This interview with Mike Benz is much better than the one last week with Tucker Carlson. Where as with Tucker it was pretty much totally uninterrupted without too many questions and so it was like an avalanche or a torrent of words and information with no time to digest, absorb, think and take it all in. This one is much better paced.
The interpretation they’re now placing on democracy and what it is and how elections are harmful to democracy (I’m not making it up) is truly dark, sinister and evil.
Just as the ABC thinks of the entity as THEIR ABC, this is the same. Democracy is the domain of the institutions and the elites. It is THEIR democracy and the people are just an inconvenience and in the way so the concept has to be and is being redefined, rebadged and rebranded.
Governments are installed at the consent of the governed but that’s not how the elites see it at all. With the phenomenon of social media and the gatekeepers of traditional media being side-lined, unwanted opinions, ideas and angles and being ventilated and given oxygen and new political movements are are coalescing.
For the elites and associated institutions this simply can be allowed to continue.
Now that America and Americans are on to what’s going on and how they have been manipulated by the msm for decades, it’s worth taking note in the last couple of minutes at the 24 minute mark, of how “the blob” as it’s referred to is now trying to skirt around American law by outsourcing their dirty work to the EU using the EU Digital Services act to force Elon Musk to censor in Europe and therefore that censorship will apply to X globally.
I did see the Tucker Carlson interview with President Putin. It does not mean that I agree with with Mr Putin.
Nevertheless, Mr Putin gave an insight that whoever is the POTUS, the POTUS is not the real decision maker. It’s like the fictional character PM Jim Hacker being manipulated by Sir Humphrey.
Given the President’s historic prologue on the history of Ukraine and Ukraine’s territory being claimed by by Russia, Poland and Hungary, Tucker did not ask the question about the millions of Ukrainians who were starved to death during the time of Stalin!
At the same time, it is the first time through Tucker’s interview that we had the opportunity to hear Mr Putin’s view.
No one else from the MSM has interviewed Mr Putin since the start of the dispute between Russia and Ukraine.
Viewing Tucker’s interview did not sway me to support the other side in the same way that Barbara Walters’ interview with Fidel Castro and Mike Wallace’s interview with Ayatollah Khomeini swayed my support for either Castro or Khomeini.
I cannot figure out why the “elites” have a concern for what we believe and act. If what we believe and act is contrary to the “elite’s” desire for how society should act to the benefit of the “elites” that’s their problem.
The MSM does not have a monopoly on what we should believe in. Curated stories with facts omitted from reports may have fooled the population. Today there are diverse narratives and presented on social media and other websites.
Recall that the MSM is delivered by the scarce resource of the electromagnetic spectrum for radio and TV.
With the internet, there are billions of IP addresses. Compared to scarce electromagnetic spectrum, this results in many narratives on social media media and websites.
Sure there are rules of conduct in regards to what is said on social media channels. Many presenters on social media channels “get around” the rules of non-pc communication by expressing their views in metaphors or muting the words of the presenter while subtitling the ‘offending’ words.
To illustrate if a presenter says something about a sexual preference, that may be described as the “Moloch behaviour”. If there is a potentially defamatory statement about someone, the person’s name is muted while the person’s name is subtitled.
These methods get around any of the social Media’s platform’s voice recognition software and the video is pulled offline by the social media platform.
Some other platforms are not so strict such as Rumble.
Regardless of any means to censor the news, people have have had enough.
In the US, the big issues are: inflation, real unemployment figures, illegal but condoned Mexican/US border crossings in the millions from Mexico, El Salvador, Africa and China.
Actions speak louder than the words of the MSM. People had enough, censorship or no censorship.
The horse has bolted. Narratives from the MSM have been supplanted by narratives available from the internet.
Whether those narratives are right or wrong no censorship or PSYOPs or FUD will coral people into the “elite’s” view.
