What a fucking joke -- that this person is now running a so-called "anti-disinformation" Board inside the Department of Homeland Security.

Not one of these outlets that spread this CIA lie with the purpose of manipulating the election outcome - not one! - has acknowledged the proof of authenticity, let alone retracted.

This has been a long time coming. The unelected bureaucracy can’t tolerate free speech and dissent from the U.S government’s official position. Factor in the abysmal performance of the MSM to amplify the official line, the bureaucrats must borrow an idea from Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al., to try to hold onto power.
They need their BEST liar to head their Ministry of Truth. Surprised it isn't Obama.
Ms. Jankowicz is so obviously and comically unsuited for this 'truth' position that she must have been placed out as a symbol and/or bait. She's a pawn being used by those in the shadows behind the throne, perhaps to generate support among blind leftist supporters.
A similar thing happened when Biden nominated gun control activist David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). Chipman went down in flames, but Biden confirmed his "support" for strong and aggressive gun control. Or, some other useless virtue signal, even as thousands of people continue to die because of a fixation on ineffective policies.
We are watching the birth of the green-woke religion. Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, Chipman, Jankowicz will be enshrined as saints in a couple hundred years. Their portraits will line the walls of an eco-sphere cathedral.

There are a handful of heroes appearing and they come from different parts of the political landscape. Greenwald, Taibbi, Sinema, Musk, DeSantis, Alex Berenson, Rogan, Rand Paul, Tucker and I would include Trump, though others may argue that point.
Each one has taken a stand against the cabal, elite, clerisy or whatever you want to call them. They each have different issues and come from different parts of the spectrum and society but they all have stopped totalitarian progress in it's tracks. At least for now.
None are saints, of course, but none are taking the easy way out.

I would dispute that "the security state ghouls" "lie more than anyone". Specifically, I doubt that they lie more than the mercenary fabulists at the NYT, who gag and choke when the truth tries to pass their lips.
These are the last gasps of a clueless dying illegitimate regime.
Let us hope they go quietly and let us have our country back.
Although I personally don’t mind if they cling to their illegitimate claim of power to the death either.
"None are saints"
Please let us know when you find a "saint" in the political world.
"anti-disinformation".......They also considered "Auntie Miss Information", but they thought that Joe might just shorten that to "Kamala".
If you read the letter used to justify calling the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation, the authors want to emphasize that they have NO evidence that it is Russian disinformation. Of course, they bury that fact in paragraph 5 or so. The whole purpose of the document was to fly cover for Biden.
‘These are the last gasps of a clueless dying illegitimate regime.‘
Agreed. The left is currently at YOLO: you only live once. The middle and right have (finally) had enough, and are at FAFO: fuck around and find out.
More Greenwald:
"The worst, most egregious and most nefarious official US disinformation campaign in years was the pre-election CIA lie that the authentic Biden emails were "Russian disinformation."
It was led by liberal outlets: CNN, Politico/Natasha Bertrand, HuffPost, Mother Jones, Intercept."
Still no apology from those lying liars who lie.
These are just bureaucrats "protecting people from disinformation," according to Tater and his guest. No one but the Fox News far right wackos could object to that. Arendt was right: banal intellects are the best spreaders of the evil totalitarian creed.
They are fucking jokes, but these people are running the Biden Admin, the FBI, the CIA, the MSM, Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the major philanthropic foundations funding the Prog Left, and they are dead serious about their mission.
Curious... Gonna vote for Hillary if she runs in 2024?
She can taste and smell the cheat and lie machine that gave us Potemkin Joe.
Col. Jessup: THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
I agree that this is a last gasp, Hail Mary attempt but it shows desperation. Desperate people do unwise things. They even do things that may not be in their own best interest. If they stole 2020, they crossed a Rubicon already. I worry about what comes next from these folks. They've already slid down the slippery graft slope and you can bet that they can feel the pit in the stomach that comes from losing influence, status and, in some circumstances, disgrace and jail. Is it too much to believe that they goad Russia into a tactical nuke as a major distraction, under the premise that we will rally around Joe? Even though I don't think that rallying will occur, desperation may trump reason.
There's nothing in the name of that group that indicates that it will fight against disinformation as opposed to spreading it.
James Clapper was a partisan hack.
When Hillary Clinton was declaring that all 17 of the USA's Intelligence agencies agreed that Russia was interfering in the USA's 2016 Presidential election, Clapper knew that her declaration was false.
Clapper was the Director of National Intelligence, and so he knew that a National Intelligence Estimate had not been done.
Clapper could have issued a clarification informing the public that, in fact, all 17 agencies had not agreed on that question.
However, Clapper remained silent, because he was just a political hack.
Although his title was Director of National Intelligence, he did not serve our entire nation. Rather, he served only the Democrat Party.
Can we stop with the disinformation and misinformation crap? How come we're only hearing about it for the last 5-6 years? There is only truth and lies. There is no Anti-fact. Or Information that's "dis". Of course, the dumb Center-right falls into the trap and accepts the idea of "Disinformation" and that we need to look out for it. We don't need to do that - we didn't before and we don't need to start.
I am 64 years old. I have worked building missiles guidance, tomahawk, javelins etc and extremely proud to do so. I have been a rabid pro American for most of those 64 years.
Right now, the biggest enemy for me and my children are that government. I no longer trust a single organization in the government to be honest about anything. ANYTHING.
It makes me so sad. There will have to be a very bad reckoning to clean out the rotten shit in Washington.
The left are so married to their lie - they call anyone or anything that points back at their corruption as RUSSIAN DIS-INFORMATION!"
The liars and frauds even threw Tulsi, a strong and smart democrat candidate (tho someone they cannot control) under their BS Russian bus.
and now - as luck would have it - Putin went to war under Biden's watch.
The fact that this job exists is bad enough. That they filled the job with a comic book super villain whom the YouTuber Viva Frei to as “Scary Poppins” just makes it more disturbing.
Just before these 51 Intelligence officers left their high positions, they were issuing findings that Russia interfered significantly in our 2016 Presidential election.
Later, during our 2020 Presidential election, these same partisan hacks were declaring that the news about Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
Those 51 former Intelligence officers always said whatever they thought would discredit Donald Trump and would help the Democrat Party.
That partisan motivation was their main basis for their "findings" in 2016 and likewise for their declaration in 2020.
That partisan motivation was their main reason for allowing Hillary Clinton to declare -- without evidence or contradiction -- that all 17 of the USA's Intelligence agencies agreed that Russia was interfering in the 2016 election.
Those 51 Intelligence officers were a core part of the USA's Deep State.
Fuck. These. People.
This is so blatantly stupid I wonder if there aren't saboteurs in the WH?

