YouTube Begins Purging Alternative Media as the Deep State Marches Toward WW3

By Matt Agorist

If you get your news from mostly far left sources, chances are you’ve heard YouTube and Google are censoring or blacklisting left and progressive sites and content. Conversely, if you get your news from far right sources, chances are you’ve heard YouTube and Google are censoring their content as well. If you want to know which side is being truthful in trying to expose their censorship, it is both of them.

In the last week, we’ve witnessed a massive crackdown on alternative media — the likes of which are unprecedented. Quite literally overnight, YouTube issued a sweeping update and demonetized thousands of video in accounts across the political spectrum.

If you ask Paul Joseph Watson from Infowars.com, it’s because they are cracking down on pro-Trump pages. Pro-Trump personalities Diamond and Silk were also hit with the demonetization purge and they also claim it’s because YouTube is going after Trump supporters.

While both Watson and Diamond and Silk had their videos demonetized, the rabbit hole goes far deeper than just pro-Trump sites.

If it were just pro-Trump videos being hit with the censorship sweep, then why is Luke Rudkowski, founder of We Are Change, also being purged?

The Free Thought Project spoke to Rudkowski Friday and asked if any of his many videos that were clearly critical of Trump were demonetized. He tells us that all of them were.

Rudkowski is most certainly not a participant of the left/right paradigm, nor is he a Trump supporter, but he was hit as well.

We asked Rudkowski what he thought about people claiming that it’s their pro-Trump status getting them censored, here’s what he said:

Obviously that is not the case since it looks like they hit me first and my channel is clearly very critical of Donald Trump for the real reasons that the MSM would never touch.

It’s not just We Are Change and pro-Trump folks either. The folks over at World Socialist Web Site — a far left organization with a clearly advertised agenda — is also being hit.

According to a scathing report from wsws.org, they aren’t alone either. Google, YouTube’s owner, has reportedly undertaken a similar attack on alternative viewpoints. As wsws reports,

Truthout, a not-for-profit news website that focuses on political, social, and ecological developments from a left progressive standpoint, had its readership plunge by 35 percent since April. The Real News , a nonprofit video news and documentary service, has had its search traffic fall by 37 percent. Another site, Common Dreams , last week told the WSWS that its search traffic had fallen by up to 50 percent.

“This is political censorship of the worst sort; it’s just an excuse to suppress political viewpoints,” Robert Epstein, a former editor in chief of Psychology Today and noted expert on Google, told wsws.

Those who’ve been paying attention predicted this crackdown and watched it come to a head at the beginning of this month when the Anti-Defamation League applauded Google and YouTube for taking on hate speech and extremist content while having the ADL be the ones who decide what gets flagged.

“The fight against terrorist use of online resources and cyberhate has become one of the most daunting challenges in modern history,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “Google has been a leader in this area from the beginning. The reality is extremists and terrorists continue to migrate to and exploit various other social media platforms. We hope that those platforms can learn from and emulate what YouTube is doing to proactively identify and remove extremist content.”

For those that don’t know, last year, the ADL labeled the cartoon, Pepe the frog, a symbol of hate. This irrational behavior is hardly indicative of a third party who ostensibly possesses the skills to determine what people should and shouldn’t see online.

Given these recent moves, we can infer that what is likely happening is far more insidious than pro-Trump censorship or pro-left censorship. While the ADL is likely using their newfound authority to silence those with whom they disagree politically — by labeling them extremists — this new censorship appears to go after anyone who challenges the establishment.

Disagreeing with the status quo is the new hate speech.

Those who challenge the corporate government paradigm are being lumped in with extremist groups and being flagged as hate speech. Sadly, only those who get their information from these alternative sources who are unafraid of challenging the oligarchy will even know this is happening.

It takes years of hard work to build a platform that is able to break through the static shoved out by the mainstream media and reach people still plugged into the matrix. However, once they see the establishment for what it is, this cannot be unseen. The powers that be know this and appear to be moving in to stop it.

Imagine if you never came across alternative media that challenged your thought process and made you question the government. Imagine if you never ‘woke up’ to the atrocities committed by the state on a daily basis. Imagine where you’d be right now without that information. Now, imagine that information is snubbed out forever. Is that a world you want to live in?

We didn’t think so.

If ever there were a time for people to get over their political, religious, racial, sexual, or any other differences — it is now. While we may disagree on different issues, if any one group is allowed to be silenced, it is only a matter of time until everyone else is silenced too.

What makes freedom work is the ability for contrasting ideas to be presented — even if you find them repugnant. When we stop the dissemination of ideas, only one idea prevails and it is certainly not freedom.

The good news is that many have seen this day coming and have made moves to combat it. One such move is the social media platform Steemit. 

