(00:24):
In the dark shadows, in thewhite cold. Fearlessly we search for knowledge
new and old. We drink thestrong spirits and read the ancient tones.
The order of the Abercast. Weare the brave and the board, the

(00:55):
court history, conspiracy and vile.Hello, good evening, I'm morning whatever.

(01:42):
This is the Appercast. I'm yourhost, John Towers. Um,
so we're kind of in this situationwhere where I guess I used to say
we were watching the end of Westerncivilization. You know, I did a
bunch of things trying to remind everybodyhow cool we are Western civilization was.

(02:05):
Some of them are highlights and stuff. Um, we kind of got off
track of that. But I haveto tell you, looking through the news
or watching what's happening going on around, I want to spend a little bit
more time with you guys talking aboutcurrent events because I don't I don't necessarily

(02:29):
think all that's going on is theend of Western civilization. I also think
we might be looking at World Warthree and it's it's something that was avoidable.
There's something there's something weird in us, in our government that's just marching

(02:53):
towards this like they're salivating, wantingto to do this. Um So,
I think we're gonna be doing somebonus episodes just talking about how fucking crazy
all this shit is. And thefirst one of these, um, the
first one of these, I feltlike we should just talk about America,

(03:16):
the dystopian America. I know ayoung lady who loves dystopian young adult books,
even though she's a grown adult.Anyhow, you know, there's a
whole movie genre based on these things. A few years ago, it was
all apocalyptica with you know, theWalking Dead and all of this. So

(03:38):
that's still wingering around out here.So I just kind of wanted to touch
base and just talk about American,the dystopian America of twenty twenty two,
the kind of I don't know,just get a baseline on what the fuck
is going on and why when it'slike all of the shit that I'm that

(04:04):
we're about to talk about, youknow, it seems like just five or
ten years ago, like this wouldbe science fiction. So I have my
vessel of the art here. Butthe ice is fast quickly melting for some
reason. Okay, so let's getinto the first story that I got here,

(04:30):
which is one that affects me.This is on a website called just
the News dot Com. Postal Serviceconducted surveillance on protesters with pro gun,
anti Biden agendas. Report investigation basedon a redacted documents obtained by the Cato
Institute think take US Postal Services reportedlymonitoring protesters across the country, focusing on

(04:58):
Americans with such interest as guns andBiden's election. Shouldn't everyone be interested in
the election? Postal inspectors tracked theactivities of gun rights activists gathering in Virginia
and some demonstrations in Louisville, Kentuckyafter the police shooting of Breonna Taylor,

(05:19):
the far right groups going to Washington, DC after Biden's election, according to
investigation by The Washington Times. TheTimes reports the investigation is based on redacted
documents obtained by a fellow at theCato Institute think tank that developed Postal Inspector,

(05:40):
think tank that detail Postal Inspectors spyingfrom September twenty two through to April
twenty twenty one. Among the operationswas a social media surveillance effort named the
Internet Covert Operations Program, apparent exampleof the Postal Services surveillance. Based upon

(06:03):
the documents, an Institute Fellow,obtained through the Freedom of Information Act request,
is a redacted bulletin reporting reportedly showingthe agencies Inspection Services having tracked quote
peaceful armed protests unquote at a SecondAmendment rally for Lobby Day in Richmond,

(06:25):
Virginia, January eighteenth, twenty twentyone. The gathering lasted approximately two hours,
with members identifying themselves as affiliates ofthe Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Boys,
and the Sons of Liberty. Thebulletin reportedly reads counter protests from Black
Lives Matter of Movement also attended withheavy law enforcement presence. The demonstrations stayed

(06:51):
peaceful in nature. So there yougo. The Postal Service is spying on
you via the Internet. What umSo, that's gonna lead me to the
next big story here, which ison the Washington Post dot com. Pentagon

(07:20):
opens a sweeping review of Clandestine's psychologicaloperations. This is something that we've talked
about on the show since the beginning. Is um these use of social media
and all this tech stuff to warpyour mind abroad, Ben Doctor mind Vendor.

