YouTube Caught in the Act...AGAIN!!!
YouTube Caught in the Act...AGAIN!!! YouTube caught red-handed censoring videos. YouTube uses a wide array of sneaky techniques to stop certain videos from reaching the front pages and gaining more exposure. In this instance (which is just one of many), YouTube blocks the View Counter so that the video doesn't appear in the most-viewed lists. I have personally experienced this myself with many of my videos. This is how it works: On all videos, the "RATINGS" and "FAVORITES" counters are updated in near real-time. So if you rate a video, then check back a few minutes later, you'll see that your rating was indeed added to the total. It's the same for the Favorites counter and the "CHANNEL VIEWS" counter. But when it comes to the video view counter that is displayed below each video, this counter only gets updated between 1 and 4 times daily. Why doesn't the video view counter get updated in real-time like the rest of the counters? There's only ONE reason. YouTube does this because it gives them the opportunity to fiddle the viewing figures on any videos that it doesn't want to see in the most-viewed lists. When you upload a video and examine the view counter, you'll see that the number of views does indeed update in real-time, but as soon as that number reaches about 200 or so, the counter freezes and it will not update again for 12 or even 24 hours. So, if you upload a video that's really popular (but YouTube doesn't like it), and it gets 100,000 views in the first 24 hours, YouTube will simply freeze the counter and not update it for a day. And when they do eventually update the counter, you'll find that it only goes up by a few hundred, or maybe a thousand if you're lucky -- even though your video has received many thousands of ratings and comments. This sneaky method of censorship is so crude and it does YouTube's reputation no good whatsoever. If they want to resort to such pathetic and obvious tactics to censor free-speech then why don't they openly admit to it in their terms of use? What does this say about the people who run YouTube? Think about it. They don't even allow you to email them anymore, and even when you could email them, you'd be lucky to get back an automated pre-written reply. How come nobody at YouTube has the guts to put themselves on camera and talk to their users? What kind of dark shaddowy people are they to hide behind the façade of a web server while imposing their fascist censorship on us? YouTube was made famous by the people who use it. It is US that made YouTube what it is today. But YouTube has gone downhill since the big Fascist-CIA-Google muscled their way into the YouTube boardroom. see more here http://ca.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=krokus69 http://youtube.com/user/911censored http://youtube.com/user/www41musicnet http://youtube.com/user/dippypoggy http://youtube.com/user/parahaduma http://youtube.com/user/OzbinOz http://youtube.com/user/lisa17g http://youtube.com/user/911NEWSS http://youtube.com/user/krokus69 http://youtube.com/user/bsregistration http://youtube.com/user/killfairy http://youtube.com/user/0olo http://youtube.com/user/bunny1hemp http://youtube.com/user/kitten14weed http://youtube.com/user/thatsshit http://youtube.com/user/simonshack http://youtube.com/user/TheWebfairy http://youtube.com/user/paulagloria TAGS: tvfakery 911 wtc ass nipples tensex sex AshleyAlexandraDupre Eliot Spitzer Myspace XXX 911TVF Sex Anti-Censorship myspace sex Official video (hq) dancing patrick ewing jr war inc trailer behind the back slam dunk contest Ashley Alexandra Dupre Eliot Spitzer's Hooker georgetown youtube hoyas thompson hilary duff scorpion sexy scene horny athene paladin chiren movielol tania derveaux lindsey beating teenage girl fight furious sex guitar, hero iii rick astley never gonna give you up speech pennsylvania dancing comedy avril lavigne girlfriend music video rihanna don't stop the music stargate producer rihanna, gina leonard 2007 the island def jam music models group music rihanna don't stop the music pop def jam stargate gina leonard britney spears google video beyonce pink we will rock you werbung pepsi pepsi pepsi. info home train love part music kitty tales dossiers pets anime hot technology science drift hsv kiss regimebald mason de trick school movie voice singing my tv trailer video nouve 3gsm skate cats me video fantasy japan final live fight animation clip amv eminem elton john dancing cat cute soccer episode dance blog final dog girl show robot war dog tv music maple story world of warcraft wow live runescape fashion online games dogs super ovni rock comedy omg 360 fun funny football song sex snow bike amazing do accident kids travel ep car 2006 mario super x factor men angle dude skating dogs birds sexy tits boobs britney spears nude naked striptease dragonballz dragon demon vagina batman awesome
Alex Jones: Internet Censorship
http://www.infowars.com/?p=3730 This is my winning entry for the Alex Jones Internet Censorship video contest (Aug 10, 2008). It won the contest because, out of all the entries, it received the highest number of views before the closing date of August 10th 2008. Thank you to everyone who has watched and shared this video. I am honoured to be the winner as there were so many other good entries for this contest. In this video, which was edited from The Alex Jones Show of 4th August 2008, Alex discusses in detail the serious issue of Internet censorship and how it is affecting us. The only winners of this censorship are the governments and corporate oligarchies who want to severely restrict our freedom of speech and our ability to acquire factual information from independent news sites. If you sit by and do nothing about the info you hear in this video, you are effectively kissing goodbye to the Internet as we know it. By 2012, the 'powers-that-be' plan to turn the Internet into nothing more than a glorified cable TV system where access to anything other than mainstream sites will be highly restricted - just like in communist China today. We cannot allow this to happen. Only the power of the people can stop this. If we fail to voice our views on this issue NOW, the Internet as we know it will be gone forever and important sites like InfoWars.com will not be there for us anymore. I cannot stress enough how important this issue is. Please go to http://www.infowars.com/?p=3730 and check out the links covering Internet censorship and you'll see what I mean. Copy and paste the articles and email