This uncensorable network is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can post and read what they want — and even earn money. It works in a similar fashion to Reddit; however, instead of being banned or censored for posts, if other users like your content, you make money.

As the deep state continues to tighten its grip on humanity, we need to continue to resist through outlets like this one. Also, it has never been more important to inform your family members and friends of the blatant censorship taking place under their noses. Please, encourage them to seek out alternative media and bookmark it as those like Google, YouTube and Facebook — who have a monopoly on the dissemination of information — may make it all but impossible to find in the near future.

For now, Americans, along with the rest of the world, would do well to remember these most powerful words by the German journalist and poet, Christian Johann Heinrich Heine, “Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.”

Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.

  1. israelwars is the adl. the adl is attacking itself.

  2. like in the twilight zone, i returned to my hometown one day and from out of nowhere everyone was a morbidly obese transexual welfare recipient (western NY). i am guessing they wont be silenced, so they are one group we dont have to stand with in front of bergrael.

  3. Maybe that’s a “sign” we should turn off our digital devices more often and get out in the public sphere to network and inform as many people as possible we’re being systematically turned into digital slaves.

    And when we use the internet, work to create new independent networks to share information. Most Alt is not typically free of establishment tentacles. We need to cooperate more than ever.

  4. So the liberal psychopaths who couldn’t worship Obama and Clinton with enough fealty for 8 years while they bombed the ME and Africa to dust are now surprised the monster they built is turning on them ( Luke Rudkowski not included on that lib psycho list).

    • I think it was Bush who slaughtered a million in Iraq and refused the Taliban offer to turn over bin Laden for trial to a neutral nation in order to destroy Afghanistan. I was unaware he was a liberal.

      • Nah, he’s a satanist, and no arguments about Jr’s warcrimes. Just the fact that liberals cheered while Obama and Clinton slaughtered black and brown skinned people in Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Mali, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iraq and worship him because he is half black and she’s a woman perplexes me. Liberals did not back Bush when he did this, they rightfully bitched.

      • I think he was as liberal as Stalin.

  5. Why are they doing this? So they can totally control the narrative. To do this they must get rid of anyone they don’t totally control even if they basically agree with them. Why? Because even those who agree with them they MIGHT disagree with their agenda down the road so they have to be preemptively silenced. Why do they want to totally control the narrative? So they can get us to go along with anything and everything. Totalitarianism can’t tolerate ANY dissenting voices or POTENTIALLY dissenting voices.

    • The sites that are attacked/blacklisted will turn out to include most of the sites that are independent enough to promote stories that are harshly criticial of CIA/FBI/DOD/NSC/Deep State. MSM is controlled by those forces for the most part and usually shies away from publishing that material. So now it is labeled as either “controversial” or “conspiracy” and lumped with “fake news” and “hate speech”. Censoring the critical material is the main point of the exercise, with fake news and hate speech serving as a plausible denial cover for the exercise.

  6. Just stop using their platforms. They believe themselves to be all important. If people made them irrelevant, this would come to an end.

    • yes, 3000 (thousand) of us stop using facebook, google, etc… just a drop in the bucket compared to the other 3000000000 (billion) users, they won’t even notice.
      laughing all the way to the bank
      the way to get them is to talk about it with colleagues at work, people in your home cell, get them to realise where the truth doesn’t lie (replace this particular word with exist), we need the entire population of the world to say “NO” to their machinations

      • the enitre population of the world LOVES submission to authority. …and the more abusive, the more they like it. It’s the inactivity of the 1-3% who overtly proclaim their love of liberty, that baffles my mind… We are talking about 70-250 million people (or 3.5 – 10 million Americans) who refuse to get off their collective asses and make something like the Free State Project (or even a Free County Project in their own state) develop, which is the problem. And you don’t even have to relocate there full time. TIME-SHARE SOME PLACES YOU FOOLS!! What happened to the spirit which enveloped the younger generations during the mid 1960s to the late 1970’s? We couldn’t wait to get the frig out of our parents’ houses and make our way… And we weren’t afraid to just pack up and relocate somewhere if it became our fancy. Observing the 18-40rs now is like watching old farts in young bodies wallow in senior centers, or rooting for the paint to dry on the walls of their local public schools…

        • Maybe they’re doing their own thing, in their own way. Your way isn’t for everyone.

          • Louis Charles | August 13, 2017 at 8:46 pm |

            fine. THEN DON’T COMPLAIN WHEN COLLECTIVISTS FORCE YOU INTO THEIR SCHEME OF THINGS.

          • Jim Lunsford | August 14, 2017 at 5:33 am |

            You’re so funny! You think I should join your collective to fight some other collective. What a putz. I’m my own man. You are not a man. Real men don’t need everyone on their side, we get it done whether its one or many. Now go back to your mommy and let her kiss your little booby. Now, didn’t she make it all better? What a loser.

