YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are moving ever so closer to being run by the CCP if they aren’t already. The next four years will be more than interesting. Now Rebel News is suspended from YouTube and it is thought YouTube may shut them down completely. Rebel’s Ezra Lavant wrote ‘YouTube just suspended our channel. I’m worried.
We can’t upload any new videos or livestream for a week. We can’t communicate with our 1.45 million YouTube subscribers.
This comes after YouTube’s decision last month to demonetize us (to ban all ads and donations). That knocked a $400,000 hole in our annual budget.
I’m worried that YouTube plans to completely shut us down within weeks. (And I know a certain Canadian prime minister who would like that to happen before he calls an election.)
We have published 15,000 videos on YouTube in the last six years. We’ve never had a single “strike” for violating their terms of service.
And then suddenly, last night, YouTube alleged that a video we published more than three months ago broke their rules.
You won’t believe the title of that video: “If Big Tech can silence Trump, they can silence anyone”.
It’s pretty Orwellian that that’s the one they’re censoring.
We have re-uploaded that video here. It’s only 6 minutes long — I encourage you to watch it, to see how innocuous it is:
YouTube claims that video violates their “election-related misinformation policy.” That policy reads in full:“Don’t post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below: Presidential Election Integrity: Content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of any past U.S. presidential election.”
As you can see, our video just didn’t do that. It wasn’t about election fraud at all — it was about Big Tech banning Trump from social media. The closest that video comes is showing Trump’s short video message telling Capitol Hill protesters to go home. But showing that video can’t be the problem — that exact same Trump video is currently on dozens of other YouTube news channels, such as CNN.’https://www.rebelnews.com/daily_livestream_april_14_2021?utm_campaign=el_crisis_4_14_21&utm_medium=email&utm_source=therebel

Sleepy and most if not all those he appoints to various positions conduct themselves according to the dictates of that one who deceived Eve in the Garden and continues to deceive through various lies of which one is climate change! Sleepy and those working with him loath America and this is vividly seen when ‘In February, Beverly Wright linked the legacy of slavery and the Jim Crow era with energy development. In March, President Joe Biden appointed Wright to his White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
Wright, the founder of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, is joined on the council by Jade Begay of the Indigenous Environmental Network, who co-wrote a 2018 op-ed in EcoWatch contending that climate change is “colonialism” and “cultural genocide.”

Biden has named several activists that tie energy development to racial bigotry to the Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
The appointments came just as the Biden administration was purging several scientists appointed by President Donald Trump from two Environmental Protection Agency panels, the Science Advisory Board, and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee.
“We know that we cannot achieve health justice, economic justice, racial justice, or educational justice without environmental justice,” Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement announcing the advisory council, adding:
That is why President Biden and I are committed to addressing environmental injustice. This historic White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council will ensure that our administration’s work is informed by the insights, expertise, and lived experience of environmental justice leaders from across the nation.
The White House did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Daily Signal on Friday.
Biden has been aggressive on environmental issues since taking office in January.
The Biden administration’s budget proposal includes $1.4 billion on “environmental justice” initiatives.
“The [fiscal year] 2022 discretionary request for EPA makes historic investments to tackle the climate crisis and to make sure that all communities, regardless of their [ZIP] code, have clean air, clean water, and safe places to live and work,” EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan said Friday in a statement.
The council has 26 members representing six regions across the country as well as Puerto Rico, plus officials from the EPA and the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Biden also appointed Susana Almanza, founder of the Austin, Texas-based People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources, to the council.
A mostly favorable 2019 article in Hilltop Views, the student newspaper of St. Edward’s University in Austin, noted that Almanza’s office had a poster on the wall of Che Guevara, a murderous military commander in Fidel Castro’s Cuban communist regime.
The article quoted Almanza saying of energy companies, “we are fighting big monsters; they’re not little ones.” She added that zoning of polluting chemical plants “look[ed] at people of color as indispensable [sic] … like ‘it’s OK if we pollute them and if they die or if they get cancer.’”
