Babylon Bee: Government Disinformation Board Determines All Criticism Of Government Disinformation Board To Be Disinformation
Babylon Bee ^ | 04/29/2022 | Babylon Bee

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In its first official act, the new DHS Government Disinformation Board ruled today that all criticism of the Government Disinformation Board is disinformation. This comes in response to sharp criticism from conservatives, which they say is untrue and unwarranted.

“The new board has barely begun its work and already many have jumped to the entirely unwarranted conclusion that it will be used to quash free speech," said DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. "This could not be further from the truth, as everyone in this country has the right to say how much they support and agree with the Biden administration. It is only that speech that we disagree with which will be labeled as disinformation. This follows the well-established practice of media fact-checkers and social media content moderators.”

The ruling further found as “substantially dishonest, false and untrue” all allegations that the work of the board would in any way resemble that of “The Ministry of Truth” from George Orwell’s 1984. The Board stated: “There is no possible way that we could have been inspired by George Orwell’s 1984 since none of us have read that book or even know who this Orwell person is.”

Nina Jankowicz, President of the Board, concluded the ruling by singing a song to the tune of “Supercalifragilistic” from Mary Poppins. The lyrics, in part, were: “People think our lovely board is somehow quite atrocious, we conclude they suffer from a terrible psychosis, so we will come down on them in ways that are ferocious, please excuse my singing as I’ve got bad halitosis.”

At publishing time, Ms. Jankowicz was still working on choreography to accompany her song, along with a big closing number, “A Spoon Full of Coercion Helps the Propaganda Go Down.”

A little different, same idea:

Government Disinformation Board Determines That Anything Contrary to Government Disinformation Is To Be Disinformation

Will the new Ministry of Truth have their own SWAT teams? And those neat panel vans with all that equipment crammed into it?

> Absolutely my fear. Leftists are nothing if not incrementalists

Its not that simple.

The "old timers" starting with Clinton and Tony Blair definitely were definitely Fabians, their "Third Way" initiative for governance is based on nudging society in the correct (in their view) direction via incremental regulations issued by the numerous alphabet soup agencies that now actually make our laws.

But I think that era ended with Barak Obama, and the Democrat shift to "bold action" under canard of correcting the "evils of western society" is accelerating exponentially and irreversibly.

However, both Democrat socialist camps rightly claim FDR's New Deal as their touchstone, since his presidency stealthily installed our current unconstitutional administrative state, and have become so intrenched they cannot be removed without a complete reset and replacement of our current Federal Government by a new Convention of States.

Tucker showed that last night. The woman is insane. She actually did that and expects to be lauded for it.

I’m going to take the opposite side of most people here. I thought it was a cute parody song, even though it was complete BS. If some of our people did the same song but included lines about disinformation by Humper Biden and The Big Guy, Governor “death camp” Cuomo, the FBI’s fake kidnapping of Michigan’s governor and (of course) Dr. “Killing Beagles and breeding viruses” Fauci we would be laughing our butts off.

I thought it was funny parody, but...if she really did sing it, it says more about her. If it were a dinner party with friends, that would be one thing...if it was a serious setting, that is a bit different.

Heh, I also liked the "A Spoon Full of Coercion Helps the Propaganda Go Down"

Twitter users shocked by ‘ridiculous’ TikTok of new ‘disinformation czar’ singing: ‘God help us’

‘Who would have thought the collapse of the world’s greatest empire would be so funny’

Twitter users erupted after an unearthed TikTok video showed the Biden administration’s new Disinformation Governance Board executive director singing a revised version of Mary Poppins’ “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” tailored around “information laundering.”

“You can just call me the Mary Poppins of disinformation!” Nina Jankowicz tweeted in February 2021, attaching a link to her musical reprisal.

Wait, I thought Babylon Bee was supposed to be a satire site? This is spot on.

The Bee might as well just get press credentials from the government. Virtually everything that they publish has so much truth in it that they have more credibility than the existing mainstream media.

With regard to the subject at hand, all that I can say is that we should make Orwell’s “1984” fiction again.
