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.”
CTH readers have discussed this issue for several years. What Benz describes in the video below is the reality of what systems and tech architecture are in place right now. The big picture of who wants control over the domestic internet apparatus and how. WATCH:
It is important to begin with the end in mind. Perhaps some people are unaware that internet services, meaning the actual experience of using the internet for communication and commerce, are not the same in every nation. In fact, it is quite a different experience depending on where on the globe you are located. The differences are driven by internal controls, the intranet of the regional internet per se.
The internet in China is not the same as the internet in Europe, which is not the same as the internet in Australia, which is not the same as the internet in North America, which is not the same -at all- as the internet that now exists within Russia. Even in some continents, the internet traffic flows are controlled at different levels within each nation. The “world wide web” is a format, but when you get down to the national level, things change.
This baseline helps to understand that internet freedom is defined by access to information and commerce.
To the extent the information or commerce is defined as against the interests of the authority structure, or potentially a threat to the national security interest of the government therein, the internet content is filtered, modified, censored, removed or just simply blocked from view. This is one layer in the information control system.
Another layer is the flow of commerce that floats atop the flow of information. This is where advertising, product sales, purchasing and general e-commerce takes place. This layer represents another option for control; therefore, this e-commerce layer should be considered running in parallel to the information, albeit perhaps indirectly attached.
When western government applied economic sanctions against Russia via financial restrictions writ large, the layer of internet commerce control merged with the information and national security control systems of the internet.
Russian citizens were blocked from e-commerce access, specifically from western nations in alignment with the sanctions, and the mechanisms of online purchasing were restricted. However, the entire world did not participate in the sanctions, and there is a massive amount of e-commerce that takes place, even with the systems of western control financial blocks in place.
Additionally, there is a large black-market system for commerce and financial transactions that started organically in the aftermath of the Russian sanctions. Crypto currency, as a financial transaction mechanism, was predictable; however, over time people became even more strategic and alternate transfer systems were created. You can purchase advertising in Russia, but are you really purchasing advertising – or are the purchasers really just transferring funds? Think about it.
I share that Russia example, because I do not want people to get too disheartened in what is going to happen here in the United States. There will always be a market for information, regardless of the control systems that are created to stop it. Additionally, there will always be smart rebellious people who think of ways to subvert the intents of the control mechanisms. Freedom may be diminished from a raging fire to a small burning flame, but it will never be fully extinguished. WE just need to learn to adapt.
It took me over two years to assemble The Benghazi Brief, because the background story was so large and complex that it took time, research and retrospection to appropriately contextualize the truth of the issue. {GO DEEP} The Benghazi attack was a small, albeit deadly outcome, of a much larger story. The brief walks through everything in context.
In a similar construct, the Shadow banning of The United States internet is a big and complex story, and I am only about halfway through the assembly of all the data to put context to it. However, as time becomes critical, it is important for me to push the information forward – because many of the timelines in the construct are likely to surface before I am complete with the fully assembled story.
I am going to drop some links that will help serve as a flashlight into the rabbit hole. Each story may seem initially disparate or disconnected. However, I would encourage you to think big picture with each of the puzzle pieces that are presented. This is likely to become a series, and I will create a new “Internet” category on the side bar where I will tag any future elements.
Please keep in mind, the issues of e-commerce: ie. information monetization, advertising, deplatforming and debanking, are not disconnected from the issues of information control. The same larger national security system that has mandated (and will mandate), information blocks, content censorship, content restrictions, content removal and various platform control elements, is all part of one interconnected compliance system. Electronic Commerce and Electronic Information are all subject to the online control process. This is a public-private partnership on the internet.
The origin of the public-private partnership goes all the way back to the origin of the tech system in relationship to the DARPA programs and government sponsored research labs. The outcome of the modern partnership is evident in the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) collaboration with the various communication platforms or pipes of information. Systems like the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database, are simply outcomes of the partnership. There are hundreds more.
There is a rush now to provide context because Artificial Intelligence (AI), or smart data systems, are launching into the United States internet control mechanisms almost daily. We are close to the time when AI will be triggered to help control the content of the internet under the guise of national security.
The timeline for full deployment of the modern United States internet control system, is likely around late fall and early winter this year, in advance of the 2024 U.S. election cycle.
Everything will change. Every route of online traffic including Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) to filters and rerouting on Domain Name Systems (DNS), to the Internet Protocol (IP) itself will be subject to change in the form of background shadow banning. If the DHS partnership is successful, you will not initially notice – much like a shadow banned platform user doesn’t notice their new defined status. The shift will become more obvious over time.
One odd outcome will be a regional targeting system. Depending on where you are in the USA, your online experience will be different. There will also be enhancements to your internet travel based on your profile. Good thinking users will have benefits that enhance the experience of the user and supports the interests of the national security guardians.
♦ Deployment of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is irrelevant in this construct. A VPN is like you renting a car without a license plate. You travel past all the Automatic License Plate Readers, arrive at your destination, leave the keys in the ignition and just abandon the car. Your personal travel was essentially invisible to the APLR system. However, when the internet roads are controlled by the national security state, and there is no longer an offramp to the destination, your VPN use is irrelevant – you cannot reach your destination. That’s part of the shift.
You will notice I use the term “definition” quite often. That is because the root of every control mechanism is grounded upon defining things. When you accept the terms ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’, and/or ‘malinformation’, you are buying into the process that permits definitions to determine your travel. Those who define both you and your destination, ultimately control your online experience.
Now, before getting to a recent example of this construct as it is being built, it is important to return to the e-commerce aspect and overlay the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) index into the world of online commerce.
♦ Right now, you can physically boycott Bud Light by choosing another brand. However, for total goods and services the amount of online purchasing is now exceeding the amount of purchasing in real life (brick and mortar shopping). Overlay the economic control system (think Russian sanctions approach) with the national security requirements for DEI, amid all online commerce, and apply that layer of analysis. In the e-commerce world, choosing not to buy Bud Light will become a little more difficult; and those who do support the boycott become subject to the previously mentioned “definitions”.
I’m jumping ahead, because today there was a big development. As you read this, do not think small as presented – think bigger. Think beyond the use of AI moderation on a platform, and think of AI moderation on the U.S. Internet System. Online moderation conducted by AI:
OPEN AI – […] GPT-4 is also able to interpret rules and nuances in long content policy documentation and adapt instantly to policy updates, resulting in more consistent labeling. We believe this offers a more positive vision of the future of digital platforms, where AI can help moderate online traffic.
[…] Content moderation demands meticulous effort, sensitivity, a profound understanding of context, as well as quick adaptation to new use cases, making it both time consuming and challenging. Traditionally, the burden of this task has fallen on human moderators sifting through large amounts of content to filter out toxic and harmful material, supported by smaller vertical-specific machine learning models. The process is inherently slow and can lead to mental stress on human moderators.
We’re exploring the use of LLMs to address these challenges. Our large language models like GPT-4 can understand and generate natural language, making them applicable to content moderation. The models can make moderation judgments based on policy guidelines provided to them. (read more)
Do you remember me telling you about what I noticed in the most recent Google spider crawls?
“The Alpha/Google spiders are not crawling around with their enhanced AI looking for words, phrases or content issues. Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given the spiders the ability to look for context. The new Alpha/Goog AI spiders are crawling the internet looking for information provided with a detrimental and accurate context. Those who are applying truthful context are the subversive voices that must be targeted. Keep this in mind.”
I can get in big trouble for sharing this next graphic, but f**kit… I’m all in.
Google Spider Crawl Result, CTH Subversive Content, July 2023
As we have shared, the crawl is not headlines, the crawl is in content. Yes, even content in the comment section is now flagging to the control systems. Why? Because we operate a proprietary constructed private commenting system that doesn’t have a backdoor and protects you, the user.
The Google Spiders are newly enhanced with AI instructions, dispatched looking for content and ‘context’ that is against the interests of the Vanguard, Blackrock, Larry Page (Alpha/Goog owners), and the public-private partnership.
