										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With great fanfare, the Biden administration will unleash their latest mechanism to <em>save Democracy,</em> led by a previously irrelevant partisan millennial.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/who-nina-jankowicz-head-joe-biden-disinformation-governance-board-1701677" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek, 4/28/22</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Controversy&#8221; is an understatement.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/psaki-defends-nina-jankowicz-claims-dhs-disinformation-board-continuation-work-under-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psaki claimed Nina Jankowicz is an &#8216;expert&#8217; with &#8216;extensive qualifications&#8217; to lead DHS&#8217; Governance Board</a></strong><br />

<p>Yes, it was that bad&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v10coog/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Nina Jankowicz is a classic test case for the liberal affliction known as psychotic &#8220;projection&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22989 size-medium" title="Nina Jankowicz on &quot;How to Lose the Information War&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-book.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>So, who exactly is Nina Jankowicz? Certainly, not a person with any concerns about preserving freedom of speech or expression. A quick look at her Twitter history is enough to dispel that. When Facebook permanently banned Donald Trump from its service, Nina was in the wings complaining that this punishment was not harsh enough. Through a metaphor, Nina explained that only mass bans on hundreds or thousands of accounts would be enough to “fix” the disinformation “problem.”<br />

<p>So, why this now? Why is Joe Biden okay with forming such an ominous-sounding agency within DHS. Knowing Joe as we all do, it CAN&#8217;T be Joe&#8217;s idea or regarding Elon Musk&#8217;s acquisition of Twitter. What is this really about?</p>
<p>Could it be between now and the midterm election, a couple of major players in the Democrat Party could be at the center of uncomfortable attention; a couple of Democrats who MUST be protected at all costs?</p>

<p>Interesting how this &#8220;disinformation&#8221; topic came out of nowhere and considering how many media outlets still have egg crusts on their faces for distributing Hillary&#8217;s Trump-Russia-collusion bullshit for four-plus years that distracted a presidential campaign, hampered a transition team, and kneecapped a presidency. It had to have been green-lighted by Hillary and Obama had to have known.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/John-Durham.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-9062 size-medium" title="John Durham" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/John-Durham-120x150.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/John-Durham-120x150.jpg 120w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/John-Durham-500x625.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/John-Durham.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px" /></a>John Durham knows. He just has to have every i dotted and t crossed before he certifies proof of the greatest political scandal in American history. And when that happens, all involved in the conspiracy can&#8217;t depend on the legacy media to do all the heavy lifting. They&#8217;ll need something more and this is where Nina Jankowicz comes in.</p>
<p>Of all the old-and-reliable useful idiots Biden (or whomever) could have appointed for this DHS gig, he chose an expendable nutcase who&#8217;ll fit nicely under the bus when she goes after anyone and everyone who reports what may be coming from the special counsel. As usual when in the company of the like-minded, people like Jankowicz feel free to tell the truth about who they are, what they want, and what they&#8217;re willing (or not) to do to get it&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">President Biden’s new disinformation czar Nina Jankowicz once belted out a raunchy parody version of a Christmas song — changing the lyrics to ask who she needed to “fuck” to be “famous and powerful,” according to resurfaced YouTube footage. “I want to be rich, famous, and powerful! Step on all my enemies and never do a thing,” Jankowicz sang in the clip from 2015.</span><br />

<p>Looks like she got what she wanted. How&#8230;? We won&#8217;t ask.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Big-Sister.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23013 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Big-Sister-150x162.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="162" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Big-Sister-150x162.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Big-Sister.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Instead of being banned from a social media cite, Jankowicz could conceivably send goons with sub-machine guns kicking in the doors of Americans who shared a post embarrassing to Joe, Barack, Hillary, and Democrats as a whole.</p>
<p>After all, some things take relatively small amounts of intelligence to pull off.</p>
<p>So while it will be formerly known as the Disinformation Governance Board, it&#8217;s really going to be <strong>Disinformation Projection Board</strong> because like most of the so-called scandals specifically blamed on President Donald Trump, it turns out the Democrat left actually did the things the accused others of doing with no accountability.</p>
<p>For now.</p>

<p>It would appear the bully got too much a taste of her own medicine, and like most bullies, she ran away.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://twitter.com/dnvolz/status/1526960062194925575">In a statement Wednesday<span style="color: #808080;">,</span></a><span style="color: #808080;"> 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.</span></p>

