Disinformation Governance Board is the United States' self-destroying epitaph

America's Disinformation Governance Board . . .

 

. . . is so anti-constitutionally absurd that everyone involved in creating or supporting it should be metaphorically shot, guillotined or pummeled to death by the ghost of George Washington.

 

Even when deceptively explained — by one of the Deep State's most brown-nosing panderers, AP — the new Ministry of Truth threatens to be sheer evil:

 

 

A newly formed Disinformation Governance Board announced Wednesday will immediately begin focusing on misinformation aimed at migrants, a problem that has helped to fuel sudden surges at the U.S. southern border in recent years.

 

Human smugglers often spread misinformation around border policies to drum up business.

 

The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up an effort to counter disinformation coming from Russia as well as misleading information that human smugglers circulate to target migrants hoping to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

The new board also will monitor and prepare for Russian disinformation threats as this year’s midterm elections near and the Kremlin continues an aggressive disinformation campaign around the war in Ukraine.

 

Russia has repeatedly waged misinformation campaigns aimed at U.S. audiences to further divisions around election time and spread conspiracy theories around U.S. COVID-19 vaccines.

 

Most recently, Russian state media outlets, social media accounts and officials have used the internet to call photographs, reporting and videos of dead bodies and bombed buildings in Ukraine fake.

 

The board will be led by disinformation expert Nina Jankowicz, who has researched Russian misinformation tactics and online harassment.

 

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden, a Democrat, repeatedly said he would push tech companies, including Facebook, to crack down harder on misinformation and conspiracy theories that have overwhelmed social media and its users.

The moral? — The nihilistic imbecility of the Biden administration is exemplified . . .

 

. . . by its renewed assault on what it means, historically, to be a First Amendment-honoring American.

 

I suspect that super-patriot Thomas Paine would have responded this way:

 

 

I will not kill you over what you say.

 

But I will kill you over what you try to keep me from saying.

 

 

I was born within spitting distance of the European ashes of World War 2. I am not going to tolerate Gestapo Thought Police in the country that I immigrated to.

 

It is indicative of the Biden administration that it is supporting neo-Nazi-run Ukraine in a war against the same people who were predominantly responsible for crushing Nazism in that world war.

 

What does this tell you about today's US leaders and our nation's population of air-headed, easily manipulated sheep?

 

My father, who fought the Nazis, would be appalled.