Look at the one I have highlighted above titled “Have you ever noticed this.” Do you remember it? [Reminder Here] This content is considered “dangerous or derogatory”. Think about that for a moment. Discussing the humor of Donald Trump, and the fellowship it creates, is considered “dangerous” to the interests of Google.
Do not get alarmed, get informed.
I share this information with you so that you understand what is being constructed and what is about to be deployed on a large scale throughout the U.S. internet operating system. The U.S. internet will be different. The social media restrictions became more prevalent and noticeable in the past several years; now it is time for DHS to expand that process to the entire U.S. internet.
When I wrote about Jack’s Magic Coffee shop, people initially thought I was crazy – but the guys inside the coffee shop didn’t. Eventually DHS control over Twitter was revealed in the Twitter files. The same background is true here. The entire American online apparatus is going to change.
More will follow….

I watched the is earlier today.
One helluva detailed description of how the DS, MIC, and IC work with Big Tech and social media.
To me, it was Tucker’s best interview yet.
Breathtaking!
Totally agree. This is must-see TV. Explained in such a way that anyone can understand it. I had no idea, I had some idea but not to this extent. We really are fu%ked.
Precisely how I felt. A few things I hadn’t even thought about.
Towards the end, Benz said something about Elon, that I had never heard anyone say before,…to the effect that the Fed Gummint is TOO dependant on him, in several different ventures, for them to just shut him down, hence they are napplying pressure, but not a sledge hammer.
This may be why we are all confused, “what color hat does he wear?” with Space “X” he is essential, for low orbit satelites, with tesla fir their “green energy b.s.”, etc.
So, he is doing things like giving Tucker a forum, and they are still using back doors to do some censoring,..its a battle in which the gummint can’t go all out, but neither can elon. Too much interdependance?
I just have trouble reconciling one man (Musk) being allowed to have power over these Intel agencies. It is a symbiotic relationship that was only allowed to occur because he was funded by the government. So now he’s supposedly a potential threat to the very entities that empowered him through contracts and financial support in the first place??? Hmmmm
🎯
Osama Bin Laden was an ally of the US Intel/Military against “our supposed enemies” until he was not. Then he became enemy #1.
See how it works?
Exactly
MAGA Minuteman: Yup. Osama. Saddam. Kaddafi. Also, Epstein, for different purposes.
Manuel Noriega.
Ask Diem
Exactly Lorrie. It is Kabuki Theater. Elon is really your friend? Elon is in the big club and we are not.
A friend of mine has a powerful Congressional Committee Chairman representing him. The Congress person talks a great MAGA game, says he is being investigated by the powers that be. But the Congress person voted for the new FBI building and voted to keep McCarthy. They are not on our side.
Elon Musk is putting up the starlink network which will surveil people even in the Deep Countryside. Elon is also developing the neural implant chip.
“So now he’s supposedly a potential threat to the very entities that empowered him through contracts and financial support in the first place???”
Correct, just as the entire CIA and DARPA funded internet and social media once used “to bring democracy” to other countries (actually attempts to bring the “velvet glove” model of Western oligarchical control with the illusion of voter control [see the 2014 Princeton study] to replace tyrannical “armored glove” oligarchies… in most cases) has become a “blowback” (as the CIA would call it) machine that is backfiring on them.
Now, they’re trying to use it, beyond as described in that OUTSTANDING interview, thusly:

PsyWars: Fifth Generation Warfare and Sovereignty
Molding, controlling, and capturing your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are the objectives.
ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
FEB 3, 2023
https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/psywars-fifth-generation-warfare
“Over the last three years, Western governments, non-governmental organizations, transnational organizations, pharmaceutical industry corporations, media and financial corporations have cooperated via public-private partnerships, which I assert is a euphemism for fascism, to deploy the most massive globally harmonized, psychological, and propaganda operation in the history of the world. Over the last three years, you have been subjected to the most massive harmonized, globally coordinated propaganda campaign in the history of the Western world, full stop.
My mouth is getting dry talking about these things. I do feel a little passionate. With this campaign, the governments of many Western nation states have turned, okay, this is key, military-grade, psychological operations, strategies, tactics, technologies, and capabilities developed for modern military combat against their own citizens. These are inconvenient facts. The world that many of us believed existed no longer exists if it ever did.“
Flynn released a book last year on 5G warfare last year that was good also.
Remember one thing; Donald Trump was “in the club” for years, until he wasn’t. Was he ever really? Or was he watching and waiting and learning?
Trump was their friend, and now he’s their enemy. The same may be true for Elon Musk.
I don’t believe that for one minute. “They” attacked him right from the get-go.
It depends upon the meaning of “in the club”, but don’t put your blinders on BK.
He walked around the edge of the pool and peered in. He rubbed elbows with them, went to parties with them, they went to his parties. He sat over cocktails with them and dinners.
That involvement doesn’t mean he ever dove into the pool – but he was definitely around it.
Aubergine: PDJT was never in the The Club™.
Lorrie Girten: You are right to have trouble reconiciling. To continue with the accounting metaphor, the books will never balance, because there are two (or more) sets of books, and the numbers are fudged. It’s all subterfuge. All of it.
Spot on Lorrie. Anyone that endangers them has big problems. Example: President Trump.
Could you not say the same thing of Microsoft?
Yes!
Bill Gates is and has been involved with the government and WEF for years. Think vaccines.
Connect the dots.
Yes.
Microsoft, Google, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter. Even Amazon.
Facebook is roughly 20 years old. The others are of similar age. These are simply the newest form of communication. With them comes the newest form of control.
Prior to that we had TV. If you look back into the history of TV, the heads of all three major networks were retired Military officers.
Prior to that we had movies and radio.
Now think about Operation Mockingbird. It’s been a control game all along. Just in different forms.
Think about that when you were a kid and all you wanted was a Red Ryder BB gun with a compass on the stock and this thing that tells time.
From your home you received the encrypted message over the radio that you decoded with your Roy Rogers decoder pen. “Always drink your Ovaltine.” Son of a Bitch, a crummy commercial.
Nothing new, just in a different form. The only difference is the sheep are waking up and the control mechanisms are getting exposed. The sheep herder is running out of options. He’s losing control of the herd.
Correct. CIA funded Amazon Cloud.
Good point. And sundance educated us about using Amazon as any sort of platform years ago when he hardened his site.
As of this moment I would like to know which social media sites do use an Amazon platform… but unaware how to figure that out.
I think Discus does? There’s a fledgling site I’ve visited recently (it was mentioned by someone here) that attempts to crowd-source the wokeness of movies and tv – a great idea (they’re called notwokeshows dot com). But they use Discus for discussion, so I haven’t joined that part of it..
I see Musk as the face of the machine. If an accident were to befall him, the machine would continue on and eventually get a new face. I use the word accident as a euphemism.
Very plausible.
I agree with every one of your observations but I err towards Elon being a black hat for two reasons:
Better to be safe than sorry;
Neuralink – the ultimate control tool over a person’s mind.
Exactly, and his Baphomet Halloween costume was a dead giveaway to his allegiance.
I watched the entire interview. It scares me no end.
It serves as a reminder that the US Government is at total war with the United States citizenry.
Anything that is “a threat to democracy “ I am for! This is a representative republic! Our founders would agree! If you read the Federalist Papers you would see for yourself.
It is also a democracy… as we don’t live in a monarchy or theocracy. The way our Government functions is as a Constitutional Republic.
I posted this earlier on the PT, in case you missed it. I know Sundance has covered Pegasus before. Slainte

They are censoring anything political that doesn’t fit their agenda.
I’ve been flagged for hate speech on instagram 4 times in one instance within an hour for just saying the word woman in a sentence.
Then Instagram limits your posts, communication and shadowbans your comments, meaning they don’t even show up for others, but you think they are showing because your account shows the comments.
I had that happen several times when I was discussing “cast iron” cookware of all things! Every time I mentioned “cast iron” they informed me immediately that my post was removed because it went against COMMUNITY GUIDELINES.
Crazy
The question is “why?”
Is it that they don’t wish people to use healthy cast iron cookware and prefer they use cookware coating with God knows what?
