I am Portuguese and this is not happening in Portugal. Most of the Covid passport restrictions were lifted and we don't have crazy mandates like "no jab, no job". And we don't use masks anymore in cafes or restaurants. Things are going back to normal and we only speak about our budget for the next year and how bankrupted we are. Don't trust this WSJ bullshitt propaganda.
The problem we have here is that the WSJ and the NYT are mouthpieces for the intelligence community and the deep state. When these newspapers propagandize, their lies originate with our most powerful institutions; these news stories are more like declarations than suggestions.
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].)
A law passed in 1948 to prevent propaganda being distributed domestically. Big surprise that the agencies that pushed for the repeal…DoJ and CIA.
They killed a journalist who was in the process of investigating the key players behind it, and FBI refused to disclose their file on him as well, even after an FOIA request. This was pigeon-holed because it was 2012-2013 and the deep state had firm control of the narrative.
