If you support Trump...
1 2018-08-02 by Yellowtag1
If you support Trump and think that he is standing up for the good guys, why do you think he hasn't repealed Obama's Smith-Mundt executive action? The Smith-Mundt act weaponized propaganda against the U.S.'s own citizens. Literally everything in the news cycle could just be a story that has no basis in reality. You want the "truthiest" truth, well that's it.
Btw... I don't care at all about politics or any type of affiliations for that matter. I'm way more interested in presenting information.

Because MSM would start REEEing about it like idiots
Until MSM is put down, you won't get any big "conspiracy" reveals
We're nearing that point though so don't worry too much I guess

That stops him from doing literally anything he does?
Bullshit.
1 Rayfloyd 2018-08-02
Optics my dude, optics
Once the numbers make sense he'll do anything he wants

He's gaslighting all of you guys to perfection
Can't wait fro /r/The_Mueller 's reaction when they realize he's not on their team lol
1 delusions- 2018-08-02
Dear lord, that's a fantastic and original conspiracy.
Better than the Qonspriacy that he's ebil and controlled by clintons or whatever their new story is.

I have been saying Mueller is gunning for Uranium One since october and have been told that's impossible by both the left and the right
Hopefully I'm right ;)
But if I am I spoiled the best plot twist in history :(
1 delusions- 2018-08-02
Certainly contradicts many of the actions of him and his team, so I can see why people told you that.
1 Rayfloyd 2018-08-02
Manafort -> Podesta Group -> Uranium One
it's that easy, but oh please tell me what action makes it impossible lol
1 delusions- 2018-08-02
When you put it like that it seems just as viable to me.
1 toofooly24 2018-08-02
So you want censorship? You want one news source claiming its the truth instead of multiple people investigating and giving you multiple sides of a story?
1 Yellowtag1 2018-08-02
No not at all. The act in itself assures censorship.
1 delusions- 2018-08-02
How is that connected to the Smith-budnt act?
1 yellowsnow2 2018-08-02
It sounds like you don't understand. In the 2013 version of the NDAA the Obama admin removed a 60 year old law against the government using propaganda and psyops against the american people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2013#Smith-Mundt_Modernization_Act_of_2012

Idk when i read it, it seems that what was once only for foreign audiences was made domestic. But there are plenty of sources online for either point of view. Ahhhh... The duality of our information cycle.
1 odd-meter 2018-08-02
I don’t support nor oppose Trump. But, I can imagine a scenario where removing, exposing, or disabling the specific people within the current political system who also wanted and are powerful enough to usher in a Smith Mundt Act in the first place might be a more effective way of un-rooting the Act permanently.
1 Yellowtag1 2018-08-02
I can see that. Good point.
1 bittermanscolon 2018-08-02
For a while, I thought Trump wasn't supposed to get in and it was supposed to be Hilary but it doesn't matter now.
If trump was for the little guy, it doesn't matter because he is in there and won't do anything about the real issues.
It doesn't matter what you think the reasoning behind this is, he isn't that white knight saving the day. It's a good thing because if we had to put up statues of that guys......fuck me. I'm not sure it would be worth it.
Anyway, trump is just another tool.
1 Itwasme101 2018-08-02
Of the super rich. Trump is not your friend. His genius come from his ability to sell. That's his entire career.
1 bittermanscolon 2018-08-02
I wouldn't even go so far as to call it genius. It's a learned skill that few have a chance to learn from and keep taking risks. Maybe even a lot of luck.
But yes, totally.
1 Itwasme101 2018-08-02
I would not call him one but his ability to sell is. He's created a cult just like L Ron Hubbard.
1 redditready1986 2018-08-02
I don't think he's sold shit. People are weak minded and easily manipulated. That doesn't make you a good seller.
1 yellowsnow2 2018-08-02
Fair question.
But it is a small part tied to a large act (NDAA). Also the executive branch does not make laws. Not making excuses just stating some facts. The extreme media propaganda has opened the eyes of a lot of people that wouldn't have understood otherwise. So in a way Trump has taught america how it has been manipulated over the years.
Maybe he is letting everyone dig a deep enough hole to bury themselves.
But in all reality I do not think the rogue intelligence agencies really need a law changed to infiltrate the media and push propaganda. They would do it regardless.
1 accountingisboring 2018-08-02
I think it is a bit more nuanced than just repealing. And you are right, what we are seeing these days is not coming from the state department. We have many factors feeding this beast right now.
1 Digitel 2018-08-02
if only he was King.
1 UncleSnake3301 2018-08-02
Very good question that I do not have the answer to. My guess is that, honestly, they know it is too powerful of a tool to get rid of. I know thats not the answer you're looking for, but that is probably it. The fruits of this law are what we see everyday in the MSM now.
1 Pete_Castiglione_ 2018-08-02
If he did, Ill bet the Q posts would stop. Unless they are indeed truth then idkwtf anymore
1 eleminnop 2018-08-02
Y'all are missing out on the ultimate conspiracy this sub was originally created for.
The irony is painful hilarious at the same time.
r/GreatAwakening is where the real party is at.
1 Pete_Castiglione_ 2018-08-02
Um hello. Ive been there since the start. Im just saying that due to this propaganda act stated in the OP, it could be a legal farce. I have trusted the plan for too long without tangible results. Charts, graphs, and sealed enditements aren't enough when your government can legally lie to your face.
1 FUCK_the_Clintons__ 2018-08-02
QAnon is gaslighting nonsense, this comes from someone who voted Trump.

