New in PJ Media:
America has crossed the Rubicon. The Biden administration has established a Disinformation Governance Board, which is bad enough in itself, and even more ominously, it is part of the Department of Homeland Security. This sends the unmistakable signal that what the administration designates as “disinformation” will be treated as a national security issue, with the purveyors of this alleged disinformation being regarded as terrorists.
This is flagrantly unconstitutional, but it’s easy to imagine the Jesuitical arguments that Biden’s lawyers will make: “The First Amendment says that ‘Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech,” but Congress was not involved here; the Disinformation Governance Board has been established, not by Congress but apparently by the fiat of the president or the Homeland Security Secretary, within the Department of Homeland Security. Maybe they’ll also say that the freedom of speech is not being abridged at all, for the Founding Fathers surely didn’t intend to include “disinformation” within that freedom, did they? Surely they never intended that “disinformation” or “hate speech” would be allowed to proliferate, right?
The chief of Biden’s Thought Police, Nina Jankowicz, has already hinted at that argument. On Wednesday, she tweeted that “a HUGE focus of our work, and indeed, one of the key reasons the Board was established, is to maintain the Dept’s committment [sic; is misspelling disinformation?] to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, & civil liberties.” Yes, she actually wrote that the Disinformation Governance Board was established in order to protect free speech. It’s likely that she isn’t just trying to gaslight the rubes, either. She almost certainly really 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.
The only problem with this is that what Jankowicz herself and others among the Leftist political and media elites have more than once dismissed as “disinformation” turned out to be true. Jankowicz falsely claimed in 2017 that Republicans funded the notorious Steele Dossier that was a central element of the Russian Collusion hoax, and she insisted that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a “Trump campaign product.” Jankowicz is now defensive about passing on the claim from fifty-one (she said fifty, more disinformation) compromised intelligence officials that Hunter’s laptop was a “Russian influence op,” but is there really any doubt that if the Disinformation Governance Board had been up and running during the 2020 presidential campaign, it would have enthusiastically endorsed the intel wonks’ claim and denounced those who said that the laptop was real as purveyors of “disinformation”?
There is more. Read the rest here.

Who will benefit from the Ministry of Truth?
There are several,and I suspect it will be used for the following:
1. The carry out Election Fraud this year and keep the Republicans from getting a majority.
2. Or if not then without a doubt to carry out Electoral Fraud in 2024, presidential election.
3. To squash all opposition to a new war,against CHINA.
a. The NEOCONS would benefit: they are a group that always advocates REGIME CHANGE,
officially in the name of “Democracy and Freedom”.
They have been influential with Republican and DEMOCRAT presidents. Under both the democrats and republicans, they have been responsible for wars, usually PROXY wars.
In reality,the neocons effect regime change in other countries to be able to pillage and steal the natural resources ( like in Iraq )
b. The Military-Industrial Complex is NOT the same thing as the US military: it is private companies that only care about making money,
( and for that they often need WAR )
today they collaborat ewith the American government. But if tomorrow the US becomes 100% demilitarized, and if they can’t effect regime change in America,
the military-industrial complex would go to Work and Collaborate with CHINA. They have No Patriotism.
c. The GLOBALISTS( Soros,Bill Gates, Bezos,Schwaub ): they are like the other two,only interested
in Money and Power,
and for that they want to literally control the entire world by installing a global system where countries that against them will be Economically Destroyed. That is why they are against the emerging MULTIPOLAR world ( different economic blocs)
For example, today, CHINA pays Russia for its oil in YUEN money.

Of course, Doomer’s claim that the America stole natural resources from Iraq is utter calumny–in fact, that war cost the US a fortune–almost 2 trillion.
Then, his constant claims that the US is waging war against China is unfounded.
The problem with the crushing of freedom of speech is that the West has had their freedoms eroded, not that horror shows like Russia, China, and Iran have more freedoms than do the West. These crap holes haven’t gotten any better, despite what Doomer likes to pretend–in fact, Russia, bad to begin with, has gotten much worse since it invaded Ukraine.

Gov. De Santis has called it the “ministry of truth,” and has said he is going to fight it. Rep Boebert of CO has introduced a bill in the house to defund it.
Hannity had a guest…a pol from somewhere…who is against it, but kept using the phrase “hate speech” as speech that should be censored.
Well, I hate hearing the guy above me flush his toilet. If I said that to him, would that make me guilty of “hate speech”? How about, I hate it when someone driving cuts me off and I have to slam on the brakes to keep from hitting the jerk? Is that hate speech when I write it or say it?
The question has been asked, again by Mr. Spencer, and answered in the only way possible….”Who gets to decide what is hate speech?” and the answer is, the one deciding…not the person who said it or wrote it…or in the case of this “mnistry of *truth*” who was thinking it.
As the previous memo to all by the dhs proclaimed, those who disagree with the election outcome, or with the fauci lies about covid and the jabs, and anything else biden and his bosses say, are “domestic terrorists” and this new dept of lies is going to make sure those “terrorists” are silenced.

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.” As that above top, article explains ,” She almost certainly really 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.”
