The Media-Corporate Censorship Complex

Mike Benz explains the development of the insidious surveillance and censorship regime inside the United States that has resulted from the wicked alliance of federal government, private corporations, and non-profit organizations coming together to exert control over the American people:

1. Government and Tech Collaboration: Benz described how the U.S. government has increasingly leaned on tech companies like Google and Twitter to censor content deemed as misinformation or disinformation. He traced the origins of this collaboration back to when tech companies were part of national security strategies, especially post-2016 election combined with the Russian Collusion hoax. to “combat foreign interference”, which has since morphed into broader domestic censorship efforts.

2. Military-Industrial Complex Influence: The military-industrial complex has mechanisms used for foreign influence operations; these have turned inward to control domestic narratives. This has included funding and influence from defense-related entities to shape information environments, both abroad and at home.

3. NGOs as Government Proxies: Numerous NGOs act as government proxies in executing censorship policies. These organizations, often funded by the government or large foundations, help shape the narrative by influencing social media platforms to censor content under the guise of combating disinformation. Examples include the Atlantic Council and the Aspen Institute, which have been implicated in influencing digital content moderation.

4. Universities and Academic Institutions: Dozens of U.S. universities have established taxpayer-funded centers focused on disinformation studies, which he claims are essentially censorship hubs. These include major universities where departments like sociology, communications, or even applied physics are involved in developing AI and other tools for censorship. This academic involvement is seen as part of a broader civil society effort to legitimize and carry out censorship initiatives.

5. Media’s Role: The media plays a significant role in this complex by often promoting narratives that align with government interests or by directly participating in the censorship by flagging content or influencing public opinion against certain discourses. Media outlets work in tandem with government agencies to push for the censorship of certain viewpoints.

6. The Role of the Intelligence Community: Benz detailed how intelligence agencies have covertly influenced online narratives. He cited instances where the NSA and other intelligence bodies have allegedly collaborated with media to target political opponents or narratives not favorable to the establishment’s views, using leaks and other clandestine methods.

7. Election Integrity and Censorship: He argued that the censorship apparatus was significantly ramped up around elections, with the intention of controlling political discourse. Events like Russiagate were used as justifications to expand these operations, which Benz claims are aimed at suppressing populist movements that threaten the status quo of the foreign policy establishment.

8. EU’s Influence on Censorship: Benz also touched on how European Union policies, particularly the Digital Services Act, have implications for global internet freedom. He suggested these laws are designed to curb the rise of populist parties by controlling what can be said online, which indirectly pressures U.S. platforms due to their international operations.

9. The Whole of Society Approach: Benz explained the concept of a “whole of society” approach to disinformation, where the government funds and coordinates with various societal sectors to enforce censorship. This includes not just tech companies but also think tanks, university programs, and media outlets, creating a seemingly democratic push for censorship that’s actually orchestrated from the top.

10. Legal and Policy Frameworks: He critiqued how laws and policies have been shaped to justify this censorship under the guise of protecting democracy or national security. Benz suggested that this framing inverts democratic principles by allowing government control over speech to preserve the power of certain institutions, like legacy media, which he claims are seen as assets to be protected through censorship.

This complex is an essential tool of what some describe as the Deep State, as well as the neo-satanic construct that, for lack of any better term, we call Clown World. If President Trump is serious about fulfilling his duty to the American people, he will have to begin dismantling it as soon as he takes office rather than trying to work with it.

Darkness in London

Some observers are anticipating a false flag in London after observing that nearly all of London’s omnipresent webcams have been uncharacteristically turned off.

Yesterday, as I was finalizing my new report on Great Britain, an update to my August 26 article “The Coming Collapse of Britain,” YouTube randomly suggested to me a short video by one Craig Houston titled, “Why are ALL LONDON webcams offline…?” I was nearly floored: Mr. Houston looked through hundreds of Webcams across London and could not find a single one that was live. See for yourself here and here! That’s extremely odd: clearly, someone made the decision to switch them all off – they couldn’t all have failed randomly.

One of the webcams over the Westminster bridge displayed the last image it recorded: it was on 2 September 2024 at 16:51, which at least gives us a clue about when the Heart of Darkness went dark to the world. I posted a comment about this in my TrendCompass report yesterday and one of the readers found a working Webcam at Abbey road. Still, that’s one out of hundreds that are still dark.

Why someone would decide to cut all the webcams is a mystery, and an ominous one. Mr. Houston didn’t offer any explanations, which is understandable given that he lives in Britain where singing, “kung fu fighting,” or silently praying on the sidewalk can get you arrested. But where he declined to tread, I’ll venture a guess.

I think it’s the only explanation that makes any sense to my mind: they are planning a false-flag terror attack on London which they’ll blame on Russia, so that they can trigger an all-out, whole-of-society mobilization by all of the Western powers against Russia.