  7. Matt, I love your work. This is certainly a crucial area for anyone expressing or getting information outside of the mainstream. But your closing tagline “Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings,” while getting to the core truths about how the controllers disdain common people, also continues to reify the extreme lies about “the holocaust.” The Nazi’s burned books, but the only human beings they burned in the crematoria died from starvation, typhus, or being worked to death. Bad enough, of course. But many people (the Russians, for instance) suffered much worse than Europe’s Jews during WWII.

    • As long as Brother Nathanael Kapner is still on You Tube explaining exactly what you are trumpeting, I am not worried about YouTube. I assume you know who he is, and his website www dot realjewnews dot com Yes?

    • Mankind’s common enemy has always been an evil fascist establishment who are quite content for us to fight among ourselves, so long as we don’t turn on them. If the masses would put aside our differences (colour, race, religion and ideology) that they have long used to “divide and conquer” us then the establishment would have something to worry about. Having traveled the World extensively i’ve come to realise we all have much in common. When it comes to issues where we see things differently is it really that hard to “agree to disagree”?

  8. I just did a search on YouBoob and it turns out Saddam DID have WMDs and launched them at the US!

    Fortunately the missile defense system shot them down.

  9. I don’t like any party deciding what I can read or write. That’s why Human Rights tribunals turn me off totally. I don’t wish to use Google anymore or You Tube, so where do I go?

    • The article mentioned Steemit.

    • Editors decide what you can read or right. What are you going to do about it?

    • Would you defend Hitler’s right to hate speech, knowing that it led to the slaughter of 70 million? The dead cannot respond.

      • No one was forced to read or listen to Hitler in their hearts. Standing in front of someone spouting evil garbage doesn’t make you a follower, unless what he is saying is what you believe or want to believe. No one should have to babysit their fellow citizens thoughts.

      • I would defend it even more had your ancestors been in the group of 70 million. Which is a number you pulled completely out of your fat ass.

      • People listen to hate speech every day on the news and from billionaires who advocate population control and are actively pursuing it, Bill Gates. Poisoning your air with heavy metals and sulfuric acid, killing developing country’s children with tainted vaccines, making mega bucks with the assistance of Progressives allowing Monsanto to regulate food and destroy anyone in their way, what are you doing about all of this hate speech Dale. How many more will die and suffer needlessly with Autism, Alzheimers, cancer. How many more children will have to be beat, sodomized and raped by democrats like Hillary, Biden, Obama and their human trafficking slave rings? How many more sacrifices must we endure from the Satanic Progressives selling our autonomy to Satanic Zionist Elite FAMILIES. How dare you sit around with all of this HATE SPEECH in front of you, why do you defend it?

        • You are comparing Bill Gates to Hitler? You are tragically brainwashed.

          • bananachange | August 15, 2017 at 12:40 pm |

            Nope -just making a point about your selective outrage.

          • Most progressives are opposed to Monsanto and the corporate fascism it represents.
            You make your misguided point by comparing Gates to Nazis. I do not defend hate speech; I oppose all of it, but I do make a distinction between Gate’s misguided views on some issues and the Nazi glorification of race and violence.

            Advocating providing birth control to poor women is not like killing millions in Death Camps, but you have struck a note of moral equivalency in your hate-filled rant.

            From your post, you seem to hate progressives whom you identify with Satan. If that is not selective outrage, nothing is. Objectively, Satan is war and violence: progressives oppose war and violence, which is promoted by the religious right, the fascist right, and the MIC, which is hardly composed of progressives.

            I think you have turned the truth upside down, a favorite trick of Satan, comrade.

          • bananachange | August 16, 2017 at 11:38 am |

            Nazis were progressives: National Socialisf German Workers Party. Progressives are poisoning the earth (yes Bill Gates) and injecting children with vaccines that have killed countless numbers in developing countries. And progressives allow the vaccines and poinson air and food to cause Alzheimers and Autism and Cancer here. Progressives love eugenics and population control. This is not of God. http://www.newworldwar.org/geoengineeringPDF.pdf

            When we see how the progressives elites sell and rape children we know who they serve.

            If you don’t call them out and instead line Al Gore’s pockets. You are a hypocrite.

  10. If the left and right monitored the hate speech themselves, Google and Facebook would have no pretext to censorship. Hate speech, which promotes discriminition and/or violence is not free speech; it is the enemy of free speech in that it promotes crushing the rights of others.

    As an example, I have been banned at Twitchy and Townhall, both hate speech media for the far right….as well as from opednews, which claims to be “tough…progressive.” My crime? They wouldn’t tell me why I was censored but I was flagged for calling the advocacy, on a tough progressive website, of “firing all liberal teachers” a fascist concept. Tolerance of intolerance is destructive of human freedom rights.

