Here’s Everything the Media Won’t Tell You About Nina Jankowicz, Biden’s New Minister of Truth
April 29, 2022 (3d ago)
Just when you thought the Globalist American Empire couldn’t get more Owellian, the Department of Homeland Security is here to make it all worse.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms. [Fox News]
The timing of the announcement is symbolically fitting, given recent warnings from journalists, NGOs, and prominent Democrat Senators that the prospect of Elon Musk restoring free-speech to twitter constitutes a “danger our democracy.” It is only right then that one of our nation’s largest national security bureaucracies should set up a special “governance board” to address the threat of so-called disinformation that emerges when speech isn’t entirely controlled by the Regime and its proxies….
Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:
The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:
For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.
Malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States.
[DHS]
In 2002, Congress created the DHS to, among other things, secure America’s border from foreign threats. Now, twenty years on, the DHS has repurposed itself to target as domestic terrorists the Americans who complain about what is crossing America’s border. No development could better illustrate how, over the past two decades, the American security state apparatus has evolved from a shield that guards the American people into a weapon that targets them.
But the establishment of the DHS’s Ministry of Disinformation wouldn’t be a proper intelligence community project unless it was absurd as well as dystopian. For the absurdity, we need to look no further than Nina Jankowicz, the disinformation wizard appointed to protect the American people from dangerous speech about illegal immigration and Russia.
Her latest book opens with a hypothetical description of non-existent real-life harassment; the intended moral, according to Nina herself, is that society should call the police to arrest men who make patronizing comments online.
Unsurprisingly, Nina is a Twitter “bestie” with both Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post and Brandy Zadrozny of NBC News. Lorenz and Zadrozny are both middle-aged commissarettes whose job it is to “dox” anonymous political dissidents to ruin their lives. Recently and now infamously, the disgraced Taylor Lorenz wrote a piece in the Washington Post exposing the identity of a popular conservative account “Libs of Tik Tok.” Of course, anyone who dares criticize these journalists (and Nina too) is guilty of harassment and Misogyny. See how that works?
Two years ago Revolver News ran a major piece on Brandy Zadrozny, exposing the creepy and invasive methods Brandy Zadrozny would employ to dig up dirt on Trump supporters in order to ruin their lives. Zadrozny essentially doxes people for a living, and even wrote a guide on how to do it. She loves to brag about her efforts, too:
Zadrozny’s goal is ruin reputations, cost people their jobs, and get them censored online. Oddly enough, the disgraced Brandy Zadrozny infamously extended far more sympathy and compassion for a child predator caught trying to meet a 14 year old boy than she ever did to the Trump supporters and vaccine skeptics whose lives she attempted to destroy.
Nina was of course outraged that Revolver’s Darren Beattie dared to expose such an upstanding journalist as Brandy Zadrozny. How dare one question our commissars, especially female commissars? Don’t you know that’s harassment!
Unsurprisingly, the Children of the Corn extra Jen Psaki, more recently of White House spokeswoman fame, full-throatedly endorsed Jankowicz and her “extensive qualifications.”…

Why Hillary Clinton Can’t Hide 38 Documents From The Special Counsel
Part 1 of 2
Documents made public last week by the Federal Election Commission reveal that Hillary Clinton campaign payments to Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump were not treated as legal expenses. These newly released documents eviscerate the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign’s attempts to hide behind attorney-client privilege in the special counsel’s criminal case against former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann, who awaits trial in a D.C. federal court later this month on the charge that he made a false statement to former FBI General Counsel James Baker, is currently fighting to keep prosecutors from seeing 38 documents withheld from the grand jury based on claims of attorney-client privilege. In early April, Special Counsel John Durham’s team filed a motion to compel those secreting the documents to provide them to the court to allow the judge to assess, in camera, whether they were properly withheld. In response, Sussmann argued the special counsel had waited too long to force the issue and that his criminal case was the wrong forum to litigate the question.
The day after the former Clinton campaign attorney filed his response opposing in camera review of the material, his “fellow Spygate hoaxers sought to join in Sussmann’s efforts to keep the documents concealed” by seeking to intervene in the case. Last week, the trial court granted the flurry of motions to intervene, authorizing tech executive Rodney Joffe, Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign to file briefs opposing disclosure of the documents.
