MSNBC interviews Jankowicz

video at link

https://www.breitbart.com/clip...d-by-disinformation/

“All these sensationalized narratives about what people thought the board was going to do was completely wrong. It was a coordinating mechanism. It was meant to make sure that the very large agency that is the Department of Homeland Security, that people were talking to each other within it. Let me give you an example, FEMA, the agency that handles disasters and environmental issues, would often encounter misinformation about natural disasters. Let’s say an adversary like Iran or China would put out a false narrative like this is how you get out of the city, or this is where you can find disaster aid. That could put people really into danger, their lives into danger. That’s the sort of disinformation and misinformation that we were looking to support the department in addressing, to make sure they had best practices, and most importantly, to protect Americans’ freedom of speech, civil liberties, and privacy while we are doing all that work."

cause my number one worry is Iran putting out false info on where to find disaster aid (sarc)

"it’s kind of ironic that the board itself was taken over by disinformation when it was meant to fight it.”

probably Iran

“I’ve been a really nuanced, reasonable person"

now that is disinformation

That's what I wanted to see- her face after she resigned. Where's that weird-ass smirking smile, you commie witch?

Dressed in all black, looking like a Republican ran over her cat.

All her fabulous totalitarian dreams, crushed. Cool

This is just so very great.

Special thanks to all the news sources, shitposters, meme creators, and everyone else who helped ridicule, shame, and explain to people why this was a terrible idea from the start, much less with a known disinformation spreader in charge.

I'm absolutely loving her new job title:
FORMER head of the now defunct Disinformation Governance Board.

She’s also eager to shove you into a train car headed to a gulag, and as it pulls away from the station she’ll be shouting at you ruffians to use your inside voices.

Now Scary Poppins is crying that she's resigning from the Ministry of Truth because she's been getting death threats.

Yes, death threats- the ultimate in leftist victimhood.

Aside from being mis-gendered, that is.

So, now she's back to spreading disinformation for free as a private citizen again.

She claimed to have received emailed death threats. Let's see them. Either pony up or shut up. All total BS.

Pure WAG, but fairly certain the FBI actually will investigate a death threat made to a Federal official, especially when motivated by that official’s duties…

So, gonna need a bit more than just the truth tsar’s say so, to believe someone threatened her life…

I liked Doocy's question to the new press secretary / bullet points reader.

He asked something along the line of what's with the disinformation board?

"It's being paused because of the mischaracterization of what it is."

"So the Disinformation Board is being disbanded because of... disinformation?"

That was downright funny.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Yeah, and the new, clueless WH press secretary said of the Disinformation Board something to the effect of "We had nothing to do with that." Big Grin

This is so freaking satisfying Cool

And, really, if the DHS and the Biden administration wanted to give validity to their claims that this board was never intended to censor the speech of Americans, then they shot themselves in the foot by appointing an arrogant weirdo like Jankowicz to lead it. I mean, really- did they actually think there would be no push-back against some whack job like Jankowicz, who made many statements which could themselves be classified as disinformation"?

Yeah, it's kinda surprising that Little Miss Privileged didn't announce that "these threatening emails have been forwarded to the FBI" right off the bat, isn't it?

This I mark under the column of stupidity. It does bring a satisfying smile when they shoot themselves in the foot like that. Even better knowing that the only way they could have done that was to aim very carefully, focus on the front sight, and pull the trigger smoothly cuz they want to get things "right."

It looks like the Biden administration is tapping Michael Chertoff, a neo-con and co-author of the Patriot Act, to take over their Ministry of Truth. He also pushed the debunked claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation."

Yup, the work continues as John-Peter said or whatever the new press secretary's name is.

the spokesperson continued, "false attacks have become a significant distraction from the Department's vitally important work to combat disinformation that threatens the safety and security of the American people."

The board is now on hold awaiting a report and a review of strategy for how the department can combat disinformation effectively while still protecting civil liberties. That work will be handled by members of the recently revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council. The DHS said that former Secretary Michael Chertoff and former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick were tapped by Mayorkas to produce recommendations on the future of the group within 75 days.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

remember Jamie Gorelick ?

The Gorelick memo of 1995 erected a "wall" between counter-intelligence and law enforcement, which impeded investigation of al Qaeda in the run-up to the 9/11 attacks. Jamie Gorelick, then working as Deputy Attorney General under Janet Reno was author of the memo.

The wall was nominally created in response to the "legitimate fear that agents denied criminal warrants would gain information through the backdoor from their buddies working under FISA," [1] although evidence suggested that the wall was actually an attempt to stonewall then-ongoing investigations against Bill Clinton regarding the Chinagate fundraising scandal

Nina Jankowicz: I would have been balanced in Disinfo Board role, GOP criticism threatened ‘national security’

https://video.foxnews.com/v/63...744112#sp=show-clips

Former executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board Nina Jankowicz insisted in a new interview that she would have checked her politics "at the door" of her job and that criticism of her was a threat to "national security."

Jankowicz has been doing the media rounds since the Disinformation Governance Board was put on "pause" after widespread backlash to her and the board itself. She had a history of promoting multiple debunked theories, including that former President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election and that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian disinformation operation.

Jankowicz insisted to CBS News on Thursday that such criticisms and attacks were overblown and that she had committed to keeping her political views separate from her job at the head of DHS’ new project.

"Well, I have to say that there are 250,000 employees at the Department of Homeland Security, I was one of them, we all have different political inclinations and we all checked them at the door," she said.

She added, "As a political appointee, I was also subject to the Hatch Act, which limits my political activity and that’s something I took extremely seriously."

"I went there to protect those rights and serve the country of all Americans, regardless of political inclination," she said.

"And since I wasn’t adjudicating on what was true or false, but just trying to equip people with information they could use in issues of national security, you know, I don’t think that my political convictions really come into play here," she said, adding, "And as I said, I checked them at the door."

She accused Republicans of trying to "decontextualize a couple of tweets" in a career she called marked by reasonableness and bipartisanship.

"So I would point to those parts of my CV and my resume and not these tweets and parts of my personal life that have been picked on in this childish game in order to endanger our national security. That’s what’s going on here," she said.

______

HA! You whack bitch.

"Well, I have to say that there are 250,000 employees at the Department of Homeland Security, I was one of them, we all have different political inclinations and we all checked them at the door."

Yeah, 250,000 employees, but only one head of the Ministry of Truth. THAT is the difference, idiot- it is absolutely necessary to hold anyone in such a position to a far higher standard. And for you to call the push-back against you "childish" is beyond the pale. All one has to do is look at your online antics to see truly childish behavior, with all the mugging at the camera and show tunes and the rest of your fucking adolescent nonsense.

And "endanger our national security"? Woman, have you ever even heard of the Constitution? The First Amendment? "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech" Huh? You wanted to edit the tweets of individuals- the head of a Federal agency wanted to alter/suppress the comments of citizens, but you claim the purpose of this Orwellian entity was nothing like that. Your ideas about preserving national security clearly indicate that you could not/cannot be trusted, and what happened to you was the only right thing to come out of this entire shameful episode.
