The Charge To Abolish Free Speech Globally

Deconstructing free speech

Ethan Huff

For the past 50 years, the U.S. Department of State has been dominated by members of the Trilateral Commission whose goal is to systematically eliminate free speech in not just the United States but all around the world.

Former State Department employee Mike Benz spoke with Tucker Carlson recently about this global war on free speech taking place from right within the heart of Washington. You can watch the interview below:

On the State Department's website, there is an entire section devoted to something called the "Democratic Roadmap: Building Civic Resilience to the Global Digital Information Manipulation Challenge." It opens with the following quote from Blinken at the Second Summit for Democracy:

"For all of the challenges that these disruptive technologies present, no system of government is better equipped to drive the forces that they represent in improving our people's lives than democracy. We excel at innovation. We're nimble. We encourage a multiplicity of voices and perspectives to find solutions. We let the best ideas rise to the top, rather than assuming that the best ideas come from the top. We believe our people have a vital role to play in the ongoing process of making our system better, of fixing its flaws. We embrace vigorous and open debate within and across our democracies."

That opening line about "disruptive technologies" is referring to social media platforms like Facebook and X where the public goes to speak and share ideas. This only became a problem right around the time of Donald Trump's first White House term when suddenly everything people were saying online was under scrutiny.

Blinken and the rest of his clan believe that they are the ones to rule speech worldwide from the comfort of their offices in the nation's capital. They are worried about what people are learning and sharing with their friends and neighbors, so they have developed an entire framework for deconstructing it.

The State Department is so committed to stamping out free speech online that it created an entire Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP) to identify online threats and figure out how to stamp them out while still appearing as though it supports the First Amendment.

"Citizens' access to and trust in accurate information is necessary to effectively participate in open, democratic societies," the preamble of Democratic Roadmap states.

"The functionality and vitality of democratic societies, as well as the ability to address transnational challenges such as climate change and pandemics, depend on the integrity of the information realm."
