In his opening monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson outlined the latest Dept of Homeland Security agency, the “Disinformation Governance Board,” and the head of the social media control agency, Nina Jankowicz. WATCH:
BACKGROUND – Previously the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced a new Dept of Homeland Security priority to combat disinformation {LINK} on technology platforms including social media.
Many eyebrows were raised as the announcement appeared to be an open admission that the U.S. government was going to control information by applying labels… that would align with allies in social media…. who need a legal justification for censorship and content removal.
This CISA announcement was quickly followed by various government officials and agencies saying it was critical to combat Russian disinformation, as the events in Ukraine unfolded. In essence, Ukraine was the justification for search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, and social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to begin targeting information and content that did not align with the official U.S. government narrative.
Previously those same methods were deployed by the U.S. government, specifically the CDC and FDA, toward COVID-19 and the vaccination program. All of this background aligns with the previous visibility of a public-private partnership between the bureaucracy of government, the U.S. intelligence agencies and U.S. social media. That partnership now forms the very cornerstone of the DHS/CISA effort to control what information exists in the public space. It is highly important that people understand what is happening.
In July of 2021 the first admission of the official agenda behind the public-private partnership was made public {Reuters Article}.
What we are seeing now is an extension of the government control mechanisms, combined with a severe reaction by all stakeholders to the latest development in the Twitter takeover.
For two years the control mechanisms around information have been cemented by govt and Big Tech. Even the deployment of the linguistics around disinformation, misinformation and malinformation is all part of that collective effort. The collaboration between the government and Big Tech is not a matter for debate, it is all easily referenced by their own admissions. The current issue is how they are deploying the information controls.
We have COVID-19, the vaccination effort and now Ukraine as examples of the collaboration to control information, to control what people are permitted to question and discuss on the internet. Now things are getting much more detailed, and more alarming.
Shortly after Elon Musk made a bid to purchase a single information platform, Twitter, and then expressed his intent to open the speech valves, former Obama administration intelligence officials wrote a letter {SEE HERE} warning about efforts to break up the information control by Big Tech and Social Media.
That letter was shortly followed by a speech delivered by Obama himself where he specifically demanded that government take a larger role in the control of information {LINK}, essentially promoting an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth’ to control information in the public sphere.
The internet search engine operators have already agreed to align with the interests of the government. That’s not debatable as in the examples of Google {LINK) and DuckDuckGo {LINK} to name just two. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube have famously also expressed their intent to align with the control of information, based on the instructions and edicts of the same U.S. government agencies. Again, this is not a conspiratorial claim, it is self admitted and we have all witnessed it.
Today, however, we are seeing the architecture of how they plan to organize the tools.
(POLITICO) – “DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.” (link)
You can read more about Nina Jankowicz and her ideological alignment with the control mechanisms here and here. The bigger picture issue is that DHS will now work around any independence of social media, vis-a-vis Twitter as a free speech platform, by defining the parameters of allowed conversation. A bureaucratic board within DHS will now serve as the group who defines what can and cannot be discussed.
Here’s Ms. Jankowicz in September of 2020. The head of the DHS governance board, Nina Jankowicz, claiming that color revolutions are an appropriate response to rigged elections, but they will never rise in the U.S. WATCH:
It doesn’t take a deep thinker to see exactly where this is going. Various U.S. government agencies will now define their interests. The definitions will then be transmitted to the officers within big tech and social media, and any entity who dares to challenge that govt definition or govt narrative will be targeted for content removal.
Permitted speech will be defined by government agencies, and the mechanisms for controlling, targeting or removing speech that challenges that narrative will now lead to content removal. The shift here, the part that must be emphasized, is the official justification in the terms and conditions of the social media platform operators will come from U.S. government agencies, not the platform itself.
Against this backdrop it is not a surprise why Elon Musk’s entry into the information space is now considered a risk.
…”The 2016 U.S. presidential election and the Brexit vote that same year gave Silicon Valley executives, U.S. elected officials and the public a peek into what can go wrong when social media companies opt not to wade too deeply into what people say on their sites.”… (link)

