Should we be alarmed by Biden’s new Disinformation Governance Board?

An Agency created that is TOTALLY against the 1st Ammendment.

[Sarcazmo]

Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it. What’s the worst could happen?

[Boomer One]

I understand Baghdad Bob is available to be the spokesperson.

SO, Who is Nina Jankowica, the executivedirector of this Disinformation Governance Board?

Jankowicz is a fellow at the Wilson Center where she studied the 'intersection of democracy and technology in Central and Eastern Europe.' She also wrote books such as “How To Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict” and “How to Be a Woman Online.” 

Obviously, there is a pattern here that her recruiters in the Biden administration liked.

The Oxford Dictionary defines disinformation as “a form of propaganda involving the dissemination of false information with the deliberate intent to deceive or mislead.”

So how has Jankowicz’s record been on combating disinformation?

When stories about Hunter Biden's infamous laptop broke, Jankowicz was among those attempting to dismiss it as disinformation.

She repeated the false claim that former intelligence experts had branded it likely "Russian disinformation."

When she almost conceded that the emails on the laptop could be real, she claimed it was part of “part of an influence campaign.”

"...it has to be within the realm of the law"

That is easy. It is already in the law called the Constitution..

The traitorous DeepState puppetmasters of ChiComjoe and his kakistocracy have given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Should we be surprised when this traitorous kakistocracy creates a Gestapo agency, headed by a leftwing lunatic, to curtail the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution?

[XRdsRev]

How is something disinformation unless it has been proven to be disinformation ???

Unless a statement can unequivocally and factually be proven to be incorrect, it is just opinion and opinion cannot be disinformation.

[SeekAndFind]

Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it. What’s the worst could happen?

For one, look at the newly appointed Executive Director's view of Donald Trump:

The fact that the government the board is running raises questions.

• How do they define 'disinformation'?  
• How will they combat ‘disinformation’ on social media? 
  • Will they merely order social media firms to label certain posts as disinformation? 
  • Will this 'disinformation' be suppressed, the way Twitter did to the Hunter laptop story? 
  • Will users who spread 'disinformation' be suspended? 
  • Will the might of the law be used against 'disinformation' spreaders?

The mere presence of a government-run Disinformation board may deter some, who just do not want trouble from speaking out, which probably was always the goal.

“Why are conservatives worried? Only those who spread disinformation have a reason to panic?” is what the board members will tell you, almost hinting that your concerns are proof of your guilt.

So how has the record of the Biden administration been in these matters?

Their treatment of the protestors of Jan. 6 has been sub-human. The blatantly partisan Jan. 6 House select committee exists merely to persecute and torment political opponents. Parents who were concerned about their children being indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory were branded domestic terrorists. Also, their myriad purposeless investigations of President Trump exist to prevent him from running in 2024.

Those who are confident about their ideas always welcome debates because opposing perspectives always enrich the mind. The Democrats know that their ideas are deeply flawed, very unpopular, and often bizarre and even dangerous. Hence the only way to push these ideas is to mandate them and make any questioning of them illegal.

The airheaded woman (Nina Jankowicz) they picked to run this is laughable. This Biden Administration is one continuous Saturday Night Live skit.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

IMO said agency will be the target of vicious and justified ridicule. All that really needs to happen is for Conservs and Repub types to set up “factcheck” websites, which I am sure will start and proliferate. There will come a point where, unless you are a Joe Scarborough or Brian Stelter, your cred will be instantly shot if you utilize such a site as your source in a discussion/argument.

[Twotone]

These people are absolutely Orwellian. I have no problem with a gov’t official contradicting something false, but this board is insane.

[mjp]

This is Big Brother speaking:

newspeak is now the official language of New America, because it has been devised by the Ministry of Truth to meet the ideological needs of NAMSOC, or New America socialism. So, be good little slaves and obey the thought police, because if you commit a thoughtcrime by opposing groupthink, you will be punished.

I am watching you!

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Here is a link to Tucker Carlson’s opening last night on Nina and Biden’s new Ministry of Truth.

[PIF]

Anyone who imagines this new dept is only aimed at Russian DI, is naive or foolish.

[Durbin]

When the main source for disinformation says they are going to govern disinformation. Yes, we should be concerned.

[butlerweave]

Something the Bidens learned from their Chinese Communist Party friends ?

[nuke_road_warrior]

Herr Gobbles would be proud.

[ThunderSleeps]

"Disinformation" will become anything, anything not approved of by the ruling leftist junta. In fact, everything will be labeled or assumed to be disinformation until it is "official" in the new Pravda.

We are literally becoming as repressive as the former Soviet Union.

I realize all great republics eventually fall. I just never thought the US's fall would be in my lifetime.
