Nina Jankowicz (who shall from this day forward be referred to here as "Comrade Janky") was appointed to lead the group. Her previous job title was “disinformation fellow” at the DC Think Tank, the Wilson Center. While at Wilson, she frequently offered false narratives about Hunter Biden’s incriminating “laptop from hell” and Trump’s involvement with Russia. One might even call it misinformation.
On October 20, 2020, the AP interviewed Comrade Janky who insisted the laptop was a non-story:
She gushed over Christopher Steele, the man who pushed the debunked “Steele dossier” alleging Russian/Trump collusion.
“Listened to this last night – Chris Steele (yes THAT Chris Steele) provides some great historical context about the evolution of disinfo,” Jankowicz tweeted in August 2020. In other words, the DHS anti-disinformation group will be led by a leading purveyor of disinformation.
Biden’s Ministry of Truth will be far less powerful than the one described by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four, at least at the start. But the goal is similar. As Orwell wrote:
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
Orwell had a limited imagination. Today, one plus one makes 57.
Comrade Janky's job isn’t to root out misinformation or disinformation. It is to call common-sense "lies" and replace it with ever more complex deceptions. Politicians, academia, and the media can’t define “truth” and have no need for a definition anyway. Their goal is power and they will twist facts however needed to obtain it.
POWER TO THE CORRECT PEOPLE!
