Episode notes
State Department Overhaul And Staffing Pivot
- The State Department under Secretary Rubio is aggressively reorganizing and reviewing millions of visa records and agencies.
- This overhaul is meant to replace legacy personnel and reclaim foreign policy direction from entrenched bureaucratic networks.
Institute Of Peace As Influence Apparatus
- The U.S. Institute of Peace is portrayed as deeply entwined with defense contractors and covert influence operations.
- Mike Benz argues its programs helped export 'nonviolent' protest tactics that actually facilitated riots and regime-change activities abroad and domestically.
Push For Full Document Transparency
- Demand full public disclosure of USAID and Institute of Peace internal documents to restore trust and enable accountability.
- Require release of memos, emails, grants, and analyst reports so the public can see how taxpayer dollars were used.
