"Disinformation Governance Board" On "Pause" Due to Backlash
The right wing alternately seized, pounced on Nina Jankowicz's highly partisan, lunatic statements, laments Taylor Lorenz.
LOL. Within the small community of bitter leftwingers paid to campaign for censorship, her "work" was well-regarded.
In naming the 33-year-old Jankowicz to run the newly created board, the administration chose someone with extensive experience in field of disinformation, which has emerged as an urgent and important issue. The author of the books "How to Be a Woman Online" and "How to Lose the Information War," her career also featured stints at multiple nonpartisan think tanks and nonprofits and included work that focused on strengthening democratic institutions. Within the small community of disinformation researchers, her work was well-regarded.
By "harassment and abuse," Lorenz means that the people who Jankowicz intended to censor in the future looked at her previous statements to evaluate her judgment and even-handedness, and found her to be a crazed ideologue. And it's not fair to look at the past internet statements of someone who is going to be deciding if everyone else's internet statements are legal. That Taylor Lorenz, whose entire career is made up of dredging up people's old internet statements and exposing them to cancel them, should be whining about this is preposterous. In addition, here we have an example where past statements are perfectly legitimate -- Jankowicz is no mere private citizen. She's not the sort of minor tween TikToker Lorenz typically exposes. Jankowicz was appointed to head the government's Ministry of Truth. Her past conduct and her past claims about what was truth and what was "disinformation" are of course completely relevant to judging her fitness to decide on truth vs. "disinformation" in the future.
But within hours of news of her appointment, Jankowicz was thrust into the spotlight by the very forces she dedicated her career to combating. The board itself and DHS received criticism for both its somewhat ominous name and scant details of specific mission (Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said it "could have done a better job of communicating what it is and what it isn't"), but Jankowicz was on the receiving end of the harshest attacks, with her role mischaracterized as she became a primary target on the right-wing Internet. She has been subject to an unrelenting barrage of harassment and abuse while unchecked misrepresentations of her work continue to go viral.
Plot twist: SJW with no appreciable skills doesn't want to lose her phoney-baloney job.
Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being "paused," according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board's dissolution.
This is a lie. The board would decide "best practices" for detecting, punishing, and removing "disinformation," which would be passed on to the tech monopolies, who would of course execute the government's demands. That's how they've been working their censorship game for years now.
But Tuesday night, Jankowicz was pulled into an urgent call with DHS officials who gave her the choice to stay on, even as the department's work was put on hold because of the backlash it faced, according to multiple people with knowledge of the call. Working groups within DHS focused on mis-, dis- and mal-information have been suspended. The board could still be shut down pending a review from the Homeland Security Advisory Council; Jankowicz is evaluating her position within the department. "Nina Jankowicz has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats," a DHS spokesperson told The Post in a statement. "In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as eminently qualified and underscored the importance of the Department's disinformation work, and he will continue to do so." Jankowicz has not spoken publicly about her position since the day it was announced.
Jankowicz's experience is a prime example of how the right-wing Internet apparatus operates, where far-right influencers attempt to identify a target, present a narrative and then repeat mischaracterizations across social media and websites with the aim of discrediting and attacking anyone who seeks to challenge them. It also shows what happens when institutions, when confronted with these attacks, don't respond effectively. Those familiar with the board's inner workings, including DHS employees and Capitol Hill staffers, along with experts on disinformation, say Jankowicz was set up to fail by an administration that was unsure of its messaging and unprepared to counteract a coordinated online campaign against her. A disastrous rollout
Just hours after Jankowicz tweeted about her new job, far-right influencer Jack Posobiec posted tweets accusing the Biden administration of creating a "Ministry of Truth." Posobiec's 1.7 million followers quickly sprung into action. By the end of the day, there were at least 53,235 posts on Twitter mentioning "Disinformation Governance Board," many referencing Jankowicz by name, according to a report by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that conducts public-interest research. In the days following, that number skyrocketed.
The board was created to study best practices in combating the harmful effects of disinformation and to help DHS counter viral lies and propaganda that could threaten domestic security. Unlike the "Ministry of Truth" in George Orwell's "1984" that became a derogatory comparison point, neither the board nor Jankowicz had any power or ability to declare what is true or false, or compel Internet providers, social media platforms or public schools to take action against certain types of speech. In fact, the board itself had no power or authority to make any operational decisions.

This is an important point. Dems have confused control of the media and narrative on that media for actual public acquiescence. GOPe does too. In reality, true lefties are only about 25 percent or so of the population and conservatives about 35-40 percent or so. The rest of the public hates politics and simply wants results--like no crime, no war, plenty of jobs, wealth, goodies, etc. It is becoming clear that the lefties running the Dems cannot give the don't care crowd safety in the streets from crime, educating their children, low inflation, and so on. They cannot even give peace apparently nor protection from Covid. That means that the left is panicking and doubling down on coercion.

Yes they have. It's fragmented, though, because lots of agencies are playing. This strikes me as more of a DHS power play to centralize the effort and put themselves in charge.

