The craft of Legalese and propaganda
"It's real because I saw it on TV..."
If more people understood the actual meaning and intent of words, it would be helpful...
Everything in this reality requires your "consent", whether that is obtained by hook or crook is of little consequence. Caveat Redemptor.
Legalese is a form of the craft after all. A “spell”. Using words as a mechanism of control.
Witchcraft is the manipulation, domination, or intimidation of anything or anyone for the sake of working one’s own will.
Just like science... More on that? https://krakahead.blogspot.com/2019/05/she-blinded-me-with-science.html
Many "Legal" words do not have the same meaning.
You can read the Patriot Act and think you are being "saved", meanwhile it's the new updated terms of your enslavement...
It doesn't matter if one failed to understand the terms of the contract they signed, or "User Agreement" they "approved". One is still bound by the terms...
Legalese is a mofo. Here's a fine example.
The repeal of the Smith Mundt Act in 2012 effectively legalized propaganda and the creation of "events" to influence domestic audiences. In other words, "it is said that" they can create a scenario and broadcast it as "news" to influence people to support certain action or legislation. For example, it would be legal to produce a school shooting scenario to influence domestic audiences to support gun control legislation, despite it being purely a fictional event... as long as it was "intended" for foreign audiences.
Here it is in black and white. We will break down the legalese to clearly see the intent and purpose.
It is intended to deceive. there are multiple levels of "meaning" and a perception is fostered. The core of a CONtract. You are being conned. There's a reason they do not teach this in school... One is easier to CONtrol if they are ignorant of the rules of the game. Knowledge IS power. That's why "Everything you are told is a lie".
Anyway...
A few fine highlights to note. (You will need to read the document first for this breakdown to make sense.)
https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736/text
First line
"To amend the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to authorize the domestic dissemination of information and material about the United States intended primarily for foreign audiences, and for other purposes."
"authorize the domestic dissemination of information and material about the United States"
Regardless of "intent" for foreign audiences, domestic dissemination of information is authorized.
Previously, due to the Smith Mundt Act it was illegal for foreign created propaganda to be disseminated to domestic audiences.
“(C) to ensure that the persons seeking release of such material have secured and paid for necessary United States rights and licenses."
One does not need "US rights and license" if distribution is not intended for US markets.
They only would need license for the territory where the propaganda is being published...
A BIG giveaway here.
“(b) Rule of construction.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors from engaging in any medium or form of communication, either directly or indirectly, because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material, or based on a presumption of such exposure. Such material may be made available within the United States and disseminated, when appropriate, pursuant to sections 502 and 1005 of the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. 1462 and 1437), except that nothing in this section may be construed to authorize the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors to disseminate within the United States any program material prepared for dissemination abroad on or before the effective date of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012.”
"Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the"...... "State"...... "from engaging"..... "because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material."
This clearly removes laws and obstructions related to disseminating propaganda to domestic audiences.
While on the surface fostering perceptions and claims to prevent American audiences from being influenced... it does NOT prohibit.
This sums it all up... "Such material may be made available within the United States and disseminated, when appropriate..."
Bottom line, (I will repeat this because it is essential), the repeal of the Smith Mundt Act in 2012 effectively legalized propaganda and the creation of "events" to influence domestic audiences. In other words, "it is said that" they can create a scenario and broadcast it as "news" to influence people to support certain action or legislation. For example, it would be legal to produce a Measles epidemic scenario to influence domestic audiences to support mandatory vaccination legislation, despite it being purely a fictional event... as long as it was "intended" for foreign audiences.
In doubt, refresh yourself with the “(b) Rule of construction. above^^^"—Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit"...
Nothing... to prohibit them from doing whatever they want.
Ben Swann has a nice report covering some other angles including the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016. https://youtu.be/xdQDuhsk3CE
Domestic Propaganda Ban to be Lifted?
Michael Hastings voices his opinion on the subject back in the day, before he suffered a mysterious and coincidental death.

When "everything you know is a lie", truth hides in the crazy conspiracy theories.
How Disinformation Agents Spread Their Webs of Deception
Information obtained from: http://www.wanttoknow.info/g/disinformation-agentsIt is quite easy for a disinformation agent to spin a rich disinformation tale and then craft several different versions of the tale with new ‘facts’ to support the story in each one. These tales are usually a good mix of verifiable facts and cleverly designed lies, so that people who check the ‘facts’ tend to believe the lies that are mixed in.
The disinformation agent has only to feed these versions of his tale to several of the many conspiracy oriented websites out there, and it’s all over the Internet – but not on reliable websites. These same disinformation agents will use pseudonyms to join in on the discussions generated by their « news » so that they can manipulate the direction that comments take.
In respect to propaganda, it does not matter what the truth is, it matter what you beLIEve it is, and that you act accordingly.
“The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” – William Colby, former CIA director
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” – William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981)
“Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State.” – James Angleton, head of CIA counter intelligence from 1954-1974
“I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.” – Harry S. Truman
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” – J. Edgar Hoover, ex-FBI director on the New World Order conspiracy
“If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts.” – George H. W. Bush
” I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.” – John F. Kennedy
“Fifty men have run America, and that’s a high figure.” – Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New York Times
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” – John Swinton, former New York Times Chief of Staff
This is a fun expose on word magick http://www.trickedbythelight.com/tbtl/language.shtml
Cognitive dissonance is ever so ouchy for the feeble minded folk. Thinking beyond the narrative and discerning piles of conflicting information that defy one’s beLIEf system is hard... so most just revert to their "programming"...
Reject your programming.
THINK
You really don't need the shiny man on TV to do that for you?
The more you know, the less you just beLIEve.
