Secret White House Memo is Key to Obama’s Propaganda

August 31, 2014 By Ernest Istook

The Obama White House wants to control what you know, which helps them control what you think, which helps them control what you do. A secret memo ordered the entire federal government to give the White House control over who gets what information.

A few weeks after President Obama took office, his attorney sent a memo that reversed all the claims about being an open and transparent administrationAgencies were ordered to go through White House lawyers on every information request involving a so-called “White House equity” which was code for any and every issue they care about. Court subpoenas, official requests from Congress, news media requests, and public asks under the Freedom of Information Act—nothing was to be released without going through the filter of political lawyers in the White House, no matter what the law said about honoring requests promptly.
And the names of requesters were put on a list—just like an enemies’ list.
What’s called the “control freak” President insists on controlling what you get to know or not. That is what we call propaganda.
