Jimmy and Max on Biden’s misinformation czar inside the department of homeland security.

If you only have time for one then watch the 1st one.

I remember when people were horrified that government created that department after 9/11. It seemed like something straight out of Hitler's era.

We have been warned again this censorship our whole lives and now that it’s hear it is being embraced by shitlibs who can’t see how authoritarian this is. They see nothing wrong with censoring anyone who has a different opinion than they do or that democrats have been putting pressure on social media heads to censor anyone that doesn’t toe the security state’s party line.

Chechen Soldier in Mariupol Recalls Moment Where He Saw Azov Battalion’s True Face

Translation

Zaur – Military serviceman of Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov’s Regiment:

It’s possible that before I came here, I doubted [the stories] a little bit. But back then when we freed the first prisoners from the house, which was directly situated nearby the Azovstal’ [factory], when those prisoners and civilians came out from the basements, they hugged and kissed us. And told us that they are happy to see us. They cried with tears in their eyes! I then realized that I ended up exactly for… (holding back emotions) what was needed. And I don’t doubt one drop that it was the right idea.

I remember that moment, that fragment which laid into my head, when we stormed a house where there were a lot of civilians, and many of those very Azov fighters. (Azov is an extremist organization that is banned in the territory of the Russian Federation.) A mother with her child runs outside, and we’re looking through binoculars. We can’t storm, we can’t enter, we can’t do anything. And then they shoot the mother in the spine. The mother falls… and we scream to the child: “RUN!!! RUN!!!” from all sides. The child froze, not understanding what to do. On one hand he wants to run, but on the other he wants to help his mother. And then suddenly his head, get this, this child’s HEAD gets shot by this scum, this evil BEAST. In this very moment, we all just suddenly forgot what death means, we forgot that there could be snipers there, just as a Crowd, Broke In! We threw smoke grenades so that they couldn’t see us. We broke in and just tore up all of them [fighters] that were inside. Well we got in there, but not just got in there. In the sense that people sacrificed their lives. Many soldiers sacrificed their lives in that moment. But we entered and fulfilled our task.

We could care less about our lives when we saw the life of a child being gone. When we realized that these are not people, but are animals, nothing less than beasts, that can allow themselves to… to kill a child. These are not people. Therefore I think that I ended up here exactly for the right reason. And everything that I have done here, I have done for these people who live right here and are smiling and hugging us. They even take the coordinates of where I live, as well as of my other fellow combat comrades, they want to come to our homeland and thank us for the liberation.

I found this April 28 sit rep very informative. Sitrep: Operation Z

Lots of information and links, links, links to keep you busy for awhile.

But look at what the cat found.

Congress had already written the land lease bill in January so that Ukraine could defend itself a month before Russia declared its military operation. Remember that Biden kept telling us for weeks that Russia was going to invade Ukraine. Gee why was he so sure that they would?

Remember that the intelligence agencies help write many of the movies that help them spread their propaganda. Who knew that Minority Report was a prelude to what they were cooking up for us?

Have you watched this yet? If not you are in for a treat. If so just enjoy it again.

Make Orwell fiction again.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Oh God It's Going To Get So Much Worse

Rightists have spent the last couple of days freaking out and invoking Orwell’s 1984 in response to something their political enemies are doing in America, and for once it’s for a pretty good reason.

The Department of Homeland Security has secretly set up a “Disinformation Governance Board”, only informing the public about its plans for the institution after it had already been established.

The disinformation board, which critics have understandably been calling a “Ministry of Truth”, purportedly exists to fight disinformation coming out of Russia as well as misleading messages about the US-Mexico border. We may be certain that the emphasis in the board’s establishment has been on the Russia angle, however.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, in her patented “You’re such a crazy idiot for questioning me about the White House” manner, dismissed alarmed questions about what specific functions this strange new DHS entity was going to be performing and what its authority will look like.

“It sounds like the objective of the board is to prevent disinformation and misinformation from traveling around the country in a range of communities. I’m not sure who opposes that effort.” Psaki said.

The answer to the question of “who opposes that effort” is of course “anyone with functioning gray matter between their ears.” No government entity has any business appointing itself the authority to sort information from disinformation on behalf of the public, because government entities are not impartial and omniscient deities who can be entrusted to serve the public as objective arbiters of absolute reality. They would with absolute certainty wind up drawing distinctions between information, misinformation and disinformation in whatever way serves their interests, regardless of what’s true, exactly as any authoritarian regime would do.

I mean, is anyone honestly more afraid of Russian disinformation than they are of their own government appointing itself the authority to decide what counts as disinformation?

