The speaker testified about the censorship industrial complex, revealing that it is worse than previously thought. Internal files from the Cyber Threat Intelligence League showed military contractors working to censor and use psychological operations against Americans. While some argue that social media platforms have the right to censor content, the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech. Evidence suggests that the government encouraged private entities to engage in censorship. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) played a central role, along with other government agencies. CISA created the Election Integrity Partnership, which urged platforms to censor posts, resulting in a 75% response rate. CISA and the White House also demanded censorship of COVID-related content. The speaker calls for defunding and dismantling these organizations, or implementing significant oversight to prevent future censorship. They also suggest making liability protections contingent on transparent moderation and public reporting of censorship requests.

Recently, internal files from the Cyber Threat Intelligence League were released, revealing that US and UK military contractors were involved in censoring and using psychological operations and disinformation tactics against the American people. While some argue that social media platforms have the right to remove content that violates their terms of service, it is important to note that the government cannot encourage or promote actions that infringe upon freedom of speech. The whistleblower behind these files claims that the leader of the CTIL was present at the Obama White House in 2017, receiving instructions to counter disinformation and prevent a repeat of the events in 2016.

The Global Engagement Center, established by Rick Stengel, aimed to synchronize government narratives with mainstream media. Stengel, who previously argued against the First Amendment, initiated this center to combat perceived threats like ISIS by collaborating with tech platforms to censor content. Following Trump's election, State Department officials pushed for censorship laws in Europe, leading to automated censorship mechanisms in the U.S. The Atlantic Council, with ties to the CIA and government funding, played a key role in promoting these laws. They developed AI tools to monitor and censor online speech, particularly around controversial topics like COVID-19 and the 2020 election, effectively suppressing dissenting narratives.

Stanford University, University of Washington, Graphica, and the Atlantic Council were used as a front by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to manipulate social media during the 2020 election. The goal was to censor posts containing misinformation about mail-in ballots and other election-related topics. DHS lacked the legal authority to directly censor, so they set up the Election Infrastructure Partnership (EIP) to fill the gaps. These outside organizations received federal funding and worked closely with DHS to ban or throttle millions of posts and accounts. The entire operation was orchestrated to rig the election. The question now is whether there will be political accountability for these actions.

Former military contractors, including those currently employed, along with individuals from the navy, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, were involved in censorship and the use of psychological operations and disinformation tactics against the American people. These tactics, developed by the US military and allies, were turned against the American people after Trump's election in 2016. Social media companies, with potential government support, engaged in mass censorship. The Hunter Biden laptop in October 2020 played a significant role in this story. FBI personnel were working at Twitter when it censored the New York Post story about the laptop, creating the perception of illegitimacy. The laptop was later confirmed to be real, debunking the conspiracy theory of Russian manipulation. US intelligence officials spread disinformation about the laptop, leading many to be deceived.

In 2016, the US saw a shift towards mass censorship following events like the Ukraine coup. NATO and the Pentagon adopted a "from tanks to tweets" approach, focusing on controlling information online. This led to the development of AI censorship tools and the establishment of connections between government agencies and tech platforms. The narrative of Russian influence was used to justify censorship efforts, which intensified after Trump's election. However, the collapse of Russiagate in 2019 left the censorship infrastructure without a clear justification.

The defining characteristic of the United States is freedom of speech, guaranteed by the First Amendment. However, this fundamental right is rapidly eroding due to censorship disguised as combating disinformation and malinformation. This censorship, directed by the US government, is not limited to the private sector. Mike Benz, an expert on this issue, explains how the foreign policy establishment and defense contractors manipulate this. Internet freedom, initially used for supporting dissident groups globally, has become a tool for censorship since 2014. NATO now views controlling media as crucial for political influence, targeting even domestic groups. This shift accelerated after the 2016 election, with Russiagate providing cover for domestic censorship. The 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic saw massive censorship, with government agencies and private entities working together to suppress dissenting voices. This system uses AI-powered tools to identify and remove content deemed harmful to "democratic institutions," effectively creating military rule disguised as democracy. The fight to preserve free speech is now centered on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), which are facing immense pressure from both governmental and international entities.

