To review – over the past several weeks, Elon Musk’s team at DOGE have descended on several key levers of power within the US government – including the US Treasury, the Office of Personnel Management, and of course, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) – which was quickly revealed as a rogue, unaccountable ‘blob’ that used its vast funds not only to spread propaganda worldwide, it paid news organizations and ‘disinformation’ researchers to collude against outlets such as ZeroHedge, The Federalist, and others in order to strip us of ad revenues and damage our reputation. (Fortunately your subscriptions, and generous support of our new store, are keeping the lights on).
Rogan and Benz
“It must have been very exciting to have the vault opened and to get a peek into the machine, because you’ve been describing this,” Rogan told Benz – who’s spent the last several years dispensing redpills. “The last time you were on the podcast, you went into depth about usaid, and it’s very curious why they chose USAID as the first organization for DOGE to investigate.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, the joke that I tell here is, it’s like what they tell you to do your first day of prison is you go in, you walk up to the meanest, baddest SOB and you punch them right in the mouth. I mean, that’s basically what’s happened here with the White House’s first target being USAID,” Benz replied.
Benz then went into how USAID funded NGOs, along with the deep state’s global propaganda news complex via ‘Internews.’
If you have 13 minutes – watch this:
Joe Rogan and Mike Benz expose how USAID-funded NGOs—Internews, CEPPS, and EcoHealth Alliance—financed the Wuhan lab, a global propaganda network, and the online censorship of American citizens.

How USAID Targets US Independent Media
Benz explained how USAID leaned on advertisers to boycott independent media outlets.
USAID said it was a charitable group. It wasn’t. It was a tool for regime change. After 2016, it turned its guns inward. In 2019, a front group it created fabricated the evidence used by the CIA, moles in the White House, and House Democrats to impeach Trump. That’s treason. https://t.co/plxlWUqNiJ pic.twitter.com/u7oYXNkCA6
