H.R.5736 - Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012

Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 - Amends the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to authorize the Secretary of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to provide for the preparation and dissemination of information intended for foreign audiences abroad about the United States, including about its people, its history, and the federal government's policies, through press, publications, radio, motion pictures, the Internet, and other information media, including social media, and through information centers and instructors. (Under current law such authority is restricted to information disseminated abroad, with a limited domestic exception.)

Authorizes the Secretary and the Board to make available in the United States motion pictures, films, video, audio, and other materials prepared for dissemination abroad or disseminated abroad pursuant to such Act, the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act, or the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act.

Amends the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 to prohibit funds for the Department of State or the Board from being used to influence public opinion or propagandizing in the United States. (Under current law such provision applies to the United States Information Agency [USIA].)

Applies such prohibition only to programs carried out pursuant to the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, the Radio Broadcasting to Cuba Act, and the Television Broadcasting to Cuba Act.

States that such provision shall: (1) not prohibit the Department or the Board from providing information about its operations, policies, programs, or program material, or making such information available to members of the media, public, or Congress; (2) not be construed to prohibit the Department from engaging in any medium of information on a presumption that a U.S. domestic audience may be exposed to program material; and (3) apply only to the Department and the Board and to no other federal department or agency.

So, This act was never repealed, but it was amended in 2012 to allow the Globalist Communists the right to "entertain" us with their lies. What needs to happen is a lawsuit challenging that amendment.

Wish that were the case, but I don't think so - since the Amendment was signed into law via NDAA (I think). So, it would have to be legislatively repealed or overturned via the courts.

He needs to put this on blast, all day, ever day. If the point is to reach everyday retired CNN watching Joe (like my father) he needs to make the MSM talk about it.

When I told my father about it, he asked me "how the hell do you know all this?" Then the eyes glaze over because the box doesn't talk about it.

My black coworker is CNN 24/7. I can't even begin to discuss fake news with her, because it is perceived as my not liking what they say about our President.


All this "fake news" clamoring looks like simple name calling to these people. They do not get it, and will not get it until the SMA is in the public psyche.
