Disinformation Board to Tackle Russia, Migrant Smugglers

"The Department of Homeland Security" should be concentrating all of their efforts to protect the United States by STOPPING the open border catastrophe.

It is actually sad that liberals here do not even see this situation with the tyranny of ideas coming from the left. Our children are no longer our own, to be protected from every sick crazy liberal agenda being taught in schools. You cannot question the decisions of the CDC and their partnership with the WHO, the PRC, and big Pharma without being cancelled on liberal controlled social media. And now the f-ing White House and the DHS are going to vette the internet to be certain that their narrative is unopposed before the next election.

I was DISGUSTED by what some people did on January 6th, absolutly disgusted. But you know what? One might begin to understand where their opinions were coming from, when our government is willing to dismantle freedom of speech without any shame. It's like the left actually wants a civil war in this country. Their way or the highway.

The Department of Homeland Security has launched a new panel to tackle disinformation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up an effort to counter disinformation coming from Russia as well as misleading information that human smugglers circulate to target migrants hoping to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The spread of disinformation can affect border security, Americans’ safety during disasters, and public trust in our democratic institutions,” the department said in a statement Wednesday. It declined The Associated Press' request for an interview.

A newly formed Disinformation Governance Board announced Wednesday will immediately begin focusing on misinformation aimed at migrants, a problem that has helped to fuel sudden surges at the U.S. southern border in recent years. Human smugglers often spread misinformation around border policies to drum up business."

"
The new board also will monitor and prepare for Russian disinformation threats as this year's midterm elections near and the Kremlin continues an aggressive disinformation campaign around the war in Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly waged misinformation campaigns aimed at U.S. audiences to further divisions around election time and spread conspiracy theories around U.S. COVID-19 vaccines. Most recently, Russian state media outlets, social media accounts and officials have used the internet to call photographs, reporting and videos of dead bodies and bombed buildings in Ukraine fake.

The board will be led by disinformation expert Nina Jankowicz, who has researched Russian misinformation tactics and online harassment.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden, a Democrat, repeatedly said he would push tech companies, including Facebook, to crack down harder on misinformation and conspiracy theories that have overwhelmed social media and its users.

Dozens of Republican lawmakers and pundits took to social media on Wednesday to widely criticize the new board and call for it to be disbanded.

Weird times we live in. There is a significant number of Americans who trust Russian lies more than their own government.

There is no open border.

That is exactly the type of disinformation that needs to be countered.

The border is not open. Disinformation
 
It's anti-free speech to say that someone is lying about a topic? How so?

So you are fine with disinformation?

Are you also fine with yelling fire in a crowded theater?

No, I am not. I am also not fine with unelected bureaucrats defining "disinformation".

LOL!

The border is effectively OPEN when migrants in large numbers can violate our sovereignty and claim "assylum", and then be given a plane ride to all parts of the country to "wait for their hearings" while making more babies, receiving more taxpayer supported services, and then never show up for their immigration hearings. It is an OPEN DOOR. Not only to illegals, but to cartels shipping in drugs.

Assume the worst unless, It is spelled out in writing. They have not earned the benefit of doubt.

Following trump's lead. Remember how he took russian info over American intel information?

NO, and the reason is because the current administration is not enforcing laws, has called off ICE deportations, and by their lack of enforcement is sending a message to come here. The door is not only open, but Biden and company are holding it open with a welcome sign on it.

It's the weird conservative ideology of considering themselves to be super patriots yet hating their own government it really makes no sense at all.
