A Twitter spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: "While we normally do not discuss individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons, we have permission from the account owner to confirm that account was briefly compromised. We are working with the owner to restore access.”
BUT so far Sean Hannity hasn't explained what the "Form Submission 1649" tweet means. Does Hannity not have access to his twitter account? Did he not tweet the cryptic ""Form Submission 1649"?

SHAME ON YOU USA TODAY!

SHAME ON YOU USA TODAY! The reporter is irresponsibly and recklessly egging TRUMP on by how she MISREPRESENTS Kim Jong Un's comments. The context is that Kim Jong Un is talking about DEFENSE, a reliable war deterrent which prevents the U.S. from starting a war with North Korea: "By also conducting tests of various means of nuclear delivery and super-intense thermonuclear weapon, we attained our general orientation and strategic goal with success, and our Republic has, at last, come to possess a powerful and reliable war deterrent, which no force and nothing can reverse. Our country's nuclear forces are capable of thwarting and countering any nuclear threats from the United States, and they constitute a powerful deterrent that prevents it from starting an adventurous war. In no way would the United States dare to ignite a war against me and our country. The whole of its mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the nuclear button is on my office desk all the time; the United States needs to be clearly aware that this is not merely a threat but a reality."

Jill Stein on Election Recount Effort and Money Goal Being Raised

Dr. Jill Stein Talks about election recount effort during her weekly "Fireside Chat" and she discusses "how we organize ourselves for a more transparent democracy. I will also answer your questions about the recount campaign."

Are absentee ballots counted?

"It is a common misconception that absentee ballots are only counted during very tight races." http://help.vote.org/article/8-are-absentee-ballots-counted This says "all votes are counted, whether they're cast in-person or by absentee ballot." and "all ballots, including absentee ballots, are counted in the final totals for every election, and every vote (absentee or in-person) counts the same." http://www.snopes.com/2016/11/13/who-won-the-popular-vote/

Hillary Lies and a Glimpse of a Hillary Clinton Presidency

THIS is what a Hillary Presidency is going to be like? Hillary refuses to answers basic questions and then resorts to telling another lie. Is this what we have to look forward too? Spread the Word. PLUS see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfgDNvYJ7HY (Hillary Clinton is Extremely Dangerous!)  

Question: Secretary Clinton, there are some reports that these emails were found on devices that belong to your aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, Anthony Weiner. Have you spoken to Huma? Was she able to give you any information about that? 

Hillary Clinton: You know, we’ve heard these rumors. We don’t know what to believe. And I’m sure there will be even more rumors. That’s why it is incumbent upon the FBI to tell us what they’re talking about…Because right now, your guess is as good as mine, and I don’t think that’s good enough.So we’ve made it very clear that if they’re going to be sending this kind of letter that is only going originally to Republican members of the House that they need to share whatever facts they claim to have with the American people, and that’s what I expect to happen. Thank you all.

Media's Race Omissions: Black Cop AND Riots Targeting Whites in ‪Milwaukee‬

Not only did mass media fail to report that the Milwaukee Police Officer who shot Sylville Smith is African-American, but there was a GLARING OMISSION of the fact that black rioters were targeting and attacking white people. And an independent reporter (who I asked to ask the protesters if they knew the cop who shot Smith is black) was in such fear for his life that he abandoned reporting on the the ground about the ‪Milwaukee‬ "uprising." He reveals that a white teen was shot in the neck during these black riots.

UPDATED VIDEO INFO

UPDATED VIDEO INFO (for the video Don't miss your chance to have an impact! Register by Oct 12): 

Ron Paul is NOT a safeguard for world peace. He can't even bring himself to accept international law! Ron Paul can't even commit to adhering to the U.S. Constitution. It explicitly says treaties signed are law of the land yet he has adopted the macho man mentality of bashing the UN and ignoring the obligation to uphold international law. Also his domestic policies are freakishly wrong, he has swallowed propaganda. Claiming Social Security is unconstitutional shows he's a nasty crank.

I don't like his BS economic theories including denying the suffering during the Great Depression. I don't like the neanderthal mentality of hostility towards treaties, he really is just aping greedy businessmen who see them as an impediment to their greed. I don't like him lying about what the government can and can't do as if private business is some sort of savior. He claims the government can't make jobs or "real jobs," he is so fanatical with his economic theories that he says falsehoods about basic fundamental facts. Slick politicians can simply avoid mentioning something but he denies the fact that the government CAN and DOES make money. 