(07:45):
Complaints about US military's influence operations usingFacebook and Twitter have raised concerns in
the White House and federal agencies.This is from September, just a couple
of days ago, nineteen twenty twentytwo, by Ellen Nakashima. The Pentagon
has ordered a sweeping audit of howit conducts clandestine information warfare after major social

(08:13):
media companies identified and took offline fakeaccounts suspective of being run by the US
military in violation of platform rules.Platform rules, What a juke. Colin
Kahal, the Undersecretary of Defense forPolicy, last week, instructed the military

(08:33):
commands that engage in psychological operations online to provide a full accounting of their
activities by next month, after theWhite House and some federal agencies expressed mounting
concerns over the Defense Department's attempted manipulationof audiences overseas. According to several Defense

(08:54):
and administration officials familiar with this matter, this is the whole thing is suspect.
How how do we know that they'rejust targeting people overseas? Like I
said, just look around and seeabout the people that are going nuts for
this war in Ukraine, in Russia. I mean, everybody is like nukes.

(09:16):
Fuck yeah, man, let's getsome like nukes. I heard that
Ukraine officially filed requests to be includedin NATO, which if they accept them,
there's nothing that's stopping There's nothing thatstops war with Russia. That's what

(09:41):
NATO is all about, is apact between It's a military like agreement between
these different companies countries where if they'rebeing attacked, they will provide a unified
front. So if they take Ukraineand a NATO, those all these fuckers
that are salivating about going to war, it's gonna it's gonna happen. The

(10:09):
takedowns in recent years by Twitter andFacebook of more than one hundred and fifty
bogus personas and media sites created inthe United States was disclosed last month by
an Internet research Graphica and the StanfordInternet Observatory. While the researchers did not

(10:30):
attribute the sham accounts to the USmilitary, two official familiar with the matter
said that the US Central Command amongthose whose activities are facing scrutiny. Like
other interviewed for this report, theyspoke on the condition of animinity to discuss
sensitive military operations. Researchers did notspecify when the takedowns occurred, but those

(10:52):
familiar with the matter said that theywere within the past two or three years.
Some were recent, they said,and a vote poosts from the summer
that advanced anti Russian narratives, citingthe Kremlin's imperialist war in Ukraine and warning
of other conflicts direct impact in CentralAsian countries specifically or significantly. They found

(11:18):
that the pretend personas employed tactics usedby countries such as Russia and China did
not gain much traction, and thatovert accounts actually attracted more followers. Headquartered
in Tampa as per view over militaryoperations across twenty one countries in the Middle

(11:39):
East, North Africa, and Centraland South Asia, spokesmen declined to comment.
Air Force Brigadier General Patrick Ryder,the Pentagon Press secretary, said in
a statement that the military's information operationssupport our national security priorities and must be

(12:00):
conducted in compliance with relevant laws andpolicies. We are committed to enforcing those
safeguards, he says. Person forFacebook and Twitter declined to comment. Well
here, let me comment for them. Get the fuck off of Facebook,
get the book off of Twitter.It just stopped going to them. Such

(12:26):
a hypocrite. I'm hooked on Instagram, but that's another story. According to
researchers reports, the account taken downincluded a made up Persian language media site
that shared contents were posted from USfunded the Voice of America, Far Sea
and Radio Free Europe. Another saidwas linked to a Twitter handle that in

(12:50):
the past had claimed to operate onbehalf of Sentcome. One fake account posted
inflammatory tweets claiming that the relatives ofa deceased Afghan refugee had reported bodies being
returned from Iran with missing organs.According to the report, the tweet linked
to a video that was a partof an article posted on a US military

(13:13):
affiliated website. Scentcom has not commentedon whether these accounts were created by its
personnel or contractors. If the organharvesting tweet is shown to be sentcoms,
one defense official said, it wouldabsolutely be a violation of doctrine and training
practices. It seems yeah, itseems like there's moral and ethical complications as

