YouTube Censorship
Really Hits Home
A couple of weeks ago the opportunity came
up for me to send someone an example of the joint handiwork of the Cheverly
Brothers and me, the song parody, “Drones.”
The quick and easy way to find it, I figured, would be to first locate
the lyrics in my poetry archive and then to click on the link for hearing it
performed on YouTube. Here is what
turned up when I did so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfzg4NfV9a4&feature=youtu.be.
In a bit of a panic, I then checked on our
parodies of the Everly Brothers’ songs, “Let It Be Me,” “Cathy’s Clown,” and
“Devoted to You,” and I got the same message, or no message, as it were. Then I did a search on YouTube for the
Cheverly Brothers and got nothing but a complete blank. Each of them had been quite popular,
according to the posted hit count, in the first few days until running into
something that has become familiar to me, what I call the “YouTube wall.” Next I emailed the guy who did the video,
Gary King, to ask him if he knew what was going on, but got no response. I called him on the phone, but all I got was
his answering machine, so I left a message.
Then I did a Net search, putting in his
name and that of the man he does most of his videos for, Jim Fetzer. Finally, and pretty quickly, the mystery was
solved. I found a recent Fetzer show—It
wasn’t on YouTube—and on the show King tells you right off the bat about Fetzer’s
channel being taken down from YouTube.
The Google-owned YouTube had decided to give him the same treatment that Amazon and
Barnes and Noble had given to the book, Nobody
Died at Sandy Hook, that Fetzer had edited with Mike Palacek.
* Their big offense, according to Fetzer, had been the
reporting that they had done on the incident at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School in Parkland, Florida. Our Cheverly Brothers video had been on
Fetzer’s channel, so they had gone with him.
So if the show wasn’t on YouTube, where
was it? Please note that it is on a new
Internet platform called 153news.net. (The “153” is an apparent reference to
the miracle of the
fish-catch
in the Bible.) A description of the
origin of 153news can be found by clicking on the “About us” at the bottom of
the page where the video is found:
Welcome everyone. My name is Jason Boss and I
am the private individual who built 153news.net. I lost my 20,000 subs
and 1400 videos on youtube as I exposed the Las Vegas
hoax. I have been in IT all my life and even spent 4 years working at
Google in the Oregon data center. I know how to build servers, networks,
I am tired of the people telling the truth being silenced. We are in dark
days and the only way to fight this kind of war is to be able to fight the
suppression of information. I have come to meet and know a lot of people
I had never heard of on YouTube. Brothers and sisters who keep getting
silenced and harassed by a company whose motto is "Don’t be
evil". I don’t think our civilization has a ton of time left
if we can’t stop the slow kill that is happening to us all.
As vid.me is turning itself off after 9.2 million in funding, I am nervous that
it only cost $5k to build 153news.net to this point. Imagine what a group
of patriots could do with that kind of cash. The limitations we will
always have will be upon scaling the infrastructure. Right now we have a
few aces in the hole because I own an ISP and can use its resources to help
build this but if this gets too big to quick, we may have some issues.
Because I know these servers will probably be raided, seized, and hacked by the
alphabet gangs and those who hate the truth, I have multi continent
backups. They can destroy our entire server infrastructure and I should
still be able to rebuild the database and files fairly easily. I am ready
for this kind of war.
** Hackers of good...I know you guys are out there, if you find an exploit of
any kind, please please please
email me at jboss008@gmail.com and let me know what the exploit was.
In our endeavor for truth and waking people up, I know most of you
hackers are out for the same things we are out for and this is your chance to
help us get secured and stand a chance against paid hackers that will be
coming.
I have brought a partner into 153news.net. Someone a lot of you probably
know and someone who I respect highly. FromDeath2Life is the official
partner of mine in this quest for the truth endeavor. We have no funding,
no big pockets, but we believe that if we build a platform that isn’t sold out,
that isn’t scared to fight, and that will let truth reign supreme, the
funding will take care of itself. Till that day we have dedicated what we
can into keeping your videos safe and censorship free.
I want to thank folks like Side Thorn and Granny Conspiracy for their support
of this site and for being tough old patriots there, not just laying
down. This site belongs to all of you guys out there...this is the
people versus goliath.
