a room full of monkeys

They decided that if you take a room full of monkeys with a room full of typewriters, they will not ever produce anything intelligent.  Do you know where this test was conducted?  Congress, that's where. 

I'm signing this petition, but can Congress be taught to read?

Friends-

Did you think it could get any worse? Now they want to legalize the use of
propaganda on American citizens -- and the vote could happen next week.

An amendment legalizing the use of mass propaganda campaigns on American
audiences has been inserted into the latest defense authorization bill - and
that bill just passed the House.

Please click here to demand that the Senate oppose ending the propaganda
ban:

The NDAA amendment lifts bans on propaganda that have been around since the
1940s, neutralizing laws put in place to protect the American people from
its government's own "misinformation" campaigns.

"It removes the protection for Americans," a Pentagon official told
Buzzfeed, who broke the story. "There are no checks and balances. No one
knows if the information is accurate, partially accurate, or entirely
false."

The amendment would remove all distinction between a hostile foreign
audience and American one, turning the massive information operation
apparatus within the federal government against its own people.

This amendment cannot become law. Will you join us in demanding that the
Senate oppose this amendment to the NDAA? Just click here:
