Mike Benz: This is a Pentagon-funded psychological operations research arm of the Pentagon. And you\u2019ll see, you know, it\u2019s called the COVID-19 Infodemic, because they published this in April 2020 after COVID got its name. But they started this before it did. And if you scroll, if you scroll down to I think page 5 here, you\u2019ll see you\u2019ll see. So, this is, by the way, an AI generated network map of all people expressing skepticism about the origins of COVID and different conspiracy theories. So, if you scroll down to page 5, it says, a few key analytical highlights of these maps. Okay. So, you\u2019ll see that they, uh, so, similarly large mega clusters of US right-wing accounts were diminishing the mainstreaming of the coronavirus conversation. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you scroll down to the next one, you\u2019ll see they\u2019ve dedicated coronavirus misinformation map seeded on disinformation specific hashtags, revealed that conservative groups had a larger total presence of COVID heterodox opinions. This is right at the outbreak, 1 month in, into it. A Pentagon-funded Psyops firm is, is doing political mapping. Not in the US, in the UK, in Italy. Uh, so, they found that disproportionately, it\u2019s conservatives who need to be censored more. If you just scroll down through this, I\u2019ll show you some highlights. Um\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Joe Rogan: What was this in regard\u2026 this is disinformation in regard to the origin at this point?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mike Benz: Yes. So, and you can run a control\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Joe Rogan: Which is wild, that they were already countering when the origin was not really disclosed yet. It was still being debated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mike Benz: Exactly. And you\u2019ll see, they even so, again, this is the Pentagon creating network maps. We\u2019re paying for this effectively. To protect the political, the online reputation of Bill Gates and George Soros. You’ll see they have a whole section on if you just run a control F for Gates or Soros, you\u2019ll see this as well. But you\u2019ll see that they map these different conspiracy\u2026 how much would Bill Gates or George Soros need to pay a cloak and dagger public relations shop to scour the entire internet and create targetable sensorable demographic communities that social media should censor in order to protect their reputation? This is us paying the Pentagon to pay a Psyops firm to protect the reputation of Bill Gates and George Soros from conspiracy theories online.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Joe Rogan: wow.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mike Benz: And they did the same thing with COVID origins, they did the same thing with vaccines. This same group Graphika was a part of something called the Virality Project, which, you know, had, which mapped out 66 different claims of if you questioned COVID vaccine efficacy. If you questioned masks and their efficacy, if you questioned policies around lockdowns. All of that was systematically mapped. All four of the entities involved in the Virality Project, by the way, were US government-funded at the organizational level. The University of Stanford and the University of Washington, two of those four received a joint $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation, which again, is this basically the civilian side of DARPA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Joe Rogan: *Whew*<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mike Benz: The, you know, Graphika has received $7 million in Pentagon funds. And then the, you know, the nastiest one of them all is this group, the Atlantic Council, which has, which gets annual funding of over $1 million a year from the Pentagon, over $1 million a year from the State Department. It also gets annual funding from the CIA cutout National Endowment for Democracy. It gets annual funding from USAID. Basically, every web of US cloak and dagger intelligence and diplomatic funding funds the Atlantic Council every year. The Atlantic Council has seven CIA directors on its board of directors.<\/div>\n
