20 best paragraphs from 20 articles on Biden's new Ministry of Truth -- "The Disinformation Governance Board"

 NOTE:
I present the best paragraph from 20 articles on the subject of the new Biden "Ministry of Truth".  The new "The Disinformation Governance Board" has not started their mission yet. So people can only speculate on what they will do. As a result, I don't know which author is "right". My decision was to present one paragraph from each article, with a link to that article. It will be the best paragraph in the article, or the best one that does not duplicate a paragraph from another article.
 
The Biden "Ministry of Truth" is yet another step toward American Fascism. Instead of private companies, such as Twitter and Facebook, censoring to eliminate criticism of the government narrative, it now appears the government will add their own effort.

Virtually every article on my three blogs would be censored by a government agency with the power to do so. These blogs are hosted by Blogspot.com, owned by Google, and Google could pull the plug on me any time they wanted to. Such as just after receiving a complaint by the new Biden "Ministry of Truth".

A Government Disinformation Board? You Don’t say!

"The Disinformation Governance Board, announced this week, is a mysterious creation with no known purpose or need and will be headed by a highly eccentric gal who has a weird history of denouncing as disinformation things that are true while insisting on things that are demonstrably false."

Biden's Ministry of Truth

"While the state putting an imprimatur on “truth” is dangerous to freedom, it is also laughable in practice. As a person passing judgment on truth, Jankowicz has shown to be completely inadequate for the job. From treating the Steele dossier (Russian misinformation, as it turns out) as fact (not to mention getting the basics about the story wrong) to repeatedly using her position as disinformation “expert” to dismiss the Hunter Biden story as a “Kremlin” concoction, she is no better, it seems, than the average leftist partisan on CNN."

Biden's New Ministry of Truth Czarina Is a Lunatic

"The very idea of the Disinformation Governance Board is bad enough, but the fact that Biden’s handlers would put a convinced and enthusiastic fascist such as Nina Jankowicz in charge of it is even worse. Nina Jankowicz has been preparing for this moment for practically her entire professional life, and this is her chance to shine on the biggest stage of all. Her own website is labeled “Nina Jankowicz, Disinformation Expert.” Her bio at that website begins: “Nina Jankowicz is an internationally-recognized expert on disinformation.” This is her entire professional identity. There is no doubt that she is going to undertake her new duties with gusto. And that’s just one more problem with this new Disinformation Governance Board, on top of all the others."

Biden’s Ministry of Truth

"Aside from suggesting that the first place to begin combatting misinformation would be with the Biden administration itself (for example, the claims that Joe had no knowledge of Hunter’s business ventures, inflation is transitory and caused by Putin, the border swarm is “seasonal,” the Afghanistan exit was a “success,” etc.), it is time to call out this government-run attack on free speech exactly for what it is: out-and-out fascism."

Biden’s Ministry of Truth will spy on American citizens

“They're as far left as Lenin,” said political commentator Dan Bongino. “Do liberals not grasp how totalitarian this is?” Once the door is open, we can kiss free speech goodbye. If we can’t acknowledge that there are two sides to every story, the U.S. is well on the way to becoming a totalitarian state. It starts with accusations of spreading disinformation and ends with a call for purging conservatives and sending their children to indoctrination camps. “If liberty means anything at all,” said George Orwell, “it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

Biden’s New Disinfo Chief Had a Problem With Executive Control of ‘Truth’ When Trump Was in Charge


"But perhaps the most eye-opening video of them all came from May of 2020, when jankowicz argued that the executive branch — then occupied by former President Donald Trump — should not have the power to determine what information was true and what was not. May, 2020. Nina Jankowicz was horrified at the idea of the Executive Branch (Trump) having any say in what is true or false."

Do We Draw the Line at a US Ministry of Truth?

"It has become quite clear that the Intelligence Deep State dictating U.S. policy is convinced that the Chinese communist model is ideal.  The officers of the federal government have sworn oaths to defend the First Amendment but instead treat free thought and free expression as threats to their power.  They do not respect dissent.  They do not protect (as is their duty) unsanctioned political protest.  They actively work with private companies to censor speech and opinion.  They actively work with tech monopolies to manipulate public opinion and propagate blatant lies.  They actively spy on the American people.  They harass and intimidate those who have the courage of their convictions.  They criminalize the constitutional rights of citizens and commit crimes under the color of their constitutional authorities."

Governor DeSantis Promises to Fight Joe Biden’s Ministry Of Truth: “They Want To Stifle Dissent”

“They now have an idea – and I honestly thought this was a belated April Fool’s joke – but they are actually going to create in the Department of Homeland Security a Bureau of Disinformation. It’s basically a Ministry of Truth,” DeSantis said . “And what they want to do is, they want to be able to put out false narratives."

Here's Your Disinformation: Now Psaki Is Claiming That TRUMP Started Biden’s Thought Police Board


"Is this some of that disinformation the Biden administration is talking about? Jen Psaki on Friday twice claimed that the Biden administration’s Orwellian and ominous new Disinformation Governance Board isn’t really new at all, and in fact, was started not by Old Joe or his DHS hatchet man, Alejandro Mayorkas, but by one Donald J. Trump. Psaki delivered this whopper with a clear tone of What are all you racist, redneck, MAGA-hat wearing yahoos getting all upset about? This was all your guy’s idea. She offered no evidence, and there doesn’t seem to be any for her to have offered."

