It allowed…

“Additionally, just this month, the Washington Post exposed a counter-propaganda program by the Pentagon that recommended posting comments on a U.S. website run by a Somali expat with readers opposing al-Shabab. “Today, the military is more focused on manipulating news and commentary on the Internet, especially social media, by posting material and images without necessarily claiming ownership,” reported the Post.”

Sound familiar?

Government and government-adjacent actors manipulating commentary on the internet?

What difference does it make?
I was assured that NSA et al are vital security for USA and that Edward Snowden needed to be tried as a traitor. And wikileaks is horrible, and the Patriot act is the best thing for people with nothing to hide. The moderna shot is good for me and a cold virus is lethal.

The universities have been infiltrated and co-opted by progressives for over a century. Woodrow Wilson came out of university faculty.

Propaganda use on U.S. citizens has been happening since the creation of PBS and NPR. And this is just a minimum. In reality its been happening at least since NBC and CBS were founded.

Does Mike Benz not have any idea who Earl Warren was? In the context of radical left wing judges, Louis Brandeis was the first and realistically an argument can be made that Oliver Wendell Holmes was actually the first; though Holmes accelerated in the middle of his tenure from moderately left to rocket moonbat.

Smith-Mundt is a distraction. It is not needed. It can stay dead.

As long as we let progressives control the universities there will always be activist judges. Are you simply waiting for the next election? The time to get up and do something is not November 7th 2028. The time is now. It is unwise to waste four years of your time waiting.
