Perhaps you had heard that conspiracy theorist Nina Jankowicz, the former head of the Biden administrationās short-lived Disinformation Governance Board, was out of the disinformation business for good.
If so, Iām afraid you were a victim of Fake news.
Jankowicz, the Christopher-Steele-admiring, Hunter-Biden-laptop-questioning Mary Poppins impersonator resigned from the Department of Homeland Security in May after the DGB was put on hold following public and congressional questions about its potentially chilling effect on Free Speech.
If only DHS had also had a ācommittmentā to correct spelling.
At any rate, as she announced in September, Jankowicz is back in the disinformation biz, so to speak, this time having registered as a foreign agent for the U.K.-based Centre for Information Resilience.
According to publicly available paperwork filed in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Jankowicz will apparently be bringing in roughly $144,000 annually for her consulting work with CIR, which is partially funded by grants from the British government. At least, thatās what she made in her first couple of months with them.
And if you didnāt know how āThe Swampā works, now you know.
Jankowicz and CIR had announced on Twitter two months ago that she was joining the organization.
Her foreign agency registration was filed on Nov. 18.

CIR is āan independent, non-profit social enterprise dedicated to countering disinformation, exposing human rights abuses, and combating online behaviour harmful to women and minorities,ā according to its website.
āWorking in partnership with affected populations, CIR employs cutting-edge research techniques and technology to capture, assess and verify open source data,ā the site says. Iām pretty sure that means they surf the web and take screen shots; if it means something other than that, they certainly didnāt get into the details.
If you find it odd that an agency dedicated to combating disinformation would obscure its methodology behind rhetoric, well, youāre probably a conspiracy theorist yourself.
Next thing you know, youāll be trying to convince me that former President Donald Trump wasnāt hiding nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago, and Iām certain thatās true.
Bigfoot told me, and heās never lied to me yet.
