If I was to hazard a guess, this is actually a move in internecine war between different Mandarins in the byzantine US governement. No other associations intended but it is starting to look like Germany during the national socialist years: umpteen secret service and espionage agencies competing against eachother, each with their own branch of armed forces.
Meanwhile, the banking clans say "Thankee kindly mistah 'murican, for doing such god job for us." (Feel free to add any ethnic stereotype to the preceding sentence, since I don't know which one is ok to mock today...)
The fall elections simply can't arrive soon enough. They decided to formalize what has been going on. At least we now have a target to accost. I think she will not appreciate the attention from Congress.
"...working on Russian propaganda efforts." Haha, interesting phrasing. Sounds like they recruited her from Moscow to adapt those propaganda efforts for an American audience.
I think a lot of this has been in the works for a while, just quietly, but the election of Trump and now Elon Musk buying Twitter have made them kick the acceleration toward centralized totalitarianism in high gear. Not because either of these people are in themselves saviors, but because of what they have revealed and could reveal. I've read a couple interesting articles in the last day.
And then when you read the history of the Wilson Center, this is just history repeating itself, though it makes me nervous about how close we actually are to stupidly putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. A war is an excellent excuse to crack down on civil liberties now that people have stopped buying the BS about COVID. The last time the government tried this was World War I, under Woodrow Wilson, who created the Committee on Public Information.

Jim Treacher pointed that out this morning (DGB, KGB). I hadn't noticed it. I feel like I'm living in a satire. I'm glad I can come here and find likeminded souls.
Wars are good for many things. Wars make a small number of people very rich. Wars allow the powers that be to focus all of everyone's attention on "the war". (Coincidently taking the focus away from other, possibly inconvenient, realities. And scariest of all - Can you think of a better reason to cancel/postpone elections?
the whole Homeland Security dept is 2/3 of the way to the German SS with their broad powers outside the system of checks and balances and their surveillance capacities.
their new subsidiaries are just icing on the cake.
that mention of it being the worst thing since the p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act is funny, since without that partially Biden-authored garbage legislation, there would be no unconstitutional Homeland Security dept in the first place.
A few Republicans have spoken up and Josh Hawley wrote a letter, so the "opposition" has done its part.
This is blatantly unconstitutional and is all about them being able to screw with the midterm elections. After searching the internet, I haven't found any organization making a statement other than Freedom Works. Any legal firms or AGs willing to step up and try stop this?
What if we start by not sanctifying ANY President? Because most of them on both sides have been schmucks, to use the mildest possible term, and the ones with the fewest personal defects have nevertheless failed to sufficiently turn over the rocks under which all the maggots lie.
Unless one can be truly clear-eyed, and ruthless in holding one's own side to account when necessary, the road ahead will only get grimmer.
Back to muckin' out the cowshed, peasant. Don't question your betters. Of course you can trust your government. And since big pharma funds the government, you can trust them too.
As we are devolved back to word of mouth, or an occasional hand delivered letter, remember to always speak the truth, for without it we are no longer free, but cogs in a machine.
I for one will not be a pinion of my own destruction, for I will fight with every tool available to me, this dementia driven demagoguery.
Think it through. The purported reason for existence of this is to counter election "misinformation", with an emphasis on "misinformation" targeting the illegal immigrant "community".
Additionally, as mentioned by others, the DHS recently included/expanded it's definition of terrorism to include "mal-, dis-, and mis-information". This "temporary" expansion is "only" through June of this year. Under the Patriot Act, the US can detain indefinitely anyone it determines is a terrorist.
No. I disagree with you. I think he was in fact writing about what he foresaw. He was a visionary. He saw what was in the near future, and he had the artistic genius to be able to put it into searing, indelible, powerful words for posterity.
And I object to your calling George Orwell a "poor bastard." He was a great artist, a truly great soul.
The real question is, what are we all going to do about this? Time to start a concerted letter writing campaign to our elected representatives? Get Veritas or DW or someone to launch an exposure/counteroffensive campaign? This seems more important than just whining on Substack at which many of us are very good. Suggestions?
Former friend of mine works for the TSA. He took issue with my position his job was someday gonna put him in a most precarious position, especially regarding his more Liberty minded friends.
Lost more than a few friends because of that fight.
My next step is to pull this news out of the ground like a sign post and rhetorically beat them with it.
I'm personally going to remind people of every time government has been 'mistaken' about something that would have gotten you banned. Lab leak, vaccine efficacy, etc etc etc.
I have no doubt that if this were around in 2001 they would have been people who said Iraq had no WMDs.
Of course the US would go with KGB but more D.
DGB? Are they sure they got the first initial right?

Myorkis says it's a done deal. Already established. And it's DHS, which polices internal crime, not Russians. They're targeting me and you.
It's pretty bad when North Korea starts looking freer than America. 😜

The first is about the strangeness on Twitter right now with conservatives adding followers and lefties loosing them (I won't call them liberals). This is from the Heretic Speculator: https://faybomb.substack.com/p/something-odd-is-happening-at-twitter?utm_source=%2Finbox&utm_medium=reader2&s=r

It’s hilarious to me obviously retarded the government is.
Disinformation Governance Board? My gods, the material writes itself.
No wonder 1984 has an epilogue.
Try as they might, they couldn't come up with a synonym for "Disinformation" that started with a K.

And, of course, big wars have the potential of killing millions of people, helping to get the monsters closer to their population goal...
If a real war breaks out and nuclear weapons get used I suspect that Davos will not be usable for quite a time.

Over and over the last couple years I've made the same observation:
If you ask people if politicians can be trusted, they say no.
If you ask people if big pharma can be trusted, they say no.
Yet we're supposed to trust politicians and big pharma now?
the people claiming we should trust the PharmaCo bought and paid for government are just mouthpieces for the propaganda machine.
anyone who believes them was already suckered.

Are the smuggling groups peddling disinformation to potential illegal immigrants by telling them they need to be vaccinated to enter the U.S.?

Nothing can potentially go wrong with that!
Orwell wept.
Nah, he’s smirking. Cause we’re smarter than Winston.
As he spins in his grave. The poor bastard thought he was writing a dystopian novel - not a handbook.
No. I disagree with you. I think he was in fact writing about what he foresaw. He was a visionary. He saw what was in the near future, and he had the artistic genius to be able to put it into searing, indelible, powerful words for posterity.
And I object to your calling George Orwell a "poor bastard." He was a great artist, a truly great soul.
Yes. He was such a prescient genius, wasn't he?

Baby steps.
Start your own Department of Homeland Security Misinformation Department?
That’s like the Department of Redundancy Department
Why not go all out - make it the "Department of Homeland Security - Mis, Mal, Dis, and Dud Information Division".
I'm personally going to remind people of every time government has been 'mistaken' about something that would have gotten you banned. Lab leak, vaccine efficacy, etc etc etc.
I have no doubt that if this were around in 2001 they would have been people who said Iraq had no WMDs.
Commander, the gentleman in your profile pic was clearly a fortune teller!
Here's a thought if the GOP does in fact sweep the dems out of power over the next 3 years: Disband the Department of Homeland Security altogether!
Reverse the terrible results of the fake 9/11
Don’t stop there. Reverse the terrible results of the real 9/11 too.
We totally lost our minds.