(13:41):
well. Independent of the report,the Washington Post has learned that in twenty
twenty, Facebook disabled fictitious personas createdby Scentcom to counter disinformation spread by China.
China China, suggesting the coronavirus wasresponsible for COVID nineteen. It was

(14:01):
created at a US Army lab inFort Dietrich, Maryland, According to officials
familiar with the matter, The pseudoprofiles active in Facebook groups that conversed in
Arabic, Farsi Urdu said. Theofficials said, we're used to amplify truthful
information from the US Centers of DiseaseControl and Prevention about the virus's origination in

(14:26):
China, China, China. TheUS government's use of the Earth's social media
accounts through authorized though authorized by lawand policy, has stirred controversy inside the
Biden administration, with the White Housepressing the Pentagon to clarify and justify its

(14:46):
policies. The White House agencies suchas the State Department, and even some
officials within the Defense Department, hadbeen concerned that the policies were too broad,
allowing leeway for tactics that even ifused to spread truthful information, and
risks eroding US credibility for US officialssaid. Our adversaries are absolutely operating in

(15:11):
the information domain, said a secondsenior Defense official. There are some who
think we should do anything clandestine thatwe shouldn't do anything clandestine in that space.
Seating entire domain to an adversary wouldbe unwise, but we need stronger
policy guard rails. I also wantto know what they're what they're pointing inwards.

(15:37):
Spokeswoman for the National Security Council,which is part of the White House,
declined to comment. Call disclosed hisreview at a virtual meeting convened by
the National Security Council on Tuesday,saying he wants to know what types of
operations have been carried out and whothey're targeting. I would like to know
as well, what tools are beingused, and why military commanders have chosen

(16:00):
those tactics and how effective they havebeen. Several officials said the message was
essentially, you have to justify tome why you're doing these types of fucking
things. The first defense officials said. Pentagon policy and doctrine discourage the military
from peddling falsehoods, but there areno specific rules mandating the use of truthful

(16:22):
information for psychological operations. For instance, the military sometimes employees fictitious and satire
for persuasion purposes, but generally themessages are supposed to stick to facts,
the officials said, and twenty officerofficers at Facebook and Twitter contacted the Pentagon

(16:45):
to raise concerns about phoning accounts theywere having to remove suspicious they were associated
with the military. That summer,David Agronovich, Facebook's director for Global Threat
Distribution, spoke to Christopher Miller,then Assistant director for Special Operations SLASH Low
Intensity Conflict, which oversees influence operationspolicy, warning him that if Facebook could

(17:12):
sniff them out, so could USadversaries. Several people familiar with the conversation
said his point one person said,was guys, you got caught. That's
a problem. Unquote. Before Millercould take action, he was tapped to
head a different agency, the Nationalcounter Terrorism Center. Then the November election

(17:33):
happened in time ran out for theTrump administration to address the matter, although
Miller did spend the last few weeksof Trump's presidency serving as Acting Defense Secretary.
With the rise of Russia and Chinaas strategic competitors, strategic competitors like
that's one way to put it,I guess military commanders have wanted to fight

(17:56):
back, including online and Congress supportsthat frustrated with perceived legal obstacles to the
defense Department's ability to conduct clandestine activitiesin cyberspace. Congress in late twenty nineteen
passed a law affirming that the militarycould conduct operations in the information environment to

(18:18):
defend the United States and to pushback against foreign disinformation aimed at undermining its
interests. The measure, known asSection sixteen thirty one, allows the military
to military to carry out clandestine psychologicaloperations without crossing what the CIA had claimed
as its covert authority, alleviating someof the friction that had hindered such operations

(18:45):
previously. Combatant commanders got really excited, recalled the first defense official. They
were very eager to utilize these newauthorities. I'm sure they were. That
the defense contractors were equally eager toland lucrative classified contracts to enable clandestine influence
operations. At the same time,the officials said military leaders were not trained

