How the Pentagon’s Civilian Arm Funds Media Manipulation

Mike Benz describes how the US government now values institutional consensus over individual views and highlights The National Science Foundation's role in funding media trust through censorship.

“The National Science Foundation is probably the main funding artery for most of the censorship ecosystem in the United States... The National Science Foundation is the civilian arm of DARPA... This is the Pentagon's civilian arm funding $40 million worth of censorship, explicitly, exclusively censorship institutions to stop Americans from delegitimizing the media, to stop Americans from undermining trust in media.”

Benz explains how misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation are used to silence dissent. He warns about the dangers of widespread censorship and urges a critical examination of these practices and their impact on democratic principles.
