Top 20 Deep State Revelations from Mike Benz

1. Free Speech? Only for the “Rules-Based Order”
   Benz reveals that post-1948, the U.S. government embraced “free speech” globally as a soft power tool to topple regimes—until it backfired with populism. Now, free speech is a threat to democracy, apparently. How quaint that the First Amendment, once a shield for dissent, is now a liability to the blob’s global chess game.
2. The First Amendment: A Mistake, Says Obama’s Propagandist
   Rick Stengel, Obama’s “propagandist-in-chief,” openly argued that the First Amendment was a mistake after Trump’s 2016 win. How delightful that a former State Department official thinks the Constitution needs guardrails to protect democracy from, you know, the voters.
3. 2014 Ukraine Coup: The Censorship Beta Test
   The 2014 Ukraine coup wasn’t just about geopolitics; it was a dry run for domestic censorship. Benz explains how the tools used to control narratives abroad were turned inward. Who knew the First Amendment could be collateral damage in a proxy war?
4. Democracy Redefined: Elections Are Optional
   Benz notes that the U.S. supports “democracy” in Ukraine, despite Zelensky canceling elections. Apparently, democracy now means institutional consensus, not pesky things like voting. The Framers must be thrilled their experiment now excludes the will of the people.
5. The Blob’s “Whole of Society” Censorship Dream
   The phrase “whole of society” is the blob’s get-out-of-jail-free card for mass censorship. Benz highlights how it ropes in government, tech, and NGOs to silence dissent. Americans’ free speech rights are being strangled by a mob of unelected and hidden bureaucrats.
6. CISA: The Real Ministry of Truth
   The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) isn’t just about cyber threats—it’s the nerve center of domestic censorship. Benz reveals it’s the de facto Ministry of Truth. Reassuring that a DHS agency is policing speech under the guise of “security.”
7. Hate Speech as a Proxy for Populism
   Benz explains that “hate speech” became a catch-all to censor populism, both here and in NATO countries. Oppose open borders? Hate speech! The First Amendment’s protection of controversial ideas apparently doesn’t apply to wrongthink.
8. Pentagon PsyOps to Protect Billionaires’ Reputations
   The Pentagon funded Graphika to map “conspiracy theories” that threaten Bill Gates and George Soros. Benz notes taxpayers paid for PsyOps to shield billionaires from criticism. How noble that our tax dollars defend the elite from First Amendment-protected scrutiny. And no one mention Gates and Epstein!
9. COVID-19: Censorship’s Proof of Concept
   Rogan and Benz agree that COVID-19 was a trial run for full-scale censorship. The narrative of “vaccine deniers” justified silencing dissent. A public health crisis doubled as a Bill of Rights stress test—and we failed.
10. USAID: The CIA’s Censorship Slush Fund
    Benz exposes USAID as a covert CIA front, funding global censorship under the guise of “democracy.” So an aid agency uses taxpayer money to throttle free speech abroad, all while bypassing congressional oversight.
11. NED: Funding Foreign Censorship of U.S. Tech
    The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA cutout, works with foreign governments to pass laws targeting U.S. tech firms. Benz notes this is the opposite of the State Department’s mission. Really patriotic that we fund attacks on our own companies’ First Amendment rights.
12. The Blob’s Fear of Populism Over Free Speech
    Benz reveals that 2016’s populist wave (Trump, Brexit) panicked the blob, leading to censorship to stop “demagoguery.” The First Amendment, meant to protect political speech, is now the enemy of “democratic institutions”—aka, the deep state.
13. HateLab: AI Censorship for Populism
    The Justice Department funded HateLab’s AI “scan and ban” dashboard to target populism under the guise of hate speech. Benz notes this conflates dissent with hate. How progressive that AI now decides what speech violates the Bill of Rights.
14. Elon’s Twitter Buy: A Fork in the Censorship Road
    Benz and Rogan highlight Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase as a turning point, disrupting the censorship machine. Seems ironic that a billionaire’s whim might save the First Amendment from the blob’s chokehold.
15. The Blob’s Institutional Guardrails Against Voters
    Benz explains that “democratic institutions” (CIA, State Department assets) are now guardrails against voters choosing the “wrong” leader. How democratic that unelected bureaucrats protect voters from themselves.
16. Soft Power Turned Inward: The 2016 Panic
    The tools of soft power—once used to promote free speech abroad—were weaponized domestically after 2016. Benz notes this shift targeted American populists. What should be the First Amendment’s global champion now crushes it at home.
17. Disinformation Governance Board: A Red Herring
    Benz clarifies that the Disinformation Governance Board was a distraction; the real censorship machine (CISA, GEC) was already in place. How clever that the blob hides its First Amendment violations behind bureaucratic smoke and mirrors.
18. Trump’s Swamp-Draining Nightmare
    Benz warns that Trump faces headwinds dismantling this censorship octopus, thanks to entrenched agencies like USAID and NED. How comforting that the deep state’s First Amendment abuses are so deeply rooted they resist elected oversight.
19. The Blob’s Global Censorship Empire
    Benz details how the U.S. funds global censorship through university centers, media outlets, and NGOs. Our tax dollars export First Amendment violations to silence dissent worldwide.
20. Constitutional Republic vs. Mob Rule
    Benz contrasts our constitutional republic—where minority rights are protected—with the blob’s “institutional democracy,” where the mob silences dissent. How fitting that the Framers’ vision of free speech is now sacrificed to the blob’s Orwellian redefinition of democracy.

For Democrats and the Deep State — but I repeat myself — the First Amendment is but one obstacle on their path to subjugation and control.