On Wednesday the court will hear oral arguments on the special counsel’s motion and decide whether the 38 documents must be turned over, initially to the court and then eventually to prosecutors. While Durham’s team previously had a strong case that the documents were not protected by attorney-client privilege, a document dump last week by the FEC further strengthens the prosecutor’s position.
A little more than a month ago, news broke that the FEC had fined the DNC and the Clinton campaign more than $100,000 related to those organizations’ reporting of fees paid in 2016. Those fees were paid to Fusion GPS for opposition research but marked on financial disclosures as legal expenses remitted to its law firm, Perkins Coie. Until Thursday, however, the basis for the FEC’s conclusion that probable cause existed that the DNC and Clinton campaign had misreported the purpose of those disbursements remained buried in the bureaucracy.
The now-released file about the FEC’s investigation into the DNC and the Clinton campaign contains a bevy of material. It includes, most relevantly, memoranda prepared by the FEC’s Office of General Counsel and approved by the FEC.
The memoranda conclude that probable cause supports a finding that both the Clinton campaign and the DNC misrepresented the purpose of the payments to Fusion GPS. While the political organizations reported the payments to Fusion GPS as “legal services” or “legal and compliance consulting,” the FEC concluded probable cause existed that the expenses instead related to opposition research.
The memoranda—one issued related to the DNC and the second addressing the complaint against the Clinton campaign—begin with the FEC general counsel’s office reciting the now well-known facts, beginning with the players. Perkins Coie served as general counsel for the DNC during the 2016 election cycle, the memoranda say. Then, in April 2016, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS to perform “a variety of research and consulting services.” The memoranda then recount the evidence the FEC general counsel reviewed, which “included invoices, account statements, copies of checks, and wire transfers.”
That evidence, the FEC concluded, showed “the DNC paid Fusion $777,907.97 for opposition research” while reporting the work as “legal and compliance consulting.” Similarly, the FEC concluded the Clinton campaign inaccurately reported $175,000 of payments to Fusion GPS for opposition research as “legal services.”
Rather than fight the FEC’s conclusion, the DNC and Clinton campaign entered settlement agreements with the agency, agreeing to pay a fine and refrain from similar violations in the future. While not conceding the violations found by the FEC, the DNC and the Clinton campaign nonetheless agreed they would “not further contest the Commission’s findings.”

Part 2 of 2
After the DNC and the Clinton campaign filed their motions to intervene in the Sussmann case, the attorney for The Coolidge Reagan Foundation—the organization that had filed the complaints against the DNC and the Clinton campaign with the FEC—dispatched a three-page letter to the special counsel’s office. The foundation’s letter from its counsel Dan Backer summarized the key details about the FEC’s recent decision, then suggested the DNC and Clinton campaign’s agreement not to “further contest the Commission’s findings” should prevent them from asserting attorney-client privilege in the Sussmann case.
“The Government should not permit HFA and the DNC to adopt conflicting positions in different proceedings, depending on the federal agency against which they are litigating,” the foundation argued, adding that the trial court may find those breaches of the settlement agreement “material in ruling on any privilege claims.”
While the special counsel’s office made no mention of the FEC’s findings in its response to the DNC and the Clinton campaign’s filings, the foundation’s letter to Durham highlighted a second point that now proves prescient. In his letter, Backer noted that although the FEC memoranda “will not be made public for another week,” the details uncovered in the FEC investigation will likely be useful to the special counsel in attempting to counter the claims of attorney-client privilege pushed in the Sussmann litigation.
Indeed, the FEC memoranda released last week provide additional evidence countering the DNC and the Clinton campaign’s claims of privilege not previously highlighted in the special counsel’s briefing.
For instance, the Clinton campaign reported payments of $175,000 to Perkins Coie as payments for “legal services,” but the FEC memorandumstressed that the Perkins Coie invoices did not treat all of the charges as related to “legal services.” Rather, the invoices reviewed by the FEC showed that in billing the Clinton campaign Perkins Coie distinguished between fees for “legal services rendered” and fees for “professional services — other.” The only service billed as “legal services rendered,” the FEC noted, related to the $5,000 monthly retainer fee paid to Perkins Coie. Conversely, all of the charges related to Fusion GPS’s work charges appeared as “professional services—other.”
