From sarahwestall.com:

A “Disinformation Governance Board” has just been created and is going to be run by the Department of Homeland Security. Their primary goal is going to be to “police” what is deemed to be “misinformation” or “disinformation.”

No clarification has been given as of yet as to what this policing will mean, but it has been pointed out that the creation of this new Disinformation Governance Board is going to have the full strength of the DHS behind it.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, “the goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this threat.”

Nina Jankowicz has been chosen to head up the new disinformation office as the executive director.

Jankowicz received her MA in Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. A full list of the staff at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University can be found here.

Some of the current faculty/staff members within the Walsh School of Foreign Service are:

Jankowicz also spent time previously working with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (also called the Wilson Institute) in the past as a disinformation fellow. A full listing of their staff can be found here.

Some of the current staff members, faculty, and associates at the Wilson Institute include:

  • Cynthia Arnson – Director of the Latin American Program
  • Shihoko Goto – Director for Geoeconomics and Indo-Pacific Enterprise/Deputy Director of the Asia Program
  • Duncan Wood – VP for Strategy and New Initiatives; Senior Advisor to the Mexico Instituted; Interim Director of the Global Europe Program
  • Lonnie Bunch III – Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

She also previously worked with the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry with the Fullbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship, where she offered advice and oversaw the Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.

In addition to her past work history, Nina is also the author of two books: How to Lose the Information War: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict, published in 2020, and a book that was just published this month, How to Be a Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment, and How to Fight Back.

How to Lose the Information War

Within this book, Nina discusses what she learned during her time with the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and Belarus as she worked to combat “Russian information warfare tactics.” The book examines five different nations and the policies they pushed to counter “misinformation” in what is claimed to be a fight for “the future of civil discourse and democracy, and the value of truth itself.”

How to Be a Woman Online

Here, Nina says that toxic masculinity has poisoned the internet against women, particularly women who aren’t white. She argues from the standpoint that something needs to be done against these men to keep them from saying these things.

When interviewed by NPR about this book, Nina said, “And I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world…”

Nina went on within the interview to advocate for stronger consequences against men online who say things that are deemed to be wrong.

“…we frankly need law enforcement and our legislatures to do more as well,” Nina said. She later went on to add, “really any law enforcement of consequences against abusers would make such a big difference because part of the reason this happens right now is that hardly anything ever happens to the people who are levying the abuse.

The announcement

News about the new taxpayer-supported agency was released to the American public by Alejandro Mayorkas during the House Appropriations Subcommittee as the 2023 budget for the Department of Homeland Security was discussed.  This came about after Representative Lauren Underwood (?) asked Mayorkas what he was going to do to combat “misinformation campaigns” aimed at people who aren’t white.

Underwood said that not only was disinformation a “huge threat to our homeland,” but that “foreign adversaries attempt to destabilize our elections by targeting people of color with disinformation campaigns.”

She went on to add, “A newer trend that we saw in the 2020 election and already in the 2022 midterms is that disinformation is being heavily targeted at Spanish-speaking voters, sparking and fueling conspiracy theories.”

“DHS and its components play a big role in addressing myths and disinformation in Spanish and other languages. Can you share what steps you’ve taken and what future plans you have to address Spanish-language myths and disinformation through a department-wide approach?”

Mayorka’s response was the reveal of the DGB.

He not only revealed that the DGB was in the process of being created but said that there were a number of other “different offices engaged in this critical effort,” one of which is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

  1. The powers of tyranny and evil are the fountains of disinformation, misinformation, and half-truths. Even the name of the proposed new bureaucracy is a lie. Truth is the natural and inevitable enemy of what has become the established religion of western civilisation. The name of that false religion is Political Correctness. Political Correctness is now the guiding darkness of corporate America and American government at all levels from Washington, District of Corruption down to the grade one classroom. Its origin is in deepest Hell. Its destiny is in deepest Hell. God's kingdom has no permanent place for lies. The "Disinformation Governance Board" will prove a laughable failure like unto CNN Plus. Time and events have already passed it by. Know you the truth, and the truth shall piss you off. Then it will set you free.

  2. When Jankowicz states she wants to protect the homeland, I can hear Motherland…. i.e. those Nazi roots of control of everything. For those familiar with the Harry Potter books and movies, the Ministry of Magic was all about supression of rights, especially for those who didn't have what the elite had, magic. Even in those books, it was clear they were talking about purity of blood calling those of mixed lineage mud bloods. I think that's exactly what we're seeing in real life in America. Did we really win WWII or did our leaders conced and let them infiltrate every important industry in the US and abroad?

    • For a Reverend it sure appears to be childish to quote Harry Potter movies in reference to the greatest tragedy to my people, the Germans. I dare you to ask "did we win WWII" perhaps you should enlighten yourself to the destruction that America & Britain's work by watching 'HELLSTORM' can be found at Money Tree Publishing.com & try reading a well documented book of Real Historical events that played out before, during and after WW2, titles: 'Germany's War' author John Wear & 'Hitler's Revolution' author Richard Tedor, both can be found on Barnes Review.org, they sell banned books.
      15 Million Germans Perished in that war that was instituted by a Communist regime in the USSR that Franklin Roosevelt supported as well as Winston Churchill, whom used Poland to ignite it.

    • Russia is called "the Motherland." The "Fatherland" is Germany.

      The demons who sat upon the shoulders of the Nazis are very mobile. They can move to other shoulders very easily. Although it was done on a large scale with Operation Paperclip, it is not necessary to move dense, heavy physical bodie across an ocean to bring evil thoughts to other minds. In these modern times, more than ever, we need place less importance on nationality and proportionately more on powers and principalities and service to the whole as opposed to service against the whole and for the benefit of selfish and evil people and organisations of evil people.
