If you ever think we exaggerate Democrat tendencies towards fascism then here we offer proof that scratch a Democrat and you’ll find a good little NSDAP member.
Deroy Murdock gets that and also understands it must be stopped for the sake and future of American freedom.
The Biden Admin’s dangerous Ministry of Truth must be stopped. I am gathering signatures to put the Senate on record to eliminate their “Disinformation Governance Board” & defend the American people from this grotesque anti-free speech effort.

Murdock: President Joe Biden’s bad-idea factory just belched out a doozy: The Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) rolled off the assembly line to the sound of shrieks and Klaxons — and deservedly so.
The last thing America needs is a taxpayer-funded thought-police bureau that monitors public utterances, condemns them as “disinformation” and then flags them for dutiful erasure by the Democrat-Left’s social-media henchpersons in Silicon Valley.
This wretched concept echoes the mind control of the USSR. Indeed, these bumbling neo-totalitarians gave this monstrosity a name whose acronym is DGB, which rhymes with KGB. One feels sorry for Team Biden – almost.
It would be bad enough if the DGB were a small, stand-alone panel, a la the National Endowment for the Arts. Instead, the DGB operates within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a massive law-enforcement agency with ample guns, ammo, and well-trained federal agents whose firepower would inspire the average enemy of the state to clam up.
“The fact that a federal department with approximately 240,000 employees would set up a ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ to enforce the government’s judgement of what information is allowed in the public square should frighten anyone who values liberty and understands how crucial free speech is in maintaining that liberty,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told the Daily Caller.
Unspoken in this debate is the fact that every American has the constitutional right to spew disinformation. Allow me to exercise that natural-born right:
Gavin Newsom is not the governor of California. The Golden State’s chief executive is, in fact, Sasquatch — AKA Big Foot. He wears an elaborate mask and uses a human-voice synthesizer to communicate with Homo Sapiens, a species to which his kind hope to evolve over the next 5 million years — assuming California does not go bankrupt before then. I know this because the Loch Ness Monster whispered this to me underwater, during a recent scuba diving trip to Scotland. I swear this is true. Every word.
Now, you are free to agree with me, or you may scream “disinformation!” and then explain why that paragraph is pure fiction. But Biden, the Democrats, and their DGB lack the constitutional authority to scream “disinformation!” and make that paragraph or this article disappear. But this sure looks like what they are salivating to do. This is especially rich given Democrats’ penchant for peddling disinformation…
Given that top Democrats have mastered the disinformation that they decry, the DGB should be re-christened the Ministry of Psychological Projection.

The correct spelling is “Dezinformatsiya”. I am re-reading the book “KGB” “The Secret Works Of Soviet Secret Agents” from 1974, much of it sounds like the Biden “administration” and there is a reference to the Russians persecuting Ukrainians. These liars claim it is only to control foreign dezinformatsiya but dollars to donuts they will do as the Soviets did and control the news released to the public. Watch out when they outlaw ham and other shortwave radio equipment.
To Replace Big Tech or augment Big Tech for censorship??
The Socialists (the Democratic Party is as dead as The Whigs) have revealedtheir longstanding “operating policy” – you have only to read “Brave New World” and “1984” to have their game plan in your lap. If you interpret everything they say or do through the lense of these books; their actions make sense. The Ministry of Truth cannot stand – it is not only UnConstitutional – it is blatantly un American. Long Live The Republic.
