(00:11):
Have to believe we are magic. Nothing can stand and then I
will have to believe we are magic.
Don't let your aim in the street.

(00:58):
Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brett Keane from GOD
TV Radio. I can't say today is a blessed
day. Today is very sad, terrible day
actually. A YouTube that I've been
subscribed to for the longest time named Michaela Raines has
taken taken her own life. New famous YouTube and Fox

(01:21):
rescuer sadly takes her own lifedue to online bullying.
According to her husband, 29 year old Michaela Raines took
her life after suffering from mental health issues and online
bullying. She couldn't bear what she was
feeling any longer and she endedher life, her husband Ethan

(01:42):
Raines said. It breaks my heart that someone
who is selfless and devoted her life to animals could have so
much negativity pointed at her. To those of you that pushed her
to this, everyone of you that had been responsible for making
her feel this way, I wish you had to feel what she felt.

(02:03):
Raines had more than 2.4 millionsubscribers on YouTube and
3,000,000 followers on TikTok. She started, say Fox Rescue, an
animal rescue non profit, in 2017 at the age of 20.
She leaves behind her husband and young daughter.

(02:28):
You know, I've said many times, ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't
matter how many subscribers or how many views you get on
YouTube. The Internet is a, it's a
horrific landscape. It's a, a place where you got to
be ready even before you start making videos.
You have to be have a stable foundation.

(02:49):
You have to be confident that what you're doing, you have to
have a niche, a message before you even come along.
And you have to fully expect that when you come to YouTube,
which is ran by godless liberals, that there's going to
be problems. YouTube has a reputation for
over 20 years of not protecting its users, not protecting the

(03:13):
people that use a site. You can report all day.
You can called the police and everything, but unfortunately,
even in 2025, the cops don't take the Internet seriously.
They just figure, well, you've got mental health issues, you're
sad, you're depressed, you feel like people are bullying you.

(03:34):
Well, just turn off your computer.
Just don't make YouTube videos. Don't do this.
Don't do that. And a lot of people think it's
really easy. A lot of people think it's easy
for someone with mental health issues to just walk away from
it. But there's some amount of
beauty as well. There's something about sharing

(03:57):
your life with other people and strangers.
It brings you kind of a gratification when you're taking
care of animals and you're doingsomething that you really enjoy
and you're showing these love and adoration for pets, animals
and such. You want to share it with the

(04:18):
world. There's a lot of people out
there who they want to show off their life.
They want to show the things that they feel that God has
given them. Unfortunately, there are people
out there where they are super depressed, they're broken inside
and they figure and when they make videos they say to

(04:39):
themselves, well, I haven't doneanything wrong.
I've never heard a family. I love people, I care about
people, and there's really absolutely no logical, rational
reason why anyone should attack me.
That's usually the mentality of everybody.
When you make this video, you think to yourself, there's no

(05:00):
reason that anybody will give mecrap.
There's no reason why people would hate me or want me dead or
anything like that. I mean, I'm just playing with
raccoons. I'm just playing with little
foxes and petting horses and, you know, feeding cows and all
that. What's the problem?
The problem is, is that no matter who you are, no matter

(05:23):
what your niche is, no matter what it is that you're talking
about, it doesn't matter if you're the sweetest, most loving
Christian on the planet. It doesn't matter if you're the
most humane humanist atheist that ever existed.
It doesn't matter if you're, youknow, the most beautiful woman
or the most famous celebrity. You could be Tom Cruise and you

(05:47):
are not going to get through 5 minutes without somebody shit
talk in your face. Shit talk in the way you look,
if your hair is out of place oneday, if you act kind of weird or
you blink your eye in a strange way on a interview, people are
going to find something to bitchabout.
That's the Internet. You can't go anywhere in social

(06:10):
media, can't go on social media,can't go on TikTok or any of
this shit without somebody blasting you.
And why? Because just as there are very,
very kind and beautiful, wonderful mentally ill people
who have decided to make the videos, there's also violent,

