The ink isn’t even dry on Elon Musk’s deal to buy Twitter and make speech free again, and the authoritarians in the Biden administration are nakedly acting to lock down the flow of information. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is creating a new agency called the Disinformation Governance Board.

Politico is reporting:

DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.

[Col Frank Slade]

This sounds like something Schiff would come up with.

At a supply store last weekend, someone in a patriotic visor and I communicated via sign language that we are patriots. We didn’t say a word.

[EEGator]

Don’t forget that awesome Patriot Act.

[higgmeister]

Ugh, look at her @ handle... “wiczipedia”, as if she fancies herself some encyclopedic source of knowledge.

Wouldn't “wiczipedia” be the ultimate knowledge of taking a whiz?

[Arcadian Empire]

Soviet America is being instituted.

[packagingguy]

In another article on the subject from Fox News DHS wants this in place to combat Republicans, oops I mean disinformation before the 2022 midterm election.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

“Compassionate Conservatism “. 🙄

[pepsi_junkie]

Every possible fear out of the what Bush’s DHS might become (and there were many who were nervous about it, on both sides) were seemingly just optimistic dreams that they DHS wouldn’t ever end up as bad as they’ve gotten now.

[ConservativeInPA]

That is straight out of Orwell.

Him or Ayn Rand.

[ronnie raygun]

we need to retake and crush them all to dust, enough!

[Long Jon No Silver]

Another Ukrainiast in charge of the Truth department. Ukraine is the epicentre of all things foul in the swamp

[Antoninus]

DHS needs to be disbanded. They’re not in the Constitution. Free speech, however, is in there—Amendment #1.

A Tweet from the aforementioned Ms Jankowicz:

So "Disinformation Governance Board" is just an Orwellian way of saying: "Ministry of Propaganda." Got it.

[antidemoncrat]

Just more weaponizing of the government. Do you really think he is going to allow the 2022 elections to take the governing power away from the Democrats aka Demoncrats?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yep. MiniTru come to life. I cannot imagine the executive branch has legal authority to do this. It must be blatantly unconstitutional. The damn Repubs should be screaming bloody murder about this!

[OKSooner]

Yes, me too, although that isn't saying a whole lot that's positive.

I'm still waiting for the Russian spokeslady to make good on her claim that they've got our secret biological stuff from Ukraine. I'm willing to hear her out. All she's gotta do is tell us and bring evidence.