It isn't like the government strongly suggesting something comes across as direction, with implicit threat.
How's this, gang... what would you do if, say, Twitter refused to follow your suggestions? Just throw up your hands and give up? You know, like the USFEDGOV is notorious for doing? It is to laugh.

What they're going to do to pretend they're not just a govt agency to protect the Democrat party from information is this:
They will show they are not biased by, get this, calling out "misinformation" against certain "Republicans" such as liz cheney and murkowski and burr and tillis.

The problem for the Dems is that probably 3/4 of the population opposes it. About the same for CRT, etc. The Dem leftists have led them to the cliff politically and like Trump after the election, have their own Rubicon to face. Ironically, the muted response by Republicans has helped diffuse the normal Red-Blue rah rah rallying effect for Dems. Essentially by corrupting and muting the Republicans, the Dems have disabled any feedback mechanism to separate popular and unpopular policy proposals. They either have to crush their own Brownshirts pushing radicalism or have their own aging white progressive liberals displaced.

Not always. In a new technology, for example, a person in his mid-thirties might have been involved in it - or perhaps even building it - for a majority (or even all) of the technology's total life. That young guy might be a leading expert in it and more experienced that virtually anyone else.
But that's narrow and unusual. In something like censorship and state power activism - things as old as politics - that kind of scenario doesn't apply.

The whole frame is an obvious distraction from the obviously intentional policy to bring in as many illegals into the country as possible, by any means necessary --and it still gets repeated incessantly even by Fox. Once in awhile some Congresscritter brings out the intentionality of their policy in a hearing. But there is no sustained messaging to get through to the vast majority of Americans who simply think they're "doing a poor job of controlling the border."
And Buffalo will be their new J6 to make another, hugely illegal leftist assault on our country illegal to talk about.

They are correct to an extent. Look at cultural approaches in China or Africa.
So on the one hand, we have witnessed how they are able to generate more followers: school control, media dominance. So they are self-perpetuating. So now, they are working on destroying the other side using more and more powerful tools.
These people HAVE to be defeated- or they will destroy us. Peaceful discourse and disagreement are not one of their values. Their ideology is antithetical to our own. We cannot coexist.

Kurt Schrader is a moderate Democratic congressman from Oregon. Oregon added a Congressional district, and the Democrats furiously gerrymandered Oregon as a result, so most of the district is new to him.
He is running against a hard-Left woman who got elected to a couple of terms to a city council in California, lost reelection, moved back to Oregon to go to law school, and has been running for office in Oregon ever since, moving when necessary to be eligible to run. A loser, in other words.
Schrader's primary ad on TV and internet was having Joe Biden explaining how wonderful Schrader is.
At the moment, Schrader is losing to the leftist loon by 29 points.

Noem was an up and comer who made her name for anti-covid stuff, and then went the wrong way on another important issue to the base. She went from, I think, promising talent to establishment hack. I guess people were breaking out the Noem for 2024 signs, but it seems materially different from the stuff around Musk, where he was hailed as a visionary for the future (they name-dropped him positively in the very first episode of Star Trek Discovery) to the man who was going to tear down the entire world order because he's going to allow conservatives on Twitter to say "A = A".
And Cruz still has many defenders.
I think you're examples are solid, don't take me wrong, but they seem to be at a completely different scale.

Think of it this way. Inflation kills their salaries and government spending on non-sense too. Debasing the currency further simply becomes the dog chasing the tail futilely and doing such measures as wage price freezes only makes the population pissed off and spurs the black market. As the value of fiat money goes to zero, the bonds of coercion and loyalty to a regime do so as well. This is especially true of a society geared toward materialism.

Biden endorsed Schrader because his district only leans Democratic, and given the political winds, the Leftist loon is likely to lose bigly.
The leftist loon's opponent will be a conservative Republican Hispanic woman. If elected, the Republican would be the first Hispanic elected to Congress in Oregon, but the MSM will not spend one second talking about how "pathbreaking" her getting elected would be.
Instead, expect to hear a lot about the fact that the (white) leftist loon IS A LESBIAN.

We're always looking for a hero and seem willing, as a group (I pretty much never do this personally), to throw everything behind the newest potential example. I remember when everyone loved Dan Crenshaw right after his first election and were pushing him for president (and I was all, let's see how he turns out after at least one term), and...now.
But that's more of a political thing rather than a cultural one. Maybe it's part and parcel with us having almost no cultural heroes that we've become immune to our culture being against us. If someone says something positive, it's met as much with suspicion as anything else.

This, here, I disagree with. What I WOULD disagree with is the presumption that a 50 or 60 year old Boomer would have the first fucking clue how to deal with Twitter and Facebook, etc. There are some jobs, especially tech based jobs, that a 33 year old would be far more experienced in than an older person, and would be more qualified to hold.
Not that I'm defending this specific person, she's a looney, but the broad statement that because a person is younger, they are unqualified on bleeding edge tech is incorrect.

