Congressman Tells DHS Secretary Mayorkas During Testimony: ‘You Have Repeatedly Lied’…
HE’S A LAWYER. HE IS INCAPABLE OF BEING HONEST IF YOU BRIBED HIM!
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration's oilest, slipperiest, most mendacious cabinet member, was put through the congressional wringer Wednesday and Thursday, over his "turnstyle" border policies as he well should have been.
Former Vice President Joe Biden will nominate Alejandro Mayorkas to run the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite his role in creating huge Latin American migration and his involvement in several visas-for-sale scandals.
Mayorkas Says Biden Administration is Creating a ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ to Monitor Speech
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified in the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday that the Biden Administration is creating, under the authority of DHS, a “Disinformation Governance Board.”
This new government agency will apparently monitor speech for what it deems “mis- and disinformation” in the interest of combating what Mayorkas described as a “threat not only to election security but to our homeland security.”
“We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security but to our homeland security,” Mayorkas told the committee.
Mayorkas revealed the creation of this new government agency in response to a question from Rep. Jim Langevin (D.-R.I.).
“Mr. Secretary, can you tell us what the Department's doing to shore up election security from Russian cyber interference, give confidence to the committee and the American people that we've got this and we are ready to protect and defend our electoral process?” Langevin asked.
“Congressman, thank you very much. This is one of our priority areas,” Mayorkas responded. “And as a matter of fact, just a few weeks ago I engaged with secretaries of state from all over the country to focus our efforts on elections security. We are building upon the great work of the former CISA Director Chris Krebs. Jen Easterly is leading of course the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in this effort.
“We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security but to our homeland security,” Mayorkas said.
“We are disseminating information to the secretaries of state. We are counseling them and providing resources to ensure better physical security,” he continued.
“We are addressing all aspects of election security given, of course, the midterm elections that are upon us and the fundamental integrity of our democratic processes that is at stake,” said Mayorkas.

Russia Hoaxer Hillary Decries Online ‘Disinformation’
Another ominous sign that the Left is stepping up its campaign against free speech.
The Leftist elites gave us another ominous sign that they’re stepping up their campaign against the freedom of speech when Hillary Clinton tweeted Thursday: “For too long, tech platforms have amplified disinformation and extremism with no accountability. The EU is poised to do something about it. I urge our transatlantic allies to push the Digital Services Act across the finish line and bolster global democracy before it’s too late.” Apparently in order to “bolster global democracy,” we have to kill it and allow only opinions that the elites approve to be published and circulated. Not surprisingly, Hillary revealed herself in this tweet to be not only an opponent of the freedom of speech, and therefore of free society itself, but also a hypocrite.
This is, after all, the same Hillary Clinton who tweeted on Oct. 31, 2016, eight days before the 2016 presidential election: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.” However, the Washington Times reported just under five years later, on Oct. 21, 2021, that “Special counsel John Durham has obtained the complete FBI investigative file on the bureau’s conclusion that there was no secret internet communication channel in 2016 between then-candidate Donald Trump and Alfa Bank, a large Russian lender controlled by Kremlin-tied billionaire oligarchs.”
So was Hillary peddling “disinformation”? Not knowingly, perhaps, but neither she nor Barack Obama, who has likewise begun a campaign against the freedom of speech recently, have ever given any indication that they think “disinformation” is any less worthy to be silenced if those who are spreading it sincerely believe that it is true. Thus by Hillary’s own standards, she should be silenced for the “disinformation” about Trump’s collusion with Russia that she spread so assiduously over the years and that turned out to be completely false.
But everyone knows that will never happen. Everyone also knows, of course, that when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama decry “disinformation,” they don’t mean false or inaccurate statements that they themselves or their allies have made. The only “disinformation” they have in mind is that which comes from their political opponents, and even if what those opponents say is entirely true, it will be classified as “disinformation” and censored accordingly if Hillary and Obama and company decide that it is not expedient for the advancement of the Leftist narrative.
Clinton has shown herself to be an opponent of the freedom of speech before. Back when she was Secretary of State, the Obama administration attempted to curtail the First Amendment in numerous ways, including at the United Nations. In October 2009, the U.S. government lent its support to a UN Human Rights Council resolution declaring that “negative racial and religious stereotyping” should be outlawed. The resolution stated that UN member states should condemn and criminalize “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.”
Then in notorious remarks at a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in 2011, Clinton claimed that “in the United States, I will admit, there are people who still feel vulnerable or marginalized as a result of their religious beliefs. And we have seen how the incendiary actions of just a very few people, a handful in a country of nearly 300 million, can create wide ripples of intolerance.” She blamed this on the freedom of speech: “We also understand that, for 235 years, freedom of expression has been a universal right at the core of our democracy.” But she had a solution: “So we are focused on promoting interfaith education and collaboration, enforcing antidiscrimination laws, protecting the rights of all people to worship as they choose, and to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.”
Clinton recommended using “peer pressure and shaming” to keep people from saying what she didn’t want them to say, and given the Left’s promiscuous use of charges of “racism” and “bigotry” against even the mildest dissenting word, it’s hard not to conclude that her recommendation has been heeded. The new word for speech the Left wants to silence, as both Clinton’s and Obama’s recent statements make clear, is “disinformation.” It’s a canny choice. Nobody wants to see actual disinformation spreading and influencing the public discourse. But what if the real disinformation peddlers were the ones who are most loudly and insistently calling for censorship of what they consider to be disinformation? Then you’d be describing the state of affairs in our unhappy republic as of April 23, 2022.

