The plausible deniability doctrine of NSC 10/2 gave the State Department and CIA the ability to lie to the American People. The Smith-Mundt Act protected the American People from American propaganda.

President Obama tore that down when he modernized the SMA, opening the door for organization like USAID to openly lie to the American People about what they do and why they do it.

Mike Benz narrates this whiteboard experience and sheds some light on the function of the SMA in relation to organizations like USAID.
