Biden Admin Embraces California’s Alarming ‘Disinformation’ Control Plan
Thought police jump off of the pages of George Orwell’s 1984 and into US government
By Katy Grimes, April 28, 2022 2:23 pm
“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms,” Fox News reported.
It appears the Biden administration is embracing yet more of California’s disastrous ideas. But this isn’t an original thought.
The Globe reported in February, Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell) partnered with Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) to prevent the spread of dangerous “misinformation” under the guise of “protecting public health.”
The bill will be “requiring platforms share data with researchers?” Is Sen. Pan referring to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s full-time team combatting COVID propaganda?” In February Gov. Newsom admitted he already has “a team of people at HHS battling in the trenches and on social media trying to push back,” the Globe reported.
“I introduced Senate Bill 1018 to address the amplification of misinformation and disinformation on online platforms by requiring platforms to publicly disclose how their algorithms work and to share data for research purposes,” Sen. Pan said. “Transparency will allow the public to make informed decisions, and lawmakers and researchers need this necessary information so we can hold online platforms accountable and also set standards.”
That screams state censorship of online news platforms by Thought Police.
It was only last summer when White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press conference that the Biden administration was also addressing the amplification of misinformation and disinformation on online platforms by flagging “problematic” posts for Facebook to censor because they contained “misinformation” about COVID-19. “We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID-19 team — given as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue, of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic,” Psaki said, the New York Post reported.
Some of those plans could be hampered with Elon Musk purchasing Twitter.
George Orwell introduced thought police called “Thinkpol” in his 1949 novel, 1984. His “Thinkpol” refers to the group of men and women responsible for monitoring the thoughts of all citizens of Oceania.
SB 1018 passed the Senate Judiciary Committee April 26th.

It’s over……..
I’m glad you’re not on my team…
California now a communist state.
They have no other option for November clearly, they aren’t going to win on ideas. We need to shut people up that disagree with us, thats how they plan to win. Get rid of Trump, get rid of MTG and shut people up. Thats all they have. They don’t care how Orwellian it looks. They need to keep power anyway possible.
I hate to say this but CA’s Pan deserves the worst possible punishment that this state is permitted to do. He’s a vile existence of life on this planet.
Their FEAR of humanity is palpable… Their time is short, and God our redeemer is going to turn it back on them LOL
True. Their traps will all spring on them very soon.
Both of these bills, AB 2098 and SB 1018, are COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS and UNACCEPTABLE. You don’t need to be a constitutional scholar to know they are certainly unconstitutional on their face. Do these legislators care? No. They’re obsessed with crushing people and, apparently, the more that citizens protest and scream about it, the more these maniacs dearly love shoving it up our noses. AB 2098, going after the medical licenses of physicians who won’t toe the propaganda line of these monster legislators. SB 1018, giving them the green light to control info on the internet with the blessing of the state. Sounds like we’re having a nightmare (another one), but no, we’re awake! The Power Disease has seriously made an evil oozing mess out of these people’s brains. How do these tin gods have the chutzpah to even THINK about proposing this garbage?
Write, call your reps. Even if you’ve done it already.
Recommend watching below for a reality check, pep talk, and advice on this Federal attempt by unelected bureaucrats to shut down our protected free speech and further destroy our country, and take what Tucker Carlson says to heart:

What the Dems were chilling and censoring THROUGH Twitter (and other platforms) before the Musk buy, using them as a cover, they are now going to do directly using raw govt power. As you know.
The Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda; RMVP), also known simply as the Ministry of Propaganda (Propagandaministerium), was responsible for controlling the content of the press, literature, visual arts, film, theater, music and radio in Nazi Germany.
The ministry was created as the central institution of Nazi propaganda shortly after the party’s national seizure of power in January 1933. In the Hitler cabinet it was headed by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, who exercised control over all German mass media and creative artists through his ministry and the Reich Chamber of Culture (Reichskulturkammer), which was established in the fall of 1933.

Democrat Assemblyman Evan Low and Democrat Sen. Richard Pan might as well be working for the CCP with their authoritarian legislation? Maybe they are?
Is there any doubt that the Democratic Party is a Communist Party? Seriously.
–“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” Benjamin Franklin
Franklin intended this as a warning. The #DemParty thinks it’s good strategic advice.
Obama’s truth police pick is a complete psychopath. Since she says making fun of Kamala is a crime I will say that the veep is dumb as a bag of rocks. Come arrest me if you dare.
We’ve got six months… and the Dramacrasts will be swept from power by one of the biggest waves this country has ever scene. Most then half the country now believes the 2020 election were fraudulent. The three most popular politicians in the country are all Reps. But most importantly, read the comments where ever they have them and you will see for yourself the shift in attitude towards the Left. There’s a tiny app you can download that shows the “dislikes” on YouTube… and clearly shows why they removed them in the first place. But the comments…. pure gold! And they ARE NOT going to be allowed to cheat this time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. All the momentum is with the conservatives.
That is so ridiculous. Elon will obviously be moving Twitter Headquarters out of San Francisco CA to anyplace he likes. What’s California going to do then, stop the internet at the border? Good luck with that since Elon also owns Starlink.
I wonder what this ministry of truth committee looks like when I’m going city to city and standing on the corner shouting things they don’t agree with. Am I going to be taken away at gunpoint? Clearly they are only talking about electronic information now but thats not the only method of getting a message out and when that gets plugged up, people may be forced to go back to traditional methods like standing in the town square. That shit is gonna be crazy when the truth commission comes in with guns to tell you to shut up.