The FEC memorandum also stressed that the invoices Fusion GPS sent to Perkins Coie for the services rendered on behalf of the Clinton campaign listed “a monthly retainer fee plus additional fees labeled as ‘Russia Research’ or ‘Russian language researcher.’” Those Fusion GPS charges included payments “Fusion made to its sub vendors, Nellie Ohr, Graham Stack, Edward Austin Limited, and Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd.” The sub-vendors all conducted opposition research for Fusion GPS related to Trump, the FEC memorandum explained, again countering the proposition that the subcontractor and its vendors were assisting Perkins Coie in providing legal services to the Clinton campaign.
Similarly, the FEC memorandumdiscussing the charge against the DNC noted that it reported paying Perkins Coie $66,500 on August 16, 2016, for “Research Consulting,” while later invoices categorized the payments to Perkins Coie as fees for “legal and compliance consulting.” The FEC found the initial category of “research consulting” captured the accurate purpose of the expenditures and indicated the DNC realized “research consulting” represented the more appropriate classification of the expenses
The invoices also showed that Perkins Coie charged the DNC for the entire portion of the fees invoiced by Fusion GPS. This fact suggested Perkins Coie served as simply a pass-through entity for Fusion GPS’s opposition research. This concerned the commissioners, as a transcript of the hearing made clear: Merely running bills through a law firm could not convert them into legal expenses, the commissioners stressed.
While the FEC’s analysis of the payments to Fusion GPS focused on whether the DNC and the Clinton campaign properly reported the purpose of the expenses, and not on whether an attorney-client relationship existed for purposes of privilege, the evidence discussed provides the special counsel additional ammunition to argue in support of an in camera review of the documents, and their eventual disclosure to prosecutors.
No matter how the court resolves the issue of attorney-client privilege, though, the FEC’s memoranda expose the Clinton campaign and the DNC’s attempts to hide their funding of the Russia collusion hoax. When the Sussmann trial begins later this month, the country will learn even more details of the breadth and depth of the conspiracy when those behind the Alfa Bank hoax testify—with or without the 38 documents now in dispute.

How GOP Senators Can Defund Biden's Dystopic 'Disinformation Board'
Part 1 of 2 or 3
In an apparent homage to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” — one the rest of us realize is a pointed political allegory but the Biden administration apparently views as a handbook — the Biden White House is establishing a Disinformation Governance Board.
Yes, you read that correctly. The government is going to decide what’s true and what’s false, and punish disseminators accordingly. The bureaucrats who run the Department of Homeland security, where this board will be housed, are going to be parsing fact from fiction, obviously to keep us all safe from the scourge of independent judgment and thought.
Naturally, Nina Jankowicz, the woman they’ve put in charge of this board, thinks America is a little too “free spirited.” Apparently, her life’s work has been focused on doing something about that. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has cited Jankowicz’s “extensive qualifications,” which include being a disinformation fellow (whatever that is) at the Wilson Center and advising the Ukrainian foreign minister (about who knows what, exactly).
Notably, however, and perhaps predictably, the White House’s new disinformation czar spent months dis-informing the public that the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop — now quietly confirmed to be real even by the likes of The New York Times and the Washington Post — was in fact Russian disinformation.
Jankowicz also spread misleading claims about the Christopher Steele dossier, funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign with the goal of undermining the Trump campaign (and spying on its employees). The dossier has been widely discredited by the Department of Justice and its main source was arrested and charged with five counts of making false claims to the FBI.
Jankowicz has also appeared in TikTok videos singing flippantly about how Americans shouldn’t vote for those who spread disinformation. Jankowicz sings a lot, actually, and is a big fan of Harry Potter. She founded and sang in a band called The Moaning Myrtles, which contributed songs to albums like “Wizards and Muggles Rock for Social Justice” and in 2007 won Best Music Video in Wizard Rock People’s Choice Awards for a song called “Sitting On the Toilet.”
In 1793, enemies of the French state were carted off to the guillotine by Robespierre and his Committee on Public Safety during the Reign of Terror. In 2022 America, our reign of terror will apparently be overseen by a deranged woke theater kid. The gulags, but with jazz hands….