Is it that their auto-censorship is confusing ‘cast’ with ‘caste’ and they don’t want discussions of classes and castes?
Is it that there is a secret program called “cast iron”?
WHY is that term triggering the response?
Nonsense like that may trigger that Law of Unintended Consequences prematurely for them.
Control freaks always go way overboard. And the devils dreaming up this devilry function in a sick bubble (love that Mike Benz calls it “the blob”) that never understands the way normal people think.
Interesting. Will probably get worse.
Some thoughts to temper the conversation a bit. The intent is not to cast a shadow on the overarching meme of gov’t over-reach in the information/digital domain. I lived over a quarter century of my professional life in the IT world – the picture being framed is certainly one target destination. But one should not miss out on the details…which feather from more than just high/low voltage bits.
Obama was certainly the alembic for morphing a system-of-systems with a history reaching back to at least WWII into a weaponized capability: through structural changes in the decision-making arm of gov’t (not actual technology). This sets the problem space in a slightly different aspect. There was a natural organic growth to all of this that predates Obama by decades.
The compact version:
Current technical capabilities were largely envisioned to some degree of detail well over 50-60 years ago. Moore’s Law and industrial capabilities (e.g., chip lithography) take time. Artificial intelligence, which at it’s upper reaches is exceedingly complex, took decades and decades to evolve (interestingly, it is still built upon an edifice of comparatively basic math). Tech transition to scale has always been a bumpy, time consuming road to travel.
Specific technologies central to information controls have also been written about or innovated going back decades. A key example is virtualization.
IT, like any field, required standardization in order to deliver stability, interoperability and scale (which can also be interpreted as market volume; i.e., one hook). Various rule making bodies were established (e.g., RFC community) to produce these technical rules of the road. It’s been a forever repeatng pattern in IT: new capabilities, first to market, need for standardization (rather than expensive adapters) as capability providers expand. The protocols and architecture that underlie the Internet were entangled in a DNA-like analogue with the standards making communities. Software and architecture being what they are (and, realistically, hardware also), a hugely complex but inherently flawed system-of-systems has evolved. It’s not perfect and never will be. This has obvious implications for control tools; or, as IT wonks and their PMs like to say, “management tools”.
One of the dirty secrets of IT, IMO, is that it takes several armies of labor to plan it, design it, get it funded, implement it, test it, operate it, monitor it, restore it when attacked, and dispose of it. Lagging behind all of this and reaching into multiple other domains is the soon to be equally huge armies needed to collect, transform, organize, process and dispose of data. Huge…..Huge….huge problem as this control meme is deployed. This dovetails into our educational “feeders”, training facilities, budgets, leadership stability system-of-system linkages. Ask anyone who has had to this over the last 30 years and an honest answer is “near impossible….we look for good enough and make due with our budget and people constraints”. AI might change that somewhat – at the margins I suspect – but not in any final sense. We shall see.
This implicit notion of a unified management class doesn’t reconcile well with my experience. Yes it exists as embodied in structural and hiring practices Sundance has outlined in depth. But my experience at multiple commands stretching across gov’t, intel, military, corporate worker bee, Service secretary level, DoD-wide tech teams, and other branches in the tree, is that there is a huge amount of infighting and parochial interests when it gets down to sitting all the voices around the table to forge consensus decisions. There are all sorts of semi-independent fiefdoms in the IT world. Very often strong egos controlling private agendas, power couples, corporate wanna-bes when the current mil/civ job exhausts its promotion potential, as well as the residual mass that reach their level of competence but remain entrenched for years. This all leads to way less than optimal compromises. A good or bad thing depending upon one’s perspective.
It’s easy to get lost in the doomsday scenario, but very hard to research and understand all the dimensions of the problem space. AI is a perfect example. I don’t doubt for a second the money making and productivity enhancements it portends. Generative AI is at one and the same fascinating and very scary. Again…the proverbial but. I do not profess any developed expertise in math, but, there is enough helpful literature out there to recognize a few emerging traits of AI. While it is built on basic math tools (matrices, linear algebra, differential calculus, adaptive functions like S curves, cost gradients), it sits on a huge morass of nodes, layers and links working in parallel (i.e., complex beyond any formal mathematical description that can be solved n near real-time). It employs statistical tools that have been around for a long time – it does not define truth; it employs many short-cuts to simplify what would otherwise be far too complex math solution spaces; it has its own bias terms; it has learning algorithms that differ among instantiations of the core terminology (back propagation); it is, at heart, a self-correcting probability model. The model aspect of this is clearly important. Without going overboard here, working in spaces beyond three dimensions for minima/maxima (or classification) bring in all sorts of bias trade-offs. This is a key area though it was conflated with a different problem in the famous Google firing – some may recall the lady hired to ensure that there wasn’t racial bias in Google’s algorithms was eventually fired.
Data management can’t be over-emphasized. The information management aspect of this has also been around a long time. I recall the popularizing in the 90s of the need for dense “metadata” describing every information object of interest to some decision-making process as a key technical need (especially cybersecurity). One might be tempted to call this “context” these days! Point is that this evolution was already occurring. While I don’t have the facts at the ready as I did back in the day, it is my educated guess that the key problems of labelling all older data, creating enough storage space for all data objects (new and old) in the system, processing/analyzing it all in a timely fashion is and remains an impossible problem; the velocity, volume, variety challenge.
It should be evident that data and data state (sensing, detecting, interpreting, encoding, semantics, storing, cleaning, processing, sensitivity management, availability, etc.) is an immensely challenging problem. It is also hugely resource intensive (take a look at power grid use in, say, the B-More region some time). It can’t be done to every last bit of information in the system-of-systems…my opinion of course. An dthat forces a reconsideration of both what it can cover and its gaps. Obvious conflicts with other gov’t long-term policies are also at work here.
I could march on with a lengthy list of other qualifiers. The important point is that every Goliath has its vulnerabilities; every Achilles has his heel. It’s not a “one and done” dilemma. The technology is there and it will follow its course from the tributaries back to the ocean no matter what arbitrary barriers are placed in its path.
Technology is not the only player. There are many angles for looking at all of this. There are many paths forward.
Great points here!
I learned a (very) little about at least one attempt to define everything with metadata years ago in my tech documentation career. The vehicle we worked with was a scripting language called XML, a step beyond HTML.
At the time, in my ignorance of the greater picture, I thought of XML simply as an enhanced tool for labeling words with their meaning. For example, one could define all words describing types of fish to be in a discoverable category, rather than HTML that could only define the way a word should be presented visually (the simplest being bold, italic, that sort of thing).
One can also easily imagine all such coding to be a level of complexity much more difficult with which to achieve useful results (does “bass” mean a fish or a musical instrument?). Thus, your comment about the yuuuge data storage needed and that pesky factor of unintended consequences…
…all of which may help us in as yet unforeseen ways…
And in that simple fact, I see hopeful ideas in your comment…
Just watched. Wow, just wow. So much is starting to make sense. This is a must watch.
“What I’m describing is military rule,” says Mike Benz. “It’s the inversion of democracy.”
Maybe the Founding Fathers were on to something.
There are instruments so dangerous to the rights of the nation, and which place them so totally at the mercy of their governors, that those governors, whether legislative or executive, should be restrained from keeping such instruments on foot, but in well-defined cases. Such an instrument is a standing army.
– Thomas Jefferson
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe. A standing military force, with an overgrown executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.
– James Madison
Except the threat is not from the soldiers, sailors, marines, or air crews. A “standing army” isn’t the problem here.
It’s the DARPA / research arms and other non-combat / intel parts of the military behemoth. It’s the giant administrative / technology blob that was created under the guise of “defense”….
Eisenhower was right about the technocratic elite as well.
👍👍👽
Eisenhower also warned us about the medical industrial complex! The World Health Organization if it’s treaty is accepted by a nation will then rule that Nation simply by declaring an alleged emergency of Public Health.
