I’m an American living abroad and I’ve been saying this for years. Most Americans have no idea the CIA installed Boris Yeltsin, have lied about not wanting to move NATO eastward, and overthrew Ukraine’s gov in 2014 so the USA could control it and Russia.
Mr Benz I cannot believe your courage in speaking so candidly. Thank you. I hope every US and UK citizens listens to this. I also pray ardently that God protects you.
There are no millions of clever ones who would see Russian style misinformation in his presentation. Maybe he is not a full idiot but his worldview is heavily influenced by Russian misinformation and KGB manuals.

Bingo, but most seems to have the MSM narrative about it. What would most Americans say if they understood we are financing the entire Ukraine country right now AS our debt goes through the roof.
Yeah, agree, and don't you love how the blob treated Tony Podesta totally differently than Manafort even though they both worked for Yanakovich before Maiden? And Barisma Kolomoisky was daddy warbucks funding the assault on Donbass post Maiden. And laundering Obama administration aid.
One of the most insightful deep dive into just how our government operates against WE THE PEOPLE but against countries around the world. Please have Mr. Benz return soon.

So there's this British guy, just going along playing banjo in a band. He says one thing in support of a book, gets attacked, and is then brilliant enough to catapult himself into the roll of one of the most significant social commenters on earth. Also, Mike Benz is a great man. I might add- This is an example of when the screechers and shriekers with their childish antics, end up only exposing their own deluded, short sighted thinking.

He no more considered himself a "traitor to his country" than Michael Collins would've considered himself a traitor to the British Empire.

We don't spread or protect democracy, we fund corporate interests and protect corporate profits, while not reaping any of the rewards. We are all suckers, but the ones who think their favorite politicians have their back are especially stupid.
There is politics and geopolitics too (certainly not just corporations). Now picture every other country doing the same thing everywhere, on all levels and you begin to see a small bit of how complex things are.
When our country is going downward, whether you want it or not, we are part of it, too. The truth is hurt, but we need to acknowledge it and accept responsibility so we can move forward with the right future. Mistakes were made, and we couldn't go backward. The only thing we can do is apologize and make things right so the world can be a better place to live🫶🇱🇷💪🙏

This guy is so on point. First saw him on Tucker and he blew my mind with his ability to cogently lay out the mechanics of the censorship project. However he was speaking so quickly it was challenging to absorb it. Here he is speaking at an appropriate cadence to comprehend in real time. This guy needs wide exposure.
@@LeeGee it is not stretching. He covers subjects that very few will report on, or are aftaid to touch. It's rare in current information media environment.
Great Job Winston. Mike is a brilliant man. We’ve all heard him speak on the censorship, but you’ve managed to bring out a entirely different side of who he is. Outstanding!!
This guy is the example of what's wrong with our government, they know what's going on they know who's doing it but no one's willing to call it out so that us the people can find out what's going on. They're all cowards. 💕
True, except for Kentucky Senator Thomas Massey. Massey is so anti-deep state that Trump did everything he could to derail his re-election because Massey forced a roll call vote on the bipartisan Operation Warp Speed massive spending bill promoted by Trump. Republican politicians, who pretend to be small, limited government, wanted to be able to lie about their yes votes later. Of course the Democrats are always proud to grow government and waste money. Massey also is totally non-cooperative with AIPAC.
Brilliant . . . You are the gift that keeps on giving . . . Thank you for your enlightenment and sensible, intelligent conversation. I cannot fault your approach on anything I have seen you post on your channel. Thank you. My two sons' and work colleagues are now following you/r channel too.
Let’s not forget the federal pensions, Vacation/sick time. Also, In-house settlements on complaints. Fauci got royalties. And once these people, that we help to educate, leave their jobs, they just go to another federal agency, or to a huge corporation for which they helped to write federal policies.
@@righteousmammon9011 Still not bad if 20 years or more and 62 or older (slightly higher at 1.1%). Close to $2K a month. Not great but better than a kick in the pants. Especially when there are few companies with any pension at all anymore They might game it too like the police do. Wil work/book a lot of hours the last year or so to bump up their average pay so they get a higher pension on retirement.
