Expert Mike Benz joins the program to discuss the rapid restructuring of the State Department and USAID under the Trump administration. He identifies Alex Jones as "patient zero" for the deep state's weaponization of censorship, particularly following Jones' reporting on the Syrian conflict in 2018. Benz explains that the CIA's Operation Timber Sycamore was the largest covert operation in history and was threatened by Jones' massive audience and anti-war narrative.

Dyer highlights "Operation Straggle" and "Timber Sycamore" as declassified CIA operations aimed at toppling the Syrian government using radical proxies. He notes that billions of U.S. tax dollars were funneled to groups like Al-Nusra, which the media initially labeled as "moderate rebels." The segment points out that these operations were successful in destabilizing Syria but were ignored by the mainstream public for years.
