Secretary Mayorkas would seem to have another scandal on his hands.
Has the Department of Homeland Security been involved in a deep-state coverup?
Mike Benz, the Foundation for Freedom Online’s executive director, believes that is the case.
Guilty!
There is an agency that falls under the purview of the DHS that is supposed to be monitoring “foreign influence operations and disinformation … targeting election infrastructure.”
However, before all the stink was being raised about the Biden administration turning into Big Brother, the agency had a different mission.
The website stated that it was monitoring “foreign and domestic threat actors [using] MDM campaigns to cause chaos, confusion, and division.”
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, stated that the wording change was just part of a regular website update.
Benz stated, “CISA pulled a fast one on the American public by setting up a social media censorship division in the name of fighting foreign influence, but then quickly seizing long-arm jurisdiction over domestic opinions online as well.
“CISA officials knew they lacked the legal authorization to do what they did. Now, CISA appears to be burying the evidence of its domestic censorship activities, right as oversight of potential malfeasance is heating up.”
Michael Chamberlain, director of Protect the Public’s Trust, added, “At the same time DHS was assuring the American public that all of their disinformation activities were legitimate and above-board, it appears they were also secretly scrubbing their website of mentions of the actions people were objecting to.
“Are they truly altering their behavior or just trying to hide information they don’t want us to know about?
“Either way, it appears to be a tacit admission that what they were doing could have been infringing on the rights of American citizens, which goes a long way toward explaining the precipitous decline of trust in the federal government.”
I honestly cannot wait to see what history says about this administration.
Sadly, most of us will probably be long gone before that truth comes out.
