It turns out the Censorship Industrial Complex is not just real. It is a lot more complex than you likely imagined. It is currently centered in the US under the Department of Homeland Security, but there are a lot of players and moving parts, as explained by Tucker’s latest Guest, Mike Benz. And they meddle in elections.
These are the folks you heard about in the Twitter files and who are working – even now- to limit Democracy by silencing citizens engaged in public political debate in the name of protecting democracy.
Benz flawlessly explains the history and background as well as the reason for the current state of censorship around the world and in America, hiding behind the current anti-democracy narratives wrapped in terms like misinformation, disinformation, and malformation. Window dressing for legitimatizing government censorship, using AI and high-tech online surveillance of Americans to suppress, discredit, or censor anything or anyone it doesn’t like.
I do not often use the term ‘must watch,’ but you should watch this and then…watch it again. It is mind-blowing and, at the same time, not all that surprising given recent events. Benz’s understanding of the players, the history, and the tools seems unprecedented and almost impossible to believe until you’ve seen it and heard it for yourself.
Mike Benz, is a former State Department official with responsibilities in formulating and negotiating US foreign policy on international communications and information technology matters. Mr. Benz founded FFO as a civil society institution building on his experience in the role of championing digital freedom around the world in the public sector.
Uncensored: The National Security State & the Inversion of Democracy
The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. “What I’m describing is military rule,” says Mike Benz. “It’s the inversion of democracy.”
