It’s like we’re living in a satirical movie — Idiocracy comes to mind, but these people have real names. The new Chief of Thought Police in the US is Nina Jankowicz, who would fit right in singing on The Hunger Games. She thinks the Right deals in highly emotional rhetoric, but she’s the one who said women can’t use the Internet because it’s just too upsetting for them. She claims that anyone who uses the free-speech-versus-censorship line is speaking a false dichotomy.
Meanwhile Homeland Security Secretary, the man in charge of the government’s guns, Alejandro Mayorka, talked of identifying people who could be descending into violence… due to disinformation.
What’s disinformation? Whatever the Democrats say it is.
The good news is that if they weren’t losing every single public debate they wouldn’t need to set up a “Disinformation Governance Board”.
It’s one of those moments in history where everyone needs to tune in:
Or read it (at the link)
When Elon Musk first announced that he was buying Twitter, it was pretty obvious the Democratic Party would soon become unhinged, not just angry or annoyed in the way you’re very used to, but instead legitimately terrified and hysterical.
So today, to herald the coming of the new Soviet America, the administration announced its own Ministry of Truth. This will be called the Disinformation Governance Board. Laugh if you want, but just to show you, they’re not kidding around here. This board is not part of the State Department or any other agency focused on foreign threats from abroad. No, the Disinformation Governance Board is part of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS is a law enforcement agency designed to police the United States and that, by the way, has a famously large stockpile of ammunition. So, it’s not a joke at all. Here’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Oh, so one of America’s top law enforcement officers just announces to the Congress that actually we’re going to be policing what you say and everyone in the room kind of nods.
MAYORKAS: We have so many different efforts underway to equip local communities, to identify individuals who very well could be descending into violence by reason of ideologies, of hate, false narratives, or other disinformation and misinformation propagated on social media and other platforms.
Read it all, watch it all, spread the world while we still can.

It is shocking what Biden’s controllers are doing to America. No regime has caused more damage to America in so little time as Biden, not even Obama who is likely one of of Biden’s chief controllers.
As shocking as Biden’s comtrollers’ plans are, don’t forget that Australia’s pretend conservative federal government also wants to introduce such laws.
They are all playing from the same song book, likely orchestrated by Klaus Schwab among others.

Gary North:
My professor, Robert Nisbet, once commented that in the year of his birth, 1913, the only contact that most Americans had with the Federal government was the U.S. Post Office.
My father-in-law, R. J. Rushdoony, born three years later, once commented that 1913 was the last year of the golden age of America: after indoor plumbing but before the income tax. That was a long time ago.
Leonard E. Read, the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education in 1946, used to say that Americans live in a country in which various levels of government extract over 40% of their productivity, yet they call this system freedom. “They don’t know the difference between freedom and coercion.”
So, I do not pay much attention to national politics. Politics always reflects the understanding of the voters, and the voters cannot tell the difference between freedom and coercion. Worse: they are unwilling to surrender coercion for freedom.
It is not just America. Citizens all over the world are persuaded of the grand illusion of the 20th century, namely, that government coercion provides personal security: a safety net against hard times. They look at the government’s net and think “safety.” I look at the net and think “entrapment.” Voters say, “Don’t take away the net. We paid for it. We deserve it.” They do, indeed.

‘The Future of Our Republic Is at Stake’ – Missouri AG Schmitt Blisters Biden Administration Over ‘Disinformation Governance Board’
The Biden Administration’s recent announcement that it was establishing a “Disinformation Governance Board” (DGB) through the Department of Homeland Security has set off a bit of a firestorm. On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to a House committee that the board was being created, at least in part, to combat “disinformation” ahead of the mid-terms.
Immediately (and rightly), questions were raised as to the purpose and scope of this new “board” — and Nina Jankowicz, who’s been tapped to head it.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt directed a letter to Secretary Mayorkas on Friday, detailing concerns regarding the board’s creation and the potential for infringement on the First Amendment. Schmitt shared the letter via Twitter:
In his own letter, Schmitt raises several critical points:

Maybe Dear Leader [sic] Jabcinder Ardern is a “world leader” after all –
The derisive laughter was deafening last year, on social media and talkback shows, when her Government advertised on TradeMe for a Chief of Disinformation.
Within a day or so the advert had disappeared. Was thinking of applying for the position myself, but I’d have to move to Wellington and wear a suit, or a dress. Not sure if the role was ever filled, however the govt’s b.s. has only increased since then.

