Mike Benz: The Four-Letter Agencies Are Killing The Ability To Operate An Independent Website

Foundation For Freedom's Mike Benz in an interview on 'The War Room' podcast said four-letter agencies are killing the ability to operate an independent website by selectively discriminating.

(snip)

BENZ: Yeah. We have a program known as media development or media sustainability at the State Department and at USAID.

USAID plays a major role in this. In fact, folks can look this up. We have an institution known as Internews, which is a, basically the classic definition of what the CIA got busted doing in the 1950s to the 1970s with Project Mockingbird.

But about a third of the National Endowment for Democracy budget, which is one of these classic CIA cutouts, goes to funding media organizations. It's very important when you're trying to pull off an operation to create media surround sound. So what you do is you do these pop-up newsrooms.

Actually, one of the big censorship operators in this space known as First Draft, one of its founders, Fergus Bell, actually created this concept of pop-up newsrooms that you'd essentially be able to create this artificial surround sound of State Department-funded media organizations so that civilians in a particular region think something must be true, because here's 42 different news organizations all saying the exact same thing. So they can't all be wrong, because it's sort of what the civilian thing is, not knowing the operation behind it, but not knowing that all 42 of those organizations are being funded effectively through State Department or CIA pass-throughs like USAID or the National Endowment for Democracy.

Evil. At the least it should be defunded.

But moreso, those involved should be looked at through a legal lens.

In reality, its three letters. One of Truman’s regrets.

Excellent truth. Folks really need to go and read this whole article. It names all the actors in the New World Order who are engineering society. U.S. State Department,the CIA, Atlantic counsel, NATO, Pentagon, WEF, IMF, World Bank, NGOs. Etc. It is real and WE are paying for it all...

” All four of the major ad agencies, again, including publicists, and you’ll see this all in the FFO report on our website, but all four of them receive billions of dollars, billions with a B every year in federal government contracts. One of them gets $4 billion a year, another one gets 1.8, 1.1. Now, a lot of this comes from the Pentagon, and this is basically the same strategy that they use to spread ESG.

These are the agencies that are now killing the ability to operate an independent website by selectively discriminating against anyone who disagrees with the U.S. State Department or who disagrees with the U.S. war machine or who disagrees with big pharma. Now, they can’t operate a website effectively, while the entire playing field of media is rigged in favor of the government’s preferred outlets. And it’s the taxpayers who are voting, who are basically having their money stolen to subsidize this.”

There is something not right bout this Benz guy I like his Tucker interviews but his past is concerning regaless of who wrote it or what their intentions were, his explanation as Frame Game and the supposed OP he was running to combat anti-semititsm with anti-semitism is total BS, no?

“”Hours after publication on Friday, Benz posted a lengthy statement confirming his connection to the Frame Game account. He said the account was a covert effort intended to somehow combat the anti-semitism it espoused. “The account in question was a project by Jews to get people who hated Jews to stop hating Jews,” he wrote. “Let me be clear: I am extremely proud of this.””
