Michael Shellenberger: Give the “Death Penalty” to Organizations that Attacked the Free Speech Rights of American

Michael Shellenberger offers an excellent summary of the nefarious conduct of the censorship industrial complex and lays out ties to some of its government funding sources. The people on FB who most need to understand this won't be able to. Their minds have been taken over and they fear information that challenges this propaganda.

Mike Benz Explains USAID’s “Internews”

Stunning information from Mike Benz, being interviewed by Joe Rogan. It was a long detailed interview that is extremely important for everyone to read.  This is shocking, but we all knew that there was coordination in all of the "news outlets that have been marching in lockstep for the past five years to stamp out dissent, including stamping out true information that the government found to be inconvenient. I transcribed the portion of the interview provided in the following Tweet by KanekoaTheGreat. See below.

On Internews, I've been talking about it for a long time, but now the stage is set to really show the extent of this. What we do is we create these pretty little predicates, these pretty little lie words, weasel words, to hide from the American people, and especially from foreign governments what we're really doing in the area. So we have a catchphrase at State and in state craft. It's called "independent media." You can think of that as the State Department's word for a good guy. Okay, doesn't mean independent. They are funded by us. They are not independent from the government. They literally submit their work and approval plans for their work plans, for what their cover, for review and approval to the US State Department. They are dog walked the whole way. But we call them independent because they are said to be independent from foreign governments who influence.

So basically, they're independent from the Chinese government, or they're independent from the Russian government. So there's just like with the word USAID itself that we talked about last time, it's your mind playing tricks on you. You're seeing "aid," but it's Agency for International Development. They do the same thing with independent media, which is that, internally to them, it means it's a good guy for us, because it's independent from our enemies, but when Americans see that, they think, well, "independent" that means it's a free actor who's not being sponsored by any government. But under the banner of USAID's independent media and media sustainability branches, we fund half a billion dollars a year to this network of, again, over 4000 media outlets. It reaches 778 million people, 9000 journalists "trained." Remember last time we went over the training? The Atlantic Council with seven CIA directors and annual funding from USAID as well as the State Department and pentagon, how they were holding up "I call BS" placards and putting Trump tweets on screen to flag for disinformation? If you remember, we went over that. Well, this is what training journalists looks like. Not only do they have the direct spawn of media octopus under their direct sub-grantee group, but they then go out and train the journalists who work at all the other ones who aren't directly sponsored. So they reach everywhere. And you'll see here, for example, it makes reference to to Jean Bourgault, who is making a half million dollars a year there. . . This has been going viral on X. I've been talking about USAID's role in the censorship industry forever. And if you look up, if you just look up "Internews," and you just plug in the name, you know, if you just copy paste that, you know, "Jean Bourgault" phrase, you'll see this in the video section, because it's everywhere now. She made speeches for a long time.

60 Minutes Interview with John Stockwell. Who is John Stockwell? (this is from Grok):

John R. Stockwell (born 1937) is a former CIA officer who became a critic of United States government policies after serving in the agency for 13 years. He managed American involvement in the Angolan Civil War as Chief of the Angola Task Force during the CIA's 1975 covert operations. Born in Angleton, Texas, Stockwell spent part of his childhood in the Belgian Congo due to his father's engineering work. After studying at the University of Texas and serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he joined the CIA in 1964. His career included roles in three major conflicts: the Congo Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Angolan War of Independence.

Stockwell resigned from the CIA in 1976, citing concerns over the agency's methods and the impact of its operations in Third World countries. He wrote "In Search of Enemies," detailing his experiences and criticisms of CIA activities, which became a bestseller. His other notable works include "The Praetorian Guard" (1991) and "Red Sunset" (1982). He has also been a frequent public speaker on issues related to CIA operations.