Look at the Alaska Permanent Fund. Don't you think Alaskans are happy to get a check from the profits? People in Alaska are GETTING CHECKS from the Alaska Permanent Fund. 

Look at the TVA. The government CAN and DOES make money. Corporate dominated public discourse is such that you will probably never hear it but the Tennessee Valley Authority is a federal corporation and the nation's largest public power company and it makes money. Google TVA and look under "About TVA" then "TVA FAQ"  "The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors serving 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity." For over 70 years the TVA has proving people like Alex Jones wrong. As I pointed out, the economic system doesn't work without Gov. help anyway. why should we allow profits to only flow into private hands?

" http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/10/message-to-some-one-who-gave-my-video.html

Look at the Bank of North Dakota. We shouldn't be happy with a select few owning banks and getting a sweetheart deal as they exploit our economy instead of a bank model along the lines of the Bank of North Dakota. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) is a state-owned-run financial institution, based in Bismarck, North Dakota and has been working successfully for DECADES. "The Bank of North Dakota was established by legislative action in 1919 to promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota." What is wrong with that? Instead greedy bankers owning banks so profits go to them for private jets, yachts and mansions why shouldn't the profits be going to the people? Far too many people have been hoodwinked by propaganda if you think private banks are better. 

Remember when the Capitalists fell on their faces (again) and had to be bailed out by the government (again)? Capitalism has to keep relying on Socialism to bail it out! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVDPxVy7h38&list=PL74D77C3F57F6314F

The power players insist that THEY should own the means of production. But successful socialism would have socialist firms creating wealth. Why should we be content with fat cats dominating our economy and owning major energy firms instead of  having a model where the people own them and the profits then can go to the people? How can anyone ignore the decades of success of the TVA?

The TVA has been working FOR DECADES. And by the way, I just learned of another reason to hate Obama because as I was researching even more about the TVA I leaned that that sone of a bitch was trying to sell it off to privatize it! As I have explained in other videos, Obama is one of the elites and he sells out the average American for the interests of private power! It is amazing how many people were duped by I tried to expose him early on (BEFORE he was elected) see video and what Gravel tried to expose: https://youtu.be/dfe8gxusBUI?t=1m13s

Hillary Clinton Exposed as Dishonest, Disrespectful and Arrogant Politician

Israel is the aggressor. Overwhelmingly Israel, not Palestine, kills first.

Israel is the aggressor. Overwhelmingly Israel, not Palestine, kills first.

See Reigniting Violence,  How Do Ceasefires End? by Nancy Kanwisher 

"Thus, a systematic pattern does exist: it is overwhelmingly Israel, not Palestine, that kills first following a lull. Indeed, it is virtually always Israel that kills first after a lull lasting more than a week.

The lessons from these data are clear:

First, Hamas can indeed control the rockets, when it is in their interest. The data shows that ceasefires can work, reducing the violence to nearly zero for months at a time.

Second, if Israel wants to reduce rocket fire from Gaza, it should cherish and preserve the peace when it starts to break out, not be the first to kill." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nancy-kanwisher/reigniting-violence-how-d_b_155611.html

Also see The Truth About Cease-fire Violations Between Israel and Gaza by John Glaser

"Israel violates the cease-fires more often, bombs Gaza more times than Gaza rockets Israel, and kills more Palestinians than Palestinians kill Israelis. But these findings are not what is striking. What is striking about this is that almost everybody believes the opposite of the reality. Here’s Munayyer with more on that: … 

Of the nearly 120 Israeli cease-fire violations during this period the New York Times reported on 17 of them. Additionally, most of these stories (eleven) came either during the first week of the cease-fire, when the issue was still fresh in readers’ minds, or since the escalation on December 20th. That means for the bulk of this period, during which Israel committed 87 cease-fire violations and causing some 91 Palestinian casualties over nearly a one year period there were only six stories on the topic. This represents a systematic failure to cover Israeli cease-fire violations.

Making matters worse is the way events are covered in the rare instances they are covered. In most cases, Israeli actions are described as a response to Palestinian actions. So while most Israeli cease-fire violations are not covered at all, those that are are explained as justified retaliation. Thus the reader is completely misled about the dynamics of fire, why the cease-fire is threatened and exactly what is going on in and around Gaza." http://antiwar.com/blog/2014/02/06/the-truth-about-cease-fire-violations-between-israel-and-gaza/

http://www.thenation.com/article/180783/five-israeli-talking-points-gaza-debunked#

"Hamas operatives were behind a large volley of rockets which slammed into Israel Monday morning, the first time in years the Islamist group has directly challenged the Jewish state, according to Israeli defense officials.

