Mike Benz on how NGOs run the world on behalf of a small number of very dangerous people. Here’s more from Tucker Carlson.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has closed CFIM, the chief censorship office formerly used by the State Department to silence dissident Americans.
CFIM stands for Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Office. It was originally known as the Global Engagement Center. The office spent more than $50 million annually, and often targeted Americans for censorship — not just overseas outlets.
Rubio discusses the changes with Mike Benz, the former State Department official who now heads the Foundation for Freedom Online.
The CIA helped build Signal. Now, it’s the favored communications app of terrorists and pedophiles. Surprise!
Of course, Signal made news after a conversation between Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the president’s inner circle, including J.D. Vance, was revealed. They had been discussing plans to bomb in Yemen.
All made public, of course, going to an Atlantic reporter. How did this happen? Here’s more from Clayton Morris on Redacted News.
Was both the FBI and CIA aware of would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh before the creep fired in September of 2024 on the American presidential candidate at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida? If both agencies were aware, why wasn’t Routh rounded up before he could attack at the golf course? Were these federal intelligence agencies not only delinquent, but actually in league with Routh?
We’re seeing some dirty and shocking patterns being exposed that raise the question: Why didn’t these agencies curb Routh? How was he allowed to get onto the golf course? Here’s more from The Gateway Pundit.
Mike Benz, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, says there’s a “95 percent chance” the United States government was working with the would-be Trump killer Ryan Routh. Benz offered his take in an interview with Matt Gaetz on One America News Network.
Mike Benz, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, continues to reveal the shards to be gleaned from the collapse of the CIA-driven U.S. Agency for International Development or USAID. This is an agency that spent millions upon millions of dollars distorting and disrupting governments and societies around the globe, and in recent years, has done just as much internally to pervert our democracy in the United States.
Benz appears as a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience and the program is a monster — running nearly three and a half hours! If you have been following Benz, you know the kinds of things he talks about, but you probably haven’t heard all of the particulars yet. This rabbit hole runs deep — so deep, it will take decades to fully comprehend and correct.
Let’s hope Benz succeeds and fulfills the mission of his foundation, serving as a “free speech watchdog organization dedicated to restoring the promise of a free and open Internet.” Our kudos to Rogan. He doesn’t interrupt too much here, but simply provides the platform and audience for the truth to be divulged.
Mike Benz, founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, sits down with Tucker Carlson to explain how USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, became a deep web — more like a hornet’s nest — pushing every facet of the leftwing agenda. Not only did this agency back transgenderism, but also online censorship, Black Lives Matter riots, unfettered immigration, George Soros’ leftist prosecutors and a global narcotics ring.
Obviously, the U.S. Constitution stands in way of a federal agency being so blatantly biased and political. So USAID adopted an ingenious workaround. The agency didn’t do the dirty work itself, but gave grants to thousands upon thousands of NGOs, or Non-Governmental Organizations, to take actions that USAID couldn’t legally do itself.
These workaround arrangements skirted the law, while grossly violating our nation’s principles and heritage. Here, in a two-hour conversation with Carlson, Benz relays some of the most egregious examples of what happened, drawing from his background as a State Department official.
One of the most dispiriting examples he cites: How the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) became the NGO used to push widespread online censorship. The ADL was founded to combat anti-Semitism, a worthy cause. But now this organization has morphed into something truly ugly and insidious — tearing down our Bill of Rights. Not acceptable in any shape or form!
Another NGO that actively censored individuals and news outlets: the Internews Network. Headed by Jeanne Bourgault, who was paid $500,000 annually, the Internews Network received $472.6 million from USAID to train foreign journalists and to police what it called “disinformation” at home.
What’s disinformation? That’s the codeword used by leftists to describe anything that’s conservative or moderate, anything that the leftists want to censor. In short, our tax money was being used to squelch our own freedom. Internews pushed Covid-19 propaganda, as well as pro-Ukraine and the usual climate change nonsense.