So, rather than a “standing army” its a SITTING army of nerds, working at computer screens,…hacking away at our liberties,…
instead of being forced to quarter troops, we are letting these hackers into our LIVES, monitoring and controlling our thoughts, words and what we purchase…
The far left, brainwashed nerds.
Look at the absurd lawfare nerds. They are inept and corrupt. Yet the judiciary is so compromised that any buffoonish antic they pull is encouraged and rewarded. There are no legitimate challenges because our courts are merely theater. Lady Justice is a hostage. Actually, I’m not certain they haven’t assassinated her already. ⚖️
I am a nerd and they have a long way to go before I am brain washed by them.
Maybe. You might be brainwashed and never realize it.
dutchman: Do you mean like this? From it’s a National Security threat to it’s For the Safety of Others.
https://phys.org/news/2024-02-americans-deny-climate-real-ai.html ” Using social media data and artificial intelligence, a new University of Michigan-led study reveals that nearly 15% of Americans deny that climate change is real. The study is also believed to be the first to identify which individuals on X are influential in shaping belief or denial of climate change and to what extent. Although there’s a broad awareness of the fact that social media users like Trump can be influential, it was striking just how influential a role some individuals play in shaping and cementing public opinion on crucial issues such as climate change. “The information revealed in this study provides a basis for developing strategies to counter this knowledge vulnerability and reduce the spread of mis- or disinformation by identifying the communities most at risk of not adopting measures to increase resilience to the effects of climate change,” Newell said. “We learned that a relatively small number of individuals are highly influential in spreading misinformation about climate change. For the safety of others, these companies(social media) should consider developing similar policies to limit the spread of climate change misinformation.”
Wood Elf: The authors of the study you cite know darn well that the premise of their “study” is nonsense, because no one has ever denied that the climate changes. The authors also know that to win federal grants, they have to go along with the nonsense. Academics cannot win federal grants by refuting the very foundations of FedGov policy. If FedGov says there is “climate change,” then, by golly, your grant application must support the “climate change” agenda, or, no money for you!
Yep, that’s pretty much the situation at the moment.
How we use electricity in our homes and to what purpose. Is not that part of the privacy of our domicile and the constitutional protections related thereto? This notion of “being forced to quarter troops” in some ways extends to the infiltration of paid adversaries infiltrating our privacy as agents of other parties with the intent to violate our constitutional protections and to criminalize innocent and reasonable exercise of free will in the privacy of our homes.
Physically, the internet is a quality of electricity coming into our homes, but in ways and with alien purposes that are unbargained for or otherwise undisclosed or arising from what is essentially a plot to evade and thwart our informed consent or otherwise subject us to deceptive acts and practices against our interests.
Every advance in technology impacts the warp and waft of our constitutional rights and challenges the mutual preservation of our individual privacy.
In large part, what enters the privacy of our homes comes with our permission or request. But what occurs in our homes; are not there novel privacy issues to consider consistent with the degree of technology disruption and challenges antagonistic to our private lives that should not be unreasonably criminalized, or monetized against our will or without our specific knowledge or consent that appropriate our privacy in a unilateral and involuntary way to the economic benefit of intruders monetizing our privacy?
Technology has a way of unsettling settled law. Thanks, Dutchman. Thanks for casting fresh light on this.
The key to counter all control is critical thinking and self sufficiency. It further helps to severely limit your exposure to their propaganda and curate good sources (which no matter how good you think the source is, needs to be cross-checked, sifted through, compared to the opposing views, and have critical thinking applied to the information).
Harrison: Thus, our educational system is designed to discourage critical thinking and prevent self sufficiency. Our educational system promotes a hive mentality, to support the collective. This runs 180 degrees opposite the way I was educated, but, I’m the child of another time.
Agree 100%.
I lay a significant portion of the blame at the feet of parents as well. Children whom are given the tools and training at home can resist the indoctrination and propaganda attempts of schools – however it requires active and involved parenting. If I were to have young children in today’s world, they would most definitely be home schooled at least till high school – and likely beyond.
dutchman: Yes! The sitting army. Perfect.
Hmmm….that doesn’t appear to be a common problem at CTH!!!
At least I read quite a bit of independent thought here.
When push comes to shove, it’s humans with. guns who are the enforcers, be they army or law enforcement or whatever. If they unflinchingly follow their unified chain of command and that chain operates on instructions and scenarios forwarded from the IC, then it’s healthy to view those humans as extensions of the IC and their missions.
What kept the Germans in line in the 30’s? Some were zealots, sure, but many were kept in line by fear of the SS and Gestapo and, by extension, their control of the local police agencies. We can examine the Soviet Union and Communist China for parallels.
Expect it here. It’s been happening for a while now. Fear is being managed. That’s how people are controlled.
Yes. Tyrannical governments always force their demands onto the populace via armed forces, be they secret police, regular police, or in our country, the FBI (armed enforcement for the DOJ) and the DHS agents (armed domestic enforcement for the Executive).
So we should not shy away from asserting anytime the word “democracy “ comes up, that the United States is no longer a democratic Federal Republic but is instead transitioning into a Fascist Oligarchy with an Executive Branch, Parliament, Judiciary, and national media industry all selected (using a carefully controlled superficial illusion of citizen voting) and controlled by the Oligarchs, and using selected parts of the Constitution only when politically advantageous for the rulers. The transition is well into eliminating the First and Fourth Amendments, while developing schemes to replace the Second and 10th Amendments and all others that place restrictions on federal government.
You could just say “government agencies and pawns” 😉 (For example the IRS and BLM)
I recently watched an old movie called ‘Conspiracy‘ (2001) which in part chronicled how the Nazis morphed law to enact the ‘final solution’ with the Jews, a little at a time, instilling fear through ‘legal’ means long before the actual showers and ovens fired up.
The SS was singled out and, even allowing for some western propaganda, the methodologies were realistic and workable. I saw many parallels to what’s happening here today.
Good flick. Kenneth Branaugh was excellent IMO.
I saw that movie many years ago. Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth star in it as well. It is a very sinister plot, and a tough-to-absorb story that was as close to actual historical events as the script writers could determine through old records of the original meeting.
Dunes2021: Yes, good film. The Nazis re-wrote their laws to make their own tyrannical practices legal.
Reminds me of the terrorist/Hamas, Fatah Arab groups trying to set up a new Palestinian state within Israel (in Samaria, West Bank and Gaza) who are scheduling meetings with Blinken. Israel is NOT included in their planning.
If interested, see The Caroline Glick Show on YT. She is a truth teller. So MANY are not! This is another holocaust scenario for the Jews of Israel. And our government is supporting it!!!!
This. The J6 political prisoners are only the first. Eventually, dissent has to be physically squelched. The Nazis started small, separating small factions from the herd, selective prosecutions, jailings, censorship, public groups abolished. This phase went quick there, more slowly here, but it’s happening.
France and Germany are passing laws to fine and imprison dissenters. In Germany it is anyone who “mocks” the government. In France it is anyone who speaks against the government directed edict on medical issues like mRNA injections.
In the US it is J6ers, people against abortions, people for traditional Catholic masses, parents against the mutilation of their children, people against big pharma, people against Biden – well, basically anyone against anything that the powers that be are for.
I say MOCK and LOAD!
Dunes2021: Plus, in pre-war Germany, the Nazis basically eliminated private ownership of firearms. The US Gun Control Act of 1968 used the language of 1930s era Nazi gun control laws as a template.
GB Bari: Exactly. Same situation throughout FedGov and also, academia: Vast armies of bureacrats and administrators with too much (printed) money to spend. The end result is always accumulation of power and consolidation of control. This is the fundamental nature of large organizations.
But, they are still part of the standing army. If there wasn’t one, these other parts would not be present at the level that they are now.
Thanks Sundance. Get very little news from anywhere but here. Have been successful in blocking nearly all advertising etc and only comment here
There are a few Youtube channels that I watch, but I have ditched the faux news.
I think, based on revenue, viewership metrics, and influence that a great many Americans have, in fact “cut the cord” and are no longer connecting to and so influenced by msm.
WE are MANY!
