DHS has already created a US Ministry Of Truth. Only it’s not the Disinformation Governance Board — it’s something far more entrenched and disturbing.

We will break down highlights in this thread. See full report here:

2. Parents: Your taxes pay for DHS to tell your kids to report you to Facebook for “disinformation” if you dispute gov't Covid statistics:
3. DHS formally partnered with a highly partisan "disinformation" specialist group to censor "repeat misinformation spreaders" ahead of the 2020 election.

Every single account DHS's partner targeted happened to be an influential conservative:
4. There was no subtlety in DHS's targeting of conservative voices. Their outsourced "disinformation" reporter did a *clean sweep* flagging right-of-center accounts:
5. DHS was not authorized to do this. It was tasked with countering "foreign" disinformation, then quietly pulled off a "foreign to domestic switcheroo" in the run-up to the 2020 election:
6. DHS directs a web of private companies, civil society groups and news outlets in a "whole of society" response against "disinformation".

What this means in practice is every institution in society pushing the same Internet censorship:
7. DHS was teaching election officials to set up "incident response teams" to censor social media posts all over the country for "misinformation":
8. DHS takes great pains to present as though it differentiates between "mis, dis and malinformation" -- but in reality, its own DHS conference calls instructed social media election monitors to just call everything "disinformation":
9. Incredibly, every single entity in DHS's "disinformation" partner censoring the 2020 election *for* the US government was receiving millions *from* the US government:
10. So what was a ***cybersecurity*** agency within DHS doing speech policing what US citizens could say about Covid on social media?
11. Amazingly, they got away with arguing that "disinformation" is essentially a "cyber threat" against "critical infrastructure" --- and cited elections and healthcare as critical infrastructure:
12. After changing its name from the foreign-focused "Countering Foreign Influence Task Force" to the domestic-focused "Mis, Dis and Malinformation", DHS now has carte blanche to go after any social media narrative that "undermines public trust in government":
13. But if one simply inserts Bill Gates into DHS’s "Covid disinformation" cartoon, it does not exactly inspire *public trust* in DHS’s pursuit of punishments — like permanent denial of social media access — for citizens disputing Official Truths:
