Misinformation Board Could Sway Gun Debate
AmmoLand News ^ | 05/16/22 | NRAHQ

In late April, Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), made a bizarre announcement during a congressional hearing that DHS was forming what it called a “Mis- and Disinformation Governance Board.” The statement came in response to a question about how DHS was responding to supposed Russian interference in American elections. Mayorkas said the Board was intended to counter threats to both election security and “homeland security.”

The DHS secretary did not, however, go into detail about what authorities the board would have and how it would exercise “governance” of the information, opinions, and narratives that reach the American people.

But the threats to American freedom and access to a diverse range of opinions and ideas are obvious. And this would be especially true for hotly contested and highly political issues like the right to keep and bear arms.

“I think we are on the path to the breakup of the nation.”

It is hard to NOT think that. Whoever would have dreamed the federal government in this great experiment in self-governance would become such a self-focused, voracious monster that would consume the country and set up its own blatant propaganda machine? We are far down the path to the USSA.

“People know that what the Federal government does is now completely out of their control, so why even ask. I think we are on the path to the breakup of the nation.”

Biden has jumped the shark.

Look to this “Ministry of Truth” to backfire bigly!

“ I haven’t heard any Republican congress people screaming to shut it down, to review its remit, to review its size, to review what it is doing and is going to do, to review the people who are running it and working for it.”

If you are still following the GOP, you will feel a lot healthier if you adjust your expectations. I’m sure they are fine with this.

I hardly follow them. They by and large all make me sick as simpering, spineless cowards. But I was merely hoping that I’d hear incidentally about a few of them taking a principled stand against this outright communist freedom grab.

“I think we are on the path to the breakup of the nation.”

Here’s what I wrote early THIS morning:

“Biden has jumped the shark. Look to this ‘Ministry of Truth’ to backfire bigly!”

Well, it wasn’t many minutes later that my prediction had come true!