On the positive side, CTH 2.0 was built with precisely this big tech censorship and targeting prediction at the forefront of our assembly.
The proprietary tech and networks we put into place, and the layers within it, are designed to make this website antifragile. This includes the optimized features that crossover to mobile devices. Over 94% of CTH traffic does not come from or through any internet search engine.
CTH was built to be a lighthouse, a fortified bunker visible to the outside and yet not fragile to any threat from systems under the control of big tech or any corporate entity. Many websites are constructed and assembled for maximum reach. As a result the architecture is built with a different set of priorities. That’s not us.
This is our labor of love, always has been. The truth has no agenda.
CTH is fortified so the beacon can always broadcast. It doesn’t make us flashy, fancy or filled with technology that many may prefer. The structure is counterintuitive to almost every tech engineer. However, it provides security and guaranteed impenetrable user privacy for you and all our ragtag misfit friends in the Rebel Alliance.
In essence, with the ten years of experience that preceded CTH 2.0, we built it for the battle we always knew would loom….
….. And here we are.

All these idiots are so impressed with themselves. That song is something you should never be able to come back from, yet here she is, our new minister of disinformation. These positions don’t turn out so well in the end,…usually.
I can’t thank you enough for all you do. God bless you.
Sundance you are a God send, thank you Jesus!
Too late folks… The DHS was cheered into existence by Republicans, now we wanna blame the obvious results on the other party?
Many of us could see this coming like a freight train in 2002 when Republicans cheered the legalization of domestic spying.
Gotta get those Muslims!!! Go deep state go!!!
Basically……..it was both parties that brought us the DHS Dev. Post 9-11.
When they had that 2,000 page disgustingly named Patriot Act (Treason Act) ready to go 5 minutes after the twin towers went down I knew something was terribly wrong. And when they kept our borders wide open that confirmed the con. So much about 911 does not pass the smell test.
Nor should it. It was an inside job.
10 years ago I would have thought you were a loon, now I’m beginning to think 9-11 was a set up for what is going on now.
What I can’t reconcile is the poison death shot. I just can’t get past genocide.
People have casually dismissed mRNA injections as a “choice.” Since when is snuffing out humanity a “choice,” like what to have for dinner tonight?
Hard to tell if quid pro Joe or Nina are even humans anymore. There’s no putting this genie back in the bottle.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution

protects the right of the people to Religion and Expression.
As ratified by the States:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment

How does Section 230 shield Face Book from lawsuits & why changes by Congress are needed.
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of … any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.

LOL when did these assholes ever let the constitution stop them from doing anything? These Skull and Bone Khazarian CFR Trilateral’s have been running the country for decades now.