The security sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, assessed that Hamas had probably launched the barrage in revenge for an Israeli airstrike several hours earlier which killed one person and injured three more."

NOTE: "After Israeli airstrike -> Hamas fires rockets for first time since 2012 "

This pattern was the same in 2008 too: "Chris Hedges points out what Israel has been doing to Gaza, things which are often either not reported or under reported by mainstream media, "the point of this Israeli siege, ostensibly, is to break Hamas, the radical Islamic group that was elected to power in 2007. But Hamas has repeatedly proposed long-term truces with Israel and offered to negotiate a permanent truce. During the last cease-fire, established through Egyptian intermediaries in July, Hamas upheld the truce although Israel refused to ease the blockade. It was Israel* that, on Nov. 4, initiated an armed attack that violated the truce and killed six Palestinians. It was only then that Hamas resumed firing rockets at Israel. Palestinians have launched more than 200 rockets on Israel since the latest round of violence began. There have been no Israeli casualties." - Israel’s 'Crime Against Humanity,' by Chris Hedges, Posted on Dec 15, 2008" Read more of that blog post here: Israel Attacks Gaza Again 
 http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/12/israel-attacks-gaza-again.html

 Here are some details which may change your mind if you look at them objectively. As I showed, Zionists haven't only been lying about recent history, they have lied about the history. First of all, Israel was declared in May 1948. So do you deny all the Zionist attacks that happened before that? Are you a denier of the Deir Yassin massacre? You don't know that it was perpetrated BEFORE May 1948? Look at the date: "The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948."

And you should take note of the note I included in the following info which explains: "The fact is from November 1947 to May 1948 the Zionists were already on the offensive and had already attacked Arabs. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had driven 300,000 non-Jews off their land. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had seized land beyond the proposed Jewish State."

As early as 1891, decent Jews were shocked at the actions of Zionist Jews:

"They treat the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, unscrupulously deprive them of their rights, insult them without cause. and even boast of such deeds; and none opposes this despicable and dangerous inclination." p144 The Gun and the Olive Branch: The Roots of Violence in the Middle East by David Hirst http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/01/hostility-and-cruelty-as-early-as-1891.html

And look at these ACTIONS: Christians in Jerusalem want Jews to stop spitting on them  http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/christians-in-jerusalem-want-jews-to-stop-spitting-on-them-1.137099

Evidence of early Zionists' murderous refusal of a peaceful coexistence with the Palestinians is perhaps the most dramatic when it involves the killing of Jewish civilians. One of the victims on the list was Jacob de Haan, a Dutch Jew, killed for the "crime" of attempting to work out a peaceful solution between the new settlers and the local Palestinians in 1921. Their own records reveal them saying "another reason for assassinating him was that he was a homosexual."

If you are concerned about Jews then you should respect the history of Jews who actually did stand for justice. Some paid with their lives for insisting that racism is wrong. Zionists killed OTHER JEWS who dared point out what I am saying. The Hagana archives contain the names of 40 JEWS who were killed by Irgun and the Stern Group (Jewish terrorist groups). Look at the example of an anti-Zionist native Jewish inhabitant of Palestine who was assassinated as he left his synagogue in June 1924 by two Haganah agents (Jewish terrorists) As early as 1924 these sick racist Zionists killed Jews because they stood in the way of their racist plan. Even a religious Jew was targeted by Zionists as he left his synagogue.

Zionist terrorist groups killed Jews and non-Jews. From the beginning of the Zionist agenda, terrorist force was planned for and used. "In the single month of July 1938" Zionists killed more Arabs "than Arabs had killed Jews in the whole of that year so far." The terrorist bombing of the Arab Melon Market in Haifa was just one of the Jewish Zionist attacks that inflicted horrific casualties and injuries. The explosion set bodies flying through the air, the bodies "dead, maimed and injured." "Among the blood-spattered human remains were the mangled bodies of three horses, several mules and donkeys which had brought the villager's produce to the crowded market." A Jewish terrorist planted the bomb in the same area where another bomb had been set off just three weeks earlier which had killed 18 Arabs. This bomb killed 53 Arabs and 1 Jew.

