The Department of Homeland Security is setting up a new board designed to counter misinformation related to homeland security, with a focus specifically on Russia and irregular migration. The board will be called the "Disinformation Governance Board, and will be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz.

Speaking with the House Appropriations DHS Subcommittee on Wednesday afternoon, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, "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. So we're bringing — the goal is to bring the resources of the department together to address this threat."

President Biden has decided the federal government will launch a Disinformation Governance Board under the authority of the Homeland Security Department

Jankowicz also oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. She announced the new Board via Twitter on Wednesday.

Jankowicz has previously said that she was concerned that Twitter had determined early in 2022 to stop limiting speech from users about the 2020 presidential election, saying that "considering the long-term damage these lies do to our democracy," she was "dismayed about this decision."

Her view about elections, whether foreign or domestic, are that they "aren't an end point," but are "an inflection point," and that the policies of social media companies as regards free speech "need to reflect that."

Jankowicz was an advisor to the government of Ukraine. She also stated her opinion that Hunter Biden's laptop, the contents of which were reported by the New York Post, was Russian disinformation. This was entirely false. Jankowicz will be leading the charge against misinformation, of which she believed the laptop actually was an example.

Jankowicz also does not appear to be a fan of free speech, saying that setting up free speech in opposition to censorship is "a false dichotomy."

George Soros openly discussing how he and his Open Society Foundation will subvert the rule of law and abuse the electoral process to his candidates into office is an antisemitic conspiracy theory, but Elon Musk is a menace to our democracy because he bought the progs' little internet sandbox.

I love clown world.

If I understand the narrative they want me to believe, it just makes me conclude that the Wuhan virus was unleashed from biolabs in China in order to interfere with the 2020 election and allow an unprecedented amount of vote fraud. Good luck with bringing in that whole New World Order that Brandon and Bush liked to talk so much about.

this genuinely feels like an act of desperation, the death throes of a dying empire, if you will. I don't think the American project has much time left.

The Blob knows that this is their last chance to act for a long, long time. Populism is on the rise, the DNC is about to get bodied in mid-terms (not that Republicans are innocent, but they're the better alternative right now), and people are waking up to the big con.

This is bad, but it's not going to save them.

How is this not an assault on free speech, as enshrined in the First Amendment.

Truth is what the government says it is, not actual truth, and context is what the government says is context, not their actual words and actions.

Now we have a department in one of the most opaque government agencies, empowered to be used against American citizens, that gets to decide what is true and what is not and whether or not you are allowed to say things?

Remember when the Left was mad because the FBI was phone tapping suspected terrorists after 9-11? Remember how they threw absolute fits over the Pentagon not allowing things to be reported? Remember how they accused the Bush JR admin of crushing free speech with the Patriot Act?

I can't wait to see the Left come out in force against this assault on Free Speech.

They also haven't thought about how this could be used against them once they lose power, like Harry Reid did with judicial confirmations.

Which I would have no problem doing, if R's regain power. Turnabout is fair play.
