DeepSummary
Mike Benz, a former Trump White House employee, discusses how the U.S. government has turned its foreign operations to overthrow governments and control elections against its own citizens. He explains the censorship industry, where hundreds of thousands of people are employed as content moderators to censor the internet, and how the government, private sector, civil society, and media are working together to control online narratives.
Benz reveals how the government is funding artificial intelligence censorship technology to track and suppress dissenting voices on issues like COVID-19, the 2020 election, climate change, and immigration. He describes how the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, and tech companies are using AI to identify and censor online users who undermine faith in mainstream media and democratic institutions.
Benz warns that this censorship infrastructure, originally meant for foreign operations, has been turned against American citizens, undermining free speech and democracy. He argues that the deep state, or the "blob" consisting of the State Department, Pentagon, intelligence agencies, and corporations, is protecting its interests by cracking down on populism and dissent.