Biden also named Tom Cormons, of Appalachian Voices—an environmental group operating in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee—to the council. Cormons wrote in 2012 that fossil fuels pose the greatest threat to the next generation when commenting on a project by Dominion Virginia Power.
“Dominion plans to continue locking us into dependence on the fossil fuels that are one of the greatest threats to our children’s future,” Cormons wrote in a piece published by C-Ville, the website of a magazine covering Charlottesville, Virginia.
Seven members of Biden’s environmental justice council, including Wright, were signatories to a July 2019 Equitable and Just National Climate Platform, which was a partnership between the National Resources Defense Council and the Center for American Progress, both advocacy groups on the left.
The others members of the White House council that were signatories to the 2019 project were Robert Bullard of the East Michigan Environmental Action Council; Richard Moore of the Los Jardines Institute; Harold Mitchell of ReGenesis; Michele Roberts of the Environmental Justice Health Alliance; Nicky Sheats of both the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance and the Center for the Urban Environment of the John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy at Thomas Edison State University; and Peggy Shepard of WE ACT for Environmental Justice.
The Center for American Progress and National Resources Defense Council environmental justice platform states:
For too long, systemic racism and injustice has left economically disadvantaged communities, tribal communities, and communities of color exposed to the highest levels of toxic pollution from the burning of fossil fuels.
These vulnerable communities are increasingly affected by climate change, and they also have the fewest resources to prepare for and recover from its harm and hazard.
The platform also asserts: “Unless justice and equity are central aspects of our climate agenda, the inequality of the carbon-based economy will be replicated as we build a new clean and renewable energy economy.”
In February, Vox reported on Wright’s conflating racial discrimination and energy development.
“People often forget the legacies of slavery, of Jim Crow segregation, and out of that chain, laws that were deeply entrenched within the social structure of the Southern environment that worsened our quality of life,” she told Vox.
“That legacy resulted in communities that had been inundated with toxic facilities, impacting our health, the value of the homes where people live, causing them to have higher cancer rates, and to eventually be relocated from within the midst of these facilities,” Wright said.
Days before her March 29 appointment to the White House council, Wright gave testimony at a Department of Interior forum, asserting racism is “central” to fossil fuel operations, saying that she hopes Interior Secretary Deb Haaland takes action.
“I urge Secretary Haaland to undertake an environmental justice review of the federal oil and gas program in order to address the racial discrimination that is central to oil and gas operations,” Wright said.
Begay’s 2018 op-ed, written with Ayse Gursoz of the Rainforest Action Network, asserted a racial element of pollution.
“It’s essential to note that Indigenous vulnerability and resilience to climate change cannot be detached from the context of colonialism, which created both the economic conditions for climate change and the social conditions that continue to limit the capacity for Indigenous resistance and resilience,” the EcoWatch piece said.
Both historically and in the present, climate change itself is thoroughly tied to colonial practices. Greenhouse-gas production over the last two centuries hinged on the dispossession of Indigenous lands and resources.
In an interview with gal-dem.com, a media outlet that describes itself as a publication telling stories of people of color and “marginalized genders,” Begay said, “We are the ones who know how to maintain ecological balance and the most important action needed now is to stop all new fossil fuel development.”’https://papundits.wordpress.com/2021/04/12/biden-environmental-justice-appointees-equate-energy-production-fossil-fuels-with-racism/
Have you ever heard of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT)? Well, supposedly ‘The mission of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) is to prevent terrorists and violent extremists from exploiting digital platforms. Founded by Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube in 2017, the Forum was designed to foster technical collaboration among member companies, advance relevant research, and share knowledge with smaller platforms. Since 2017, GIFCT’s membership has expanded beyond the founding companies to include over a dozen diverse platforms committed to cross-industry efforts to counter the spread of terrorist and violent extremist content online.’https://gifct.org/about/
As you can see the GIFCT is just another Big Tech Communist/Marxist/Socialist organization working with and for the UN, the CCP and the World Economic Forum!
Facebook is a Marxist/Socialist/Communist stooge organization.
