Nuts and Bolts of Federal Censorship

The enormity of the forces brought against free speech cannot be understood simply by looking at any individual organization, like Facebook, because it’s a web of deceit incorporated by tax dollars to inhibit free speech on a global scale, but primarily against the Western nations who largely have free speech, rather than against truly authoritarian societies that don’t need it, they do that as a matter of practice.

I recently watched this Joe Rogan interview of Mike Benz largely to delve into the encyclopedic knowledge of Benz, who has an understanding of the interlocking efforts of the CIA and numerous other government agencies to bring the color revolutions to America. It’s long, but well worth the time to establish a baseline of knowledge on how deep and how extensive the effort to control the people’s voices goes. Couched in national security, it’s aim is to stifle any other point of view than the proffered truths they espouse.

I’ve long understood this, without knowing the nuts and bolts of it, but have commented numerous times concerning the effort. Part of the purpose of this Substack is to render their attempts at censorship ineffectual. Most of the censorship is in play on social media platforms, but it doesn’t reach into sites such as this. I’m not saying that it can’t, but Substack would then be responsible for censoring it and open to lawsuit should they try. Especially since this site is subscription based, it’s hard for them to censor something that individuals have expressly requested to read. Granted, it may not have the immediate reach that social media can provide, but it’s less important to me that a lot of people read it than it is that I have the ability to publish it.

I’ve had social media presences on X, Gab and Gettr for a long time (I was permanently banned on Facebook in 2017), but I’m equally limited on those sites as well. I have never broken the 2k friends or followers on any of them and don’t think I am capable of it due to their own internal restrictions. Largely, I won’t play the game, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to play. I’m not verified on any of them and don’t want to be. They’re simply tools to use for different purposes and they satisfy some of my more snarky comments, but I have no interest in all of the self-promotion, clickbait mentality. As a writer, there’s a certain degree of self-promotion I already have to do, but it goes down hard and I have to buck myself up to do it; to recite to myself that the project that may have value to other people requires some sacrifice of my time and effort.

It’s important to understand, though, the lengths to which they have gone to silence all of the Covid 19 skepticism and anti-vaxx narrative, because they have used it to quash anything that hints at actual democratic responses to government action. The part where Benz explains that the “democracy” so often mouthed by politicians, which most of us already know is a coopted definition at best, really means, to them, the institutions of government, media and international organizations. The consortium of every institution that they have been able to coopt to their communist mindset. It’s that very consortium they use against the people with funding from tax dollars.

The larger point, however, is they have used this domestically and internationally to prevent a true democracy from exerting the power of the individual. This is why Trump is an important figure in this battle, because it was his election in 2016 that spurred all of this into overdrive. The people, in 2024, finally figured out how to do an end-around on their censorship, because it became a hinderance to a greater segment of society searching for the truth, which is what democracies naturally do. That’s why free speech is so important, even when it allows for despicable views to be publicized. The people, themselves, are natural censors based on their personal experiences. If one were to try and tell someone that what they know to be true, isn’t, there’s a natural backlash and perhaps a confrontation and a subsequent distancing from someone promoting a lie.

Critics of Donald Trump and what he seeks to accomplish and whatever he might or might not accomplish should understand the enormity of what he faces on a daily basis. This entire apparatus (what they call democracy) was unleashed on him in 2016, even before he put his on the Bible. Kash Patel is important, because he, better than almost anyone else, understands the same sort of nuts and bolts of the weaponization of the DOJ.

Most of those who read this already know that I’m not a particular fan of Donald Trump, but I still recognize his revolutionary role in obtaining my goal of universal freedom. Trump is a transformative character, the same as Farage in the UK, as Milei in Argentina, Bolsanaro in Brazil and the AfD in Germany and while they find themselves restrained from their visions by the censorship apparatus empowered and spread by the funds available through tax dollars, the whole transformation of the West is being held hostage by their efforts.

I’ve always been on the side of Trump because of the few things I need someone like him to do. For me, that’s to wreck both the censorship industry and the DOJ. The first can be done with cutting spending for the NGOs and disbanding a few offices in the State Department and the DOD. So far, since he has been personally battered by both of these things, I hope he’ll be able to make headway on those few, but massive, fronts. Unlike other people who expect him to do much more, solve all of the problems, I don’t. This is a journey of a thousand miles and if he can take us a few steps along that path, I don’t expect much more from him. For over a century, we’ve been walking in the opposite direction. It’s ultimately our responsibility to finish it. We have a lot of work to do just in the state of Texas, where the Republican party is as RINO’d as the U.S. Congress. I’m working on that, too.