That’s the thing though, we have so few sources of information now. Yes, I’ve cut the cord and rejected the MSM propaganda. But now, I have little source for news, even false news. It’s a quandary. It puts us on our back foot. This must be part of their master plan, that we become ignorant, disorganized and cowed to passivity.
There are thousands of independent sources of information via blogs, substack, youtube, rumble, bitchute, telegram, and many others.
Even web-based “MSM” can be sources of information as long as you are able to discern truth vs propaganda and sift through it for kernels of information.
I keep up with the Communists through their MSM consolidator Yahoo. It’s easy to scroll through a few hundred headlines to get a lay of the land and pick a few to do deeper dives into.
Remember that American working in Japan to demoralize the troops during the war? She died an old woman warm in her bed in Chicago decades after the war. She was one of numerous ‘Tokyo Rose’ characters dispensing propaganda. The troops still listened to it for the entertainment value while killing Japanese.
Stay on mission. Don’t be deterred by propaganda. Embrace it. Digest it in a way which minimizes any support of the enemy.
The Communists are the enemy. Keep it simple 🙂
If you’re not already familiar with Rumble and Bitchute, you’re in for a treat. Both platforms are chock full of pro-MAGA news commentary with many live streaming shows by various independent journalists and commentators. Rumble has far more streaming shows that are recorded and viewable after the live session is completed.
I expect that YouTube will soon start more intensively restricting and censoring videos that carry points of view that dissent from and disagree with the Globalist oligarch-controlled Deep State’s agenda and preferred narratives.
I tried to transition from YouTube to Rumble but was unable to find a way to clean up my home page on rumble. On YT I can just click on “not interested” so that they stop suggesting junk that I do not even want to look at.
On my Rumble home page it is full of rap songs, gamer stuff, NBA, cartoon-y stuff, and all other sorts of pop culture yuck.
I tried to find a way to click on a “not interested” button but found none. So I am back on YT with my peaceful home screen and suggestions that match my interests.
Don’t use YOUR ‘home page’ to curate your sources – use a list of SOURCES ‘home pages’ – make a folder in the browser of your choice with links to them – then scan through them periodically.
You can also read the daily Presidential threads here and go through the list of articles on places like CFP and Discern.
Rumble can be controlled by subscribing to a bunch of “favorite channels” then, when you first log in (you need to join – it’s free), you can simply click on “My Feed” and you get suggestions that are based on your subscriptions and most liked videos. It takes a few days of watching, “liking” and subscribing to refine your Feed. And you Feed gets more refined as you go along. I get almost nothing in my feed that is outside of my preferences.
I like it because there are fewer ads and very little, if any, censorship.
You also can get email notifications from favorite subscribed channels to see their latest video. I get a bunch of notices every day but don’t always go and watch – I just delete the emails.
I had signed up to Rumble when it first started, in order to comment. Then I went to login one day to comment on a video and they had changed their policy, wanting personal information like a phone number. I simply closed the page and moved on. Hence my alternate method above for tracking favored sources there.
IDK.. I signed up in Sept. 2020 and provided my cell number for verification. Since that one time, I’ve never received any text or calls from them. Bongino is invested in them and he is big on privacy of information.
The only ones who constantly hit my cell phone are the damn GOPe grifters looking for donations using “strongly worded” emails. But they all get reported as Junk and deleted.
Appreciate the update, but it isn’t concern for spam from them. It is mainly privacy, but also anti-identity theft (hackers break into everything large).
Just an FYI, Dan can be as big of a privacy advocate as he wishes – but as twitter found out, a subpoena for “all users who did x or y” can come at any moment in time and as countless large companies have found out, systems can be hacked at any time.
The DC fascists don’t need your name from an app registration log to identify you via online activity. And crook hackers don’t serve you subpoenas. I respect a persons desire for privacy, but If they’re that worried, why would they be posting on this or any site? (that’s only rhetorical).
Growing pains – Rumble is much better today than a year ago.
That’s where I watch what’s happening in Israel. See the Caroline Glick show on YT for what the assembling of various terrorist supporters are going to try to shove down the throats of Israelis vis a vis a NEW Palestinian Pestential State inside Israel. Oh, it’s real, alright! Blinken is among them, spewing that the Gazans are the Americans!!
Speaking of internet control, banning news and information, how many people knew that Caroline Glick was here in the US last week, visiting Congressmen and Senators? She is a reliable source about what is going in Israel and what is being planned by TPTB against them.
“It took me over two years to assemble The Benghazi Brief, because the background story was so large and complex that it took time, research and retrospection to appropriately contextualize the truth of the issue. {GO DEEP} The Benghazi attack was a small, albeit deadly outcome, of a much larger story. The brief walks through everything in context.”
http://shoebat.com/2014/04/09/cia-involved-benghazi-attack/
It has been learned that one week prior to the Benghazi attacks that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, CIA Director David Petraeus met with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan. This finding, reported by Hurrieyt at the time, further bolsters brand new claims by Seymour M. Hersh, the man who broke the Abu Ghraib prison scandal story in 2004.
In early 2012, the Obama administration, along with the administration of Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reached an agreement that would have Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia provide funding for an operation run by then CIA Director David Petraeus (the Petraeus Operation). The purpose of the operation, carried out by the CIA and Great Britain’s MI6, was to move weapons from Libya into Syria, using back channel ‘rat lines’.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who’d recently met with the House Intelligence Committee just days prior to this death, met with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin within two hours of the attack.
Last year, after outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified in front of a Senate Committee about Benghazi, Boehner appeared on a radio show one day later and admitted to having knowledge about weapons being shipped to Turkey:
If Boehner had classified information about weapons being shipped to Syria from Libya, via Turkey as far back as January of last year, how long before that did he know about it? Despite a majority of House Republicans who are calling for a Select Committee to investigate what happened in Benghazi, Boehner continues to refuse to appoint one. It stands to reason that if Boehner knew what was going on in Benghazi prior to the attacks, he wouldn’t want the truth about Benghazi to come out now….
If the U.S. presence in Benghazi was about arming Syrian jihadists through Turkey, countless innocent Christian lives have been ended as a result. Any member of Congress who knew that before the September 11th attacks in Benghazi has blood on his hands and any member of Congress who continues to remain silent about it is complicit in war crimes [the war crimes of Obama, Clinton and Petraeus being covered up with the help of John Boehner].
Another diversion/distraction from the subject of the post which is government sponsored censorship.
And earlier today at 2:43 on the Tucker post, the CIA and IC were not smart enough to pull something like this off and I gave them to much credit.
Long day, huh?🤔
They can’t block everything.
You know the disdain I hold for AI, I am confident we will be able to outsmart computers,..inncluding these new AI Content crawling spiders,…analogies, metaphores, allegories will drive them crazy, lol.
And, recall A2,..? She was posting comments on CTH, highly critical of CCP and Xi, from inside mainland China, and Hong Kong at one point when she went over to see first hand what the protesters were doing.
We may have to get clever, but they will never entirely shut down communication, without shutting down the I-net, and THEY lose too much, if that happens.
They can’t make a spelling correction that cares about context. Or grammar rules.
They must be doing something different and passing it off as AI that can do it.
Also, what little experience I have had with computers ‘learning ‘, first their accuracy improves, then over time it starts to drop. And that was with hard science. Not fuzzy human thinking.
True, more time has passed and programmers are always improving. But I just don’t see anything like that happening.
I was trying to remember the moniker of that Treeper who always had great observations about China and far East happenings. A2 is the one. I miss his/her posts.
Lol, Thanks for a laugh in the midst of these terrible revelations..
Thanks for posting. You always cover the board!

On the local scale do these things to protect your privacy from Big Tech.
1) Get rid of every Apple device you own. Apple scans ALL content on all it’s devices! iPhones and iPads can not be turned off. They transmit tracking signals at all times.
2) Get rid of all Android phones because Google can learn everything about your habits.
3) Buy a Google Pixel phone and Google Pixel tablet and install the privacy operating system CalyxOS. Have your nerdy kid or neighbor do the install.
I hate the people behind google more than the people behind apple. Although, I believe you.