The official history of the Irgun makes little pretense that these actions were retaliatory, as is often alleged, referring proudly, for example, to the murder of 27 Arabs to prevent the celebration over the British White Paper limiting Jewish immigration, the murder of more 52 more when an Irgun member was arrested by the British, etc. The record is generally suppressed in the U.S., where cynics refer to terror and intimidation as an invention of the PLO.

You should listen to what HENRY SIEGMAN said in this interview with AMY GOODMAN:

AMY GOODMAN: The Israeli historian, Benny Morris.

HENRY SIEGMAN: The Israeli historian, right, then in the book Righteous Victims, in which he said—I recall, when I read it, I was shocked—in which he—particularly in his most recently updated book, which was based on some new information that the Israel’s Defense—the IDF finally had to open up and publish, that Israeli generals received direct instructions from Ben-Gurion during the War of Independence to kill civilians, or line them up against the wall and shoot them, in order to help to encourage the exodus, that in fact resulted, of 700,000 Palestinians, who were driven out of their—left their homes, and their towns and villages were destroyed. This was terror, even within not just the terrorist groups, the pre-state terrorists, but this is within the military, the Israeli military, that fought the War of Independence. And in this recent book, that has received so much public attention by Ari—you know, My Promised Land.

AMY GOODMAN: Shavit.

HENRY SIEGMAN: Ari Shavit. He describes several such incidents, too. And incidentally, one of the people who—according to Benny Morris, one of the people who received these orders—and they were oral orders, but he, in his book, describes why he believes that these orders were given, were given to none other than Rabin, who was not a general then, but he—and that he executed these orders.

AMY GOODMAN: Meaning?

HENRY SIEGMAN: Meaning?

AMY GOODMAN: What did it mean that he executed these orders, Rabin?

HENRY SIEGMAN: That he executed civilians. And the rationale given for this when Shavit, some years ago, had an interview with Benny Morris and said to him, "My God, you are saying that there was deliberate ethnic cleansing here?" And Morris said, "Yes, there was." And he says, "And you justify it?" And he said, "Yes, because otherwise there would not have been a state."http://www.democracynow.org/2014/7/30/henry_siegman_leading_voice_of_us

What Israel imposed was not the UN RECOMMENDATION. (a crazy recommendation of chopping up Palestine into 7 zones.) Israel is the aggressor. In practice, Zionists did NOT accept the UN Partition Plan. Zionists seized areas beyond the proposed Jewish State and did not recognize the International Zone. Using force and terrorism months before May 1948, Jews seized land beyond the UN proposed borders. The UN Plan was used as a pretense for taking over most of Palestine.

NOTE: This is a critical fact often omitted when the history is presented and this leads to a very distorted view of what happened in 1948. The misleading story often told is that "Jews declared Israel and then they were attacked." The fact is from November 1947 to May 1948 the Zionists were already on the offensive and had already attacked Arabs. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had driven 300,000 non-Jews off their land. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had seized land beyond the proposed Jewish State.

Zionists immediately started seizing land, even land beyond what the UN partition set for the proposed Jewish State. Attacks were from both sides but were instigated by the Zionists seizing land and a reaction to the aggressive ethnic cleansing under way. After the massive ethnic cleansing and expansion beyond the UN suggested boarders, Arab states responded INTO THE AREAS THAT WERE TO BE FOR THE UN PROPOSED PALESTINIAN STATE. Also, Jordan had an agreement with Israel to prevent a Palestinian State so Jordan invaded the West Bank. 

The fact that the rights of the majority, 67% of the population, were violated is suppressed in the media. Why in the world would you think it is legitimate for 33% of a population to seize land and carve up the land into 7 parts? Why in the world should 67% of a population ever accept that? These population stats, which highlight just how undemocratic the UN proposal really was, are almost never mentioned in US media. Read more here: http://www.representativepress.org/IsraelHistory.html

Israeli aggression is part of a pattern which started "immediately after the armistice agreements of 1949, Israel began encroachments into the demilitarized zones along with military attacks with many civilian casualties and the expulsion of thousands of Arabs" p. 101 Fateful Triangle, Updated Edition : The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians (Search my blog for links to sources)

The shocking fact is some 39,000 Palestinians who were "lucky" to find themselves within Israel were robbed anyway! "Israel seized property and land from some 39,000 Palestinians who escaped expulsion and remained in Israel. It was never retuned, and these individuals never received compensation although they are citizens of Israel." (see The Palestinians: In Search of a Just Peace by Cheryl A. Rubenberg )http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/05/dominant-zionist-plan.html

Apparently you don't know the history and have instead just accepted the Zionist narrative. You need to understand that Israel is the aggressor and the agenda is imposing a racist state  on as much of Palestine as they can get away with. Israel's attack in 1967 was part of that agenda. Chomsky points out how Zionists fabricate history: "It is not even controversial that in 1967 Israel attacked Egypt ... to convert it into an Arab invasion is rather audacious -- or would be, if the practice were not routine."  -Chomsky, Deterring Democracy Chapter 6 Menachem Begin admitted: "In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him." 

