The Department of Homeland Security has 'paused' it's newly created Disinformation Governance Board, after its head, Nina Jankowicz, was called out for being a Russiagate truther, and going full "libs of TikTok" with creepy Disney-themed songs in a fake British accent - lending to the nickname "Scary Poppins."

According to the Washington Post, the 33-year-old Jankowicz "was thrust into the spotlight by the very forces she dedicated her career to combating," and has been "subject to an unrelenting barrage of harassment and abuse."

Yes, because the head of a brand new Orwellian department shouldn't be questioned.

Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being “paused,” according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution. -WaPo

On Tuesday night, DHS officials had an urgent call with Jankowicz where they gave her the choice to stay the course, even if the work was put on hold.

According to the report, "working groups within DHS focusing on 'mis-, dis- and mal-information have been suspended."

WaPo points to early tweets by journalist Jack Posobiec for launching what became an avalanche of attacks on the "Ministry of Truth."

Jankowicz previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, and advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship. She also oversaw the Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute.

She also sings erotic Harry Potter songs.

And she's a fan of election interference:

According to a DHS spokesperson, "The Board’s purpose has been grossly mischaracterized; it will not police speech," adding "Quite the opposite, its focus is to ensure that freedom of speech is protected."

Let us guess, war is also peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.

Wow, 33 years old. I made her in her mid 50s. Apparently being a batshit crazy leftist cat-lady is hard on her.

The program isn't gone, just back in the shadows with NSA, CIA, DHS, FBI, DOJ, etc.

I recommend looking at the source, especially the comments.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

While the board is on hiatus, its mission will be reviewed by the DHS’s Homeland Security Advisory Council, which is led by former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, a George W. Bush appointee, and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, a Clinton administration official.

They have already been tasked with providing recommendations on how the department can garner public trust surrounding its disinformation efforts. - The Hill, 05/18/22

You cannot make this $**t up.

For some reason, I had placed her in AOC's graduating class, which puts her at, what, 19 years old?

Michael Chertoff is your friend, you should listen to him when he demands you befriend Israel. It's for your own good, the fines extracted by your local bank for low social credit score are just a friendly reminder to do the right thing.
