Biden's 'Ministry Of Truth' Tsar: Parents Concerned About Critical

The Biden administration’s new disinformation chief says that parents
who are upset about critical race theory (CRT) making its way into
public school classrooms are “disinformers” who “weaponize” the issue
“for profit.”

[let's not forget the US Attorney General's son makes millions selling
CRT materials]

Nina Jankowicz, who was appointed to lead the newly established
Disinformation Governance Board at the Department of Homeland
Security, dismissed the pushback against CRT indoctrination at an
event in Ohio last October, when the debate over parents’ right to
direct their children’s education had taken center stage in
high-profile elections, including Virginia’s gubernatorial race.

“Critical race theory has become one of those hot-button issues that
the Republicans and other disinformers, who are engaged in
disinformation for profit, frankly, … have seized on,” she said in a
video that has recently regained attention.

Jankowicz added that she lived in Virginia, where parents in Loudoun
County fiercely resisted attempts to inject leftist political activism
into local school curricula and policies. She called Loudoun “one of
the areas where people have really homed in on this topic.”

“But it’s no different than any of the other hot-button issues that
have allowed disinformation to flourish,” she said. “It’s weaponizing
people’s emotion.”

Jankowicz then told her audience to be alert when they read news
articles that make them feel emotional, adding that she supports
government-funded, left-leaning institutions such as NPR and PBS,
because these media outlets “get into the nuance of the issues” and
“provide a balanced, nonpartisan source of information.”

Jankowicz’s speech at the City Club of Cleveland took place on Oct.
29, 2021, weeks after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland released a
memo bringing together a coalition of federal and local law
enforcement to address alleged “threats of violence” against teachers
and school board members from unruly parents.

Garland has conceded that his memo was based in part on a September
2021 letter to President Joe Biden by the National School Boards
Association. The now-notorious letter characterized disruptions at
school board meetings as “a form of domestic terrorism and hate
crime,” and urged the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security and
the FBI to invoke counterterrorism laws to quell “angry mobs” of
parents, who sought to hold school officials accountable for promoting
CRT and for imposing COVID-19 restrictions such as mask mandates on
their children.

Jankowicz’s comments resurfaced as her new post, tasked with
addressing “disinformation that imperils the safety and security of
our homeland,” has generated much scrutiny. Many have since compared
the disinformation board to George Orwell’s fictional “Ministry of
Truth,” the main purpose of which was to rewrite history to manipulate
and control the population.

“The Biden administration wants a government agency dedicated to
cracking down on what its subjects can say, an idea popular with
Orwellian governments everywhere,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said in a
May 3 statement. “This board is unconstitutional and un-American.”

Cotton has introduced a proposal that would bar any federal funds from
going to the board. He was joined by 18 Republican senators as
co-sponsors.





During an appearance on CNN, FDA chief Dr. Robert Califf asserted that
the leading cause of death in the United States is online
“misinformation.”

Yes, really.

Califf spoke about his remarks during an interview with CNN’s Pamela
Brown, which were originally made at a health conference in Texas last
month when he said online misinformation was “now our leading cause of
death.”

After admitting that there was “no way to quantify this,” before
mentioning heart disease and cancer (actual killers), Califf went on
to bolster the claim anyway.

Claiming that there has been “an erosion of life expectancy,” Califf
went on to say that Americans were living an average of 5 years
shorter than people in other high income countries.

Califf said that anti-virals and vaccinations meant “almost no one in
this country should be dying from COVID,” before going on to explain
that there was also a “reduction in life expectancy from common
diseases like heart disease.”

“But somehow … the reliable, truthful messages are not getting
across,” he said, adding, “And it’s being washed down by a lot of
misinformation, which is leading people to make bad choices that are
unfortunate for their health.”

The FDA chief did not explain how ‘online misinformation’ was causing
more deaths from heart disease, but went ahead and made the claim
anyway without being challenged by the host.

As we have exhaustively highlighted, “online misinformation” is
indistinguishable from information the regime doesn’t like.

As we previously noted, the woman picked to head up the Department of
Homeland Security’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ said free speech makes her
“shudder” while also promoting the lie that the Hunter Biden laptop
story was Russian disinformation.

Nina Jankowicz also ludicrously cited Christopher Steele as an expert
on disinformation. Steele was the author of the infamous Clinton
campaign-funded Trump ‘peegate’ dossier’ that turned out to be an
actual product of disinformation.

The contrived moral panic over “misinformation” has become more
pronounced following Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, with CNN guests
recently complaining about how it might impact their monopoly on
controlling “the channels of communications.”
