Dreadful Things Keep Happening, Because Dreadful People Are in Charge of the World – Neil Oliver
BY PATRICIA HARRITY ON OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ( 28 COMMENTS )
‘A person would have to be blind to fail to notice that whilst the bullets fly and the blood flows, all manner of legislation scuttles through our various parliaments like thieves in the night, systemically, and inch by inch, stealing our ways of life.’ said Neil Oliver, in his segment of GBNews. While this is an important issue, Neil Oliver, as eloquently as ever explains that dreadful people are in charge of the world and “we’re set at each other’s throats by those who don’t give a damn about any of us.” These people are in the middle of what he says is the “ugliest, most brutal, most obscene game of all.” and argues that “It’s time where the people stopped watching them play it, if not for us, then for our children, and for everyone’s children.“
Although there is a video included at the bottom, a transcript was written verbatim below in order to enable time to be taken to appreciate, what I believe to be, a very important message from Neil Oliver.
‘Whilst blood flows, legislation scuttles through Parliament stealing our ways of life’
By Neil Oliver on the 28th of October, on GBNews.
Transcript
Dreadful things keep happening because dreadful people are in charge of the world but face no consequences for their dreadful actions.
Since 911 the beginning of the Forever War on Terror millions of civilians have been killed in a blood-drenched suede of territory in Iraq Afghanistan Syria Libya Yemen and many more places besides.
Always we’re told “it’s for the greater good” that we must accept the collateral deaths of the innocent as well as the guilty. Always it’s civilians that die in the greatest numbers like grass harvested or trampled underfoot. Modern wars are prosecuted to keep the powerful in power and to make the rich richer.
Provoked or not the answer is always war. As often as not, they’re about oil, the removal of inconvenient uncooperative regimes, and the replacement with those deemed compliant. The rich and Powerful insist they act only to make the world a better, safer place.
Is that right?
Dreadful People
All I see are piles of corpses, heaps of rubble and a world made more dangerous every day for the likes of you and me. I say the likes of US presidents W Bush, Clinton Bill, of course, and also Hillary and Obama are dreadful people with blood on their hands.
So too past British Prime Minister Tony Blair, also dreadful, he and his little wizards lied about weapons of mass destruction in the arsenal of Saddam Hussein and then he and George Bush launched an illegal War.
If you don’t believe me that that war was deemed illegal, then how about the word of Kofi Anan then Secretary General of the United Nations who said in 2004 “I have indicated that it’s not in accordance with the UN Charter” From our point of view and the UN Charter point of view the war was illegal.
The world is littered with aging ghouls, bloody to their elbows but somehow hailed as “Statesmen.”
Their cynical advice eagerly sought by their successors and in spite of the body counts, in spite of illegality, in spite of the deliberately fermented International instability, in spite of the revolving door between politics and the military-industrial complex that sees the suits serve their time in elected office declaring Wars and signing off on billion-dollar contracts to arms manufacturers before quitting the scenes of their crimes and taking up lucrative executive positions with the Boeings, Raytheons and Northrup Grummans of the world.
Never are there consequences for any of them, not in this life at least.
It’s not fingerprints that are left behind by the guilty parties, it’s news stories and sometimes even recordings of their voices calling for the necessary dirty work.
No Consequences for the Dreadful People
In early 2014 civil war broke out in the Donbass region of Ukraine after a US-backed coup d’etat cleared away the Russian favouring government in Kiev. The coup was the work of Victoria Nuland, then U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs.
Nuland talked about it all in a phone call to the then-US ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, and we know this because someone leaked a recording of it all. Nuland and Piatt discussed who was to be the next prime minister of Ukraine. Nuland wanted anti-Russian Arseniy Yatsenyuk, in her own words “I think “Yats is the guy”.
Pyatt warned her, “Europeans might not support Yatsenyuk” to which she replied “F the EU”, except she didn’t limit herself to the letter F.
Yet Yatsenyuk ended up as prime minister right enough and the rest, including the latest War there, bar the shouting, is history. Any consequences for Nuland? Well in 2021 she was made under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, so that’s nice, for Victoria.
The desiccating ghouls are everywhere. Former U.S. speaker Pelosi’s net worth has rocketed since the 2008 financial crisis. With the help of her husband’s lucrative stock trades, she’s one of the richest people in Congress, pocketing $140 million since the crash. And while she strenuously denies sharing information with her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi.
Pelosi many and angry have been the questions asked about trades made by Paul that just happened to coincide with major decisions by her Congress.
They are Easy to Spot
I say again that dreadful things keep happening because dreadful people are in charge and suffer no consequences. I also say those dreadful people are invariably cowards, which partly explains why they do those Dreadful things or at least stand by while dreadful events unfold.
Cowards are easy to spot, just as dreadful people are easy to spot, just as weak people are easy to spot, for they’ll sacrifice actively or passively anyone and everyone they perceive as a threat to their position and burgeoning wealth.
And so French Macron, Canadian Trudeau, and Kiwi Ardern, and more besides, keep stepping backwards while simultaneously nudging their populations forwards into harm’s Way.
Johnson and The Wages of Sin
Another British former Prime Minister Boris Johnson locked down the country in lockstep with all the rest. Leading to death and economic destruction on an unmeasured scale and pushed medical products that were, questionably, neither safe nor effective. Not even in terms of big Pharmas own self-regulating policies on millions of people, children included.
He was the NATO bag carrier who scuppered hopes of an early peace deal in Ukraine like Blair, like the Clintons, like Obama, and the rest. He’s now on the luxury lecture circuit trousering a fortune along the way. The wages of sin, as it turns out, come in seven figures, or eight , well that’s my guess.
Naked Fascism of Stakeholder Capitalism
In the 20th century it was primarily war that the Dreadful people turned to for the purposes of keeping themselves safe now it’s more sinister and certainly more coldblooded as the powers that be increasingly and enthusiastically enter into unholy partnerships with big business and the central banks.
This is the naked fascism of stakeholder capitalism the even more unforgivable cynical sacrifice of people and the well-being of people on the altar of profit.
Our rights are erased, freedoms are erased and a person would have to be blind to fail to notice that while the bullets fly and the blood flows, all manner of legislation scuttles through our various parliaments like thieves in the night, systematically and inch by inch, stealing our ways of life.
In Search of a Spine
The Online Safety Bill, to arguably censored descent, the energy bill giving fascist power to kick in the doors of private homes, and next on the slate, the amendments to the International Health Regulations that are foundational to the WHO’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty.
Unless our elected representatives, those we pay for and that notionally serve us, take action before December, by default, our national sovereignty will slip from our hands and into those of the unelected, faceless, unaccountable, servants of the World Health Organization.
They’ll tell us when there’s an international Health Emergency, and that could easily be on the grounds of their arguably questionable interpretation of the ‘climate crisis’. and if so what the likes of you and me have to do as a result, including being potentially locked down and ordered to submit to medical procedures? And will our Prime Minister, or any of our MPs act to ensure none of this is possible for the people of Britain?
I suspect, at most, a shiver runs along the benches in the chamber of the palace of Westminster, desperately in search of a spine to run down one of two perhaps,….
…the usual honourable exceptions, thank you Andrew Bridgen, as always, stand in plaintive defence of ancient Liberty, but not enough, not nearly enough to prevent the inevitable hammering into place of the final nail in the coffin of our freedom.
The cowards have taken over and now we see how much harm weak men and weak women can cause. I ask again, where are the consequences for any of this? Will we ever again see anyone fall on their sword except the failure and go?
Brunanburh
In 937AD, a battle was fought at a place called Brunanburh, likely somewhere near the Mersey in England’s West. Two armies clashed, one led by King Athelstan of the Anglo-Saxons, the other a North Celtic Alliance led by King Constantine of the Scots.
Those that fought in that battle had never known anything so terrible in its scale and Violence. None that witnessed Brunanburh or heard about Brunanburh ever forgot it for generations it was remembered as the Great War. The two armies fought from sun up, until sundown, and then the results, still unclear, withdrew from one another to contemplate terrible wounds, terrible heaps of slain.
As a consequence of Brunanburh in 937, a line was drawn once and for all, separating a smaller Kingdom in the north of the long island of Britain from a larger Kingdom in the south. In that way were the destinies of Scotland and England, set in train.