Fauci didn't get rich on the government money in his salary even if he did get the highest government job salary, or whatever. It was the under the table and even over the table money for his nonethical, nonprofessional and immoral activities on behalf of corruption inside and outside of government (those public - private partnerships the WEFer leadership is always so fond of talking about) is where he made his money. And, public private partnerships with a WEFer wink and a nod is nothing more than fascism. It ain't small businesses they are talking about, it's multinational corporations that get a seat at the decision-making table on global affairs. They keep telling us that this couldn't be fascism, the WWII fascists were nationalists. Let's look at the facts. The WWII fascists wanted to take over and rule the world, didn't they? I would call them "globalists", wouldn't you? And, in the current wealthy fascists Generation II, some are even children or grandchildren of those from WWII or back at it for another round. The way they see it is they lost the battle; they didn't lose the war. They are getting ready for WWIIII.
Fauci didn't get rich on government money or benefits even if he was the highest paid or one of the highest paid. It was his alleged shady practices and dealings he got rich on. He's been at it for a long time, since the 70s.
This is the most transformative and informative conversation I have yet to experience in my lifetime. As an American citizen. This man needs to be protected. I have seen the transformation of NATO countries over the last 10 12 years but have not been able or would never be able to identify and describe the who and the why like he has. Just incredible. Thank you!
@@angela8187 valid point but I also think its worth considering that defamation is extremely powerful. All they need to do is convince enough people that this man is 'far-right' etc. Just look at the MSNBC article on him; Speaks volumes. But you could be right too. We don't know.
What an interview!!!! Wow!! Mike Benz has provided so many pieces to a puzzle that we did not realize was so all encompassing. It makes every attempt for the USA to return to its original intent seem more hopeless, and yet we realize the hopelessness is worldwide and not just related to our little election cycles.
I love it when Winston asks “what does that mean?” just at that moment when we need clarification in order to understand the complicated story. Thank you.
Mike Benz is the most knowledgeable human of world affairs. I am impressed with his ability to give many examples from around the world way better than an AI man. Mike, please look behind until you get more grey.
Winston your accomplishments as a musician are beyond reproach you have been there and you have done that. I think you found a good place here as a citizen journalist and I appreciate what you're doing hope you're doing well hello from America
This all blows my mind! I’m just an ordinary citizen watching all this going on and quite honestly feeling very depressed about it all. The only thing I have is my vote, and from now on I’m going to be very careful who I give it to. I guess that’s all we plebs can do.
No you can also volunteer at the polling stations in your communities....help keep it honest ..... everything starts in your backyard.. .. come together as a community and help and watch out for each other. Wake up brother's and sister's.
I can listen to Mike Benz for hours. He's fascinating in a way that most men are not by the way he synthesizes the felonious mopery of the BLOB in such a clear, clean, efficient manner....
Wherever you are, whoever, however lowly or powerful, however much you can, do not comply with these psychopaths. It's peace and freedom or money and horror.
Not quite. They can buy stock like anyone else. There are quite a few documentaries on this subject. They simply make policy and tug the strings of geopolitical decision. Those decisions can cause those very same stocks to skyrocket or plummet. They know where to put their money because it's their decisions that stear it, they can't lose.
There is a clip of RFK JR. talking about the time he was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein. RFK said Epstein told him he was an investor but that he never invests in anything unless he has prior inside knowledge.
Death? Prison, Or being cancelled, hounded into an obscure corner - Snowden, Assange, the Israeli nuclear whistle-blower (what was his name), the British M15 whistle-blowers.....
Partly because of the consequences to their personal lives . Many large institutions seem to self select for people who go only care about their own career and reputation full stop . Part of it is the elitism that makes these people feel like the people are better taken care of if the elites make the complicated decisions so speaking up against it is actually a disservice to the world . And partly because Mike has an exceptional IQ and wiring that lets him see the mechanisms and dynamics at play . Even if people wanted to speak up against it , they wouldn’t feel as confident because they wouldn’t be able to articulate the problem as well as Mike.
