Irony! Biden Disinfo Board Advisor Once Hinted Discouraging ‘Conflicting Views’ Was Bad

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.

Over 20 former foreign policy and security officials who worked under Republican governments, such as Chertoff signed the August 2016 correspondence. 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”?

Michael Chertoff, a former Homeland Security Secretary was appointed recently by the Biden Administration to be the Orwellian DGB’s advisor. The DGB has not been disbanded but it has paused. 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 was a co-author, during his time in the George W. Bush administration. This law is regarded as a brutal crackdown on civil liberties.

Chertoff wasn’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 was also senior counterterrorism counsel to the anti-Semitic Human Rights Watch. Between 2000 and 2014, Soros provided at least $32,106 746. Daskal is also the founder of Just Security. This blog received $675,000 in Open Society Foundations funding between 2017-2018.
