I suspect the power structure, if not this, it is something like what you see in this chart, in that most elected national officials are pawns. They have bosses above them. They don’t see We the People as their clients. They see us as threats to their ideology and their job security. You can often hear them saying these things out loud (e.g., at the WEF).</p> <p>Their #1 job is to censor and propagandize us by funding and controlling legacy news so that we believe that national elections still matter. A free and open internet, where we can exchange ideas with each other, is their #1 threat. If all of this sounds bizarre or conspiratorial to you, it’s because you have limited your information diet to legacy news outlets, which have been controlled for years, through various government-funded carrots and sticks administered by so-called NGOs that are funded with your tax dollars by the likes of USAID, CEPPS and INTERNEWS.…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/15/who-is-in-charge/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41698</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Mike Benz Explains USAID’s “Internews”</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/13/mike-benz-explains-usaids-internews/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mike-benz-explains-usaids-internews&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mike-benz-explains-usaids-internews</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/13/mike-benz-explains-usaids-internews/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 13 Feb 2025 06:00:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Censorship]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Debate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FBI-CIA Security State]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Free Speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Orwellian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Propaganda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Silence]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=41675</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Stunning information <a href="https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1889763678737584459" target="_blank">from Mike Benz, being interviewed by Joe Rogan.</a> It was a long detailed interview that is extremely important for everyone to read.

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.</p> <p>So basically, they’re independent from the Chinese government, or they’re independent </p></blockquote>…]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/13/mike-benz-explains-usaids-internews/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41675</post-id> </item> <item> <title>George Carlin Describes USAID</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/11/george-carlin-describes-usaid/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=george-carlin-describes-usaid&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=george-carlin-describes-usaid</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2025/02/11/george-carlin-describes-usaid/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Feb 2025 20:56:55 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corporatocracy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=41664</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>George Carlin unwittingly gave a master class about USAID:</p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-54c0IdxZWc?si=i2uVCz0yi_aaoW3x" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">But there’s a reason.