Tucker Carlson: Biden’s Attempt To Create A “Ministry Of Truth” Is Where We Have To Draw The Line
Joe Biden cannot continue to control this country if you have free access to information. It’s that simple. Biden certainly is not improving your life. He’s not even trying to improve your life. So, the best he can do is lie to you and demand that you believe it, but to do that, he needs to make certain that nobody else can talk because if you were to hear the truth, you might not obey. How is Biden going to pull that off? It’s not easy. Well, one option would be to get men with guns to tell you to shut up. Most Americans probably haven’t thought of that because this isn’t Africa or Eastern Europe. This is America and we don’t do things like that here and never have. More precisely, we haven’t until now, but now Joe Biden is president and everything is different.
So today, to herald the coming of the new Soviet America, the administration announced its own Ministry of Truth. This will be called the Disinformation Governance Board. Laugh if you want, but just to show you, they’re not kidding around here. This board is not part of the State Department or any other agency focused on foreign threats from abroad. No, the Disinformation Governance Board is part of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS is a law enforcement agency designed to police the United States and that, by the way, has a famously large stockpile of ammunition. So, it’s not a joke at all. Here’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
50
That means that Joe Biden’s partisan political enemies are now officially enemies of the state. How is this happening in America? Good question, but it is happening and Biden’s new thought-cop-in-chief has been revealed. She’s a 33-year-old, highly self-confident young woman called Nina Jankowicz.
Jankowicz comes from a place called the Wilson Center. That’s a nonprofit named for America’s other mentally incapacitated warmonger bigot president. Ironically, because everything is irony, the Wilson Center is itself a major producer of U.S. disinformation, but of the neocon variety, and for that reason is heavily funded by the Biden administration. Jankowicz is also, because everything is connected, a former adviser to the neoliberal government of Ukraine, the government we’re shipping tens of billions of tax dollars to as our own economy swirls down the drain. So, you really can’t make any of this up. It’s too grotesque. Would you believe a novel with this plot? No, you wouldn’t, but it’s happening and that’s the bad news.
The good news is everyone involved in Joe Biden’s new Ministry of Information is a buffoon. They may be evil, but they’re also ridiculous. Nina Jankowicz is the most ridiculous of all. So you read about her appointment in The Washington Post this morning and immediately thought of the NKVD because why wouldn’t you?
Yet even the NKVD, even at the height of Stalin’s purges, never did karaoke. They were too dignified for that, but Nina Jankowicz happily does. Here she is.

Everything requires governance, even disinformation.
Calling it the “Government Disinformation Board” might have been too obvious though.

But don’t be surprised the Australian ALPBC/GREENS don’t create a “Ministry of Truth MINORITY Report” if they win. We all know comrade Prime Minister Gillard wanted to create just that, remember…..stop writing crap ” Murdoch ” or else. The ALPBC/GREENS are absolutely communists in thought.

Twitter’s top censor donated $18,000 to Democrats before shutting down the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop revelations
This week, we’ve been introduced to a new breed of an old Stasi standby now in the United States: the intrusive political censor.
Once the province of crummy, furtive, little gray-faced men, as depicted in “The Lives of Others,” these modern day censors are now out and open as big social media stars, not even trying to hide their claims to being our political masters.
While Elon Musk, was decrying the censorship activities of Twitter’s top corporate attorney Vijaya Gadde, and the latter famously bawled about her company’s new owner, Joe Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was introducing us to think tank regular Nina Jankowicz who made a bizarre Disney-tune singing video on TikTok as his new “Disinformation Governance Board” chief.
Neither of these characters have a claim to impartiality in their zeal to censor others in the name of halting “disinformation.” Both are clearly Democrat party hacks and tools.
And is it just me, or do the smug, self-satisfied, expressions on the faces of these censors look remarkably alike?

