Biden’s DHS Sets Up Orwellian ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ By Debra Heine for American Greatness
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced on Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security has set up a new board designed to counter what it deems to be “misinformation and disinformation” threatening the homeland.
The “Disinformation Governance Board” that will be tasked with patrolling the speech of Americans, will reportedly be headed by “disinformation expert” Nina Jankowicz, a fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington who formerly worked as an advisor to the Ukrainian government.
Cat’s out of the bag: here’s what I’ve been up to the past two months, and why I’ve been a bit quiet on here.

During a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on DHS’s budget Wed. afternoon, Mayorkas said, “Our Undersecretary for Policy, Rob Silvers is co-chair with our Principal Deputy General Counsel, Jennifer Gaskell, in leading a just recently constituted misinformation disinformation governance board. So we’re bringing — the goal is to bring the resources of the department together to address this threat.” Jankowicz’s focus will reportedly be on “irregular migration and Russia.”
This news comes two days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk secured a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, promising to return the platform to its free speech roots.
Although Jankowicz professes to be an expert at spotting online disinformation, these skills seemed to elude her during the final presidential debate on Oct. 22, 2020. In a tweet, she highlighted Joe Biden’s contention that “50 national security officials, and 5 former CIA heads” said in a letter that they believed the Hunter Biden laptop story was “a Russian influence op.”
Back on the “laptop from hell,” apparently- Biden notes 50 former natsec officials and 5 former CIA heads that believe the laptop is a Russian influence op.
Trump says “Russia, Russia, Russia.”

In fact, the letter was part of a Democrat influence op designed to discredit a very damaging story that was threatening Biden’s campaign. The “laptop from hell” was a very real, and extremely relevant story.