General Yitzhak Rabin, Chief of Staff, Israeli Defence Forces:

"I do not believe that Nasser wanted war. The two divisions which he sent into Sinai on May 14 would not have been enough to unleash an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it." (Le Monde, February 28, 1968 ) 

If you read Norman Finkelstein's book "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict" you can learn that Israel wanted another war and rejected attempts to prevent it. "U.N. Secretary-General U Thant proposed (with the support of Israel's closest allies, the US and Canada) the repositioning of UNEF on the Israeli side of the border", Israel rejected this.

And the history shows that Israel was rejecting the diplomatic attempts to address the Straits, Egypt accepted but Israel rejected a special mediator to deal with the situation. "Reaching Cairo just after the blockade was announced, U Thant elicited a "very significant" (his words) assent from Nasser to a new diplomatic initiative: the appointment of a special UN representative to mediate the crisis, and a two-week moratorium on all belligerent acts in the Straits. Israel peremptorily rejected both of U Thant's proposals." "Nasser repeatedly expressed willingness to submit the Straits dispute to the World Court" Israel REFUSED.

"Alongside U Thant, the U.S. also tried its hand at mediation in late May and early June. Nasser agreed to send his vice-president to Washington to explore a diplomatic settlement BUT "Just two days before the Egyptian's scheduled arrival, however, Israel attacked." Israel wanted war, not mediation, and it used anything it could as an excuse to attack.

What right did Israel have to the Straits of Tiran anyway? They were opened by force when Israel attacked Egypt in 1956. Nasser had every right to close them as Nasser said he did because Israel continued to refuse to honor the UN resolutions calling on it to allow the Palestinians refugees expelled during the 1948 war to return home. (Israel was accepted into the United Nations on condition that it accept the Right of Return of the Palestinian refugees.)

Israel had no right to launch a war of aggression in 1956 and then get rewarded for it by being allowed to use the Straits. "Indeed, President Eisenhower had delivered perhaps the most impassioned defense of the principle that Israel’s withdrawal must be without conditions, asking rhetorically if: ”…a nation which attacks and occupies a foreign territory in the face of United Nations disapproval should be allowed to impose conditions on its withdrawal?” p. 137 Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict

The UN should not reward aggressors, the UN could not 'condone a change of the status juris resulting from military action contrary to the provisions of the Charter' p. 137 Image And Reality And Israel had continued its aggression against Syria, Egypt was under no obligation to help Israel by allowing it to ship through the Straits. Even a claim of a "right of free passage" doesn't include shipping supplies to facilitate military aggressions. Egypt's case was very strong and Israel knew it stood a real chance of losing its claim of a right of passage had the issue been decided on a legal basis.

 The rich and powerful spent millions of dollars to indoctrinate the public as I have explained on my blog: (they spent millions to "educate" the public into believing myths which are against the interests of the common man. See:
The Everlasting Battle for the Minds of Men

On the 2 disk CD Propaganda & Control of the Public Mind, Chomsky explains things about how the economics work for the rich and powerful. The story they sell the public is that private industries are "rugged individualists" that don't rely of the government. Disc One, Track 16 is called "Welfare for the Rich" and here Chomsky exposes the fact that Newt Gingrich was the biggest welfare freak in the country. But Newt wants the welfare to go to the rich. This isn't what is called corporate welfare, this is the system of subsidy of research and development. He explains the way in which our economy works: massive public subsidy and privatization of profit. Technology is developed under the guise of the military and handed over to private power when it works.

On Track 22, "Selling Free Enterprise", Chomsky says this is a good book, the first study he has ever heard on this major theme of modern history, the business communities' plans to use public relations industry indoctrinate the population in the "capitalist story": Selling Free Enterprise: The Business Assault on Labor and Liberalism, 1945-60 (The History of Communication) by Elizabeth A. Fones-Wolf. He says the material is pretty revealing. The things that went into creating the "Mohawk Valley Formula". The efforts to drive ideas like public control over industry out of people's heads. Fones-Wolf writes about the leaders of the public relations industry and what they called "The Everlasting Battle for the Minds of Men." ... more from that blog post here

If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back.