King Constantine’s own son not spared the draft, you might say died in the fighting, and some few years afterwards, a reign of more than 40 years, he walked away from his unchallenged throne forever. Having seen enough and likely fearing for his immortal soul, he lived out the rest of his life as a penitent in a cave on the east coast of Scotland near St Andrews.
Once upon a time we were warriors and led by Warriors, and sometimes those warriors with more blood on their hands than could ever be washed away turned their backs on power and sought forgiveness instead.
Condemnation of Wickedness
Not anymore, now there’s new horror in the old world of the Middle East. I condemn and totally and without qualification, any wickedness that kills civilians children, and babies. Babies being especially innocent and utterly undeserving of anything of the sort. who will suffer the consequences of whatever nightmares unfold?
As Russia, China, the US, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Syria must make their moves. Will the fighting-age children of leaders of nation-states, those bellicose men and women in designer suits eager for all-out war, be compelled to take part in any draft for a ground invasion of Gaza or elsewhere in the region?
Will those same leaders stand over the bodies of the slain civilian dead among them, children too, and declare the all’s fair in Love and War? Will they leave office when the dust settles and set out in pursuit of lucrative new jobs or speaking to us paying a million dollars a time and will the deadly consequences play out only for the people who always suffer, civilians black white, and brown, and of whatever Creed?
Dreadful People Don’t Give a Damn About Any of Us
Here’s the thing, we’re set at each other’s throats by those who don’t give a damn about any of us, not Christians, not Jews, not Muslims, or anyone else.
Instead of joining in baying for more blood should see it all for what it is, the ugliest, most brutal, most obscene game of all.
It’s time where the people stopped watching them play it, if not for us, then for our children, and for everyone’s children.

@Thomas_Binder
How to fabricate a plandemic of a killer virus, and terminate it with pointless, harmful “vaccines” without endangering yourself
1) You take control of the
@WHO
:
Who controls the WHO, controls the world.
2) By buying the legacy media, and the scientific and medical journals, you get total narrative control.
3) By taking the dangerousness of the causative germ out of the definition of a pandemic, as the
@WHO
did in 2009, you can declare any endemic of a comparatively harmless flu or cold virus a pandemic or PHEIC, pronounced FAKE.
4) By inflating the harmless virus, or even no virus, into a killer virus with rumours of a lab leak of a manufactured killer virus, scary videos of piles of bodies, and the myth of epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission, as
@c_drosten
et al. did in 01/2020, you panic the populace: Every allegedly hale and hearty person can be your angel of death.
5) By declaring a positive (RT-)PCR test as infection with, disease and death from the virus, as the
@WHO
did with its international case definition of COVID-19, you create a (RT-)PCR testing pandemic, as explained in the 2007
@nytimes
article "Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t".
6) By fabricating a (RT-)PCR test that can detect >1 virus, preferably one that cross reacts with other flu or cold viruses, as
@c_drosten
et al. did in 01/2020, you can crank up and down the "case numbers" according to the script. By doing it differently in specific jurisdictions, you create various false positivity rates as pretext to impose travel restrictions.
7) By spreading the myth of epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission, you create the subterfuge for not only isolating sick people, as we did for centuries, but to impose useless, harmful NPIs, such as antisocial distancing, face masks, isolation, quarantine, contact tracing, school closures and curfews, on everybody.
8) By creating the myth that a pandemic, that ends with everybody being immune or dead after three months, comes in several waves over years, and can only be terminated by a vaccine (even against a permanently mutating virus), that can be developed effectively and safely within months, you can seduce many people in accepting even a pointless, harmful gene therapy. As proof of their efficacy, you end (RT-)PCR testing. As proof of their safety, you blame their victims on the virus.
9) Once you lose narrative control, your house of cards collapses and you will be shunned by the whole humanity. Therefore you must censor, libel and prosecute enlighteners ever more.
10) Disobey when they fabricate the next pLandemic:
"Nobody has the right to obey."
(Hannah Arendt)
Never forget, while a like is good for our ego, sharing is caring for humanity!
The world must ‘Cut Off the Head of the Snake’ or devolve into a new Dark Age of tyrannical global government
I reported last week on the arrest of a prominent international lawyer who has been investigating and exposing the criminal intent surrounding the unleashing of toxic Covid “vaccines” on the world population.
Today, I discovered another influential man, along with a woman, who might want to watch their backs.
They are Swiss banker Pascal Najadi and Swiss scientist turned WHO-whistleblower Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger.
Najadi is a prominent former Swiss banker who has called for the arrest of corporate elites and unelected globalist bureaucrats over allegations of “democide.”

According to Wikipedia, democide is a term coined by American political scientist Rudolph Rummel to describe “the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command.” This definition covers a wide range of deaths, including mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect by governments or those with defacto government powers.
Pascal Najadi, a Swiss merchant banker of Persian discent, has joined forces with Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger to demand criminal prosecutions of those behind Big Pharma’s Covid injections, which they describe as “bioweapons.”
They make their case in a new mini documentary titled Cutting off the Head of the Snake.
You can watch a 5-minute clip from the documentary below.
In the film, Najadi and Stuckelberger pull no punches. They confront the new technocratic dark age being cultivated by an evil host of globalist organizations headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
Najadi focuses on the World Economic Forum, which his late father, Hussain Najadi, co-founded along with the globalist German technocrat Klaus Schwab.
Hussain Najadi was assassinated by a gunman in 2013 in Malaysia. His son, Pascal Najadi, became a leading Swiss banker and served as an adviser to global heads of state on financial matters. He continues to wield considerable influence over Switzerland’s political landscape, as evidenced by the fact that he was largely responsible for the recent resignation of Switzerland’s President Alain Berset.
The resignation came after Najadi filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court of Switzerland against Berset, accusing Berset of making false statements about the safety and efficacy of Covid mRNA injections.
In the documentary, Najadi reveals his late father’s utter disdain for the Geneva-based World Economic Forum that he helped found in 1971 along with Klaus Schwab. His father left the organization in the early 1980s, and Schwab has run it ever since under the initial tutelege of Dr. Henry Kissinger.
Pascal Najadi said:
“Everything evil in the world related to democide unfortunately comes from Geneva. You have WHO [World Health Organization] in Geneva, you have GAVI [Bill Gates’s Global Vaccine Alliance], then you have the WEF, which my father was a co-founder and left Klaus Schwab out of disgust in the early 80s that has diplomatic immunity.”
He added that:
“I, as a Swiss citizen right here, now declare that the WEF is not eligible anymore for diplomatic immunity.”
In the documentary, Najadi urges Swiss authorities to arrest those responsible for advocating a “global humanity injection by a bioweapon.”
This includes the CEOs and top leaders within Big Pharma, Big Tech, Bill Gates, the WEF, the WHO, and other globalist predators.

In fact, Najadi says he, at the age of 56, and his mother are victims of these bioweapons. He says they are both dying after receiving the injections.
“I call on the Swiss authorities and security to arrest those people immediately. Why? The WEF, WHO, GAVI, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Bill Gates all advocated a global humanity injection by a bioweapon injecting lipid nanoparticles into 5.7 billion people.”
“And we Swiss are hosting them. That’s terrible.
“We cannot tolerate any entity that promotes poison to be injected into humanity.
“But you have done it. I’m the victim.
“I’m dying from it, and my mother, too.
“It’s a democide and will be judged,” he added. “It will be corrected, in the name of humanity.”
The documentary then switches to Dr. Stuckelberger, who discusses the role of the United Nations in leading the world into global government in partnership with nefarious groups like the WEF, GAVI and the WHO.
Most people inside the United Nations aren’t aware of its purpose, and those who are aware “keep quiet” out of fear, she said. She says the silence is catastrophic for world freedom and calls for both global awareness and action.
Stuckelberger says the Swiss government granted immunity to Bill Gates’s Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization, or GAVI.
GAVI has been funded to the tune of $8.8 billion by more than 50 governments and organizations around the world. Even former President Donald Trump sent the globalist organization hundreds of millions of dollars in 2020.
The U.K. government is the world’s largest donor to GAVI and in June 2020 it committed to giving more than $2 billion over the five-year period through 2025. Representatives from both the Chinese government and the World Health Organization were present at the kickoff event, which also saw a surprise appearance by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said he was persuaded to join the GAVI initiative by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Dr. Stuckelberger described the push to vaccinate the world with Covid injections as a global coup d’état.
