In 2016 Obama changed the Smith mundt act to allow the government and media to lie to the American people. Not one piece of the information given has to be true. By doing this they created election interference and propaganda. We need this fixed immediately!

Here is the Smith Mundt Modernization Act
https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736/text
which was part of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, repealed a ban on the domestic dissemination of “public diplomacy” materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). These materials were previously intended for foreign audiences, but the repeal allowed them to be shared domestically as well.
Not a big fan of the ACLU but they do have a write up on this: New Government “Propaganda” Bill a Positive Step for First Amendment | ACLU

People do not have to be paid to be in protests. That claim is nonsense.
One can possibly claim that Organizations are supported that by grants
to help promote issues that YOUNdo not agree with. But BOTH LIBERAL and CONSERVATIVE organizations receive that kind of support. Limiting voluntary
contributions to organizations is a dangerous precedent.
They are paid. It has been tracked. It’s been going on for years.
Yes, they do it by grants. That is getting paid. That is not people protesting for free because they want their voice heard. It is not voluntary contributions when the government is taking our tax money and giving it to non profits. Government was not intended to be a fundraiser especially when the donors (taxpayers) are not giving of their free will or giving to organizations they approve.
It is also still not a real protest if anyone is being paid to think and say and do what others tell them to do. It is not a real protest if getting paid money is the reason someone is protesting.
In addition, people should actually know what they are protesting about. If you are questioned about the topic and you cannot answer the questions at all or without someone telling you a canned response to say to every question then you don’t even know what you are supporting or not supporting. That’s not real. That’s designed.

Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills firm that’s an outspoken player in the business of hiring protesters, boasts on its website that it provides its clients with “protests, rallies, flash-mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts.… We provide everything including the people, the materials and even the ideas.” LA Times
Recent protests"
They’ve got professionally-rendered signs and banners. They’ve got transportation, and food and drink. And they’ve got organizers who wear uniforms and control the crowds. Organization was distributing thousands of dollars to anti-Israel protestors.
There are several articles that have been censored and buried. You can also track this by looking up the Non profits. Where did they get their money and were did they spend it? How many videos are out of people recording organizers telling people what to do and say? It’s all trackable.
Yes, this fake news had made the American People divide and so many do not understand what is going on really. Fake news must stop!
It is also not a real protest when it was instigated by undercover government employees or their “sources”!

I agree 100%. I think this one act is what has contributed to the division in our country. If so many of the people are being lied to and manipulated with the use of the Tel lie Vision, then how can they honestly form an opinion on important matters. It speaks volumes that Obama went through the trouble to change the Smith mundt Act so that lying to WE THE PEOPLE is not a crime. Most Americans are not even aware of this change Obama made. Im happy to see that the people are waking up and want to work together to bring about positive and truthful change.
