New in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden’s handlers haven’t been able to give us a clear answer about what the Department of Homeland Security’s ominous new Disinformation Governance Board is actually going to do. But now its censorship power-drunk chief, Nina Jankowicz, has provided a detailed description of an authority she wants to have in order to fight this alleged disinformation, and it’s downright chilling.
So far, the powers behind the Disinformation Board haven’t been able to get their stories straight about exactly what “disinformation” the Board would supposedly combat. When Politico first revealed the existence of the Board, it said it would be “countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.” Then DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas went further, saying it would “combat this threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security.” Jen Psaki then suggested that it would be dealing with supposed disinformation about “COVID for example, and also elections and eligibility.” Under fire over this brazen assault on the First Amendment, Mayorkas claimed that the Board would not be dealing with the statements of American citizens at all.
Jankowicz, however, appears to have different ideas. In a video that surfaced Tuesday, Jankowicz is speaking to a panel of nine people; seven are visible, and two have their cameras turned off. The disinformation czarina spoke of how Leftists must start to micromanage Twitter in order to combat the speech of those whom they hate.
The available video begins with Jankowicz dropping a bomb about Twitter verification: “Um, and I am eligible for it because I’m verified, but there are a lot of people who shouldn’t be verified who aren’t, you know, legit, in my opinion, I mean, they are real people but they’re not, um, trustworthy.” Now, Twitter verification began simply as a way for prominent people to be distinguished from impersonators. The Leftists who have been running Twitter muddied the waters somewhat when they began taking away some people’s verification badges (the famous blue checkmark) or denying it to some highly popular accounts for the crime of dissenting from the Left’s line. But now Jankowicz wants to take the idea of the blue checkmark as some badge of honor to a new level, denying it to those whom she considers to be not trustworthy. Why we should trust her judgment in this is left unexplained.
Jankowicz continued, “Anyway, so verified people can, um, essentially start to edit Twitter, the, the same sort of way that Wikipedia is, so they can add context to certain tweets….”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Don McKellar says
As it says later in the article on PJ Media, “It’s unclear when this panel discussion was filmed.”
As recently as this week, I was on Twitter and noticed that the blocking of tweets in response threads by those deemed undesirables or something were back. The infamous “this tweet may contain offensive content” and whanot. And any time I would click it, the tweet was completely benign and factual. Clearly only an attempt to control the conversation on Twitter.
So you have to wonder if this discussion was captured even very recently. And you have to wonder how many people Musk will have to fire to clean up Twitter and make it free speech as he envisions and not manipulated by left-fascists. If the corrupted FTC doesn’t suddenly make some bogus ruling and block him outright.