“We are trying to build a ‘We the People’ movement that is very global, something completely different,” Stuckelberger says. “But what is going on in Geneva is the opposite.”
At the moment, she said, “there is no right to the WHO to give any orders, to dictate to the whole world like they have done. And the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization (GAVI) got total immunity from the Swiss government.”
“This is coup d’etat. Clearly, it’s a global crime scene, and we are bringing little pieces of evidence to people with humility. Because in science you always have a doubt. It’s a healthy doubt, and I think that is a very important attitude.”
Their call to action is clear and resonates throughout the documentary: for individuals to stand up, seek the truth, and challenge the status quo, under the banner of guarding humanity against the present and clear danger stemming from Geneva.
They say it will take a collective awakening, urging the masses to rise up against the injustices perpetuated by unelected globalists.
Najadi, in a powerful ending to the documentary, states:
“Swiss neutrality has to be restored. We have no future not being neutral. The young people who survuvie through this, will be the guarantors, hopefully, that such institutions can never again take foothold in our blessed country. Never again. The snakehead is in Geneva. I call it a direct, clear, and present danger to the Swiss population. But I can tell you it is being cut off.
“If you have a house of cards, and this is a house of cards of a criminal, one card pulled by justice and the whole cardhouse collapses.
“But from hope alone, it is not done.
“Everybody must now change their spirit.
“And all the vaccinated, the injected, knowing that they are poisoned… We are the masses.
“We are billions of people.
“Let’s just stand up and say Stop. We will not comply.”
Because we are the guardians of humanity and our light obliterates the darkness of evil. Always.

Media and Truth
In order to return to normal human values, it is necessary to declare CNN, Reuters, Associated Press, Deutsche Welle and similar media fanatics and media Taliban as terrorist organizations. During the so-called pandemics and forces wars they produce enormous amounts of false information and spread hatred among nations and people, resulting in millions of victims throughout Europe and the world. This is not the law on freedom of the media, but the law on spreading hate and fake news that lead the world into dark ages of totalitarian systems.

All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars - How private bankers have imposed their system of slavery on the world
BY RHODA WILSON ON OCTOBER 10, 2023
WOW Another eye-opening video which bucks the "Mockingbird" Media narrative
Michael Rivero’s 2016 article and the video made from it set out the history of the last 260 years showing the effects of efforts by private bankers to impose their system of slavery on the world.
The Federal Reserve Act forced that system on the American people while the post-WW2 Bretton-Woods agreement forced it onto the rest of the world.
To keep their schemes going, these modern-day slavers do and have resorted to assassination and war to force the world to conduct all commerce only using bank notes borrowed at interest from the bankers.
This is a mafia-like practice of taking a “piece of the action” of all economic activity in exchange for little more than ink and paper – and the correct bribes to the correct officials.
The video, made by Zane Henry Productions, was written and narrated by Michael Rivero.
If the video above is removed from YouTube, you can watch it on Bitchute HERE.

The following are excerpts from the article ‘All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars’ by Michael Rivero published on 2 July 2016
I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, Michael Rivero wrote and gave some examples “so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations.”
The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III’s Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.
After the revolution, the new United States adopted a radically different economic system in which the government issued its own value-based money, so that private banks like the Bank of England were not siphoning off the wealth of the people through interest-bearing bank notes. The US Government actually took steps to keep the bankers out of the new government. But bankers are nothing if not dedicated to their schemes to acquire your wealth and know full well how easy it is to corrupt a nation’s leaders.
First Bank of the United States
Just one year after Mayer Amschel Rothschild had uttered his infamous “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws“, the bankers succeeded in setting up a new Private Central Bank called the First Bank of the United States, largely through the efforts of the Rothschild’s chief US supporter, Alexander Hamilton.
Founded in 1791, by the end of its twenty-year charter the First Bank of the United States had almost ruined the nation’s economy while enriching the bankers. Congress refused to renew the charter and signalled their intention to go back to a state-issued value-based currency on which the people paid no interest at all to any banker. This resulted in a threat from Nathan Mayer Rothschild against the US Government, “Either the application for renewal of the charter is granted, or the United States will find itself involved in a most disastrous war.” Congress still refused to renew the charter for the First Bank of the United States.
The British Prime Minister at the time, Spencer Perceval was adamantly opposed to war with the United States. Spencer Perceval was assassinated and replaced by Robert Banks Jenkinson who was fully supportive of a war to recapture the colonies.
Financed at virtually no interest by the Rothschild-controlled Bank of England, Britain then provoked the War of 1812 to recolonise the United States and force them back into the slavery of the Bank of England, or to plunge the United States into so much debt they would be forced to accept a new private central bank. And the plan worked.
Even though the War of 1812 was won by the United States, Congress was forced to grant a new charter for yet another private bank issuing the public currency as loans at interest, the Second Bank of the United States.
Second Bank of the United States
Andrew Jackson succeeded in blocking the renewal of the charter for the Second Bank of the United States. Following the loss of its charter, the Second Bank of the United States tried to operate as a normal bank but failed after just 5 years.
Two successive presidents opposed a private central bank, President Zachary Taylor and President James Buchanan. Both men were victims of poisoning. The first died and the second survived.
When the Confederacy seceded from the United States, the bankers once again saw the opportunity for a rich harvest of debt and offered to fund Lincoln’s efforts to bring the South back into the union, but at 30% interest. Abraham Lincoln remarked that he would not free the black man by enslaving the white man to the bankers and using his authority as President, issued a new government currency, the greenback. This was a direct threat to the wealth and power of the central bankers, who quickly responded.
In 1872 New York bankers sent a letter to every bank in the United States, urging them to fund newspapers that opposed government-issued money – Lincoln’s greenbacks. Goaded by the private bankers, much of Europe supported the Confederacy against the Union, with the expectation that victory over Lincoln would mean the end of the greenback. France and Britain considered an outright attack on the United States to aid the confederacy but were held at bay by Russia.
Left free of European intervention, the Union won the war, and Lincoln announced his intention to go on issuing greenbacks. Following Lincoln’s assassination, the greenbacks were pulled from circulation and the American people were forced to go back to an economy based on bank notes borrowed at interest from the private bankers.
With the end of Lincoln’s greenbacks, the US could no longer create its own interest-free money and was manipulated during the term of President Rutherford B. Hayes into borrowing from the Rothschilds’ banking system in 1878, restoring to the Rothschilds control of the US economy they had lost under Andrew Jackson.
James A. Garfield was elected President in 1880 on a platform of government control of the money supply. Garfield was shot on 2 July 1881 and died of his wounds several weeks later.
In 1896, William McKinley was elected President. He favoured gold-backed currencies and a balanced government budget which would free the public from accumulating debt. McKinley was shot by an out-of-work anarchist on 14 September 1901, succumbing to his wounds a few days later.
Aldrich Plan
In 1910, Senator Nelson Aldrich, Frank Vanderlip of National City (Citibank), Henry Davison of Morgan Bank, and Paul Warburg of the Kuhn, Loeb Investment House met secretly on Jekyll Island, Georgia, to formulate a plan for a US central bank, and created the Aldrich Plan, which called for a system of fifteen regional central banks, openly and directly controlled by Wall Street commercial banks. These banks would have the legal ability to create money out of thin air and represented an attempt to create a new Bank of the United States.
Due to the intense public opposition to the Aldrich Plan, the measure was defeated in the House of Representatives in 1912. One year later the bankers would be back.
Third Bank of the United States – The Federal Reserve
In 1913, the Private Central Bankers of Europe – in particular the Rothschilds of Great Britain and the Warburgs of Germany – met with their American financial collaborators once again on Jekyll Island, Georgia to form a new banking cartel with the express purpose of forcing the United States to accept a private central bank, with the aim of placing complete control of the United States money supply once again under the control of private bankers. Owing to hostility over the previous banks, the name was changed from the Third Bank of the United States to “The Federal Reserve.” It is a privately owned bank, no more “Federal” than Federal Express.
Later that same year, and apparently unwilling to risk another questionable amendment, Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act over the Christmas holiday in 1913, while members of Congress opposed to the measure were at home. President Woodrow Wilson signed it as he promised the bankers that he would in exchange for generous campaign contributions.
The next year, World War One started, and it is important to remember that before the creation of the Federal Reserve, there was no such thing as a world war.
World Wars
World War I
Although the war started between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, it quickly shifted to focus on Germany, whose industrial capacity was seen as an economic threat to Great Britain.
