I have increasingly turned to Mike Benz to help make sense of America’s obsessive and unnecessary warmongering. Joe Biden, his neocon cabinet and the DNC have already capitulated to the war state. Among the Democrats, there’s no need any more to discuss whether a war is truly necessary. No need to weight the pro’s and con’s. No need to concern ourselves with the possibility of nuclear war. No need to ask whether the American treasury should be allocated to (massive) domestic needs. We always need more war. Full stop. But why? What is the end game? How does this pro-war ideology benefit ordinary Americans? It doesn’t. As George Carlin stated so succinctly,
In this video, Mike Benz explains the big picture. I have created a transcript of Mike’s comments at Real America’s Voice. On a daily basis, I fear that his assessment is accurate.
Note 1: When Mike is using the term “the Blob,” (as set forth in the third paragraph) he is referring to the internationalist side of the U.S. government associated with big international businesses associated with the energy market associated with the military. .
Note 2: “The Atlantic Council has seven CIA directors on its board. A lot of people don’t even know that seven CIA directors are still alive, let alone all concentrated on the board of a single organization. That’s kind of the heavyweight in the censorship industry.” – Mike Benz
Natalie Winters:
On this as of course, Mike Benz who I’m so honored that last minute he was able to come on, Mike, I honestly just want to toss it to you your kind of thoughts on this whole FISA debacle. If you want to start with the press conference that we just saw, or even just the forthcoming Monday vote, what you think’s gonna happen?
Mike Benz:
I share an identical rage that I feel that emanating from you here for him to take to the press conference like that and and pivot to the border reciting all of the principles, “If we don’t have a border, we don’t have a country.” Well, you know, what if we don’t have a secret police in this country, a political police in this country, we don’t have a country? You know, this idea that “Oh, don’t worry about it. There’s checks and balances on it now.”
No, there’s not. It’s an empty check. It’s a blank check for the FBI to do whatever it wants and it’s bluster instead of balances. FISA is as a Senator Mike Lee said it best federal investigators stalking Americans, and there’s something very sick and twisted about what’s happening right now with the FISA fight. visa vie, the Republican Party. The Republican Party is in the middle of a civil war between the internationalist sect of the GOP, the Blob side of it, versus the nationalist wing of the GOP, the populist faction, and Pfizer will not be used on the blob side, the internationalist side of the GOP, that side of the GOP associated with big international businesses associated with the energy market associated with the military. In that empire managerial class of the GOP, FISA is not an issue to them. It won’t be used on them, but it will be used on their opposition in the GOP Civil War. Every single right-wing populist nationalist Republican is a target of FISA. FISA is this idea that you can get around the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, and use the Department of dirty tricks powers that our foreign policy establishment has to spy on foreigners, to spy on Americans if you simply use the word counter intelligence instead of intelligence. “We’re not doing intelligence spying on our own people. We’re doing counter intelligence spying on our people, because they might be being spied on by Russia.”
The foreign policy establishment, the Blob, has an in-process plan to seize Eurasia from Russia and anyone who has nationalist populist who who decides has as a high profile voice or any sort of political power, who wants to undermine Ukraine funding, who wants to roll back the ability to carry out war in Eurasia, they are immediately a counter-intelligence target of FISA. Any any crooked FBI agent can make the argument that if you if you do not support another 60 billion this year, 100 billion later this year, a trillion over the next five years to Ukraine, then you are helping Russia. Well, why are you helping Russia? Well, we better find out to decide if you have Russian contacts. So boom! Now they can tap your WiFi device. They can listen to your phone, while you’re you know, while you’re on the toilet, or while you’re you know, making love to your spouse. This is the most corrupt agency, the most lawless. We will know there’s checks and balances when we see them in jail. Peter Strzok was the head of counterintelligence for the FBI. And he Tap-danced in front of the world after saying we have an insurance plan to make sure that the duly elected president doesn’t become president. This FISA trick is a is a thumby war between the two sides of the GOP and using this foreign-facing dirty power to basically do that cheat thing with the pinky finger. That’s what’s going on here. And that’s why Mike Johnson is behind it.
[FISA] is the FBIs toolkit side of when you are losing in a fair fight, in terms of voters and the electorate. And so you need to resort to dirty tricks like censorship, or like prosecution, or like we’re like mass-domestic-spying on everything to find the crime. Because every minute of life you’re being monitored by the FBI. So just like with censorship, the only faction that was ever censored were populace. In this country, that’s MAGA Republicans, nationalist populist Republicans, not Dick Cheney Republicans. It’s all one side because the Blob side of the GOP is losing the civil war within the party, losing power to the populist faction, and they’re also losing in the general [election] with, with all the polls now showing trump up five to seven points in each of the seven battleground states. So as they continue to lose harder and harder in a fair fight, they they are resorting to the rigging, you know, basically loading up the gloves with with a weight to try to win it in a rigged way. And FISA is rigging it through essentially, the the torturous process of an American secret police.
I meean, say it with me now: Russiagate now Russiagate tomorrow, Russiagate forever. Russiagate will never die. And FISA is the ultimate weapon to be able to skewer anybody ensnared in a Russiagate allegation, because the Atlantis’ [Atlantic Council] foreign policy factions goal is to seize Eurasia from Russia, and using US taxpayer funds to fund that war. And if Americans decide, you know, we want to focus on ourselves, we want to build our own roads, we want to be able to have affordable housing, affordable health care–we want to be able to build our own beautiful kingdom.
What’s happening in Eurasia is basically for the benefit of a bunch of oil and gas companies and a bunch of military contractors and a bunch of Chamber of Commerce companies that don’t even have their manufacturing here anymore. And while that fragile quasi-military quasi-political campaign is being waged and we are in decade–I don’t know–seven of that now. As long as that is the plan of the Atlantis foreign policy Blob, Russiagate will always be here as the ghost hanging over everyone who wants to focus on our own domestic priorities because of the dirty trick power of being able to use the a FISA-type power, a foreign-facing dirty trick power, in order to knock out a domestic political opponent who is who is undermining support for that Atlantis’ foreign policy Blob.
And so they’re intricately interconnected the Internet censorship apparatus in this country was established through Russiagate. And then, once Russiagate basically, you know, temporarily died in the summer of 2019 with the Mueller probe having nothing to back it up–then they simply transition to a democracy predicate, which is the same foreign policy watchword used to overthrow governments. It’s the same dirty trick except FISA arms the FBI. So as soon as Russia gate 3.0 breaks out in full, FISA is going to be weaponized to try to purge the Republican Party of any sort of dissidents, to clear the way for a Nikki Haley or Dick Cheney type Republican to take the helm again.
Again, what is the end game of “the Blob?” How does this pro-war ideology benefit ordinary Americans? It doesn’t. As George Carlin stated so succinctly:
You know something, they’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they used to beat over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe, all day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks, the game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hard working people. White Collar blue collar doesn’t matter what color shirt you have a good honest, hard working people continue these people of modest means continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all, at all, at all. Nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dict it’s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth is called the American dream. Because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Many people are currently focused on Uri Berliner’s emergence as a critic of his employer, NPR. His article at The Free Press is titled, “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust: Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.” It’s well worth reading for those of you who think you get fair and balanced news from NPR. I write this as a person who, in former years, enjoyed listening to NPR and appreciated that it was at least trying to give a fair report of the news.
Gosh, if the preachy censorship-loving CEO of NPR didn’t have any background in journalism, what DID she excel at? Oh! She worked for The Atlantic Council, where THREE former CIA serve as advisors. If you want to know what else is driving NPR, look no further than the her bio:
Once again, thanks to Mike Benz for the tip:
