Katie Benner sounds like an American girl next door right? Alas, a little digging below the surface reveals something rather specific about the New York Times journalist.
Ms. Katie Benner made headlines yesterday by tweeting: “Today’s #January6thSelectCommittee underscores the America’s current, essential natsec dilemma: Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician’s supporters enemies of the state,” the previously little-known Benner wrote.
Perhaps the purposeful avatar knocked people off the trail. Yes, the statement is jaw-dropping from a New York Times journalist who is openly calling Trump supporters “enemies of the state,” a tweet she soon deleted once the sunlight poured in.
Perhaps her NYT editors influenced the decision to delete the comments; or, well, perhaps the real people behind Ms. Benner noted she had gone a little too far – this time.
As it turns out, Ms. Benner is not quite what she appears…. not even close.
Katie Benner (pictured left) used to write freelance for the Beijing Review, China’s only National news magazine in English, published by the Chinese Communist Party-owned China International Publishing Group.
Benner joined the New York Times in 2015 after her initial work at the communist propaganda outlet. {NYT CITATION}
NEW YORK TIMES – […] “Katie Benner of Bloomberg joining The Times as a technology reporter. She’s covered Wall Street and Silicon Valley. She’s been a magazine writer and a columnist. Early in her career she wrote for Beijing Review, and since last fall, she has been based in San Francisco for Bloomberg View. (2015, link)
The CCP-controlled Beijing Review was designated by the U.S. State Department in 2020 as a “foreign mission” of China {Citation}. Emphasis mine:
STATE DEPT ARCHIVE – […] “Pursuant to authorities under the Foreign Missions Act, the State Department is issuing today a new determination that designates the U.S. operations of Yicai Global, Jiefang Daily, Xinmin Evening News, Social Sciences in China Press, Beijing Review, and Economic Daily as foreign missions. These six entities all meet the definition of a foreign mission under the Foreign Missions Act in that they are “substantially owned or effectively controlled” by a foreign government. In this case, they are effectively controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China”. (link)
So Ms. Benner was an operative, an embed, of the Chinese Communist Party propaganda machine. As the New York Times noted when they hired her: “When she lived in Beijing, she wrote about “everything from monks to music,” she says“; that point underscores that Ms. Benner was a young adult, pursuing a journalist career, living in communist China.
Departing Beijing and landing in San Francisco (fall of 2014), Katie Benner embedded into MSM via Bloomberg as a technology reporter. Then, she jumped over to the New York Times (June 2015), again focusing on the Tech sector…. and then for some unknown reason, the tech expertise was dropped, and she took on a new role reporting on U.S. Department of Justice issues. {Insert Suspicious Cat Here}….
The most recent article she wrote about, July 24th, just coincidentally happens to focus on the Joe Biden administration dropping charges against Chinese “researchers” (ie. spies) operating in the U.S. and hiding their connections to the Chinese military. Huh, go figure:
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department moved this week to drop cases that it brought last year against five visiting researchers accused of hiding their ties to China’s military, prompting questions about the department’s efforts to combat Chinese national security threats. (link)
Let me go out on a short-limb here, and say Ms. Benner is likely using her contacts within the DOJ to evaluate the risk to other Chinese agents distributed throughout the United States, and then she reports that risk back to her real handlers in Beijing.
SUMMARY – Ms. Katie Benner appears to be a Chinese Communist Party operative who worked through the U.S. media system as a journalist, eventually into the New York Times, weaving her way through the organization to a place where she focuses on national security issues within the DOJ…. and then, unfortunately for her CCP handlers, Ms. Benner triggered her CCP tradecraft motivation a little too openly on Twitter and did not clear the blast zone.
Yup. They are boring away everywhere. Like termites.
Right back at you, Katie.
Katie Benner the Anglo-ized name version.
I wonder what her real Oriental Mandarin name is ?
You read my mind.
Even their names are fake.
test
Great job!! Thank you Sundance.
lil’ O Katie is an enemy of the people.
