    We already have a term for those people, and finally there will be a government board to report them to!

    Sounds like Biden is trying to be another John Adams with his version of the Alien and Sedition acts. It’s like living in a communist country. You know what will be labeled as misinformation, any statement that the board doesn’t agree with to include political discourse. Censorship 101. What is truth, democratic Party propaganda, what is misinformation, republican party propaganda.


    It's time for this country to start abiding by that old adage of free speech, “I may disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend your right to say it.”

    It should be apparent, based on the past few pages, that those days are long gone in the USA.

    And if it’s just to help social media identify misinformation? That’s my guess anyway. Yours is that we’re suddenly gonna be nazis I Assume?

    Yet to be seen.

    Question for you now.

    What's the point of creating a department that isn't actually going to do anything?

    Government is a monopoly that in and of itself represents a threat to liberty. That's an undeniable fact and has been observed and demonstrated through history.

    If Twitter made this announcement under new management, the installation of a disinformation department, the left would lose their mind. Hell, they lost their mind at the prospect of free speech.

    But when the government announces it, not a peep and defense. Lol. Do you realize how absolutley ridiculous that is?

    Anybody who doesn't agree with Biden and his policies is a target of the fascists promoting the Ministry of information. They called the parents who wanted a say in their kids education domestic terrorists. The women they want to run this agency is quoted as not believing in free speech.

    They never do. All governments lie especially when they want to start or escalate a war.

    On Wednesday, it was announced that the Department of Homeland Security would be launching a "Disinformation Governance Board," which will be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz.

    Jankowicz herself though has been revealed to have spread disinformation on a number of topics:

    Senator Demands Biden Scrap Creepy 'Disinformation' Unit; "Dissolve This Monstrosity Immediately"

    [​IMG]

    “It can only be assumed that the sole purpose of this... will be to marshal the power of the federal government to censor conservative and dissenting speech...”

    It's based on a grant of authority from Congress to the President. Ungrant it. That's the problem with the GOP. This grant of power was made by Congress in 1932. Republicans have controlled the House twice as often as Democrats have for the last 30 years, yet, never repealed this grant of authority to the President. It frustrating how much the GOP leaves undone and fails to do.

    President Trump was undergoing a Coup attempt through his entire presidency driven through the DOJ and the FBI and aided by the Intelligence Community and the GOP managed to not do anything effective to stop it. It's very frustrating. So while this guy is sounding the right notes, don't hold your breath waiting for effective action.
    "What has been compared to the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s 1984, Senator Josh Hawley wrote to DHS Secretary Mayorkas noting “I confess, I at first thought this announcement was satire.

    I thought the same.
    "The Administration that activated the FBI against parents at school board meetings now has created a government Disinformation Board to monitor all Americans’ speech. It’s a disgrace."

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he will "take action" against the new "Ministry of Truth."

    Tulsi Gabbard: "Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a “Ministry of Truth.” The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called “Disinformation Governance Board.”

    Biden puts in charge of this commission a person who promoted the fake Russian collusion scandal and then proclaimed the NY Post reporting on the CONFIRMED Hunger Biden laptop was fake and Trump campaign created. REALLY???????

    EVERY citizen should be against this government attempt to control the public discourse.

    It isn't the Constitution is supposed to protect the citizens from such government action.

    He did do something like this. He used the bully pulpit at every possibility opportunity to use the phrases “fake news” and “alternative facts”. He used his proxies to spread the Big Lie.

    His drones are still defending him and his lies. Amazing.

    It’s hard to believe a libertarian would trust government officials to tell the truth.

    And The Patriot Act was only authorized to use secret FISA courts for terrorism, so, lol on that. You are pretty naive to believe the government about anything. Our job as citizens is to distrust government. Talk to John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.They’ll tell you what’s up.
