Vaultz Capital PLC (AQSE:V3TC, OTCQB:VZTCF) CEO Eric Benz talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's admission to trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States. Benz said joining the OTCQB was an important milestone for Vaultz Capital as it enables access to a wider investor base and deeper liquidity. “Being live with OTCQB really is important for us for a couple of different reasons,” he explained. “This allows us to open ourselves up to a US-focused investor base, which is going to fuel the Treasury in my opinion.” He noted that the move will help the company progress several internal projects that had been paused while awaiting the listing. One of the main initiatives is a full-scale rebrand, including a new name, website, and visual identity aimed at improving positioning as Vaultz scales its operations and targets new markets. Benz also emphasised the strategic importance of listing in both the US and Frankfurt markets. He said that Frankfurt processes over €5 billion in trades daily and, combined with the OTCQB in the US, offers Vaultz Capital broader investor visibility and capital access. On the topic of Bitcoin, Benz reaffirmed the company's strong stance. “We are long Bitcoin. We're always going to be buying Bitcoin. Bitcoin is in our blood,” he stated, adding that recent price fluctuations have no impact on Vaultz's strategy. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Der Mercedes /8 – Der letzte Benz mit senkrechten Scheinwerfern Der /8 hatte gleich zwei werksinterne Bezeichnungen: Coupé und Sechszylinder waren die Baureihe W114, die Diesel, Vier- und Fünfzylinder wurden als Baureihe W115 bezeichnet. Hintergrund war die Überlegung, für die großen Motoren eine längere Fahrzeugfront zu bauen. Als dann im Zuge der Entwicklung klar wurde, dass die Sechszylinder auch in die bereits gezeichnete Karosserie passen, wurden werksintern die entsprechenden Kennungen bereits verwendet. An Bürokratieabbau dachte damals noch niemand und so blieb es bei den beiden Werkscodes. Der W114/115 war der erste Mercedes, der die Millionenmarke knackte: rund 1,9 Millionen Fahrzeuge wurden ab 1967 produziert. Da es sich bei den ersten rund 3.000 Fahrzeugen um Vorserien-Fahrzeuge handelte und der /8 eigentlich erst ab 1968 verkauft wurde, spricht man bei den frühen Modellen von der Serie 0,5. Technisch ist der Mercedes eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung seines Vorgängers. Insbesondere das Fahrwerk profitiert von der Modernisierung. Serienübergreifend hat der W114/115 jetzt an allen vier Rädern Scheibenbremsen und statt einer Eingelenk-Pendelachse hinten nun eine Schräglenkerachse, welche das Fahrverhalten des immerhin rund 1,5 Tonnen schweren PKW deutlich verbessert. Auch die markenprägende Feststell-Bremse über ein Fußpedal feiert seine Premier im /8. Außerdem beginnt mit dem W114/115 die Ära der überbordenden Mercedes-Sonderausstattungslisten: Kostete ein Modell in absoluter Grundausstattung rund 13.000 DM war man bei einem vollausgestatteten Exemplar schnell bei mehr als 40.000 DM. Ron und Frederic mögen den Mercedes gerne. Während Fredo auf ein Coupé schielt ist Ron doch eher bei der Limousine oder einem der seltenen Crayford-Kombis. Einig sind sich die beiden nur, dass es ein 2,8 Liter-Sechszylinder-Motor sein sollte. Was das alles mit linken Zecken, Schmiernippeln und Syrien zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you Bill Kanatas and Ben Salzberg, what is the BIGGEST RISK? Bill Kanatas I look at two different risks, one as an investor slash investment, and one is a developer slash development. Um, so if we're talking about the development aspect first, because, as I mentioned earlier, Ben and I spend our money up front first, before we go to the investors looking for their money, we do a lot of work upfront to mitigate that risk, and in any development, nothing ever goes perfect, as much as we think it's going to be great. It's not going to rain tomorrow. We're going to have sunshine for three weeks, and the bulldozers will be out there, and all sudden, we get rain for three weeks, and the holes we just dug flood, right? So you gotta be able to have that in your underwriting. Right? So when I tell somebody it's going to be 10 to 12 months, you know, I underwrite it 14 months, in case we have an additional four months of interest reserve or operational losses. So we try to mitigate all that risk upfront. When you're looking as an investor, slash investment. Then, you know, the advice I always give to my own friends is look at the first let's start with the development team, right? Do they know how to develop you know, whatever it is, is it a Starbucks? Is it self storage? Is it car washes? Make sure you're right with the right development team, or make sure they have experience, obviously. Make sure that you believe in the area. You know. Is there a reason to put one in Bosie, Idaho, or is there one to put it one in Manhattan, you know? Is there a demand for self storage? And then who's operating it? Is it the Bill and Ben show? Or is it, you know, an operator who knows what they're doing? Is it the first time they're operating? Or do they have, you know, billions of dollars of annual revenue in this space? So I think there's various checklists to kind of mitigate that risk. And then at some point you gotta say, I'm all in and and dive in and know that if there is any problems, your partners will communicate that with you, right? Because it's very, very important to always have communication, you know, with your lender, with your investor, with your general contractor, with the village. You know, Benz, an elected official. And when you're working with the communities, you have to perform. You can't tell them one thing and do something else, right? So communication for me is always the best, Ben Salzberg And then I agree with you on that bill, you know, making sure the constituents in the area, which are mine and that they're they like what we're building and developing in the community, and to mitigate that risk of any type of Fallout, of people being frustrated, being built self storage in the neighborhood, um, you know, that's that, that risk. And of course, then there's, you know, you want to make sure that the job is insured in case somebody gets hurt, you know. And that goes with you Darrin, you know, you have to, you know, PNC, make sure that it's everybody's covered. https://self-storagedevelopers.com/