Although pre-war Germany had a private central bank, it was heavily restricted and inflation kept to reasonable levels. Under government control, investment was guaranteed to internal economic development, and Germany was seen as a major power. So, in the media of the day, Germany was portrayed as the prime opponent of World War I.
Following the Treaty of Versailles, a peace treaty ending the state of war between Germany and most of the allied powers, Germany was ordered to pay the war costs of all the participating nations, even though Germany had not actually started the war. This amounted to three times the value of all of Germany itself. Germany’s private central bank, to whom Germany had gone deeply into debt to pay the costs of the war, broke free of government control and massive inflation followed – mostly triggered by currency speculators – permanently trapping the German people in endless debt.
World War II
When the Weimar Republic collapsed economically, it opened the door for the National Socialists to take power. Their first financial move was to issue their own state currency which was not borrowed from private central bankers. Once again, Germany’s industrial output became a threat to Great Britain.
Germany’s state-issued value-based currency was also a direct threat to the wealth and power of the private central banks. As early as 1933 they started to organise a global boycott against Germany to strangle this upstart ruler who thought he could break free of private central bankers.
As had been the case in World War I, Great Britain and other nations threatened by Germany’s economic power looked for an excuse to go to war, and as public anger in Germany grew over the boycott, Hitler foolishly gave them that excuse.
Bretton Woods
Towards the end of World War II, when it became obvious that the allies were going to win and dictate the post-war environment, the major world economic powers met at Bretton Woods in July 1944 and hammered out the Bretton Woods agreement for international finance. The British Pound lost its position as the global trade and reserve currency to the US dollar (part of the price demanded by Roosevelt in exchange for the US entry into the war). Absent the economic advantages of being the world’s “go-to” currency, Britain was forced to nationalise the Bank of England in 1946.
Executive Order 11110
President, John F. Kennedy understood the predatory nature of private central banking. He understood why Andrew Jackson fought so hard to end the Second Bank of the United States. So, Kennedy wrote and signed Executive Order 11110 which ordered the US Treasury to issue a new public currency, the United States Note. Five months later John F. Kennedy was assassinated and the United States Notes were pulled from circulation and destroyed. Kennedy’s EO 11110 has never been repealed and is still in effect, although no modern President dares to use it. Almost all of the current national debt has been created since 1963.
Wilderness Zones and the Petrodollar
The nations that ratified Bretton Woods did so on two conditions. One of the conditions was that the US dollar would always be convertible to gold at $35 per ounce.
By 1966, the IMF estimated foreign central banks held $14 billion US dollars, however, the United States had only $3.2 billion in gold to redeem those paper notes. So, on 15 August 1971, Richard Nixon “temporarily” suspended the gold convertibility of the US Federal Reserve Notes. This move effectively ended Bretton Woods and many global currencies started to delink from the US dollar.
(Related: Canada, United States, British Empire and a New World Order and Did the Bilderberg Group orchestrate the 1973 oil crisis?)
Foreign nations began to get very nervous about their loans to the US and understandably were reluctant to loan any additional money to the United States without some form of collateral. So, Richard Nixon started the environmental movement, with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and its various programs – such as “wilderness zones,” “roadless areas,” “heritage rivers” and “wetlands” – all of which took vast areas of public lands and made them off limits to the American people who were technically the owners of those lands.
But Nixon had little concern for the environment and the real purpose of this land grab under the guise of the environment was to pledge those pristine lands and their vast mineral resources as collateral on the national debt.
With open lands for collateral already in short supply, the US Government embarked on a new program to shore up sagging international demand for the dollar. The United States approached the world’s oil-producing nations, mostly in the Middle East, and offered them a deal.
In exchange for only selling their oil for dollars, the United States would guarantee the military safety of those oil-rich nations. The oil-rich nations would agree to spend and invest their US paper dollars inside the US, in particular in US Treasury Bonds, redeemable through the slave labour of future generations of US taxpayers. The concept was labelled the “petrodollar.” In effect, the US, no longer able to back the dollar with gold, was now backing it with oil. Other peoples’ oil. And that necessity to keep control over those oil nations to prop up the dollar has shaped America’s foreign policy in the region ever since.
Iraq, already hostile to the United States following Desert Storm, demanded the right to sell their oil for Euros in 2000. In 2002, the United Nations agreed to allow it under the “Oil for Food” programme. One year later the US re-invaded Iraq under the lie of Saddam’s nuclear weapons, lynched Saddam Hussein, and placed Iraq’s oil back on the world market only for US dollars.
Over in Libya, Muammar Gaddafi had instituted a state-owned central bank and a value-based trade currency, the Gold Dinar. Gaddafi announced that Libya’s oil was for sale but only for the Gold Dinar. Other African nations, seeing the rise of the Gold Dinar and the Euro, even as the US dollar continued its inflation-driven decline, flocked to the new Libyan currency for trade. This move had the potential to seriously undermine the global hegemony of the dollar.
So, the United States invaded Libya, brutally murdered Qaddafi, imposed a private central bank and returned Libya’s oil output to dollars only. The gold that was to have been made into the Gold Dinars, 144 tonnes of it, is, as of the last report, unaccounted for.
Emails surfacing as part of the investigation into Hilary Clinton‘s use of a private email server for classified information confirmed that the real reason for the US invasion of Libya was to destroy the threat of the Gold Dinar becoming a pan-African currency, displacing the dollar. (See Wikileaks Hillary Clinton Email Archive.)
According to General Wesley Clark, the master plan for the “dollarification” of the world’s oil nations included seven targets, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. Venezuela, which dared to sell its oil to China for the Yuan, is a late addition.
What is notable about the original seven nations targeted by the US is that none of them are members of the Bank for International Settlements, the private central bankers’ private central bank located in Switzerland. This meant that these nations were deciding for themselves how to run their nations’ economies rather than submit to the international private banks.

Chris Rufo Stunning video exposes how trans activists conquered American life
Stunning video exposes how trans activists 'conquered American life'
'One of the most sophisticated ideological pipelines in politics'
Peter LaBarbera By Peter LaBarbera
Published July 11, 2023 at 8:44pm
A new, powerful, concise video by investigative journalist Christopher Rufo exposes the monied interests, activist intellectuals and influential doctors behind the aggressive "trans" revolution in America.
The video, "The Transgender Empire: How the trans movement conquered American life," is produced by the Manhattan Institute and published on Rufo's Substack page, as well as YouTube. Rufo is a senior fellow at the institute and one of the nation's leading authorities on (trans)"gender ideology," its "queer theory" foundation, and "critical race theory," or CRT.
"This is the great project of the transgender movement: to abolish the distinctions of man and woman, to transcend the limitations established by creation, to hitch the personal struggle of trans individuals to the political struggle of revolution," says Rufo, summarizing the fanatical aims of early transgender theorists. "All of society must be reorganized to affirm their identities, and more importantly, their politics."
His video is a secular primer of sorts for those wanting to understand how America arrived at the point where radical transgender ideology – once relegated to fringe discussions on left-dominated college campuses – would hold such a grip on the nation that most major hospitals, big corporations, schools and even the White House under the Democrat Party, would do its bidding.
A war against Western society
Rufo exposes the quasi-Marxist nature of trans ideology and "queer theory." He quotes "queer" theorist Susan Stryker (a man attempting to live as a woman), who argues that "the transsexual body is a technological construction that represents a war against Western society," Rufo explains.
"I am a transsexual, and therefore I am a monster," Stryker is quoted as writing in his "Trans Movement Manifesto." Rufo continues: "And this body, Stryker says, is destined to channel its rage and revenge against the 'naturalized heterosexual order,' against 'traditional family values,' and against the 'hegemonic oppression' of nature itself."
"There's something important to understand here," Rufo says, "the transgender movement is inherently political, using the construction of personal identity to advance a collective political vision. ... Some transgender activists even believe their movement represents the future of Marxism. In a collection of essays titled 'Transgender Marxism,' Rosa Lee argues that trans people can serve as the new vanguard of the proletariat, promising to abolish heteronormativity in the same way that orthodox Marxism promised to abolish capitalism."

School-to-gender-clinic pipeline
In a section called, "The School-to-Gender-Clinic pipeline, Rufo asks: "So how did the trans movement suddenly move from the fringes to the center of public life?" His answer: "Because they built one of the most sophisticated ideological pipelines in American politics."
He hones in on the funding of "gender transitions" and trans activism flowing from the wealth of the Pritzker family in Illinois, highlighting Jennifer Pritzker, born James Pritzker, who "inherited a sizeable part of the Hyatt Hotel fortune." "Almost immediately" after his 2013 transsexual "gender transition," Pritzker "began donating untold millions to universities, schools, hospitals and activist organizations to promote queer theory and trans medical experiments."
Meanwhile, his cousin, Illinois' Democrat governor, J.B. Pritzker, "signed legislation pushing radical gender theory in the state education curriculum and directing state Medicaid funds towards transgender surgeries."
Rufo continues: "Here's how the scheme works in practice: [Gov.] Pritzker-funded activists at Chicago's largest children's hospital provide local schools with training, materials and personnel promoting child gender transitions, using the reputation of the hospital to provide their ideology with a scientific veneer." He describes how materials he has uncovered through Lurie Children's Hospital's "gender" programs "exposed children not only to trans ideology, but to kink, BDSM [sadomasochism], breast binders, and artificial penis packers."
"The goal, according to the Children's Hospital, is to disrupt entrenched norms in Western society and to guide vulnerable students towards transgender medicine as the cure," Rufo states. "The result is a sophisticated school-to-gender-clinic pipeline. Teachers, counselors, doctors, and influencers, many of whom are governed or subsidized by members of the Pritzker family, all push kids towards the science and politics of transgenderism."
'Poor, black, traumatized youth' targeted
The next section of the video, "The Synthesis of All Oppressions," describes how the pro-transgender network is targeting one of the poorest cities near Detroit, Highland Park, through the well-funded Ruth Ellis Center, "Metro Detroit's central laboratory for the synthesis of transgender science and politics."
"The Center's marketing pitch is an amalgam of all the fashionable left-wing buzzwords: trauma-informed care, restorative justice, harm reduction, racial equity, and gender-affirming care," he states. After playing an excerpt of a pediatrician explaining trans procedures, Rufo sates: "Keep in mind, these are not the white, affluent, educated male-to-female trans individuals who are the public face of the movement. These are poor, black, traumatized youth from the furthest reaches of the Detroit ghetto. They suffer from enormously high rates of family breakdown, substance abuse, mental illness, and suicidal behavior. And they're told that gender transition, the latest promise of therapeutic liberalism, will solve all their problems."
"The most elite members of our society, affluent, highly educated, left-wing female doctors, are using the marvels of modern medicine to manufacture the ultimate oppression: the poor black trans woman," he says. "The doctors at the Ellis Center have created the new face of the proletariat, the highest authority in the intersectional hierarchy, and they've embedded the revolution into the very biology of their patients."
In the final part of the video, titled, "Frankenstein's Nihilism," Rufo exposes the shocking reality of trans "surgeries," including one called "nullification": "In this procedure, doctors perform a castration ... on the patient, then create a smooth, continuous skin covering from the abdomen to the groin, reducing the genitalia to nothing."
"This barbaric procedure is the perfect symbol for the ideology itself. Nullification is the pursuit of the Latin nullam, meaning nothing, and that is exactly where trans ideology ends. A profound nihilism that denies human nature and enables barbarism in the name of progress."
The YouTube video breaks "Transgender Empire" into four sections for easier viewing.
Below is a May 2022 interview by then-Fox host Tucker Carlson with Rufo: IMPORTANT NOTE: It's hard to believe it's really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women's competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women's prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women's locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women's scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current "mass hysteria" craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel "persistently sad or hopeless" and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left's renewed obsession with killing women's unborn babies via abortion.

WOW King Randall excellent young man in Albany Georgia DONATE
The world needs more men like King Randall, I. Real men, true gentlemen, to be specific. For those not yet fortunate enough to know of King Randall, he has been on a God-driven mission to save young black men in the impoverished town of Albany, GA, since 2018, at just 19 years of age. He bought his first school bus in 2021. Despite numerous obstacles, The Life Preparatory School for Boys, a boarding school, officially wrapped up its successful first year this spring—thanks to this young man and his laser-focused determination to offer hope and change lives. Indeed, Randall—who has moved the X For Boys from his kitchen table to a huge The Life Preparatory School for Boys facility capable of transforming the futures of hundreds of young boys—is a real-life hero who leads by example.
During the first year of The Life Preparatory School for Boys, the school dealt with multiple setbacks, including individuals calling the fire department to shut them down and the city of Albany attempting to throw them out of their building. Yet, as with all things rooted in God—goodness and love prevailed. The school forged through the year with many boys, including a 13-year-old former gang member who had been shot, making the honor roll and, most likely for the first time, experiencing a life-changing sense of inner pride. Typing those words makes tears come to my eyes.
UncoverDC has followed King Randall’s extraordinary mission to save young black boys for years. Without fail, Randall has never wavered from setting a good example, and today, June 26, 2023, is no different. In what is clearly, at least in part, a personal attack against him, we learned that Randall has taken the high road even after intruders vandalized and attempted to destroy his school. Waiting over a week to speak publicly about the deliberate destruction of the school, Randall shared that he didn’t want to talk about what happened. He wanted to keep doing what he does best, noting that he “just wanted to keep moving” forward. Still, his team urged him to let the public know. Thus, today he tweeted:
“Last Sunday, I came to check on our school, and everything was fine. We came to play basketball with our summer program students on Wednesday and saw a window was broken into.
I entered the building and heard noises. I’m seeing almost everything deliberately destroyed.
I held the intruders at gunpoint until the police arrived.
Sinks were pulled out of the walls, toilets smashed, glass busted everywhere, uniforms and merchandise destroyed, etc.
A few things were stolen, but it was personal. They took a picture of me and threw it in the alley.“
Sharing that he feels sure the attack was coordinated, Randall said the school’s main logo on the school wall was destroyed, sinks were pulled loose from walls, and doors were ripped from hinges. The destruction apparent in the pictures shared on Twitter is unfathomable. Who would intentionally destroy a school making such a positive impact? Besides the sheer destruction to the facility and its contents, Randall remarked that given the nature of the items stolen, it is difficult to believe that the three individuals he caught acted alone.
Immediately after Randall shared the news of the vandalism on Twitter, he shifted his focus back to the well-being of his boys, which is where it has stayed from day one. Besides the school’s fantastic curriculum, the first year of The Life Preparatory School for Boys incorporated Bible study, book clubs, gardening, and daily exercise, among other things. His boys are leading happier, healthier lives together. They have lost weight and have gotten off of dangerous ADHD medications. Most importantly, they are learning to love themselves and be positive members of society.
And it is all because of one young man who cares about them and wants to teach them how to be upstanding men—good sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers. Each of them ultimately becoming upstanding protectors and providers for their communities. Randall knows how vital these character traits are for the future of our nation. And he’s not afraid to talk about how they’re being intentionally destroyed. Having compassion for the vandals and boasting about his boys right after sharing the unfortunate news, Randall was again thinking forward, tweeting:
“Thankfully, we’re still able to operate out of our office building and no one was hurt in this process.
I may get pushback for saying this, but I honestly felt sorry for one of them. He’s going through a divorce and has a son and he started to become remorseful. I looked him up and I just got sad at the entire situation in general.
I know everyone is asking about rebuilding etc. Right now, my focus remains on getting the tuition covered for the rest of our students. We live in one of the poorest cities in the country. Their parents cannot afford it.”
As I mentioned, the world needs more real men like King Randall, I. We thank him for his unwavering efforts to positively shape the lives of every young man whose life he touches. Undoubtedly, Albany, GA, should be thanking him, too.

Mike Benz How the Censorship Industry Works, and How We Can Stop It Dr Mercola
This is long, absolutely MUST WATCH
June 11, 2023 in Dr. Joseph Mercola, Videos
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The internet was likely not intended to remain free forever. The intention for it to be used as a totalitarian tool was baked in from the start
Google started as a DARPA grant and was part of the CIA’s and NSA’s digital data program, the purpose of which was to conduct “birds of a feather” mapping online so that certain groups could be neutralized
All of the early internet freedom technologies of the ‘90s were funded by the Pentagon and the State Department. They were developed by the intelligence community as an insurgency tool — a means to help dissident groups in foreign countries to develop a pro-U.S. stance and evade state-controlled media. Now, these same technologies have been turned against the American public, and are used to control public discourse
In the past, censorship was a laborious task that could only be done after the fact. Artificial intelligence has radically altered the censorship industry. AI programs can now censor information en masse, based on the language used, and prevent it from being seen at all
One of the most effective strategies that would have immediate effect would be to strip the censorship industry of its government funding. The House controls the purse strings of the federal government, so the House Appropriations Committee has the power to end the funding of government-sponsored censorship
In this video, I interview Mike Benz, executive director for the Foundation for Freedom Online. Benz started off as a corporate lawyer representing tech and media companies before joining the Trump administration, where he worked as a speech writer for Dr. Ben Carson, the former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and President Trump.
