| Biden puts disinfo 'Mary Poppins' on ice, scraps Orwellian DHS board |
| 2022-05-19 |
| [NYPOST] The Biden administration has "paused" its controversial plans to create a Disinformation Board, causing its would-be leader to resign. In a statement Wednesday, Nina Jankowicz, the "disinformation expert" tapped to head the panel, said that "[w]ith the Board’s work paused and its future uncertain, and [sic] I have decided to leave DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] to return to my work in the public sphere." Jankowicz’s departure and the decision to scrap the board was first reported by the Washington Post. The board had been the subject of weeks of backlash from Republicans, libertarians and even some liberals, who likened the scheme to the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s classic novel "1984." |

| #6 when a bureaucracy gets as far as an organisiation chart, the product never goes away. That's what 'paused' means. But we have all these plans on paper, and filing cabinets, and desks, and stuff! (And I was gonna get my cousin's sister in-law a job there...) |

| #5 Democrats never really give up on any of their hare brained schemes. They just wait until the time is right to ram it down our throats. |

| #4 Pause...as in wait until the current controversy dies down then appoint a new disinformation tsar who is not quite as Loony Tunes as Jankowicz. |

| #1 Publicly it has been scraped. But what happens behind DC close doors now that this trial balloon has been tested. Watch for the DC list of promises like Public Oversight, when they try to bring it back, dusted off and rebranded. |
