Biden Administration Creates Its Own Ministry of Truth
The recent creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board” has raised more than a few eyebrows. And rightly so: The board is eerily similar to the Ministry of Truth from Orwell’s 1984, and it is the creation of the Department of Homeland Security — a department so deeply Deep State that it nearly defines the term.
The creation of the board was announced on May 27, when DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas was answering questions before congression-al lawmakers. Invoking the bogeyman of alleged previous “Russian interference” in the 2020 elections, Representative Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) asked the DHS chief what DHS was doing to prevent “misinformation” from skewing the 2022 midterms. Mayorkas answered, “We have just established a disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat, not only to election security but to our homeland security.”
The timing is highly questionable, not only coming as Democrats prepare for what many expect to be a thorough trouncing in the midterms — due largely to voter response to Biden’s disastrous policies — but also coinciding with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. Musk’s promise to transform Twitter into a “free speech” platform where conservatives will no longer be censored has been met on the Left with dire predictions of the “end of democracy.” Democrats — it appears — believe “democracy” can only prevail when conservatives are routinely silenced in the public square.