(19:11):
to oversee technically complex operations conducted bycontractors or coordinate such activities with other stakeholders
elsewhere in the US government. Lastyear, with the new administration in place,
Facebook's Agronovich tried again. This time, he took his complaint to President
Biden's deputy National Security Advisor, forCyber and Newburgh. Agronovitch, who had

(19:37):
worked at the end sc under Trump, told new Burger that Facebook was taking
down fa fake accounts because it violatedthe company's terms of service. According to
people familiar with the exchange, theaccounts were easily detected by Facebook, which,
since Russia's campaign to interfere in thetwenty sixteen presidential election, has enhanced

(20:03):
its ability to identify mock personas andsites. In some cases, the company
had removed profiles which appeared to beassociated with the military that promoted information deemed
by fact checkers false to be falseset, a person familiar with the matter.
Agronovitch also spoke to officials at thePentagon. His message was, quote,

(20:26):
we know what DoD is doing.It violates our policies. We will
enforce our policies unquote, and soquote DoD should not get off unquote set
an official briefed on the matter.So they're so eager to do stick to
their policies. Like again, ethicalmoral problems all through Facebook and Twitter.

(20:53):
I mean not much to say,like they don't. I'm not going to
get into it. If you wantto know what I had, what I
think about all this stuff. Justgo back on the feature topic link at
abercast dot com and find medium,manipulation, culture creation. All those topics
in there talk a lot about howfucked up it is, how it's clearly

(21:21):
freedom of speech and censorship issue sincethese companies have gotten money from the federal
government anyhow. In response to theWhite House concerns, call ordered a review
of Military Information Support Operations or missode Pentagon's moniker for psychological operations. A

(21:41):
draft concluded that policies, training,and oversight all needed tightening, and then
the coordination with other agencies such asthe Department, the State Department, the
CIA needed strengthening. According to officials, the review also found that while they
were cases in which fictitious information andwas pushed by the military, there were

(22:02):
results of inadequate oversight huh um,that's weird. Inadequate oversight of contractors and
personal training, not systematic problems.Pentagon leadership did little with the review,
two officials said, before Graphica andStanford published their report on August twenty fourth,

(22:25):
which elicited a flurry of news coverageand questions for the military. The
State Department at CIA have been perturbedby the military's use of clandestine topics tactics
I should say. Offers at Statehave admonished the Defense Department. Hey,
don't amplify our policies using fake bullshit, they said, because we don't want

(22:48):
to be seen as creating false grassrootsefforts, they say. One diplomat put
it this way. Generally speaking,we shouldn't be employing the same kind of
tactics that are at a series areusing because the bottom line is we have
the moral high ground. I don'tbelieve that's true anymore. We are a
society that is built on a certainset of values. I don't think that's

(23:11):
true anymore. We promote those valuesaround the world. I don't think that's
true anymore. And when we usetactics like those, it just undermines our
argument about who we are. Psychologicaloperations to promote us narratives overseas are nothing
new in the military, but thepopularity of Western social media across the globe

(23:33):
has led to an expansion of tactics, including the use of artificial personas and
images. Sometimes it's called quote deepfakes unquote. The logic is that the
views expressed by what appears to be, say an Afghan woman or an Iranian
student might be more persuasive if theywere openly pushed by the US government.

(23:56):
The majority of the military. That'sfunny because there is like a culture clash
sort of. Um, like onI guess, like on Twitter and Facebook,
I guess you're just interacting with thepeople that you're networked with, right.
But I used to spend time onperiscope for one reason or another,

(24:19):
and um, it's it was alwayshilarious because like, theoretically there could be
no nudity on periscope. However theywould, uh, you know, you'll
be watching like a hot chick dothe dishes or something whatever whatever, and
like there'd be a hundred uh Indianguys, not native American, like from

(24:41):
the subcontinent. Uh, and they'dall be like, show us your bobs,
show us your bobs. Okay,calm down, um the your bobs.
The majority of military's influence operations areovert, promoting US policies in the
Middle East, Asia and elsewhere underits own name, officials said. But

