What I meant is that the legislation does not grant punitive authority to the government to shut down websites like the 200 on Mr. Durden’s list. The government gobeltygoop laws passes by our esteemed overlords are commonly stacked with similar language.
It’s nothing more than CYA lawyer-speak that has no teeth or direct meaning. What is tiring, is the constant BS assumption that that everyone is out to get you (us) by blowing up some vague language into an unsubstantiated assault against certain websites.
As for the Russian, Chinese, Cuban, Saudi, Israeli , British, Canadian...propagandists, they’re already here, my friend. See your friendly neighborhood university. I say let them speak. Let them speak looooouuud and long. That’s exectly what they’ve been doing since the 1960’s, and look where we are. Common sense Trumps the all the BS.
I firmly believe that any attempts to lean on this “law” to shut down free speech is going to run into a First Amendment brick wall. Have faith, my friend, we’re in God’s hands.
BTW. When was the last time Drudge authored a story under his own name, if at all in the recent past. Just remind anyone who says that Drudge puts out propaganda that they are somewhat correct since he links AP stories from various websites on a daily basis.
To be accurate, that list of sites was not created by Mr. Durden. It was created by an organization called PropOrNot, which was subsequently referenced by the Washington Post in their clarion call article that such sites be shut down.

I disagree, based on the exact wording of the statue that I previously provided in my last post. Granted, any actual action would have to come through an organization within the executive branch, but the committee being created will contain high level executive branch members who would have such capacity. And, any recommendation that came from the committee would be a proverbial green light for such actions.

Well conservatives have been fighting an uphill battle for many years now, against a President that has gone mostly unchecked in his violation of the separation of powers clause of the Constitution, and, and a fully complicit and enabling media. So we've earned that right to be suspicious. I, for one, am happy to see us finally finding our footing, and pushing back. Hard.
