Connecticut Offering $150K/Year for Someone to Head Up State’s Own ‘Ministry of Truth’

Although most conservatives find it encouraging that states might take responsibility for implementing policies, this is not the end of the story. When a state places restrictions on freedom and the ability to control the government’s actions, they are able to stop the nation from being free.

The state of Connecticut is looking to pay some authoritarian $150,000/year to head up what sounds like it’s shaping up to be their own version of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Disinformation Governance Board, also popularly known as a “Ministry of Truth.”

The Connecticut Governor is also involved. The operation is funded by Ned Lamont (D), while Secretary of State Denise Merrill oversees the operation. Connecticut Gov.

According to The New York Times:

Concerned about a similar deluge of unfounded rumors and lies around this year’s midterm elections, the state plans to spend nearly $2 million on marketing to share factual information about voting, and to create its first-ever position for an expert in combating misinformation. The person will be paid $150,000 and is expected to search fringe websites like 4chan and far-right social networking sites like Gettr and Rumble. This will help to identify early misinformation stories about voting and urge companies to delete or flag false posts.

All of that information should be very telling, because — by the logic given above — they don’t seem to be concerned in the least with any “misinformation” coming from left-leaning sources or organizations.

It’s not bias at all.

“Misinformation can erode people’s confidence in elections,” Connecticut Deputy Secretary of State Scott Bates said, “and we view that as a critical threat to the democratic process.”

You have to be fluent in BS to understand the words of a bureaucrat, and whenever someone on the left — or a RINO, for that matter — talks about “the democratic process,” what they’re really referring to is the mission of the Democratic Party — or the “Uni-Party,” if you want to go there.

The New York Times also noted that other states are beginning to take measures “meant to spread accurate information about” multiple issues they claim to be concerned with.

Oregon, Idaho, Arizona and other states have education and advertisement campaigns via the internet. These are meant to help spread accurate information regarding polling times, eligibility, absentee voting, etc. Three cybersecurity specialists have been hired by Colorado to check for misinformation on websites. California’s office of the secretary of state is searching for misinformation and working with the Department of Homeland Security [DHS]academics should look out for signs of misinformation on the web.

Here’s the question I’ll leave you with. If states, like California, are working with DHS to essentially do the same thing that the aforementioned Disinformation Governance Board would’ve done on a nationwide basis, how do actions like these not eventually get turned over to federal agencies — or the dreaded Ministry of Truth?