    If the left and right stopped punishing those calling out efforts to deny others their rights (racism and fascism) and instead applied rational standards to blocking hate speech, in the name of human rights, there would be no pretext for the major private media sites to do the job for them.

    Hate speech is not free speech; it is a prelude and justification for stripping others of their rights and violence.

    Free speech is based on tolerance, not of speech which promotes discimination and violence, but of human rights. Hate speech teaches intolerance and is the enemy, not a protected form of behavior. The Germans learned from history that hate speech leads to hate crimes and genocide; that is why they now prohibit speech that promotes or encourages discrimination and/or violence. Free speech is not a suicide pact but a concept that cannot survive being abused in order to shut down the rights of others.

    I do approve of shutting down hate speech and am aware of how that could be abused. None of this would be happening if right and left did not practice repressive tolerance, and I would also ask: is the abuse of free speech, under the just intention of blocking hate speech, worse that the historical results of hate speech itself, which in my lifetime, has led to the slaughter of over 100 million innocent people?

    Banned from Twitchy, Townhall, and opednews, I continue to write for quora, which permits free speech but not hate speech. RAther than ditch Google or Facebook, which have promoted more free speech than any other media in history, boycott those sites on the left and right which tolerate speech whose message is hatred and intolerance. Go to the roots. We can oppose abuse by Google and Facebook of the just cause of blocking hate speech while at the same time refusing to visit or write for websites that tolerate hate speech. We can excise the tumor while at the same time dealing with the underlying cause, the repressive or fake tolerance which enables the destruction of human rights, disguised as “free speech.”

    • “promotes discrimination”? I have every right to discriminate, any damned way I choose on my own property.

      • 1,Not if it is public accomodation like a hotel or restaurant which depends on public infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, police, courts, fire dept, etc)to function and
        2.Not if it is based on lies.

        Example: Trump says Mexicans are rapists (undoc immigrants have 50% lower crime rate than us citizens and 99% lower murder rate) and so I as a landlord do not rent to you because I believe his lies. Collective libel is much more criminal than individual libel.

        If your hate speech demonizes and group and promotes discrimination, it destroys human rights by taking away the rights of others.

        If you refuse to rent to a Mexican because you heard Trump say they are criminals, the crime is on Trump….you are just a useful idiot being used for his pandering to bigotry.

        Human rights trump property rights. My right to be treated equally under the law trumps your right to treat me unfairly. Hate speech is the prelude to hate crimes………wake up, you may be next Louis.

        • I do feel sorry for you.

          • No need to feel sorrow for me. I have lived a free life, supporting human rights, working for an end to war and justice for all. Save your sorrow for those who are damaged by hate speech. Your response masks inability to deal with the issues.

          • Alice on Morphine | August 12, 2017 at 4:27 pm |

            have you ever owned rental property? Didn’t think so.

          • In fact, I have been renting out 3 properties. I just sold one, am fixing up and living in the other after renter ruined it, and am renting two in California. I think this shows how poor your judgement is.

          • Jim Lunsford | August 13, 2017 at 8:06 pm |

            So were you eating the paint chips in that apartment? I thought so!

          • Mahatma Muhjesbude | August 12, 2017 at 4:54 pm |

            Dale, so then according to your thinking, should I be charged with hate speech crimes if I ‘demonize’ and discriminate against, and promote violent overthrow, if necessary, of an out of control tyrannical government and specific criminal individuals in its regime who continue to violate the constitution with illegal totalitarian laws and police state actions against us in my speeches and writing?

            And I’ll be honest with you, I really do hate people who want to control and prohibit my constitutional liberties in an attempt to enslave me for their own socialist agenda benefits? And I will publicly vilify them with the most caustic invective I can put forth.

            When you answer that with the expected, but wrong response, I’ll then demonstrate the flaw in everyone’s perception here of the problem with so-called hate speech.

          • What brings you to that conclusion: the hate speech laws concern rhetoric that demonizes populations based on gender, background, ethnicity, etc. If you advocate violence against the state, there are laws that will put you behind bars, as the Constitution gives Congress the power to put down insurrections.

            There is nothing socialistic about blocking speech which promotes crushing the rights of others. I take you are a right wing paranoid.

            Would you have permitted Hitler to incite his genocide against Jews, slavs, and others because it is wrong to block hate speech?

            Hate speech usually refers to incites to violence against certain groups: Jews, blacks, Mexicans, etc. You can hate the government all you like but when you promote violence, you better be damned sure that you are prepared to be locked up.

            Do I think armed revolution is ever justified. Yes, I agree with the arguments of the Declaration of Independence that a ruler without consent is not legitimate and if no other means are possible, after all have been tried, armed revolution is justified.

