DHS has created a Disinformation Governance Board to combat online disinformation. That should scare the ever living crap out of any American who has at a minimum, two working brain cells. It flies in the face of our 1st Amendment which sates in VERY clear language, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
A disinformation governance board directly violates our 1st Amendment as it is specifically designed to abridge the freedom of speech and the press.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that the agency he heads up had created a division that will be monitoring what people post online to seek out lies because, as he put it before a congressional hearing, “The goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this threat.”
Oh really, and what threat IS that exactly?
Well, Myorkas added that the department is focused on the spread of disinformation in minority communities ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Now what does THAT tell you, taking for granted that YOU have at a minimum, two working brain cells? It tells you that under liberal leadership, they don’t believe that minority communities, meaning black people, brown people, red, or yellow people, have the intelligence to discern for themselves what is, or is not the truth. Myorkas was making the liberal case that minority people, are just too butt stupid to know when they’re being lied to without the government TELLING them what is or isn’t true.
First of all, that’s insane, second of all, it’s Orwellian and third off…it’s just plain racist. But why focus on minority communities ahead of the 2022 midterm election? The answer to that is found squarely in the numbers. The party of liberal Marxists are bleeding minority voters. Black and Hispanic voters are moving from the left to the right at alarming numbers of you’re counting on their votes for liberals. Just a couple of years ago, 87% of black voters were voting liberal while nearly the same percentage of Hispanic Americans were doing likewise. Leading into the 2022 midterms, those numbers have dropped to 67% and 66% respectively.
The reason liberals are hemorrhaging minority votes isn’t because those minorities are being led astray by conservative voices on social media. How could they be when for years, Conservatives voices on social media have been roundly censored, shadow-banned or outright silenced by their removal from social media platforms? The reason is because those who are fleeing the liberal voting bloc have had enough of the lies being fed to them, crammed down their throats by what has now become the party hell-bent on burning the 1st Amendment to the ground.
To be clear, the shift did NOT start when Elon Musk bought Twitter. It started well before that but that doesn’t mean that Musk’s big purchase didn’t play into it, and I’ll get back to that shortly. For decades, liberals controlled the minority communities by telling them that Republicans and Conservatives were just a bunch of abject RACISTS and that ONLY liberal policies could help them but then, Donald Trump, a guy whom the liberal social and mainstream media deemed to be a systemic racist became President Trump and all of a sudden, things for the minority communities began to change for the better. Minorities in this country, under Trump’s America First policies saw record job growth, record income growth, record low unemployment and record setting highs in minority entrepreneurship.
But what of all those liberal policies that they had been voting for decades? What was happening in their geographic communities while Trump’s policies were raising all ships nationally? Race riots caused by liberal policies. The liberal mainstream media and social media went wall to wall telling anyone who would listen that the police were systemically racist and should be defunded, telling all who would listen that street thugs and criminals were really heroes, and that the riots were mostly peaceful. That’s what liberals on social and mainstream media were telling them and any voice that disagreed with the talking points was being cancelled, shut down, removed or blocked from social media and silenced.
Along with property crimes and violent crimes what else has been on the rise in minority communities? Minority on minority, black on black crimes and murders are rising to record high levels specifically because of liberal policies that release violent criminals back to the streets to escalate their criminal activities against decent, hard-working Americans.
What minority voters have been seeing with their own eyes simply fails to match up to what they hear from liberals on social or mainstream media and guess what…they now know that they have been lied to for decades.
Add to that the disaster at the border engineered by Myorkas and Joe Biden and suddenly you’ve got millions of illegal aliens taking good jobs for lower pay away from minority workers around the country and Hispanic voters, who were doing well under Trump’s border policies aren’t one bit happy. Couple that with Biden’s policies, which have resulted in massive inflation and all of the economic gains made by minorities under Trump’s policies have vanished under liberal policies.
I said I would get back to Musk buying Twitter and here is how that plays into the new DHS “truth squad.” Timing is everything in politics, and when liberals are in fear of losing control, they accelerate their agenda. No doubt the whole a Disinformation Governance Board was already on the drafting table, but when Elon Musk bought Twitter, liberals knew their days would be numbered in the realm of thought control. For years, liberals alone decided what would trend on Twitter, what would be allowed and what wouldn’t. They used Twitter just as they use the mainstream media to control the populous by telling them WHAT to think rather than allowing them to think for themselves.