On January 7, 2017, the head of the Department of Homeland Security declared the electoral infrastructure of the United States as critical infrastructure, giving the federal government control over it. This move faced resistance from local electoral officials. Later, under the pretext of foreign disinformation, a small group of political officials gained unilateral power over the entire US political system. They seized control of the electoral system and social media platforms, using intelligence agencies to monitor and censor content. With the arrival of COVID, these measures were applied to combat what was called the "infodemic" of COVID disinformation. Government-led efforts to censor COVID disinformation were supported by companies like Facebook, who claimed to have censored millions of posts related to COVID disinformation.

This hearing examines the Department of Homeland Security's role in censoring American voices through supposedly independent organizations. While protecting election infrastructure from foreign disinformation was the initial goal, it expanded to include countering domestic misinformation. The government created NGOs, like the Election Integrity Project, to do what it couldn't do directly. CISA acted as a switchboard to flag and notify social media platforms of misinformation, resulting in millions of tweets categorized as such. The same tools were used to censor COVID-19 narratives, some of which were later proven true. Concerns arise about DHS overreaching its jurisdiction and expanding censorship to various topics. The hearing questions the failure of leadership within DHS and the potential threat to civil liberties.

Cole notes that he purchased six galvanized pipes of this size on June 1, June 8, and November 16, and asks for receipts. The discussion shifts to what questions a point person in 2021 would face and to a theory of the case, with speculation about how individuals could be drawn into a plan to influence events, including the possibility of a “pipe bomb” plot and manipulation of associates. Speaker 1 explains that, as a federal investigator, one would use a speculative investigative lens to broaden the search to cover various permutations of the case, including the idea that there was a so-called Red Mirage Blue Shift scenario surrounding the 2020 election. They reference CNN’s 2020 reporting on deciphering red mirage and blue shift uncertainty, including pre censorship by DHS/CISA in June 2020 to suppress any social media criticism of mass mail-in ballots, so as to prevent questions about legitimacy of an upcoming Biden victory. The discussion asserts that the goal was to preempt perceptions of illegitimacy and manage the narrative around the election results. The conversation then turns to Rosa Brooks, a high-ranking Obama administration official who headed the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) and wrote about pathways to remove Trump from power. Speaker 1 cites Brooks’ article “Three ways to stop President Trump before the 2020 election” and notes an assertion, reportedly in a Diet of Lisa-like coverage, that she later discussed a fourth, insurrectionary possibility: a military coup. They claim TIP was a war game conducted in June 2020 and then in November 2020, involving senior military, intelligence, diplomatic, and political operatives, with participants from both parties including Michael Steele (former RNC head), Donna Brazile (former DNC head), John Podesta (Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager), Bill Kristol, and others. The summary asserts that TIP’s appendix, “Will Trumpism survive a Trump loss?” warned that Trumpism could persist even after a loss, necessitating a robust strategy to eliminate Trump supporters and networks that enabled Trump’s rise. It is claimed the document discusses how to mobilize mass street protests, especially via Black Lives Matter and allied groups, to pressure a Biden administration to act against Trump, including funding and resource provisioning of protest movements to ensure their alignment with Democratic objectives. The dialogue alleges that, in June 2020, TIP proposed measures to de- legitimize Trump, including not letting Trump use the National Guard or invoke the Insurrection Act to quell protests. It is asserted that the plan contemplated mass demonstrations, the use of “street protests” as decisive leverage, and the establishment of communications infrastructure to support mass mobilization for street action if Trump won, or to counter him if he did not. The participants allegedly favored aligning with groups like Soros-funded Indivisible and Hold the Line, and urged resourcing new racial justice leaders and major philanthropic/foundation channels to fund these movements, including a claimed $50 billion in funding to Black Lives Matter. The transcript claims that TIP’s War Game included explicit scenarios about alternate electors, secession moves, and the potential for mass prosecutions of Trump and his associates, as well as strategic recommendations on how to proceed if Trump refused to concede. It is further asserted that a June 2020 war game considered provoking an “January 6” breakdown in Congress as a central move to prevent a contested inauguration, with participants pondering agent provocateurs and avenues to postpone certification. Throughout, the speakers connect the pipe-bomb purchases in June 2020 to the TIP war games and the broader plan to undermine Trump through street mobilization, legal maneuvers, and potential mass arrests of Trump supporters and networks, while noting the January 6 events as a focal point of these discussions.

