That the Biden Admin casually announced today that the Dept of Homeland Security -- a domestic security agency -- has created a "disinformation" board is indescribably dystopian and chilling.

That Democrats think this is good and normal tells you all you need to know about them.

That the Biden Admin is using Homeland Security -- a domestic security agency -- to decree what is and is not "disinformation" is creepy and dystopian on its own.

That they found a caricature of an MSNBC-watching #Resistance kook to run it is surreal:

I don't know the exact percentage but I know the vast majority of self-proclaimed "anti-disinformation" agents peddled:

-- The Steele Dossier
-- The fairy tale that Russia seized control of the US with blackmail
-- The CIA fabrication of "Russian bounties" in Afghanistan.

This:

If you spent the weeks before the 2020 election spreading and ratifying the CIA lie that the Biden family emails were "Russian disinformation," and then never apologized or retracted it, you have *zero* credibility to lament "disinformation."

You are a disinformation agent.

The #Resistance cartoon-activist whom the Biden Admin selected to head its dystopian Homeland Security "Disinformation Board" will provide a valuable service: showing how "disinformation" is a meaningless term that just means whatever those who wield power want it to mean.

Ethics and principles and all that aside, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have an equal self-interest in defunding and banning this new DHS Ministry of Truth. Just unite and deny it funding. Congress is supposed to check Executive Branch abuses this way.