This hypothesis may explain why the Russians have gone to such lengths to very publicly display the terrible capabilities of their conventional weapons, such as the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, in order to demonstrate that any nuclear false flag was neither necessary nor orchestrated by them. Two hallmarks of false flags is that the number of casualties is always less than would reasonably be expected – less than three thousand people died in the demolition of the Two Towers, when more than 50,000 people worked there every day – and the scale and scope of the false flag is always a little bit smaller and less consequential than would otherwise make sense.

In other words, a real terrorist attack on the FBI isn’t going to be in some random field office; the Oklahoma City truck could have just as easily have been parked in front of the J. Edgar Hoover Building. If there is a false flag attack in London, it would probably be on some trivial, but vaguely symbolic structure that was already scheduled for demolition. An aging football stadium scheduled for replacement would make an ideal candidate.

But a small dirty bomb going off somewhere in London is going to look totally unconvincing now that everyone knows Russia can demolish any target in the UK in less than 17 minutes with 36 hypersonic warheads in a single missile launch.

Whether Clown World actually dares to risk waving a false flag or not with the Trump administration taking power in little more than a month, it’s clear that its warmongers are increasingly desperate to put the nations of the West on the same sort of martial footing that the October 7th green flag succeeded in creating in Israel. Whether the deactivated streetcams of London are an indication that one is forthcoming or not, it’s best to watch with a deeply jaundiced eye whatever the next big current event happens to be, particularly if we’re immediately informed that the Russians were responsible.

UPDATE: The website that shows all of the camera feeds shows that they are still offline.

Panic in the Clown Media

MSNBC employees discover that they’re about to be thrown from the high horse now that their utility to their masters is in serious decline. And they’re not taking it well.

X owner and Donald Trump ally Elon Musk has shown interest in potentially acquiring the left-leaning cable news channel MSNBC amid rumors that its parent company, Comcast, is considering a sale due to plummeting ratings.

On Wednesday, Comcast announced that it would spin off a number of its companies into a separate media holding comprising USA Network, CNBC, MSNBC, and several other networks, which will be dubbed SpinCo. While the company portrayed the move as positive, saying the holding would be well-capitalized, “ideally positioned for success and highly attractive to investors,” media reports painted a different picture.

The New York Post reported, citing an MSNBC insider, that the network’s staff is in “panic because everything is up in the air” as executives are reportedly considering changing the network’s name, logo, and even its headquarters. This week’s Nielsen ratings show MSNBC’s daily viewership having plummeted by 38% after Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential election. 

And it’s not as if they had good ratings prior to the election. But the ability to maintain the Narrative desired by the scriptwriters depends upon their possession of a) audience and b) credibility. But now that they possess neither, there is absolutely no use for them.

Complete Detachment From Reality

A French regulator has ruled that since unborn children are not “living beings” it is forbidden to state that abortion can be a cause of death on the airwaves. Even though abortion is observably the world’s leading cause of death among homo sapiens sapiens.

The French media regulator has fined the conservative channel CNews €100,000 for, during a Catholic programme, saying that abortion is the world’s leading cause of death. The episode reveals the extent to which the debate on abortion is deadlocked in France.

In February 2024, presenter Aymeric Pourbaix, during the Catholic programme “En quête d’esprit,” broadcast every Sunday on the conservative channel CNews, showed an infographic on the causes of death, ranking abortion as the leading cause, with 73 million deaths each year worldwide. That translates to 52% of annual deaths, far ahead of cancer (10 million) and smoking (6.2 million).

The journalist’s comments sparked a wave of indignation in the mainstream press, on the grounds that abortion cannot be considered a “cause of death” because the foetus should not be considered a living being… In the weekly magazine Valeurs Actuelles, Jean-Marie Le Méné, head of the Fondation Jérôme Lejeune, denounced the totalitarian nature of this decision, which proves the denial of reality that surrounds the practice of abortion in France:

Arcom writes: “Abortion cannot be presented as a cause of death.” Equating an aborted child with a dead person would make abortion a homicidal act. So that abortion can be carried out with a clear conscience, it is forbidden to say that abortion takes away life. Otherwise the keystone of the system collapses. But who believes this fiction?

He adds: “Abortion, the leading cause of death in the world, is unfortunately a fact, not an opinion.”

This decision demonstrates Clown World’s complete detachment from science, medicine, law, and reality. If unborn children were not “living beings” then no doctor would ever tell a woman that her pre-natal child had died in the womb. In fact, it would be impossible for any baby to die in the womb if the pre-natal baby was not a living being.

Never buy into the false dichotomy of something being EITHER evil or stupid. In most cases, evil is stupid, because it is intrinsically detached from, and actively opposed to, God, Nature, scientage, logic, reason, and observable reality.

