There's a lot of detail and a lot of eye opening stuff I never knew about Ukraine and how the US government CIA/State Dept project US power via 'assets' they fund. In short the burden of empire. Well worth a listen to imo if you have the time and interest. May not be easy listening from a Libertarian viewpoint as it lays out how extensively and intricately the US government works with and for private enterprise in order to gain power, leverage and resources globally.
thank you! Don't exactly love those topics, so will probably pass, but at least I can see why and how and sort of make a judgment call rather than just "it's great" for some dude I've never heard of.
sry to leave you hanging @denlillaapan... i've spent a good deal of time getting exposed to these topics, and i assumed most people knew who mike benz is.
The role of the government power projection in the wealth of nations is a crucial subject for any economist worth his salt to consider... sadly Libertarians seem to prefer to turn a blind eye.
I don't believe he is, but afaict it's irrelevant to my interest in him. He brings receipts and helps me understand how the censorship machine works. Could he have ulterior motives that are orthogonal to some of mine? Probably.
Who? Mike Benz…..
i saiiiid...

view on www.youtube.comExpert on the deep state of corruption within the US government.

Any summary, tidbits etc?
In depth description of the deep state.
Nobody at SN could be bothered watching?
CAN, and WOULD—eventually. But it'd be nice for the poster to share some nice quotes or favorite passages

Sorry! I hadn't... I'm very narrow, know/pay attention to a few things -- but I'm a total idiot for the rest!

@k00b, have you seen this?
Yeah when it came out. He's supposed to come back on soon.
what's your over/under on he's a spook (still) ?

Much like everyone [in bitcoin] is [effectively] a scammer, everyone in politics is effectively a spook.

He isn't the first to expose USAID but he has been the most vocal so far
He was recently on Tucker Carlson (again), YouTube and X
Are you calling him a spook because you work for USAID
