Jen Psaki on Friday twice claimed that the Biden administration\u2019s Orwellian and ominous new Disinformation Governance Board isn\u2019t really new at all, and in fact, was started not by Old Joe or his DHS hatchet man, Alejandro Mayorkas, but by one Donald J. Trump. Psaki delivered this whopper with a clear tone of <em>What are all you racist, redneck, MAGA-hat wearing yahoos getting all upset about? This was all your guy\u2019s idea<\/em>. She offered no evidence, and there doesn\u2019t seem to be any for her to have offered.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki said this under question from Fox\u2019s Jacqui Heinrich, who noted that both Mayorkas and Psaki had expressed some unfamiliarity with the <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/robert-spencer\/2022\/04\/29\/call-me-the-mary-poppins-of-disinformation-dig-the-disinformation-czarinas-cringeworthy-disinfo-ditty-n1593908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bizarre fascist<\/a> who will be heading up the Ministry of Truth, Nina Jankowicz. Heinrich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/lauren-boebert-defund-disinformation-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked<\/a> Psaki, \u201cHow was she hired if you and the White House are not familiar with her and Mayorkas is not familiar with her statements? What\u2019s the process for, um, putting her into a position like this, and who\u2019s in charge of hiring her?\u201d Indeed \u2014 although it\u2019s clear that Jankowicz, who bills herself on her <a href=\"https:\/\/wiczipedia.com\/about-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> as \u201can internationally-recognized expert on disinformation,\u201d is an enthusiastic proponent of government censorship who has been preparing for this job for her entire professional life.<\/p>\n<p>She then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/lauren-boebert-defund-disinformation-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> into a potted history of Jankowicz\u2019s career:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Well, let me give you a sense of who she is. She\u2019s an expert on online disinformation. She was formerly in the Wilson Center as disinforma\u2013 she was formerly a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center. She\u2019s testified before Congress, as well as the United Kingdom and European Parliament, advised a Ukrainian foreign minister, particularly relevant in this moment, under the auspices of a Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and overseeing Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. Any hiring decisions are up to the Department of Homeland Security, but this is a person with extensive qualifications. What I will tell you about the, um, Board and what the Board is doing, this is a continuation of work that began at the Department of Homeland Security in 2020 under former President Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Heinrich followed up with a question about Jankowicz\u2019s video in which she tells people not to vote for those who supposedly spread \u201cdisinformation,\u201d and Psaki responded by claiming again that the Board was \u201cagain, a continuation of the work of the former president, so for anyone who\u2019s critical of it, I don\u2019t \u2013 I didn\u2019t hear them being critical of the work under the former president, which is just interesting to note contextually.\u201d She went on to explain that the Board would fight \u201cmisinformation spread by human smugglers,\u201d which she said was work begun in the Trump administration, and added semi-coherently: \u201cThis is also work, um, that is helping to, uh, address unauthorized terrorism, other threats, and see how disinformation and misinformation is being pushed to lead, uh, to increase those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/columns\/robert-spencer\/2022\/04\/30\/will-the-freedom-of-speech-survive-n1594066\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Will the Freedom of Speech Survive?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now wait a minute.

If the Board is new, it\u2019s not a continuation of a Trump administration initiative. Mayorkas\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnsnews.com\/article\/washington\/cnsnewscom-staff\/mayorkas-says-biden-administration-creating-disinformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed this<\/a> on Thursday, saying: \u201cWe have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security.\u201d He didn\u2019t say anything about continuing work begun during the Trump administration, either.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it\u2019s a matter of simple common sense. Imagine if the Trump administration really had established some entity that was meant to combat \u201cdisinformation.\u201d Amid all the Left\u2019s hysterical propaganda about Trump being a \u201cfascist\u201d who was bent on destroying \u201cour democracy,\u201d do you really think that we would only be hearing fifteen months after Trump left office that he had established a board to police speech? The news would have been shouted from every rooftop. Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter and Rachel Maddow would have spent weeks warning us about this threat to \u201cour democracy,\u201d while the <em>New York Times<\/em> and <em>Washington Post<\/em> would have run feature after feature about how authoritarian rulers always claim that speech that opposes their agenda is \u201cdisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Search the net for \u201cDisinformation Governance Board,\u201d and all you\u2019ll find are stories about this new Board that Biden\u2019s handlers have just created. If there is any truth in Psaki\u2019s claims, and there is no indication that there is, the Trump-era entity went by another name and was so far from being a Ministry of Truth or a Thought Police that not even the Leftist media, always avid for anything they could hang around Trump\u2019s neck, made anything of it. It strains credulity well beyond the breaking point. Ms. Psaki, you have been found guilty of disinformation. Please report to Ms. Jankowicz for reeducation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is this some of that disinformation the Biden administration is talking about?
