Many politicians and pundits are in full panic over Elon Musk’s threat to restore free speech values to Twitter. While Hillary Clinton has called upon Europeans to step in to maintain such censorship and Barack Obama has called for U.S. regulations, the Biden Administration has created a new Disinformation Governance Board in the Department of Homeland Security. It appointed an executive director, Nina Jankowicz, who is literally pitch perfect as an advocate for both corporate and state censorship.
It would have been hard to come up with a more Orwellian name short of the Ministry of Truth. However, the DGB needed a true believer to carry out the monitoring of political speech in the United States. It found that person in Jankowicz, who has long been an outspoken anti-free speech advocate.
Indeed, Jankowicz put her extreme views to music and posted it on TikTok in a rendition of Mary Poppins’ “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”
What is clear is that Jankowicz has a far better hold on the musical scale than constitutional values. With what is a remarkably impressive singing voice, Jankowicz croons that “You can just call me the Mary Poppins of disinformation.”
It was a poignant and prophetic line.
Jankowicz was selected by the Biden Administration after years of pushing disinformation on the left while calling for censorship of the right.
Jankowicz previously argued that Congress should create new laws to block mockery of women online by reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and including “provisions against online gender-based harassment.”
Jankowicz testified before British House of Parliament last year about “gender misinformation” being a “national security concern” and a threat to democracy requiring government censorship.
She has demanded that both tech companies and government should work together using “creativity and technological prowess to make a pariah of online misogyny.”
On the Hunter Biden laptop, Jankowicz pushed the false narrative that it was a false story and that “we should view it as a Trump campaign product.” She continued to spread that disinformation, including tweeting a link to a news article that she said cast “yet more doubt on the provenance of the NY Post’s Hunter Biden story.” In another tweet, she added “not to mention that the emails don’t need to be altered to be part of an influence campaign. Voters deserve that context, not a [fairy] tale about a laptop repair shop.”
She even cites the author of the Steele Dossier as a guide for how to deal with disinformation. In August 2020, Jankowicz tweeted “Listened to this last night – Chris Steele (yes THAT Chris Steele) provides some great historical context about the evolution of disinfo. Worth a listen.”
She also joined the panic over the Musk threat to reintroduce free speech values to Twitter. In an interview on NPR, she stated “I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities.”
Pitch perfect. Indeed, in seeing how we all “measure up,” Nina Jankowicz “is practically perfect in every way.”

Off topic but interesting. Here is a link to Chauvin’s appellate brief. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/04/the-chauvin-appeal.php
For some reason the court refused to appoint a public defender for him so finally a courageous lawyer stepped forward to handle the case.
Now we will see if kangaroos jump as high as the court of appeals.
This trial should never have been conducted as it was.
I only scanned the table of contents but I was shocked to see the judge would not allow the introduction of the police training manual showing that Chauvin’s restraint procedure was approved and taught by the department. Maybe the judge thought it would interfere with the conviction.
Judge Freisler would likely approve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ34illEapU
– Change the venue to Hayden Idaho.
– Select a jury of Chauvin’s peers.
– Drop the charges based on training Chauvin (a law enforcement officer doing his duty) in the neck restraint procedure, past practices employing the neck restraint procedure, and efficacy of the neck restraint procedure established during 237 previous incidents in which no suspect died.
Provide Chauvin supplemental training regarding department procedures for neck restraint, including medical (heartbeat, respiration, etc.) monitoring which is conducted by EMT personnel per regulations.
Charge George Floyd posthumously for degrading his physiology by a deleterious lifestyle and substance abuse to the degree of actual causation of expiration.

