I'm sharing this here in part because I wonder if other people have similarly disturbing experiences. My comment was just a snarky reply on a video related to the growing Iran-Israel conflict. Someone was talking about how Persian civilization declined after Islam was introduced in the 7th century. Like we all should know, Iran's lack of liberalism today is not just its own fault or because of religion, but because its democracy was overthrown by the United States (CIA) and Britain (MI6) in 1953 with an illegal coup d'état that re-established those countries' absolute power over the Iranian oil industry. My comment was a joke of "The 1953 CIA coup didn't do any help either." There was zero profanity, and nothing remotely against community guidelines.

Instant deletion. I submitted a new and reworded comment to try and dodge the filter, and it was deleted again by YouTube. Unlike reddit (and I'm not defending reddit) where you get a message in your inbox telling you that your comment was removed for community guidelines violations, YouTube has employed the tactic of the Chinese secret police, keeping you completely in the dark as they wipe historical facts off the face of the earth.

Just like Assange warned us about so many times, Big Tech is subtly scrubbing the historical record to aid and abet US Empire. The 1953 coup is a matter of scholarly consensus, and yet for YouTube it is treated as conspiracy material or disinformation and promptly deleted. The consequences of this are deadly. Like Orwell said, "those who control the past control the future". People will have no idea about what the CIA and MI6 really do and have done so they will be less likely to put democratic checks on them, allowing their power to grow. Censorship today is not about not being allowed to say the N word. Tech companies are rewriting history as we speak.

As for why YouTube is doing this, Julian wrote a book in 2014 called "When Google Met Wikileaks" which provides some answers. The short answer is is that the interests of Big Tech and US Empire are completely in sync. But the main question is: how on earth can we criticize the Chinese for censoring mentions of Tiananmen Square on the internet when Silicon Valley is already doing the same thing? Doomsday is already here.

Hey Reddit community, as we approach the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's killing on May 2, 2011, what are your thoughts on the impact and significance of this event? Share your reflections and insights.

It not a sexist or hateful statement to state that trans-individuals have not merged with another sex. All the known hormones and medical devices cannot change your birth sex.

The same reasoning and logic pertains to the illegible State of Israel.

No matter how many Palestinian women, children, and men are murdered by Zionist European and American Jews, Palestine will always be Palestine and the homeland of the Palestinians.

I cannot tell the full story here without being censored. But it is all laid out at legaljunkies dotcom in the "Law News" of the Forum section. The communications channel used back in 2010-2012 is no longer available since the three murders took place.

Just wondering, is there a current torrent / archive of everything on the site in case something happens to it?
