They call folks who don’t trust the government “domestic terrorists” while engaging in behavior that will only create more of them. SMDH.

Thank you for covering this and I hope you stay on top of where this will lead. It is executive ordered not a congressionally authorized effort within DHS to target free speech. Judge Andrew Napolitano discusses this on his YouTube channel. He comments on the ominous size of the officer force in DHS (60,000) versus the FBI (8,000).

Here are some further ideas for leads to investigate:

I completed a rigorous legitimate 2 year research and policy fellowship in mental health services in 1991-1993 which was competitively awarded by the NIH administered through a legitimate national organization devoted to public mental health services improvement NASMHPD.

https://www.nasmhpd.org/

For such a fellowship there were nationally recognized, credentialed and accomplished mentors appointed to oversee each fellow as well as a locally competed and approved site proposal for each fellow. I still have copies of these proposals. Fellows had extensive learning plans with outcomes that were proposed and approved. At the end of the fellowship an extensive report was submitted about meeting learning objectives, completing proposed activities and producing accomplishments such as peer-reviewed publications, policy papers and technical reports for state governments and community health centers, and grant proposals. I kept these plans and reports. I was exposed to state level politics in multiple states to learn their unique systems, and learned federal policy history, but in no way was the fellowship political or partisan.

What I am suggesting is looking deeply into what the experience and expectations were of a Fulbright Clinton Fellowship. Was it competed? Who supervised? How is it funded and awarded? Tax dollars used? Under what authority? What funds were spent? Who else was in Jankowicz' fellowship cohort? Can you obtain materials like a learning plan and a progress and final report to the funder fulfilling the terms of the fellowship? Do the activities if listed seem legitimate and appropriately detailed? Are there conflicts of interest apparent in the oversight of the fellow? Was something about the usual process of the fellowship subverted for Jankowicz? It is outrageous that a supposedly legitimate fellowship program could produce an outcome like Jankowicz. A fellow would need to spend time in government learning the ropes before being elevated to such a highly visible position. This scenario makes a laughingstock of the hard work and integrity of fellows from other programs. The funder, if federal government, should be FOIA'd for these materials.

I think if you lay bare these details you may hit some revelations.

Happy to answer any further fellowship experience questions. You likely have other followers who can weigh in on this angle.

If the Republicans win in November, one of the first things that they should do is to impeach and remove Mayorkis from office. He has done everything he can to undermine the country and Constitution that he has sworn to protect and defend.

As a person born in that part of the world, I'm quite familiar with the Russian disinformation as a part of Russian authoritarian regime (hint, the media won't tell you much about it other than what they want you to know). You may be unaware of this, but the US government uses Putin's techniques against the opposition. Like, the word "extremism" was coined by Putin, which followed by a crackdown on speech the Russian government deemed "extremist". If you can't charge people with real crimes, invent a new word. Google and YouTube were already censoring content on behalf on the Russian government before 2020. Claiming that opposition to his policies is "foreign-linked" was also a Putin's idea. Should I mention paid trolls on social networks? It makes sense that Biden admin appointed a person very familiar with those techniques.

Narratives are for story tellers and misinformation and disinformation is baloney. How can a civilization stand in the absence of reality based dialogue? This has turned into a trigger word fight and it's a danger to civilized people everywhere and a danger to democracy. People have had questions since the beginning of time, it's not like all of the sudden we became suspicious.

But the experts won't even answer our questions or concerns regarding this new type of technological medication that doesn't seem to work. Of course, some of us are concerned about these shots, we would be naive not to be. All we want is an open dialogue concerning these vaccines with our political leaders and our government health specialists. Instead we get silence, like they're all mute or something. After the door slamming silence in our face, our political leaders fire back at us by calling us names, like - misinformation spreaders, disinformation spreaders, conspiracy theorists. Now, our political leaders are thinking about labeling us as domestic terrorists. It's preposterous. We the people of this country and this world deserve civilized leaders. We deserve civilized leaders who will level with us and speak to us and lead us in good faith. We want the best out of our leaders and we deserve it.

It's not setup to let Biden allies beat on the other guys allies. It's setup to beat on the people and those who try to challenge power. The other party would use it the same to promote the common war industry and banking industry's thievery.

This “support of the current thing” phenomena is not so much a support of the current thing as it is an opportunity for the miserable left to instead hate anyone who does not go out of their way to virtue signal for that current thing.

Another home run Jordan. Not likely anybody in our ruling class uniparty is going to vote against any of this censorship. There are a few true patriots left in our political class but not enough to make a difference.

We have to figure that from this point on, we are on our own and conduct our lives accordingly.

And I don't like how they bundle COVID with Russian misinformation and election fraud. These are two distinctly different subjects.
