YouTube CENSORING RFK's Supporters!

You knew this was coming. Within days of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s declaration of his 2024 presidential candidacy, YouTube brought the ban hammer down upon the heads of independent media outlets, journalists, and content creators who support #RFKJr's campaign.

I got smacked down first. On April 25th, YouTube removed all episodes of a new weekly podcast posted to my Youtube channel for Kennedy's supporters and hit my channel with a strike, citing "medical misinformation." I am not allowed to post, upload, or go live on YouTube during the strike period. (The podcast, "RFK: All The Way" is now available exclusively on Rumble!)

The very next day, YouTube assessed strikes against the channels of The Kim Iversen Show and Dark Journalist for previous interviews they had done with Mr. Kennedy, and removed those interviews from the platform.

Then came a series of strikes against the channels of the Indie News Network and Comrade Misty's TNT Radio show for an interview about RFK Jr. she conducted with Jimmy Dore. Those episodes were also removed.

Also, one of the news outlets I work for, Maverick News, was completely demonetized by YouTube and our main channel was hit by a strike Saturday, forbidding us from broadcasting on the platform entirely.

What do all of these content creators have in common? We all openly support Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

That is our crime, and we cheerfully plead guilty.

AOC said this week that "deplatforming works." We argue that it doesn't -- and here's why: when creators stand together in solidarity against censorship, it becomes impossible to censor our voices. When YouTube turns off one creator's microphone, another creator opens their mic to those who have been censored.

When YouTube shut down my channel this week, the Welsh Republic podcast very kindly offered me the opportunity to speak on his YouTube channel and speak out about what's happening to content creators who break away from approved groupthink.

When it comes to #censorship, an attack on one is an attack on all.

Please listen and share this very important conversation.