This conversation is amazing, a bit discouraging and frightening, and as an ordinary person with family issues, health issues, work issue, mom and pop growing old issues, child discipline issues, PTA meetings, home ownership and car maintenance issues, tax issues, safety issues, budget issues, etc. etc. etc. to contend with I don't see how average citizens can keep up with all this intrigue and all the machinations of what is actually going on behind the scenes of our government. We only have 24 hours in a day and we have limited information that is time consuming to verify because the media pumps out so many lies. This is why we need an honest media to give all sides of an issue in a simplified and concise way so that we can have some insight into what our own government is doing and where in the hell all of our tax money goes. With a dishonest, moronic and complicit media, such as we now have, how in the hell is the average citizen supposed to know all this and make intelligent choices when voting? And Mike Benz is talking only about the State Department and not even discussing all the other agencies in the government with hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats making all sorts of decisions on our behalf that we might not agree with and might actually be completely against as they run wild. In this way the internet, with conversations like this, has helped me understand some of the complexities we are faced with, but I'm retired and have some time to spend in listening to long conversations. Most people don't have the time, the energy, or even the intellect to be able to follow all this intrigue. It's pretty frightening to get some insight of how huge and out of control our government has become.
It's like Tucker - but with all the notes and facts in the end of the book. Combine this man with Whitney Webb and Robert Malone you get pretty near the truth.
So many people in America use the word democracy. We are a republic of states. By the people for the people. "If we can keep it." BF. I think that an informed society is the keys to a change.
That's because we didn't keep it. The government went bankrupt, creditors took title of assets in receivership and put in its own heads and required it be run as a democracy. So, here we are. No Republic, everyone using the word democracy, cuz it currently is. What do we do now?
Great service to freedom loving community …may God protect and keep You from any evil group - bless and protect You and bring You to full knowledge of the Bible and last days of HUMANITY and love of God may save YOU.
Yes, we've been backing rightwing psychos around the world in support of big biz for a long time--and way before the timeline he laid out. The titans of capitalism have never cared about skin color/culture or anything else unless it happened to be useful to advance their true goals(and just as easily tossed aside when no longer useful) money&power. And switching out the current crop for some new ones will not change that lol.
One of the best interviews/discussions I've heard in recent years - explains why the terms "right-wing" and "left-wing" are so meaningless now, and how the former left-wing have been duped into loving the corporations and the corporate state. A brilliant tour-de-force. I will follow Mike Benz, although I don't agree with everything he says about Trump.

This guy is so on point. First saw him on Tucker and he blew my mind with his ability to cogently lay out the mechanics of the censorship project. However he was speaking so quickly it was challenging to absorb it. Here he is speaking at an appropriate cadence to comprehend in real time. This guy needs wide exposure.
Winston Marshall one of the most consequential voices of our time.
@@LeeGee it is not stretching. He covers subjects that very few will report on, or are aftaid to touch. It's rare in current information media environment.
@@jitkablahakova3073 In alt news there is nothing rare about him! You need to get out more.
@@owebeejaun He is rare in that he is intelligent, resourceful, thought provoking .
He wouldn't be so surprised about what Benz is saying if he knew anything about western foreign policy.
Great Job Winston. Mike is a brilliant man. We’ve all heard him speak on the censorship, but you’ve managed to bring out a entirely different side of who he is. Outstanding!!
The State Dept is a nest a slimy vipers, and always has been! The deepest of the Deep State entities.
Needs a complete housekeeping.
I hope Mike Benz serves in the next potential Trump admin
Unless his words directly benefit Trump and American oligarchs, no one in the potential Trump administration cares what he says.
I HOPE and PRAY so!
If Benz is the real deal, Swamp Monster Trump won't touch him with a ten foot pole
An essential conversation. This system must be reformed.
Please bring him back ASAP! Absolutely fascinating! Wow. Kudos to both of you!
Winston thank you for all your truths…bringing to light all that is dark…GOD bless you
Amen 🙏
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉‼️
Agreed 💯 Tysm to Winston: 🙂👍✝️🛐🩸✨🕯️🕊️🌿✨May God bless and protect you and yours. 💖🙏 Healing 🩹 prayers for our beloved US. 🇺🇲🌎🙏✨
Fascinating interview, kudos to you both. 👏👏
Really scary corrupt world we live in
Winston, thank you for this great interview, Mike Benz is a great wealth of inside info that us fools need to hear.