Walter Sieruk says
The new government propaganda institution recently installed by the Biden regime is as insidiously disturbing as it’s also sinister.
This politically correct pro- socialist Islam promoting propaganda machine to a hideous step towards government fed limited information and false information for gradual, attempted, mind control of America’s citizens.
Deceptively and ironically called “The Disinformation Governance Board” This of tyranny mind control danger was foreseen by the novelist George Orwell in his book entitled “1983” in the story “Ministry of Truth ” which was set up by a tyrannical regime.
Walter Sieruk says
The Biden regime’s “Ministry of Truth” Chief is not only silly but nonsensical. It figure’s
This is because everyone creepy old Joe picks is the other branch of his administration is nonsensical if not also subversively un-American.
Therefore, it should be of no surprise that Biden would choose “a lunatic” For this newly created politically correct leftist propaganda institution.
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding The Biden’s Thought Police, chief Nina Jankowicz,
She might actually securely feel with with her D.G.B.that she is really doing “the right thing” and is “doing good.”,” She certainly believes that what she is doing is protecting the freedom of speech by getting rid of all the “disinformation” and “hate” that is blocking the way of the truth and giving the truth a clear path.
This politically correct delusion and the actions that she now involved in because of this PC delusion only further proves valid the old , sad tragic reality of the truth of the proverb that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Walter Sieruk says
On the subject of the founding of this new Biden regime propaganda machine with the far -leftist Nina Jankowicz as its head is that “ministry of truth” type institute is one of the many terrible results of the massive election rigged election fraud 2020 November national “election.”
So two things need to be made clear.
First, this is the very first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no President.
Instead this country has only a criminally installed figurehead.
Second, one of the many tragic fruits of this is the radical leftist Nina Jankowicz who is the head of the Biden regime’s new created “Disinformation Governance Board” which in reality is more the Orwellian totalitarian state “Ministry of truth” in the George Orwell classic novel “1984.”
The point being the sinister impostor “president” , Biden , with one of his top politically correct propagandist ,Jankowicz , ready and willing to disseminate lies under the disingenuous pretense of “truth speaking” . Even to the point of, by gradualism, use governmental power to silence those who actually speak and publish genuine truth is unconstitutional tyrannical, despicable and outright wrong.
This is leading to a freedom catastrophe and the American people should not let that affront to liberty occur. As George Washington has, very wisely, declared “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.”
Walter Sieruk says
The chief of this Biden D.G.B. will be headed by leftist/politically correct self-confident young woman called Nina Jankowicz as the leader of this “Thought police” unit.
She is as ridiculous as she is also terrible.
Walter Sieruk says
This newly created monstrously of an institution of the Biden regime which has the title of “Disinformation Governance Board.” is obviously nothing but a politically correct leftist propaganda machine.
As of the kind found in the George Orwell Novel “1984” in which that tyrannical oppressing regime had it lying “Ministry of Truth.”
This Biden D.G.B. government organization can and may, rightly, be viewed as a terrible omen of the insidious leftist/Marxist, Red -Green Alliance movement of political gradualism. In which slowly more and more PC thought control by the D.G.B. and other branches of Marxist/Islamic infiltrated branches will act to further chip away it the freedom of speech and then even freedom of thought granted by the American citizen’s by the US Constitution.

Observing Nina Jankowicz on video is enough make a person wonder to the point of asking ” Is she just absurd or is she absurdly dangerous ? “

mortimer says
‘Government-approved’ information is the same as ‘censored’ information.
What is it that the Bribed-man’s government doesn’t want us to know?
Jankowicz mocked the laptop from hell, but it authentically belonged to Hunter.
What else do you need to know that Jankowicz doesn’t want you to know?
She is no less than a fox in the henhouse.
mortimer says
What Jankowicz is up to is GLEICHSCHALTUNG.
The ‘phasing in’ of political correctness and ‘switching off’ of dissident thought is the meaning of the Nazi term of GLEICHSCHALTUNG.
Jankowicz is engaged in a new AMERICAN GLEICHSCHALTUNG !
GLEICHSCHALTUNG is exactly what Facebook, Amazon, Goolgle, Twitter, YouTube and their allies have been doing.
GLEICHSCHALTUNG is a core principle of FASCISM. This is a takeover of speech and prohibition of dissent from the state ideology.
Gleichschaltung is the forcible, ideological synchronization of all political, social and governmental organizations towards a single political line. It was quickly imposed during the 20 months following 30 January 1933, when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.
The term Gleichschaltung was created by and for Hitler’s National Socialists and historically has its chief significance in relation to Germany in the 1930s.
The Nazis imposed SYSTEMIC “Gleichschaltung” in the field of culture and the media in order to consolidate public opinion in support of their sole political control over all public and private associations in Germany. No one could get work, gain licenses or be promoted if they did not submit to “Gleichschaltung”.
All pluralism in the public and private life of Germany was eliminated by Gleichschaltung in favor of Hitler’s universal dictatorship. A similar process is being implemented by the Big Tech companies (Amazon, Google, Twitter, etc.) in the United States since about 2016.