Obama appointed Federal Judge in Orlando upholds CDC mask mandate in a ruling today.
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/520692-new-federal-court-decision-in-orlando-supports-airplane-mask-mandates/
New federal court decision in Orlando supports airplane mask mandates
On Friday U.S. District Judge Paul G. Byron ruled that the CDC has the authority, and followed it appropriately, to mandate that masks be worn by passengers of domestic flights, trains, buses and other public transit, and to mandate that people coming to the United States on international flights must pass COVID-19 tests first.
Byron’s ruling reaches the opposite conclusion and leads to an oppose order regarding masks on airlines, compared with those entered April 18 by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle — also of the Middle District of Florida, but in the Tampa Division — who struck down the mask mandate
Byron is with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the Orlando Division. He was appointed to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama.
Mizelle is also of the Middle District of Florida, but in the Tampa Division. She was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump.
The conflicting mask rules likely are headed for a showdown at higher courts.
We are being told by some who post here that the Disinformation Board has not been set up yet. This is how they do it. They come up with an asinine idea and then when the public sees how ridiculous it is they say they never really considered it. Let me offer the defund the police movement by the Democrats as evidence. Then crime goes up and they very quickly distant themselves from what they previously supported. Don’t believe me? Look at what the Democratic candidates are doing in purple districts. They somehow thought that defund the police would be a winner in the Black community but after the polls show that Blacks want more policing rather than less they are now running for the exits prior to the mid-terms. Never mind the lives destroyed by murders and looting if it might help them to stay in power. In this instance Black Lives Don’t Matter.
“We are being told by some who post here that the Disinformation Board has not been set up yet.”
You haven’t been told that anywhere in these comments.
You either have reading comprehension problems, or you’re purposefully misrepresenting what was actually said. I suspect that it’s the latter, as you often do that.
Free Speech: R.I.P. (Repost)
By establishing the “Disinformation Governance Board” (DGB), the Left has killed free speech in America.
The administration (read, Obama and his minions) claims, dishonestly, that DGB will use the government’s police powers to combat “disinformation.” In reality, this is censorship (and clearly unConstitutional). It is the criminalizing of any opinions, ideas, speech that some Higher Authority arbitrarily decrees to be “disinformation.” It is government force directed at the individual’s mind. For the Left, “disinformation” is the secular equivalent of “blasphemy.”
Where did they house DGB? In the Department of Education? No. In Health and Human Services? No.
DGB exists in the Department of Homeland Security — a massive *law enforcement* agency. That is the establishment of thought “crimes” and of “thought police” — in America?! if you dissent from the Establishment’s opinions, you are guilty of spreading “disinformation,” and are an enemy of the State. DGB makes dissent a “crime” — in America?! Jail? Merely a fine? A “reeducation” camp? Only time will tell.
And who are to be the first victims of the new censors? Some prominent person or organization. Twitter? Fox News? Turley? Whoever the target, the motivation will be to maximize the propaganda value of terrorizing lesser dissenters.
“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” (George Washington)
Prepare for the slaughter.
If you havent’ noticed. They’ve already done that in the past 5 years. They’ve been killing off our thought leaders for the Republican, Libertarian, and Independence Parties. Current body count is around 300 people I’m rather worried I might be next which is why I’m staying at a relatives’ place in NYC.
By establishing a GOVERNMENTAL entity (the Disinformation Governance Board), more than plain censorship (of already published material) by private entities could be at stake…
There is a First Amendment-related cause-of-action (by injunction) known as “prior restraint,” which allows a governmental entity to review the INTENDED content of speech or media materials and (in certain circumstances) preemptively strike/PREVENT the speech or publication from happening.
Although prior restraint is HEAVILY disfavored by SCOTUS (as against First Amendment), a few decisions have been amenable to the idea that it could be used in matters involving national security or matters “which may incite violence.” (I think it started with, was it the Near case???)
Can we imagine what undesirable speech or publication could be preemptively stopped under DGB?
Having the GOVERNMENT filter our information for “disinformation” is veddy veddy scare-dy. Particularly when government, media, and academia all act collaboratively.
If one searches the entire .gov domain for “Disinformation Governance Board,” the only results are a transcript where that phrase was used in a question posed to Jen Psaki and a bunch of pages with claims from Republicans (like this one: https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-slams-biden-administrations-disinformation-governance-board-demands-it-be-dissolved ).
But there is no “Disinformation Governance Board” site anywhere in the HUGE dot-gov domain.
There was no testimony by Mayorkas claiming that there is a DHS office called the “Disinformation Governance Board.”
For all Turley and the commenters here know, it’s disinformation that there is going to be an office called the “Disinformation Governance Board.” That would be ironic — and amusing, given the extent to which people are wigging out about it.
Has it occurred to people to wait and see whether there will actually be such an office — and if so, what its name will be, what its charge will be, etc. — instead of attacking it without knowing?
Maybe when the Gov’t sees the “extent to which people are wigging out about it,” it will drop its plans….(you know,—-that part about the “people” being able to petition Gov’t for a “redress of grievances…”? For all we know, that may be the intended plan…to gauge public reaction…..
“that may be the intended plan” for what?

