Three Cheers for the Disbanding of the Disinformation Board

May 19, 2022 turned out to be a fortuitous day for freedom-loving Americans. On that day, the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board was disbanded. 

The DGB was originally designed to address the issues of alleged foreign misinformation and disinformation that the ruling class claims are threatening the US. 

However, it seems that patriotic Americans who rightfully saw this board as an Orwellian monstrosity were able to put enough pressure to ultimately kill it. 

Nina Jankowicz, who was supposed to be the head of this board,  went on MSNBC’s “All In” and declared that the DGB was disbanded due to disinformation. 

She said, “All these sensationalized narratives about what people thought the board was going to do was completely wrong. It was a coordinating mechanism. It was meant to make sure that the very large agency that is the Department of Homeland Security, that people were talking to each other within it. Let me give you an example, FEMA, the agency that handles disasters and environmental issues, would often encounter misinformation about natural disasters. Let’s say an adversary like Iran or China would put out a false narrative like this is how you get out of the city, or this is where you can find disaster aid. That could put people really into danger, their lives into danger. That’s the sort of disinformation and misinformation that we were looking to support the department in addressing, to make sure they had best practices, and most importantly, to protect Americans’ freedom of speech, civil liberties, and privacy while we are doing all that work. So, every characterization of the board that you heard up until now has been incorrect, and frankly, it’s kind of ironic that the board itself was taken over by disinformation when it was meant to fight it.”

Jankowicz added, “I’ve been a really nuanced, reasonable person, again, as I said, I briefed and advised both Republicans and Democrats. I admired some of steps even the Trump administration took to combat disinformation.”

She concluded, “To say that I am just a partisan actor wildly out of context.”

Now that’s a mouthful. 

If we’re being honest, the DGB’s disbanding perhaps has to do more with the fact that such an Orwellian project was incredibly unpopular and represented an act of desperation on the Biden regime’s part to kill free speech. 

After all, the Biden regime is dealing with rising inflation, growing crime, and a collapse at the Southern border. 

With all of that in mind, the Biden regime needed to create a distraction to divert attention away from its many policy failures, and more importantly, control and shut down any form of dissent that challenges the Biden regime’s agenda. 

The death of the DGB shows that when the forces of good put pressure on their elected officials, acts of tyranny can be rolled back.

However, the fight for liberty is far from over. In many respects, the establishment of the DGB was likely a trial run to gauge people’s temperature when it comes to certain forms of tyrannical action. 

Now that it has been compelled to roll back, the DGB may be rolled out by the Deep State in a more surreptitious manner. If there’s one thing that the DC Swamp should be given credit for, it’s its persistence. 

Americans who enjoy freedom should remain vigilant and watch out for future attempts to resurrect the DGB, albeit in a sneaky manner. It’s the tyrannical schemes that take place in the shadows that should worry us most.