This important point has gotten a bit lost in the shuffle due to the utterly hypnotic ridiculousness of the person who has been appointed to run the Disinformation Governance Board. Nina Jankowicz, a carefully groomed swamp creature who has worked in Kyiv as a communications advisor to the Ukrainian government as part of a Fulbright fellowship, is being widely criticized by pundits and social media users for her virulent Russiagating and whatever the hell this is:

Because of this person’s embarrassing cartoonishness, a lot more commentary lately has been going into discussing the fact that the Department of Homeland Security’s Ministry of Truth is run by a kooky liberal than the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has a fucking Ministry of Truth.

And as bad as it is, it’s on track to get much, much worse. They’re already setting up “disinformation” regulation in the government which presides over Silicon Valley, the proxy war between the US and Ukraine is escalating by the day, and aggressions are ramping up against China over both the Solomon Islands and Taiwan. If you think imperial narrative management is intense now, wait until the US empire’s struggle to secure global hegemony really gets going.

Do you consent to this? Do you? It’s something you kind of have to take a position on, because its implications have a direct effect on our lives as individuals and on our trajectory as a society. How much are we willing to sacrifice to help the US win an infowar against Russia?

The question of whether we should abandon all hope of ever becoming a truth-based society and committing instead to winning propaganda wars for a globe-spanning empire is perhaps the most consequential decision we’ve ever had to make as a species. Which is why we weren’t given a choice. It’s just been foisted upon us.

Whoever controls the narrative controls the world. By taking our control of information out of our hands without asking our permission and determining for us that we are to be a propaganda-based civilization for the foreseeable future, they have stolen something sacred from us. Something they had no right to take.

One of Caitlin's best. I encourage you to read all of it. I’m not seeing many republicans speaking out against this shit from Biden, but then I’m not going to hold my breath either because of course both parties want this to happen. But can you imagine how the shitlibs would have reacted if Trump had done the deed? And it’s why it’s Biden doing it. Because they know that the shitlibs will stay at brunch just like they did when Clinton and Obama passed the worst legislation that they would have been outraged if either Bush had done it. Fucking hypocrites!

Someone should ask HerHeinous about disinformation when she said Trump was tied to Alpha Bank or the democrats who said that Trump was Putin’s puppet and that the only reason he became president was because Russia interfered with the election. Hey didn’t Obama say that too. By golly he did.

@snoopydawg

but I did listen to this 20 min. interview yesterday on RNZ with Owen Bennett, a tabloid journalist, promoting his view of Musk, Twitter, and the DSA (Digital Services Act).

https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018840053/owen...

DHS, DSA, both seem to be related in intention. Sadly, it only added to a sense of uneasiness in a vision of a dehumanised and senseless future.

A hug for you and Sam.

is what has me very uneasy about where we are headed. Remember that just after 9/11 government created the DHS and then passed the patriot act that pretty much nullified the constitution and most people just yawned about it. The TSA was search and seizure without a warrant and most people went along with it because they were afraid. The only person found with explosives was possibly a plant and yet people are still not only taking their shoes off, but are allowing themselves to be assaulted by the TSA agents. Imagine if instead people refused to fly until these unconditional acts were stopped.

When we found out that Bush was spying on us lots of people yawned and said that they had nothing to hide so go ahead and spy on me without a warrant. Obama promised to roll that back, but instead put the spy programs on steroids and the shitlibs yawned.

Now Biden is saying that the 1st amendment is no longer in effect and too many people are once again yawning! No wonder government keeps taking away our rights. We have given them the impression that we don’t mind.

This woman is just the face of the misinformation, but who has the power to enforce it and just what are the consequences going to be? Let’s remember that the 5th amendment has also been nullified and Biden can have the military arrest anyone he wants and they can be in prisoned and held indefinitely without a trial or access to a lawyer. Habeas corpus is dead. "It’s dead, Jim!"

Other countries are cracking down on disinformation too as you said and I agree with you.

Sadly, it only added to a sense of uneasiness in a vision of a dehumanised and senseless future.

When people don’t stand up to their government abuses they will see that their government will continue to abuse them. People should not be afraid of their government. No one is coming to our rescue either. There is no V working in the shadows and fighting the abuses. It’s up to we the people to find a peaceful way to take back our rights. No idea how to do it, but if we keep rolling over they are going to keep taking.

Thanks for the link. I’ll listen to it tomorrow. Sam says hey.

@snoopydawg

are crushed in the grip of brutes that hold power. I have no idea either how to overcome the position we're in except to stay true to ourselves and others. That prevents me from feeling hopeless.

Yes, a global NATO and concurrent war with Russia and China. We're mad, absolutely deluded. We can't defeat peasant Afghans riding bikes much less modern competent China and Russia. All as the US economy is in absolute collapse.

But at least we'll know all the MSM is vetted BS...but what's new?

Thanks for all the links and info, SD.