Whenever a liberal claims to be &#8220;mischaracterized&#8221;, it means uncomfortable truth was made public.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23147 size-medium" title="Nina Jankowicz" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-150x99.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="99" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-150x99.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-768x509.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Jankowicz.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Jankowicz’s idea of standing up for the First Amendment included</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/12/nina-jankowicz-says-verified-twitter-users-should-edit-tweets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">letting “verified” Twitter users “edit” other users’ tweets</a> <span style="color: #808080;">if the blue-checked chosen think they’re misleading. Jankowicz also repeatedly tried to spread doubt about The Post’s own reporting about Hunter Biden’s notorious laptop, telling the Associated Press in October 2020 that it should be viewed as “a Trump campaign product.” In addition, Jankowicz</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/10/dhs-disinformation-czar-jankowicz-pushed-trump-russia-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pushed the since-debunked claim</a> <span style="color: #808080;">in 2016 that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had a tie to Kremlin-linked Alfa-Bank, an allegation at the center of an ongoing trial of a Clinton campaign lawyer accused by special counsel John Durham of lying to the FBI.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The misinformation maven was also ripped for a bizarre TikTok performance from February 2021 in which she altered the lyrics to the “Mary Poppins” song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” to be about fake news.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/18/biden-admin-pauses-disinformation-governance-board-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post, 5/18/22</a></p>
<p>Jankowicz probably had been working on a landing spot long before her &#8220;announcement&#8221;. She&#8217;ll be back at work creating musical, pro-Democrat misinformation soon enough. After all, it IS what Nina does best.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Elias’ name has been linked to Democrats running for office for years, as he was previously a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie. That is the same firm that was hired by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and it was Elias who was involved in bringing on Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump – the research that included Christopher Steele’s dossier.</span><br />

<p>There&#8217;s been a consistent over the last couple decades or so: if the Democrat wins, we know the final results that night. If the Republican wins, the calling of the election is delayed until the Democrats find enough votes to overturn the initial result. It appears this will probably happen in Virginia.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Democratic Party of Virginia has filed a lawsuit alleging that local branches of the U.S. Postal Service failed to process and deliver election-related material ahead of the gubernatorial election between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin. The </span><a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-10-22-DPVA-USPS-Complaint-AS-FILED.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a><span style="color: #808080;">, filed Friday, contends that more than 300,000 Virginians are likely to attempt to cast their ballots by mail this cycle, but USPS did not deliver the requested ballots promptly and therefore is threatening to disenfranchise thousands of Virginia voters.</span></p>
<p>Funny how the suit filer knows a specific number.</p>

<p>Think about it: the Founding Fathers didn&#8217;t seek to keep blacks from holding public office, or women or the uneducated or the alcoholic or the heathen or animals or even the mentally challenged. No, there was one group of people the Founders specifically targeted for disqualification from politics.</p>
<p>It was the lawyers.</p>
<p>They attempted to do so Constitutionally.</p>

Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th Amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. <strong>Moreover, after studying the Amendment&#8217;s language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this &#8220;missing&#8221; 13th Amendment was to prohibit lawyers from serving in government.</strong> In June of this year (1991), <strong>Dodge uncovered the evidence that this missing 13th Amendment had indeed been lawfully ratified by the state of Virginia and was therefore an authentic Amendment to the American Constitution. If the evidence is correct and no logical errors have been made, a 13th Amendment restricting lawyers from serving in government was ratified in 1819 and removed from US Constitution during the tumult of the Civil War. Since the Amendment was never lawfully repealed, it is still the Law today.</strong> <strong>The implications are enormous.</strong></span><br />

<p>Why would the authors of the Constitution want lawyers as far away from our political system as possible?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19509 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-100x100.png" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-100x100.png 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-150x150.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-125x125.png 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo.png 316w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" />In Colonial America, attorneys trained attorneys but most held no “title of nobility” or “honor”. There was no requirement that one be a lawyer to hold the position of district attorney, attorney general, or judge; a citizen’s “counsel of choice” was not restricted to a lawyer; there were no state or national bar associations. The only organization that certified lawyers was the International Bar Association (IBA), chartered by the King of England, headquartered in London, and closely associated with the international banking system. Lawyers admitted to the IBA received the rank “Esquire” — a “title of nobility”.</span></p>
<p>We DO see a lot of lawyers with &#8220;Esquire&#8221; after their names&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19506 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire-150x186.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="186" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire-150x186.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />“Esquire” was the principle title of nobility which the 13th Amendment sought to prohibit from the United States. Why? Because the loyalty of “Esquire” lawyers was suspect. Bankers and lawyers with an “Esquire” behind their names were agents of the monarchy, members of an organization whose principle purposes were political, not economic, and regarded with the same wariness that some people today reserve for members of the KGB or the CIA.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec9.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Article 1, Sect. 9 of the Constitution</a> <span style="color: #808080;">sought to prohibit the International Bar Association </span></strong><em><span style="color: #808080;">(or any other agency that granted titles of nobility)</span></em><strong><span style="color: #808080;"> from operating in America. But the Constitution neglected to specify a penalty, so the prohibition was ignored, and agents of the monarchy continued to infiltrate and influence the government </span></strong><em><span style="color: #808080;">(as in the Jay Treaty and the US Bank charter incidents)</span></em><strong><span style="color: #808080;">.</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Therefore, a “title of nobility” amendment that specified a penalty </strong>(loss of citizenship)<strong> was proposed in 1789, and again in 1810. The meaning of the amendment is seen in its intent to prohibit persons having titles of nobility and loyalties to foreign governments and bankers from voting, holding public office, or using their skills to subvert the government.</strong></span><br />