Don't rule Barack out just yet: "Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, a Hawaii Democrat, took another swing at President Joe Biden Saturday, accusing him of being a "front man" for former President Barack Obama and attacking him for his administration's new Disinformation Governance Board, which critics have dubbed the dystopian name "the Ministry of Truth.""

I dunno....I tend to think they're just getting started. Now they're just being open about what they're doing. I suppose that could be a step in the right direction -- letting your enemy show themselves, etc. -- but I have a feeling they're being open about it because they think they can get away with it.
"Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom," then cut the fuckers off at the knees.
Since Trump is Putin's biggest cheerleader whom personally laid the groundwork to weaken Ukraine and NATO while fomenting the violent overthrow of the US presidential election, the Russian collusion reports have been proved true beyond all doubt.

Yes, this is about Trump who did the impossible and overthrew the increasingly oppressive regime set up by the Clintons and Obama. I am very close to including the Bushes in that swamp buggy. The BLM riots in 2020 were to intimidate anyone who would question that fraudulent election .
Howard, take your meds.

Well...at least 2020 was the most secure election in history. I know because all of the experts tell me so. Sure they also told me Russia Russia Russia was real, that Hunter's laptop was fake, that the Benghazi attack was due to an obscure bad video never before seen by anyone, that our nation's greatest danger is patriotic White people, that masks make all the difference, that they make no difference, that we need to lock down, that we need to open up, that one shot is good, but 3-4 is even better, that you can keep your doctor and your insurance- if you can find them once we get through with this system, that we're cutting gas and oil production to save the planet, but we have no qualms about begging those who hate us for more gas and oil, that we didn't run guns to Mexico, then we did, but we didn't run guns to the Mexican cartels, then we did, that Joe Biden didn't take money from the Ukrainians, Russians, and Chinese.
At least I can believe them when it comes to the election of 2020.
They don't call it The Swamp for nothing. Trump wasn't just right. He was dangerously right about so much of what he spoke about. I give this Nina Jankowicz until November before she's shown the door. That they would even create this department should ensure they are all shown the door.
Michael K- One could argue that 90% of our issues today are Bush related. Sr. Bush (and Clinton) pushed for China to be included in the WTO. Jr Bush didn't help with his Middle East policy. And no child left behind got the Feds into a local issue too deeply. In fairness, arguments could have been made for both policies and it's no crime to be well intentioned but wrong. What I don't like is the lack of humility in acknowledging a mistake of judgement. Oh, and also the fact that both men made serious money from those choices as well.
The Obama-Hillary Russian Reset button. Obama will have more flexibility with Russians after he beats Romney. Memory hole.