Kinda tells us more about the NYT mutiny against the Tom Cotton op-ed and the Bari Weiss resignation, doesn’t it? I tend to think “Americana leftist” when it looks like, often they are not “Americana” at all, but have backgrounds like this.
Our country has been sold to chyna
Our media and politicians certainly have, but our country lives in our hearts!
Sold out to Marxist long ago. Remember FDR was surrounded by Soviet agents. He was compromised. We had a chance to take down the Marxist threat post WWII but failed to do so. Saint Joseph McCarthy is falsely vilified by much of the Right today. Just think about that.
For a cheap BioWMD and Fauchi’s Face on the Cover of Time.
Given the State of the State in America today, one must either be an Enemy of the State or an Enemy of the People and of the Country. Anything else is impossible.
Excellent!
“The Tree of Liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants; it is its Natural Manure.”
T. Jefferson
Personally, I’m glad Our Current Crop of Tyrants and Quisling Tory Tyranny Enablers have turned out to be ChiComs!
It adds layers of satisfaction to becoming
AmeriCong.
I’d like to be known as a WOLVERINE.
None. We know who the master is, CCP. They control the media, the Biden regime, the DOJ and so on.
We have plenty of self grown Marxists here. Most Dems are Marxist even if they don’t believe they are. As I mentioned in this thread FDR was surrounded by Soviet agents. There is a reason East Europe ended up in Stalin’s hands. We had a chance to take out the Commies post WWII but failed to do so. Today most on the Right vilify Saint Joseph McCarthy!
They (CCP) and their multi national corporations most of whom have corporate headquarters in America, own both our political parties. Presently big tech is using the censorship and truth denying (fact checking) they perfected in China on our soil. I have a big feeling that they purchase Hunter Biden’s art work through an agent at highly inflated prices.
Great research!
The ChiComs are protecting their investment in Biden.
Why is she making it sound like a bad thing … we are all enemies of the state, from the country’s very founding.
We are enemies of State Tyranny.
She IS State Tyranny.
Presenting all who disagree with you as “enemies” is SOOOO China Communist Party/Globalist Banking class, isn’t it?
Add her to the list.
I bet “Katie” is one of those people spreading around the Asian hate narrative too.
what they wont tell you is the Asian hate thing is black on Asian. It goes back to Vietnam refuges setting up small stores in inner cities. Black business owners saw it as an invasion. The Vietnamese were very good at black-marketing. They found alternative sources for cigarettes and alcohol. They were very good at marketing counterfeit merchandise purses, clothing, sunglasses. The existing stores in the neighborhood were still selling cigarettes’ by the pack as the law required. Law was something that was worked around in Vietnam so 2 for a quarter cigarettes keep them rolling in it.
Blacks saw black owned businesses fold but instead of supporting those business they continued to shop at the Asian stores and steal from them when they could….. Hands up don’t shoot.
Inflation changed the price but the game is still the same remember how 50cent got his name.?
See also “Rooftop Koreans” during the LA riots in 1992. Even made it into one of the GTA video games.
No takers
Sundance. Excellent. Just excellent. Catch them and expose them. Fantastic!!
DD
Great investigative work to prove the communist that she is. Regardless she will be a perfect lapdog for Barack Hussien, and sleepy joe. Bottom line she serves no purpose to mankind within our borders.
China CCP has infiltrated media, government agencies, universities, and every other influencer you can think of even down to partially owning our voting technology I suspect.
We already know they own many of our politicians and control the actions of many American corporations.
AmRev v3.1
I wonder how many CEOs they own……
any one of them that wants to do any substantial business in the PRC
Is NYTs ok with a CCP writer on their staff?
Do you think she is the only one? Being a totalitarian is a prerequisite of employment.
