Law
Late on Friday, with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays and
oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly
signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which
authorizes $611 billion for the military in 2017.
In a statement, Obama said that:
Today, I have signed into law S. 2943, the “National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.” This Act authorizes fiscal year
2017 appropriations principally for the Department of Defense and for
Department of Energy national security programs, provides vital benefits for
military personnel and their families, and includes authorities to
facilitate ongoing operations around the globe. It continues many critical
authorizations necessary to ensure that we are able to sustain our momentum
in countering the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
and to reassure our European allies, as well as many new authorizations that
, among other things, provide the Departments of Defense and Energy more
flexibility in countering cyber-attacks and our adversaries’ use of
unmanned aerial vehicles."
Much of the balance of Obama's statement blamed the GOP for Guantanamo's
continued operation and warned that "unless the Congress changes course, it
will be judged harshly by history," Obama said. Obama also said Congress
failed to use the bill to reduce wasteful overhead (like perhaps massive F-
35 cost overruns?) or modernize military health care, which he said would
exacerbate budget pressures facing the military in the years ahead.
But while the passage of the NDAA - and the funding of the US military - was
hardly a surprise, the biggest news is what was buried deep inside the
provisions of the Defense Authortization Act. | s*******u

发帖数: 16484 | 4 Under Cover of Christmas, Obama Establishes Controversial Anti-Propaganda
Agency
In the final hours before the Christmas holiday weekend, U.S. President
Barack Obama on Friday quietly signed the 2017 National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) into law—and buried within the $619 billion
military budget (pdf) is a controversial provision that establishes a
national anti-propaganda center that critics warn could be dangerous for
press freedoms.
The Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act, introduced by Republican
Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, establishes the Global Engagement Center under the
State Department which coordinates efforts to "recognize, understand,
expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and
disinformation efforts aimed at undermining United Sates national security
interests."
Further, the law authorizes grants to non-governmental agencies to help "
collect and store examples in print, online, and social media,
disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda" directed at the U.S. and its
allies, as well as "counter efforts by foreign entities to use
disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda to influence the policies and
social and political stability" of the U.S. and allied nations.
The head of the center will be appointed by the president, which likely
means the first director will be chosen by President-elect Donald Trump. | w*p
