Following the announcement of his "Disinformation Governance Board," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas found himself scrambling to spin the hideous new speech enforcer, claiming it was not as Orwellian as any normal person would think.
Speaking with Fox News, Sunday he told Bret Baier:
"This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that, in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland, our work does not infringe on free speech, does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties," he continued. "It's not about speech, it's about the connectivity to violence.

Not one word of it is to be believed.
Baier did a pretty good objective-effort interview but one thing he didn't mention was the strange timing of the DGB rollout:
It was right when Elon Musk decided to purchase Twitter in order to restore its free speech orientation. The left had an absolute meltdown about that, as they had benefited politically from Twitter's outrageous censorship practices which were ongoing. The leftists of Twitter had shut down the president of the United States who was guilty of nothing, on claims of preventing 'violence,' as well as America's oldest newspaper, the New York Post, after it uncovered a major news story about Biden family corruption based on the contents of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop. Twitter at the time called it foreign 'disinformation' and falsely claimed it was hacked rather than abandoned content, while in reality, their real aim was to benefit the 2020 presidential campaign of Joe Biden as an illegal in-kind donation, which they got away with.
The timing of this board has nothing to do with that? Yes, we know that the left has been bucking for more censorship on social media -- as the case of the phony Democrat-linked Facebook whistleblower, Francis Haugen

Turning up “misinformation,” or at least pointing to the possibility of it, used to be the purview of journalism.
So clearly going to use it to attack political opposition.
They will never shake the truthful moniker of Ministry of Truth.
Mock them into non-existence.
Half do, unfortunately.
When journalism became the Ministry of Propaganda they thought they had us in a box.
There is still too much free thought and speech so they need a Ministry of Truth, too.
Well since the public can’t prop up the Resident our tax payer funded government will at least try. Using tax Payer money to add insult to INJURY!!!
Looks like they are now emptying out yours/ours 401Ks ETC!!!
Alejandro Mayorkas is yet another natural-born professional liar. The Republicans who voted to accept this POS should be ashamed of themselves.
The U.S. federal government is OOC.
Not debatable.