Rule number one, deny that something exist like CRT being taught in schools, the Hunter laptop is not real, and gender studies is not being taught to first graders. Rule number two is stick to your story until the story has been completely disproven then drop any further attempts at rebuttal and just move onto the next outrage of the day. You can’t possibly think that Anonymous will say “I guess the new disinformation panel is being put in place.” Their first act of the day must be to study the playbook, put it into practice and never admit that you are a fool when your found to be wrong.

Olly: Bravo! Anonymous: Checkmate!
Yes, Olly, my search skills are good enough.
First, notice that your Twitter.com clip is not counterevidence to my claim that “there is no ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ site anywhere in the HUGE dot-gov domain.”
Second, in my 7:06 PM comment, I already pointed out that I’d found Mayorkas’s brief mentions in his testimony, which I didn’t initially find because of errors in the closed-captioning transcripts.
Note that in the excerpt you linked to, Mayorkas does not say anything like “there is a DHS office called the ‘Disinformation Governance Board.’”
What he said in response to a question about mis- and disinformation by foreign adversaries involved in human smuggling and election interference is “Congresswoman, we have a number of different offices engaged in this critical effort. Of course, our Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has an entire effort focused on election security as part of its mission set. Our Office of Policy — Office of Planning, Policy and Strategy — also is a leading effort. Our Undersecretary for Policy, Rob Silvers, is co-chair with our Principal Deputy General Counsel Jennifer Daskal, in leading a just recently constituted misinformation/disinformation governance board. …”
Silvers and Daskal are both in the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans — https://www.dhs.gov/office-strategy-policy-plans — so the misinformation/disinformation governance board that Mayorkas is referring to is apparently something within the OSPP, not a separate Office. Mayorkas doesn’t give any detailed description of what this misinformation/disinformation governance board in the OSPP will be doing. But somehow, his brief mention became capitalized and portrayed as censorship of Americans. Perhaps when we learn more, that will be born out, but as far as I’m concerned, only an idiot or a partisan shill would jump to that conclusion based on what we currently know about it.
Turley regularly complains about the “age of rage” while feeding it with distorted descriptions.
“Perhaps when we learn more, that [government censorship] will be born out . . .”
There’s an idea. Let’s wait until a person hits the pavement, from 100′ up, to see what “will be born out.”
By all means, let’s not learn from history or from principles (if one has them).
We’re not talking about someone hitting the pavement from 100′ up, the outcome of which can be determined by gravity.
We’re talking about not pretending that guesses about this misinformation/disinformation governance board are facts.
You seem fond of choosing inapt analogies.
Anon,
You have posted numerous objections to the comments of others, often of the sort “You didn’t capitalize the beginning of that sentence” [No, I know you didn’t say that, but that is the nature of your complaints].
But, perhaps you can tell us what exactly is Nina Jankowicz supposed to be doing?
“that is the nature of your complaints”
It isn’t, though that won’t keep you from dishonestly pretending it is.
As for your question, I don’t know, and I clearly cannot know until there’s some statement about it from someone who does know. Unlike some people here, I’m going to wait until I learn some facts about it instead of pretending to know.
Anon,
What is her announced connection with DHS?
Perhaps that will offer a clue to her intended role.
Or is she simply collecting a federal salary with no job description?
Why do you ask others to look things up for you?
this anonymous is likely svelaz
Svelaz doesn’t talk to me that way, nor I to him.
The new development has been reported on widely. Just because there is no URL, is not dispositive. Do a Google search and evaluate the available data.

That’s how I concluded that If one searches the entire .gov domain for “Disinformation Governance Board,” the only results are a transcript where that phrase was used in a question posed to Jen Psaki and a bunch of pages with claims from Republicans (like this one: https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-slams-biden-administrations-disinformation-governance-board-demands-it-be-dissolved ). Are you not aware that you can limit Google searches to a desired domain such as .gov?

Anon: “First, notice that your Twitter.com clip is not counterevidence to my claim that “there is no ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ site anywhere in the HUGE dot-gov domain.”