them to everyone you know, including the mainstream news sites. Post the articles on MySpace and as many other forums as you can. You can also download this video and upload it to your channel and to other video sites. We need to make a big noise over this, otherwise the elite will go full steam ahead with their plans to dismantle the Internet by 2012. Once the Internet is gone, it's gone forever, and there won't be any complaints departments to complain to when you want the old Internet back. The time to take action is NOW. I tried to squeeze as much into this video as possible, but I had to omit some really important stuff - such as the interview with Paul Watson - who details some of the communist-style Internet censorship that is taking place in the UK right now, and the fact that many universities, libraries and train stations in the UK, are now restricting access to REAL news sites such as Infowars.com. I for one will not sit by and allow this to happen. I don't want to get all my news from the likes of CNN, Fox and the BBC. I want to expand my world view, not limit it. This is a serious call to action folks. We have now reached a huge crisis point in terms of our freedom of speech and our freedom to access information from non-corporate sources. We can either do nothing and just watch the Internet being dismantled before our very eyes, or we can take action now and salvage what's left of the Internet as it stands today. If everyone who watches this video rates it and shares it with their YouTube contacts, we can make our voices heard and together we can save the Internet. All it takes is for everyone to do SOMETHING, no matter how small. Please click on the "Send Video" link (displayed below the video itself), and send this video out to all of your contacts on YouTube. It'll only take 20 seconds of your time, but it will have a big impact in waking people up to what's being done to our freedom of speech and our freedom to access information. It took me a whole day to edit this video. All I ask of you is 20 seconds of your time to rate the video and send it out to your contacts. But if you feel as strongly about Internet censorship as I do, you'll also go to http://www.infowars.com/?p=3730 and start pasting the articles on this subject all over the net. Thank you everyone for your support, I appreciate it immensely. http://www.InfoWars.com http://www.PrisonPlanet.com http://www.JonesReport.com - - - TAGS: alex jones internet2 censorship infowars new world order illuminati google youtube censor view count bush cheney 7/7 9/11 - - -

Cheney`s False Flag Plans: How to provoke a war with Iran
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/sealtricks DEUTSCH http://www.911video.de/news/010808/ Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh — a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The New Yorker — revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President's office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran. In Hersh's most recent article, he reports that this meeting occurred in the wake of the overblown incident in the Strait of Hormuz, when a U.S. carrier almost shot at a few small Iranian speedboats. The "meeting took place in the Vice-President's office. 'The subject was how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,'" according to one of Hersh's sources. During the journalism conference event, I asked Hersh specifically about this meeting and if he could elaborate on what occurred. Hersh explained that, during the meeting in Cheney's office, an idea was considered to dress up Navy Seals as Iranians, put them on fake Iranian speedboats, and shoot at them. This idea, intended to provoke an Iran war, was ultimately rejected: HERSH: There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don't we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up. Might cost some lives. And it was rejected because you can't have Americans killing Americans. That's the kind of — that's the level of stuff we're talking about. Provocation. But that was rejected. Hersh argued that one of the things the Bush administration learned during the encounter in the Strait of Hormuz was that, "if you get the right incident, the American public will support" it. "Look, is it high school? Yeah," Hersh said. "Are we playing high school with you know 5,000 nuclear warheads in our arsenal? Yeah we are. We're playing, you know, who's the first guy to run off the highway with us and Iran." Transcript: HERSH: There was a meeting. Among the items considered and rejected — which is why the New Yorker did not publish it, on grounds that it wasn't accepted — one of the items was why not... There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don't we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up. Might cost some lives. And it was rejected because you can't have Americans killing Americans. That's the kind of — that's the level of stuff we're talking about. Provocation. But that was rejected. So I can understand the argument for not writing something that was rejected — uh maybe. My attitude always towards editors is they're mice training to be rats. But the point is jejune, if you know what that means. Silly? Maybe. But potentially very lethal. Because one of the things they learned in the incident was the American public, if you get the right incident, the American public will support bang-bang-kiss-kiss. You know, we're into it. ...What happened in the Gulf was, in the Straits, in early January, the President was just about to go to the Middle East for a visit. So that was one reason they wanted to gin it up. Get it going. Look, is it high school? Yeah. Are we playing high school with you know 5,000 nuclear warheads in our arsenal? Yeah we are. We're playing, you know, who's the first guy to run off the highway with us and Iran. http://www.911truth.org http://www.911blogger.com http://www.911video.de/news.php http://www.truthmove.org/content/2008... http://patriotsquestion911.com http://cooperativeresearch.org http://www.ae911truth.org http://www.war-is-illegal.org

Cheney Considered Proposal To Provoke War
To Provoke War, Cheney Considered Proposal To Dress Up Navy Seals As Iranians And Shoot At Them Think Progress | July 31, 2008 Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh — a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The New Yorker — revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President's office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran.
