And so, it begins. The Democrats, who continually lie to Americans about how the Republicans are trying to destroy democracy in this country, just did it themselves with the single sweep of a pen. Biden has created the Disinformation Governance Board as a part of Homeland Security to go after those whose disinformation “may be descending into violence.” Disinformation, of course, will be determined by the Biden administration and “ descending into violence” might well be like the poor parents who dared to speak out at school board meetings about what their children were being taught.
This “Ministry of Truth” plunges America into the culture of the Soviet Union and of Nazi Germany both of which had just such organizations to police the thoughts and words of its people. It is a not surprising move in response to the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk who has vowed to make Twitter a forum of free speech which it has not been since prominent conservatives including former President Trump have been kicked off the platform one by one for “hate speech.” “Hate speech” is, of course, defined as anything that the progressive left Democrats do not agree with.
Presumably, Homeland Security will send its officers after people who say things on social media be it Twitter, Facebook or some other platform that the left and/or this administration do not agree with. Whether those individuals will face fines or jail time or just be frightened into silence we do not know, but that this is wholly antithetical to the Constitution and the laws of this country is certain. Apparently cancelling and doxing those who say things that are contrary to their propaganda isn’t enough for the leftist Democrats anymore. Hopefully a Republican Congress will be able to use the power of the purse and other means to rid us of such a totalitarian bureau of censoring speech if it is not vanquished by the courts before then!
But of course, this move should come as no surprise to any of us. Look what has been done in the past by the Democrats under Obama. Fox News reporter James Rosen was harassed by the Justice Department for reporting on a story about North Korea that contained classified information. That is the job of a reporter, to ferret out the truth, but Obama’s administration named him as a possible co-conspirator for a time. When Obama was running for his second term in office, a number of conservative groups had sprung up in response to Obamacare and filed for non-profit exemptions, but the IRS targeted them, refusing to grant the exemptions thus making it impossible for them to campaign against Obama. The IRS has since had to apologize, but no one was held accountable for the action.
The FBI doctored paperwork in order to obtain FISA warrants to let them spy on Trump campaign officials, and on the Trump campaign itself. Then they used what they knew was highly dubious Democrat National Committee and Clinton Campaign purchased information to run an on-going investigation into collusion between President Trump and Russia which cost the taxpayers millions of dollars, wasted hours of time in both the House and the Senate, and resulted in the obvious conclusion that there had been no collusion. It was all an elaborate hoax. Then recently, when parents in Virginia began complaining about the teaching of Critical Race Theory in their schools, Attorney General Merrick Garland solicited a letter from the Association of School Boards expressing concern for their physical safety. The Association obligingly sent the letter and the FBI was dispatched to put down the rather dubious threat of violence from parents. Now, in some districts, policemen attend school board meetings and at least one father was jailed for daring to speak out while others have simply been silenced and escorted out.
But there is a line that appears in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice: “Truth will out.” Biden’s “Ministry of Truth” may try to silence the voices that speak the truth in America, but we will no longer be silenced. Remember the crowds chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” and meaning something far less respectful about Biden. Remember the signs appearing at gas stations with Biden’s picture and an arrow pointing to the gas prices saying “I did this.” You can buy “Let’s Go Brandon” tee shirts and mugs with a Dr. Seuss-type poem that says: “Let’s Go Brandon. I do not like your mental haze. I do not like your leftist ways. I do not like your son on blow. I do not like you. . . Sleepy Joe.”
Americans are fed up. Governor DeSantis of Florida has already announced that you cannot have a Ministry of Truth in the United States, and so, the state of Florida will be fighting back. I cannot think that the rest of the Republican states will be far behind! If not, America, the land of the free and the home of the brave will have ceased to exist!
