In July of last year, we published an article entitled, "YouTube Censorship Really Hits Home." In that article, we told of our discovery that some of our song parodies had been taken down from YouTube. I had collaborated first with the Cheverly Brothers to set four political parodies of Everly Brothers' songs to music and then with Gary King, the video maker for Jim Fetzer, to make them into videos. Those videos turned out to be collateral damage in the taking down of Fetzer's video channel by YouTube.
Something good came out of the experience, though. Fetzer, as described in the article, had turned to the independent video platform, 153News, to carry his video channel. King had used his own software to produce his Cheverly Brothers videos, so it was a relatively easy matter for him to put them up at 153News. If you want to find those videos at 153 News now, just go to the bottom of the pages, respectively, for Drones, You Won't Fool Me, Bibi's Clowns, and Devoted to Truth at my DCDave web site. The hyperlinks that used to take you to YouTube now take you to 153News.
It was a close call, and I have to admit that I felt some degree of distress that the effort that had gone into making those videos could have turned out to be all for naught. Then I began to think of the potential danger faced by the videos that I had done with other collaborators. Should the new standard announced by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg be adopted by YouTube, a number of them might at any time be deemed too "dangerous" for the tender eyes and ears of the viewing public, and they, too, could fall to the censor's axe. In the case of those videos, I had no confidence that there were saved copies that could simply be transferred to 153News after the YouTube axe had fallen. It occurred to me that I had better hasten to get all of them up on 153News as well as a precaution, which is what I did, with the generous assistance of Jason Boss at 153News.
Those other videos can now be found on the DC Dave channel of 153News. That page, unfortunately, only displays six of the 17 videos when you first call it up. If you want access to all 17, you must click on "Videos" in the menu across the top, between "Home" and "Playlists."
Just recently, my fears for the fate of several of those videos have come close to being realized. Eleven of them were made by a fellow Southerner who advertises himself as a "redneck" and uses the screen name of "Buelahman." About a month ago, WordPress, which had hosted his web site, beat YouTube to the punch and unceremoniously, without warning or any sort of adequate explanation, took down his colorful and informative web site. Go to Buelahman's Twitter page and click on the buelahman.wordpress.com supposed link that you find there and see what you get.
It was a continuation of a WordPress political purge that I first became aware of when they wiped out the equally provocative and informative web site of Scott Creighton, known as American Everyman. Now if you want to see the great illustrations and read the comments on the articles of mine that had been posted on Buelahman.com, where they had been posted for a number of years up until we parted company a couple of years ago, you'll have to use the hit-or-miss method of the Internet archive known as the Wayback Machine.
For the time being, though, Buelahman’s excellent video channel is still up on YouTube. The videos might be up there, but that is not to say that they are completely uncensored. One will discover in the first place that they are hard to find, sometimes even if you know the exact title. The best example I found of that sort of censorship was "A Song for 9/11." I couldn’t find it even when I put the title in along with the name of the channel, "Abuse Productions." I could locate it only by going to the Abuse Productions channel and scrolling laboriously down until it eventually came up.

The Rise of the Crisis Actor Conspiracy Movement
https://youtu.be/To91BJGKr5I
Over the past 10 years, a growing online community of conspiracy theorists and hoaxers known as “truthers” has come to question the official narratives behind every mass shooting that is heavily covered by the media. A common thread in these theories is the government’s role in staging the tragedy with the help of mainstream news, in order to manipulate the general population. In this continuously recycled narrative, the death and destruction of the tragic event is faked, and victims and their families are “crisis actors,” who are performing a role in order to elicit sympathy that can then be used to advocate for new gun laws, or anti-terror surveillance that restricts Americans’ freedom. The commitment to these narratives has escalated to the point where victims are frequently harassed, mocked, and even threatened in retaliation for their supposed deception. We meet some of the proponents of false flag theories, including Side Thorn, a conspiracy theorist in Texas who has been confronting survivors of the Sutherland Springs mass shooting, as well as Tony Mead, administrator of the largest Facebook community dedicated to False Flag narratives, and Wolfgang Halbig, a former school administrator who made a name for himself with the claim that no one died at the Sandy Hook shooting. We also talk to people targeted by hoax theories, like Lenny Pozner whose son Noah was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, David Hogg, who was accused of being a “crisis actor” for his calls for gun control after the mass shooting at his high school in Parkland, Florida, and Frank Pomeroy, whose daughter was killed in the Sutherland Springs shooting.
