Benz has been tracking the rise of censorship for years as executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department diplomat. Now in part two, Benz explains how tools originally developed to promote regime change were deployed against Americans.“What you are doing in a regime-change operation is you are operationalizing huge masses of an indigenous or domestic population in order to create a ground-up overthrow of a sitting government. And in order to do that, you need to control the media infrastructure, you need to control the narratives that people believe… What was new is that in 2016, this began coming home,” Benz says. Changes in America also corresponded with changes in the broader Western world, Benz says. “There became a whole new military doctrine—it’s not a new concept, [but] I think it was given a new name—called hybrid warfare. NATO declared a new doctrine called ‘from tanks to tweets.’” And a whole new lexicon emerged to describe the new censorship regime, Benz says, from “digital resilience” to “media literacy” to “moderation” and “intervention.” “Whoever can control the Department of Dirty Tricks is able to use it to remove all opposition,” Benz says. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders🔵SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL TODAY: 🔔 https://www.youtube.com/c/AmericanThoughtLeadersFind out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html#MikeBenz #TwitterFiles #Censorship – – -LATEST EXCLUSIVE EPISODES:PART 1: Mike Benz: The West’s Burgeoning Censorship Industry and the Government Funds Pouring In—From the DHS to DARPA to the National Science Foundation https://ept.ms/Y0202MikeBenzChaya Raichik, ‘Libs of TikTok’ Creator, on Classroom Indoctrination and TikTok ‘Narcissists’https://ept.ms/Y0131ChayaRaichikOrlando Gutierrez-Boronat: Cuba’s Pawns, Informants, and Financiers, from China to Americahttps://ept.ms/Y0128Gutierrez-BoronatAlvin Lui: How Schools Are Weaponizing ‘Inclusion,’ Empathy, and ’Social Emotional Learning’ to Indoctrinate Childrenhttps://ept.ms/Y0126AlvinLuiJosh Stirling: Dissecting Excess Death Data and How Insurance Industry’s Trillions Could Be Deployed to Help the Vaccine-Injuredhttps://ept.ms/Y0124JoshStirlingBrianne Dressen: Gaslit by Doctors and Loved Ones, Some Vaccine-Injured Are Making the Ultimate Choice to End Their Sufferinghttps://ept.ms/Y0119BrianneDressen- – -Mike Benz (Part 2): How the ‘Department of Dirty Tricks’ Turned on Americans – – -Credits:shutterstock Images: https://shutr.bz/2u8Zdp8Music: Audioblocks.com, epidemicsound.comStock Video: Videoblocks.com————————————————-© All Rights Reserved.

PART 1: Mike Benz: The West’s Burgeoning Censorship Industry & the Gov’t Funds Pouring In | TEASER #EpochCinema #EpochTV #TheEpochTimes #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

🔵 Watch the Full Episode 👉 https://ept.ms/Y0202MikeBenz🔵 THE FINAL WAR is a documentary that uncovers the Chinese Communist Party’s 100-year plot to defeat America.👉👉 https://ept.ms/3UMSDfC🔵 Sign up for the American Thought Leaders newsletter to stay up-to-date on new episodes, releases, and events 👉 https://ept.ms/ATLnewsletter “Whoever can control the Department of Dirty Tricks is able to use it to remove all opposition.” The Twitter Files were just the tip of the iceberg, says Mike Benz, who has been tracking the rise of the West’s censorship industry for years. “22 million tweets were categorized as misinformation for purposes of takedowns or throttling through [the Election Integrity Partnership],” Benz says. “It wasn’t just government individual takedown requests. It was government pressure…to create whole new categories of things to censor and then arming them with the artificial intelligence to then automatically scan and ban the new thought violations.” In this comprehensive two-part interview, he breaks down the major players in today’s censorship regime and how tactics once used abroad were deployed to target Americans and so-called election “delegitimization” or COVID “misinformation” online. “Graphika was immediately working with NATO’s essentially psychological warfare branch—the the Hybrid Center of Excellence—in January 2020…They had this sophisticated typography of what right-wing media was saying, what left wing media was saying, what was being shared, the nodes and links between nodes of all the different narrative discourses on social media.”Benz is the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online and a former State Department diplomat under the Trump administration. “They will have a revolving door at the professional level. That is, people who are in government roles, for example, in Misinformation, Disinformation, and Malinformation at DHS will get their next jobs at the German Marshall Fund or the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab…It is a career path. It is a path to power,” Benz says. 💛 Support us to fight for the truth👉https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders🔵SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL TODAY: 🔔 https://www.youtube.com/c/AmericanThoughtLeadersFind out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html#MikeBenz #Censorship #TwitterFiles – – -LATEST EXCLUSIVE EPISODES:Chaya Raichik, ‘Libs of TikTok’ Creator, on Classroom Indoctrination and TikTok ‘Narcissists’https://ept.ms/Y0131ChayaRaichikOrlando Gutierrez-Boronat: Cuba’s Pawns, Informants, and Financiers, from China to Americahttps://ept.ms/Y0128Gutierrez-BoronatAlvin Lui: How Schools Are Weaponizing ‘Inclusion,’ Empathy, and ’Social Emotional Learning’ to Indoctrinate Childrenhttps://ept.ms/Y0126AlvinLuiJosh Stirling: Dissecting Excess Death Data and How Insurance Industry’s Trillions Could Be Deployed to Help the Vaccine-Injuredhttps://ept.ms/Y0124JoshStirlingBrianne Dressen: Gaslit by Doctors and Loved Ones, Some Vaccine-Injured Are Making the Ultimate Choice to End Their Sufferinghttps://ept.ms/Y0119BrianneDressen- – -PART 1: Mike Benz: The West’s Burgeoning Censorship Industry and the Government Funds Pouring In—From the DHS to DARPA to the National Science Foundation – – -Credits:shutterstock Images: https://shutr.bz/2u8Zdp8Music: Audioblocks.com, epidemicsound.comStock Video: Videoblocks.com————————————————-© All Rights Reserved.