            Trump is such a ruler, having lost the public vote and being disapproved by about 2/3 of the citizens. Are we justified in an armed revolt to remove him? Not yet.

            Do armed revolts succeed? Rarely. Often they make things worse The best strategies for removing illegitimate rulers like Trump is non-violent resistance, which in 1989 toppled 10 totalitarian regimes. A Civil War with 600,000 dead did not end discrimination, but the non-violent Civil Rights movement did.

            The fact is that the militarized police would love you to confront the with violence, giving them the right to kill you on the spot. So don’t be stupid, and don’t confuse your paranoid right wing fantasies with the rational reasons why hate speech is the enemy of a society that wants free speech and other human rights.

          • Louis Charles | August 12, 2017 at 8:29 pm |

            ok. the feeling sorry offer is off the table.

          • Thank you.

          • Sparky McBiff | August 14, 2017 at 11:01 am |

            The Liberal definition of “hate speech” is anything that doesn’t agree with their PC talking points. Thus anyone who has not bought into the identity politics of the far left is automatically spewing hate speech and it is OK to use violence against them because they’re “Nazis”.

          • Hate speech is speech which promotes discrimination or violence. It is collective libel and the enemy of free speech. Identity politics is fascist code for defending the rights of the oppressed. Anyone who uses hate speech is aligned with the Nazis and other movements based on scapegoating.

          • Howard Allen | August 14, 2017 at 3:51 pm |

            The venom in these people attacking you is so unbelievably poisonous, and says all anyone needs to know about them. Psychopaths each and everyone of them…..like a pack of rabid dogs.

            They get such a buzz from spitting their venom that they are totally incapable of having a rational, polite and amicable exchange of views. I bet they couldn’t even if they tried! Except among themselves, of course.

        • You really are an idiot. That’s not hate speech, it’s just a simple fact. You can’t even pay attention to a complete thought. They included their own property, but no, you gotta go off on your I’m-more-moral-than-everyone-else rampage and tell all of us just how incredibly stupid a person you are. It is hard to believe that anyone as shallow as you are is even capable of properly wiping their own ass. Or do you get your mommy to help you with that? Please learn about these things before you bore the world with your stupidities. Try out this new thing called thinking. It’s all the rage with the people that matter. Hint: You’re not one of them.

        • You’re lying. Trump actually said “SOME” of the illegals are criminals.
          However in the eyes of a Leftist telling the truth is a punishable crime.

      • Ah, the western myth of pirate poppity.

    • Offensive speech IS protected speech. Inoffensive speech needs no protection.

      • It is one thing to offend, as when I say you are a stupid moron. That is an opinion It is quite another to libel people with hate speech which promotes denying their rights or encouraging discrimination or violence against them. Hate speech is the enemy of free speech for it aims to take away rights. Freedom of speech does not protect speech which crushes the rights of others.

        If Hitler’s hate speech had been stopped, there would have been no 100 million slaughtered in WWII. We do not theh have the right to libel an individual, and hate speech is libel of entire populations.

        Offensive speech is quite different, idiot.

        • Speech cannot “crush the rights of others”. Others are free to respond with speech of their own (a counter argument, for example) or free to ignore.

          • When Trump demonized the Mexican immigrants, hate crimes against them spiked. Hate speech is the prelude and justification for hate crimes. All genocides have been preceded by hate speech calling the future victims vermin, parasites, cockroachs, sub-humans, etc. This sets up the justification for slaughter. Speech IS vital behavior and has consequences. If Hitler’s hate speech had been stopped, there would have been no 70 million innocents slaughtered.

            Libel laws recognize how speech CAN crush the rights of other. If you spread the rumor your rival in selling cars is a pedophile, it will crush his rights. If you spread the lie that Mexicans are rapists, it will lead to landlords refusing to rent to them and hate crimes. That is a fact, my friend. The Mexicans who were demonized by a man with a huge megaphone had no way to correct the record in any way comparable to the hundreds of millions listening to Trump. And would you tell the Jews whom Hitler first demonized, then exterminated they had the right to respond with their own speech as a way to stop Hitler. it doesn’t work that way, and that is why today, if a new Hitler arose in Germany, he would not be allowed to promote hate crimes with his hate speech.

            Hatred is a poison that destroys genuine free speech. Those who poison the well should not be defended but stopped.

          • Libel laws are already in place. So are laws against speech that incite imminent lawless actions.

            You mean like how Hillary called trump supporters racists, sexists, etcetcetc which could be said to have incited violence against trump supporters???

            I would not seek to silence people like her though (but to respond with speech of my own). I prefer to let people show me who they are and I can respond accordingly.

          • Show the evidence that hate crimes against Mexicans spiked? And not the ones committed by useful idiots.

