On a recent episode of "The Alex Marlow Show," Mike Benz, the founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, discussed Harvard University’s involvement in censorship activities. This conversation took place on Friday and highlighted concerns about how Harvard has allegedly acted in ways that suppress free speech.
Benz pointed out that Harvard has played a significant role in what he described as an "economic hitman" approach to censorship. He specifically mentioned the Belfer Center at Harvard, which is known for hosting influential figures, including Samantha Power, the USAID administrator. Benz accused Power of using her position to direct funding towards initiatives that target certain media outlets, including Breitbart News.
According to Benz, USAID has been involved in efforts to undermine advertisers associated with Breitbart, and he claims that the Belfer Center has been closely linked to these activities. This connection raises questions about the relationship between academic institutions and government agencies when it comes to issues of free speech and censorship.
"The Alex Marlow Show," which is produced by Breitbart News and the Salem Podcast Network, provides a platform for discussions on these pressing issues. Listeners can find the podcast on various platforms, including YouTube, Rumble, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
This conversation sheds light on ongoing debates about censorship in America and the role of major institutions in shaping public discourse. As concerns about free speech continue to grow, discussions like Benz’s are likely to resonate with many who are watching these developments closely.