If there was ever a person who sounded like he was
worth rallying around and supporting, Jason Boss is the one. Notice he says that it was his skeptical
coverage of the Las Vegas shooting that got him banished from YouTube, versus
the Parkland incident for Fetzer. These
are the two big mass shooting events that have occurred so far during the Trump
administration, and the Google people running YouTube, or the ones behind
Google, have become very wary about too much truth getting out about them, and
they have decided to practice the 21th century version of book burning in order
to try to keep the lid on.
Another victim of the Parkland school-shooting news
suppression banished from YouTube, whose radio talk show Fetzer called the best
on the Internet, is the Irishman Richie Allen. The mention of Allen led me to “YouTube Has Permanently Banned the Richie
Allen Show and Has Deleted All 76,000 Subscribers and 1,400 Videos.” The entire article is certainly worth your
attention, but this quote from Allen is particularly poignant:
This
is fascism, this is tyranny, this is terrifying and we knew that this was
coming didn’t we? Yes, there are other platforms but Google/YouTube is the only
game in town. I could upload elsewhere, but those platforms don’t have the
subscribers, it would be a waste of a lot of time for very little reward. The
establishment knows this. This is why these monopolies were allowed to develop,
so that they could come after shows like The Richie Allen Show when they felt
like it. Over the last eighteen months, they have limited the reach of the
channel by shadow banning it, in other words making it difficult for users to
discover it. They even began demonetising the videos
before they had even been published and then re-monetising
them after they’d been watched over 5,000 times, meaning by the time the ads
went on the vids, most people had watched them. I’ve talked about this and
demonstrated it with photographic evidence. Now they’re about to delete the
channel, the coup de grace.
The
hue and cry raised upon Allen’s behalf seems to have had an effect, because I
see that as I write this article, on July 4, he has a newly
posted video on YouTube. Part of the hue and cry was raised by people
like Sarah Westall, whose YouTube
interview of Allen is also well worth watching.
It
should also be noted that not all of what King and Fetzer had previously put up
on YouTube has been taken down. Here we
can see the May 8, 2018, installment of their New JFK Show. That sort of makes me feel particularly
honored that the Cheverly Brothers videos, all of which went up on YouTube
before May 8, cannot now be found on this near monopoly Net platform.
The
struggle against censorship by YouTube on purely political grounds is apparently
an ongoing thing, as we can see from this Daily Mail article on a
conservative PragerU presentation that was blocked
from view at schools and libraries for a time by YouTube. There are even big players in the GAME
(government, academia, media, entertainment) who are calling for just this sort
of censorship to take place. See this article
on a New York Times op-ed by an
academic parrot of the mainstream narrative.
The concentration of the power over our minds in the mainstream media is
already bad enough, but that possessed by Amazon and Google is truly
frightening, and we can already see how they are abusing it. The episode of the firing by Google of
software engineer James Damore
for writing a memo explaining the disparity in number of employees in the upper
reaches of technology fields between men and women sheds a great deal of light
upon the direction in which that power abuse is likely to go, at least at
Google.

153News.Org
As
it happens, at least in the short run and from a personal standpoint, this
story has a happy ending. Gary King used
his own software when he created the Cheverly Brothers videos, rather than
relying upon YouTube instructions to create them. Therefore, he still had them after YouTube
took them down. (That’s a word of warning to the rest of us.) In a few days, at my urging, of course, he
was able to get them back online, this time where they are likely to stay for as
long as the platform does, which is at 153news.net. Here is your opportunity to do your part to
help 153news.net to stay up from now on.
Even more than Jason Boss, I would very much appreciate it if you would
go to each of the videos and forward the web address for each one of them far
and wide and tell your recipients to do the same. You might locate them the way
that I started out to locate Drones,
now that I have updated the links. Just
go to the bottom of the page for Drones, You Won’t Fool Me, Bibi’s Clowns, and Devoted to
Truth and click, in turn, on the link to
the video that you find there.
* The two also teamed up as editors for
the very educational Political Theater in Charlottesville: Faux Terrorism
in Three Acts Produced by Leftist Zealots.
That book has my entire essay, “The Charlottesville Operation,” and Amazon, as
of this writing, has not yet seen fit to banish it from its offerings.
