Benz is a strange guy. He obviously knows a lot, and his heart seems to be in the right place. But I’ve approached him many different times and ways about X’s secret mass censorship system, and he’s completely uninterested.

He even has a foundation ostensibly dedicated to fighting online censorship. Its web page invites people to contact them with stories of online censorship, so I did, and again, they don’t care at all.

If Benz is too busy for his foundation, surely he should just close it.

Or... He is protecting the "crown Jewel" the most effective propaganda platform in the word: X where the tweets of the "highest status monkey" in the world are amplified while the authentic voices are shadow-banned and blacklisted! https://dailynewsfromaolf.substack.com/p/are-jake-paul-and-elon-musk-artificially

Could be, I don't know. Benz hits the bad guys pretty hard, and he seems to do it all off the top of his head, so I'll be shocked if he's not legit. At the same time, something is clearly wrong with him since he won't say a word about secret mass censorship on the most important social media platform.

Sorry but I couldn’t watch even 5 minutes of it. The censorship began in 2014, and before that, since 1948, the CIA was promoting free speech around the world… And Rogan didn’t laugh.

They can’t be that clueless, and therefore i must conclude that they’re both tools for tyranny, plain as day.

The way Benz talks about Ukraine, coming from the State Department, tells me he’s a psychopath. If he had any conscience, he’d be brutally critical of the Ukraine coup rather than deeming it a positive.

Zero respect for Rogan for not challenging Benz on numerous points in those first few minutes.
