DHS Picks Controversial Head of New 'Misinformation' Board

[JohnyMac]

My assumption to this new direction is to counter Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. In essence, the government will have less control over information so they are creating a new bureaucracy position, Ministry of Truth to control the posting of facts. Welcome to the U.S.S.R.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told a House Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday that the department is creating a new board designed to counter "misinformation" related to domestic security, The Post Millennial reported.

The Disinformation Governance Board will be headed by Wilson Center fellow Nina Jankowicz and focus primarily on Russia and illegal immigration, according to the outlet.

"Our undersecretary for policy, Rob Silvers is co-chair with our principal deputy general counsel, Jennifer Gaskell, in leading a just recently constituted misinformation-disinformation governance board," said Mayorkas during the Wednesday hearing. - NEWS MAX

"It ain't brag'n if'n you can do it"

This is truly worrisome.
One more "proof" that those in charge have no interest in legal/moral governance and worse yet... have no fear of being open about it.  In fact, I see them reveling in rubbing our noses in our current impotency.  No fear of being checked coming from these criminals that I can see.

And it isn't going to take much longer before we find out if their hubris is justified or not.

Isn't it interesting how many of our Presidential EO's and mandates have been taken to district and Supreme courts since January 20th, 2021? Add to that statement, how many times the EO and or mandate has been nixed by the above courts?

PPOTUS (Poopy Pants of the United States) and his puppeteers, completely ignore the Bill of Rights. That dang pesky Constitution keeps coming in to prevent an authoritarian state. An authoritarian state ruled by a dictator.

I predict, that as the months warm up and we come closer to the mid-terms, our old friends ANTIFA and BLM Inc. (BurnLootMurder Inc) will raise their ugly heads. The DEM's are becoming desperate.

Stay tuned,

Cornered animals fight the hardest.
Cornered Leftists don't have an abundance of self-awareness though.
Perhaps in their extremis that Leftists will overreach, and even more Americans will wake to see who and what the monsters really are.

I don't have much faith in my fellow man's wisdom or intelligence. The people have been fed Sh%t sandwiches and told that it was peanut butter for so long that they actually believe it. There are a few of us out here watching the show and wondering how people can be so stupid.  I can see the coming Train Wreck and I have the brains to get off and away from the train tracks but my fellow man will stand right in the middle of the tracks so they can get a better picture of it on their damn cell phone. The coming crash might take any form but it won't make much difference because a crash is a crash no matter how you look at it. It could be a total economic meltdown, a corruption of our government that takes us into Communism, a Military takeover of the government. Hell, Yellowstone could erupt or a large meteor could hit the Earth. One thing is for sure. We're in for a wild and painful ride within the next year or two. When I need to, I can be a real asshole. When the Government says, "Get in line" and the people start to line up, I'll just stand where I'm at and when they yell at me to get in line, my response will be, "I am in line. Its all those other dumbasses that are in the wrong line".

The coming crash (in whatever form and severity) will be a mixed bag for me.   Measures of pain, measures of pleasure.
Pain (and frustration) for having to suffer loss and deprivation when it was all so unnecessary.
Pleasure in a "told you so" way that I'm not proud of but will admit to.
And pleasure in the knowing that while many innocents will be punished (even unfairly), the guilty will be administered their healthy does of justice too.   Not the justice of a courtroom.   Nope, that of consequence where madness and evil held the steering wheel and arrived at their destination.
 But best of all, even if getting dead in the process of it happening, knowing the mechanisms of value that will see rebirth have been put into gear.
Our to-the-death enemies think their "Great Reset" will go according to their own designs?
Let the games begin.
No plan survives first contact with the enemy.   So.   When it comes _our_ turn to throw the punch...

This is the scariest policy of Biden so far.

And this is TRULY frightening.

They choose to believe it because they live in denial and the alternative is NOT pretty