This Scary Experiment Explains Two Years of COVID Hell
In case you were wondering why all views contrary to the Official Narrative have been canceled, it’s because of the Asch Conformity Experiment.
We have just gone through a nationwide, and actually a worldwide, Asch Conformity Experiment. As implied, the goal of the experiment was not to get to the truth. It was to get conformity. Only conformity is allowed.
Asch showed that people will actually believe things that they know to be false if they think everybody else believes those things. That is the point of the COVID nightmare experiment we just lived though. You must believe:
None of these makes sense. However, no dissent can be allowed because the Asch Conformity Experiment showed that if one person stands up to the narrative, it is easier for the second one to dissent. Then another and another stand up, and then control is lost.
That is why every dissenting voice must be silenced. If one person cries, “The Emperor has no clothes,” people will see the naked truth. And that can’t be allowed.
What is the Asch Experiment?
The Asch Experiment, conducted by Solomon Asch, found out that most people, when seeing a “consensus” of participants agreeing on something that is fairly obviously false, actually ends up agreeing with those false opinions just because everyone else seems to think so.
As Asch showed, if only one person stands up, the sheep aren’t sheep anymore.
50
There’s another descriptor for that phenomenon. The “Gell-Mann Amnesia effect” (Michael Crichton, MD) – encountering unreliable information in eg. media, in your area of expertise, and knowing by experience that this narrative is false. But, then just going along with it, because well, everyone else was doing it and I didn’t want to make a scene.
60
The political and bureaucratic systems are most definitely different between the US and Australia. Maybe in the US the politicians have that little bit more power over policies compared to Australia. Most of the time we people lay the blame at the politicians. But the slow creep of all these “progressive” policies into society seems mostly to be orchestrated by the bureaucrats. The LNP have been pretty useless in implementing any conservative type policies over the last decade or so. I assume that is because they might try, but run into endless public service roadblocks. Hence, they probably just give up. I’ve watched enough episodes of Yes Minister and Yes Prime minister to know that what was portrayed in those excellent series (comedy nonetheless) were almost real life. Sure it was the British political system, but our system is historically based on theirs. You’ve only got to see how the “precautionary principle” has been adopted in so many western country government policies worldwide. So, Australia will probably be getting a Ministry of Truth equivalent . Probably even some form of social credit/ digital currency. Or at least those “new” policies will be pushed up until there is a little pushback from the populace. But who knows, a lot of people might actually heartily accept a MOT. COVID revealed all the germaphobes, mask wearers who loved lockdowns. I couldn’t have predicted that 3 years ago.
70
For those who have not seen it Rob Sitch did a series called Utopia.

Also ” Hollowmen” by the same group. The Utopia guys could fill 3 series just based on COVID alone!!

Except they won’t because most of them are lefties who support lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations without question.
In the same way that most US ‘comedians’ can’t find anything funny about a dementia-ridden president who makes a gaffe every time he opens his mouth.

Should we be alarmed by Biden’s new Disinformation Governance Board?
Ever since Elon Musk announced his intentions to buy Twitter, the reaction from liberals has been nothing short of a meltdown.
The primary cause of the outrage was Musk’s pledge to defend free speech:
Musk recently added a caveat to his assertion about free speech, saying it has to be within the realm of the law.
On Wednesday, Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to Congress that a Disinformation Governance Board had recently been set up.
It was also announced that Nina Jankowicz will head the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board as executive director.
Jankowicz is a fellow at the Wilson Center, where she studied the “intersection of democracy and technology in Central and Eastern Europe.” She also wrote books such as How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict and How to Be a Woman Online.
Obviously, there is a pattern here that her recruiters in the Biden administration liked.
The suppression and dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop news story by the Biden campaign, the media, and Big Tech was one of the many ways the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
If that wasn’t enough, Jankowicz also promoted the mother of all disinformation: the Clinton campaign–created Trump-Russia dossier.
To summarize, her record is that she labels information as disinformation and vice versa.
There are only inferences to be drawn that Jankowicz is gullible or dishonest, or blatantly partisan, or perhaps a bit of all. These qualities should have disqualified her from being made head of a disinformation board.
The Biden administration no longer even cares to appear fair or moral.
Equally troubling is that Jankowicz seems to neither understand nor believe in freedom of expression as a right.

