Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) torched the Biden Department of Homeland Security’s attempt at establishing a Disinformation Governance Board, noting its similarities to Big Government tyranny in Russia.
Although Russia and the U.S. seem to be enemies mortally, Paul stated that the Disinformation Governance Board proves that the Biden regime isn’t too different from Russia in terms of its methods to coerce public opinion. “I’m hoping it’s gone and gone for good. They say it’s suspended, but whether or not it’s lurking in hibernation and is going to come rearing back, we don’t know for certain,” Paul explained in a May 24 interview with NewsMax. “But what we do know is that when the government decides what disinformation is, it often has a secondary motive or a motive of trying to squelch, basically, the opposition.”
Paul compared the United States to modern Russia, suggesting that Russia would sic it’s own equivalent of former disinformation czar Nina JankowiczOn political dissidents
“Right now in Russia, they have disinformation governance boards, and basically if you speak out against the war or say that there actually is a war, the government will come after you with some probably crazy woman like this woman they wanted to appoint in the Biden administration, and basically they have criminal penalties for disinformation.”
The Biden administration attempted to hide its power over American dissidents by using Big Tech as a means of achieving its goals. “The Biden administration would argue, ‘Oh we’re not going todo criminal penalties,’ this and that, but they have said that they would utilize Big Tech and Big Tech would serve as sort of the police of speech and the government would collect names, report them to them, and then Big Tech would respond.”
Paul suggested that a libertarian approach to Big Tech companies is no longer viable when Big Tech companies act on behalf of a totalitarian government: “I worry about Big Tech becoming an arm of the government, and as much as I’m for leaving them alone for the most part, if they begin to engage as a police or an arm of the government, it’s going to make them more and more open to the idea that perhaps their speech and their content and their ability to publish the content could likely come under a government review or regulation.”
Jankowicz played a huge part in destroying the board’s credibility because she had a history of spreading false information herself.
False Trump-Russia collusion talk points were spread by her, ranging from the false 2016 Alfa Bank narrative to applauding a speech which recited the Steele Dossier. Critics often compared her short-lived board to the “Ministry of Truth” from George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