The fact that abortion is undeniably the current leading cause of death for human beings is why I describe feminism as one of the very worst ideologies in human history, worse than Communism, worse than fascism, and worse than National Socialism. Those who have supported feminism in any way should reflect about the fact that future generations will regard them as having been more evil, and more horrifically stupid, than they now regard those who supported the historical Communists, fascists, and Nazis.

Zelensky on the Way Out

Simplicius notes that the mainstream Narrative is now preparing the ground for the removal of Zelensky as the puppet-in-chief of the Kiev regime.

Just a day after we wrote about the ‘rumored’ new plan for the US to hold Ukrainian elections next year to give intransigent Zelensky the boot, The Economist made it semi-official by acknowledging that, ‘suddenly’, Zelensky is facing a ‘power struggle’ at home. It’s in line with how Biden’s advanced dementia was just “abruptly” discovered by figures and organs of the establishment, only after becoming convenient and politically expedient enough for them to make it public. Similarly here, as soon as the memo-from-above’s arrival, The Economist sprang into pre-conditioning the ground to sell the narrative that Zelensky’s regime is now on uncertain footing; they would have never been allowed to even suggest that Zelensky faced danger at home until it became necessary to do so…

A ‘dignified bow out’ just like the same establishment forces asked of Zelensky’s fateful partner-in-crime Joe Biden. Remember, it’s either the “easy way” or the “hard way”, as Pelosi said; the same stands for Zelensky. Take your free trip to Tel Aviv or we can begin raising the level of ‘encouragement’. After all, recall Zaluzhny was directed to step down from his role as general for a long time, and it was only after his direct subordinates began to be assassinated did he heed the warning and do as he was told.

Sooner or later, every ticket-taker ceases to be useful and is thrown from the high horse.

One of the best reasons to follow the alternative media, in either blog or video form, is that you will reliably have some idea what is going on long before the mainstream media is allowed to cover it. Biden’s dementia was recognized and discussed in the alternative media long before the mainstream journalists dared to observe the obvious, and in like manner, the inevitable outcome of the war in Ukraine was pointed out more than two years before the media stopped blathering about Russia running out of men and ammunition in two weeks, or a popular groundswell driving President Putin from power.

Isn’t it informative how a single defeat or embarrassment is supposedly sufficient to force someone the media hates out of office, but 32 straight months of one defeat after another have proved insufficient to destabilize media favorite Zelensky’s position despite his cancellation of elections and present illegitimate status?

Anyhow, now that Clown World’s favor has officially been withdrawn from their puppet in Kiev, it’s only a matter of time before he is removed from the scene one way or another. This will be the sign that negotiations with Russia to end the special military operation are being pursued; whether Russia is feeling magnanimous in victory or not is another matter entirely.

And it’s no wonder that the Europeans are all panicking about Trump’s election. Russia is making it clear that its demands will include the withdrawal of NATO to the German border, and Trump will know that’s a good deal that’s worth taking.

The Kremlin is again saying that Russia is only interested in those negotiations that will ensure the fulfillment of all tasks in the context of Ukraine and Ryabkov’s 2021 ultimatum about NATO’s withdrawal to the border of Germany. Everything else is of no concern, as is the change of faces in the White House. There will be no deal.

An Intriguing Metric

Some might see this as a black pill. I see it more as an intriguing and potentially informative metric for the near-future.

THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT: In 2018 it was already decided to remove President Trump from the White House. Trump will never be allowed to win the 2024 Election. The Biden Administration is under the control of the Shadow Government. Facebook owned by U.S. Government. Covid-19 planned.

The Shadow Government is the Committee of 300 and Bill Gates is one of the current members of the Committee of 300 which controls all the affairs of the world except for Russia and China. The Committee of 300 also controls the Pedophile systems around the world and all the major human trafficking networks which involve 8 million innocent children a year who are raped, tortured and murdered.

There will never be fair elections in the United States and around the world until the Committee of 300 is removed from our society. They will not let President Trump or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. become President of the United States in 2024.

I don’t disagree with the central assumption that the Committee of 300 is somehow involved in the leadership of Clown World, that it was involved in the election fraud of 2020, or that it will not willingly permit President Trump to become President of the USA again in 2024.

But, as we have seen in Ukraine and the Middle East over the last two years, the Committee of 300 does not appear to be as in control of events as it was in the past. And so, if Donald Trump is elected President in a few weeks and is subsequently sworn into office, this will be a very good sign that the power of the Committee, and of Clown World, has been broken.

BRICS to Expand by 13

13 countries received the status of BRICS partner country at the 2024 BRICS summit. They are Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda and Vietnam. BRICS partner country status is a mandatory step before full membership.

