ORIGINAL POST:
After a rough three weeks in which conservatives landed significant hits on and exposed major flaws with the Department of Homeland Security's "Disinformation Governance Board," the much-mocked Ministry of Truth has been "paused" and Disinfo Czar Nina Jankowicz is looking to the exits.
This news, comes from a new "scoop" reported by none other than The Washington Post's Taylor Lorenz. Most of permanent-victim Lorenz's post is the same pablum we've seen from the mainstream media about how extremely qualified Jankowicz is and how critical the threat of so-called disinformation is to democracy — all without mentioning that Jankowicz has been a leading voice pushing debunked narratives and outright false information. Her rather laughable headline for the piece is: "How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts." Sure, Taylor.
As Lorenz writes in the piece published Wednesday morning:
...the Disinformation Governance Board is being “paused,” according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution.
But Tuesday night, Jankowicz was pulled into an urgent call with DHS officials who gave her the choice to stay on, even as the department’s work was put on hold because of the backlash it faced, according to multiple people with knowledge of the call. Working groups within DHS focused on mis-, dis- and mal-information have been suspended. The board could still be shut down pending a review from the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Jankowicz is evaluating her position within the department.
Another interesting tidbit in the WaPo report is that the woman who was in charge of determining which speech was allowable and which wasn't — and even said she believed elites like herself should be allowed to add context to other users' online posts — was told to shut up by the Biden administration.
Described by Lorenz as enduring "attacks" (aka legitimate criticism of a terrible idea), "Jankowicz herself was told to stay silent. After attempting to defend herself on Twitter April 27, she was told by DHS officials to not issue any further public statements, according to multiple people close to her," Lorenz reported.
It's worth noting as well that Jankowicz had tweeted her support for Lorenz in the past, so the whole piece seeks to make a victim out of Jankowicz in order to come to her rescue like some sort of hero. "Girlcode," or something. To be clear, Jankowicz made herself a target, and almost all of the criticism of the Disinfo board's chief and its mission was based on publicly available information.
Jankowicz didn't have to tweet false claims about the veracity of Hunter Biden's laptop, but she did. She didn't have to post cringey TikTok videos singing songs about disinformation like some kind of looney librarian, but she did.
And the result of what Lorenz describes — a textbook example of Dems in Disarray — shows that the Biden administration somehow didn't see opposition coming when it announced what amounted to a Federal Bureau of Stopping Wrongspeak:
Democratic lawmakers, legislative staff and other administration employees who sought to defend Jankowicz were caught flat-footed. Administration officials did not brief the relevant congressional staff and committees ahead of the board’s launch, and members of Congress who had expressed interest in disinformation weren’t given a detailed explanation about how it would operate. A fact sheet released by DHS on May 2 did nothing to quell the outrage that had been building on the Internet, nor did it clarify much of what the board would actually be doing or Jankowicz’s role in it.
Now that the American people are aware of and against a government-ordained ministry of truth, the Biden administration is scrambling to deal with another internal crisis of their own creation. But all Biden's men, it seems, were unable to turn the tide.
Then I guess it will be there when the ‘Pubbies take the executive in 2024. Then it’s our turn...
Don’t leave!
Oh, nose! whatever will we do? Wherever will we go?
There’s always tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day./Sarc
CNN+ shut down in less than a month.
Disinformation board shut down in 3 weeks.
They are losing/have lost control of the narrative. Even White House Jen knew she couldn’t keep control any more.
Next target is White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Eyes on target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Alinsky Rule 11.
“Mayorkas needs to be flushed out of the system, along with Garland, Biden himself, Harris, and the rest.”
To do this we need Donald Trump back in office on January 20, 2025.
Just substitute the word ‘who’ with ‘he’ and see if the sentence is grammatically correct. If ‘him’ is the proper fit using that test, then use “whom.”
Using National Non-Technical Means I was able to discover the lyrics to the song she sings on her next Tik Tok video. To the tune I'm a Little Teapot:
I'm a little crackpot
I sing and shout
Your rights I trample
Wrong thoughts stampout
But my plan’s cracked-up
Such wacky things I spout
Even Brandon now has a doubt!
I'm a very special crackpot
Yes, it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my debut into a rout
Even Brandon now has a doubt!
nicely done
No, the MoT-ley crew won't go underground. They jumped the shark on this blatant attempt to control free speech. MoT is now on everyone's radar. Some times the Swamp doesn't win.
Scary Poppins opens her umbrella and flues away.
The spineless AP’s headline was “New ‘disinformation’ board paused amid free speech questions” with the “the Disinformation Governance Board accepted the resignation of its leader” in the body of the text. “THE Political STORY of the Day” IS however the resignation of Nina Jankowicz. The AP is not neutral, though they would claim to be all night long...
For the record, some youtube regarding Nina J. lately our “Disinformation Czarina”.

Not a bad singer, remembers the words, tolerable stage presence. If ever convicted of anything, she will be a hit in the prison sponsored stage presentations.

I am terribly and irrevocably disappointed and discouraged that Nina will not be around to tell me how to think. Now what will I do?
Fascist. Outta therrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Now try her for treason
Plunt is as a Plunt does. Good riddance. Mayorkas should be next for that wonderful job of vetting. The buck stops with him.
She will, after she gets a think tank job, or another gov’t job, to feed on the Taxpayers’ Trough.
Well, that would be a win for our side.
These dumb @ss leftist are so blinded by ideology they cannot discern when they’ve jutted too far into leftist lala land.
>>Now that Twitter’s sale is most likely not happening, maybe she’ll be Twitter’s new Truth Czar.<<
The funny thing is if the acquisition doesn’t go through, Twitter will again see a huge exodus. lol
Upon the news of Elon’s purchase, a flood of folks signed back on to Twitter. Those same will leave, giving Twitter investors yet again a big slap on the pee pee for allowing these commies to run the show.
Either way this goes, entertaining to watch the left squirm.
She’s a Judge on AGT???
