The Smith-mundt Act never actually forbade propaganda being used on the american people. It only forbade showing propaganda intended for a foreign audience to a domestic audience.

Propaganda should never be condoned, even when directed at 'your enemy.'

No worries, this is one of the most commonly overlooked things in the conspiracy realm.
