Perhaps Nothing Could Have Prevented It…

     …but whatever the case, actual government censorship has arrived:

     The Department of Homeland Security is setting up a new board designed to counter misinformation related to homeland security, with a focus specifically on Russia and irregular migration. The board will be called the “Disinformation Governance Board, and will be headed by executive director Nina Jankowicz….

     President Biden has decided the federal government will launch a Disinformation Governance Board under the authority of the Homeland Security Department.

     Did you just think they would let you have free speech back?

     You can see where this is going, can’t you, Gentle Reader? People such as your humble Curmudgeon will shortly come in for government attention. Visits from unpleasant persons with federal badges. We’ll be told that it’s not in the national interest for us to speak our minds. And our visitors will hint at corrective actions that might be taken should we persist.

     Countering “misinformation,” you see, is so much easier when the purveyors of such “misinformation” are first persuaded to cease to promulgate it. It probably won’t be overt, at least at first. But it’s the logical trajectory of things, given the developments above.

     Combine this with…well, with everything else:

• The drive for involvement in the Ukraine / Russia war;
• The ongoing destruction of the dollar;
• The shortfall of energy supplies;
• The accelerating food crisis;
• The Usurpers’ weakening grip on power.

     Damn it all, we waited too long. We should have locked, loaded, and marched immediately after it became indisputable that the 2020 elections were stolen. What do we do now?

     Don’t expect the midterms to make a difference. This measure is being put in place to ensure their theft, using essentially the same techniques that purloined the 2020 elections.

     Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States.

     I think I’m going to get drunk.