The chief of the FCC, says this “board” is unconstitutional. Which the normal person knows…even those who are going to be attempting to silence the Truth know that it is; they just don’t care that it is **illegal.***
warren, i.elmi, alias i. omar and r tlaib have all said they are good with protestors going to the homes of the Justices and harassing them in order to intimidate them and get them to change their minds on the ruling that is in the draft of the decision…that might remain final.
i. elmi had to ask exactly what the law is that says it is illegal, and then said the Court had already decided that the protests were legal. She has no business making law if she doesn’t even know some of the most important Laws already on the books and **why** they are laws; and then making such a foolish remark. tlaib says they can do this as long as they don’t have violent speech, and warren says that the Justices are hypocrites for putting up a fence around the Court. warren and talib are just as ignorant about what the Law really means.
So, Law doesn’t matter to these people. They are lawbreakers….”verified” lawbreakers…and proud of it.
How long before these “verified” idiots, verified hypocrites, verified liars, verified criminals, come to this site and “edit” our comments and “edit” Mr. Spencer’s and the other contributors’ articles to fit their “context”?
CogitoErgoSum says
Are some of these people sitting at home and wearing a mask while participating in a tele-conference? Are they worried some germs are going to spread over the internet? These are people with mental health problems. They see the world from the viewpoint of a lunatic who can pass through different levels of sanity depending on the phases of the moon. All of their ideas should be understood with that in mind. When they get together and talk to each other they can be very dangerous. (Some of them may even eat insects.)

somehistory,
Sen. Dr. Rand Paul, a brilliant US senator and physician, is certainly a breath of fresh air.
somehistory says
James,
I agree. He seems like an honest man…unlike most of the rest who are in it for the money and power.
He’s holding up the 40 billion to ukraine because he says he took an oath to the Constitution and not to some other nation; he wants someone to oversee the money and where it’s supposed to go to make sure it does. but, both mcconnel and schumer rats are complaining.
Sen. Paul looks very tired, though. Hope he takes good care.

Mr. James O’Keefe made an attempt to speak with a twi exec, but the guy ran into NYC traffic to avoid him. the video is posted on FPM and only about five minutes long. The exec had mocked Mr. Musk and evidently…I write that because city traffic is very loud…the exec also mocked people with special needs.
They can dish it out, but can’t take it….
Walter Sieruk says
This new Biden regine institute left-wing, Red /Green alliance propaganda machine,with Nina Jankowicz is its head bitch may be seen as a bad omen for the future of America.
How I hope I’m wrong in this observation.
Still in the tragic case that this top sentence true, then I’m glad that I’m not a young man and likewise I am very sorry for the children of this nation.

At Last We’re Getting Some (Chilling) Hints About What the Disinformation Chief Wants to Do
…………..
This *is* chilling–and perhaps even worse in some ways than simple censorship. It is unclear how far this “adding context” would go–Nina Jankowicz talks about their being able to edit others’ Tweets.
And how are these “trustworthy verified people” to be vetted? And by whom? Deeply disturbing.
Twitter’s verification feature, in which verified users receive a “blue check” next to their Twitter handles, was introduced more than a decade ago as a means to indicate that an account holder is “authentic, notable, and active.” It is aimed at helping users identify celebrities and public figures while distinguishing them from imposters or parody accounts.
Obviously what Nina Jankowicz has in mind goes *way* beyond this to some sort of ideological litmus test.
On a lighter note, the woman in the middle on this Zoom call appears to be all masked up even though she is alone in the office…
Wellington says
What a total punk (punkette?). To Hell with her, control-freak and liar that she is. She needs to get her come-uppance which would be her roundly ridiculed and mocked over and over and over again. As I have stated before, the next best thing to crushing evil (or stupidity) is mocking it.
This silly person does not need to be crushed, as Hitler, Stalin, recently Putin, etc. have needed Mocking, and plenty of it, will be enough. Mock, mock, mock away. Laugh this nothing into oblivion.
mortimer says
Jankowicz is an authoritarian and a totalitarian.
Mayorkas is a villain from a James Bond film.
Wellington says
That’s about right, mortimer.
James Lincoln says

“Florida AG: Docs uncovered showing Biden, Mayorkas know their border policies help cartels, hurt US”
“Documents show President Biden and his Homeland Security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, are knowingly engaging in policymaking that benefits transnational smuggling cartels and endangers the United States, Florida’s attorney general said Friday.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced on “America Reports” that her office has obtained documents she said show Mayorkas did not tell the truth when he testified to Congress that DHS was effectively managing the Mexican border.
Biden, she said, is the ringleader of an “unconscionable cover-up” of immigration policy breakdowns, telling Fox News the documents she obtained through FOIA show he understands his policies are enriching cartels and failing the homeland.”