(25:04):
there are a valid reason to useclandestine tactics, such as trying to infiltrate
closed terrorist chat groups, they said, or the having newman at the Post
Office spy on your Facebook account.What key issues for senior policymakers now is
determining whether the military's execution of clandestineinfluence operations is delivering results. Is the

(25:29):
juice worth the squeeze, Does ourapproach really have the potential for the return
on investment we hoped for, oris it just causing more challenges? One
person familiar with the debate said,the report by Graphica and Stanford suggests that
the clandestine activity did not have muchof an impact anyways. It noted that

(25:49):
the vast majority of posts and tweetsreviewed received no more than a handful of
likes or retweets, and only nineteenpercent of the concocted accounts head more than
a thousand followers. Telling Lee,the report said the two most followed assets
in the data provided by Twitter wereovert accounts that publicly declared a connection to

(26:11):
the US military. Clandestine influence operationshave a role in support of military operations,
but should be a narrow one withan intrusive oversight by military and civilian
leadership. Michael Lumpkin, a formersenior Pentagon official handling information operations policy and

(26:33):
former head of the State Department's GlobalEngagement Center. Otherwise we risk making more
enemies than friends. There you go. It's my point of view that just
personally from an opset point of view. From my opset point of view,

(26:59):
it's like, you gotta get outof this Twitter and Facebook. You just
got it. You gotta get awayfrom it. Um. I think it's
I think it's fucking poison. Sothe next UM story we're gonna be talking
about. Remember this is America,this dystopian America. From the New York
Post um Facebook silencing activity related toFBI whistleblower Steve Friend. So here we

(27:30):
have, UM. The DOJ iscompletely corrupt. It's it's completely politicized,
is completely corrupt. When I wasa kid, you know, UM,
some part of me wanted to belike an FBI agent at some point in
time. And you know, youget all this bullshit from it, like

(27:55):
they're uncorruptible and you know they're they'renot allowed to their feelings, you know,
don't get in the get in theway of their ethic role and their
moral and um. And then andthen the more you learn about the FBI,
you're like, oh, it's alwaysbeen fucked up. They've always been

(28:15):
crazy, fucked up, fucking withuh Martin Luther King Junior, fucking with
this guy, fucking with that guy, you know, um uh the ship
that they pulled with the Elohan Cityand the Oklahoma City bomber. Like they've
always been fucking kind of crazy andcorrupt. So we have a whistleblower who

(28:40):
steps up and he was like,Yo, let's talk about all this bullshit.
We'll we'll talk about it. We'llget into the article here in a
second. And Facebook's like, no, you can't. You can't say that
on Facebook. You can't tell thetruth about the FBI on Facebook. So
Steve Friend was suspended or making awhistleblower complaints about the Department of Justice.

(29:07):
This is New York Post. Ibelieve this is Miranda Divine. She wrote
this. She wrote a great bookabout Hunter Biden's laptop. It's called The
Laptop from Hell. If you haven'tread it or listened it to it,
I highly recommend it. It tiesinto a lot of this stuff. More
evidence of how vindictive, obsessive,and downright sinister Facebook is. It now

(29:29):
appears to be monitoring private messages andsuppressing materials related to the whistleblower. Complaint
of heroic FBI special agent Steve Friendafter Steve After Friends bombshell revelation last week
in a whistleblower complaint to the Departmentof Justice Inspector General. His cause received
an avalanche of public and private support, including from former FBI agents and conservative

(29:55):
groups, as reported in this column. Friends complaint alleges that the FBI has
been manipulating case files management in orderto falsely inflate the threat of domestic terrorism,
and has been using unconstitutional and excessiveforce in efforts to persecute political opponents

(30:17):
of the Biden administration. Friend,a SWAT team member in Florida, was
suspended by the FBI last week afterrefusing to participate in what he regarded as
an unnecessarily heavy handed raid over aJanuary sixth misdemeanor. On Sunday, Friend's
wife Facebook account was suspended after sheresponded to an offer of support from a