Wray, Janet Reno, Mazie Hirono, Dick Durbin, Ed Markey, John Warner, Jennifer Granholm, Jackie Speier, Jerrold Nadler, Adam Schiff, Janet Napolitano, William Weld, Maggie Hassan, Stacey Abrams, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Andrew Yang, Liz Cheney, Lori Lightfoot, Gretchen Whitmer, Rashida Tlaib, Robert Mueller, Hank Johnson, Eric Schneiderman, Richard Blumenthal, Ben Cardin, Steny Hoyer, Cory Booker, Letitia James, Sheldon Whitehouse, Janet Mills&#8230; like roaches, there are a lot of them.</p>
<p><strong>Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution</strong>, in a very forceful way, suggests lawyers shouldn&#8217;t be trusted and would use &#8220;their skills to subvert the government&#8221;. How insightful considering how we currently have lawyers like Marc Elias running around, who caused enough mayhem to not only successfully subvert the Trump Administration with fictions acted upon by government agencies and amplified by a partisan media.</p>
<p>The distraction of the Civil War prevented the intention and ratification of the 13th Amendment, which was quite clear.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-130242" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment.jpg 1221w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment-150x107.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment-768x547.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Missing-13th-Amendment-500x356.jpg 500w" alt="" width="749" height="534" /></a></p>
<p>Think about how many vague and unnecessary laws wouldn&#8217;t be written if they were authored by non-lawyers. Those that were written would be brief and spelled out in plain English; not today&#8217;s standard legalese that require reams of paper in order to be submitted and a law degree to decipher.</p>
<p>So as election night in Virginia rolls around, it won&#8217;t be like the old days when you could stay up to 10 or 11pm and get the final results. It could be a relatively early night if McAuliffe has a sizable lead and is declared the winner. Even if Glenn Youngkin is winning by as much as 10% or more, he won&#8217;t be declared the winner and McAuliffe won&#8217;t concede. We&#8217;ll be told to wait for ALL the outstanding votes to be counted, no matter where they&#8217;re coming from and who sent them.</p>
<p>And behind it all, again, will be Marc Elias&#8230; a lawyer.</p>

<p>In simpler words, Joe Biden won the election, there was no cheating, the &#8220;media&#8221; said so; shut the fuck up&#8230; or else.</p>
<p>Dominion Voting Systems is even going as far as issuing million dollar lawsuits against anyone who dare imply their machines did anything to alter the solemn votes of Americans in favor of one candidate over another.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all have policies against spreading election-related misinformation.

<p>If ANY mention of voting machine &#8220;irregularities&#8221; can and will be met with a lawsuit, why are voting machines being blamed for an election loss?</p>

<p>Uh oh.</p>
<p>And what lawyer, who values his or her license to practice and speak freely, would risk it all to imply a Dominion voting system provided problematic results in an election?</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In the congressional race for New York’s 22nd district, Republican Claudia Tenney currently leads incumbent Democrat Anthony Brindisi by a razor-thin margin of 125 votes. Tenney declared victory on Tuesday, though challenges </span><a href="https://www.uticaod.com/story/news/politics/elections/2021/02/02/ny-22-tenney-declares-victory-over-brindisi-results-not-final/4354707001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">continue</a><span style="color: #808080;">.

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Citing alleged discrepancies between votes counted by hand and votes counted by ballot machines, Elias argued that the error rate, extrapolated across the entire district, could mean that thousands of votes were improperly counted by the machines.</span></strong></p>
<p>Marc Elias has made a nice living casting doubt and trying to overturn the results of elections; ONLY elections where the Democrat lost.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17213 size-medium" title="Marc Elias" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Elias.jpg 474w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Elias is also representing defeated Democrat Rita Hart in Iowa’s 1st congressional district, who lost by six votes to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller Meeks (R-IA). He is asking the Democrat-controlled House to overturn the result of the election and seat Hart, despite certification of the vote by state election authorities, bypassing Iowa courts in the process.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In addition, as Breitbart News has noted, <strong>“Elias was responsible for hiring opposition research firm Fusion GPS, on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, [which produced] the fraudulent “Russia dossier” on then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.”</strong></span><br />

<p>Of course, and as usual, the hypocrisy is in your face.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Democrat who lost a race in 2020 due to voting irregularities with a Dominion voting machine, everything necessary can and will be done to overturn the results of that election with no fear of media criticism and legal repercussion on the horizon.</p>
