An advisor for the Biden administration’s Ministry of Truth once suggested that discouraging differences in opinion at the government level was a bad thing. Irony abounds!
Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) advisor Michael Chertoff signed a letter in 2016 criticizing then-presidential candidate Donald Trump for apparently discouraging “conflicting views.” Signers of the letter said regarding a potential Trump presidency: “In our experience, a President must be willing to listen to his advisors and department heads; must encourage consideration of conflicting views; and must acknowledge errors and learn from them.”
Chertoff’s current positions are ironic in light of that letter he signed opposing Trump’s bid for the presidency. It argued that Trump didn’t encourage enough free speech.
The August 2016 letter was signed by more than 20 national security and foreign policy experts, many of whom served in Republican administrations. One sentence slammed Trump for supposedly lacking “basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions,” including “freedom of the press.”
Chertoff suddenly seems less concerned about a free press now that he’s advising a censorship board.
The letter also claimed that Trump was not likely to “encourage consideration of conflicting views.” The letter’s signers used that same phrasing a second time for emphasis: “He does not encourage conflicting views.” How does the DGB fit into a philosophy of encouraging “conflicting views”?
Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was recently appointed by the Biden administration to assist the Orwellian DGB. It has been reconstituted but is not yet disbanded. Bill Gates and George Soros, leftist globalist billionaires who have donated huge sums of money to the Aspen Institute where Chertoff is an Aspen Cybersecurity Group ex-officio member. Chertoff worked for George W. Bush’s administration and was co-author of The Patriot Act. It is an arguably harsh crackdown against civil liberties.
Chertoff isn’t the only DGB pick to raise red flags. MRC Business discovered that Jennifer Daskal, DGB chairperson has at most three connections with Soros. She served as an Open Society Institute fellow “working on issues related to privacy and law enforcement access to data across borders,” according to her professional bio for American University, where she worked as a law professor. Daskal served as senior counterterrorism counsel at the antisemitic Human Rights Watch between 2000-2014. It received at most $32,106 7,746 from Soros. Daskal also served as the founding editor for Just Security, which was funded by Open Society Foundations with $675,000 between 2017-2019.