The old ways are still often the best
Loved the RedFrost motivational on COURAGE. It was music to my ears and warmth for my heart. TY!
I felt like many of you—that we’re losing this fight but when I feel like that, I listen to X22, Rainer Steppe. I believe we’ll win in ‘22 if we ignore the DS and their propaganda and VOTE! By staying home, we let them win. Remember we have the Constitution behind us! Do not give in—every conservative must vote.
I don’t feel like we’re losing the fight. They’re spilling this out now and getting sloppy. No time to waste to make up for the 4 years with Trump.
Wait until that CA gas tax hits in July and they lose CA too.
Heard of a site relevant to your request…
Who’s counting.us
Take a look!
I’ve seen this asked in the comments but I am truly interested in hearing from those with expertise in this area. How is this constitutional? In my mind it is another form of book burning. Don’t like what was printed in my book? Throw it on the burn pile. Don’t like what is posted on Twitter? Ban that tweet. I assume that this can be fought in the courts, but how would that work? Could one banned user initiate an action?
I am sure the details are still being worked out but what happens when the Ministry identifies mis/disinformation? Will Twitter, Facebook, et al, be required to take it down? Will they be fined? I thought they had immunity. Or will the original source of the information be the target and what will happen to them?
Will the Washington Post, NYTime, NPR, talk radio shows, and podcasts be subjected to the same scrutiny? If not, why not? They are all forms of communication with interaction from the public and are potential sources of mis/disinformation, in which case, all media will be effectively run by the government. Why would individuals and money managers invest in companies that are not really private companies?
Frankly, I have never understood the attraction of social media, but then I do not participate in it. I don’t feel that my life is any worse off by staying outside the mainstream. Someone on this site once explained that as an elected official or business person, it is imperative to participate. I would encourage everyone who feels that way to take a second look at how necessary it is to be on these platforms. If masses of users suddenly quit, the value of these entities would plummet (see Netflix as an example). How delicious would it be if the government suddenly had nothing to regulate!
Yes its a digital book burning , but thats just the start . This is a tool , a broad brush to smear anyone who commits ” THOUGHT CRIME ” , that’s whatever they say it is , usually anything that makes the radical leftist look bad or foolish ( MOCK THEM ).
Once labeled as a ‘ wrong-thinker ‘ , the enforcement arm is deployed ” to protect the collective “.
You will be hunted , and the MINORITY REPORT pre-crime units will say — ” we think they were going to do XYZ due to our expert review of the things that deplorable person said ”
Everyone talks about 1984 , fair enough , but lets not ignore BRAVE NEW WORLD . John The Savage chose to live outside the wire rather than CONFORM to the Grand Inquisitors demands to be part of his ” utopia “.
See you all outside the wire. 🙂
Or, as some say, “see you on the other side.”
In a word, it is not constitutional. As an attorney specializing in First Amendment defense, this department is a paradigm of government censorship. But I would want either written guidelines developed by Homeland Security or a concrete application of their censorship of so-called disinformation before suing, only because the federal courts give every benefit of the doubt and good faith to the government, and will put the best face on it absent hard evidence to the contrary.
The main problem is that most of the judges are corrupt or cowards.
That is odd Bruce; “federal courts give every benefit of the doubt and good faith to the government.” because the opposite is true when fleecing the taxpayers (47% now and declining). In Government contracting the scale is predisposed against the government, when we funnel tax dollars to a seller. In the case of protest or other lawsuit, the court is required to to settle any contract ambiguity, conflict, or omission IN FAVOR of the contractor. That is codified in the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations).
In effect, US law makes it easy to waste tax money, while the tax payers have ZERO voice.
This is done! There is but one way back to the United States as we know it in the Constitution.
How is this constitutional?
How quaint that you still believe that’s what governs our country and determines what actions and laws are allowed
You might be interested in these sites: rumble.com/c/x22report; patelpatroit.substack.com/p/devolution-part-2.
His videos contain a lot of information that may make you feel better. I realized there are many people behind the scenes working endlessly to get the truth out?
X22 does help sort out alot of what is going on these days….
yes! videos a little long but he gives us encouragement not to quit fighting! If we stick together we can beat the DS and RINOS!
How long before sites like this are illegal?
Already on Double-Secret probation ????
Still waiting for the meme police to pay me a call.
I had never heard of Grayzone…just book marked it for later…investigative journalism.
And soon Jankowicz can claim bookmarking that site constitutes a “desent into violence” as defined by the DHS Secretary.
This is what needs to be seen more than anything else.
The democrats are using government to sensor the internet. We have been screaming for years to implement some form of truth and allow free speech and nothing the republicans can do “so they say”. How is it now government moves towards a solution, a worse one mind you , but it moves?
apply THAT to all the fake elections “oh nothing can be reversed “. I call BS on all the republicans from top down, all the conservative governors and all these worthless lying government officials.
We all know if Trump was in the same place as Biden, they would tie him to a stake in front of the White House and roast him, before he had one day in his second term.
Border wall, health insurance, fuel prices, taxes, spying, IRS targeting, Supreme Court picks, money to Ukraine, Biden’s total incompetence on full display. It’s all a sham and these republicans need to be removed, as well as every democrat. They are more of a problem than the democrats because we vote to place them there and only get another globalist not a conservative.
Spot on! I got a call from Rona McDaniel (spelling?) office asking for help. I went on a rant about the R’s doing squat about anything especially the Jan 6 people held illegally in prison for over a year. She said in a smug tone “I thought you were a Republican.” I practically shouted back “I AM AN AMERICAN and the R losers in congress are not doing anything for we the people and will never get a dime from me” – then hung up. Add her to the list of people to remove.
You are right on target stating all those Republicans must be replaced, they have never been for “the people”, now it’s time for us to act! I have always believed that it’s each voter’s responsibility to investigate EVERY candidate they are voting for—we know nothing but swamp mud comes from their mouths and that’s the very reason I’ve decided in GA I would investigate every Republican candidate and post my findings on Gab for Georgians to review and make their votes count accordingly! Don’t know if it will matter but I’m learning a lot!
The US disinformation bureau.
What else is new?
So does the fact that they had all this ready to go just days after the incipient purchase of Twitter by Elon suggest to anyone else that his purchase attempt might be more along the lines of the fox buying the hen house than we would hope?
No. This is merely another sophomoric and blatantly obvious attempt by the Deep State to scare us into silence and to attempt to dampen our positive reaction to Musk’s takeover of twitter. They have all sorts of totalitarian rules and schemes to curtail or remove our fundamental Constitutional and God-given rights.
This is so blatant it will not withstand legal challenge in any even modestly-honest court. There will be a flood of lawsuits against this.
A couple of related facts:
First, the Mission Statement and Charter of this new Executive Branch Office were taken directly from “The For the People Act” Senate Bill 1 that is still languishing in the Senate. There is a related provision in SB 1 that states Congress has the authority to review the suitability of a Candidate for Federal Office and their sponsoring political party if they persist in spreading False Information as defined by Congress and DHS (essentially Congress can DISQUALIFY a candidate).
Second, in 2013 Comrade Obama signed into the law that the US Government is allowed to lie for national security and public well being purposes, with the approval of congressional changes to the Smith-Mundt Act. So, long as Media outlets can claim to accept Government communiques “in good faith as the truth” and those communiques are not designated by the Government as lies or propsganda…the media can repeat Government Lies with impunity.
Thirds, Media platforms can comply with this Offcie and the rules they write so long as NOBODY successfully challenges them in court. They are Legal Executive Orders nebulously based on national security laws and regulations. Until SUCCESSFULLY challenged, they are legal.
Finally, if this is successful…we will see the entirety of Senate Bill 1 enacted in this manner as well as House Bill 5 (which deals with the legalization of the consolidation of media ownership).
Their total lockdown of communication…
A screw loose unhinged 33 year old indoctrinated Leftist robot in control of the Ministry of Truth. What could possibly go wrong? My jaw is on the floor.
Some of the clips of her out now seriously could be something on Libs of Tik Tok.
I found info on her family…she’s from NJ, dad was a Viet Nam Vet that died of agent orange issues in 2010..mom is on FB..a total left wing feminist, Hillary lover, TDS !!
Surely, this is so unconstitutional that it can be quickly challenged and stopped?

