    So now The Big Guy want a Government Censorship Board. A board that will monitor our free speech and engage on the public square of opinion. And of course the goal will be to have guys sit on the board.

    "
    President Joe Biden’s administration is expanding the US Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) purview to include fighting speech that the government deems to be “disinformation.”

    Plans for the new initiative were revealed on Wednesday, when DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas said in a congressional hearing that his department has created a “disinformation governance board.” The
    board will be headed by Nina Jankowicz, whose resume includes stints advising the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and overseeing the Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.

    “Cat’s out of the bag,” Jankowicz said in a Twitter post. “Here’s what I’ve been up to the past two months, and why I’ve been a bit quiet on here.”..

    And they have been planning this fascist move for months the "cat's out of the bag" is how the head of it cheerily proclaims. The President can just appoint someone to be the free speech monitor and speaker of the truth.

    "White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who was questioned about the Twitter deal by reporters on Monday, said Biden “has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms” and will urge Congress to take steps to help combat online misinformation. (RT)"

    How about you respect the Constitution and our rights and stay out of our private speech and do your proper jobs.

    People on BOTH sides should be outraged by this unprecedented move by the this administration.

    Just ridiculous. The government, regardless of the party, does nothing but spin, lie, exaggerate, blame etc. They have zero credibility when it comes to disinformation

    So the truth will be whatever the government bureau says it is then. Kinda like the system countries like China and Iran have now.

    Thanks Biden!

    There are just so many, many ways how modern democrats act like the Nazis of the 1900s. I’ll bet they’re proud of it, very proud.

    Dems are literally the masters of misinformation lol. They have convinced so many that white privilege is real, that men are women, that Russia gate happened, that blm riots are protests, there is a 1 in 5 rape rate in colllege, etc etc.

    This is dangerous, we have truly never been so close to actual fascism in our lives than under brandon

    I used to give Kiwis endless amounts of sh*t for having an official government position of "Chief Censor". I guess I'm going to have to be a little more humble about that going forward. :(

    I am sure that the timing of this is just a coincidence and has nothing at all to do with Elon Musk's liberation of Twitter. Is this New Ministry of Truth going to tackle some of these stories:

    The Russian Collusion Delusion
    Covid did not come from a Wuhan lab.
    Dr. Fauci funded Covid 19 gain of function research.
    The cover-up of Hunter Biden's laptop.
    The myth of the Putin price hike.

    Censorship <> Free Speech

    When will Americans wake up? Or are they just lemmings following Democrats over the cliff?

    This is very sad. I'd hoped I'd never live to see the day that such a blatantly Orwellian move could have attracted so little comment. It may turn out to, in retrospect, be the biggest story of 2022. At least while stories are allowed. There was a day when there would be bipartisan outrage at such a concept; no more.

    Consider your answer in the context of your flagrantly false , baseless accusations.

    The DHS? Seriously? The D-H-freaking-S is going to monitor free speech. The same department that has more fire power than the FBI is going to monitor our speech….

    If this doesn’t make alarms ring out for anyone who believes in free speech I don’t think anything will. What a joke

    I really hope this is challenged in court. Not sure where in our constitution permits the federal government to punish speech. If they don’t plan on punishing free speech then I ask why the DHS? No Fing way can this be acceptable.

    Hey DHS…. Just in case you’re monitoring this here’s a big F you (middle finger)

    It's something, but not the something you think it is.

    Just the idea used to be an anathema to a free society, and, as you correctly point out, it passes now nearly without comment or objection. Rather telling that.

    How Plato Predicted the Rise of Tyranny in Our Democracy

    What surprising is that it is the left, the liberals (in name only), progressives, Democrats who are urging this on.

    Normally that would have gotten someone fired for being so wrong but them it was all about disinformation to save Biden's arse and she was..............is quite good at it. Imagine if this "board" had been in place at the time with her at the head with the power of the government behind her. This we would found about about the ongoing scandal? Think the New Post would still be in business?

    In the past the ENTIRE PRESS CORP would be up in arms, now they are in cahoots with the Dems to get rid of their competition and control the discourse at the direction of the new Commissar of Information Jankowicz.
