    Former US Congressman Ron Paul has joined a growing list of independent political journalists and commentators who’re being economically punished by YouTube despite producing videos that routinely receive hundreds of thousands of views.

    In a tweet published Saturday, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange tweeted a screenshot of Paul’s “Liberty Report” page showing that his videos had been labeled “not suitable” for all advertisers by YouTube’s content arbiters.

    Assange claims that Paul was being punished for speaking out about President Donald Trump’s decision to increase the number of US troops in Afghanistan, after Paul published a video on the subject earlier this week.

    The notion that YouTube would want to economically punish a former US Congressman for sharing his views on US foreign policy – a topic that he is unequivocally qualified to speak about – is absurd. Furthermore, the “review requested” marking on one of Paul’s videos reveals that they were initially flagged by users before YouTube’s moderators confirmed that the videos were unsuitable for a broad audience.

    Other political commentators who’ve been censored by YouTube include Paul Joseph Watson and Tim Black – both ostensibly for sharing political views that differ from the mainstream neo-liberal ideology favored by the Silicon Valley elite.

    Last week, Google – another Alphabet Inc. company – briefly banned Salil Mehta, an adjunct professor at Columbia and Georgetown who teaches probability and data science, from using its service, freezing his accounts without providing an explanation. He was later allowed to return to the service.

    Conservative journalist Lauren Southern spoke out about YouTube’s drive to stifle politically divergent journalists and commentators during an interview with the Daily Caller.

    “I think it would be insane to suggest there’s not an active effort to censor conservative and independent views,” said Southern.

    “Considering most of Silicon Valley participate in the censorship of alleged ‘hate speech,’ diversity hiring and inclusivity committees. Their entire model is based around a far left outline. There’s no merit hiring, there’s no support of free speech and there certainly is not an equal representation of political views at these companies.”

    Of course, Google isn’t the only Silicon Valley company that’s enamored with censorship. Facebook has promised to eradicate “fake news,” which, by its definition, includes political content that falls outside of the mainstream.

    Still, economically punishing a former US Congressman and medical doctor is a new low in Silicon Valley’s campaign to stamp out dissent.

      1. Google is more and more turning to the dark side, led by the (what I consider) the disgusting Herr Schmidt. DuckDuckGo is one alternative the the First, Let’s Only Do Evil company.

        Every time a company is successful these days, like a parasite, evil entitites glom onto it, then sucks the life out of it by the (un)virtue of the gay-uber-alles frauds, the fascists (merger of socialist state with co-opted big biz), the disgusting feminazis, and worse.

        • Yep…Duck Duck Go for your search engine. It’s time to “ban” google products. Hit ’em in the wallet. I’ve been setting up my computer to completely avoid g products including GMail, Chrome
          Browser etc due to the “data sharing” problems associated with all things google. Unfortunately, after the fact, I found the browser I selected, Opera, is written using Chromium. Seems to be pretty safe at this point. But will keep an eye on it.
          Youtube is owned by google. I have posted quite a few anti- communist, anti-BLM/Antifa posts on Youtube in response to some leftist blatherings recently. Got 0 response. Nothing. It’s abnormal not to get some kind of feedback from some knucklehead. It was like the comment wasn’t available to the public. Kinda makes me think the posts are being categorized and “ghosted” where only the person who made the comment can see it. If so it would seem to be a way to clandestinely censor opposing views. Something Google is starting to be known for.

        • BOYCOTT ALL OF THOSE 3ew PARASITE BUSINESSES YOU LISTED. STARVE THE PARASITE BEAST THAT IS TRYING TO ENSLAVE YOU IN EVERY SECTOR OF OUR SOCIETY, AS THEY HATE AMERICA AND OUR FREEDOMS.

          This is their plan to DESTROY AMERICA. COPY THIS BELOW SO YOU NEVER FORGET:

          Adversary Campaign Plan.

          Political Warfare has been described as “propaganda in battledress.” The effort directed at President Trump is executed along one overt, as well as two covert, lines of effort:

          • The overt line of effort is PUBLICITY. Publicity is the straightforward projection of a case that builds a picture in the audience’s mind designed to garner support. It is facts without context and information the adversary wants the audience to possess that creates an impression and sets conditions. It seeks to establish good will and receptiveness to additional inputs.