Concerned about your life’s savings as the banking crisis decimates retirement accounts? You’re not alone. Find out how Genesis Precious Metals can help you secure your wealth with a proper self-directed IRA backed by physical precious metals.
He also advised on economic development policy. He then joined the State Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Technology. There, he ran the cyber desks at state, meaning all things having to do with the internet and foreign policy.
“This is toward the end of 2020, which was a really fascinating time to witness the merger, in many respects, of big government and big tech companies themselves,” he says. “I had grown up, I think, like many Americans, with a belief that the First Amendment protected you against government censorship.
The terms of engagement that we had enjoyed from 1991, when the worldwide web rolled out, until 2016, the election in the U.S. and Brexit in the U.K., which is, really, the first political event where the election was determined, in many respects, by momentum on the internet.
There was that 25-year golden period where the idea of being censored by a private sector company, let alone the government, was considered something, to me, very deeply anathema to the American experience.
What I witnessed at the State Department — because I was at the desk, basically, that Google and Facebook would call when they wanted favors abroad, when they wanted American protection or American policies to preserve their dominance in Europe, or in Asia or in Latin America.
And the U.S. government was doing favors for these tech companies while the tech companies were censoring the people who voted for the government. It was a complete betrayal of whatever social contract typically underlies the public-private partnership.”
The Internet Was Founded by the National Security State
Ostensibly, the rapid expansion of censorship started post-2016, but you can make a strong argument that the internet was never intended to remain free forever. Rather, the intention for it to be used as a totalitarian tool was likely baked in from the start when the national security state founded it in 1968.
The worldwide web, which is the user interface, was launched in 1991, and my suspicion is that the public internet was seeded and allowed to grow in order to capture and make the most of the population dependent upon it, knowing that it would be the most effective social engineering tool ever conceived. Benz comments:
“I totally agree … A lot of people, in trying to understand what’s happening with the net censorship, say ‘We had this free internet, and then suddenly there was this age of censorship and the national security state got involved at the censorship side.’
But when you retrace the history, internet freedom itself was actually a national security state imperative. The internet itself is a product of a counterinsurgency necessity by the Pentagon to manage information during the 1960s, particularly to aggregate social science data. And then, it was privatized.
Opening it up to all comers in the private sector, it was handed off from DARPA [the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency] to the National Science Foundation, and then went through a series of universities on the infrastructure side.
And then, right out of the gate in 1991, you had the Cold War coming to an end, and then simultaneously, you had this profusion of Pentagon-funded internet freedom technologies. You had things like VPNs, encrypted chat, TOR.
All of the early internet freedom technologies of the ‘90s were funded by the Pentagon, the State Department, and developed by the intelligence community, primarily, as a way of using internet freedom as a means to help dissident groups in foreign countries be able to develop a pro-U.S. beachhead, because it was a way to evade state-controlled media.
This was, basically, an insurgency tool for the U.S. government, in the same way that Voice of America and Radio Free Liberty, and Radio Free Europe were tools of the CIA in the Cold War, to beam in, basically, pro-U.S. content to populations in foreign countries in order to sway them towards U.S. interests. It was a way of managing the world empire.
The internet served the same purpose, and it couldn’t be done if it was called a Pentagon operation, a State Department or CIA operation. But all of the tech companies themselves are products of that. Google started as a DARPA grant that was obtained at Stanford by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
In 1995, they were part of the CIA and NSA’s [National Security Agency’s] massive digital data program. They had their monthly meetings with their CIA and NSA advisers for that program, where the express stated purpose was for the CIA and NSA to be able to map so-called ‘Birds of a feather’ online … so that they could be neutralized.”
How It All Began
As noted by Benz, the idea of having the intelligence community map political “Birds of a Feather” communities in order to either mobilize or neutralize them was (and still is) justified in the name of counterterrorism. Nowadays, as we’ve seen during the pandemic, it’s used to control public discourse, suppress truth, and promote propaganda angles.
A Wake Up Call For Patriots
The technology used to control public discourse is an artificial intelligence (AI) technique called natural language processing (NLP). It’s a way of aggregating everyone who believes a certain thing online into community databases based on the words they use, the hashtags, the slogans and images.
“Emerging narratives, all manner of metadata affiliations, all that can be aggregated to create a topographical network map of what you believe in and who you’re associated with, so that it can all be turned down in a fast, precise and comprehensive manner by content moderation teams, because they’re all birds of the same feather,” Benz explains.
“The fact that this grew out of the U.S. National Security state, which is running the show, essentially, today, to me says that there’s a continuation between the internet freedom and internet censorship. They simply switched from one side of the chess board to the other.”
What Is the National Security State?
For clarity, when Benz talks about the “National Security State,” what he’s referring to are the institutions that uphold the rules-based international order. Domestically, that includes the Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), certain aspects of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the 17 intelligence agencies.
Of those, the Pentagon, State Department and the intelligence community (IC) are the three central ones that have managed the American world empire since the 1940s. None of them are supposed to be able to operate domestically, but in a sense their power has expanded so much that they essentially control domestic affairs.
As explained by Benz, the Pentagon, State Department and IC are not supposed to be able to operate domestically. “But in a sense, they really control domestic affairs, because their power has expanded so much that they’ve developed an extraordinary laundering apparatus to be able to fund international institutions that then boomerang back home and effectively control much of domestic political affairs, including discourse on the internet.”
With 90% of ingredients in pharmaceuticals coming from Communist China, the risk of a medical supply chain crisis has never been greater. Secure five types of antibiotics to have ready when you need. Use promo code “Rucker10” for $10 off.
As for the CIA, it was created in 1947 under the National Security Act. It was created as a cloak-and-dagger mechanism, to do things the State Department wanted done but couldn’t get caught doing due to the diplomatic repercussions — things like election rigging, assassinations, media control, bribery and other subversion tactics.
The Birth of Hybrid Warfare
Benz continues his explanation of how and why internet censorship emerged when it did:
“So, there’s the U.S. National Security State, and then there’s the transatlantic one involving NATO. The story of Western government involvement in internet censorship really started after the 2014 Crimea annexation, which was the biggest foreign policy humiliation of the Obama era.
Atlanta’s School of Foreign Policy was deeply inflamed by this event and blamed the fact that there were these breakaway Russia-supporting entities in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea on a failure to penetrate their media, and this idea that hearts and minds were being swung towards the Russian side because of pro-Russian content online.
NATO then declared this doctrine of so-called hybrid warfare — this idea that Russia had won Crimea not by a military annexation, but by winning, illicitly in a sense, the hearts and minds of Crimeans through the use of their propaganda. And the doctrine of hybrid warfare, born in 2014, was this idea that war was no longer a kinetic thing.
There hadn’t been a kinetic war in Europe since World War II. Instead, it had moved sub-kinetic into the hearts and minds of the people. In fact, NATO announced a doctrine after 2014 called ‘From tanks to tweets,’ where it shifted its focus, explicitly, from kinetic warfare to social media opinions online.
Brexit, which happened in June 2016 … was blamed on Russian influence as well. And so all of these institutions that argued for control over the internet in Eastern Europe said, ‘Well, it needs to come now. Now it’s an all-of-Europe thing.’
When Trump was then elected five months later, explicitly contemplating the breakup of NATO, all hell broke loose. This idea that we need to censor the internet went from being something that was touchy and novel, in the view of Pentagon brass and State Department folks, to something that was totally essential to saving the entire rules-based international order that came out of World War II.
At the time, the reasoning was, Brexit, in the U.K., was going to give rise to Frexit, in France, with Marine Le Pen and her movement there. Matteo Salvini was going to cause Italexit In Italy, there’d be Grexit in Greece, Spexit in Spain, and the entire European Union would come undone, just because these right-wing populist parties would naturally vote their way into political power.
