Biden’s so-called disinformation board crumbled in the face of public outrage. However, as part of its big government philosophy, the federal government continues to monitor Americans in some way.
Americans scrutinized Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) as it emerged into the forefront.
It was mockingly dubbed the Ministry of Truth by Republicans. Under duress, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pledged not to monitor Americans under the board.
As a result, the board was put on hold, and the entity’s director, Nina Jankowicz, resigned. DHS has now said that it is evaluating the board.
Freedom requires vigilance. The vigilance of courageous Americans has forced the Biden Admin to “pause” the Ministry of Truth (Disinformation Board). We must not allow them to reactivate this propaganda arm (with new name/leadership?)

Mayorkas’ statements that the federal government does not monitor Americans are false, as multiple examples of federal government surveillance of Americans show.
For example, the Biden administration published a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin in February, citing one of the most persistent domestic security concerns as false narratives.
According to the alert, the United States is under attack.
Any entity that attempts to undermine public confidence in government institutions will be punished. Similarly, the new policy asserted that the spread of false narratives on the internet is endangering American interests.
The federal government’s approach was a textbook example of how to wield authority to limit online freedom of speech at a time when social media behemoths were already leaning toward Democratic narratives.

In the Obama administration, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, employed espionage measures to monitor Americans.
He was questioned if his agency was gathering any data on Americans during his Senate appearance.
Clapper said no in response to this. Three months later, Edward Snowden, a former agency contractor, leaked materials that claimed Clapper lied to the Senate.
His organization was gathering domestic phone information as well as numerous internet communication methods.
Both Biden and Garland distanced themselves from Montana’s message, which was directly tied to curtailing fundamental human rights, amid public outcry.
The attorney general even promised Congress that the memo would not be used to target anyone who opposed the administration’s policies.
Despite the government’s assertion that the document was not used to scare parents, some investigations have already been begun against parents who objected to federal government programs such as masks and vaccination mandates.