‘An event on Facebook was titled “Kill the racist bills.”’https://www.newswars.com/video-blm-stages-insurrection-at-iowa-state-capitol-to-kill-racist-bills/
‘In February I explained the many reasons that the Oligarchs fear Christianity. Their attacks on Christians started shortly after the mostly peaceful protest at the Capitol on January 6th. Suddenly Christian Nationalism was a “threat to our democracy.” “Radicalized Christian nationalism is one of the biggest threats facing the US” wrote Business Insider.
Give me a break.
Their latest attack against Christians is the fact that many of us refuse to get jabbed with an experimental vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate among the vast majority of the population.
“White Evangelical Resistance Is Obstacle in Vaccination Effort” according to the New York Times. “Christian nationalism is a barrier to mass vaccination against COVID-19” wrote the dimwits at The Conversation. These people love any excuse to demonize white people and Christianity.
Meanwhile the Big Tech overlords at Facebook are “fact-checking” posts from people who are dying from the vaccine. Mark Zuckerberg is also partnering with the government to socially shame those who decide to not get the experimental vaccine with “Vaccine Verified” profiles. Since when is our medical history Facebook’s business?
The great irony here is that Zuckerberg himself isn’t vaccinated, “yet.” Maybe he just doesn’t want to risk his skin peeling off in reaction to the Covid shot. Or perhaps it’s the clear link between AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clots in brain. Does Zuckerberg think that getting the Moderna vaccine, which works for “at least” six months, isn’t really worth the risks? I don’t blame him!
Risks aside, Christians also face a moral dilemma with regard to the fact that “fetal-cell lines played a vital role in the development of all three vaccines.” Perhaps this is why the vaccine, like abortion, has become a de facto religious ceremony for the followers of the demonic critical theory religion that is sweeping Western society.
Do you remember anyone ever virtue signaling online about getting a flu shot in the past? I sure don’t. Suddenly it’s “cool” and “hip” to let the entire world know about your medical history as a sign of your commitment to the “cause” of oligarchic tyranny.
How utterly stupid and foolish.
In other news: half of Americans support a “vaccine passport,” which means our society is rapidly fragmenting into two distinct economies: the economy of sane and rational people who do not want an experimental vaccine injected into their body and those who handed over their bodily autonomy as a science experiment so things could “go back to normal.” Newsflash: things are never going back to normal, just like they didn’t after 9/11.
This is one of the many reasons I have been pushing Christians to start building our own economy separate from all of this madness. Soon enough, we won’t have any other choice.
Ultimately the Oligarchs in power want us all worshipping the State, “stuff,” and “science” as god. God Almighty gets in the way of that. They want us enslaved to sin to become even more spineless, docile, complacent, and obedient pigs. Christians and God stand in their way of total and complete control. The experimental vaccine isn’t about health and it isn’t about politics.
It’s about power.
Power over your body. Power over your mind. Power over your soul. Resist. Keep the faith. We are children of God.
After all: “my body, my choice,” right?‘https://news.gab.com/2021/04/05/the-vaccine-has-become-a-religious-ceremony-that-christians-have-a-right-to-reject/
Now, with Hong Kong gone Taiwan is next and then the UK, USA and Australia but perhaps not in that order.

Australia’s THE CONVERSATION is Leftist to say the least! I receive their emails and rarely go to their web site as I already know it will be full of climate scam heresy and other left leaning lies. Putting that aside ‘A new study finds that virtue-signalling signals virtue. Specifically, in this case, that Australians consistently tell pollsters they care about climate change – over 80% as a rule, including a majority of conservative voters. But like the alarmists who buy seaside mansions, fly jets to climate conferences and otherwise exhibit glittering hypocrisy, they don’t vote the way they talk. It’s not exactly that they’re kidding; it’s that they’ve learned their lesson too well, that climate awareness is all about striking the right pose. Irony can indeed be ironic sometimes.
The authors of the study exhibit considerable irritation in The Conversation, asking “If 80% of Australians care about climate action, why don’t they vote like it?” But a better question would be “Why do 80% of Australians claim to care about climate action?” which is all that polls actually reveal or can reveal. And part of the answer is that they’re ashamed not to, especially in front of strangers, which is why polls too often underestimate unpopular opinions. And another part is that Australians, like others, have been assured far too often that climate action is all gain and no pain.
