We all need to stop using YouTube as the default platform and migrate to better places. Let YouTube own the “how to” and funny memes market. Serious political discussion needs a better home.

I have seen people using Rumble for a youtube replacement, does anyone have any feedback? It would be great to find some site that is not governed by "Big Brother" "Big Pharma" and other known liars.

Glenn Greenwald is on Rumble for that very reason. I concur with Rob as to YouTube as the default platform. YouTube's explanation as to the removal is reasonable (definition "bat sh*t crazy") but an allegedly private company can set whatever rules it choses. Is anyone surprised or outraged?

You are right, they have the right to post what they wish and to stop what they wish. They (YT) have revealed themselves to be highly biased and unreliable on politics however..

YouTube/Google does what the government tells them to do.

In addition to Greenwald, Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson and several other "dissidents" of the Establishment have their shows on Rumble. I also love Rumble for the fact they didn't cave to the pearl-clutchers' demands to deplatform/demonetize Russell Brand during the whole "sex scandal" kerfuffle a few months ago.

Other options that don't censor are Odysee and BitChute.

I agree we should all be moving away from YouTube. However, while that is a good start, it will ultimately take the content creators also moving to alternative platforms to make any meaningful impact.

Thank you for saying all of this. I am reading Naomi Wolf's book about the fascism on the left titled "Facing the Beast" about the rather bizarre sort of "apartheid" enforced against the unvaccinated amongst whom I am one.

Nice to meet a fellow member of the "control group" (haha). I'm also a big fan of Naomi Wolf. She is one of many people who kept me sane (and not feeling so alone in my views) during the scamdemic.

I really like Rumble. The UI isn't quite at YouTube levels but for most things that makes no difference.

Rumble is good 👍

Thank you for the reminder. I will try to use Rumble more.

It’s time to stop doing business with the enemy. Rumble is free speech oriented. RFK jr needs to advocate a policy that will strip Google of its monopoly and its data mining if customers. Needs to be applied to all social media companies. A 1,000,000 fine per day per customer if they ever data mine us again payable to the people whose information was stolen.

Google is a monopoly that should be broken up under our anti-trust laws. This won't happen under the Biden administration as it favors monopolies that push its anti-American propaganda. Hopefully it will happen under the post-Biden administration.

Facebook is now making it difficult or impossible for me to respond or to even share other people innocent posts. My deep sense is that I am being targeted for the Kennedy posts I continue to share. He will be here in Raleigh NC next Friday, and how are people even going to know unless that are part of our "choir"?!I t is my deep sense that few if any people ever see my Kennedy posts. They are tightening the screws on all of us, since they are not yet able to entire shut us down. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Beyond maddening. Makes my blood boil

I just hope RFK can prevail with his lawsuit

These are very dangerous times.

Put everything on every platform, including a note that says "if you can't find something here, look at Rumble, Twitter, FB, Instagram, Truth Social etc etc " We need to reach everybody, by any means possible.

Amend the complaint in RFK, Jr. vs. YouTube and Google to add a claim for censorship of a discussion of that legal case itself--a self-serving ploy of a scoundrel corporation.

So is there any way to access the talk with John Gilmore? Could not find it on the African American channel which this article said was there?

Google == CIA operated “private” mega-entity

It has been said by some with valid experience in the internet, that Google was in fact created by the CIA originally.

No surprise that YouTube removed this video. It removes any video that goes against "official" narratives, or promotes true freedom of speech and free-flowing of information.

RFK, Jr. is dangerous to the current US government regime because he speaks too much truth and exposes government corruption. All the censorship and attacks against him have been coordinated by the US government, Pharma, Rockefeller Foundation and other assorted special interest groups who stand to lose by being exposed.

Very well said and very well analyzed. This goes back to John D. Rockefeller, the old oil baron and his creation of allopathic medicine as being the ONLY valid means of healing and his branding all others as "quacks" and so it goes.

Expand full comment

100%. Nice to see others have a solid grasp on that history of medicine.

Expand full comment

The story behind allopathic medicine is well hidden and nearly impossible to find unless one knows where to search. This information is deliberately buried, as is the relationship of big oil to big pharma.

It is indeed not as accessible as it should be (no surprise as to why). I actually stumbled upon it years ago while researching vaccines. Both super disturbing and super eye-opening at the same time.

Switch to Rumble. The powers that be view anything Kennedy says as dis, mis, or mal-information. That’s how they will defeat him.

Welcome to how conservatives feel. Blacklisted and shadow banned.

I see other videos, form people who are here on Substack, being removed from YouTube. Most of the time I watch the videos before they are removed. I've never seen any content that would violate YouTube's policy. But what I did observe is that YouTube focuses on the removal of videos that come from specific people. It's almost like they are just waiting for that person to post a video and then they remove it and give that person a "strike". If you ask me, this is targeted censorship, but they excuse it with violation of policy (which it never really is).

What others do, put a harmless teaser on YouTube and then link to your Rumble and Odysee. You also need to be on locals.com

I'm a strong supporter of RFK despite not agreeing with all of his positions. However, I need to point out that a private company is not capable of violating the first amendment. The first amendment only controls the behavior of the government. The collusion between social media companies and the government to censor speech is a violation by the government NOT by the private companies. The issue of possible election interference is a separate one, and I am not addressing that here.