Apple is much better and protects your privacy. The IPhone is 90% of their business. If they screw that up it’s over for them!
I have used nothing but Apple products for the last decade. Two days ago, my Windows laptop I ordered to configure my cam system as it would only work on a windows machine arrived in the mail. I went to “Edge” as that was required for the cam plugin, and after installing, I typed “thec” and theconservativetreehouse came up in the drop down which surprised me. “Theg”got me Gateway Pundit. I started typing random letters and noticed that the drop downs only contained places that I visit. From that, I surmised that apple must have sent my browsing history to some place that Microsoft utilizes as well. It was as if I had been using that machine for the last decade as opposed to Apple. Also the ads were of things I had recently purchased. How did the brand new Windows machine know me so well? I do not use google on my Apple devices, but google is obviously still getting my data through gmail I suppose. I do use gmail to sign up for things to receive junk mail that I do not check, but actually use protonmail for email. It was stunning to me that my new Windoze machine behaved as if it had been used for the last decade as opposed to a completely different OS. 😉
You are highly deceived in regards to Apple…
“Privacy guy” Rob Braxman (on Rumble & “blowtube”) de-googles a few other phones, as well as VPN and e-mail services.
He also sells his own brand of phone, Brax2, which is devoid of “Gargle” services.
Anyone know anything about Sunbeam “dumb” flip phones? Have been looking into getting one, but not
much info other than the website.
Thanks for any information.
Have learned quite a bit from watching Braxman on Rumble.
Flip phones break too easy.
I had to stop using my old Motorola industrial flip phone because Verizon stopped supporting the old tri-band software in my area. Phone still powers up and sees the towers some 20 years after it was built. I used it for about ten of those. Beast.
New stuff, IDK. Seems to be much more cheaply made, from pulling them apart to change batteries. That old Moto though, it was built to replace the battery. Pop the cover off, snap out old, snap in new, done in a minute 🙂
I know the exact kind you are talking about – they were indeed tanks – and small.
There are some now that are similar (waterproof even), but about 2x the size.
I use my old Apple laptops, and Android phone, for stuff I want the enemy to peer at, like this. Think rabbit to the fox. Attractive meal. 🙂
Uh…get rid of a Google product and buy another Google product?
Look at the Apple logo. It’s actually a Storm Trooper helmet with the visor raised.
The Android bot has become much more authoritarian over time. I had the first android and it was amazing. Google bricked my Pixle4 with an OTA update. Sent it back and never saw the phone again.
Pixel hardware is designed and built by Google. Believing there is not back door access is naïve.
Moving to Samsung from Apple products now. Not sure there is a good option..
Samsung products cannot be “de-Googled” by replacing factory Samsung OS with pure open source (like Linux for computers) Android OS.
Intelligence Agencies ‘Have Six Ways From Sunday Of Getting Back At You’
When schumah made that statement warning President Trump of the 4th branch of govt, Amercans should have taken notice of the shape of things to come. With AI on the rise, it should now read “seven ways to Sunday”.
With the advent of digital currency, digital IDs, digital ballots, and digital propaganda, the ways the govt can make your lives miserable will be endless for we the incorrigibles.
They have to actually institute digital currencies and biometric, universal i.d.’s, and like carbon credits I think they are globullusts hopium, and will never be made workable, a fantasy.
FYI Dutch – they have already fielded and tested all 3 and they are far from ‘hopium’ as far as their abilities to operate and do exactly what they wish with them.
They are only waiting for the proper “crisis” to deploy them, which is why it’s so important to work at the local and state level to outlaw them.
What’s shocking to me is the UTTER lack of of sophistication of 90% of the population who has hardly a clue that this is happening.
The implications are staggering, and yet, we have an airhead nation.
The inability to see evil, or pretend not to see it.
Willful ignorance.
And 1/2 the population at least, horrible gaslit into oblivion.
All by deliberate design.
We are all Cassandra now.
Such is the curse, to be prophetic and not be believed until it’s too late.

I’m stunned! I watched the entire video and very impressed with Mike Benz and his investigation.
What I didn’t hear is what is being done to put an end to the what looks like the US Military and NATO running the United States!
Kind of gives a whole new perspective to Trump’s jabs at NATO.
Pat Buchanan has been saying for decades that NATO should have been disbanded when the native Russian Orthodox Christians took back their nation and collapsed the Globalist-Liberal mass murdering Soviet Union and disbanded the Warsaw Pact
“Buchanan chastised members of both parties –
especially the Republicans’ – for being
braying donkeys of interventionism.’ He said the United States should apologize to Russia for the
double-cross’ of expanding NATO into central Europe.And, he said, the West today is making the same mistakes in Europe that he wrote about in a new book,
A Republic, Not an Empire.’
We are repeating the errors that led to World War II, and for heaven’s sake, stop it before World War III,’ Buchanan said on
Fox News Sunday.'”

As far as VPN and other methods go – if the internet facing gateway is in an area of the globe that isn’t censored then there will be a greater degree of visibility. Of course, that won’t help with sites that are masked. It may be time to think about establishing an .onion interface.
Where in the world is there no censorship?
Many places Liz – the real question is “censorship of WHAT?”
If I go outside of Sundance’s yellow shaded world, there is no censorship of what occurs inside it for example. What is not censored in one country often are those things from another country – and the censorship is only concerning news about themselves. And so it goes… Then there are (at least for now) multiple sites where the censorship of content and discussion doesn’t exist. Rumble, Bitchute, even here in these forums.
Bottom line, the world is no longer unipolar, but multi-faceted. Learn how to navigate its facets.
They are trying to break our minds. Don’t play the game.
What’s truly amazing is these people have been consistently wrong about every issue they want to censor and defeat :
A: The Russian Collusion Hoax
B: White Supremacist Hoax
C: Covid-19 Origin
D: Covid-19 Vaccine Safety
E: Ukraine War Predicate
F: Russian Sanctions
G: Ukrainian Victory
H: Climate Change Hoax
I: President Trump
You would think that Chertoff and the others would realize that free American thought and discourse have been right on every single issue while the Atlantic Council has been wrong!
These 2 had been shipped into Bosnia via Op Cyclone II to murder Serbs & Abdics secular Bosnian Muslims. Add 9/11 to the list. 9/11 hijackers revealed as CIA recruits. Intell once again.
Propaganda is about pushing Lies. The bigger the better.
Censorship is about banning truth.
Once we understand that, we can understand that the need to Lie to get what you want precedes the propaganda and the censorship.
And historically, as well as today, the thing they want, is to enslave and control the people.
As Jesus said, the truth will set us free.
And as Marques says, the Deep Stare must be destroyed.
“The Derp State”
As Pogo once said: “We have met the enemy, and they are us.” Appears from Benz’s descriptions that the only solution is for Congress to cut off the money to all these offending agencies, NGOs, etc. No wonder we’re so far in debt.
The Fourth Branch is essentially self-funding.
They are entwined with Cartels and Mafias, they run guns and grow heroin and traffic humans and exploit the NSA data-center to exploit and play the financial markets, it will take much more than taking away the source of funds that can be seen and throttled.
They need to be shut down and their entire operation excised by the creation of a temporary agency with the remit to identify every actor, every program, every scam, every crime, every compromise of our Constitution, and destroy them.
Only actors that come forward and spill their guts will escape internment and extensive deprogramming if not complete removal from society forever.
I am not at all confident the kind of root and branch destruction and removal is possible going THROUGH any aspect of THE SYSTEM.
Going through Congress, or through the Courts, or through the Executive,…this “Forth branch” of the deep State has subjugated and corupted, and so dominates the other 3.
Remember the Church commission,..and the line from Borne; “If this goes South, we’ll shut diwn blackbriar, tie it around Pams neck, and then start up again.”
And, we certainly can not rely on the “4th estate ” of the media,..
Itsas if every possible avenue, to shutting them down, they have already anticipated, and so have ‘covered’.
The only one left, is first 3 words,…”We, the People,..”