(06:32):
aggressive mentally ill people, sociopaths, psychopaths, child
molesters, child rapist Ted Bundy's, Charles Manson's,
Jeffrey Dahmer's, people who areabsolutely out of their mind.
You just so happen to stumble upon your channel.
What I do, since I've been around YouTube for the longest

(06:54):
time, when someone says something ignorant to me, I just
say, well, that's just another loser right there.
That's that's another loser that's not happy with their
life. They could have watched any one
of millions of videos, but they chose to come here and shit talk
to me. I didn't push my material on
anyone. I didn't push my content, people

(07:17):
only watch my shit because they made a free will choice and
decision to do so. So if you're someone out there
who's depressed and it's difficult for you and you don't
like the way some people are commenting towards you, here is
some advice for you. If you absolutely must continue

(07:39):
to make videos but it makes you sick some of the shit that
people say, then only allow people that you trust be able to
comment if you don't like peopleusing bots to downrate your ass
and turn off your ratings. Yeah, it's true.
People actually buy bots and useprograms to fuck with the system

(08:02):
in order to screw people on the algorithm.
People use bots in order to overly and overwhelmingly with
an abundance. Report the shit out of you to
knock your videos down and there's a good chance that
YouTube won't fix your shit. I'm a perfect living example of
it, but if you really can't stand it, don't go looking at

(08:26):
what people say. Lot of people say shit to me and
make videos and I just decide not to go look at it.
I decided a long time ago I'm not going to go look at it.
However, there are losers out there for some reason feel the
need to e-mail me or call me on the phone and then ask me what

(08:46):
do you think about this person that you don't know?
Who made a video about you? What?
What did you do about it? I told them go fuck yourself.
I told the messenger go fuck themselves because I've
repeatedly said I don't want to hear about it.
I don't want to hear what the haters think.

(09:07):
I'm not here for haters. I'm not here for people who
dislike me. I'm here for people who want to
be entertained or educated. So don't fucking tell me that
shit because I take it as someone's trying to start a shit
or they haven't watched my videos or cared enough to listen
to my input. I myself, I have health issues,

(09:29):
physical as well as mental. I know what my limitations are,
I know what I can take. I know how far someone can push.
I know what my fucking buttons are that will cause me to go
local up in this bitch. So I lay down the line.
I say this is what I'm going to put up with.
This is what I'm not. This is how far someone can go

(09:52):
before I fucking make my move. It's that simple.
You have to, if you come to YouTube or any of these social
media sites and you want to share yourself on video and you
want to share that what you loveand things that make you
vulnerable in life and things that make your heart pitter
patter, you better be prepared for the most evil fucking

(10:14):
demonic behavior that you've ever seen in your life.
Like I said, it don't matter what you look like, it don't
matter what you sound like, it don't matter if you've got a
radio voice, it doesn't matter if you look as beautiful as
God's favorite fucking primate or Angel.
They're always going to find something.
Don't kill yourself. Don't do this.

(10:37):
She had a a child and she had a husband who obviously loved her.
It's so sad. I'm not going to play his video.
You guys can go over to the YouTube channel and listen for
yourself. You can see what he has to say.

(10:59):
He obviously loved her very much.
He spends about 3 minutes at thevery beginning of the video
trying to let people know warning, trigger warning and all
this. You know the the woke shit.
Why say all that? Just say, look, my wife is dead.
My wife who loved doing her contents, she's gone.

(11:21):
Why spend 5 minutes warning people that they might have a
sad? Just tell them what it is.
Tell them what happened. Be real with people.
You understand right ladies and gentlemen, why people bully

(11:41):
other people? It's because they feel some kind
of garbage about themselves. People who focus on other
people's flaws and their sins and their weaknesses and
vulnerabilities. These are people who are what
some would call psychic vampires, some would call just
monsters. People who have antisocial

(12:04):
disorders, people who are schizophrenic.
People are sociopathic where they don't feel like we do.
They don't have emotions, they don't understand that the mean
words that are coming out of their mouths are absolutely
terrible, and the ones that do are sadist and masochist.