This is what adolescent panic looks like.
And it comes on the heels of Howard and Friends failed attempts to codify and enable the castration of 6 year olds to serve democratical political ends.
This may delay the musical she's wanting to write.

I can't imagine it so why don't you tell us about it ?
Maybe she will have a musical alert of investigation via robocall.

Howard,
"Since Trump is Putin's biggest cheerleader"
He did say nice things about him on several occasions. I wished he wouldn't.
"whom [?] personally laid the groundwork to weaken Ukraine"
by providing lethal aid the Obama administration had refused
"and NATO"
by twisting Germany's arm to pay their bills, and trying to stop them building a new pipeline for Russian natural gas....
I don't expect a response beyond insult. Neither do I get how Putin was so lucky, beyond shallow flattery and moral-equivalence rhetoric, to have Trump in the White House.
Russian tradecraft.
Are we engaged in daytime procrastination craft or just diversion craft?
I can't imagine it so why don't you tell us about it ?

That is just so wrong.
The worstest, most egregiousest and most nefariousest official US government agency was the FBI. The CIA comes in 3rd, behind the DoJ.
IF we had REAL Journalists they would have reported on this....but as usual, Hunter Bidens Foreign collusion is off limits....

Obama wasn't the genius his fans said he was but he isn't stupid enough to appoint Nina. People want to believe Obama must be behind everything, because it couldn't be Good Ol' Uncle Joe, but things like this indicate that nobody is actually running things. Nobody is there to reject the bad ideas and try to fix the things the administration has screwed up. Whatever comes across Klain's desk gets accepted so long as it's not seen as backing down or reversing direction. Biden only learns what his policies are after they are packaged for him by his handlers. Obama is off somewhere enjoying his privileged new life and laughing.
Oh. The New York Post ran a story about it. NOBODY else as of yet. They are the masters of disinformation, or NO INFORMATION at all. If they don't report it, it never happened??
Anyone else wonder why after all the lies have been exposed, why does Howard and the rest still claim that Trump is good friends with Putin?
I mean, why would he be?
“Evil Right Wing Hitler Trump wants to be best friends with Putin who wants to bring back communist Soviet Union!” Really? Why would the most “right wing evil person in history” want to bring back the Soviet Union?
It’s not like Hitler and Stalin were good buddies there, ya know?
I don't intend this response to pick on the writer of this, but on the specific point of it:
Ms. Jankowicz is so obviously and comically unsuited for this 'truth' position
No one is really suited for such a position, and we should be wary of anyone who thinks they can assume the mantle of determining what is 'truth'. Ms. Jankowicz is ideally suited for what is actually a political position meant to manipulate and push one version of the 'truth'. Honest people recognize that there are two sides of a story. In fact, it used to be a tenet of journalism school that there are always at least two sides to a story.
I fear we will lose this battle by arguing about Jankowicz's qualifications. We can and should mock her assumption of balance and unbiased. However, we need to fight like hell to make sure all of Washington DC realizes that this new 'board' is unacceptable and intolerable. The board is the problem regardless of who heads it up.
Two fish, one jig. Always deploy the trailing treble hook.

