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.
Target??? She’s a willing moron........
Well, poor thing. She’s going to have to find someone else to F@@@ to be rich and famous.
Neener Jack-a-witch has resigned and the Dems have niw decided ti have a designated committee at DHS right a report on how to eliminate disinformation on the internet.
She was on maternity leave and the father of her chld is unknown. She leads a very secretive life,
I am so stealing that White Hospice line! Love it.
Don’t worry, they will just call themselves “independent fact-checkers” and continue on.
i just watched a short film on the struggle for freedom of speech in this country way back when- and the brits did exactly what the biden admin tried doing, suppressing the right to criticize and speak freely- a newspaper man decided to criticise the gov, and was jailed- a prominent lawyer was to defend him, but the gov suspended his right to practice- so he set off across state to get another lawyer, can’t remember hwo now- but he showed up just in time for the sham trial, and was able to inspire the 12 jurors to stand up for the right to free speech which was remarkable because they knew they woudl be harassed by the gov-
it happened in NY- can’t remember the details now- but i thought wow- the government now is acting just like the britts did- denying people their rights, and arresting them just for speaking out-
After all these years of having free speech- our government has become the very thing our forefathers had to fight against in order to gain our freedoms-
[[...the Biden administration somehow didn’t see opposition coming...]]
Weird that people woudl react negatively to having their freedoms trampled into the ground huh liberals?
Correct.
If you not attacking full force you are losing. Alinsky taught us that.
He also taught us to have fun while destroying your enemies.
They have the power.
We don’t.
We become Alinsky radicals or we lose.
The “polite” conservatives can take a seat in the stands and watch—and maybe learn something.
I’m betting my favorite Mary Poppins hat that this witch will be quietly given another job in the corrupt biden administration where she will be able to force her fascist world-view on the world.
Una bruja loca….
love it
“”Lasting three weeks despite receiving billions of threatening memes from Russia-backed Jack Posobiec and his followers has only galvanized my resolve to fight disinformation,” sang Jankowicz to the tune of South Pacific’s “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair.”
CNN’s Chris Wallace could not be reached for comment as he was busy with his new gig as a cultural correspondent for a local community college television station.”

You are correct. This is a war that the global left have declared, and if we don't fight back and make them retreat into the dustbin of history we will lose our way of life.
I was hoping for more disinformation.

Typical MO of the Obidens. She will return, quietly as will this “commission” but with cover, like Liz Cheney or that idiot Kinzinger by her side.
Yep, just like the scene from Caddie Shack, she'll surface again:
She lasted less time than Tony Scaramucci.
Remember him, the little turncoat with the big mouth!
