Smith-Munt Modernization Act, Domestic Propaganda, ISIL Videos
The Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, passed as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, is identified as the legal mechanism allowing the U.S. government to broadcast propaganda domestically. This legislation allegedly facilitates the use of fake ISIL beheading videos to manipulate public opinion. The hosts argue that the government is now legally permitted to run COINTELPRO-style operations on its own citizens.
