Did you think it could get any worse? Now they want to legalize the use of propaganda on American citizens -- and the vote could happen next week.



An amendment legalizing the use of mass propaganda campaigns on American audiences has been inserted into the latest defense authorization bill — and that bill just passed the House.



Please click here to demand that the Senate oppose ending the propaganda ban:

The NDAA amendment lifts bans on propaganda that have been around since the 1940s, neutralizing laws put in place to protect the American people from its government’s own “misinformation” campaigns.



“It removes the protection for Americans,” a Pentagon official told Buzzfeed, who broke the story. "There are no checks and balances. No one knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely false.”



The amendment would remove all distinction between a hostile foreign audience and American one, turning the massive information operation apparatus within the federal government against its own people.



This amendment cannot become law. Will you join us in demanding that the Senate oppose this amendment to the NDAA? Just click here:
