Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ paused, Nina Jankowicz resigns; Wa-Po’s Lorenz blames ‘right-wing attacks’

Denying any partisan motivations behind the rollout of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Disinformation Governance Board — while President Joe Biden and Democrats actively challenge the right to free speech — the dubiously nicknamed “Ministry of Truth” has been put on pause after expressed concern, leaving the door wide open for further ridicule.

The Washington Post entered a meta state of irony Tuesday when they reported that the board would be shutting down faster than CNN+. In an article titled, “How the Biden administration let right-wing attacks derail its disinformation efforts,” anti-doxing doxer and woebegone victim Taylor Lorenz attempted to pin the immense backlash as “coordinated online attacks.”

As she has so expertly done for herself, Lorenz painted the would-be chair Nina Jankowicz as a hapless target caught in the crosshairs of right-wing hate as she hyped up the claims of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, who labeled Jankowicz as “eminently qualified.”

At no point was Jankowicz’s record of peddling disinformation herself covered — she had pushed the Russian collusion hoax against former President Donald Trump. Among other claims, she called Trump a puppet to Russian President Vladimir Putin, tweeting: “Trump is Pinocchio, but what if Putin is Geppetto?”

Those who reported that they would be the arbiters of truth seemed to struggle with coordinating communications from their own office as Lorenz detailed Big Brother’s fluxing position.

“Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being ‘paused,’ according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story,” she wrote. “On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution.”

“But Tuesday night,” Lorenz went on, “Jankowicz was pulled into an urgent call with DHS officials who gave her the choice to stay on, even as the department’s work was put on hold.”

A spokesperson for DHS was cited in defense of Jankowicz arguing, “Nina Jankowicz has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats. In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as eminently qualified and underscored the importance of the Department’s disinformation work, and he will continue to do so.”

The article went on to call the case being made against the very existence of the board a “textbook disinformation campaign” as it endeavored to hold a narrative that the right was following a “playbook and that it’s crucial that the public and leaders of institutions, especially in the government, the media and education bodies, understand more fully how these cycles operate.”

Lorenz claimed that by not responding “with a highly compelling counternarrative, or not getting out ahead of these campaigns to being with” is what led to the failings. Citing Mark Jacobson, assistant dean at Syracuse University who researched propaganda and disinformation for 30 years, the article pinned the effort to maintain a positive narrative on the DGB “amateur hour.”

Of course, the reality is what it is and Americans who care about the First Amendment need to be on the lookout should DHS attempt to restart this program in a similar or varied capacity.

  1. “In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as eminently qualified ….”

    Congressional hearings revealed he knew nothing about her. No one else was even interviewed for the job. The Ministry of Truth was made just for “the Mary Poppins of Disinformation.” Check out her credentials online. She’s a communist Russia-lover. Even democrats were against the plan.

  2. I will admit and verify that the Right did use a playbook to defeat this government overreach. It was called the US Constitution!!!

  3. Since when is freedom of speech and thought “right-wing?” Since when did liberals oppose freedom?

  4. Man, there must be something REALLY BAD out there that the R’s haven’t seen yet if she resigned because oF her nitwit stuFF!!

  5. Yes, we conservatives raised a ruckus and got them to back off with no looting, arson, riots, road blocking, etc. And all because this woman is loony toons. We are truly deplorable – and proud of it.

  6. the communists are realizing free people don’t really want communism…

  7. Maybe someone on the Left actually found out the definitions of truth and disinformation and it really scared them.

  8. “Right-Wing Attacks” = American patriotic citizens of all races, parties, creeds, and ages objecting to “Big-Brother-ism” by the Dems.

  9. “Nina Jankowicz has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats.”

    So has the SCOTUS. Now STFU

  10. Who decides what is disinformation and the truth? Are Americans so stupid that we need to be spoon fed crap by our government. That’s how Hitler and Mussolini took control of their countries. Propaganda is Propaganda, no matter who says it. Ronny is right, there are no temporary government programs! Government surveillance without due process is a violation of the government’s duty to protect its citizens as outlined in the Constitution! The duty of our citizens is to see the government does not exceed its authority and control over us
    . This is not yet the time to consider starting over!

    1. They also wanted to be able to edit tweets. Just who the hell do they think they are? We as Americans are not going to put up with this.

  11. It looks like the “woke” actually woke up and realized putting such a board into operation , even with an idiot in charge, was akin to committing suicide. And lawsuits, oh the lawsuits, I doubt that all the Biden family corruption would cover the cost.

  12. Since they called her and said she could stay on, just THAT board was temporarily dissolved, says all. They’ll still do it without any announcements. Project Veritas will be busy.

  13. Let the Washington Post blame the right wing (conservatives) for shutting down Puppet Biden’s Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Disinformation Governance Board. I hold that as a badge of honor proving conservatives stand up for our Constitution, the Bill of Rights and our God given freedom and liberty. Obviously no Democrat politician except maybe Joe Manchin, Krysten Sinema and Texas US Representative Henry Cuellar which is why the Democrat Party is targeting all three of them.

  14. No doubt they’ve decided instead to ramp up Langley’s system of “monitoring” of everyone’s cell phone and online activity.

  15. The sad part is that the left wing did not also oppose the ministry of truth.
    Do they think that the left will stay in control forever?

    1. Yes they do because they think they can rig it to be that way as they did in 2020. The only thing is WE are on to their tactics and are no longer going to be forced into voting by mail.

      1. Everyone needs to vote in person on Election Day. Rush tried to tell everyone that is how you win. NO MORE DROPBOXES.

  16. Don’t let your guard down, this bunch is retooling and reloading for another run. Never lose your thirst for the truth for it will truleu set you free.

  17. IF YOU BELIEVE. that any govt agency PAUSES then you are naive

    “Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.”
    ― Ronald Reagan

  18. This has all been a joke from the beginning. Poor little girl got everything she deserved. This needs to be put in file 13 real quick.

  19. She was whining that she’s the victim of verbal abuse…..she’s a fricking nut case!!!

  20. We get it, anytime it is pointed out they are lying it’s disinformation. We are all on to your tricks. How about a fair election. If left spent half the amount of time finding a decent Living human to run instead of cheating America might just win.

  21. Strange how the unbiased msm didn’t report on her obvious lies/conflict of interest. Hmmm

  22. I’m sure there’s a job waiting for Nina at MSDNC or CNN.
    Let’s not celebrate just yet. It’s just being paused.

    1. I agree, but the White House had another concern and the author missed it: the midterms. The timing couldn’t be worse for leveraging gov’t-sponsored censorship. And still another problem; it isn’t just the “Right”; Heartland Liberals oppose it as well.

  23. It’s a laughable argument how any government entity can claim to be an arbiter of the truth.

    What’s even more laughable is how Democrats, whose whole history has been that of utter incompetence, dishonesty, and corruption, can claim to be arbiters of truth.

    But the icing on the cake is how Jankowicz managed to turn the whole thing into a cartoon and a parody of itself. What a lunatic.

  24. Thank God we don’t ever have to listen to this little Mary Poppins here sing again !!!
    A complete, unqualified, total FOOL.. The best they had I guess !!
    It looks like , Maybe.. We have had enough , America !

  25. Poor little baby, Jankowicz — did you get your wittle feewings hurt because people were telling the truth about you?? One more example of the consistent dispicable choices the White House squatter’s puppeteers make! Bye bye, Janie — hasn’t been nice to know you!! 🙄🖐

  26. So….is she going to jail? Probably leaving to get a higher paying job as a private political prostitute.