Who cares about your dot.gov domain? Stupid argument. The government is creating this creature.
Obviously most of us have a few more brains cells.
“There was no testimony by Mayorkas claiming that there is a DHS office called the ‘Disinformation Governance Board.’”
Yes there was. And it’s being reported all over the media (including the MSM).
No, Mayorkas did not say that there is a DHS office called the “Disinformation Governance Board.”
I’ve finally found a brief segment where Mayorkas touches on this. It didn’t come up in my initial searches of the two hearing transcripts because C-Span’s closed captioning is imperfect. But what Mayorkas actually said about mis- and disinformation does not substantiate Turley’s claim that this board will “carry out the monitoring of political speech in the United States.”
“it’s being reported all over the media”
So was the Steele Dossier. Do you assume that reporting is all accurate too?
You started this nonsense, you twit, by saying: If you search the DHS website or the .gov domain as a whole, there is no “Disinformation Governance Board.
Mayorkas confirmed in congressional testimony that they have “a recently constituted misinformation/disinformation governance board.”
…does not substantiate Turley’s claim that…
Oh, GFY you troll. You’ve once again been proven to be a less than useful idiot.
“Mayorkas confirmed in congressional testimony that they have ‘a recently constituted misinformation/disinformation governance board.’”
Yes, within the OSPP, and we do not know much about it. But it is not a separate office, and nothing Mayorkas said indicates that it’s some capitalized Disinformation Governance Board carrying out government censorship. Turley imagines a “Sweet Sound of Censorship” and riles up his readers by pretending that he’s describing something he knows rather than something he’s alleging without evidence.
As for GFY, take your own advice.
is there any evil emanating from the Left that you won’t try to whitewash?
Aww, a loaded question. Once again you demonstrate that despite having claimed to have taught logic, you’re happy to invoke fallacies.
“Aww, a loaded question.”
Nope. A *rhetorical* question based on your documented history as an Apologist.
Just stop replying to the “trolls and juvenile posters”. You’re never going to win. Just ignore them. Stop giving them what they want……a response. They don’t deserve it and we all would enjoy this blog more if people would stop entertaining these agitators.
Sergeant Major, is it possible for someone to have a different view than you do without being a “troll and juvenile poster”?
I’m trying to point out that we have very little actual information about this misinformation/disinformation governance board, and people are presenting a lot of claims about it as if their claims are facts when they’re actually guesses.
We have enough to call out the government for blatantly violating the 1st Amendment.
Repost:
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/apr/28/dhs-created-disinformation-governance-team-police-/
What do you do if the government (with their corporatist buddies) are the source of disinformation, etc?
But, if Ms. Jankowicz “has been on the job for a couple of months, but Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas only revealed the disinformation board’s existence this week in testimony to Congress” why isn’t there any information about this that I can find on DHS.gov? A DuckDuckGo search doesn’t pop up anything with keyword search terms, nor does a search directly on the DHS.gov website.
If she has expansive duties (yikes!), shouldn’t she be on this (https://www.dhs.gov/leadership) list? And, shouldn’t this have been brought to Congress’ attention before even getting formed, or at least at its inception?
-‐—————–
What is this nonsense with is it there, is it not there? Is there no there there? Grrr.
Geez, will there be a jabberwocky next…?
Nina Jankowicz knows disinformation and is qualified for the position of “Orwellian Ministry of Truth.”
Nina Jankowicz is the very personification of disinformation.
If you search the DHS website or the .gov domain as a whole, there is no “Disinformation Governance Board.”
“It appointed an executive director, Nina Jankowicz, who is literally pitch perfect as an advocate for both corporate and state censorship.”
How about you wait until this proposed office actually sets up shop before your pretend to know what it will advocate?

Damn boy, you are an idiot. And when Biden declares he setting up reeducation camps, we should wait until we find out what the curriculum is?
Drop the garbage analogy. Biden hasn’t declared that he is setting up this office.
As far as I can tell, there has not been any formal announcement about this from anyone. Turley certainly hasn’t linked to one, and you haven’t either.
It looks like people are wigging out about things they imagine — and want to believe — but have no evidence for.
Yes, everyone chill out. You can not complain that you have lost your rights until after you have lost them.
Nice. Some January 6th “detainees” were unavailable for comment…for some odd reason.

The .gov web site is not a legal source. I bet there is a disclaimer on the web saying the information on the site can not be used to hold the govt accountable.
“The .gov web site is not a legal source”
Why on earth would you believe such garbage?
How about NO!
The state is not free to even CONTEMPLATE actual censorship.
There is no function for this office that is not unconstitutional.
SMH that you don’t recognize that your imaginings aren’t knowledge.
To deny the establishment of the DGB is like looking up to the sky during a bright day and saying “the sun does not exist”. People have shown proof of its existence.
Repent of your twisted thinking.

