A new “disinformation office” has been quietly established by the Biden administration. This office will have the authority to arrest and prosecute citizens of the United States who publish content online that is deemed to be “false” by so-called fact checkers.
According to the announcement made by Director Avril Haines on Thursday, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has established a new office to oversee the efforts being made by the intelligence community to combat “disinformation” in the United States.
Haines made the announcement during a hearing with the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC) will be focused not only on “foreign malign influence” aimed at U.S. elections, but also on “public opinion within the United States.”
Haines declared, “Congress put into law that we should establish a foreign malign influence center in the intelligence community. We stood that up and it encompasses our election threat executive work essentially looking at foreign influence and interference in elections, and deals with disinformation more generally”.
SNIP
Haines said the FMIC would work with the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) to fulfill its mission, which the Twitter Files revealed works as a malicious censorship arm of the federal government.

We no longer can have opinions???
The deep state establishment intelligence apparatus needs to be dismantled. All but one intelligence agency should be defunded and shuttered.
Wow, that will give tremendous power to journalists.
“These people are just begging for civil war and if it happens, they won’t like the way it ends.”
It sure looks like they’re trying to get something started. Not a real wise move.
Agree with all. Yes, treason is punishable by death.
Smart TV’s are sold for a reason.
The downhill ride is getting faster.
Anything to get FJB elected in 2024.
America is devolving.
Sure, they can try to twist some other law to allow them to criminalize speech. They succeeded with convicting Douglas Mackey of “election interference” for posting a meme, after all. That will certainly get thrown out on appeal though. But I guess they could take a similar approach during election season to harass their political enemies and discourage anyone else from using social media effectively against them.
By the time the appeals get through (if people have the money to fight that long), the election will be over and they’ll have achieved what they needed. Of course, if everyone was aware of their 1st Amendment rights and just kept on saying what the left doesn’t want to hear, whether there are threats of arrest or not, then their scheme fails.
Hopefully there are enough media people that realize what a two way street this could turn into.
The government gangsters are going full Fascist.
This will be interesting.
This is 10,000,000% contrary to the First Amendment.
They’ll just charge you with “seditious conspiracy”
They introduce something in a silly way, pull it back, then reengage it later, in a deadly serious way.
It’s a psyop technique.
The last big thing they did was arrest a presidential candidate. But that was on silly ridiculous charges. Its pretty much gone now, so no worries.
Hopefully Americans wake up soon to the threat we face. It’s as serious as a heart attack.
I corrected the first clause of your sentence, and agree with the second.
Joe Biden is the best President America has had in its history!
I am now waiting , holding out my hands so they can easily be handcuffed.
BUahahahahahahaha!
Effing Idjots these fascosts are. We will give them their leave.
There is no such thing as ten million percent. Off to jail for YOU!
Ah, but there is something that is Ten Million Percent.
The interior of the sun is ten million percent hotter than a winter day in the Arctic.
Citing Algore is not the way to clear a felonious misinformation charge.
You've just increased your potential prison sentence by 10,000,000%.
