“The CCP said, ‘Jankowicz said that putting the blame on a Wuhan lab helps the Trump administration find a scapegoat. It becomes more politically convenient for Trump and his administration, she said.'”
Now we see who exactly was retailing falsehoods for political convenience. Why, it was none other than Biden’s disinformation czarina herself.
“Biden ‘disinformation’ chief’s criticisms of lab leak theory were boosted by CCP,” by Jerry Dunleavy, Washington Examiner, April 29, 2022:
The Biden administration’s new “disinformation” czar was cited favorably by the Chinese Communist Party in 2020 for her criticisms of proponents of the hypothesis that COVID-19 emerged from a Wuhan lab, which she dismissed as a pro-Trump talking point.
The episode is another example in which Nina Jankowicz, the newly named executive director of the Department of Homeland Security’s new Disinformation Governance Board, either labeled claims as disinformation that were later found to have credibility or gave credence to assertions that were later discredited. Most notably, she also backed Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and cast doubt on the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election.
Jankowicz was cited in an April 2020 BuzzFeed article titled “Scientists Haven’t Found Proof The Coronavirus Escaped From A Lab In Wuhan. Trump Supporters Are Spreading The Rumor Anyway.”…
Jankowicz suggested that the lab leak theory helped the Trump administration find a scapegoat.
“It becomes more politically convenient for Trump and his administration the further we get into this maelstrom, especially in comparison to the Chinese response,” she said.
Chinese state-run media repeatedly cited Jankowicz’s comments.
China Daily, owned by the CCP’s Publicity Department, published two nearly identical pieces in early May 2020, one titled “U.S. right-wing media fan virus origin rumor” and the other “Western officials, researchers cast doubt on China lab virus leak theory.”
The first story asserted that “the U.S. right-wing media and supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump have fanned the latest round of speculation that the novel coronavirus of COVID-19 came from a laboratory in Wuhan.” The CCP attacked the “right-wing media machine,” including the Washington Examiner.
The CCP said, “Jankowicz said that putting the blame on a Wuhan lab helps the Trump administration find a scapegoat. It becomes more politically convenient for Trump and his administration, she said.”…

Jankowicz learned the TECHNIQUES of disinformation so that she might PRACTICE it all the BETTER!
She HAS practiced disinformation NOTABLY and it may be assumed she will use her new job to purvey disinformation by DISGUISING IT as the OPPOSITE.
There is POSITIVE disinformation which PROMOTES FAKE NEWS … Jankowicz is a MASTER OF POSITIVE DISINFORMATION.
This job is about NEGATIVE DISINFORMATION … that is NEGATIVELY CENSORING VALID IDEAS BY UNILATERALLY LABELING THEM as ‘disinformation’ so the the VALID ideas may be MISCHARACTERIZED and thus lose their credibility with the general public for PARTISAN, POLITICAL PURPOSE.
This is a NEW PROPAGANDA DEPARTMENT for the Dems … it is a NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA PARTY which aims to SUPPRESS information that is DAMAGING to the Dems’ election campaigns.
mortimer says
The role of this new propaganda service is to label VALID INFORMATION as ‘disinformation’ and trust that MOST of the general public will not research to see if the labeling is correct or just more party propaganda.
MOST of the public will hear ‘THAT’S DISINFORMATION’ and then they will NOT check it for themselves.
THEN, fake news groups like CNN will trumpet ‘THAT’S DISINFORMATION’ and the Dems hope they will be able to bamboozle enough people to win elections.

That smoke coming from the DHS is her pants burning. Such a liar and she’s supposed to make sure the rest of us tell the truth. What a laugh…except it is not funny.
But, her day will come and lies won’t help her. She will get to “reap as she sows.”

Getting worse and worse. There is an independent alternative news website called CONSORTIUM NEWS, it has been BANNED
by PAYPAL,its account has been canceled.

More here:
“PayPal Cancels CN Account; May Seize Balance”
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/05/01/paypal-cancels-cn-account-may-seize-balance/
Not sure how PayPal seizing the balance could ever be legal.
That being said, Consortium News is notorious for supporting Jihad terror–including 9/11 and the London underground bombings in 2005, and the 2015 attacks in Paris, and attacks in Brussels.
This is all justified as “revenge” against Infidels.
Doomer has done the same himself.
Consortium News even favorably quotes the Islamic State in saying that attacks on Western civilians is allowed due to any defense against the Islamic State.
https://consortiumnews.com/2021/09/11/9-11-why-americans-were-never-told-why-they-were-attacked/
As usual, Jihad terror is all the fault of the ‘filthy Infidels’.

This young fool is trouble. Nothing good can come from her except opposition to her (oh gee, is this misinformation?).

Chinese Communist Party cited false claims about COVID origins from Biden’s Thought Police chief
……………
No surprise here–the very concept of a Disinformation Governance Board is intrinsically Orwellian.

I was listening to Twilight Zone Radio. One episode was all about a guy writing a book about alien abductions.
Close to the end, he found out that he was in contact with aliens. One of the aliens sad “The best way to conceal the truth, is to pretend to seek it.”
that is exactly what these dhs people are doing.
