Mike Benz walks through the history of how the USA industrial information control complex came to life as an outcome of specific intent created through the ideology of those behind Barack Obama.
It’s a long and granular discussion; however, some may find some of the insight on the history of the current information war to be beneficial to understanding the current dynamic. WATCH:

Sean is one of our best.
Shawn Ryan has created an outstanding show. He started with interviews of other special forces types and evolved into so much more, and his interview format allows his guests to really get into details that they can’t in a standard MSM appearance. If y’all haven’t checked out his channel, I think you really should.
There is a whole host of podcasters, bloggers and others, exploring the many alternative ways to use the internet to develop and disseminate content without any association with the Big 6 Media companies.
In total, they represent MAGA MEDIA, and yes ONE of the many ways they are more attractive for viewers has to do with $.
Because content can be created and disseminated much less expensively than MSM, interviews can be long and cover many subjects, rather than the 2 minute with 15 sec. soundbites.
And that one difference has fundamental effects, on changing the whole nature of info/entertainment.
For many years, it has been SAID that “Americans have short attention spans”,…
Turns out, Americans
have a long attentuin span, if they are provided with decent material.
“Family friendly” aka MAGA News, music, tv shows and movies are all being produced and distributed with minimal involvement of the traditional media distribution venues,!
“For many years, it has been SAID that “Americans have short attention spans”,…”
That is said for two reasons.
I listened to the whole thing. Astounding. Best detailed analysis of the background factors of the Ukraine debacle that I’ve ever heard. I highly encourage everyone to listen to this
Ditto and agree.
It pulls it all together and why things are happening they way they are and where they are.
Ain’t I been sayin it?
Well, AIN’T I?
“Its all about the oil; Venezuela, Iran, Russia,…
toppling Nationalist Governments in order to gain control of the OIL.”
I agree with every word you said . However, at this point almost 11 hours after your comment there are a total of 29/30 c0mments , perhaps the weakest reaction of any CTH posting I have ever seen.
I too was surprised by that. But I’ve been following Benz for about half the year at this point so I was very happy to see this
I suspect this is due at least in part due to the length of the video. I’m certainly not going to watch it right now, but intend to at some point this weekend. I’m probably not the only one thinking like this.
I saved it for this morning so that I could watch it all in one session. Glad I did.
Comments are screened.
A low number of posted comments may imply something about the CTH aims for this article vs. commenters’ opinions.
A great interview… worthy of listening to the entire episode…
Excellent explanation of the lead up to where we find ourselves today relative to Europe / Ukraine / Russia. Names a few folks engaged in the scheme.
It’s tragic that few Americans will ever know of this… and fewer would even care…
Limited hangout.
“We told you what we’re doing. You’re doing nothing to stop us. Our conscience is clear.”
They have no conscience, clear or otherwise.
Some suggest that nearly everything in “news and commentary” media is Limited Hangout combined with other manipulations now.
Including right-of-center media.
A chorus of mockingbirds, many convinced they express truth.
“What is truth?” (John 18:38)
We have no right to know what our Government is doing? Censorship of the entire Internet is the only way that the Government is able to give our country to the UN.
and obama’s deep state is trying to kill trump with direct orders from mr. kenyan himself.
Now I understand why they want to kill him so badly.
I’m still voting for Trump.
I am one hour and 45 minutes in. Thoughts:
Americans should not be afraid of the “economic impact” of doing the Right, Moral, Things.
I am totally in favor of the “elephant trampling the whole wheat field”.
Our government is so vastly corrupt, it is incomprehensible.
We need to evict “The Blob”.
I am not in favor of a “whole of society” (i.e., globalism) approach.
Populism is in revolt against Globalism. Get the Elites off our backs and out of everyone’s business.
Fire 85% of the Government, regardless of the “economic impact”.
I learned something shocking. In the Universities there is a track of study – “Disinformation Studies”. Sounds like Hitler’s Youth training to me.
As Sundance has said, there is no good or bad information, just information. Adults can make their own decisions in regards to information. Free speech is guaranteed to us. The government and NATO and all the globalist jerks need to get out of our business.
Will add thoughts after I get through the last hour of this highly insightful, informative, and important interview.
“To prevent foreign terrorism spreading to our domestic subjects, we must have totalitarian censorship powers so that our subjects can’t complain either about all the foreign terrorists we’re importing into the country, or about us terrorizing said subjects to keep them quiet.”
If freedom of speech is a natural Right, aka a ‘God-Given’ Right, what are we doing undermining other nations’ abilities to have freedom of speech in the name of our own ‘national security’?
What is more frightening about this interview is the implications of the things Mike left unsaid. That these tools are being used against us at home, and can be seen vividly in the Hunter Laptop story, and before that, Russian Collusion hoax. These are the same people, the same organizations, the same goals.
Very helpful interview.
More throughts after finishing the podcast…
Trying to knock down StarLink and replace it with a Chinese made competitor… no thanks, I’ll go without. We didn’t use to have the Internet and we did a lot better!
No wonder Killary was so happy being Secretary of State. It seems to be the hub of a lot of the evil.
Atlantic Council “cooperative agreement”… primary coordinator of censorship with 7 previous CIA Directors on its board…
The reasons behind the Ukraine clusterF explained… wow… as well as the Hunter Biden “problem”.
Explanations and history of the conflict in Russia and other places.
