Mike Benz: 本文详细阐述了美国政府及其盟友（北约）如何通过各种手段干预其他国家的政治进程，特别是通过操纵互联网审查来压制民粹主义运动和反对势力。他指出，美国国务院、中央情报局、五角大楼以及其他政府机构和非政府组织（如大西洋理事会、新闻卫士）共同构建了一个复杂的审查体系，通过控制广告支出、制定国际法律（如欧盟数字服务法案）、资助和协调其他国家的审查机构等方式，来影响全球科技平台的审查政策，最终达到控制信息环境的目的。他以巴西为例，详细描述了美国政府如何通过各种手段干预巴西大选，支持卢拉政府，并压制博索纳罗及其支持者的言论。他认为，这种做法不仅威胁到其他国家的言论自由，也对美国的言论自由构成威胁，因为这种“回旋镖战术”最终会反噬美国。 Shawn Ryan: 作为访谈的主持人，Shawn Ryan 主要起到引导和提问的作用，他的问题促使 Mike Benz 进一步阐述其观点，并提供更多细节和证据。
