US House Bill 6393 Passed to Counter Russian “Fake News” & its “Repeaters”

They are really taking their defeats in Syria and in recent elections to heart, as the Russian media network, and others like it, are taking much of their audience around the globe.
Add to this are the independent bloggers who are widening the discussion about pertinent issues of the day, and in some cases even discovering new ones purposely left out by the mainstream media.

In response to their increasingly undeniable irrelevance, an onslaught of anti-“fake news” propaganda were unleashed right away in recent days and in all major media networks and establishment blogs, against those sites where people are frequenting for their daily dose of verifiable news.
Interestingly enough, while they were doing that anti-“fake news” overdrive, the US Congress itself is passing a bill that for all intents and purposes acknowledges the effective delivery of Russian news outlets which should only be possible if the audience trust those sites.
Consider the House Bill no. 6393 which is aimed at countering “active measures by the Russian Federation to exert covert influence over peoples and governments. It places travel restrictions on personnel and consulars of the Russian Federation in the United States,” and passed without the noisy mainstream media ever talking about it.
These are signs that, unlike before, they are now accepting the fact about their own failure to influence much of the news consuming public, and one of these days, we shouldn’t be surprised if they might just start closing shop.
Here’s the house bill summary:

Definitely, the decentralized “fake news” alternative media is gaining the upperhand as of now in the battle for the mind of the individual, and the responsibility and the risks have never been greater.
Remember that in March of this year, RT founder Mikhail Lesin, died under highly questionable circumstance in Washington, DC.

The investigation into former Russian Press Minister Mikhail Lesin’s death was referred to the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. Despite that, US media say authorities don’t see the death as suspicious, citing sources in law enforcement.
The New York Times has reported that the referral of Lesin’s case to the Justice Department’s Criminal Division in March was merely a formality, suggesting that no criminal investigation followed.
Citing the same unnamed sources, the New York Times says neither the FBI, nor the US Justice Department have been taking an active part in the ongoing investigation.
Initial reports following Lesin’s death in DC’s Dupont Hotel on November 5, 2015 said he suffered a heart attack.
Four months later, in March, Washington police and a DC medical examiner announced the cause of death as blunt head trauma. They added that “blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities and lower extremities” contributed to the 57 year old’s death.

He was a very close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

  1. U.S. House Bill 6393 passed to counter Russian “Fake News” & its “Repeaters”.
    Good grief why don’t they look within themselves and to current and past members of that ‘august’ body… they will find plenty of “Fake News” perpatrators.
    Not only there but within the Senate also. Or maybe they can pass a bill against lying and grandstanding. But that won’t ever happen.

  2. The various news releases via RT that excaped appropriate coverage by the major networks, and the authenticity of information presented by RT, has been typically unique. One concludes that RT was not a constituent of the 96% newmedia that is owned by six jewish families, whose news media continue to support Hillary Clinton for POTUS, while defaming Mr. Trump, Americans who selected him, and individual Trump family members. Nor has a link suggesting support of RT by the CIA/MOSSAD been published. Nor do blows to the head usually result in heart attacks.
    Organizations affiliated with the 96% news media report that “authorities” don’t see the death of Mr. Lesin to be suspicious. Which, is adequate grounds to suggest the involvement of elements of US political life, that continue to “ramrod” Clinton for POTUS, to be associated with Lesin´s death. My studies suggest involvement of the MOSSAD, the spy and assassination arm of Judaism. The skill and secrecy of MOSSAD assassinations is clarified in books by two former MOSSAD agents, Ari Ben-Menashe and Victor Ostrovsky.

  3. I believe there exists something called “Freedom of Speech and Expression”; as a ‘Being’ evolved with Natural Intelligence, Wisdom, Logic, and beyond, I seek the facts and truths concerning just what is the ‘reality’ I exist in from all/any sources within the MANTRIX and beyond. These actions, by corporations who misleading portray themselves to have the ‘authority’ to govern only place more pressure on one’s denying their fraudulent and criminal existence.
    “We” are more than capable of researching and identifying what is the Truth and the Reality; and thus, no one in any occult-based power structure, who has mere self-appointed powers due to another’s voluntary acceptance of being governmentally enslaved, can take into hostage and/or bondage the Right of True Being to be free under Natural Law or Superior Guidance; the later, as defined to be the very foundations of all/any existing ‘human laws’ … in their virtual nature of mind control.

  4. It is just another business condition by the US Inc. in Washington, because they cannot create Laws like a state.