(30:41):
local chapter of Moms for Liberty,a conservative group that advocates for parental rights.
What can Moms for Liberty Liberty dofor Steve Friend right now? Moms
for Liberty had texted to a mutualfriend, we want to offer community support.
A fundraising although we feel like itwould likely be down, of course
it would be Can you reach outto him and let him know that Moms

(31:03):
for Liberty is thinking of him andif we can provide any assistance, we
are here. Missus Friends response toMoms for Liberty using the private message on
her personal Facebook account. In themessage, she identifies herself as Steve Friend's
wife, thank them for their supportsthat her husband was in the process of
obtaining permission from the FBI to speakpublicly, and ask them to encourage their

(31:29):
members to share his whistleblower story ontheir personal social media accounts. After about
thirty minutes, missus Friend received anotification from Facebook that her account had been
suspended because account or activity on itdoesn't follow community guidelines. The Moms for
Liberty and missus Friends Facebook message disappeared, and its place was a notification saying

(31:55):
message unavailable. Why is Facebook monitoringprivate messages and attempting to suppress materials related
to mister friends protected whistleblower complaint?Were they asked to do so by the
FBI? We were shout to Facebooklate Sunday to find out. We will

(32:15):
let you know their response so weknow that the FBI tells Facebook what to
do. Zuckerberg was on Joe Roganand they were talking about the Hunter Biden
laptop, and you know, ina nutshell, I don't want to speak
for mister Zuckerberg or who Data theAndroid or whoever, but he basically was
like, Hey, they came tous and said this is bullshit. It's

(32:38):
kind of like, uh, you'regonna go ahead and suppress this, right,
it would be in your best interestData the Android if that is your

(32:59):
real name, Okay. The WashingtonExaminer, this guy by the name of
Paul Bedard, wrote September twenty eight, biased much media fact checkers find no

(33:25):
Biden lies. Oh no, hedoesn't lie. He just doesn't know what
room he's in and where he's at, or who he is, or how
do you get off the stage.He talks to ghosts and he reminisces about
a relationship that he had with agirl when she was twelve and he was

(33:49):
the thirty but don't ask any questionsabout it. On a day when President
Joe Biden's mental faculties are being questionedagain, a new report suggests that the
media is ring for the seventy nineyear old president in a way it never
did for former President Donald Trump.I'll just come out and say it,
or any other fucking president in astunt. In a studying media fact checking

(34:12):
under Biden and Trump, the ConservativeMedia Research Center said that while the truth
police have found zero examples of Bidenlying or being one hundred percent wrong,
despite his frequent verbal flubs and fabricatedlife stories, uh, he's a known
plagiarist. I don't know what elseto tell don't know what else to tell

(34:34):
you. Uh, if you're interestedin all this Biden stuff, you can
go to the feature topic link.He's got his own little section all about
about Joe Biden, extortion and oneseven all all kinds of good Biden stuff.
Well, what's more, said MRCNewsBusters editor him Graham, is the

(35:00):
liberal media's fact checkers have targeted thepresident's critics by nearly six to one in
their truth probes. In his reviewthe Pytner Institute PolitiFact, he wrote,
over his first twenty months in office, Biden had fifty eight fact checks,
while biden critics were checked three hundredand thirty eight times. Overall, there

(35:22):
were five point eight fact checks ofBiden's critics for every one of the president.
Surprisingly, he wrote, Biden washit with no pants on Fire ratings
despite his often made odd and wrongcomments and his mental confusion. On Wednesday,
for example, he hosted an eventand he called out for a lawmaker

(35:42):
to be recognized, and that lawmaker, the late Representative Jackie were were Walarski,
died in a car wreck in earlierAugust, and the White House issued
a statement of sympathy. I mean, just as the White House offered a
statement of sympathy that you shouldn't reallyknow or you shouldn't really think that Biden