I don’t see why not . . . they are okay with that dummie Mara Gay who thought that Michael Bloomberg could have given one million dollars to every American and still have some left over (instead of spending it on his 2020 Presidential campaign)
I think the hiring managers, be they public, university or private, need to be exposed. Their names and pictures should be posted right along with the spies. They are collaborating, aiding and abetting true enemies of the United States.
I went to a symposium on higher ed and the student slots when I was attending a CSU (public school) with the University president and a representative from UC Berkeley…when Q&A opened I asked about the many Chinese and other foreign national students there at a smaller public university taking up slots subsidized by US taxpayers…the U president said they were solely in search of the extra funding the foreign nationals supplied by paying full freight tuition and as a bit of cheese stated some of those additional $s were used to offset the cost of Americans attending through funding of grants
I thought it was a prerequisite?
It is important to know what the other side thinks, so we can be grateful for their occasional fits of honesty.
In other words, she’s just like most of the other MSM reporters…
the corporate reporters…
Weaponized stupidity seems to have been perfected by Intel services.
Thank you Sundance !
We need a stronger disinfecting light.
Jefferson suggested it was blood.
Tree of Liberty is in need of watering it would appear….sadness is real
Starting to feel like we’re living in a dystopian novel…
Just like FangFang, CCP agents everywhere, giving lessons that Nazis would envy.
“Ms Benner” gives us the HongKong treatment to warmup.
No telling when organ donations begin – Hunter may need new organs before Joe…
Pls deport and interview via Gitmo…
Just like the obviously dementia-impaired President *, the Dems / left don’t care what we know and what they reveal anymore. They just gaslight us and tell us to shut up and take it. Essentially, it’s come down to this; stop us if you can. If not, shut up and obey.
And every day that passes it will be that much harder to stop them. That’s what they’re counting on. By the time the average American knows what’s happening, it will be too late.
Most people don’t keep abreast of current events like all of you here. They are just out there trying to live their lives the best they can under the circumstances.
The communists know this. It’s part of their strategy.
I see you are not one of us, as in using “you” , rather than “us”
“Most people don’t keep abreast of current events like all of you here”
“By the time the average American knows what’s happening, it will be too late.”
Oh, that ship has sailed long ago… and the “elites” weren’t “sleeping”:

One of the tragic things is, those people you’re talking about think it is their “duty” to vote, but not their duty to at least seek a clue about what’s going on.
I keep thinking, it’s not the hard left — 20-25% — I worry about—it’s people like those in my own family, who, for no good reason other than “orange man bad” voted out the man who had this country on the way to becoming great again — and voted for obama’s third term– only worse.
And they’re real proud, like, gee, they voted like they’re supposed to and, hey, as a side benefit no more nasty tweets, and they have no idea that because of their ignorance *(and I mean that literally), America’s chances of being under a global and totalitarian surveillance government within ten years — is so great that it’s looking more hopeless every day.
Frederick Douglass on people and the limits of Tyrants.
You mean operator like the CCP-equivalent of an embedded CIA operator?
Liberals want to be free to express their opinions. As long as everyone else who disagrees with them is censored and persecuted for expressing theirs.
They have no actual opinions…well, at least the leftist voters I’m thinking of. They repeat talking points.
Anytime they start, ask them for an example. Like, “What policy of Trump’s do you think was bad for the country?” or “What is a policy of the current administration you agree with– and why?” — they are struck dumb. They really don’t know.
We have not had “liberals” around for so long, but the gaslighting perhaps began when they turned hard left and kept on calling themselves by that name, so the voters weren’t thrown off.
“…operative who worked through the U.S. media system.”
The Woodward way
Likely more plants in media these days than in the Lincoln Park Conservatory.
Did she sleep her way to the bottom like Fang Fang?
thank you, Sundance!
“With a name like Smuckers (or Benner) it’s gotta be good” ~ recycled tag line
We should change the name of CTH to “The Daily Outrage”. There is never a shortage of things to outrage over.
Yes.
And for which Rage, and actions engendered by rage, are the appropriate cogent response.