          • “Police are investigating a wave of alleged hate crimes against Muslims, Hispanic Americans, black people, ethnic minorities and the LGBT community in the wake of the US election.

            Attackers professing support for Donald Trump have been accused of numerous attacks in the 24 hours following his shock victory, including death threats, physical assaults and racist graffiti.” independent.co.uk Nov 10,2016

            “After reporting a “huge spike” in the number of hate crimes in the immediate aftermath of President Donald Trump’s victory in November, the NYPD said that the hate crimes have since “leveled off”—though they are still up compared to the norm.

            In December, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said that the city saw a 115 percent increase in bias crimes since Trump defeated Hillary Clinton on a platform that included promises of a wall along the Mexican border and a “shutdown” on Muslim immigration. At the time, Boyce noted that hate crimes were up 35 percent for all of 2016 in contrast with the previous year, and that in the weeks following the November 8 election, there were 43 incidents—compared to 20 during the same time period of 2015.” observer.com

            “Amid Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s claims that Mexican immigrants are a criminal source of America’s alleged decline, the latest Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations Hate Crime Report, released today, says such violations against Latinos in this metropolis increased 69 percent last year.”
            laweekly.com

            splccenter.org reports since the election,”Overall, anti-immigrant incidents (315) remain the most reported, followed by anti-black (221), anti-Muslim (112), and anti-LGBT (109)…”

            Hate speech is the prelude to hate crimes. While libeling one person is a crime, in the US you can libel millions and get away with it. it’s as tho robbing one person (of their dignity and reputation and thus rights) were illegal but robbing millions was permitted..

            The scapegated, whether Jews in Nazi Germany or undocumented immigrants in the US, are chosen “to displace anger at targets of hatred (Goebbels)” BECAUSE they are the most vulnerable and least able to defend themselves. When Trump libel millions of Mexican immigrants with nazi-style Big Lies, the victims, seeking to live under the radar,were unable to respond with proportional “free speech, ” just as the 0.6% of Jews in Nazi Germany were not able to match Hitler’s hate speech which made their speaking out dangerous.

            I would silence all those whose speech serves to silence others, which promotes discrimination or violence, individual or collective. I would do this in defense of free speech since speech IS behavior and action and if it works to destroys the rights of others, as hate speech does, it is the enemy of free speech and should not be tolerated.

            If you tolerated racist or fascist hate speech, you are complicit. I can understand then why you would defend it, but for the sake of free speech, speech which urges intolerance cannnot be tolerated. Tolerance of intolerance is destructive of freedom and human rights and is a fraud, enabling evil leaders like Hitler and Trump to scapegoat the most defenseless populations to displace anger on targets of hatred, as Goebbels taught and Hitler taught Trump, who read his speeches as his bedtime reading, according to his ex-wife and his friend who gave him the book of Hitler’s speeches, which Trump admits (he called it Mein Kampf in the interview, saying “A Jew gave it to me (the friend is not Jewish)……” and then later in the interview: I did not have the book ………………………..and if I did, I didn’t read it.”

            He might have added: “……..and if I did read it, I did not learn anything from it………….and if I did learn how to use political propaganda, i did not use it…………..and if i did use it, it didn’t work.”

            There are laws against libeling individuals but not populations; the first crime leads to harming a person’s reputation; the second, historically, has led to genocide.

            So why not just punish those people dumb enough to respond to what some lying politician is saying? You would have flunked civics and critical thinking had your school offered them. You should go back to your teachers and spit on them for turning you into such an ignorant fool. Then remember that you allowed them to keep you ignorant. Maybe you should try reading about these subjects before you tell the entire world just how ignorant of them you so obviously are. What a joke.

          • Would you then parade millions of Germans before the Nuremberg Tribunal and let Goerring and Goebbels free, since they only lied but the true criminals are those who believed their lies.

            Actually, i like this idea; let the millions who believed Trump’s Big lies face the music!

          • Jim Lunsford | August 15, 2017 at 12:18 pm |

            I rather like the idea of you eating more paint chips. It’s amusing to listen to the mentally deranged rant on about things they know nothing about. You have the mentality of a very stupid child. One that has no real curiosity, which is a sign of intelligence, but a child that is merely spoiled and demanding of all around them. You truly are pathetic. Now go back to renting your tents and calling them apartments.

          • Fuck off, troll.

          • Jim Lunsford | August 16, 2017 at 10:37 am |

            Oh, so anyone who sees through your pathetic self-loathing is a troll. In that case, I imagine you see lots of them as you are such an obvious loser. All you have is hate. Maybe if you had spent your time educating yourself, you wouldn’t have so much time to contemplate what a loser you made yourself. All your hate is nothing but weakness in yourself. Now go wash that nasty tent you rent out to junkies.

          • No, calling me self-laothing and claiming all I have is hate is trolling.