They would vote for working-class, cheap energy policies that would make them more closely aligned with Russia naturally, because of the cheaper oil prices, or cheaper gas prices. Then, suddenly, you’ve got no EU, you’ve got no NATO, and then, you’ve got no Western military alliance.
So, from that moment, after Trump’s election, immediately, there was this diplomatic roadshow by U.S. State Department officials, who all thought they were getting promotions in November 2016. They thought they were going to get promoted from the State Department to the National Security Council. Turns out, they all got fired, because someone with a 5% chance of winning ended up winning that day.
So, they took their international connections, their international networks around the Atlanta Council, the Council on Foreign Relations, the entire think tank, quasi-intelligence, quasi-military, government-funded NGO soup, and they did this international roadshow, starting in January 2017, to convince European countries to start censoring their internet …
Out of that came NetzDG [Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz, the Network Enforcement Act] in Germany, which introduced a necessity of artificial intelligence-powered social media censorship.
All of that was, essentially, spearheaded by this network of State Department and Pentagon folks who then used their own internal folks in the government to procure government grants and contracts to these same entities. Eventually, they all rotated into those tech companies to set the policies as well.”
Threat From Within
So, to summarize, the infrastructure for worldwide internet censorship was largely established by IC veterans who were forced out by the Trump administration, and that infrastructure was then used to catalyze the international censorship response during COVID in late 2019, early 2020. Benz continues:
“Right. And those veterans were not alone. The full story is not just the shadow security state and exile. The fact is this. The Trump administration never had control of its own defense department, State Department or intelligence community.
It was the intelligence community that, essentially, drove his first impeachment, that drove a two-and-a-half year special prosecutor investigation that rolled up 12 to 20 of Trump’s closest associates. You had a chief of staff there who was hiding the military figures from the government. The careers at state threatened the political appointees from the inside. I experienced that myself.
This permanent aspect of Washington, with unfireable careers in high places, combined with a turf war in the GOP [Republican Party] between the populist right and the neo-conservative right, with the neo-conservative right having many well-placed Republicans in the Defense Department, State Department, in IC, to thwart the previous president’s agenda there, allowed this political network and exile, on the censorship side, to work with their allies within the government to create these censorship beach heads.
So, for example, that’s how they created the Department of Homeland Security’s … first permanent government censorship bureau in the form of this entity called CISA [the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, founded in November 2018], which is supposed to just be a cybersecurity entity.
It was done because of media and intelligence community laundering of a never-substantiated claim that Russia had potentially hacked the 2016 election, hacked the election machines or voting software, or might be able to do so in the future, and so we need a robust armed-to-the-teeth DHS unit to protect our cybersecurity from the Russians.
It’s the mission creep of the century. After the Mueller probe ended in June 2019, this unit, CISA, within DHS [Department of Homeland Security] — which had set up all of this, and which is only supposed to do cybersecurity — said ‘Well, if you squint and look at it, discourse online is a cybersecurity threat because if it undermines public faith or confidence in our elections, and it’s done using a cyber nexus, i.e., social media post, then that’s a form of cybersecurity threat, because democracy is essential to our security.’
And so you went from this cybersecurity mission to a cyber censorship bureau, because if you tweeted something about mail-in ballots in the 2020 election, that was deemed to be a cyber attack on critical infrastructure, i.e., elections.
When they got away with that in 2020, DHS then said, ‘Well, if you squint and look at it, public health is also critical infrastructure.’ So, now, DHS gets to direct social media companies to censor opinions about COVID-19.
Then they worked their way into saying the same thing about financial systems, financial services, about the Ukraine war, about immigration. It got to the point where, by late 2022, the head of CISA declared that cognitive infrastructure is critical infrastructure.”
Cracks only appeared after Republicans got a majority in the House of Representatives in November 2022 and Elon Musk acquired Twitter. Public support for government also dwindled as Musk’s release of the Twitter Files revealed the extent of government’s involvement in the censoring of Americans.
So far, though, public awareness hasn’t changed anything. The very entities that once stood for internet freedom, like the National Science Foundation, are still actively funding and furthering government censorship activities.
AI Gives Censors God-Like Powers
Benz first became “gripped by the stakes of what was happening on the internet” in August 2016, after reading a series of papers discussing the use of NLP to monitor, surveil and regulate the distribution of information on social media based on the words used.
“DARPA provided tens of millions of dollars of funding for this language processing, this language chunking capacity of AI in order, ostensibly, to stop ISIS recruiting on Facebook and Twitter,” Benz says.
“As part of the predicate for putting military boots on the ground in Syria, there was a lot of talk about ISIS coming to the U.S., and they were recruiting on Facebook and Twitter. And so the Pentagon, DARPA and the IC developed this language spyware capacity to map the dialectic of how ISIS sympathizers talk online, the words they use, the images they share, the prefixes, the suffixes, all the different community connections.
And then, I saw that this was being done for purposes of domestic political control instead of foreign counterterrorism, and the power that it has. It is what totally changed the internet forever. Before 2016, there was not the technological capacity to do mass social media censorship. That was the age of what censorship insiders like to call the whack-a-mole era. Censorship was reactive.
It was done by forum, by moderators, essentially. Everything had to be flagged manually before it could be taken down, which meant millions of people had already seen it, or it had already gone viral, it had already done its damage, so to speak, and you were just cutting off the backend with an act of censorship.
You could never have a permanent control apparatus in that setting, because there would always be a first mover advantage to whoever posted it. What AI censorship technology breakthroughs enabled after 2016 was a kind of nuclear weapon, if you will, on the censorship side, to be able to end the war immediately.
You don’t need a standing army of 100,000 people to censor COVID. You need one good developer, working with one manic social scientist who spends her entire life mapping what Dr. Mercola says online, and what he’s talking about this week, what his followers are saying, what they’re saying about this drug, or what they’re saying about this vaccine, or what they’re saying about this institution.
All of that can be cataloged into a lexicon of how you talk. And then, all of that talk can just be turned down to zero. At the same time, they can super amplify the language that they themselves are doing. So it gives a God-like control to a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of people who can then use that to control the discourse of the entire population.
What’s also so terrifying about the National Security State’s involvement in this is, when they discovered the power of this by mid-2018, they began to roll it out to every other country in the world for purposes of political control there — to the Ghana desk, to the Ecuador desk, to Southeast Asia, all over Europe.”
Can We Get Out of the Grip of Censorship?
At the time of this writing, we’re in a lull. The COVID pandemic has been declared over and aside from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there are no major political crises going on that warrant heavy censorship. The networks and technologies for radical suppression are already in place, however, and can be turned up at a moment’s notice.
We’ve also recently seen just how easy it is for alternative media to be infiltrated and upended, so the fact that there are alternative platforms doesn’t guarantee that future censorship efforts will fail.

“There are so many threat vectors,” Benz says. “There are a lot of questions about what’s going on, for example, at Project Veritas, with how quickly it ousted James O’Keefe after releasing the most viral video ever, on Pfizer. It was about one week later — after their biggest accomplishment, perhaps, ever — that it was totally overthrown.
A similar thing has happened with Fox News with [the firing of] Tucker Carlson, the most popular cable TV host in the country — the guy who gets three times more concurrent viewership than CNN, in the opposing spot. Institutions can absolutely be penetrated and co-opted when enough pressure is applied.”
Transatlantic Flank Attack 2.0 Underway
As mentioned earlier, the U.S. censorship really began with NATO. Benz refers to this as the transatlantic flank attack. Basically, when U.S. intelligence want to impact the internet domestically, they first work with their European partners to enact regulatory changes in Europe first. This then ends up spilling into the U.S. market, and the IC appears to have had nothing to do with it.
The first transatlantic flank attack took place in early 2017 with the NetzDG. We’re now under transatlantic attack again, through the Digital Markets Act. This law, Benz says, will make it very difficult for Rumble and other free speech platforms to maintain that posture during the next pandemic. Once these platforms are forced to comply with the Digital Markets Act on the European side, the changes will be felt everywhere.
Cause for Cautious Optimism
While Benz remains hopeful that solutions to global censorship will present themselves, he still recognizes that the forces at play are enormous and the risks are high.
“It’s one of these things where the more you see what we’re up against, the more sobering it becomes. I think you need to maintain hope in order to maintain energy, to maintain momentum. With momentum, weird things can happen, even if you’re not supposed to win. Strange things break, or take a life of their own, or resurface.
