Digital ID, USAID Projects, and Surveillance Concerns

Mike Benz joins the show to talk about how the various government, corporate, and NGO groups making up the censorship machine work together to control the information space and, therefore, how the public understands the world.  

Discussed on the show:

• God Complex: The Rise Of America's Censorship Machine

• “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” (Time)

• “Trump Fired Them. Now They’re Plotting to Stop Him.” (NOTUS)