Anyone see DeSantis on INgraham last night. HE”S THE MAN.
He’s smooth, he’s calm, he’s smart, he’s not arrogant or egotistical. HE’s ACTION….GETS The job done.
Elect him 2024…..
God willing our next President! Classy and strong! What more could conservatives want?
This conservative wants for us to NOT split our votes. We’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot if we do.
Leftists love the collective – no scoop. The return to tribalism (one people, one mind) is largely what drives them. Censorship, the total intolerance of dissent, even mild disagreement, is a huge part of collectivism.
Rich leftists, pathetically, would still like to be part of that collective. They aren’t about to give up their wealth (Duh!) so they instead have become the most passionate of censors.
And Co-Vid has led leftists to discover a rich new vein of collectivism – the face mask. The mask is with us now probably forever, and leftists will continue to push hard to force others to wear them. The collective is a most intolerant god.
While I was reading and reflecting on your perceptive thoughts, it occurred to me that Elon Musk must have been converted to his newly-found brand of conservatism through his many interesting interactions on Twitter which, busy guy that he is with a million interests and responsibilities, may never have been exposed to.
Also, one thing we do know for certain about Musk: he really does like to follow the science in all he does, AND THERE AIN’T MUCH SCIENCE when you chat with libs from Tik Tok types on Twitter.
Thunderstruck libs are now wondering, “where did we screw up? We thought we had all of this covered! Hell, we own every media company in the world, and now this!”
All along, Elon has been simply asking, “show me the science!” Well, now he knows that the only thing in the lib toolbox is their propaganda which they attempt to pass off as science to the gullible, and with considerable success.
In any event, perceptive comments like yours make people stop and reflect. And that’s what’s so dangerous to the neo-jerks.
“it occurred to me that Elon Musk must have been converted to his newly-found brand of conservatism through yada yada …”
This wasn’t sufficient explanation?
Full spectrum madness on display…
Every single Republican politician should be fighting against this with every tool at their disposal but they are not. Which begs the question…even if we win the mid terms by a landslide, have we actually won anything? Do they really care about us even a little bit?
McCarthy given a standing ovation following release of tapes.
Does that sound like there’s ANY pushback from sitting R members?
And McConnell on record being anti-Trump, anti-Maga??
TELL ME what will change if R’s take House and Senate.
NOT ONE DAMN THING….
NONE.
BE VERY careful if you pull a R lever, it’s the right R lever….putting R’s in Congress just to put a R there is irresponsible. We have a congress now of worthless, weak, wreckless, UniParty R’s.
“Internationally recognized expert on disinformation” is a rather Orwellian way to say “propagandist”.