I read this about an hour ago and walked away. But after thinking about it, I have to comment. This “journalist” wants half the population of the United States declared ENEMIES OF THE STATE! Does anyone else understand what that means? May Ms. Benner be the first to feel the full effect of her suggestion.
Since she’s been exposed she’ll probably get disappeared.
I do, but then I’ve been reading Walter Williams’
“Time to Part Company” and rewrites since 2001.
Further I am on record as rejecting Williams’ premise the “Divorce” can happen peacefully.
Thus my constant “drum beat” about The Founders’ Methods.
A few here, but not, I think, the Majority, agree with me.
Peaceful political organizing, Civil Disobedience, and Divine Intervention* seem to be preferred approach in the TCTh.
*My theology holds that God is ALWAYS “intervening”, I had an interesting Q&A with my NT Proff about that; what I find thin in the TCTh is specifics on the hows of Divine Intervention.
Pardon me,
“I had an interesting Q&A with my NT Proff about that; what I find thin in the TCTh is specifics on the hows of Divine Intervention.”
God’s ways are MEANT to be a mystery to man…the only time we see His providence for the most part is in the MACRO or one of His miracles…not only does he have capabilities we can not even fathom…His pattern of thought is foreign to us and can only be interpreted through His help when He chooses to do so
Gods plans are a trillion, trillion, trillion x a trillion chess moves in advance.
Impossible for even Satan to know, let alone us.
“Enemy of the people” coming from the CCP.
The Enemy is within. We’re Crystal Clear
The Old Grey (dying) Mare has gotten an Mandarin Orange (red and yellow)
dye job.
BTW is that a Pikachu hat?
Imagine the echo chamber she must live in for this tweet to sound completely uncontroversial in her head.
Benner could be heard screaming “…don’t mock me, Round Eye!!!” as she was removed from the premises.
!Cultural Appropriation!”
?
“…other Chinese agents distributed throughout the United States”
Why does cancer cells coursing through the bloodstream come to mind?
Accuracy
Very well financed cancer cells, their political and corporate bribes funded courtesy of US citizen lemmings buying Chinese goods.
She spent some time in China.
Send her back.
Her ideas aren’t wanted in a free society.
Can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a ChiCom spy.
One hundred percent spot-the-hell-on.
Only thing you left out, Sundance, is that that once venerable ‘gray lady’ could conceivably also be an operative. How ’bout it, NYTimes human resources? You hired her.
Meanwhile, if being diametrically opposed to the tyrannical, progressive left that poses as our federal government makes me their enemy, well, let it be so.
Wow, only took her 2 years to land a job at the “prestigious” new york times.
Wonder how she developed those DOJ contacts so quickly.
Perhaps eric swalwell has some insight.
Carlos Slim, the Mexican multi-billionaire, who has a controlling financial interest in the NYT may be someone who just may have a financial interest in China-related issues. What are the chances?
Heard a clip of the WH press corps and Psaki singing “Happy Birthday” to a journalist the other day and saying he’s twenty-nine, and I was thinking the same….who do you have to be to become a WH reporter at twenty-nine?
And think of how the country suffers when it’s people who can only remember one presidency — BO’s — who are writing pieces about government today. Don’t they even want someone with a modicum of personal history? What about that “there is no fact but ‘lived experience’ ” they’re always going on about?
Those are the spoiled children writing about MAGA being uneducated hicks and PDT being too stupid to be president.
Beijing Kat
Sang Sang
Sang Sang needs to meet the counter-CCP spy, “Bang Bang”.
Is she finds a noose in the ladies room there will be 35 rank and file top FBI agents on the case.
I think, that, at this point, it is important, to define, what the NYT considers, “The State”.
They covertly imply and we can overtly infer, that the “State” is an all powerful force, centralized authority that supersedes the traditional power granted to the hoi polloi by that oh, so, out of date, “living document” (When Convenient) called the Constitution.
