Letter by Alan N. Webber of Scottsdale
The Left has gotten too comfortable with Big Tech giants Facebook, Twitter and Google censoring differing thought and speech; labeling it fake news.
What should have been disturbing to any red-blooded American became business as usual.
Now they’re scrambling to replace Elon Musk’s new vision for Twitter. It’s vital for the Left to suppress the pesky facts brought up to counter their schemes to turn the country socialist.
In response, Biden’s handlers have instructed the president to direct the Department of Homeland Security to create a new department to control speech. The department is so startlingly un-American, it requires its own paragraph for introduction.
The new entity is called the Disinformation Governance Board; its purpose to throttle American’s right of free speech. It’s also being called the Ministry of Truth. I’m not making this up.
This will be an official government department answering to Homeland Security, a branch of government with lots of guns. The Founding Fathers must have collectively rolled over in the graves at this attempt by the government to control speech of Americans, an item so important they made it first priority in the Bill of Rights.
To make this notion even more absurd, they’ve given the job of overseeing the DGB to a woman known for her colossal propaganda spreading, Nina Jankowicz. This is an audacious appointment, one that will hopefully be thrown out when the program is disbanded come November.
Prior to her appointment, Jankowicz was a global fellow at the left-leaning Wilson Center, a Washington, D.C., “think tank.” She’s also an author, focused on Russia, the treatment of women online, and ironically, claims to be an “internationally recognized expert on disinformation.”
She’s also a fierce critic of any mention of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Jankowicz openly criticized the New York Post for its reporting of Hunter’s incident. Evidently suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, she stated the entire laptop story was a Trump campaign product, obviously more disinformation. She wrote op-eds on this subject regularly for other left-wing outlets such as NPR, CNN, PBS, the NY Times, and Washington Compost. Well, that dog doesn’t hunt anymore either, Nina.
Appointed to the DGB also were Rob Silvers, a recent Biden employee and Under Secretary at Homeland Security; and Jennifer Daskal, who worked for Obama. This is the group that will decide what constitutes disinformation? Wonder if they work as fact checkers for Facebook on the weekends, too?
If you think this through, fellow comrades, Biden’s handlers have created a Russian-like committee, with a Russian-like name, to censor certain people, and backed by a department controlling lots of guns. This is the only way Biden’s handlers have to hold control over the country. Putin must be smiling at our ignorance.
As Tucker Carlson pointed out on his program recently, DHS intends to identify individuals who could be descending into violence with their speech, as opposed to the thugs that are committing violence across this country. This is bizarre.
Anyone looking to do harm to this country is not so ignorant to announce their attentions on a social platform, folks.
If DHS was really worried about people harming this country, Mayorkas and his minions would be at the southern border controlling what terrorists and drug cartels might be flooding in to the country.
The Disinformation Governance Board is nothing more than a government program to stifle free speech, overseen by a hypocritical bureaucrat in bright red lipstick. The DGB needs to be shut down immediately before it grows like a fungus.
In retrospect, I guess Jancowicz is an expert on disinformation.