All the little weaknesses of the system get tested, simply by a momentum here and there. For example, Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is probably the reason that the GOP got over the hump in doing all of these congressional investigations into the government’s role in censorship.
They felt like they had an ally at Twitter, that they had billionaire backing. There was a waterfall, cascade impact. So, I am hopeful. DHS is on the run right now. They purged their website of all their domestic censorship operations that they listed and were loud and proud about for two whole years after the catastrophe of the disinformation governance board in April 2022.
They already had a Ministry of Truth at DHS. They just gave one hypothetical board the wrong name. They didn’t call it the CISA. They made the mistake of calling it by the right name, and that’s what ended the entire political support for the underlying apparatus.
So, the importance of an Orwellian name is essential for maintaining the political support. But I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m hopeful, and I’m honored to be a part of this rebel fleet of folks trying to take on the empire behind the censorship situation.
But having seen, in so many iterations the toolkit they use, it is a medieval torture toolkit that can do strange things. Pressure can do strange things, even to great people. And so I’m cautiously optimistic.”
Essential Internet Backbone Is Not Politically Neutral
In my view, internet decentralization is one key innovation that could break the grip of censorship. That said, other aspects, such as cybersecurity, must also be reinvented.
Dean Cain
CloudFlare, for example, a content delivery and cloud cybersecurity service, basically controls the internet because they protect online businesses and platforms from hackers using Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Without it, you cannot survive online if you’re a big business. Even with a decentralized internet, CloudFlare might still be able to exert control by leaving sites open to DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks.
Disturbingly, CloudFlare got political for the first time after 2016, when it decided to remove protection from a site called Kiwi Farms, which expressed anti-transgender views. As a result, the site had to move over to a Russian server to get back online.
Basically, U.S. citizens had to look for internet freedom in Russia because their architecture could not be supported in the U.S. — all because a government-integrated backbone of the internet made a political decision, likely at the behest of the IC.
“If there is another pandemic, for example, and there’s a push for certain medical interventions or countermeasures that certain sites don’t go along with, the CloudFlare, absolutely, could be a weapon in that respect,” Benz says.
“One of the things I found so troubling is that CISA, this DHS censorship agency, after the 2020 election set up a private sector liaison subcommittee for mis- and disinformation policies in the private sector. It was a seven-person subcommittee, with all of the top censorship experts at the University of Washington and Stanford.
Vijaya Gadde, the former head of censorship at Twitter, was a part of this board. I thought it was very troubling that the CEO of CloudFlare was also one of the seven people on the DHS censorship board.”
Major Challenges to a Decentralized Internet
Benz continues:
New Research Connects The Spike Protein To Long Haul Covid
“To proceed to the various challenges to a decentralized internet, when you move up the stack of censorship … they can move up to cloud servers, to payment processors, and even to things like CloudFlare and your infrastructure protection.
In the early era of censorship, there was a rebuttal by censorship advocates that if you don’t like what private sector companies are doing, start your own social media companies. Build your own Google, build your own YouTube, build your own Facebook, build your own Twitter.
And then, what started to happen as censorship got completely insane, when it went from being troubling to disturbing, to saturating … you started to see these alternative social media platforms like Gab and Parler … that tried to escape the content moderation policies with Big Tech. But what started to happen is, those social media companies, like Parler, were completely destroyed.
Parler was de-platformed from, basically, the entire internet, when the president had just moved there, after being kicked off Twitter. That was a very instructive moment, and one that censorship insiders have reflected on, I should say, many, times as a moment of, ‘Should we have done that? We did it, but it costs us a lot of political capital.’
Parler was kicked off of Amazon Web Services. They were kicked off of all of the banks. They were banned from email providers. They could not hook to the internet, essentially, to even maintain the ability to post anything there. So, it went from build your own social media company to build your own bank.
Now you need to build your own bank and get a banking license for the payment processors. You need to build your own email distribution. You need to build your own cloud servers.
You need to build your own software service providers. And, eventually, are you going to need to lay your own subsea cables across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? The social media companies didn’t invent the internet. They are superimposed on Pentagon infrastructure.”
The House Needs to Defund the Censorship Industry
Without doubt, there will be another crisis, whether it be another pandemic or war or something else, that will send the censorship machine into full gear yet again. Right now we’re in a lull, so this is the time to think ahead and get prepared. The question is, what can we do? How do we prepare and fight back?
According to Benz, one of the most effective strategies that would have immediate effect, and could be done right now, would be to strip the censorship industry of its government funding. He explains:
“Right now, there’s a Republican controlled House. The advantage of the House is that it controls appropriations, the purse strings of the federal government. If the House Appropriations Committee took seriously the government subsidization of censorship networks in the private sector, you could defund the speech police, even though, on the AI side, it only takes one good coder to be able to take out an entire political philosophy.
The fact is, they can only do that job because of an army of social science folks across 45 different U.S. colleges and universities who get paid. There are tens of thousands of them who are paid through the National Science Foundation, through DARPA grants and State Department grants, to map communities online as a matter of social science, and then provide that to the computer scientist to censor it.
My foundation, the Foundation for Freedom Online, has detailed $100 million, just in the past 18 months, that have gone from the federal government institutions directly into social media censorship insiders. Censorship is not an act anymore, it’s an industry, and you can cripple their capacity building.
When you pump it full of money, you go from having a couple of people do it, to tens of thousands of people doing it. The censorship capacity is built on an infrastructure of an industry that relies on government to pay for it, and it relies on government to spearhead their penetration into the institutions.
Right now, there are about eight different congressional committees trying to solve this problem from different aspects. I’ve personally briefed eight different congressional committees … But only a few of those committees are taking it seriously enough to pursue the issue deeply, and where that will shake out remains uncertain.
CISA worked with dozens of social media companies and private sector cutouts to launder censorship from the government into the private sector, but the institution I worked with more than anyone was the University of Stanford, the Stanford Internet Observatory in particular.
Jim Jordan’s Weaponization Subcommittee just subpoenaed Stanford for what I call the perfectly preserved First Amendment crime scene. Stanford meticulously kept logs of all of its censorship activities with government officials for the COVID-19 pandemic, and for two election cycles.
They detailed 66 narratives that they censored online, having to do with everything about vaccines, efficacy of masks, opposition to lockdown mandates. And then, they had a fourth category for conspiracy theories, basically anything that someone said about the World Economic Forum, or Bill Gates.
They’re now refusing to comply with that subpoena. But the stakes keep getting escalated, because who’s going to enforce that subpoena? Steve Bannon, regardless of your opinion of him, just got indicted for not complying with a subpoena, but is this Justice Department going to pursue criminal penalties against Stanford, for withholding congressional subpoena for their government?
This is for their government, because they were the formal partners. They had a formal partnership with the DHS. That stuff should be FOIA-able, first of all. You shouldn’t even need a subpoena for it. The only reason you can’t FOIA it is because they laundered it through Stanford. Standord holds the records rather than DHS.
I tried to FOIA that from DHS, and DHS says, ‘We don’t have it, even though they were our communications.’ So this is the way the CIA structures in an operation, through a web of cutouts and offshore banks, so you can never really get transparency. They’re now doing that for the censorship industry at home …
Whether they will continue to raise the stakes is now a terrifying open issue. And the fact that it’s the inside guys who are running the censorship situation means there may be other tactics that need to be pursued here, which is why I talked about, simply, going to the appropriations committee and zeroing it out, so you don’t even need to enforce subpoenas, necessarily.”
Building a Whole-of-Society Solution
As explained by Benz, the censorship industry was built as a so-called whole-of-society effort. According to the DHS, misinformation online is a whole-of-society problem that requires a whole-of-society solution. By that, they meant that four types of institutions had to fuse together as a seamless whole. Those four categories and key functions are:
Government institutions, which provide funding and coordination
Private sector institutions that do the censorship and dedicate funds to censorship through corporate-social responsibility programs
Civil society institutions (universities, NGOs, academia, foundations, nonprofits and activists) that do the research, the spying and collecting of data that are then given to the private sector to censor
News media/fact checking institutions, which put pressure on institutions, platforms and businesses to comply with the censorship demands
What the Foundation for Freedom Online is doing is educating people about this structure, and the ways in which legislatures and the government can be restructured, how civil society institutions can be established, and how news media can be created to support and promote freedom rather than censorship.