(12:25):
People who enjoy inflicting fucking pain on others.
And some of these people actually enjoy inflicting pain
on themselves. Don't depend on the thoughts or
the wants of others. When trying to do your own thing
on YouTube, do YouTube because you enjoy what you have to say.

(12:50):
Make videos that you would want to watch and listen to.
Don't rely on what the people are.
And don't get it twisted, no matter how many numbers you have
under that video, it's not goingto bring you happiness.
You know an actor by the name ofBen Affleck, He said in a recent
interview. He said it's cool to be rich,

(13:13):
but it ain't cool to be famous. You think at first that being
famous would be great, but you got a bunch of people who want
to grab onto you, who don't respect your space.
You got people who want to show up at your home all fucking
minutes of the night. You have people all over you and
you have people screaming and whistling and making all kinds

(13:37):
of noises and grabbing you as you try to walk around in
public. It's not cool, it's not fun, he
said. Look, if you want to be an actor
or you want to be a musician or you want to be somebody famous,
concentrate on the money that's involved in the work.
But don't ever desire this, the fame part of it, because same as

(14:01):
bullshit, and most celebrities can tell you, anybody that's
ever been big, eventually they're going to fall.
Everybody falls, no matter how big they are, no matter how
great, because something new comes along, something sparkly,
something more beautiful, something bigger, something bad
or always comes along. And then people, they just kind

(14:23):
of forget about you and they leave you.
In the past, if you were really incredible, then you might get
called a legend, like something almost like that of a myth that
used to exist. Somebody mentions you, they
might go, oh, yeah, I remember them.
I remember them. Legendary.
Yes. Wow.

(14:49):
I feel so sorry for this young woman.
How's your child going to deal with that?
I can tell you, being at the funeral of loved ones who have
committed suicide, it's devastating.
It's one thing when people die naturally or people die from a

(15:11):
disease or whatever, but when someone is actually killed by
someone else or someone kills themself, it leaves all kinds of
questions like did they suffer? Did they hurt?
What, what, what kind of what was going through their mind?
What was going on in their heartwhen it happened?
Was there something I could havesaid?

(15:32):
Was there something I could havedone?
All kinds of all kinds of things.
Somebody gets in a car accident,there's nothing you can really
do about it. Somebody dies of old age,
there's nothing you can do but comfort them.
Try to make it as relaxing as possible, if that's even
possible when it comes to death.Well, ladies and gentlemen,

(15:56):
that's all I got to say. If you're feeling miserable and
you're feeling depressed and shit, then you should probably
just turn the fucking whole thing off and go talk to someone
you trust, someone you care about.
Don't, don't rely on on these people.
In my first couple years of doing YouTube, I used to

(16:16):
consider my fans and my subscribers, my family, the
family that I never had. I used to consider them my go to
people. Whenever my day was bad, there
was like, wow, you know, no matter what's going on in my
life, I can go to social media and get something nice out of it

(16:38):
and cheer me up. Now it's just a fucking burden.
It feels almost like a routine job dealing with smucks and
losers all fucking day that are filled with hatred.
And the worst people of all are the ones who pretend as though

(16:58):
they love you and they care about you, but they're quick to
go find that next sparkly thing and drop you like a sack of
shit. The ones that tell you they love
you but then prepared at any time to stab you in the back.
So again, don't depend on love from strangers, don't even

(17:22):
imagine it's even possible. Always think worst case scenario
That way if something goes a little bit better than what you
imagined, you don't feel fuckingdisappointed.
You feel like, oh that's good, that's all.
Gosh. Well my condolences to the
family. God bless.

(17:51):
Look at me now, something seems off.
Can't quite place it. What have I lost?
When the mirror lies, do you recognize the mirror lies?