He runs MotorcarTrader.com in Cornelius, NC, focusing on high-quality examples, deep documentation, and long-term client relationships.Episode HighlightsHow a father-son 1981 Porsche 911 SC Targa set Marc on a lifetime path (and how he tracked the same car down decades later).Why honesty beats hype in classic car sales - and how the right expectations create happy, repeat collectors.The Lake Norman car scene: Cars & Coffee meetups, the Lake Norman Car Group, and a community that values relationships over transactions.A practical reality check on vintage ownership: maintenance, parts, and the joy that comes from doing it right.Why Jaguar E-types are singular to drive - and how originality, documentation, and small details (like red primer on the frame rails) matter.2025 market notes: demand shifting toward well-sorted, higher-end cars as restoration timelines and talent get tighter.The Mercedes lens: from Ponton cabrio to 250 SL, why classic Benz engineering still feels overbuilt—in the best way.Motorcartrader.comYouTube: @MarcShark100---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lake Norman's #1 Podcast & Email NewsletterThe Best of LKNhttps://thebestoflkn.com/Hosted by:Jeff Hammwww.lknreal.comProduced by:www.epicjourneymedia.com Thanks to Safe harbor Peninsula Yacht Club for their support!Support the show

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Mike Benz, former State Department official and leading critic of the Censorship Industrial Complex, to expose how governments and NGOs are working hand-in-glove with Big Tech to police free speech across the West.Mike explains how the EU's Digital Services Act and Britain's Online Safety Act are being used to impose AI-driven censorship, threatening not only European citizens but also Americans posting from within the US. We explore how these laws function as a “digital censorship regime,” backed by crippling fines and international coordination.From USAID funding NGOs to shut down cross-border political movements, to the Hate Lab in Cardiff feeding real-time speech data to UK police, Benz reveals how censorship has become industrialised — and how Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter briefly broke the system. We also discuss the Biden administration's role, the UK's crackdown on comedians and dissidents, and the disturbing reality of AI censorship ‘Death Stars' designed to silence debate on elections, COVID, climate, and more.A deep dive into the machinery of modern censorship — and what it means for the future of free speech in the West.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:32 What Is the Censorship Industrial Complex?06:10 How the Government Outsources Censorship to NGOs11:45 The EU's Role in Exporting Censorship to the US17:30 AI-Powered Censorship & The Death of Free Speech22:05 Twitter Files & the Exposure of Government Pressure28:40 How “Trust & Safety” Became a Weapon35:15 The Role of the National Security State41:10 Elon Musk vs The Censorship Machine47:35 How the Online Safety Bill Extends UK Censorship53:20 The Global Coordination of Digital Repression1:00:45 How NGOs Control the Narrative Across Borders1:07:12 Mike Benz's Plan to Dismantle the Censorship Network1:12:40 Final Thoughts & A Warning for the West Hosted on Acast.

Correction....I mentioned Ebony magazine but it was Essence subscriptions I was talking about. Also, I tell a story about going to the studio to record in my 20s with a co worker's husband. They started a snall label and wanted me to sign....I mentioned how he had all these businesses and ideas, his raggedy cars (and appearance) and limo's. This man was a serious dreamer and hustler. What I didn't mention was years later he got the nice house, C class Benz, and F150 truck. He also had a painting and construction business. The man kept working towards his dreams and achieved many of them. Not his dream for me though

Picking up right where Part 1 left off, Tom Bilyeu and Mike Benz dive even deeper into the shadowy world of influence operations, modern censorship, and information warfare. In this second half, Benz unravels how the censorship-industrial complex formed, the role of AI and social media in real-time narrative control, and the profound consequences of Elon Musk's purchase of X (Twitter) on global discourse and populist uprisings. Tom presses Mike on the “why” behind the intense manipulation of platforms, revealing that the ability to shape language and thought at scale isn't a partisan game—it's about preserving the interests of entrenched stakeholders across the globe. As global populist movements surge and increasingly polarized narratives grip the world—from America to Germany, the UK, and beyond—Tom and Mike scrutinize the connective tissue animating these phenomena. They explore how radical activists are intentionally seeded and activated by NGOs for regime change; what happens when the playbook is turned inward; and how collateral damage is created when hearts and minds are exploited with little regard for social unity. Mike makes the case for radical transparency as the antidote to soft power abuse, arguing that America can remain formidable on the world stage without turning its own institutions into black boxes. If you want to understand why our world feels so unstable—and what it might take to reform it—this is the conversation you cannot miss.

Part 1 Shownotes In this eye-opening first part of a special two-part episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom sits down with Mike Benz—former State Department official, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, media, and soft power. Benz unpacks the tangled web of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the shifting dynamics of global influence, and how soft power has supplanted traditional warfare in the modern era. Tom and Mike go deep into the true origins and motivations behind NGOs, illuminating how many of these organizations operate as statecraft tools, intelligence fronts, and economic levers for the world's elite. From the rise of philanthropic organizations as vehicles for influence to the coordinated manipulation of global media, Part 1 shines a light on the hidden infrastructure behind democracy building, narrative control, and regime change. Mike exposes the intricate interplay between hedge funds, government foreign policy, media, and activism—detailing how policy and profit become inextricably linked through a process he dubs "drafting off of policy." If you've ever questioned who really pulls the strings behind elections, color revolutions, and the headlines you read every day, this episode will give you a radical new lens through which to see the world.
