In April of 2022, the Biden administration announced they were rolling out something called the “Disinformation Governance Board.” The official line for the creation of the board was to, “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security.” To head up this new entity, the administration tapped Nina Jankowicz, a smiling, Mary Poppins tunes-singing bureaucrat with kind of a creepy edge. She was described as, “a well-known figure in the field of fighting disinformation and extremism.” Translation, an expert in suppressing free speech.
When the Biden administration was called out for exactly what this was, an attempt at censoring free speech, or as it is otherwise known, speech the Biden administration doesn’t like, they canceled the Disinformation Governance Board and fired Jankowicz. But if you thought that was the end of the Biden administration trying to police Americans’ speech, you would be mistaken. Since the demise of the Disinformation Governance Board, something new has been put into place, under the radar of course. The latest incarnation of the Disinformation Governance Board is called the Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC), and it is under the direction of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