Biden ‘disinfo’ czar Nina Jankowicz ripped over cringeworthy Mary Poppins TikTok
The person tapped to head President Biden’s new Big Brother-like disinformation board drew fresh disdain Friday over her flippant attitude toward misinformation — and her own history of spreading it.
Nina Jankowicz’s ability to be taken seriously in her role on Homeland Security’s new Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” was thrown into question after a cringeworthy TikTok video resurfaced of her adapting the Mary Poppins tune “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news.
“Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious, by saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet, so disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious,” Jankowicz sang in the Feb. 2021 video.
“When Rudy Giuliani shared bad intel from Ukraine. Or when TikTok influencers say COVID can’t cause pain. They’re laundering disinfo and we really should take note. And not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote,” she continued.
The bizarre rendition was shared widely online as critics raised doubts of her ability to target real disinformation — and questioned how she even landed the job given her previous dubious claims about the veracity of The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

In a world gone mad, elites keep peddling untruths
It begins with the most basic building blocks of our world.
What is the first thing everybody knows about? I’d say it is probably whether they are a boy or a girl. What is the first thing everybody asks of new parents? “A boy or a girl?” But then we entered into the age of insanity.
Weirdo academics who would once have been confined to their studies at Berkeley (if not some other institution) decided boys and girls didn’t exist. They claimed that sex was in fact a “social construct” or a matter of “performance.” Before the age of social media that claim wouldn’t have leaked out of the confines of an asylum. But in the age of Twitter it got pumped out everywhere.
Many of the deranging claims of our era are far more important. It is only three years since the New York Times decided to publish a project which sought to reframe the founding date of America. No more 1776. Everything you were taught in school was wrong. From now on, the authors of the project claimed, the founding date of America should be seen to be 1619. The date the first slaves arrived in America. Because then all of American history could be seen through the sole, defining lens of slavery.
This is a deranging claim in itself. At the time that the first slaves arrived in America every civilization in the world still practiced slavery. There was nothing unique about America. But once the claims of activist non-historians like the 1619 project are spun through social media they enter a new realm entirely.
For history is all about context. And social media has no context because it has no history.

There’s a version of the Ministry of Truth already happening in Australia. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has been making satirical videos about politics and the upcoming election. They are very amusing. The sort of thing that once appeared on MSM or even, god forbid, the ABC. They are quite balanced. ScoMo, for instance, always appears in a Hawaiian shirt. Albanese speaks with a lisp etc. They have a pot shot at virtually all major party politicians and sometimes even themselves. Anyway. Their latest offering was about illegal voting in the Australian electoral system, featuring Albo and Wong. Again, quite amusing. Except not amusing for the Australian Electoral Commission ( AEC), who have issued a protest. It’s satire for goodness sake, it’s not supposed to be completely accurate. Cant have voter hesitation can we?

I agree with having a Disinformation Governance Board.
If only the conservatives of two generations ago had thought of that. The globo-homo elite would never have gotten a word out. And no kids would be getting chemically molested to ‘fix’ their body to suit their ‘identity’ – as carefully curated by his/her demented lefty parent/s. And shutting down cheap stable coal plants to heal mother gaia would have stayed the brain retarded joke that it is. Etc, etc.

Free speech is free speech and all of us know when someone is trying to stop us from having a share in being free to speak, even the morons trying to shut us up.