Joe Rogan Experience #2237 - Mike Benz
Guests: Mike Benz
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Joe Rogan hosts Mike Benz, who discusses his work on internet censorship and the evolution of government involvement in controlling online narratives. Benz, a former corporate lawyer and Trump White House speechwriter, became focused on censorship after the 2016 election, which he believes marked a turning point in how the government and private sectors collaborate to suppress free speech. Benz traces the origins of modern internet censorship to 2014, during the Ukraine crisis, where the U.S. government began to actively promote censorship as a means of controlling narratives. He explains that the U.S. has a long history of promoting free speech internationally, but this shifted after the 2014 coup in Ukraine, which led to a new doctrine of hybrid warfare that included controlling media narratives. This doctrine was formalized by NATO in 2016, coinciding with the rise of populism and the election of Donald Trump, which prompted a redirection of censorship efforts back to the U.S. The discussion highlights the establishment of the Disinformation Governance Board and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which Benz argues were already functioning as censorship bodies before being publicly acknowledged. He emphasizes that the government has used vague definitions of misinformation to justify censorship, often conflating dissenting opinions with threats to democracy. Benz also discusses the role of various organizations, including the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the Global Engagement Center, in promoting censorship under the guise of protecting democracy. He points out that these entities have been instrumental in shaping narratives and influencing elections globally, particularly in countries with rising populist movements. The conversation touches on the implications of censorship during the COVID-19 pandemic, where narratives around vaccines and origins of the virus were heavily monitored and suppressed. Benz argues that this period served as a proof of concept for large-scale censorship, with government and private sector entities working together to control the narrative. Benz highlights the financial incentives behind this censorship apparatus, noting that many individuals involved in government positions transition to lucrative roles in private sectors, creating a cycle of influence and profit. He cites examples of former officials who have moved to major corporations, leveraging their connections and knowledge gained while in government. The discussion concludes with Benz expressing hope for reform and transparency within these institutions, emphasizing the need for public awareness and accountability. He believes that the current political climate presents an opportunity for change, particularly with the rise of alternative platforms and growing public scrutiny of censorship practices.

Guests: Mike Benz

Tucker Carlson emphasizes that freedom of speech is the defining characteristic of the United States, rooted in the First Amendment. He warns that this foundational right is rapidly eroding due to modern censorship, which is often justified as a fight against disinformation, regardless of the truth of the statements being censored. Carlson introduces Mike Benz, an expert on censorship, who explains how the U.S. government and defense contractors have shifted from promoting internet freedom to enforcing censorship, particularly in the context of foreign policy and military interests. Benz details how the internet was initially used to support dissidents globally, but after events like the 2014 Crimea annexation, NATO began to view media control as essential to maintaining power. This led to the establishment of a censorship industry aimed at suppressing dissenting voices, particularly those associated with right-wing populism in Europe and the U.S. Benz highlights the role of organizations like the Atlantic Council in coordinating censorship efforts, particularly during the 2020 election, where they preemptively targeted narratives around mail-in ballots. He describes the creation of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which redefined misinformation as a cyber attack, allowing for widespread censorship of dissenting opinions. Benz argues that this represents a fundamental inversion of democracy, where the will of the people is subverted in favor of protecting established institutions. He concludes by discussing the ongoing threats to free speech, particularly in the context of upcoming elections and international pressures on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
