This Benz interview is causing a lot of commotion or "rings true" with many people. However, almost from Day One of the Covid response I picked up on Benz's point. I saw it when Facebook started shadow-banning my posts and then putting me into "Facebook Timeout" over and over again. I realized that it was Facebook (not Twitter) that was "the key to the operation." Facebook has one BILLION users. You can post long articles and any link you want on Facebook. Those posts could be "liked" and "shared" and indeed "go viral" around the world. These were posts written by smart skeptics who did have influence in their towns and plenty of followers. If everybody who was a sceptic could have poked hole after hole in the "authorized narratives" ... these narratives would never have been set in stone.

Basically, the Powers that Be HAD to kill dissent on the most-read media platform in the world. And, amazingly, they did this. It wasn't even hard for them to do this. Facebook was eager to do the bidding of the Censorship Industrial Complex.

The logistics of setting up this Censorship Industrial Complex also started well before Covid ... which makes me think this was all a planned operation. The goal, I think, was to kill dissent on the big media speech platforms.

On deck is probably Substack, which is starting to have too much influence.

The thing is Facebook isn't stopping with "Covid disinformation." We now have "eleciton disinformation" and "Russia-Gate disinformation" and Climate Change disinformation, etc.

Thanks Bill.

I am still banned from X. It's not clear why, but I suspect it is because I criticise the DOD and DARPA (Musk's funders).

For what it's worth, all the people who went along with the program had the same access to information that we did, and we told them about this as well. Many wanted us in camps and our children taken away. I am not sure that more speech would have changed their minds - they only want the government's information.

Also, I do not subscribe to the idea of 'sides.' Maybe at the beginning, but it's pretty clear now that the people who were against this from the start are still suffering, and the people who are willing to compromise and self-censor are now thriving (fellowships, etc).

Julian Assange is the most famous Australian to have taken on the US DOD. It is very dangerous. I am constantly looking over my shoulder and I do not sleep very well. I understand that others are scared and want to tap out of this.

Australia is so captured in terms of medico-legal tyranny that the only tool we have at our disposal is non-compliance. We literally have to throw our bodies on the machine and grind it to a halt. Not many are willing to do this, and even fewer understand the legal structure that has to be dismantled.

There are some Americans in TN who are going the route of asserting state's rights - it's encouraging to hear there are enough people on board to do this. We do not have this option, and I do not think I could find more than 12 people in all of Australia who would agree with me that we need to abolish the Acts that cause the Emergencies and legalise the killing. Even those in the 'freedom movement' think the job of the government is to 'keep them safe.' This is a level of brainwashing I cannot puch through.

So, as far as my situation is concerned, the situation is very, very grim.