Censorship is a big deal.
Using social media to riot and have civil wars is a big deal.
America as a Democracy (Republic) is just an illusion.
Obama never would have been elected if people had the knowledge we had here on FreeRepublic.
We knew that Obama sued CitiBank on behalf of ACORN.
The financial meltdown we had in 2008 was largely a result of Obama’s no-doc loans.
We knew that Obama was trying to tax energy in the Chicago Climate Exchange.
We knew his communist ties and questionable citizenship.

FreeRepublic has never banned me.
GAB deleted many of my posts.
X, even today, had me play one of their silly puzzle games to prove I’m not a robot.
Then they limited my reach.
I rarely visit Facebook because they have suspended me so many times.
But I did find Mike Benz on Facebook today.

Facebook And the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit
By Nick O’Neill November 18, 2008.

Jared Cohen, a member of the U.S. Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, posted an article on Facebook’s blog.
http://www.adweek.com/digital/facebook-and-the-alliance-of-youth-movements-summit/

O’Neill continues:
Inspired by this change, “Facebook, Access 360 Media, Columbia Law School, Google, Howcast, MTV, YouTube, and the U.S. Department of State are bringing leaders of 17 pioneering organizations from 15 countries together with technology experts next month for the first-ever conclave to empower youth against violence and oppression through the use of the latest online tools. ” The event is called the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit.

Cohen said:
“We are seeing movements across the world use a diverse set of technologies. The simplest is Television, where we are seeing groups that have the means put their videos and images on screen in the form of commercials. But we are seeing a lot of activities using mobile phones and the Internet.”

“With mobile phones, there is a tactic called “smart mobbing,” where mobile phones are used to assemble young people around a cause. On the Internet, we are seeing online social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and Orkut serve as important forums for young people to assemble together, build a cause, a mission, and organize events.”

Jared Cohen and Al-Jazeera
There is an email from Hillary Clinton to Monica Hanley on 8/3/2012 with the subject Syria.
In that email Jared Cohen talks of his new tool to keep track of Syrian government defections. He mentions that he will work with Al-Jazeera, the largest Mid East news source headquartered in Qatar.

Syria 2019 Human Rights Report
As of September there were more than 5.6 million Syrian refugees registered with UNHCR in neighboring countries and 6.2 million IDPs. The regime frequently blocked access for humanitarian assistance and removed items such as medical supplies from convoys headed to civilian areas, particularly areas held by opposition groups.

Media sources and human rights groups varied in their estimates of how many persons have been killed since the beginning of the conflict in 2011. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented more than 570,000 conflict-related deaths from 2011 until March, while the SNHR estimated more than 220,000 civilians were killed during the same time. This large discrepancy was due to the large number of missing and disappeared Syrians, whose fates remained unknown. The SNHR attributed 89 percent of civilian deaths to regime forces and Iranian Sponsored militias

Mike Benz was interviewed by Russell Brand.
https://rumble.com/v4x6w5b-hes-exposing-soros-and-clinton-like-never-before.html
5/25/2024

Benz says that when the Soviet Union fell apart in the early 80s, the CIA partnered with George
Soros due to his Open Society Foundations and universities and access to young people.
Soros radicalized the young people to riot and overthrow Germany, Poland and Hungary.
Soros used his CIA connections to buy companies in countries he knew were going to fall.
Soros privatized Naftogaz.
Hunter Biden was hired by Burisma.

Benz says Soros was close friends with John McCain..

This is voice typed from the video:
John McCain was also the founder and the president for 25 years of the Hunter Biden Democratic Institute when the NYPD was created, when the CIA created the National Endowment for Democracy. It simultaneously created two different spindles, 2 branches of the NED subsidiaries that are wholly funded and controlled by the NDI for Democrat stakeholders called the NDI, which Hunter Biden sits on the board of the Madeleine Albright former Secretary of State runs. It also created the RNC, the Republican branch. You can think of this like the CIA. If the Democrat Party in the CIA wing of the Republican Party, the Republican branch of the NED is called the IRI, the International Republican Institute, who founded and ran that for 25 years? It was John McCain.

At NED’s inception 40 years ago, fewer than 60 countries were considered free. NED—along with its four core institutes, the Center for International Private Enterprise, the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, and the Solidarity Center—responded to the growing needs of democracy movements throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific region, and Africa.