She worked for Ukraine. So “international”. Outside of Ukraine, I doubt anyone had heard of her until yesterday.
George Orwell in his prescient novel 1984 wrote, “There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always, do not forget this, Winston, always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”

This is all about stealing the election. Mayorkas said that they have to protect election workers from violent white supremacists. That means no onlookers to see if they are putting in fake ballots.
A perfect coda to this lunacy – https://rightwirereport.com/2022/04/29/chicken-genocide-satire/
The main stream media NEVER EVER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING . They alter , delete , edit , omit and add wording to fit their narratives 100% of the time and have been doing that for decades .
A small example of main stream media sources below , all listed names are guilty of it and can NEVER be trusted.
Cnn, Msnbc, Abc, Cbs, Nbc, HuffPost, NYT, WashPost, The AP, BuzzFeed, Politico, NewsWeek, The Hill, Rolling Stone, Sky News, Mediate, The Atlantic, USA Today, Time magazine, LA Times, Politifact, Reuters, BBC, Wikipedia, Boston Globe, Vox, The Miami Herald, Mother Jones, Factcheck .or, HLN , Yahoo, MSN, NY Daily News, Vice, Univision, People magazine, PBS, NPR, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Daily Beast, Bloomberg, Aurn, National Journal, BI ,
It’s very very very difficult to find factual information these days since all search engines only link to propaganda sources .
Try searching for political info on Google and other main stream search engines for instance , the ONLY links they will show you are from the above sources . Twitter and Facebook will also ONLY link to the above sources .
99.9% of all factcheckers are liberal owned and funded as well and their sole purpose is to confirm the lies that the above sources report . It fools a lot of people because they truly believe factcheckers are legit factcheckers but nothing could be further from the truth .
By far the best way to know with 100% certainty what’s factual info is to seek out what the above listed sources insist is disinformation because what they claim is disinformation and not trustworthy is ALWAYS 100% trustworthy .
What the above sources promote as real news IS NEVER EVER real news .
Geez, what a condescending witch.
I really like Tuckers presentations. I only wish he wasnt controlled opposition.
The search for perfection in all utterances goes on unabated, then.
Anyone important in tv media you consider a true friend?
Does Mike Lindell count? or my choices limited to corporate media personalities only?
Have chief GOPe eunuchs Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy opined on this?
OCEAN you are exactly right in referencing the First Amendment . If Elon Musk wants to open Twitter’s platform the Feds have no legal jurisdiction. The left is running scared . We are starting to see cracks in the foundation . To ensure freedom of speech will however take a newly elected congress to reign in executive branch overeach . Congress will have to be prodded by an alert and engaged electorate . I do not feel I am engaged in wishful thinking here . As Sundance himself points out there are way more of us than them . Common sense people of all race, ethnic, and economic groups are fed up with the tyranny emanating out of Wahington D.C.
