After a successful launch on the America Out Loud Network, I found myself shocked. I had been put on a “disinformation” list by someone, followed by my State Senator. There was no warning, no investigation or justification; my name now sat alongside 108 others. On the list with me: Ben Shapiro, Tom Fitton, Mollie Hemingway, Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, and many other prominent names. Perhaps I should celebrate my newfound celebrity?
This led me to begin investigating. I wanted to ask people when they first heard the word “disinformation.” Most responded that they first heard the term used during the social media notifications of Covid disinformation. No one could properly identify the origins of the word. My research led me to discover that the word was used for communist propaganda by the KGB. Could our country be using the disinformation label for the same goals and objectives? Were they weaponizing a word against citizens?
The United States Disinformation Governance Board was announced in April of 2022 as a subcommittee approval for the budget on Homeland Security. This work was begun under President Trump in 2020, and continued under President Biden through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. There was assurance that Americans would not be monitored. The first head was Nina Jankowicz, who publicly stated that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Trump campaign product. This has since been proven false, and Jankowicz resigned as she was a spreader of disinformation.
So how can we trust government when those in charge are guilty of the very thing they are tasked with overseeing. In comic book terms, “Who watches the Watchmen?”
Join this episode as I explore my findings and relate them to Deborah Birx and her disinformation regarding Covid science and research.