How GOP Senators Can Defund Biden's Dystopic
Part 2 of 3
A Literal Speech Police
The sheer absurdity and spectacle, however, shouldn’t distract from the seriousness of what the Biden administration is attempting to undertake. The formation of a disinformation board within the Department of Homeland Security is a specific choice: to place government speech regulations within the context of law enforcement. The “speech police” is now less metaphorical phrasing than actual reality.
Jankowicz appears to support contextualizing speech into a law enforcement frame. In April, she told National Public Radio that “law enforcement” needs to do more about “free speech absolutism” on social media before speaking approvingly about a bill in the United Kingdom that would empower law enforcement to enforce speech codes.
It’s also no coincidence that Barack Obama recently gave a speech at Stanford University outlining the dangers of disinformation online and calling on the government to act. The former president, who is now a podcaster and a Netflix producer, elected to nothing, has committed himself to pushing an agenda aimed at controlling the flow of speech and information in America, particularly on social media.
Obama’s administration was infamously cozy with the Silicon Valley tech titans and materially contributed to their rise. The Democratic Party, faced with evidence that its message is losing, is now bent on controlling the parameters of the debate itself in the name of “free speech.”
There is added urgency to their task now that billionaire Elon Musk is seeking to acquire Twitter, take the company private, and reform its content moderation practices. Twitter is the centerpiece of elite narrative formation, and the left does not appear willing to let control of “their” platform go without using every financial, governmental, and cultural lever under their power.
Congress Must Respond
But the executive branch does not exist in a vacuum. The legislature still has a say. And the formation of a government speech board, months before an election cycle and within days of Musk’s free speech-driven audacious bid for Twitter, should prompt an urgent response…

>How GOP Senators Can Defund Biden's Dystopic
Part 3 of 3
The most powerful weapon the legislature has is the power of the purse. Agencies cannot carry out their directives or initiate their programs without Congress first authorizing the money for them to do so. House Republicans are reportedly already drafting legislation to defund the formation and maintenance of this disinformation board. But their efforts are not likely to get stand-alone traction in a Democratically controlled House.
Senators, however, have far more options. Regardless of which party is in the majority, each senator has the power to make the body vote on any proposal of his choosing.
Senators can circumvent the committee process under the Senate’s Rule 14, and place legislation directly onto the Senate’s calendar, where they can then move to proceed to it. Provided there is no other business pending, that motion — known as a motion to proceed — automatically is made pending before the Senate, and requires the Senate to vote. Unless cloture is filed, the vote is considered at a 51-vote threshold.
In other words, Republican senators have an option their House colleagues do not. They can force every senator to be on record regarding the Biden administration’s effort to police speech from the Department of Homeland Security.
Creating a public record on such a controversial issue is important in and of itself, but it should also form the basis for both Senate and House Republicans to demand that the effort be defunded as part of the forthcoming omnibus spending legislation, which must be passed in the fall (unless it is replaced by a straight extension of funding known as a continuing resolution).
These must-pass spending bills represent significant points of leverage, particularly for Senate Republicans, whose votes are required for passage. In the split Senate where spending bills require 60 votes, 10 GOP votes are required.
That these leverage points exist, however, doesn’t always mean they’re used. Earlier this year Democrats passed a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package with GOP votes, but with very few GOP wins beyond preserving a handful of policies that never appeared to be under serious threat.
But appropriators — the legislators tasked with drafting spending legislation — have already begun to meet to discuss the outlines of what the next package will look like. Now is the time for the GOP to make their redlines clear: from the border, to vaccine mandates, to defunding Biden’s speech police, Republicans need to draw their lines now and refuse to provide votes for any funding legislation that includes these provisions.
There is a material difference between hot rhetoric and actual engagement in the policy process. Every Republican rightly denouncing Biden’s speech police needs to back up that opposition by using the tools available to him — in the Senate, that means showing the public where Democrats, in particular, stand on the issue by forcing a vote, or several. Among Republicans in the House and Senate, it also means staring down the funding process and refusing to move until funding for this speech board, and the disinformation agent who will run it, is removed.