The very thought of freedom of speech, of allowing people to share their idea and opinions and engage in discourse or argue their points out in the open terrifies liberals because they know that If they can’t CONTROL the conversation, they can’t win the argument. It’s just that simple.
Obviously, Musk isn’t the only factor in speeding up the roll-out of the DHS disinformation board. Mainstream media has been losing their audience and thus losing control over the masses for years and fewer and fewer people are buying their lies. Russian collusion, Hunter’s laptop, COVID, the riots, the border, the list of their lies from liberals just goes on and on.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and clearly, the DHS wasn’t to roll out their new censorship tool just yet. So far, it has no teeth. Nobody knows what happens to someone caught not parroting the liberal agenda lies and thinking for or expressing their own thoughts, but we do have precedent upon which to make an educated guess. Obama weaponized the IRS against Conservatives and when that got discovered, Lois Lerner had to destroy the hard drives to prevent those truths from seeing the light of day. Hillary destroyed her hard drives too, and more evidence, more truths were lost. Obama also weaponized the CIA and the FBI to spy on American citizens in an effort to destroy a duly elected President and in spite of their best efforts, Hunter’s laptop proved to be real and what they feared leading into the 2020 election is now coming true in time for the 2022 election.
Guess what else has accelerated the soviet style “Disinformation Governance Board?” Liberals know they’re about to lose control of congress after the 2022 midterm election, and one of their tools for spying on Americans is also about to run out of time. Given the current climate, and given what was done to President Trump and Carter Page via FISA warrants predicated on lies, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act put into place in 1978 is due to expire next year and a Conservative congress might just put an end it.
Section 702 is what gives intel agencies like the FBI permission to grab American’s data. And how much data from Americans has been grabbed lately? Well, according to a recent admission, during Biden’s first year in office, it could be up to 3.4 million warrantless searches of the American people’s electronic data, according to a report published Friday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Make no mistake, Obama is still running the show with Biden as his cognitively depleted puppet and once again, Obama intends to weaponize the DHS and their so called “Disinformation Governance Board” in order to shut Americans up, and shut them down if they dare to express any opinion other than the opinion officially backed by the liberal agenda and God forbid somebody gets the notion to tell the TRUTH in opposition to the liberal sanctioned lies…there’s no telling what fate might befall such a menace to democracy.
Of course there will be liberals who say I’m engaging in a wild conspiracy theory by putting out there that the new DHS board will be weaponized and we should be warned of the dire consequences of crossing the liberal line and speaking freely, but consider this – The main purpose of the board, according to Myorkas, is to clamp down on internet “disinformation” right? Well, what is that exactly? It’s a form of COMMUNICATION. That’s what free speech is – COMMUNICATION, and we already HAVE a federal department for that. It’s called the FCC – the Federal Communications Commission. You’ll notice that the new “Disinformation Governance Board” is NOT part of the FCC – It’s part of the DHS. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States. Everything else including the town square be that geographic or cyber falls under the purview of the 1st Amendment.
The Federal Communications Commission isn’t generally armed, but the DHS is, and the ONLY reason to make the new board part of the DHS is if you want people with weapons to become the enforcers FOR it. And what sort of enforcement might we expect if this anti-American, unconstitutional move to eliminate freedom of speech is allowed to stand? Well, under Obama’s puppet, we now have an Attorney General willing to investigate and prosecute parents for making public comments at school board meetings, so it’s anybody’s guess.
Just days after the announcement that the DHS was about to put an end to freedom of speech, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said “there’s no question” he could have more effectively communicated the purpose of his newly-created “disinformation” board. Mayorkas NOW claims that the board specifically addresses “disinformation that presents a security threat to the homeland.”
No, Mr. Myorkas, you didn’t skunk up the message, Americans are getting the message loud and clear.
Freedom of speech does not depend on whether it is accepted by any particular political party, and freedom of speech is THE bedrock upon which our nation was founded. Eliminating the freedom of speech is the threat to the homeland and any American with a minimum of two working brain cells KNOWS that.
Simply defunding this abhorrent board isn’t enough as they will simply divert funds from elsewhere in DHS to cover the costs. This thing needs to go before the Supreme Court at warp speed where we can surely expect a split decision in favor of freedom of speech.
Speaking freely, it’s high-time we slap these anti-American liberal Marxists and their “fundamental transformation of America” all the way back to 1791 with a rolled up copy of the Bill of Rights.
WAKE UP – This is America and you have every right to speak freely.