I believe Sundance basically said the same thing. He added that they are funded by the large corporations, banks, and global elites. It is likely that Out “representatives” have no idea of the scope of this 4th branch of government. They certainly don’t understand that this 4th branch is more powerful than they are
If they even have sense enough to realize it exists.
Judging by the perversions seen around DC, those that have found themselves in compromising situations are certainly aware. Looking at some voting records, it certainly makes me wonder what kind of dirt they have on that guy/gal. I’m sure I don’t want to know.
If there’s no actual dirt they simply manufacture it. They can plant anything in a persons computer or bank transactions.
They understand. It is the fourth branch that controls them thru the ‘currency’ of extortion, bribes, threats and intimidation.
They are the enforcement arm.
Oh, sure they do! First day of freshman orientation they are told how things really work, and that it’d be a shame if something happened to that special something that matters to you.
It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to believe that they are also the source of most “identity theft” for profit. Think about “long distance” phone service grabbing back in the 80’s- easily reduced to a minimum by requiring 3rd party verification. The same could easily stop identity theft.
What a lot of detailed information that ties together all the disparate parts of the system that is trying to destroy the republican government of the United States and replacing it with a dictatorship of totalitarian control over every individual and every word spoken or written by an individual.
It ties a lot of things together. The Arab Spring, the Maidan coup in Ukraine with the growth of the surveillance state around the world.
But to me, the most shocking thing that Mike Benz described was the foreknowledge of the result of the 2020 election. Which makes me then consider, if they knew the outcome of the 2020 election 7 months in advance, how long were they infiltrating Trump support groups, predicting the push-back on the election fraud that was going to take place? And that means that January 6 was already being planned well in advance of the election. They didn’t yet know the date, but they predicted correctly the frustration and anger that would be engendered by the fraud.
So, once President Trump announced a rally on January 6, they triggered their plans. Their unknown scaffold commander, their people to take down barriers, the Capitol police actions, the DC police to fire into the crowds. It was all planned and coordinated long in advance, not a matter of a couple of weeks, but over months.
They also would have planned in advance the subsequent destruction of MAGA, the fear-mongering to be used while they arrested ordinary people, shock and awe FBI arrests, surveilled cell phone and bank credit cards, and put online photos of the “wanted criminals”.
Mike Benz is most impressive. I recommend that he is made part of President Trump’s administration, in charge of dismantling the entire mess we have in the intelligence community, arresting those who have spit on the citizens of this country for their own power and wealth…..the Golden Billion.
What makes you believe he is not a part of President Trump’s team?
1) Because he didn’t say anything concerning it?
2) ?????
3) All of the Above.
Benz IS good, however I submit that he IS subject to a kind of “silo’ing” that Sundance has talked about.
By that I mean he is obviously 100% focused on THIS aspect (the survellence state) and may not be all that aware of other asoects of our enemies action, that fall outside his wheelhouse.
Could be. Could not be.
Time will tell.

In other words, they had to shut down any and all discussion about the ways that fraud could, and did, happen.
They knew that those Mail in ballots would be the catalyst to push FJB over the edge.
They also know President Trumps won in 2020 which is why the judiciary has been destroyed to “Get Trump”
Good V. evil, plain and simple.
It’s also useful to watch the slightly dated ‘Shadowgate’ video to understand some of the ‘how’ and see some of the ‘who’s involved. Name you’ll recognize as ‘real American heroes’ (not).

These Communists have been shadow banning Trump since before the 2016 election. I remember posting his post as a reshare and it wasn’t showing up for anyone else on my friends list, or other public viewers.
Just watched this with my daughter. The Clown Show merry go round makes me say “Stop! I want to get off!”
I’ll say it again, the best Twitter replacement is the decentralized Nostr, https://nostr.com/. It has a public key (so people can find you) and a private key (your login, don’t lose it). On iOS devices the Damus app seems to be the best for end user experience. Nostr is not popular yet but there are many in the crypto space that are saying it cannot be censored and that it’s the way of the future. Not sure about that, but that alone got me interested. Enjoy
Every time I get introduced to a new secure app I now wonder if it is created and run by the government (Signal/Tor).
That is probably why SVR’s little Nellie Ohr (Vlad had to be laughing his head off he had a seat at the table where Obama, Clinton and co. were planning a coup) was using shortwave radio.
Packet wireless has been around for a long time. Bruce Ohr’s wife is one tip of many of that iceberg, IMO.
The good news is that patriots have also long used radio. I’m also mindful that the Founders waged war against the most powerful empire on the planet with practically none of the technology we have today, save for the distant ancestors of the guns their hard work provided us access to.
The current war is the information war. Radio is very effective, both as a connection and as a trap. Don’t forget traps. Guerilla warfare. 🙂

Nowadays there seems to be a contest to find in technology the very worst application for humanity. (killer robots, sanctity of life (mrna), perversion of creativity (generative ai) etc.)
I se this as a possibility to. I think we may lose the usability of the Internet to AI, at which point we’ll abandon it.

“I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man,” was made in the context of religious freedom: any government effort to control religious beliefs was “tyranny over the mind of man.”
Th Jefferson
It is not insignificant that they have scrubbed the actual writings and thoughts of Thomas Jefferson at both the University (UVA) he helped found and build and at Monticello his own residence.
(hence my screen name chosen in rebellion to thought control)
The desecration of his statues is nothing compared to the attempted screening of his actual thoughts found in his letters and notes.
On that fateful night in November 2024 will we be able to discuss what just happened to us ?
Speaking for myself, I won’t be discussing it, as the time for talk will have passed…
I’ll posit that, for those who wish to discuss, the means will remain to do so.
So far, the Communists tend to target specific people and groups to instill fear and compliance.
Could the Treehouse be deplatformed or its traffic denied routing? Possible. I doubt it will happen though. I trust gentle readers so concerned have already established alternative means and enjoy Green Dragon status protocols 🙂
My son monitors the main internet highway from Richmond to Philadelphia with runs out to the Dulles, Va area which is filling up with Cloud server farms. When the Russian sanctions were announced, he had to block or turn off their access to that part of the internet. He said a crowd gathered around him and there was a count down to him pushing a button. He thought the whole thing was funny.
the internet is so 20th century, they can have it
100% decentralized blockchain technology has already arrived
www dot ‘anything’ becomes less meaningful every day
meaning the entire wowldwide dns (domain name systems) infrastructure will soon be obsolete
decentralized, economical, anonymous, blazingly fast and uncensorable worldwide networks powered by thousands of independent nodes – in virtually every country
additionally, privately created llm’s (large language models) are being created as i type
meaning no longer will you need to have access to the rusty old internet anywhose – search engines are soon obsolete
and these a.i. models work entirely offline
blockchains to the rescue…
Care to eleborate, in simplified English?
How would I access such a system as you describe?
I too would be interested. I’m familiar with packet wireless and SSTV (slow scan tele vision) but am woefully ignorant about the latest tech.
I would presume we’d access such systems wirelessly; data links in the 60’s for space and later ACARS for aircraft got me interested in that stuff.
Another support for my dad’s old adage of the more one knows the more one knows how little one knows 🙂
do a little dd on qortal and the mimble wimble technology, it’s all good reading, enlightening,
and the technology is available now
on the blockchain side, dd the network by solana labs to get a taste of how traditional banking (tradfi) will give way to blockchain decentralized finance (defi)
decentralized apps (dapps) including decentralized smartphone services on the solana blockchain and a worldwide app called hivemapper replaces gooogle maps, 1000’s of dapps and no centralized gooogle play store
the newer layer 1 chains such as solana, there are others, expose the inherent weaknesses of the top two old guards, bitcoin and etherium, both inherently slow, expensive, prone to network bottlenecks and virtually unscaleable
the planned cbdc’s are blockchain
this technology is not to be ignored, it’s so rappidly approaching
dutchman: budalysis is referring to various cyrptocurrency “platforms,” based on blockchain protocols, which rely on a permanent, unchangeable “ledger” of all transactions. Some of this stuff is real and important. Some is smoke, mirror and marketing hype.