The 13 new partner countries, at least 10 of which will become full BRICS members in a year or so, effectively add 840,276,082 people to the economic alliance, which alone is more than the USA, the UK, the EU, and Israel combined. Their coming addition will also make BRICS the global majority. The key additions are current NATO member Türkiye, Southeast Asian giant Indonesia, African giant Nigeria, and Asian military power Vietnam. Clown World has been desperate to keep both Türkiye and Vietnam on its side, but it now appears to have lost both.

At this point, it should be clear that Russia has comprehensively defeated Clown World, not only militarily and economically, but diplomatically as well. To paraphrase Rorshach, Clown World hasn’t locked Russia in solitary, but Clown World is locked in with itself.

Note to the Finnish, Swedish, and Swiss governments: You all chose poorly in selecting this particular moment in time to abandon your historic neutralities. Very, very poorly indeed. There isn’t a single BRICS nation, or even BRICS partner country, that is as small as any of you. Not only is the USA totally incapable of “protecting” you from Russia or any other military threat, but you’re actively doing harm to your ability to engage economically with more than half of the globe and counting.

You would do well to re-establish your neutrality, and do it fast.

Moldova Rejects EU

This may mark the death knell for the EU. Once every Central and Eastern European state was desperate to join. Now, a number of existing members want out and formerly-prospective members no longer see any benefit to joining:

Voters in Moldova have rejected the government-backed proposal to enshrine eventual integration with the EU in the former Soviet country’s constitution. During Sunday’s referendum, held simultaneously with a presidential election, voters were asked whether the constitution should be amended to reflect the “irreversible European course” of the country and affirm the “integration into the European Union as a strategic objective” of the nation.

With more than 86% of the ballots counted, 54.55% voted against the proposal, while 45.45% voted in favor, according to the preliminary results cited by the news channel TVR.

BRICS is the smarter bet anyhow. But staying out of the EU is paramount. Never trust anyone who wants you to sign on to something “irreversible”. It’s almost as obvious as requiring you to sign in blood.

UPDATE: And now it looks as if this “vote” is about as legitimate as the faked 2020 US Presidential election. The referendum was suddenly turned around at the last minute with a flood of YES votes being found in the final hours. Democracy is increasingly nothing more than a flat-out fraud that inverts the genuine will of the people.

Potrivit rezultatelor preliminare, după prelucrarea a 98,74% din buletinele de vot din cadrul Referendumului constituțional 50,24% au votat DA și 49,76% au votat NU.

This probably means that Russia will have to invade Moldova sooner or later to free its people from Clown World.

The Second Phase of WWIII

Didactic Mind explains the significance of the BRICS Pay card announced last week:

Each individual BRICS+ nation is at a different stage of development along the path of having a proper banking system. Therefore, trying to create a unified messaging and money transfer platform, is COLOSSALLY difficult. The back-end infrastructure of global payment systems IS NOT easy to build – take my word for it on this – and nor is it a trivial matter to get different national payment systems to work together. I have barely even begun to describe the problems involved, and I am by no means a deep-knowledge subject matter expert on the issue.

But… we are now seeing the beginnings of a new financial order coming together. And that BRICS payment card prototype, is the first demonstration of the front-end technology. Whether the back-end is fully operational, is very much open to question – but it does seem to be getting there.

The importance of this development cannot be overstated. If the architects of the Western financial system are paying any attention whatsoever to the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan’, which starts very soon – in fact, the BRICS Business Forum wrapped up just today – then they should be sweating bullets.

The advent of a true globally scalable, secure, stable, and reliable BRICS+ payment system will allow for rapid digital settlements between BRICS+ central banks. That was one of the original ideas behind this system – to use some sort of digital currency backbone to settle in national currencies between different countries. I had heard many different idea proposed, ranging from a stablecoin of some kind, to a gold-backed and metals-backed currency, to a new currency built on a basket of currencies, like the old “bancor” idea that John Maynard Keynes proposed as the fundamental unit of exchange within the old Bretton Woods system, or the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) that the IMF has the ability to issue.

If, or rather, in my opinion, WHEN, this becomes a reality – in whatever form it takes – the dominance of the dollar is DONE.

This is not hyperbole. Think about it. Why would anyone want to use SWIFT, and pay the (quite exorbitant, in relative terms) fees to send money through a literal cartel of correspondent banks to transfer money overseas, when they could go through a digital system with far lower fees, and transact directly in local currencies, with local exchange rates? And if people can do this peer-to-peer, or business-to-business… what need is there for the dollar?

I think this is why we’re seeing the Clown World provocations heating up everywhere from the Korean Peninsula to Ukraine. The end of military supremacy is bad enough, but the direct undermining of the international dollar system spells out the end of Clown World. And desperate people accept very low-probability odds…
