Mike Benz: After the 2016 election, the National Security State, our foreign policy establishment, basically the row of government gangsters, I guess as Kash Patel calls them, some people call it the Deep State, I refer to it as the blob, embarked on a quest to kill advertising revenue to alternative news sources. They blamed the loss of the 2016 election to Donald Trump and the events of the Brexit vote in UK on the rise of alternative media, basically outflanking traditional legacy CIA, Pentagon, State Department backchanneled media. These bumper cars on democracy that mainstream media had put on the boundaries of thought and on political movements had fallen away as alternative news sources like The War Room, Real America’s Voice, Breitbart and OAN. Basically, organic grassroots citizen-run podcasts or journalism outlets were becoming more popular than the legacy outlets themselves. I mean, even Alex Jones got more clicks than CNN in 2018! And so what they decided to do, and by they, I mean these government forces, the US State Department, USAID, with help from the Pentagon, with help from the NGO complex, embarked on a quest to kill advertising revenue to alternative news sources.