The “State” like AntiFa, is an idea, a NARRATIVE and it’s power stems, like Mao said, from “the end of a gun barrel”, not any naive, Fin De Siecle, out of date presumption that 250 years of American jurisprudence, legislation, laws and CERTAINLY not any actual fair and free election has anything to do with the utilitarian application of any “laws” when the crosshairs of the Brute Power Of The Imperium is focused on ANYONE with the ill advised temerity to challenge it.
The “State”, supported by the Fascists in the Deep State, the 4th Estate, BIG TECH, Wall Street Globalists and the military are bound unto death by the whim and caprice of the D 卐 M ☭ CRAT party and is in no way subject to any laws, as, THEY (THE STATE) ARE THE LAW.
The NYT wants you to know, the “State” is the Borg and resistance is futile.
That is extremely well-put. Absolutely.
“Katie Benner”
“As Americans….”
“we do not believe state power should be used….against a political party”
Started her career in Beijing working for official communist party propaganda outlets. Being a “journalist” in the PRC probably requires vetting and likely membership in the CCP.
Whether she is Chinese born/raised or she chose to return to China to start her journalist career, her history shows:
-she does not identify as American
-she rejects any American ideas against government power over the press
-she is comfortable with communism
In other words, she is a perfect employee of the NY Times and the media in general.
So, what is her status, exactly . . . has she overstayed her Visa?
Little CCP Katie exposed! Great job Sundance! Sunlight is awesome.
I am shocked! Shocked! I tells ya, that the New York Times would employ a Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece.
OK Katie (if that’s your real name) I have a question. As a Trump, MAGA supporter which “State” am I an enemy of? The United States of America or the Peoples Republic of China (CCP). I guarantee it is the latter.
You are the enemy of the people of the United States like the rest of your Commie fellow traveler comrades that have sold their souls to the CCP. This is including, but not limited to, the CPUSA Democrats and the controlled opposition aka the RINO Neo-Con GOPe. Uniparty anyone?
Oh yeah and let’s not forget the so called ” woke mainstream corporate media” that you have infiltrated to propagandize and push the Communist “great reset” like the rest of the brainwashed domestic Communist talking head that are pouring out of the university indoctrination centers.
Bet she parties with Eric, Hunter, and Fang Fang.
She is probably considered moderate at the NYT.
So how long until she is called back to china and never heard from again. Then six months past her family asks where did she disappear to.
Thank you Sundance
No doubt there are countless embeds from CCP all over our country
If this site can deduce this, why can’t the people who are supposed to be FOR a Free Country see this. My guess they can and don’t care. That is why I am glad I am old and won’t have to see the ultimate end to this Country as those my age have known it.
Because the Marxist won post WWII. They have control of all levers (Fed Gov, Media, Big Business, Education) of the country. We had a chance to take out the Commies post WWII and failed. Today Saint Joseph McCarthy is vilified by most of the Right. They have fallen for the Commie Dem propaganda. They are enablers.
while it could be thought of as a comfort when we are old we will not be subjected to the utter inhumanity of the coming times…I was in a depressed state in the immediate aftermath of 3 Nov with the brazenness and totality of their actions…Then I took solace in the fact that not only did God have this but I already knew the outcome…it IS comforting to know I am on the winning side no matter the tribulations until then
Good movie though, “Enemy of the State”
Maybe they’ll do a part 2 starring all of us… “Enemies of the state”
You wanna talk live action, looking forward to that sequel.
Great movie….but disturbing too.
So men can be women and women can be men, and now foreign spies can be American Patriots?
This is as confusing as the mask mandate
That reminds me– saw an ad today about this:
“Amazon Alexa Gets Male Counterpart Called Ziggy” —
so now the surveillance in your house (if you’re…um….”****” enough to buy one) has a gender, but people don’t….they’re fluid.
Bizarre. And I bet not one kid will pick up on the weirdness of this. They’ll all be saying “Yeah, I changed mine to Ziggy–it’s cool to have it be a guy” — because kids today don’t know the meaning of irony.