          • There are two covert lines of effort: PROPOGANDA and INFILTRATION/SUBVERSION.

          o Propaganda is the deliberate direction, even manipulation, of information to secure a definite outcome. It is an attempt to direct the thinking of the recipient, without his conscious collaboration, into predetermined channels that are established in the Publicity line of effort. It is the unwitting conditioning of the recipient by devious methods with an ulterior motive that seeks to move them incrementally over time into greater belief and acceptance of message transmitted in the Publicity line of effort.

          o Infiltration and subversion operate internal to the targeted organization in order to inform, target, coordinate, and amplify the effects of the publicity and propaganda. Both operate to gather intelligence, obstruct legitimate courses of action, provide inside information, and leak sensitive information that undermines the leadership and suppresses the morale of friendly elements.

          o Infiltration of political and social groups within a target state is done for the purpose of extending counter-state influence and control. The endgame is concealed and may involve illicit activities.

          o Subversion undermines or detaches the loyalties of significant political and social groups within the target state and transfers political and/or ideological loyalties to the counter-state. As the counter-state forms, a counter-elite of influential individual and key leaders within the target state will later facilitate the legitimacy and permanency of the new regime.

          *BOYCOTT/ Starve the Beast/ Expose them of their crimes, call them out always every day, destroy and eradicate them. They are the Enemies of America and our people, freedoms, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This is WAR!

      3. All the content makers I watch on Youtube are getting censored. Youtube will only kill itself. This creates opportunity for new sites like

        ht tps://www.full30.com/

        Other content creators will get the hint and quit. That will stop traffic to youtube.

        Youtube will die just like ebay died.

          Hurricane Harvey: “Unprecedented” Houston Flood, Water 14 Feet Above Previous Record

          27SundayAug 2017 Posted by Mish | August 27, 2017

          The effects of Hurricane Harvey are beyond anything ever seen.

          Water is 14 feet above previous record levels, traffic lights are submerged. Five have been reported dead so far. That toll will likely rise.

          Unfortunately, Harvey re-strengthened and Houston may see another five days of rain.

          “Houston is being inundated with “unprecedented” flooding after the ferocious Hurricane Harvey set in over the Texas Gulf Coast this weekend, dumping torrential rain on the city with no end in sight for days.

          The National Hurricane Center said at least 50 inches of rain has fallen in some areas, and one meteorologist estimated some 340 billion gallons of rainfall inundated the area.

          A bulletin said, “This is a flash flood emergency from the Bay City area to Wharton to Waller across the Houston Metro area to Stafford to Friendswood to League City and Santa Fe. Travel across the area is severely hampered if not impossible. Over 1,000 high water rescues have been performed and in some places emergency crews cannot reach the worst hit areas.”

          What’s ahead: More rain, flooding, tornadoes

          “We are still expecting 25 to 30 inches [of rain] across southeast Texas,” ABC News Meteorologist Daniel Manzo said Saturday. “This is in addition to what has already fallen this morning.””

          Catastrophic Floods in Houston, Five Reported Dead

          The New York Times reports Harvey Brings Catastrophic Floods to Houston; at Least Five Reported Dead
          ◾At least five deaths and more than a dozen injuries were reported by Sunday in the aftermath of Harvey, the hurricane that tore across the Gulf Coast of Texas over the weekend.
          ◾The powerful system, now a tropical storm, pounded the region with torrential rains that were expected to continue for days, causing catastrophic flooding, according to the National Hurricane Center.
          ◾The public hospital for Harris County, which includes Houston, began evacuating patients after flooding disrupted its power supply.
          ◾The National Weather Service forecast rainfall of 15 to 25 inches through Friday, with as much as 50 inches in a few areas.
          ◾Emergency responders completed more than 1,000 high-water rescues during the night, and asked the public to donate boats.

          Unprecedented

          • HCKS! you ok out there???

          • Remember the diaspora of Katrina people moving INLAND? Same thing is going to happen
            once again. So much for Houston becoming one of the fastest growing metro areas. THIS
            will change THAT forever. Hope they learn. Coastal areas get wiped out easy. Same as low
            elevation areas. Betcha they all move to DFW and San Antone and Austin.

            • Property prices in San Antonio and environs will definitely go up! To late now!

        • Not everyone who wants to bail on YouTube will know where to go. Most of the “other content makers” are just opportunists, looking to make a buck off of fear. Censorship, banning, the closure of comments sections everywhere, the “eradication of fake news” goes on unabated.

          • The next article “Death of Cash” is a paid propaganda piece. Think about this. Its all a fraud. Bitcoin whis is based on nothing, backed by nothing but propaganda, climbs to $4000. Mean while Gold which is the Worlds real currency been used for thousands of years as currency is less than $1300 per ounce. Folks we are living in one of the largest frauds in mandkind. They are selling you Nothing for $4000. And they are paper shorting the real tangible asset Gold and Silver as basicallt low and worthless. Its Fraud. Scam and stack up as much real Gold and Silver as you can. They cannot sustain this fraud much longer. They are tapped out of scams to prop up this phony illusion. Be prepared. Be smart and always stat well armed to defend you and your assets.

      4. Courts have clearly upheld that bakeries must not only provide products and services to people’s and groups they personally and morally disagree with, but they must also write out inscriptions and wording (essentially speech) that they find abhorrent to their religious and moral beliefs.