************************
Yeah let’s do that like the Poles let the Nazi army mass on their border in 1939. Why be hasty with our defense of free speech?
More stupid from the Queen of Stupid.
This is the kind of thing that began in Turkey 20 years ago when Erdogan came in, and was accelerated after the 2016 failed coup.
Now, you don’t see opinion columns in their newspapers anymore. This kind of autocracy comes in tiny baby-steps, easy to ignore.
But they have to be fought as if they are big jumping off points.
We have allowed govt. censorship in many areas of law and commerce (e.g., you cannot commit perjury under oath, you cannot claim medical device and drug benefits that haven’t been proven with data, you can’t lie on your SEC filing or tax return, you cannot impersonate another boarding an airplance, etc. But, these are based on laws passed by Congress, where to stretch the truth defeats the law.
Biden/Mayorkas are going way out of his lane with this Disinformation Czar. It needs to be passed into law by Congress, and limits explicitly put on the content areas that can legally be addressed (foreign actor misinformation campaigns that threaten Homeland Security).
Clearly, the law should also outlaw this Disinformation Office from releasing any disinformation on any topic, under serious penalty of imprisonment.
Orwell did say that the most dangerous zealots were young women. Granted, Jankowicz is now a little older than the age group Winston Smith specified but she’s just a woman in her twenties aged a few years.
Parodies have been quite popular as of late. Metaphorically speaking, is it because we are too fast becoming parodies of ourselves? 🙁
“Indeed, Jankowicz put her extreme views to music and posted it on TikTok in a rendition of Mary Poppins’ “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.””
What the heck?! 😳 Fits, I guess, since Mary Poppins sang that while she was in a fantasy world, having popped into a chalk painting.
Madness of King George at Georgetown?
I spoke openly against some of Castro’s policies and the repression against his opponents. I was told to stop by many and when I said that freedom of speech was what Castro promised the retort was “you can speak freely, but if against Castro, you are against all the population and a traitor to Cuba”. I left Cuba, and indeed few weeks after my home was entered and my room searched.
Important to note this was in the mid- 1960’s when Castro was idolized by the World, including this country! Little did I know that I am now reliving the same nightmare. I was censored because I was expressing “misinformation” about Cuba. Make no mistake, misinformation is being used as censorship, and even if true and/or even overt lying, insults, they are free speech. As such, it is true from opposite viewpoints, but the right to do it should be praised, not criticized.
Fernando J. Milanes, MD
Thank you for sharing your poignant story with the readers of this blog, Dr.
Milanes. It is both frightening and instructive.
When I first heard of the creation of the agency “Department of Homeland Security”, I was taken aback as to how National Socialist it sounded; you could easily see a imposing Nazi Government Building with the blazonry “Heimatschutz Ministerium”.
So, that came and stayed, always grating, but became another fixture.
Now they are virtually taking their build notes directly from Orwell; as noted here elsewhere, this is virtually the same as The Ministry of Truth.
The thing is, I don’t see how, other than existing as an US agency without portfolio.
The US Govt has no business regulating the flow of disinformation, it is most obviously prevented from doing so in the Const. 1st Am.
I can see where they will try to make some wiggle room.
They will argue that the Constitution’s prohibitions only apply to criminal prosecutions. They will argue that any prohibitions they impose/regulate are civil matters with no criminal liability attached. They will carefully craft their punitive measures as purely civil, in any number of ways, e.g., licensure removals or ineligibilities, govt business contract or grant rejections, scrutinized tax audits or other routine inspections, even civil fines.
There is much precedent for this duplicitous bifurcation of criminalesque prosecution/restraint, but couching the actions as civil enforcement. Off the top — civil forfeitures, gag orders, interpersonal restraining orders, child support/alimony orders, etc.
They are trying to institute a European style official speech censorship schemata in the United States, despite the Constitutional protections against it. And they will use all the ‘exceptions’ to the rule, slaloming around clear prohibitions and landing on wherever the courts say some kind of speech or liberty encroaching action is legal.
The courts will have to recognize that any civil action a govt effectuates that have criminal or liberty/property/speech restraining consequences, must be as illegal as anything they do that are traditionally protected for criminal defendants.