            I respect myself and live by the law of compassion. Now, fuck off.

          • Jim Lunsford | August 17, 2017 at 9:01 am |

            You live by the law of compassion? Now that’s funny! Your compassion has gotten you zilch on this thread. Maybe it’s because you are confused as to what the word means. It seems more like you live by the law of hate, envy, and hypocrisy to me. Your self-loathing is well-deserved. I love the respect you show to your compassion by following it with a fuck off. What a fucking loser.

            What are you talking about?
            Trump never “demonized” Mexicans. He merely stated that some of the illegal ones coming over were criminals and rapists. This is actually very true.
            There were NO “spike in hate crimes”.
            You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.

            You’re just spewing Leftists talking points. According to the Left anyone who doesn’t agree with their views completely is therefore by definition a Nazi and because it is OK to “punch a Nazi” this justifies the endless violence and hate coming from the Left.
            The Left has shown themselves to be the real fascists because they are using violence to shut down any opposing opinion.

            Whereas it is the Right (the real conservatives) that are generally far far more tolerant and liberty minded.
            All throughout history it is always the Left that is responsible for mass murder and violence.
            And by the way, Nazis were Leftists.

          • Real violence. Real murder. Real torture. These things matter a lot more than words. The DOD, CIA, FBI, etc. are doing these things to innocent people every day while grotesque idiots out of “The Hills Have Eyes” and other horror movies chatter on about their ugly cult religions and who they think they should lynch because they enjoy that.

        • Wrong. Lee Stranahan is one of the best journalist out there. He is even being followed by Obama. He was a conservative who did many articles on the corruption of the CIA, the FBI, BLM, the DNC, etc. He had videos on Youtube going back 10 years.
          He informed us why McMaster was there wrong man for the job. He is very ant-Trump agenda. He did a video on it. Youtube banned him. For that!

        • And by the way, I’m from NYC. it’s one of the most racist places in all of America, I think. It is beyond segregated. Black people go on the Upper West/East and those racist scums treat them as if they don’t belong there. Remember that black kid who bought a belt in Barneys? They stopped hims nd called the police because there was no way in their mind, he could have afforded that belt. This is quite common in NYC.
          Black people trying to live in Soho, Greenwich Village etc, good luck. That color isn’t wanted in those hoods. Unless you’re famous like JayZ.
          NYC a liberal town, a Democratic stronghold, a place where everyone is “equal” is one of the most racist places in America. You think they are any different than the man who calls them nigga? I think they would prefer to hear it. Can confront it better. At least the ones who say it directly, are upfront.

          • Jim Lunsford | August 16, 2017 at 10:42 am |

            I agree with you, even though I’ve never been to NYC. I live in Florida. It seems that every time I’ve met someone from NYC, we could talk decent for a little while, but once they found out I was raised in Georgia, they just assumed I was born with a KKK membership. However, I didn’t find Chicago to be much different. While it is far from perfect in the south, I think the racism is a lot less down here than it seems to be up north. Yet, I keep getting told that I’m a racist just because I’m mostly white and am completely southern. Oh well, if people weren’t so crazy they’d probably just be boring. 🙂

    • Hate speech is the most sacred of speech – Voltaire.

  11. If Steemit is the answer to this problem, why do we not see ONE of the “alternative” vid producers and self-actualized “journalists” promoting it? All I see through the lens of this article, is a bunch of (typically) whiney “libertarians” who promote the free market ideology, yet are actually complaining when the owner of a private, unlicensed format chooses his (their) “dress code” inside their own “building”. Theoretically, Alex Jones, Luke R., David Seaman, Vin Armani, Derek Broze, Adam Kokesh, Larken Rose, the Dykes couple, High Impact guy… you name ’em. They should all be getting rich in Steemit cryptoCurrency by now. Plus, I should be receiving an email notice whenever they post something interesting… as I now do. Why is this even an issue?

  12. The liberal media seems intent on providing the narrative for civil war. Let’s hope they are successful, the left is woefully unprepared for such and event.

    • Ya think? Prepare to be surprised.

      • Look at Charlottesville, democratic mayor tells his police to stand down, violence occurs, now liberals cry “Alt Right”

        • Liberals cry “fucking nazis”.

        • The mayor sounds a little “alt-right”, aka fucking Nazi.

        • “Alt-Right”=Nucking Fazi. Et tu, Brute? Sounds like the mayor was either in cahoots with the nucking fazis or was cowed by them. I think I need to clear a couple things up for you. 1) I am not a liberal, I am a leftist. They are not the same thing. 2) It sounds like you are trying Democrat-baiting with me. It won’t work. I resigned from the Democratic Party in 1988, and have not seriously thought of going back in all those 29 years. If you are serious about America for Americans hop on the first ocean liner headed for Europe. I can assemble a troupe of friendly natives to help you pack. Gosh, I could even throw in a really short haircut, if you like.