Elon Musk on Biden's Disinformation Governance Board: 'This Is Messed Up'
(CNS News) -- In response to Judicial Watch's comment that the Department of Homeland Security is now operating a "Ministry of Truth," like in George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, billionaire businessman Elon Musk tweeted, "This is messed up."
On Wednesday, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, testified before Congress and revealed that his department is now operating a "Disinformation Governance Board." Its alleged purpose is to monitor speech and look for “mis- and disinformation” to protect "election security" and "homeland security.”
“We have just established a mis- and disinformation governance board in the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this threat not only to election security but to our homeland security,” Mayorkas told the House Homeland Security Committee.
“We are addressing all aspects of election security given, of course, the midterm elections that are upon us and the fundamental integrity of our democratic processes that is at stake,” he added.
Mayorkas' revelation was roundly denounced by many Republican lawmakers, civil libertarians, and legal experts.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a non-profit government watchdog, tweeted, "'Ministry of Truth'" is trending [on Twitter] because Biden admin appointed a radical leftist to run a censorship board in the Department of Homeland Security a few days after @ElonMusk purchase of @Twitter announced."
Musk's bid to purchase the globally influential social media platform was accepted by Twitter's Board of Directors. He is expected to take full control of the company in about six months, a step that leftists, many Democrats, and the liberal media have criticized.
In response to Fitton's tweet about the Disinformation Governance Board, the "Ministry of Truth," Musk replied by tweet, " This is messed up."
In a subsequent tweet, Fitton announced that Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit with the DHS about its "Ministry of Truth efforts to restrict and censor free speech."
On Twitter, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said, "Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a 'Ministry of Truth.' The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called 'Disinformation Governance Board.'"
Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted, "The Biden Administration’s creation of a 'disinformation' bureau within DHS is effectively a Ministry of Truth that is alien to our constitutional tradition. Florida rejects Biden’s attempt to enforce regime-approved narratives and to stifle dissent."

JUDICIAL WATCH’S TEN MOST CORRUPT LIST
President Barack Obama: During his presidential campaign, President Obama promised to run an ethical and transparent administration. However, in his first year in office, the President has delivered corruption and secrecy, bringing Chicago-style political corruption to the White House. JUDICIAL WATCH
https://ca-judicial-performance-hoax.blogspot.com/2022/04/lawless-lawyers-bankster-regime-of.html
It was while Joe Biden was vice-president that the flood gates opened and what was a domestic influence-peddling business expanded globally into Ukraine, China, Russia and Kazakhstan, among other nations. The layers of greed and unabashed willingness to sell access to the second-highest office in the country is mind-boggling. The most egregious examples are five deals with the Communist Chinese and the subsequent payments to Hunter Biden and the Biden family valued at $31 million.
For the past five decades, the legacy media and virtually all of Washington, D.C. has known about Joe Biden’s corruption and penchant for being a serial fabulist and compulsive liar. However, when Donald Trump was elected President, he was immediately inundated with false and hyperbolic corruption charges.

Elizabeth Warren: We Need Big Tech ‘Rules’ to ‘Break’ Elon Musk’s Stranglehold
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter shows America needed “rules of the road for big tech.”
Melber asked, “You have warned about the growing power of big tech. What do you see in Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter?”
Warren said, “I see that we need to make two big changes. The first one is we need a wealth tax in America. Let’s talk about how Elon’s purchase here was subsidized by tens of millions of people who have paid their taxes every year. The second part is we need rules of the road for big tech. But ultimately, what all of this boils down to is power. Who’s going to have the power in our country? Are we going to make these decisions as a democracy, or is this going to be Elon Musk all by himself off in a room, a bazillionaire who just plays by his own set of rules, and that’s really what’s at stake here.”
She added, “We need rules of the road, and look. There are going to be rules. Like I said, the only question is will Elon Musk decide all of the rules by himself in a darkroom, or is it going to be the case that we’re going to decide this as a country? We’re going to make rules in a democracy.”
Warren added, “Rules of the road could help facilitate that kind of competition and frankly, break the stranglehold of someone like Elon Musk coming in and owning the whole thing.”