The authors reach a different conclusion: “Our research suggests the question about social support for climate action in Australia is no longer: ‘does climate change matter to enough Australians?’. Instead, the critical question may well be: ‘does climate change matter enough to Australians to shift climate politics?’.” And they admit to at least one eye-opening experience.
“We conducted our survey in July 2019, two months after the Coalition won the federal election. Its victory came as a surprise to many, as the election was sometimes billed the ‘climate election’, implying climate change was a bellwether issue. The climate policies of the two major parties were night and day, with the Labor Party campaigning on ambitious mitigation targets and the incumbent Coalition maintaining the status quo of very limited climate policy.”
It opened one eye. But to prise the lid up on the other, ask yourself who billed it as the “climate election”? Activists and advocates, political and private. Not voters. They all went yeah yeah sure and signalled their virtue, then voted their convictions. The authors do note that “We found about half of Australian voters (52%) said climate change was important when deciding their vote in the 2019 Australian federal election. However, climate was the most important issue for only 14% of voters.” But again, the real measure of how people vote isn’t how they say they vote. As with buying and selling, the acid test is what they actually do with a scarce resource, in this case their ballot.
It’s not just Australia. German climate worrywarts gave themselves something new to worry about with a major survey by the European Investment Bank, now part of the green machine along with far too many woke-like financial institutions, that found that youth aren’t behind Greta the way the old folks are. As Pierre Gosselin put it about a news story on the study, “Shockingly, ‘Only 26 percent of young people believe that we should use less fossil energy, primarily for climate protection reasons,’ the two Die Welt journalists reveal.” Young people also don’t want to limit speeds on the famous Autobahns, or subsidize electric cars. “Geht es um CO2-Verbote,” Die Welt admits, “ist die Bereitschaft zum Klimakampf unter den Generationen anders verteilt als gedacht.” You can say that again. (And if they did it would be “When it comes to CO2 bans, the readiness to fight climate change is distributed differently among the generations than expected.”)
In this sense the global warming alarmists have won a massive Pyrrhic victory. They’ve got everyone claiming they care about climate and a fairly large number believing they do care. But it’s happened at the expense of driving people’s real beliefs underground where they have become inaccessible and unrealistic. Many don’t really think it’s an issue, or at least not one worth sacrificing for, many are sick of being nagged, and many believe it’s an issue on which no significant sacrifice is required.
As the Conversation authors note about Australia, “Across the political spectrum, the proportion of voters willing to accept a small personal cost is relatively similar: 60% of progressive voters, 55% of conservative voters.” Yes. A small one. So when asked to make a significant sacrifice, they balk. It’s not what they were told was needed.’https://climatediscussionnexus.com/2021/03/31/talk-green-vote-brown-mate/
All of us wherever we live must have concern with the relationship that Creepy Joe has with the CCP. ‘Over the last several weeks, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) has been outspoken about the Biden administration cozying up to the Chinese Communist Party, particularly when it comes to cabinet positions.
“China poses the single greatest geopolitical threat to the United States over the next century. We need serious, clear-eyed policymakers to confront that threat,” Cruz warned. “One of the really disturbing patterns we’ve seen with Biden nominee after Biden nominee is their rush to embrace the worst elements of the Chinese Communist Party. I will continue working with my colleagues to protect our national security.” ’https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2021/02/06/watch-sen-ted-cruz-warns-about-the-really-disturbing-pattern-with-bidens-cabinet-nominees-n2584328?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=02/06/2021&bcid=08b5a1e2f2263b83e918fb56d7a12a3e&recip=26169367
I am old enough to remember Amos and Andy, the Honeymooners and Red Skelton. I thought they were funny but would they get a laugh today or be hauled off to court?
‘Republicans vote on Tuesday, Democrats vote on Wednesday, is this a crime now?
There’s a reason the Soviet Union, East Germany, China and North Korea never produced a Jerry Seinfeld – much less a Lenny Bruce or Sam Kinison.