          • America 1st. | August 15, 2017 at 5:20 am |

            Child like all liberals or leftists (don’t really see the difference) you babble nonsense. Congratulations on your successes, tearing up cities and spreading chaos and dissent works well for no one.

            One has to hope that rational Americans will take up arms and begin picking off your kind over the next few years.

            I for one see no value in erasing history or allowing the third world scum to rise to the surface.

            However history shows all civilized races fall to the uncivilized eventually, nothing new about that.

            Keep trying to label me, I laugh.

  13. This started in detail and purpose with Cass Sunstean, Samantha Powers husband. All this, during the “Obama” years. Here’s some background. (wikipedia)

    Cass Sunstean, the head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in 2009, published a work called Cognitive Infiltration, which detailed censorship steps the government could take to counter what it considers to be “conspiracy theory”. Google is now one of the players in this government corporate interface to attack the First Amendment. From the Wikipedia synopsis of the paper—– “Sunstein co-authored a 2008 paper with Adrian Vermeule, titled “Conspiracy Theories,” dealing with the risks and possible government responses to conspiracy theories resulting from “cascades” of faulty information within groups that may ultimately lead to violence. In this article they wrote, “The existence of both domestic and foreign conspiracy theories, we suggest, is no trivial matter, posing real risks to the government’s antiterrorism policies, whatever the latter may be.” They go on to propose that, “the best response consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups”,[35] where they suggest, among other tactics, “Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action.”[35] They refer, several times, to groups that promote the view that the US Government was responsible or complicit in the September 11 attacks as “extremist groups.”

    The authors declare that there are five hypothetical responses a government can take toward conspiracy theories: “We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. (3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories. (4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech. (5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.” However, the authors advocate that each “instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions. However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4) and (5).”

    Sunstein and Vermeule also analyze the practice of recruiting “nongovernmental officials”; they suggest that “government can supply these independent experts with information and perhaps prod them into action from behind the scenes,” further warning that “too close a connection will be self-defeating if it is exposed.”[35] Sunstein and Vermeule argue that the practice of enlisting non-government officials, “might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts.” This position has been criticized by some commentators[36][37] who argue that it would violate prohibitions on government propaganda aimed at domestic citizens.[38] Sunstein and Vermeule’s proposed infiltrations have also been met by sharply critical scholarly critiques”

    • That sociopath is also an advocator of genocide /population “control” and Samantha Powers looks like a man to me. Thanks Democrats for letting your party become a stepping stone for psycho’s and totalitarian thugs.

  14. For F****s sake. Nothing is being purged. They are being demonitized. The videos and content are still there. No one is being silenced or having their rights infringed upon.

    • Delisted in Search, not Recommended and comments may be deactivated. OK. what are you talking about, maybe you didn’t read the blog Google put out. Clearly it’s discrimination against anything right of Maxine Waters.

  15. So the AI algorithm is a Blacklist, the Blacklist is determined by connections and your previous “wrong think” content. It’s been outed as a Blacklist because people have put up innocuous videos and been demonetized, thereby exposing their accounts as Blacklisted. Google is Blacklisting users for the wrong speech. Google is changing history by wiping out white or european history “search for American Scientists” “American Inventors” “European people history” “European people art”

    So what’s next, is my son going to be shot for being a white male 3 years from now?

  16. Do you not understand the definition of the word “purge”? or are you intentionally being misleading? There is no reference in this article to a single video being “purged”, only de-monitized. Totally misleading!

  17. It’s to DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Remember in chess, the goal is to get the King, not just wipe out the chessboard by swapping pieces. In this case, the goal is the NWO, Globalism, the fulfillment of Talmudic prophecy, total human enslavement by the “Master Race,” the death of all Christians, and the decimation of the white race because we’re the only race that sees through all the evil of the “Master Race” and will not allow it. To corral all us little people, they must first silence the opposition, get rid of our beloved Leader, take away our guns, chip us and impose maximum surveillance, and rob us blind. This little stunt by J-tube is just another move in achieving the ultimate aim. But what these bozos do not realize is that Americans are way smarter than they are, and where there is a will, there is a way, and they will never rob us of our will. Trump is in for 8yr, the white race is reproducing like crazy now, the borders are closing fast, America is beginning to flourish again and grow, and ALL AMERICANS ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE INTENTS AND DESIGNS OF THE JSCUM ! As such, we finally know who the real enemy of the United States of America is, and losers, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU !!

  18. Its kinda crazy that you can watch six old men pull a train on a 17 year old girl, no problem, but when you start saying wouldn’t it be nice if we stopped killing each other you get censored!