Sorry, I reacted more to Howard's usual snark.
You know what the whole "Putin's cock-holster" thing is about? Trump didn't want this war. Of course they couldn't say "Trump doesn't want war with Russia," because people would have agreed with him, so they made up a "dossier" on Trump, which McCain, who is on video cheering on the Nazis and promising them weapons, 'leaked' to the press, a more correct term would have been 'fed' to the press.
The war machine then abused the Patriot Act to spy on Carter Page, who also opposed the war, and called its friends in the press to blast non stop anti-Putin propaganda for five years, attacking Putin, and tying Trump to him, with nary a shred of evidence, which didn't matter to either the press or to the prosecutors who were in the tank for the war party.
Now here we are. Isn't this war great? It would have been such a shame to avoid it! The beautiful thing about it is that they managed to co-opt the left into coming the war party. All the Neocons are Democrats now, W voted for Hillary and Biden, and so did Cheney.
They have played the Howards of the world like a fiddle, stroking his ego the whole time, making him feel like he has reasoned himself into this position where he supports a war, making him feel superior for supporting war with Russia. No way enough Russian soldiers will ever die to avenge Hillary's loss.
My favorite new Howard-ism is Hitler was a free speech absolutist.
The lefties really do believe that is a winning narrative for them.
"Trump's Chilling Ties to the Kremlin!"
FU Hillary. Drop dead.
"All the Neocons are Democrats now, W voted for Hillary and Biden, and so did Cheney."
Yes.
Wait 'til the starvation this war is going to cause really bites. The food production mechanism of the planet already has a gash below the waterline. Russia and Ukraine are the breadbaskets of europe, Russia provides the lion's share of fertilzers worldwide, and modern grains are bred, or engineered, to maximize production based on high fertilizer inputs, and as inputs drop, production drops off fast. The global south is going to fill with anti-American resentment, which China will exploit.
Don't let the assholes tell you that it's wrong to be for peace and a quick negotiated settlement of this conflict.
Funny thing, you know who really turned me around from a rah rah cheering on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to questioning them all, as I do now? Ritmo. How does he feel about this war? I don't want to believe he is for it, but I bet his is. Propaganda is insidious.
They seriously remind me of kids playing in grown up roles- dressing the part, taking the part- but, something isn’t right. They’re all frenetically excited: gleeful. Recreating Harry Potter in real time.
Can we go from 2984 to Harry Potter like this?
It’s stranger than fiction.
One thing I would like to see and have not is some discussion of her ethnicity and any connections she might have to Ukraine.
We know she did work for Ukraine as a consultant. Does she have deeper connections? Family connections?
Ukraine seems to be ground zero for corruption with a lot of it spilling into the US. We have the Vindemans, 2 army and one money man. We have Natalie Jaresko, former finance minister (Is she still a Ukraine citizen? Did she become an American again?)
We have Joe Biden bragging about getting a prosecutor who was looking into his son fired ("If he's not fired before I get on the plane in 2 hours, you're not getting the $10billion" Quoting from memory)
We have scores of $billions going to Ukraine. $33 billion in the last tranche, with no accountability for where it goes. How much is come back here to line insider pockets.
We need fewer, not more Ukrainians in our govt and NGOs.
If her name as Smith, or Rodriguez, or Woo I would not be asking about her background and connections.
Jankowicz is not exactly a Ukranian name. One surname site I looked at the other day said it was most commonly from the Poelisi region of Poland of Ukrainian/Ruthenian origin.
Yeah, I am paranoid about Ukrainians in the US (and Puerto Rico). No question there. My only question is whether my paranoia is unreasonable.

No it wasn't. Not according to Joe Biden. Remember a few months ago when he said that it would be impossible to have free and fair elections without the voting bill?
Remember when he told us that for 200+ years the US has not had free and fair electiions because we had never had this election bill in the past?

There are a handful of heroes appearing and they come from different parts of the political landscape. Greenwald, Taibbi
Interestingly, both Greenwald's and Taibbi's (as well as Jim Treacher's) Substacks are down at the moment. Hm.
"Did she become an American again?)"
Yes.
Don't forget the Ukrainian Deputy Prime minister of Canada who was behind the, now known to be illegal, freezing of the bank accounts of waitresses and auto mechanics who gave small amounts to the Truckers Convoy when it was perfectly legal for them to do so.
Truth is messy. It is not merely that there are two sides to every story, but that life can be so convoluted that we can't even figure out the truth. Information is not always available. In science differing theories or explanations can take decades to decide between. When sea floor spreading (plate tectonics) was first proposed, the Geological Society of America officially opposed it and proposed absurd things like missing land bridges to explain away the facts supporting it. This went on for years. Einstein could never fully accept quantum mechanics. Ambiguity is something we will never banish.
