Good God! This damn communist insurgent administration went from “All your children belong to the government-run public schools and teachers union” to “All your truth and information belong to us”. By the way, it needs to be said out loud: Joe Biden is NOT thinking up this Soviet bullshit and making the decision(s) to implement said bullshit. NONE OF IT. It is ALL being done by the termites that rode in on this rotted wooden Trojan horse.
“He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.” – Benjamin Franklin
On November 25, 2002, on the heels of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was formed under the George W. Bush administration. Much of the nation was still reeling from the horrific attacks and felt a sense of security that after the establishment CIA and the DOJ failure to ‘connect the dots’ leading up to the 9/11 attacks there would be an organized effort to do so by a department that would be designed to do just that in order to avoid any future attacks. I was one of those foolishly believing a DHS would be above the politics of D.C.. However, there were many others, left and right, who warned the department would eventually be weaponized … and not necessarily just against terrorists but against the American people. And here we are. Let me offer you my deepest apology for my mistaken trust. Since its inception the DHS has gone far outside its allotted legal rights and has been spying on Americans under the guise of ‘domestic terrorism’, deliberately and politically cherry-picked those American groups/people as to which are and aren’t “terrorists”— BLM/antifa = NO. Parents of school children = YES. And this administration and the demo-commies are riding that dead lame mule of “January 6 was an insurrection!” to wrongly justify everything they have done, are doing and will do against the citizens of this country— oh, well, if you’re not aligned with them on politics and narrative(s).
This is the Biden administration’s Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, a federal agency created after the terror attacks of 9/11/2001 in order to secure our nation against terrorists and terror attacks. That includes the security of our border, which is also part of his duties. Yesterday, in a House hearing Sec. Mayorkas was asked by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jim Jordan about the whereabouts of the 42 terrorists on the terror watch-list that were arrested while illegally crossing into the U.S. at the wide-open southwest border…
Jordan: Have any of the 42 illegal migrants on the terrorist watchlist or no-fly list encountered on our southwest border been released into the United States.
Mayorkas: Ranking member Jordan, as I mentioned before, I will provide that data to you with respect to the disposition of each one, I do not know the answer to your question.
Jordan: The Secretary of Homeland Security does not know the answer to the status of 42 individuals who came to our southern border illegally, are on the no-fy list, and the terrorist watchlist. You do not know whether they have been released or not into the country? That’s your testimony?
(Emphasis mine)
He doesn’t know the answer of that question?? DOESN’T KNOW!!!??
He knew he would be asked stark and serious questions about the border mess, and the coming bigger mess once Title 42 is pitched by the Biden cabal, and Mayorkas did not even attempt to either shuffle through any prepared pages for an answer … or simply inform Rep. Jordan and the committee that it was a ‘security’ issue and would have to be answered behind closed doors? Or maybe he did not want to tell the committee and the American people that these 42 terror watch list/no-fly-list illegal aliens (oh, and some 22 illegal alien sexual criminals) that they were either released into our country with ankle bracelets or, good-gawd, cell phones to “track” them? Or maybe Mayorkas operates within the responsibilities as head of DHS under a ‘need-to-know’ position so that he can tell Congress when they hold him accountable to those responsibilities that “I don’t know” without, you know, actually willfully lying. Who knows, maybe he’ll take looking like an shoulder-shrugging incompetent idiot than a cover-up accomplice.
But hey, DHS Sec. Mayorkas does have priorities, doncha know. He and the DHS have officially gone full-Orwellian and have announced Da, all you information and ‘truth’ belong to us, comrades! … The “Disinformation Governance Board”. Yeah, still sounds as bad as the ‘comrade’ missive and Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth”. But Orwell’s sounds too ‘religious’. This is more of a neo-Soviet cult. Be very afraid and pissed-off, America …

Hmmmm… Pay close attention to the remarks within this video conversation about this being the ‘shiny object’ that will be used by the MSM to distract from the tidal wave of illegal aliens that will roll across our border after Title 42 is trashed, and as the months tick down to the November midterm elections…

So, how soon before the filthy Marxist bastards go from Orwell to “Minority Report” and start arresting and imprisoning Americans, not for committing crimes but the government’s assuming and perceiving “pre-crime” notion that they might? Oh, wait. Sorry J6 folks rotting in jail without hearings and/or trials for over a year … which is also un-Constitutional.
Richard Fernandez: A Society Convinced It Needs Seeing Eye Dogs
One of the downsides to censorship — even the well-meaning kind — is that it throttles the “reality signal.” The world, as experienced directly, expresses itself in a bewildering fashion, containing both signal and noise and often incomplete information about what we are trying to observe. The viewer is frequently unsure of what he is witnessing and puts forward a series of hypotheses to explain and predict what transpires. And often he is wrong.
Doubtless, it would be more convenient for some if reality could be filtered before it was perceived. That way the recipients of the signal would never be confused. Everyone would get the same official message. No one would feel upset or confused unless it was intended that they should be. In an age where populations “see” the world through social media, the appeal of pre-processing the view to governments and social engineers can be readily understood. It allows them to lead the multitudes where they should go.
But mediated views as an agency of information have drawbacks, the most important of which are information reduction, narrative artifacts, and pixelization. Information can be interpreted as quantifying the level of “surprise” of a particular outcome, a notion that is captured in the popular saying, “tell me something I don’t know.” Censorship is predictable; it tells us what we should know by stripping away unvetted or “unreliable” reports and always contains less raw information than the unfiltered capture. There is less surprise but also less information…
Read the whole thing.

…Homeland Security already has a public relations staff that answers questions as well as dozens of offices that release public information. Yet, Secretary Mayorkas wants an actual Disinformation Governance Board to put an imprimatur on what is truth and what is false.

…On final note, it may be impossible to come up with a more Orwellian title other than the Ministry of Truth. Whoever decided to combine Disinformation with Governance wins the 2022 Doublespeak award.

The weekend is here and I want to continue to focus on this hideous DHS “Disinformation Governance Board.” A totalitarian Ministry of Truth by any other name would still stink to high heaven. Can someone please remind me again what country this is, or more accurately what country this is supposed to be? Considering everything we have lived through going back into the Obama eight-year reign of error and perhaps as far back as 9/11 – the cultural and political (and the cultural is political) dissolution and degradation of our society – you become almost numb to the ice pick rammed in your eye after an almost constant pounding with brass knuckles and tire irons. Almost…
Yes. Yes, I am indeed going to say it, “Imagine if Trump or any republican administration was doing this”.
