 A note from Pastor Kevin Lea follows this article.

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.

Recall that as we reported in early June, “a bill to implement the U.S.’ very own de facto Ministry of Truth had been quietly introduced in Congress. As with any legislation attempting to dodge the public spotlight the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016 marks a further curtailment of press freedom and another avenue to stultify avenues of accurate information. Introduced by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu, H.R. 5181 seeks a “whole-government approach without the bureaucratic restrictions” to counter “foreign disinformation and manipulation,” which they believe threaten the world’s “security and stability.”

Also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016 (S. 2692), when introduced in March by Sen. Rob Portman, the legislation represents a dramatic return to Cold War-era government propaganda battles. “These countries spend vast sums of money on advanced broadcast and digital media capabilities, targeted campaigns, funding of foreign political movements, and other efforts to influence key audiences and populations,” Portman explained, adding that while the U.S. spends a relatively small amount on its Voice of America, the Kremlin provides enormous funding for its news organization, RT.

“Surprisingly,” Portman continued, “there is currently no single U.S. governmental agency or department charged with the national level development, integration and synchronization of whole-of-government strategies to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation.”

Long before the “fake news” meme became a daily topic of extensive conversation on such discredited mainstream portals as CNN and WaPo, H.R. 5181 would task the Secretary of State with coordinating the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to “establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response,” which will pinpoint

Note from Pastor Kevin Lea:  For thousands of years governments have controlled the information going to their citizens so that they can control the narrative and thus the people themselves.  In America, decades of effort on their part have successfully consolidated 90+% of America’s main stream news organizations under the control of a handful of corporations, with all of them telling us the exact same news every day. 

 With the advent of the internet, central control of national information is being lost. As a result, the government’s ability to get the population to believe and follow the party line is slipping fast.  In recent years, several false flag events have occurred around the world with the government controlled news media quickly identifying the boogeymen and telling the people they have to support the administration’s effort to go “fight the enemy”. 

But within hours or days, the facts on the ground are found to be contrary to the government’s storyline and the internet based media is able to expose their lies to a rapidly growing percentage of informed citizens. 

 This has created quite a problem for the elites who are trying to force the inhabitants of the world into compliant New World Order Citizens.  On January 17, 2014, Infowars.com reported “Writing for the Atlantic Council, a prominent think tank based in Washington DC, Harlan K. Ullman warns that an “extraordinary crisis” is needed to preserve the “new world order,” which is under threat of being derailed by non-state actors like Edward Snowden.” http://www.infowars.com/think-tank-extraordinary-crisis-needed-to-preserve-new-world-order/

But if the elites attempt to create an “extraordinary crisis” to accelerate their global government goals, what happens if the alternate media is able to expose their “crisis” as another false flag event.  The government could reasonably fear that if they botch the crime scene and are again “caught” in their “fake news” about the “crisis”, then the people might quickly rise up and rebel, putting an end to their ability to scare the masses while hiding behind their Wizard of Oz curtain and smoke.

 It now appears that before the extraordinary crisis will be foisted upon us, they have decided to give themselves the ability to shut down any alternate news source that may have access to the facts and who also have the ability to share those facts with the internet world. 

 With the now signed Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act on the books, during the next false flag, anyone who attempts to provide evidence contrary to the party line will be shut down and branded by the Main Stream Media (government propaganda machine) as “fake news”.  And We the People will have no way to know what the truth is unless we are in the middle of the “crisis” to see it for ourselves. 

It seems like the prophetic cards have all been shuffled and dealt out on the table, and the final New World Order game is about to begin.  It is so wonderful to know that in the end, they lose, and our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah, will come to take those who love Him to be with Him in heaven forever.  Let the world system have their despots, but let those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (and have placed their hope and trust in Jesus as their savior) look up, for our redemption is drawing near!
