Has Joe Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ Just Been Rebooted?

When the Biden administration was working to launch what quickly became known as his Orwellian “Ministry of Truth,” the public reacted negatively and it was “shut down.”

But it may be back already.

A extensively sourced report from Just the News notes that the original operation was called the “Disinformation Governance Board” and was under the Homeland Security Department.

Its chief was supposed to be far-left activist Nina Jankowicz, who later insisted that Fox News’ reporting on Biden’s scheme to influence information Americans can access hurt her work.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

She launched a campaign to collect money from Americans so she could sue.

Now, the Just the News report explains, there are those with concerns about a “new federal official to shield U.S. public opinion from purported threats of foreign disinformation” and it is nothing more than a “thinly veiled reboot” of the original censorship plan.

The new name is the “Foreign Malign Influence Center,” and the report confirms it was launched virtually without notice under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

It already is “provoking fears that it will use overstated foreign threats as a pretext to interfere in domestic political debate or will duplicate other federal efforts, especially a controversial State Department unit that tries to squelch populism abroad,” the report said.

The FMIC itself claims “The threat to U.S. democratic processes and institutions from foreign malign influence is persistent and dynamic. Informing efforts to counter it requires constant attention, a whole-of-government approach, support from the private sector, and engagement from the public.”

The first public mention apparently came in comments from director Avril Haines during a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting just days ago.

It apparently is to protect American “public opinion,” “suggesting the potential for policing domestic narratives,” the report said.

One “domestic narrative” that appeared just before the 2020 presidential election was the accurate reporting on the Biden family scandals detailed in a laptop computer Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair shop.

The FBI instructed social and other media companies to suppress that information, a move that likely impacted the election results, as a Media Research Center poll after showed had that information about Joe Biden been widely reported, many voters would have dropped their support for him.

Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi said, in the Just the News report, “It’s the basic rhetorical trick of the censorship age: raise a fuss about a foreign threat, using it as a battering ram to get everyone from Congress to the tech companies to submit to increased regulation and surveillance. Then, slowly, adjust your aim to domestic targets.”

The project was funded in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 and it officially is supposed to be protecting “political, military, economic, or other policies or activities” of federal, state and local governments, including elections, and domestic “public opinion.” Just the News said.

Brownstone Research, described by Just the News as a “boutique investment research firm,” said, “The government simply dropped the ‘hot potato’ – the original ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ – then re-created the same operation with a new name.

Haines told the Senate panel the FMIC was to look at “foreign influence and interference in elections” and deal “generally” with disinformation.

WND previously reported that members of the U.S. Senate were accusing Biden’s handlers of concealing details about their censorship schemes.

Those cited his now-failed Disinformation Governance Board. It was supposedly a government operation that would review and declare certain statements, even opinions, “disinformation” and rule that it be censored.

It’s already known that the Biden administration had multiple channels to foundations to complain about social media statements it disliked.

Those foundations then would, acting on behalf of the government, lobby social media companies to censor those views.

That scenario has raised many First Amendment questions, as the government is forbidden from censoring private speech.

When the board’s work became known it quickly was termed the “Ministry of Truth,” which, as Orwell described, perpetuated lies.

Jankowicz also quickly became known for a bizarre video where she sang, to the Mary Poppins tune “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” about disinformation.

Actor and conservative political activist James Woods was among those tweeting the video, noting: “This one absolutely has to go into the 2022 Time Capsule. #MinistryOfTruth.”

The lyrics Jankowicz sang state:

Information laundering is really quite ferocious
It’s when a huckster takes some lies and makes them sound precocious
By saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet, so
Disinformation’s origins are slightly less atrocious
It’s how you hide little, hide a little lie
It’s how you hide little, hide a little lie
It’s how you hide little, hide a little lie
When Rudy Giuliani shared band intel from Ukraine
Or when Tik Tok influencers say COVID can’t cause pain
They launder in disinfo and we really should take note
And not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote

As WND reported, a video of Jankowicz singing a foul-mouthed version of “My Simple Christmas Wish (Rich, Famous, and Powerful),” by David Friedman has also raised eyebrows.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today’s “public” (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children.

Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child’s transgender “transition.” In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to “catastrophic climate change.” Another lie. But it’s all classic Marxism/communism, with even the “3 R’s” – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with “woke,” “1984”-style madness.

Perhaps never has the true threat of today’s U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America’s public school system.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
