The Disinformation Governance Board Is Out. The “Foreign Malign Influence Center” Is In.

The Disinformation Governance Board Is Out. The “Foreign Malign Influence Center” Is In.

It's almost as if we could have predicted this from a 'playbook.'

When the government began it's move to acquiesce to the globalist agenda to establish universal monitoring of all human conversations on the internet, it began with a familiar refrain reinforced by a declared national emergency full of disinformation (mostly their own disinformation.)

The Disinformation Governance Board was to contend with the apparently unexpected massive disinformation problem arising from citizens rejecting the prominently echoed narrative... essentially the bulk of the citizenry found that trying to confront disinformation foisted upon them from their own authorities makes all dissenters "disinformation" peddlers. Adding the usual threats of other unnamed citizens posing a direct threat in their "white supremacy" efforts... a topic revived by our sitting president in a most recent speech... imagine that.

The memery that followed was most unfortunate for their efforts, as people jokingly referred to it as "The Ministry of Truth" alluding to Orwell's "1984."

Long story short, the idea had to be ditched like a bad marketing campaign.

Now the next attempt surfaces... they have fallen back to a more effective notional enemy... "anybody else."

The “Foreign Malign Influence Center” will be the "new" office of technocrats, bureaucrats, and political appointees who will ensure our safety against any information they have not sanctioned, and find 'threatening.'

Now, this is what the FMIC has to say for – and about itself – the threat from abroad is constant and “dynamic” – no doubt – but therefore, “informing efforts to counter it requires constant attention, a whole-of-government approach, support from the private sector, and engagement from the public.”

Clearly we need another set of useless middlemen to allow someone to do something they aren't doing now... which is anything.

In the included graphic a text from the newly demonstrates clearly what no one wants to ask... and will just accept as a bullet point on a government graphic:

In it the center will be ...

"The primary US Government organization for analyzing and integrating all intelligence .... pertaining to foreign malign influence and election security..."

Now I could unpack the whole wording use here such as "primary government organization" ... you mean we don't have one already? ... "all" intelligence ... really ... like, I don't know..., just everything... anything? Whatever you want? ... and "influence" ... as in something that might make a citizen dare to "question" policy or narrative?... and what if the person or persons disseminating the information were US citizens... would you NOT have jurisdiction or will there be ample justification to act anyway?

This is not just a slippery slope... this is sloppy and clearly another political move to empower the eventual institution of information monitoring for all... all directed by this "center"... another fiefdom of a political appointee... and all the attendant trappings of big tech, and private industry insiders.

The article directly points to a migration into domestic coverage as matter of 'intentions' but that is just speculation at this point.

As a side comment I have heard assurances that our elections are rock solid and not to be questioned... why is this then necessary to include within the mandate... is there a problem about our election integrity? Is there going to be?

The main thrust seems to be concern that foreign information affects public sentiment... but aren't we a "global" community... or is that only for "public opinion" and the truth is they actually don't want us exposed to foreign information?

Lots of obtuse questions there... And any official first response will predictably be to include those very questions among the reason we need them to protect us...

In the end this organization will simply be used to provide "color of law" for censorship. It is ham-handed, and under-handed at the same time... I can't wait to see which "public sector' hook into this puppet of the control freaks of the universe.

Their motto should read "Tu tantum scies quid tibi dicamus" (You'll know only what we tell you.)

I appreciate your OP. Interesting.
I just hope you don't try to distract from or belittle the other side of the coin: an incoherent society is a volatile society.
Democracy is all about: your opinion matters. Have opinions.
But the inherent danger always is demagogy, ie your opinion is to politics what money is to the economy, your agent of influence.
It's not everything isolated and groovy.
We are at war.
Not one divided by nations, but ideology.
We need to be aware of that in everything we 'consume'.
Because I think we the people are to all sides just a commodity.

Thank you for your response, but I beg to differ on something...

Democracy is all about: your opinion matters. Have opinions.

I disagree... Democracy is all about "Our opinion matters"... Feel "free" to have "our" opinion.

That's where democracy fails always... we will never all have the same opinion ... ever.

The only remedy that makes democracy tolerable is unrestricted communication... which they are reacting to as 'the threat itself.'

The attempt to create the perception that their system is democracy is populist and manipulative...

We are not at war... some of us who insist on this style of "democracy" are warring... whether "we" want that conflict or not.

"Cooperate or be the enemy" is the message.
"Agree or stand apart." is the threat. "Conform or be branded."

"We want democracy" is the battle cry of propagandists...

a reply to: Maxmars

No, in a democracy, if we'd have a real one, we'd debate and hash out plans how to move forward, deal with certain issues, or whatever is on the agenda, vote for what makes the most sense to us and make the best out of whatever gets the most approval.
Alas I understand the misunderstanding, I approached it from the ideal.
You from reality, which is without a doubt a messed up # show, a popularity contest who gets to be pseudo monarch for four years.

I concede that democracy in the ideal is not what I was referring to...

Sadly, according to this 'plan' ... the only ideas we can freely talk about are the ones they approve of.

All information, especially that which is 'foreign' is potentially malignant (except, of course, proclaimed 'globalist' doctrine... which is "automatically" benign... and not really "foreign")

a reply to: Peeple

if it's ME to decides what approved speech is, I'm quite sure I'll be happy with the effort, but if it's YOU, I may not be as happy. That to me solidifies the problem. The one's in charge of this have an agenda, and will use this as just another tool to manipulate opinion of the small minded. And based on the numbers, the small minded make up a good half of who we are.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

They had to create a red herring name that is confusing so most people will ignore the point 😎

With people like Mayorkas at the DHS head now, it's going to be hard to dissolve this. Mayorkas has been embedded in Executive Branch government for decades, along with 100s of other implants.

The Foreign Malign Influence Center racks up a 5Clown rating 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I don't think you have to worry. Nobody would consider your stuff 'influence'.

You're discounting the OP, which seems to indicate that the sword of Damocles will hang over the head of any who engage in free speech in the US ... 'Free speech' meaning exchanging ideas without a third party to 'evaluate' it for their "ideological" approval.

Vigilance is not about militancy... it's about knowing what new 'threats to free speech' are placed into our society... and recognizing that their 'authority' is supposed to come from us... yet I see no signs of "the people's will" in action here... only "the color of law" to be invoked out of fear.

It's akin to creating an organized system of information delivery to ostensibly encourage adoption of a vaccine program... but instead using it to actively (and destructively) engage and suppress all dissent... 'weaponizing it'... so to speak. The cosmetics are benign, the application itself is nothing but malignant.

So it will be with this "center" ...

No. I'm just 'discounting' this

Praise Big Brothers ! Praise Them !



...But HOPE the BIG GUY in The SKY Takes Notice.......

Pretty much everyone I know has been emailing their congress man or woman or it for years now begging for a Foreign Malign Influence Center.
We all feel maligned by something foreign.

Maybe its the devil himself?

Who knows? I am just happy that our government is so reactive! I feel much safer now. Hopefully it will keep transgender and so on people from being dragged by 4 wheel drive trucks driven by white supremicist and funded by Russia. I mean that # has to STOP! I also hope that it will stop any SUV that is inclined to drive through a xmas parade. I am pretty sure that Russia did that as well.
