MIKE BENZ AND MARCO RUBIO ON THE CENSORSHIP BLOB

Mike Benz, the Executive Director of the free speech watchdog, Foundation for Freedom Online (website) is a fixture in this blog and well known for his analysis of what he calls 'the blob', the relationship between the US Defense Dept, the Dept. of State, NATO, various other agencies -- governmental and non governmental -- and the media. The root of the problem is that what used to be a conglomerate working for freedom in the Cold War, turned on its heels in 2016 with the event of Trump's first administration, and started to work towards a sabotage and censorship campaign. Today Benz is talking to the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, about his conclusions in the lions' den, the Dept. of State. 

April 29, 2025 US Dept. of State: Secretary Rubio's live conversation with Mike Benz on dismantling the censorship bureaucracy. (Stream starts at 15:57 mark.)

The targets were global adversaries, often national populist movements abroad and domestically. The concept of democracy came to mean 'post WW2 liberal democrat institutions'. Public criticism in media or on social media of a globalist institution, came to mean, 'an attack on democracy'. 

Under the Biden regime, Brussels was pressed to pass a draconian censorship law -- The Digital Services Act -- that went into effect and is currently biting US interests in the behind (link).

Benz states in an X message:

"This is super important. The White House, the State Dept, & every US Embassy in each EU country needs a joint strategic plan in place, now, to stop the EU Digital Censorship Act as its "disinformation code" goes mandatory on July 1, 2025. That EU law may *kill* US social media." (link)

We can continue with Benz's findings with one of his online seminars, this time about Hillary Clinton's 'smart' policies in which the Defense Dept, the Dept. of State and USAID combined to effectively press and infiltrate foreign Governments to do the bidding of US interests.

He shows how various lobbying groups and NGOs, particularly Soros' Open Society and the Gates Foundation, are in effect paying themselves large sums of money, ultimately paid for by the American tax payer. It is in effect, a racket. 

My analysis of @DataRepublican's incredible thread on the Global Leadership Coalition, the 30 year old supergroup made up of the biggest USAID-funded NGOs (and the spooks and corporations behind them) who lobby Congress to give themselves more money. https://t.co/rvt4TtIkkR pic.twitter.com/E9S2EfTliZ
