DHS has lawyers too, plenty of them. Any investigation needs to ask what they felt about this unprecedented redefinition of 'disinformation' to mean not foreign lies but domestic political views.

IC has always stayed far away from this, wisely. DHS wasn't so wise, it seems.

The Global Engagement Center inside the State Department is the proper agency to counter foreign disinformation. There is no proper agency for censoring views of American citizens - especially a quasi police entity like DHS.

This is the craziest true (and ugly) Cold War espionage-wetwork story -- how a secret spy program to hunt down Nazi war criminals turned into a global Murder Inc with innocent victims -- but nobody really knows about it in any detail.

I only know because it was my job to know.

'Biden’s DHS advocated using third-party nonprofit groups as a 'clearing house for information to avoid the appearance of government propaganda.' That’s what is called a 'cut-out' in the spy trade, a deniable intermediary... to spread political propaganda from the White House...'

DHS was always awful -- Dubya's worst idea not called Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Biden has weaponized it for partisan ends -- just as many feared would happen.

Now, it has.

There are few terms more calculated to cause a political ruckus than 'deep state,' writes John Schindler.

Now, under President Joe Biden, powerful federal agencies have acted in exactly the manner that many Republicans feared.

Today at 財團法人國防安全研究院 INDSR Taipei Security Dialogue, I spoke about territorial & reservist force lessons from Ukraine for defense of Taiwan.

I took Володимир Зеленський T-Shirt 'I need ammo, not a ride' to stress out the need for real political will & huge stocks, not only policies and words.

This unconstitutional outrage and abuse of USG power didn't happen under Clinton.

Not under Dubya.

Not under Obama.

Not even under Trump.

It's new and it's happening under Biden.

Time to blow the whistle and demand answers.

'That’s what is called a 'cut-out' in the spy trade, the use of a deniable intermediary. Biden’s DHS wanted to use ostensibly private cut-outs to spread political propaganda approved by the White House, paid for with taxpayer money.' ~ John Schindler

'I’ve been countering disinformation since the 1990s, and the line between foreign lies and domestic views was always clear inside the Beltway. At least until Biden entered the White House. What’s been going on in Washington is illegal and un-American.'

'Dear journalists who have pontificated for years about how 'democracy dies in darkness' — here’s your chance to stand up for free speech and keeping the government away from our cherished values.'

'While Oslo is rightly getting the media attention at present, to any veteran counterspy, it’s Mikushin’s time in Canada which raises the more tantalizing questions.'

'This case exemplifies the difficulty of maintaining cover – especially for any deep-cover operative like an Illegal who’s masquerading as a third-country national – in our current age, when everybody leaves some sort of electronic trail.'
