Carlson's interesting interview with Mike Benz:
Is some sort of alliance being started?
Whoa, that interview with Benz is incredible. He names some of the names of organizations and individual movers and shakers, and makes a compelling case that the US is military dictatorship, but without a dictator. It's quite something to hear it all laid out in the way he does.
After Trump's election in 2016, there were tons of deep state apparatchiks who were expecting promotions under Hillary - and robbed of their rewards. In a calculated revenge against the American people, who were now clearly their greatest enemy, they pulled their CIA regime change machine back home, gave it to the DHS, and started up their mass censorship drive. Benz calls this Weapons of Mass Deletion. It includes the use of AI to mass scan and delete 'wrongthink'. It also entailed the creation of a global heat map of the public narrative, with the capability to observe and neutralize dangerous narratives. Specifically, anyone who Tweets a certain way, for instance someone who questions mail-in ballots, or who questions the jabs, then becomes a national security threat.
Protecting democracy is reduced to protecting democratic institutions - in other words protecting the Pentagon, Blackrock, election institutions, and the mainstream media. All of these are said to be critical infrastructure. The heat map registers dissent, and under current doctrine outlined by Benz, even questioning mainstream media narrative can lead to allegations of attack on critical infrastructure.
The talk also gets into
predictive censorship - the secret team identified by Benz had 7 months to prepare for the 2020 election, which they assumed Biden would win by mail-in ballots. They also assumed the vast majority of Americans wouldn't like that, and so this consortium of Pentagon/CIA muscled Big Tech companies into compliance. Who knows what else they'll be muscled into in the future.
Given the sheer scope of all of this censorship and information warfare directed at the US, and by extension the Anglosphere, it's no wonder Putin and the Russians aren't focused on winning any information war.
IIRC Benz also mentions that free speech has been historically important in that it makes gathering intel easier for shady operatives. So given that idea, and also the rise of this massive industry, it sure makes me wonder about Musk and Twitter. Tucker asked about Musk, and Benz gave his answer - that Musk has critical tech that the Pentagon needs (Space X and Tesla?), indicating that Musk has some leverage, or that there was some kind of deal struck by Musk and this secret team of the censorship complex. I'm not so convinced by that. It's likely we're all being tracked in some way or another, yes. I guess my question is about Musk and X, and whether or not (1) Twitter as the 'last bastion of free speech' is being used for this global dissent heat map and (2) whether or not Musk knows about it. I'm thinking he does.