(36:07):
is the one sitting there writing astatement of sympathy. But um, but
you would think that whoever was pluggingthis, whoever wrote the speech, or
whoever was fact, whoever wrote thespeech, whoever edited the speech, whoever

(36:28):
spell checked the speech, whoever loadedthe speech into the fucking teleprompter, someone
should have been like yo, inthis fucking person dead by contract. Trump
was dogged with the award. Therewere zero pants on Fire rulings in President
Biden's first twenty months. By contrast, Donald Trump has ten in that time

(36:49):
span. Biden has only six inhis entire career. Since PolitiFact began in
twenty two thousand and seven, Bidencould say the evacuation of Afghanist Dan was
an extraordinary success, and we stillhave zero percent inflation and there are no
factual objections. On April twenty second, he claimed that he was a full

(37:12):
professor for four years at the Universityof Pennsylvania, which is just it's just
wrong. He lies about his educationall the time. I don't want to
get revved up about it, buthe's just he's just a liar. Report
reporter. This is off a postfrom a twit Twit twit a tweet from

(37:36):
Greg Price, Blue Checkmark reporter.The confusing part is why, if she
and that family is on top ofmind, does the president think that she's
living and in the room? KgP? Who's the press secretary? I
don't find that confusing, reporter.I have John Lennard on the top of

(37:57):
my mind just about every day,but I'm not looking around for him.
Okay, one more, We're gonnado one more. This is from bright
bart. Google claim censoring Italy electionwinner Maloney's speech was a quote mistake.
Un Google owned YouTube restored a viralvideo of a speech from the winner of

(38:23):
an Italian election Georgiana Maloney, claimingthat it was mistakenly It was just mistakenly
removed from the platform. Just getnothing to see here. It was just
mistakenly removed, but we'll put itback. The speech went viral after Maloney's
win, but it had been postedto the platform without a problem since twenty

(38:43):
nineteen. In the speech she wentviral across multiple platforms this week, Maloney
gave a fiery defense of family,nation, religion, and basic truths about
gender, condemning international that does notsound very radical to me. Condemning international

(39:04):
elites from attempting to reproduce reduce peopleto quote numbers unquote without any identity.
The viral the video has been restoredto YouTube in its original link. Bright
Bart News reported on YouTube censoring thatthe center right politician and likely next Italian

(39:24):
Prime minister. Yesterday the almost afull day after the video was taken down.
Now it emits it made a mistakeand has restored the video upon careful
review. We determined that this videois not violative of our community guidelines,

(39:50):
and we have reinstated it, saida YouTube spokeswoman. We enforce our policy
sees regardless of the speaker's political views, and when it is brought to our
attention to the video had been mistakenlyremoved, we reviewed the content to take
the appropriate action, including restoring therelevant video or channels, as we have

(40:13):
done to this video. YouTube didnot comment on why it took so long
to restore the video, which consistedof mainstream traditionalist conservative arguments and no apparent
violations of the Platforms Community guidelines.This was written by someone named Alum Bakahari.

(40:36):
All Right, well, so that'sgonna be it for the evening,
for the day or whatever in themorning. You know what the fuck to
deal is. But like I said, you know, you look around if
you're paying attention. I guess evenif you're not paying attention, it's just
SMAXI right in the face. Likethere's so much shit going on the surveillance
state that we've kind of been talkingabout the corruption of the Department of Justice

(40:58):
and the Department of Defense. Um, all kinds like all kinds of crazy
shit. Our economies collapsing. Uh, check out the um the creature from
Jekyll Island episodes about the about thefed Um war is looming. Uh,
we're sending all this money and equipmentto the Ukraine. Putin's talking about nuclear

(41:27):
weapon like uh um, no oneknows what fucking gender they are anymore.
Like the world is it's coming toan end. That's gonna be the new
tagline as let's just poor drink andjust watch the fucking world go to shit.
So um, I don't have anysponsorships or whatever, but now it's

(41:52):