As interesting as some blockchain/crypto uses can be, they are heavily dependent on the Internet. Without a functioning, unrestricted connection between all the peers, blockchain falls apart. You can’t participate in a chain if you have no access to said chain. And how many people have enough ISPs available in their area to circumvent targeting against your traffic specifically? And would any of those ISPs be able to resist the strong arm of the Feds?
Something or someone is sure interfering with my view of this thread. I’ve had it crash five times since opening it to read it in detail.
Musk is toast when the timing best fits their context. They undoubtedly keep enough on such a person that they can unleash as needed. But with a Muxk, a powerful public person, they need to be able to quiet him long enough to limit his response. Or timing such that others who might fill his void, cannot implement in time or result to counteract their course context.
So I don’t consider Musk safely distant from their overt intervention of him. But rather fully at their mercy, until such time as to when they can maximize the value of interfering with him.
In terms of getting the word out with as little oversight prevention as possible, consider the value of physically moved commerce. Like that of vehicles, trucks, etc. that cross our paths every day. Now, what message system to employ deserves thought and creation. What published common work contains regularly exacting references across the land to act as an open yet unpreterbable thought dispenser. Most messaging would have to be encouragements of love and stay the course. But a discerning use of interjected sterner dialog slipped in carefully, intentionally so as to be ignored by most. Of course, I’m not sure how quickly a physically transported message can cross this nation. Obviously, cb-radio can speed it up. But vehicle attached, public viewable displays is necessary for final ingestion into the reinvent-the-narrative-initiative.
It ain’t Big Brother
It is Big Mother
It is twisted and if carried out to its conclusion results in poorly educated serfs back on the plantation.
Don’t you dare rattle those chains or stick your head up!…. just row the galley and break your back when the call comes for ramming speed.
It will end in chaos and conflict and the elites themselves will be blood bathed when the destroyer takes charge.
I watched tonight on X. Sundance/team hv always been on target. I also noticed yesterday (may hv been there longer but I just saw it yesterday) “someone” on X is really concerned about the information being produced by Sundance & is openly ‘targeting him/his works on his site etc. & anyone who challenges what that person is saying. After a bit of feedback they weren’t use to, they answered once & no contact later in the time I was on X. The trips to EU & info shared likely upset their apple cart.
Thank you all for doing so (sharing, writing truths, & helping educate us).
Within this web of attempted control over us is a reality of the growing inability of these tyrants to actually FORCE us to do anything.
The U.S. military is becoming neutered by its own incompetence. Navy ships go to sea but are mechanically unfit for duty. Top of the line fighter jets are too complex to be reliable.
Tech nerds cannot ultimately rule the world because the world requires physical actions, not just computer keyboards.
We see, in the farce of electric vehicles, reality destroys the intent of controlling tyrants. Electric vehicles in actual practice are an unreliable, dangerous and overpriced mess.
People operate in the physical world where water has to come out of the tap. Toilets have to flush. People have to stay warm in cold weather. Electricity has to be reliable. Food must be available for you to feed your family. Important things have to be delivered on time. Critical medicines must be created and distributed.
We don’t live INSIDE the Internet. We live in the real world of starvation, injury, illness, blood, sweat and tears.
And you can’t win a war of attrition without being able to manufacture more than your enemy.
Also, super expensive, high tech, take forever to make weapons, are only good for fast wars that end as soon as they start. Or little wars against those who can’t fight back.
Once an enemy can fight back, the war doesn’t end quickly, and you fall into a war of attrition. And your weapons take too long and too much resources, even if you can manufacture them without outside help.
Guess we’ll have to perfect our pig Latin to communicate.
John has a long mustache 🙂
IDK, perhaps a resurgence in numbers stations? IMO, ad hoc coms will be hiding in plain sight with simple protocols. People proficient in current networks will perfect ways to tunnel in them.
Average folks will network in person like the Founders did. They managed a revolution without much of the technology, and living conveniences, we take for granted.
Will it be, or can it be, a marked disadvantage against an enemy with superior technology? Perhaps. However, their technology can also be their vulnerability. It’s up to us to exploit it. 🙂
No one should be surprised as this is the MO of a hostile Communist takeover. Been coming like a train wreck in slow motion, yet 75% of America ignore it because it may get in the way of the circus.
As long as they get their loaf of bread and can watch the lions and gladiators go at it in the coliseum, they’re a happy horde.
After first reading this I prayed. Then I donated to President Trump.
This Psalm helped.
Psalm 52
New International Version
Psalm 52[a]
For the director of music. A maskil[b] of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.[c]
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
8 But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.
Two words,
“But God”
Trust God. Fear not.
Sundance? Puzzle me this,, what is the ultimate goal of all this? Where does it end? … I don’t really expect an answer from you,, I think I already know,,, perhaps I always have,, and it will not be good….
I always wanted to believe it was just a few bad actors, now I know that is not the case at all. They are all in on it to preserve their cushy gigs no matter the cost to us.
I hope this leads to more direct human interaction. Imagine how subversive that would be.
Excellent, very informative, essay, Sundance. Thank you.
“I share that Russia example, because I do not want people to get too disheartened in what is going to happen here in the United States. ” – Sundance
Well after listening to Mike Benz and the Democrats winning elections in NY and PA I am “disheartened”! We know what’s going on but seem unable to stop any of it, it’s just too massive in scale! The Department of Homeland Security like the FBI needs to be repealed/destroyed all it really does is help the IC/deep state spy on us We The MAGA People!!!
“Do not get alarmed, get informed.” – Sundance. I am alarmed because I am informed!!! Godspeed Sundance!!!
Once again I’m doubting if President Trump can win in 2024 with all these government departments, institutions, groups and players described by Mike Benz still in place to censor our free speech and to interfere in the 2024 election just like in 2020!!! Unchecked/unverified mail in ballots aka fraudulent ballot harvesting will once again keep the Democrats in the White House no matter who they run!!! JMO
I think back to the early days of the war, just after Pearl Harbor, when we were getting handed our hats and thousands were killed daily. It was disheartening.
Still, we stood fast, suffered and moved forward.
Wars are won by scared men who’d rather be somewhere else 🙂
I have been skeptical of Tucker, but this interview exposes it. Sundance explained that Tucker was in a bubble and was not as educated as Treepers. Tucker is waking up. Trump has to win and Trump has to wholesale close down most of Washington. The only possible solution is to shut down most of the broken government and stop the money flow. Once the money dries up the socialists will go looking for more somewhere else.
My hope is that they go to Africa. That continent is a mess and could sure use their presence. ///
Beyond money, there’s power and control of the vast resources and technology which resides within the control of the U.S. That’s a very ripe fruit and no one is indispensable. We machinists, among other working classes, learned that decades ago. Now the stuff skilled tradesmen used to manufacture can be made by unskilled labor and computer controlled machines.
I’m watching a bit of it this morning as a mini-excavator is doing the job of ten diggers in the rain fixing the broken septic system of a neighbor. Should I applaud that the labor on site is white and speaks English? IDK, perhaps I should. California hasn’t gotten to my part of Oregon yet. It’s coming though. Our replacements. Harsh perhaps but that’s one old machinist’s opinion.
So I went out that dangerous unreliable content highlighted by the red error, MAGA people are happier. There are some truly unhappy souls managing internet pipes to flag that blog. Note to those lost souls, I am a happy soul here along with the other 100 million!
I was about to enquire about the millions of IP addresses transferred from the pentagon to a “private” company. Then noticed the link to the article.
Nothing more, at least that I’m aware of, was talked about or discussed anywhere about the why’s, what and who. Nor have I found any info yet.
why did the pentagon have this huge number of IP’s ?
why did they transfer them?
what was the purpose before?
what is the purpose now?
are they active or dormant?
who is and who is behind this “private” company?
what is their (real) business?
The roll-out for the surveillance state, Cloward-Piven style:
* Facilitate immigration from war zones and areas disrupted by U.S-Globalist interventionary chaos.
* Amplify domestic threats and instability by opening borders for mass migration.
* Roll out internet-digital security measures to deal with out-of-control domestic violence and instability.
