YouTube Deplatforms Retired Navy SEAL Who Exposed Tribal Elder Nathan Phillips' Stolen Valor
PJ Media ^ | 02/26/2019 | Debra Heine

Posted on 02/26/2019 4:55:59 PM PST by TexasGurl24

YouTube last week deplatformed a YouTube channel that specialized in exposing Stolen Valor cases. "Stolen Valor," of course, refers to cases where dishonorable pretenders are caught making fraudulent claims of military honors they didn't earn. Retired Navy Seal Don Shipley has made it his life's mission to expose these shameless charlatans. His channel had 232,806 subscribers at the time it was taken down and had been in operation since around 2008.

He told PJ Media that he thinks his channel was taken down because he had "outed Nathan Phillips," who had "masqueraded as a Vietnam Vet."

Once your voice is silenced, you can be easily exterminated and no one will even know. You’re invisible. Voiceless.

Hardly. All it means is you won't enjoy the opportunistic benefits of the past.

When people demanded to hear Rush Limbaugh back in the nineties, the means emerged even though the owners of those means didn't want it to emerge.

What WILL be harder is making "gadfly" your vocation.

Yes, I see a problem. That is not Don Shipley’s Youtube channel.
Nice of somebody with 42 subscribers to mirror Shipley’s video
but it doesn’t help him put out content to his 200k+ former subscribers.

Notice we don't hear too much these days from Milo Y., Gavin McInness, Laura Loomer since they've been effectively shut out of the internet. Even Alex Jones today reaches only a fraction of the audience he did when he had access to the big platforms.

The Trump administration has done nothing to stop the censorship, even though there is a legal basis to do so.


Just more evidence that Trump does not control the DOJ.

The GOP wing of the Uniparty is just fine with taking Big Tech cash and using them to silence dissent from the K Street - Chamber of Commerce open borders agenda.

Have you "looked" for them?

I submit those who simply "ran into" them on the internet are little more than "observers," anyway.

Google/YT is an enemy of the people working for themselves and the deep state. They have an alternative agenda contrary to making and keeping America the greatest nation. They are full blown leftist pigs and need to be dissolved or broken apart. The sooner the better.

This is an ongoing war by leftistech to marginalize anyone who is not a leftist. Once your voice is silenced, you can be easily exterminated and no one will even know. You’re invisible. Voiceless.


Leftists? When was the last time you heard a peep out of the GOP on this? There is bipartisan beltway support for Big Tech censoring Main Street.

Its a private enterprise, they can do what they wish...

Build your own business


While you sit up on your high horse the Uniparty is busy attacking and destroying any grassroots opposition to them. They thank you for your support.

Hardly ignorant. As if not knowing some made-up word is a big deal compared to something such as, oh, George Washington’s life or the course of the RevWar.

How about just “terminated”? Rather than arrogantly coming up with a new pointless word?

Yeah, because that’s all it means - the page/account was taken down and stopped. As if that really needs a new word because it “didn’t exist 5 years (more like, 20 years) ago”?

That would be “grandma” to you. ;-)

Although luckily I’m not one, not by a longshot.

Which is exactly what the Uniparty wants. They do not want any deviation from the political status quo. They hate Generation Youtube “gadflys” like Jordan Peterson because they draw support from a wide range of people. So they can’t be easily isolated and Alinsky’d.

Something very dark and unAmerican is happening right now in Big Tech. Buy a clue and stop excusing their behavior before it is too late.

Oh, I agree completely.

I just don't believe the sky is falling like those who would LIKE to make being a gadfly their occupation would have you believe.

I submit you a Luddite who hasn’t given a moment’s thought to the larger issues here.

The folks that are being targeted by Big Tech are exactly the people we need most because they are connecting with a younger generation and bringing them conservative ideas. THAT is why the progressive corportist Uniparty is so terrified of them and wants to silence them.

Because "terminated" is not correct. And there's nothing "arrogant" about using a superior descriptor.

Get back to me when you have an actual argument instead of ad hominem conjecture.

Conservatives are made by experience and insight, not advertising. "Popularity" is the tool of the empty headed liberal. We now KNOW our ideology is legitimate and widespread; the YouTube ideologues have served their purpose.

In large measure, these people, like Rush Limbaugh, are simply resonating with what's already residing in their listeners. Their ability to make a living off that resonance does not change what's already in those listeners.

YouTube leftists are creepy goons and know nothing knuckleheads. They’d much rather believe a pack of lies rather than deal with any truth that shatters their political ideology.

Zuckerberg is, indeed, little and, he is certainly a pussy!
Good observation, John.
Stolen Valor is a crime against those of us who have served. And yes, even if you were a mechanic servicing a water cooler in the Pentagon, you have served. Just don’t lie about being in Vietnam unless it is true.