I have never seen an insider with such deep knowledge and high IQ.
This guy is the example of what's wrong with our government, they know what's going on they know who's doing it but no one's willing to call it out so that us the people can find out what's going on. They're all cowards. 💕
True, except for Kentucky Senator Thomas Massey. Massey is so anti-deep state that Trump did everything he could to derail his re-election because Massey forced a roll call vote on the bipartisan Operation Warp Speed massive spending bill promoted by Trump. Republican politicians, who pretend to be small, limited government, wanted to be able to lie about their yes votes later. Of course the Democrats are always proud to grow government and waste money. Massey also is totally non-cooperative with AIPAC.
Yes! They should all be fired and some to prison
It's always the money, my dear Winston.Always.
Amazingly knowledgeable guest - wow! Fantastic show. Thank you Winston.
Brilliant . . . You are the gift that keeps on giving . . . Thank you for your enlightenment and sensible, intelligent conversation. I cannot fault your approach on anything I have seen you post on your channel. Thank you.
My two sons' and work colleagues are now following you/r channel too.
Let’s not forget the federal pensions, Vacation/sick time. Also, In-house settlements on complaints. Fauci got royalties. And once these people, that we help to educate, leave their jobs, they just go to another federal agency, or to a huge corporation for which they helped to write federal policies.
Federal Pensions are actually not that great. 1% of your salary per year of service.
@@righteousmammon9011 Still not bad if 20 years or more and 62 or older (slightly higher at 1.1%). Close to $2K a month. Not great but better than a kick in the pants. Especially when there are few companies with any pension at all anymore
They might game it too like the police do. Wil work/book a lot of hours the last year or so to bump up their average pay so they get a higher pension on retirement.
@@righteousmammon9011 Too Much! They currently aren't worthy of anything...
Fauci didn't get rich on the government money in his salary even if he did get the highest government job salary, or whatever. It was the under the table and even over the table money for his nonethical, nonprofessional and immoral activities on behalf of corruption inside and outside of government (those public - private partnerships the WEFer leadership is always so fond of talking about) is where he made his money. And, public private partnerships with a WEFer wink and a nod is nothing more than fascism. It ain't small businesses they are talking about, it's multinational corporations that get a seat at the decision-making table on global affairs.
They keep telling us that this couldn't be fascism, the WWII fascists were nationalists. Let's look at the facts. The WWII fascists wanted to take over and rule the world, didn't they? I would call them "globalists", wouldn't you? And, in the current wealthy fascists Generation II, some are even children or grandchildren of those from WWII or back at it for another round. The way they see it is they lost the battle; they didn't lose the war. They are getting ready for WWIIII.
Fauci didn't get rich on government money or benefits even if he was the highest paid or one of the highest paid. It was his alleged shady practices and dealings he got rich on. He's been at it for a long time, since the 70s.
Endless wars. Follow the money.
Brilliant and incredibly courageous. May you both thrive in bringing truth to us.
🔥 The LOOTING of Americans 🔥
This is the most transformative and informative conversation I have yet to experience in my lifetime. As an American citizen. This man needs to be protected. I have seen the transformation of NATO countries over the last 10 12 years but have not been able or would never be able to identify and describe the who and the why like he has. Just incredible. Thank you!
If he was really a threat he would not be talking on youtube, at the very least this video would be deleted.
@@angela8187are you saying this is a psyop?
@@angela8187 valid point but I also think its worth considering that defamation is extremely powerful. All they need to do is convince enough people that this man is 'far-right' etc. Just look at the MSNBC article on him; Speaks volumes. But you could be right too. We don't know.
Very smart man. Big Thank you to both of you. From Ukraine.
What an interview!!!! Wow!! Mike Benz has provided so many pieces to a puzzle that we did not realize was so all encompassing. It makes every attempt for the USA to return to its original intent seem more hopeless, and yet we realize the hopelessness is worldwide and not just related to our little election cycles.
I love it when Winston asks “what does that mean?” just at that moment when we need clarification in order to understand the complicated story. Thank you.