The answer is simple.
First, the act was passed by a GoP Congress, and they remain in power. The chances of a repeal arriving on his desk are slim until Democrats take the chambers.
Secondly, Obama thought tooth and nail, threatening to veto the act but bowed down under pressure. He failed, and Trump always goes opposite of what Obama did. Thus on principle Trump will not repeal the act.

The answer is simple.
First, it's an act not an EO. The act was passed by a GoP Congress, and they remain in power. The chances of a repeal arriving on his desk are slim until Democrats take the chambers.
Secondly, Obama thought tooth and nail, threatening to veto the act but bowed down under pressure. He failed, and Trump always goes opposite of what Obama did. Thus on principle Trump will not repeal the act.
Thirdly, the act gives authority to the President, CIA Director, and Secretary of State to dictate any propaganda. How often do those in power give up thier power?
1 kit8642 2018-08-02
At what point do you realize Obama, like Trump plays the game of opposition? Obama also ran on single payer, and according to his supporters fought for it, but failed, and instead we got Romney Care... I mean Obama care. Then Trump and the republicans pretends their going to get rid of it, but It's a Republican's wet dream. It was created by a right wing think tank in the mid 90's, and it a hand out to the insurance companies.
Obama also did the same thing with sec 1021 of the 2012 NDAA, threatened to veto it because it literally allowed the Government to indefinitely detain US citizens without a trial, but he also failed.
When it comes to over reaching power grabs by the government, the president will always "fail" to stop it. Kind of like how Trump reauthorized FISA while at the sametime the entire right were point to It's abuses against Trump. It's all theatrics when it comes to erode our civil liberties, let companies walk all over us, and have the MIC brain wash us through media.
1 ZiggyAnimals 2018-08-02
Maybe if people vote out the lawmakers who make those laws we would actually have change. Instead everyone votes party lkkne and the representatives we have can do whatever they want.
1 kit8642 2018-08-02
It's true, we probably should vote out everyone who just passed a 700 billion dollar military budget for next year. Amazing we don't have money for anything besides the MIC.

Oh this is wholly political. And you've been misled to think Obama was the reason for it.
1 FUCK_the_Clintons__ 2018-08-02
I support policies of Presidents, not Presidents.
Trump has policies that I support and some that I disagree with.
1 previouslyhuman 2018-08-02
That was a Congressional law passed in a Republican controlled congress attached to a necessary funding bill. Not something that was directed by Obama.
Considering the Congressional leadership during Obama Presidency, perhaps if he had said he wanted it they would have blocked it since that is what they bragged about constantly, blocking anything Obama requested.

I think about that sometimes with Uranium One... if the deal is half as bad and dangerous as some people say, why haven't there been any steps to kill it or renegotiate?
1 AlwaysUsesAnAlt 2018-08-02
that one is actually incredibly easy to answer. If your enemy has an advantage over you, and you suddenly have the opportunity to seize that advantage and use hpit against him, then you should do exactly that.
That fucker through out the rule book the moment he legalized propaganda against US citizens. In fact, before that Operation Mockingbird was working that way anyway! Then, you take a look at who is working for CNN (Clapper, Brennan) which makes you realize that these clowns never planned to play fair in the first place. There are probably many more agents working alongside them and Trump is going to need every advantage he can get to stop them.