Here’s Everything the Media Won’t Tell You About Nina Jankowicz, Biden’s New Minister of Truth

"So, who exactly is Nina Jankowicz? Certainly, not a person with any concerns about preserving freedom of speech or expression. A quick look at her Twitter history is enough to dispel that. When Facebook permanently banned Donald Trump from its service, Nina was in the wings complaining that this punishment was not harsh enough. Through a metaphor, Nina explained that only mass bans on hundreds or thousands of accounts would be enough to “fix” the disinformation “problem.”

Newly Discovered Tweets Reveal Biden's Singing Disinformation Czar Nina Jankowicz Has Been Wrong about Nearly Every Single Issue in Past 5 Years

"And now there are even more tweets from the singing leftist who apparently is wrong about most every major issue. Nina was pushing the completely fraudulent Steele dossier. Jancowicz consistently pushed the garbage Trump-Russia hoax. Jankowicz claimed Trump would embolden ISIS — a group he obliterated. And here she is pushing the Trump-Russia lie. What a perfect fit for the Democrats as their new speech czar!
The truth means nothing to these communists."

Spin: Mayorkas's oily assurances about his Disinformation Governance Board fall flat

"The government not only orders the censorship of Americans all the time, as happened in the Obama era, it also spies on Americans. Think of how the Obama administration spied on investigative reporters Sharyl Atkins, or James Rosen. Think of how the Associated Press's emails were monitored. Think of how Carter Page and George Stefanopoulos were spied on by Deep State. Think of the profligate "unmaskings" of Trump campaign officials. Think of how the Obama administration spied on Trump Tower and even Trump himself while he was at the presidential office. Anyone punished for those transgressions? They can't even punish the dishonest FBI official who altered documents to obtain a subpoena. Does anyone seriously think they won't keep the spying on Americans in the name of 'disinformation' going strong?"

The Disinformation Board, PolitiFact, and the End of Free Speech


"Which brings me to a topic I wrote about back in December of 2019: the use of the nationally prominent “truth” agency, PolitiFact to essentially decide for us what is real and true, and what is not. And my belief that it is semi-official organizations like PolitiFact which now assist the media in their increasing efforts to inform us how and what to think and what to write and say. In so many words, PolitiFact is a necessary ingredient in the chain of this rising authoritarianism, now capped by the federal Disinformation Governance Board. And there is no reprieve once you’ve been essentially denounced as a “liar” or “fake news,” or perhaps as an agent of that so-dreaded “Russian disinformation.”

The last people anyone should trust to tell or determine the truth are journalists and government officials

"The fifty former intelligence officials who signed the document claiming, without evidence, that the laptop was Russian disinformation have not been silenced. They are still used as sources for the media when they need someone to support the leftist agenda and many retain their security clearances."

The Ministry of Truth Is Where the Rubber Meets the Road


"The Biden regime and the Deep State are the same cabal that has put the January 6 freedom fighters in jail without official charges filed against them or bail being afforded to them.  As Biden does this, Xi Jinping smiles, and Stalin nods in approval.  When a group of evil people who are in charge of government put American citizens in gulags, which violates the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, then that same government will certainly criminalize speech that has not been approved by government.  This is not a slippery slope; this is a suicidal cliff from the beginning."

Biden's Disinformation Commies Have a DeSantis Problem

"But the latest actions of the DHS and Biden administration in the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board is an even more frightening step towards the fascism of the Nazis a century ago. It is almost identical in purpose and presentation to Joseph Goebbels’ Nazi Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, which Goebbels originally wanted to call “The Ministry of Culture and Public Enlightenment”. Its purpose in the Nazi regime was to ensure that all media and education were controlled by the Nazi state, and it had the full support of the Nazi government to enforce its control."

When Mayorkas Tells Us Not to Worry About That Disinformation Board—Start Worrying


"Aren’t these the same folks who went along with a phony story about their own DHS border patrol agents whipping illegal aliens while on horseback? Why, yes, they are. There was such a furor over the false story, Mayorkas — who had initially stood with his people — said there would be a formal investigation, despite the fact the agents had done no such thing and that was evident on the video and from the photographer who took the pictures. Joe Biden and other Democrats lied about the agents. How did the DHS do with that disinformation? They never said it was a lie, and while they cleared them of any criminal wrongdoing, they’re still being investigated internally. That’s ridiculous. But these are the folks who want to tell us what disinformation is? They are masters of it."

Who else should serve on the Government Disinformation Board?


"The Department of Homeland Security has decided to create a “Disinformation Governance Board,” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in congressional hearings held last week. Though Mayorkas attempted to link it to efforts to combat misinformation from human smugglers and to counter Russian cyber and election misinformation, no one really knows the extent of the board’s mission. Mayorkas said, “We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat, not only to election security but to our homeland security.”

"Couldn’t Twitter just declare something is a lie or at least deem it false, and counter with proof? No, because that is not what the new censors mean. What they are doing is squelching opinions that disagree with leftist positions. By doing so, they don’t have to answer any questions or deflect any pushback—just declare it disinformation and move on. If they called it a lie, then people would be able to produce proof of its veracity."

Nina Jankowicz, 2020: Government Should Not Be in 'Business' of Policing 'Disinformation'


"Nina Jankowicz, the newly-appointed head of the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, told Congress in October 2020 that she saw no role for the federal government in policing disinformation online. “I do not think government should be in that business,” she said during testimony before the House Intelligence Committee."

Tulsi Gabbard suggests Obama behind 'Ministry of Truth' while Biden is 'front man'

"Gabbard has slammed the Biden administration's Disinformation Governance Board repeatedly since it was announced. "Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a 'Ministry of Truth.' The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called 'Disinformation Governance Board,'" she tweeted on Friday."