How did Bourgault score such a lucrative position? She paved the way for her own lucrative gig by working six years at USAID, before joining Internews Network in 2001. She is among the individuals profiled on the World Economic Forum (WEF) website. There, she advocates open borders and has worked cooperatively with George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
Here she is at a World Economic Forum, preaching her “disinformation” rap. What a globalist shill!
The U.S. Agency for International Development appears to have given $8.2 million to Politico, the digital website with an American political focus, based in Arlington County, Virginia. It’s unclear why a domestic news site received grants from an agency charged with international affairs.
But thanks to Anthony Brian Logan, we now know that some 236 separate payments were made to Politico. The vast majority of that funding came during the Joe Biden administration, with the bulk of it happening in 2024 as the presidential election campaign was under way.
Was this an attempt by Joe Biden to buy an election, using money collected from taxpayers to benefit his own leftist party? Much stricter laws are needed to govern against such blatant corruption. It doesn’t matter if it was $8,000, $8 million or $80 million. It stinks to high heaven, and must be rooted out and stopped forever.
Fortunately, it appears the Donald Trump administration plans to discontinue the practice. Meanwhile, the fake news purveyors of Politico will need to find a new scam to float their boat. Here’s more from ABL — Anthony Brian Logan’s shorthand for his video channel.
Also receiving more than $40 million from USAID was the Wuhan Virology Lab where the strands of Covid-19 were developed and leaked — to generate the worldwide pandemic. This money was transferred in a roundabout way to Wuhan through an outfit called EcoHealth.
Thus, it’s becoming clear now, Anthony Fauci openly lied to Congress about his involvement in the spread of the coronavirus. He might have only had $600,000 to give the Wuhan lab, but the USAID — the CIA front — stepped forward to magnify and accelerate the project. In the end, they brought death and destruction around the world, with individuals locked inside their own houses, unable to travel or communicate freely with even their closest relatives.
Victor Davis Hanson calls USAID a leftist “rogue organization.” He adds, “It’s been released that they were subsidizing everything from trans festivities overseas to gay comic books. But what was very interesting was there was a $40 million-plus grant to the Wuhan virology lab and channeled, apparently, through EcoHealth, Peter Daszak’s organization. This is important because under testimony, we were under the impression that Anthony Fauci only had his hands on $600,000.”
Here’s more from Hanson on The Daily Signal.
USAID earmarked billions of dollars for outrageous leftist causes. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll bring you updates as we learn more about each project, who got the money, and what purposes were supposedly served. Pravda, the Russian newspaper, is already having a field day ripping into the United States for this glaring corruption. Pravda carried a news article, claiming that USAID spent between $8 billion and $12 billion promoting Ukraine in its war against Russia.
The highlight of the article? Dollar amounts were spilled for a variety of Hollywood stars who made trips to Ukraine to support President Volodymyr Zelensky and rally the citizenry. Among the highest paid visitors: Jean Claude Van Damme, $1.5 million; Ben Stiller, $4 million; Sean Penn, $5 million; and Orlando Bloom, $8 million. The queen bee: Angelina Jolie, supposedly netted a cool $20 million for a one-day trip to Lviv, the largest city in western Ukraine!
Aparently, Hollywood’s liberal impulses aren’t so altruistic, but driven by cold, hard cash. Of course, Pravda could be lying and painting an outright fabrication. They are at war against the Ukraine, after all!
So we present Pravda’s claims, but we don’t necessarily believe them entirely. We await final word from Elon Musk’s DOGE auditors and hope they will ferret out the full truth about USAID’s grandiose excesses. In the meantime, here’s an excellent overview of this scandal from Man In America. The subtitle: “Your Taxes Fund Child Trafficking, Terrorism, Propaganda, Regime Changes & More.” The centerpiece of this report: Clips from Mikki Willis’ film Plandemic.