Finally ......total truth. Now you know you are not mad or wrong.
Love how he stuck Nancy Piglosi A to the wall! The drunk got her day in front of the world!
It was definitely delicious 😂to watch.
The little devil on My shoulder was going " moo hoo ha ha ha yessss!" "I love it"
They work with YT, FB etc and what did Amy Coney Barrett go an do?
Mike Johnson?
The betrayal just goes on and on and on
Yep. That's why they call it the uniparty
Wait till you find out who her father is 😂😮
Damn! Now that’s a show! Mike Benz is a badass!
The problem is that the state department has wayyyy too much power. The govt should barely be able to do anything
Mike Benz is the most knowledgeable human of world affairs. I am impressed with his ability to give many examples from around the world way better than an AI man. Mike, please look behind until you get more grey.
Wow, this is deep. Too deep for most people, but really scary A.F.
Winston does a fantastic job of breaking it down for the lay person with his questions and clarification 😊
Knowledge is power.. thanks for empowering 'we the people' Winston and Mike
Winston your accomplishments as a musician are beyond reproach you have been there and you have done that. I think you found a good place here as a citizen journalist and I appreciate what you're doing hope you're doing well hello from America
Thank you for your show and having your awesome guests.
Excellent!!
We need to spread the word, the only power the people have is the people!
wow he has encapsulated everything have researched in 4 years in 2 hrs brilliant interview well done to his integrity and honesty
This all blows my mind! I’m just an ordinary citizen watching all this going on and quite honestly feeling very depressed about it all. The only thing I have is my vote, and from now on I’m going to be very careful who I give it to. I guess that’s all we plebs can do.
The vote is everything if they don’t cheat……. Unfortunately they cheat a lot,
No you can also volunteer at the polling stations in your communities....help keep it honest ..... everything starts in your backyard.. .. come together as a community and help and watch out for each other. Wake up brother's and sister's.
SMART MAN 👈👍👌
Your vote...lol you are so blind to reality. Watch a few Whitney Webb video's get some actual credible information.
Join a union.
I can listen to Mike Benz for hours. He's fascinating in a way that most men are not by the way he synthesizes the felonious mopery of the BLOB in such a clear, clean, efficient manner....
The most informative episode I’ve watched in a long time! Amazing!
Wherever you are, whoever, however lowly or powerful, however much you can, do not comply with these psychopaths. It's peace and freedom or money and horror.
This interview is an education on what is really going on behind the scenes. Thank you Winston Marshall and Mike Benz.
💯🙏
Thank you so much for continuing to dig deeper about the state department
Wow. Amazing! You, sirs, are very brave & beautifully altruistic.
Thank you both.
Mike, your a breath of fresh (frightening) air, what we’ve believed for years.
If the salaries are so low, how tf do they come out millionaires? Their influence is bought.
Some like congress has ability to trade on inside info, but others get payoff later as he described
Or they have a family member own an LLC that gets paid for consulting
Not quite. They can buy stock like anyone else. There are quite a few documentaries on this subject. They simply make policy and tug the strings of geopolitical decision. Those decisions can cause those very same stocks to skyrocket or plummet. They know where to put their money because it's their decisions that stear it, they can't lose.

There is a clip of RFK JR. talking about the time he was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein. RFK said Epstein told him he was an investor but that he never invests in anything unless he has prior inside knowledge.
Why can literally no one else with this knowledge speak about it so plainly and honestly?
Death? Prison, Or being cancelled, hounded into an obscure corner - Snowden, Assange, the Israeli nuclear whistle-blower (what was his name), the British M15 whistle-blowers.....
Partly because of the consequences to their personal lives . Many large institutions seem to self select for people who go only care about their own career and reputation full stop .
Part of it is the elitism that makes these people feel like the people are better taken care of if the elites make the complicated decisions so speaking up against it is actually a disservice to the world .
And partly because Mike has an exceptional IQ and wiring that lets him see the mechanisms and dynamics at play . Even if people wanted to speak up against it , they wouldn’t feel as confident because they wouldn’t be able to articulate the problem as well as Mike.