He ends with an optimistic note. I can’t get through the 5 stages of grief to “acceptance” of any of this.
My bottom line is that I don’t believe the U.S. government should be the policeman of the world. We need to mind our own taters and develop our own resources not scramble around trying to capture them from elsewhere. Just sayin’.
The breakdown on the Atlantic Council, the seven former heads of CIA on it and what it is doing was the best I’ve heard.
There seem to be so many of the ‘secret clubs’ even if they aren’t really so secret anymore. If it is hidden, covert, exclusive, not-well-known, the members are doing something they know is criminal.
Benz closing comments beginning 2:41:40,
“I would just encourage people to be optimistic in a lot of ways, because as much as if feels like we are up against the weight of the world … this was the world before you could read about it.”
He continues, implying that the political scene has not changed as much as our visibility into it has.
🎯
Of note too was the part about DeSantis and how he really is not a threat to the major power battles happening abroad.
They don’t target him because he’s okay with the foreign (which is influencing our domestic) policy.
Wowza! My weekend schedule has started and I may not be able to listen to this for a while.
But having heard Mike Benz on at least two long-form podcasts, plus other appearances, I’ve always been mesmerized by the depth and non-pretending nature of his information.
So happy to see that sundance approves of him enough to present this.
And no, though anything could be possible, I do not think he is a “limited hangout” guy.
Great speaker, so knowledgeable, so much information.
Seems like maybe this guy should be an adviser in the next Trump administration. Official or unofficial. What do you think?
Got my vote!
This interview revealed Mike Benz to me. He’s either supremely naive or a sweep up guy to get the free thinkers into another pile. He tells MANY truths. Information that we intuit, have our own confirming evidence, common sense, pattern recognition that validates. His information is very helpful as a resource to understand what we are up against.
So why do I characterize him as I do? Does interfering in the Brazilian election make sense to have the puppet they installed shockingly fall into the Chinese sphere? Not one bit. Unless there’s a global partnership between “The Blob” and China and the entire WEF/UN New World Order/Agenda 2030. As if the Biden’s are only corrupt, not fellow travelers, fully on-board with the dismantling of the US empire. Or as if Putin/Russia are really adversaries.
Benz is limited in his scope as to the real malevolence we are up against. It is well-known and even in the published plans of the WEF that the era of US global hegemony is over. And that regional power centers will control the world. Shared governance as coequals. China has Asia. The US has North America. Brazil has South America. EU has Europe. Middle East, Africa, the Eurasian subcontinent dominance still TBD.
The world ruled by agreement like organized crime agrees to family control of cities/regions, criminal rackets like drugs, prostitution, etc. Just don’t step on another family’s toes and it’s good business for everyone. Godfather-ish. Apalachin Meeting National Crime Syndicate, but a Global Crime Syndicate.
Benz is either too trusting of the actual intentions of those atop, as if they have the interests of the US people in mind; they clearly do not. They have their own interests in mind, and how their own interests are benefited by the global crime syndicate they operate under. Or Benz is a hopium agent.
I’m appreciative of his insights, they are useful. But he isn’t an end-all who has my trust. There’s naivete or another agenda in place. And for as much as he seems to be savvy about, I find it hard to believe it’s naivete.
Ughhh. And Benz recommended bringing Linda Yaccarino on to the show. Mrs. Censorship/Mis/Disinformation Queen herself. She’s the “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” enforcer. Speak all you want but into an empty room. Except about some things Twitter/X still censors.
Benz. Limited hangout, lots of truth…but partial truth. It’s what he doesn’t say and where he tries to steer the viewer that is the biggest tell of his deception.
Or…who knows, perhaps that’s a part of his strategy to staying alive while he reveals what he reveals, being careful to not give up the most important parts lest he meet a unfortunate end?
…
It’s a fantastic episode everyone should listen!!!
Well, this is interesting – especially since this person is quite young. Gives one some hope:

Benz seems to me to be a deep state actor.
He can go to hell re: taking years to reel in the tech + govt agency collaboration.
Trump can just fire anyone on the gov side associated with the collaboration including employees at the lowest level. Trump can turn off the internet to rogue agencies. End of.
Mike Benz wrote an illuminating piece about himself on X:
https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1710479185028726943
Part of it:
“The account in question was a project by Jews to get people who hated Jews to stop hating Jews.
It was a deradicalization project, and it produced deradicalization material.
It made contact with groups in the early primordial soup of the MAGA movement in 2016 and
sought to move people from a place of hate and division closer to a place of love and unity.”
That was really interesting. It is good to have someone shine a spotlight onto the Atlantic Council.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
I leave this more convinced than ever that Paul Manafort worked for the State Department and the CIA while supposedly serving the elected President of Ukraine. A person would have to be pretty disengaged not to see Manafort’s position with the President of Ukraine as desirable for both the CIA and the State Department. His position is not unlike Hunter Biden who had the protection of the CIA and State Department while he worked in Ukraine. Both Manafort and Hunter had some criminal violations to work out with the FBI and DOJ, and those were used as leverage to maintain their operations in Ukraine. It also explains how “Republican” Manafort worked with the “Democrat” Tony Podesta in Ukraine and Russia.
Is this a reveal that Benz works for the Blob? Minute 17:00, Benz (who we’re supposed to believe in) takes the position of Blob protection using the typical fear narrative of, God forbid, interupting the international pencil supply if we take away the Blob’s ability to depose of governments it finds inconvenient.