Hmmm, interesting thought. I'd say a lot of what has happened in the past 20 years has been too slow on our part. One of the reasons the GOPe got so entrenched is that we did not notice the signs that our elected representatives were quislings. They have had us in their OODA loop for forever. We have reacted rather than throwing the bums out and wrecking them.
THIS is one of the big reasons I think the decision to 'work within' the GOP was a mistake. No. Burn it to the ground because you cannot reform the mindset of people who want to actively manipulate you instead of do what you want.

You have to take a systems approach and understand the GOP is merely a tool for what constitutionalists desire. Burning down the GOPe is fine as a standalone strategy to improve the GOP but the problem system wide is that doing that allows the Dems to run amok. It is as if we are a Social Democrat party during the late years of the Weimar Republic. The Social Democrats in Germany had a lot of problems but the rising opponents of Commies and Brownshirts were worse.
We are in the unenviable task of changing the transmission of the party as it is going down the road. The only way you get to trash the GOP first without massive repercussions is to repeal majoritarian first past the post elections to something like proportional representation. Even there, I think, you will find GOPe monkeying with elections themselves which is why party elders wanted Trump to go quietly.

What a heroine!. Instead of being the Disinformation Czar, she should be the star of her own Marvel Superheroine movie. Her superpowers consist of withering glances at men who challenge her and causing literal meltdowns by her singing about disinformation to the tune of supercalifragallistic. In fact, she can wear a Scary Poppins outfit with s shorter skirt, and her umbrella can have more gadgets than James Bond.

The problem is we have no control over that system (I am primarily talking about the unelected portions.) If we did we could go in and fore all of the consultants and so forth that these jack offs use (Steve Schmidt is a perfect example.) When you are trying to change a culture, removing the cancer is key (or at least the worst parts of it in order to show you are serious.) Even by primarying people, we are not affecting that part of the system we want to change.

Well Stevie has his generational wealth from the Lincoln project but that is now poisonous to even Dems after the backfiring on the the Youngkin smear. The problem itself is education of young people and the attitudes of the wealthy donors which creates the rotten culture of the GOPe consultants, candidates, and party apparatus. Plus there is the fact that far too many people want someone else to bell the cat. NaClyDog is one of the rare exceptions in that he is a public official doing the good work. But notice many of the greatest critics here never mention taking voters to the polls, educating people that they associate with, being a precinct member, etc.

I'm sure you already know; but over at Breitbart, John Nolte gave you a hat tip and linked one of your posts regarding Netflix firing a huge number of its woketards.

Speculation: What happened was that someone relatively low-level selected her for this post or promoted her for this position, being that the oldsters in the admin know little about the Internet or its personalities. And then her Internet history became public and the oldsters did not want to waste time and energy defending her level of crazy. Kind of like when the Gore (or was it Edwards) campaign hired Amanda Marcotte, and then her level of crazy quickly became public (more public) and she got jettisoned.

The orchestrated bi partisan hits on Cawthorn in NC, Roy Moore in AL, and before that Tea Party candidates in 2010, were designed to ward off future challenges. Particularly Republican senators have not believed in conservatism since Taft was leader of the GOP in the Senate. That also goes for many of the GOP governors. All have learned that the path to personal riches lies by getting in bed with companies and wealthy donors and ignoring their base. Thus, the GOPe is perfectly content with being the stop of the Dems consistent racheting of social and economic policies to the left.

99 Luftballons was originally made by a German group, in German, and they also had an English version, IIRC.
It wasn't a remake by another band.

Easy. It can be true but undesirable, or untrue but desirable. So the Board is really just saying how well aligned something is with what the government WANTS, and the tech giants correct as required. Isn't that what they're for?

WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley, has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said on Wednesday.
Ashley Biden, 40, was scheduled to travel to Central America with her mother, first lady Jill Biden, departing on Wednesday afternoon, but will no longer make the trip, the White House said.
-------------------
Great opportunity for showers at the WH, what with Jill out of the house.

Not at all. I was kidding about working part time. I'm actually the fabulously wealthy illegitimate daughter of one of the Duponts, and ASHQ is my hobby.

What, they thought that conservatives wouldn't read Rules for Radicals? "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. " - Rules For Radicals. Hmm, works both ways; you won't like living under your new rules, lefties.

No. Musk's waiver of the due diligence period is irrelevant. Twitter made their statement about the percentage of bots in SEC filings before any offer was made. If the statement was knowingly false and material to the value of the company (which obviously it is) Musk has grounds to walk away.

In fact, the board itself had no power or authority to make any operational decisions.
Not at first, perhaps, but you can bet your bottom dollar that eventually it would be festooned with such power and authority.

Relatively meteoric rise to the top of government? I'd guess that she is rather handy with a penis.
Guess who looks like a frontrunner for Vice-President material.

Looking at her images, I doubt she's handy with a penis or anything else, although I do believe she's married--to a man. Poor bastard.