Humor was a crime in those places.
America is becoming such a place – because the Left doesn’t think it’s funny to mock anything the Left considers serious – and intends to make sure that message gets out.
As in the case of Douglass Mackey – a wise-acre who faces ten years in federal prison for posting unfunny (to the feds, now the sic ‘em troops of the Left) memes designed to annoy Leftists, including supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Mackey created an African Americans for Hillary mock-up that encouraged people to “avoid the line” and “vote from home” by texting “Hillary” to “599925.” When they did, they got a reply from the actual Clinton campaign hipping them to the fact that they’d been punked.
Whether this is funny or obnoxious depends on your sense of humor; but is it criminal? Deserving of a decade behind bars?
The feds say yes.
Mackey has been charged with serious felonies, as in conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate persons in the free exercise of a right and privilege secured to them by the Constitution” – notwithstanding the obvious fact that no threat was leveled at anyone, nor was anyone oppressed – except perhaps according to the Leftist definition of “oppression,” which amounts to having their feelings hurt.
This is becoming an actionable offense in Joe Biden’s Woke America.
“The defendant exploited a social media platform to infringe one of the most basic and sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution: the right to vote,” said Nicholas L. McQuaid, acting assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
Except he did no such thing. He made and published a visual. No one was prevented from voting or threatened if they did.
Mackey’s memes – he made several others – are the Internet era’s equivalent of the prank phone call, perhaps. Good thing the Jerky Boys are retired.
It’s the filling out of magazine subscription cards and the ordering of a dozen pizzas or late-night taxis, sent to the home of a person who who didn’t order them, as a gag.
Actually, they are not even that as no one got the bill for anything – or got something they didn’t want delivered to their home.
They saw a meme on their Twitter or Facebook feed.
This constitutes “depriving individuals of their constitutional right to vote”?
So says the indictment.
One could make a stronger case that weaponized hysteria over “the virus” did more to actually deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote” – by terrorizing them to not vote, something Mackey never did.
But don’t expect Fauci or the Scarf Lady to be indicted.
Once upon a time, humor was not only funny – it made you think. George Carlin, for instance. His most famous rant had to do with who owns you – and what these owners want, which is – as Carlin put it –obedient workers. People who don’t question and who are kept from asking questions about their owners by being kept ignorant and busy working constantly to just barely keep their heads above water.
This sort of comedic analysis resonated with the Left, once upon a time – when the Left at least pretended to be concerned about the plight of the working man.
As opposed to the endlessly offended feelings of the woking man.
If it’s okay to say man.
Comedians like Sam Kineson were famous for saying it – part of Sam’s iconic stand-up act. One of his most unwoke routines revolved around starvation in Africa and the Left’s efforts to ameliorate it by sending food. Sam would pace the stage and then scream: “It’s a desert! Nothing grows there!! Just sand! Move to where the food is!“
It was as hilarious as it is unspeakable . . . today.
Lenny Bruce – who was considered a liberal in his day – would be prosecuted by the Left today.
Bruce actually was prosecuted – for “obscenity” – and was defended by the Left. But that was 1964 and the Left defended free speech back then. Today, free speech, including speech that makes you laugh, is actionable, if the punchline involves gays or women or men who “identify” as women; anything the Left decides isn’t funny.
If the punchline is Donald Trump – or the meme his severed head, a la Kathy Griffin – then it’s hilarious.
Which isn’t very funny.
Which brings up Seinfeld, who is – very.
Or rather, was. Jerry no longer does stand-up because the crowds are too Woke. They can’t take a joke and – worse – can’t laugh at themselves anymore.
And Jerry is, like Lenny was, a liberal.
It echoes of the old Soviet Union, which America is on the cusp of resurrecting under the rheumy gaze of Brezhnev revisited – in the form of Uncle Joe, his unsteady hand slowly waving as he totters to Lenin’s mausoleum, smiling vacantly at a joke that’s on us.’ https://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2021/02/03/heres_why_the_soviet_union_never_produced_a_jerry_seinfeld_658905.html