        The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming.

        • Won’t be much longer, before that is the very least of your worries…

      5. Courts? You mean the Commie 3ewish Judges. They are all on a conspiracy Mission to destroy America from within in every way possible. This is the 100th Anniversary of the Bolshevic Revolution in Russia.

        Explosive Documents Prove Far-Left Violent Attacks Coming to America
        08-27-2017 • Truthandarttv.com
        This coming October will be the 100 year anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. And the quickly mounting evidence coming from many directions now points to a planned Communist-style coup d’etat against president Trump and America in the name of “anti-fascism”. To rationalize their barbaric wildly un-American behavior these Communist terrorist continually accuse Trump of being “fascist” without any need to provide evidence of course.

        • The Islamist have told us they would destroy America from within using our own laws. That they would run for political offices and judicial offices in the effort to do that. This war for constitutionality has begun with the election of the Kenyan Satanist.

      6. DA FLOOD!! Blacks and Mexicans across North America are right now in buses and stolen cars headed to Houston to get them that big multi-billion dollar FEMA payout. Prizes range from $5,000 to $125,000, with no proof of ID or residency needed!! Get your money and them get back in line for 2nds or 3rds. Just like Katrina. And hey, if the rain gets bad enough, you’ll get a free brand new trailer to live in for up to five years, that way you can complain about how cheap the US taxpayer is, how you were hurt by US racism for having to live in a cheap flimsy brand new FEMA trailer along with tens of thousands of free dollars, and complain on CNNN about just bad the President Hitler is for only giving you free food, medical and a place to live.

        • Wow, Bert!!!! That’s a lot of prize money. The gubmint might have to raise the debt limit
          before September 29th. Otherwise, how could they pass out all of that loot to the poor
          folks? One has to wonder how big that FEMA budget really is. Yep, there will be lots of the
          free food people constipated from MRE’s and gritting their teeth inside the porta-potties
          that the gubmint provides. Don Lemon will be there to address all of their concerns. Tent
          cities galore. What a mess.

        • Houston needs those Mexicans right now. By this time next week the entire city of Houston will be refinished with new drywall.

          A single mexican can drywall an entire house in about one hour.

          • A married mexican can do it in 70 minutes.

            • Funny.. I have to say, I saw an entire crew of Mexicans frame an entire, nearly all 1st floor and the entire 2nd floor of a 2 story house including the plywood on the roof in 1 day. There may have been 30 of these Mexicans hammering away at one time. I was impressed.

              I have no problem with most Mexicans, most are just hard workers.. Sure there are the illegals and the BS gangs and hood rats which need to be exported, but most are just decent people. Now if they could all just learn English, that would be good.

      7. Political speech is the most revered and protected if one even casually looks at the historical intent of the First Amendment. It implies that a watch dog media shall exist to act as a political check and balance. In effect this is still functionally correct, a watch dog media exists. The modern media however checks the power of the masses shifting the balance to the Establishment who owns it thus facilitating the control of government. It fulfills its purpose in the wrong direction.

        • Boy, you got that right, Kev. The media has become the locus of evil.

          • After reading about, call it studying the goings on domestically and globally that the US has repeatedly put globalist interests before Constitutionally accepted US interests I have thought out a sketch of the global power structure.

            At the very top are fascists, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg being the oldest and most prominent. They are the main banking interests which is where the power resides. Through them they fund anyone that furthers their one world government, governed by them. Communists are not their enemy, they’re their managers of populations. The US is their “enforcer” with the symbiotic MIC relationship with government. The media is their disguised mouthpiece, higher education their pool of human resources. They been at this for over a hundred years. They’re only recently coming out of the shadows possibly due to more light (the internet), timing requiring speed over stealthy or they’re no longer concerned of exposure because the citizenry is effectively powerless to stop them; possibly elements of all three.

      8. Censorship seems the natural progression of an advancing military police state agenda to lock down government approved opinion as necessary to control free flow of information. I read about the Sinclair Media Group being mostly unknown while reaching 72% of the nation controlling over 70 media outlets editorial content while out to buy close to 40 more. The rules used to allow less than half that percentage. They have stations from the various large networks who don’t reveal where the mandated 10 minute editorial content comes from. Right wing content that I imagine Trump is behind in opposition to his fake news battle, it’s only fake if he can’t control it.

        • Yes, the (((tribe))) that controls the media just succeeded in removing Stormfront.org from the internet. Over ten years of research, fact-sharing, relationships and pro-white information has gone up like a puff of smoke.

        • ALIJAMO, I agree… also, just saw on the news that TRUMP– our last great hope!!– has just announced he is rolling back the ban on the militarization of the police!!

