The Michael Moore-produced documentary “Planet of the Humans” was pulled from YouTube overnight due to a “copyright claim by a third party” — prompting writer-director Jeff Gibbs to denounced the removal as a “blatant act of censorship.” “It is a misuse of copyright law to shutdown a film that has opened a serious conversation about how parts of the environmental movement have gotten into bed with Wall Street and so-called ‘green capitalists,'” Gibbs said in a statement Monday. “There is absolutely no copyright violation in my film. This is just another attempt by the film’s opponents to subvert the right...

I was about to turn in a few nights ago when I saw the video embedded below on my favorite Igbo YouTube channel, UGWUMBA. They’re an African production company that features a variety of cultural entertainments, mainly short cultural documentaries about the authentic traditions of various Igbo societies. The people who run this company are a rare breed on so many levels; and like many American patriots, they too have critical questions about the pandemic -- especially what is really behind the lockdowns, at least in Nigeria. This is why they must have posted the video. The video features...

Dang. 13 minutes is all it takes for a keen kid to BTFO Michelle Obama. https://youtu.be/x1DuRkX1cAI

Big Tech companies are aggressively tamping down on COVID-19 “misinformation” — opinions and ideas contrary to official pronouncements. Dr. Knut M. Wittkowski, former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, says YouTube removed a video of him talking about the virus that had racked up more than 1.3 million views. Wittkowski, 65, is a ferocious critic of the nation’s current steps to fight the coronavirus. He has derided social distancing, saying it only prolongs the virus’ existence, and has attacked the current lockdown as mostly unnecessary. Wittkowski, who holds two doctorates in computer science and medical biometry,...

I refuse to pay for them.

A new pre-print study from NYU Grossman School of Medicine shows that the addition of zinc to a hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin COVID-19 regimen may result in a statistically significant reduction in mortality. Dr. Seheult discusses the interesting results and possible confounders of this retrospective observational study in this video. Note: This video apparently discusses a topic or medication that has been flagged by YouTube's computers and is temporarily unavailable. Please visit our website to view this COVID-19 update:

A brilliant website is tracking and republishing videos that are being censored by YouTube. altCensored features videos from across the political spectrum, and many that aren’t political at all, that have been removed by the video streaming giant. The goal of the website, which was created in 2019, is to “be the reference for YouTube censored content through a community effort across ideological lines” and to “raise awareness of increasing online censorship,” according to a statement provided to Gateway Pundit. In order to do this, altCensored tracks videos that are placed behind a “limited state” firewall by the platform. “YouTube...

The far left tech companines are moving at light speed to eliminate free speech in the West.The YouTube-Google CEO announced recently that the world’s largest video platform would only allow WHO approved talking points on their platform. They will delete other videos that are not approved by the China-dominated health organization.Facebook enlisted several far left groups to ‘factcheck’ articles written by conservatives in an effort to prevent the real truth or a different point of view from being disseminated to the public. This is happening every day. Being one of the most influential conservative news outlets in the US...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (deep breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is from the official GOP account, not a meme page. What's even happening anymore. Trump is teaching them how to win.

Kevin James short film, 2 minutes. It *should* be funny. Under our circumstances though; it's not. https://youtu.be/wfGAktuU93s  

At the end of April, Susan Wojcicki, YouTube’s CEO, had an announcement for those who wished to upload content to the preeminent video platform: The platform will remove any videos that have “problematic” information about the Wuhan Virus. It appears now that YouTube decided that a man who holds doctorates in computer science and medical biometry, is “problematic” for disagreeing with the World Health Organization, because his video, with 1.4 million views, just disappeared. The federal government and the states, however, may provide a solution to the tech giant problem. In the CNN interview in which she announced YouTube's...

A video shows a white couple bending down and kissing the boots of black power group members to apologize for slavery. The eight-minute clip appears to have been filmed in First Citizens Plaza in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was uploaded to the YouTube page of the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, a radical faction of the black nationalist Black Hebrew Israelite movement, under the title: “WHEN HEATHENS #RECOGNIZE TRUE #PROPHETS OF #GOD.” Two people who had expressed an affinity with the group were responsible for the December 2019 attack on a JC Kosher Supermarket in Jersey City, New Jersey...

We already know that YouTube considers the World Health Organization to be an 'authoritative source' to the extent that it will remove (censor) videos that run counter to the views promoted that organization by labeling such videos as "misinformation." However, the real question should be does YouTube also consider the Chinese Communist Party as an "authoritative source" in light of the fact that it is becoming increasingly apparent, even to liberal news outlets, that WHO is dominated by the CCP? Domination to the extent that nothing that runs counter to CCP propaganda is allowed to be presented in the WHO...

How ironic that the 1984 iconic advertisement that Apple used to introduce the Macintosh computer "played on imagery from George Orwell's 1984 novella [sic] presenting Apple as rebels fighting a technocratic elite. The spot certainly was a lot gloomier than the company’s previous commercials, that used Apple celebrity spokesman Dick Cavett." In truth, "there was nothing cuddly about the new Macintosh ad, which was firmly rooted in the burgeoning dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic." Ostensibly the advertisement's intention was "to remove people’s fears of technology [.]" In fact, Apple claimed that they "wanted to democratize technology, telling people that the power was...

The Google-owned video clip service acted after repeatedly warning Mr Icke that he had violated its policies by posting misleading information about the coronavirus pandemic. "YouTube has clear policies prohibiting any content that disputes the existence and transmission of Covid-19 as described by the WHO and the NHS," The tech firm subsequently went further by banning any material that....explicitly disputes the efficacy of guidance about social distancing and self-isolation that has been issued by the WHO and/or local health authorities.

VIDEO The World Health Organization is looked upon by YouTube and many others as an independent "authoritative source." However, is WHO really independent? As you can see, even Foreign Policy Magazine, which is hardly a "right-wing" news outlet since it endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, described WHO as an "accomplice" of China which is run by the Chinese Communist Party. Since Foreign Policy magazine and, increasingly, many other respected outlets are describing WHO in a similar manner, that means if they are correct, ultimately YouTube also considers the Chinese Communist Party as an "authoritative source" since is controls WHO.

Every YouTube employee should get down on their knees and thank the video creators, mostly working from home, for making that site an enormous success over the years. Instead, the attitude emanating from YouTube recently has been one of denigration and mockery of those same creators in favor of promoting mainstream media channels despite the fact that YouTube has grown primarily because viewers wanted an alternative to the MSM output. The latest example of a YouTube official sneering at the very creators who brought them to the table of success comes in the form of YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal...

Google owner Alphabet saw a significant slowing of ad revenue in March due to the global pandemic. YouTube had just over $4 billion in advertising revenue for the first quarter of the year despite a slowdown in ad sales after the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in March. Google began reporting YouTube revenue for the first time earlier this year, disclosing that the video giant earned $15.1 billion in ad revenue in fiscal 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the platform, which is run by longtime Google executive Susan Wojcicki, brought in $4.7 billion. YouTube's first quarter was not...