This conversation is amazing, a bit discouraging and frightening, and as an ordinary person with family issues, health issues, work issue, mom and pop growing old issues, child discipline issues, PTA meetings, home ownership and car maintenance issues, tax issues, safety issues, budget issues, etc. etc. etc. to contend with I don't see how average citizens can keep up with all this intrigue and all the machinations of what is actually going on behind the scenes of our government. We only have 24 hours in a day and we have limited information that is time consuming to verify because the media pumps out so many lies.
This is why we need an honest media to give all sides of an issue in a simplified and concise way so that we can have some insight into what our own government is doing and where in the hell all of our tax money goes. With a dishonest, moronic and complicit media, such as we now have, how in the hell is the average citizen supposed to know all this and make intelligent choices when voting? And Mike Benz is talking only about the State Department and not even discussing all the other agencies in the government with hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats making all sorts of decisions on our behalf that we might not agree with and might actually be completely against as they run wild.
In this way the internet, with conversations like this, has helped me understand some of the complexities we are faced with, but I'm retired and have some time to spend in listening to long conversations. Most people don't have the time, the energy, or even the intellect to be able to follow all this intrigue.
It's pretty frightening to get some insight of how huge and out of control our government has become.
Outstanding! This man is so knowledgeable - in so many topics AND a great educator! Five stars every time!
It's like Tucker - but with all the notes and facts in the end of the book. Combine this man with Whitney Webb and Robert Malone you get pretty near the truth.
Too bad he is such an israeli apologetic.
@@andreasjohansson610israel is key US ally
Keep it up❤. Watching from Portugal.
I really enjoyed this, never heard of Mike before but he is a mine of information, thanks Winston for a great interview.
So many people in America use the word democracy. We are a republic of states. By the people for the people. "If we can keep it." BF. I think that an informed society is the keys to a change.
That's because we didn't keep it. The government went bankrupt, creditors took title of assets in receivership and put in its own heads and required it be run as a democracy. So, here we are. No Republic, everyone using the word democracy, cuz it currently is. What do we do now?
If people unite they can be uncontrollable, if people become informed be sure they will unite.
They’re not mutually exclusive . A Constitutional republic is a form of democracy .
Wow - great interview Winston Marshall, excellent guest.
Also, curious about what Mike Benz would say about the Butler rally incident
We out number them ,they have nothing without the people
I got censored on X for referring to Biden's mumbling, etc., and for calling Kamala stupid. That was in reply to a Biden-Harris campaign post.
Use bigger words!
After Musk bought it?
Winston is brilliant. Thank you!! I enjoyed your band and now I enjoy your mind and fairness to your and our countries.
What a captivating and enlightening interview with Mike Benz. It really lifted the lid on geo politics.
Bravo Winston you’re doing great work 👏👏👏
The internet was so freeing back in the yahoo chatroom days, myspace era. Breath of fresh air. Patriot Act changed the playing field.
Great service to freedom loving community …may God protect and keep You from any evil group - bless and protect You and bring You to full knowledge of the Bible and last days of HUMANITY and love of God may save YOU.
This is probably the best interview I've ever seen. Great questions great answers.
Great insight, Winston.
General smedley butler wrote about this in "war is a racket" & the book about cia/dulles/foreign policy called "the Devils chessboard".
Yes, we've been backing rightwing psychos around the world in support of big biz for a long time--and way before the timeline he laid out. The titans of capitalism have never cared about skin color/culture or anything else unless it happened to be useful to advance their true goals(and just as easily tossed aside when no longer useful) money&power. And switching out the current crop for some new ones will not change that lol.
Terrific discussion. Thanks 👍❤️
Interesting discussion. More with Mr Benz in the future, please.
One of the best interviews/discussions I've heard in recent years - explains why the terms "right-wing" and "left-wing" are so meaningless now, and how the former left-wing have been duped into loving the corporations and the corporate state. A brilliant tour-de-force. I will follow Mike Benz, although I don't agree with everything he says about Trump.
Britain has a history of well-spoken Winstons turning up in it's hour of need...
I'm not sure the last one did a good job, considering the UK has looked like a mixture between Subsaharan Africa and the Middle East for decades thus far (since he "won" the war). They lost their colonial empire too