          Yep! Obummer said the people wouldn’t like it–the militarization of the police and he tried to stop it. But Trump? He said he doesn’t care how it looks!! He said militarization of the police stops crime and so he’s all for it!! (In other words, “to hell with our Constitution!!”) He is just another puppet for the elite– just like Obummer and Bushie boy! THEY ALL SUCK ONCE THEY GET IN OFFICE!!!

      9. Hey Durango Kidd- look out Bubba. The ChiComs have officially cancelled the invasion of
        Texas. Change of plans. They will now be coming up into AZ. They will be using the cartel
        tunnels and hunting for your #10 cans of 10 dollar bills. You ready for ’em?

      10. The tribe and the rest of their libturd minions can take that censorship and stuff it.

      11. I no longer watch TV. I don’t use net flicks anymore. I’m old enough to remember a good life that did not include Internet. Since I prefer real sex and hate porno and those making whores out of beautiful mostly white girls, who should be loved by one good white man who would respect her; I am not completely dependent on the web, and I am close to rejecting the technology. The Internet has helped to enlighten people in ways that terrify a psychotic lying control freak.

        They say liquids seek their own level. The bolshevic’s are exposing themselves. Even the dumbed down are noticing that something stinks in Denmark. The Bolsheviks want chaos. They would love to instigate a race war and work tirelessly toward that end. The modern day Bolshevics have the audacity, actually the stupidity, to censor a man like Ron Paul.

        These people want to murder whoever and whenever they choose. This is not China. Western men don’t bend to outrageous authority.

        Charlottesville was a lesson that if you get a permit and go by the rules, you will be crushed.

        Some are saying that there was no vehicular murder in Virginia. That it was an attempt to escape a violent mob. The video supports this. There is other speculation that it was a government job. Either way, what happened is and was an assault on free speech, the freedom to congregate and to express grievances.

        These things will not stop Americans. More Americans are becoming more determined than ever to fight the globalist network of depraved bullies.

      14. The USA Bolshevik/Zios would Never be able to accomplish what we have seen during the past 50 to 100 yrs within America….Without the vast assistance provided by a few Main major Shaboz Goy perps aka goy gentiles.

        #1 Polititions in Both main parties…Owned by Israel and AIPAC.

        #2 EVERY form of MSM-Hollywood-TV-Newspapers etc et al.

        And finally, which some claim as The Worst shaboz perps of all…Those Apostate Pastors who for 100+ yrs now have perverted the christians and churches they control, Via a totally zionistic falsified teachings to litterally worship state of Israel, and imposter jewry, and believe they can somehow “Speed” up Jesus’ Return and for them to get raptured Out prior to the real troubles!

        And todays usa contains at least 60-70-Million such apostate decieved folk hellbent to make it happen NOW!

        Hence their unquestioned full support for More mid east Wars, and unquestioned defense and support of international ethnic minority of Self Chozens.

        They are going to foment armageddon no matter What it takes!

        And same as left liberals, no amount of biblical factoids, Logic, common sence…Nor even the Very Words of Christ as written in the new testement books can ever convince the foolish deluded ones to consider to admit they are and have been so far totally wrong about it all.

        All they need is about four or five Out of context bible verse words, a huge Dose of pastors rabid zio influenced falsehoods, and Off to the Races they Go!

        Therefore any Honest Patriot American person, when the day arrives, Must also Hold as equaly accountable for this entire mess we call america, those who are members of named shaboz goy group/orgs…Equally as Guilty as the ziobolshevikjewry the shaboz goys answer to.

        Help Make America Great again, by, makeing America nation #-110 to boot out these kommies and never again!

        #110 and Never Again! (IE: prior there were 109 Host Nations in similar circumstances as usa is today, and every single one ended up giveing the tribe perps a big Bootout! then quickly restored normalcy, peace and prosperity again.)

      15. I enjoy the various videos on Youtube but they are some real bastards in their business practices. They love everything on the Left and hate the Right, that is painfully obvious folks and that mess is not right.

      16. Paul J. Watson and Tim Black censored? Hmm… I’ve never been to those websites! Must be good! I will have to check them out. (I HATE GOOGLE AND NEVER USE IT!!!)

      17. I don’t use Google either, I think. Maybe not since I have to get to Yahoo through Google. Yahoo may be just as bad for all I know, imagine it is. Conspiracy thinking is labeled theory, the catch all word to demean any truth. So increasingly truth is being forbidden. Youtube still shows videos outside mainstream thinking, such as flat Earth, and presently controlled weather terrorism responsible for building and directing hurricane harvey to the desired destination.

      18. The degree of hiding unwanted content will spread. I notice today that an email received from veteranstoday.com had political articles critical of government with a black background and blue letters making it unreadable. I typed it in and tried to go directly there and the same result. The establishment hates that site.