From NYT article Published: September 12, 2001 By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

"Yasser Ahmed, manager of an Arab-owned candy and grocery store on Broadway in Upper Manhattan, said about 10 people had come in shouting, ''You guys did it!'' and other accusations.

At an Arab-owned grocery store on West 177 Street, a shouting match erupted among customers when a Palestinian woman blamed American support of Israel for the terrorism.

''I'm Arabic and Palestinian and I have just one thing to say,'' said Yasmeen Hindi, 19, a customer at Uptown Deli Grocery. ''I feel bad, but Americans have to understand something: If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back. Stop supporting the Israelis.''

UPDATE: See the stunt YouTube pulled!

Metal Fires which may have been in the World Trade Center ( WTC2 )

"Much of this debris came from the aircraft itself and from the office furnishings that the aircraft pushed forward as it tunneled to this far end of the building. Large fires developed on these piles shortly after the aircraft impact and continued to burn in the area until the tower collapsed. " Isn't it common sense that any metal fires are due to material we would expect when a plane crashes into those floors? You do know they make Fire Extinguishers for metal fires because they can happen with aircraft materials:

 Class D Fire Extinguishers are used for fighting class D Fires.

Class D: Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys.

Class D Fire Extinguishers are mainly used for the aircraft industry, auto body shops, factories that work with metals, and other metal fire hazards.

 https://fireextinguisherdepot.com/fire-extinguishers-1/class-d-fire-extinguishers.html

I thought your "controlled demolition" theory insisted that MANY floors (almost every floor or ALL floors) were attacked with "thermite" to make the towers collapse "so fast" *so why are these metal fires only where the plane material was?

I hope you see my other comment I just posted: +The Amazing Atheist Yes of course it is manipulation of the media and it is clear that it is why the policy was put into place, because some people resented some content creators making money while discussing certain topics and I think it was expanded in order to do do EXACTLY as you describe "discouraging content creators from talking about certain issues"

I hope you see my other comment I just posted: This is what people have been talking about. It is YouTube policy to not allow you to monetize it because of the topic.
 Please help by sharing the link to this petition with your fans because I think everyone will see that we are all in the same boat with this policy change: https://www.change.org/p/larry-page-cofounder-google-susan-wojcicki-ceo-of-youtube-eric-e-schmidt-executive-chairman-google-sergey-brin-co-founder-of-google-sridhar-ramaswamy-senior-vice-president-ads-commerce-youtube-please-restore-ad-revenue-for-journalists-reporting-on-wa?recruiter=393335316&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=share_twitter_responsive
I think many will see the need for solidarity and want to share this petition. We really need to work together to get YouTube to reverse this destructive policy change because it could even get worse. What is being aggressively imposed now is just one of the 5 main things YouTube lists as "Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising" but look at the third one listed at their policy page: "Inappropriate language , including harassment, profanity and vulgar language" and think about how many times you use the "F" word in your videos. We need to get back to the original policy fast before it gets even worse and as far as independent journalism it already is extremely bad.

This is the wording from YouTube's policy page as it stands now where it mentions war and political conflicts: “Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising includes but is not limited to: … Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.” source: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6162278?hl=en
 (and as I point out, that is just part of what they list as things supposedly "inappropriate for advertising";) So please mention this petition in your next video and ask your viewers to sign it and share it with others because YOU and I and EVERY OTHER content creator should not be financially hindered because of topics we discuss if we abide by what was the original YouTube policy as abiding by Terms of Use.

Reports of Death on the News

“another study found that reports of death on the news make viewers respond more positively to advertisements for status products, like luxury cars and Rolex watches.” p. 140 The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It by Kelly McGonigal

YouTube, Please Restore Ad Revenue for Journalists Reporting on War

Youtube and Google have made a major change to their longstanding advertising policy and this has resulted in an enormous setback for independent journalism. Their policy change deprives independent journalists of advertising revenue if they report on such topics as war and political conflicts. This imposes a serious financial hardship for those trying to earn revenue from reporting.

For years journalists have been led to believe that they could report on the news of the day and earn an income for their work through the placement of ads which YouTube and Google would place. Now YouTube and Google have pulled the rug out from under independent journalists by arbitrarily declaring topics such as war and political conflicts to be content which they no longer consider “advertiser-friendly.” 

What we are asking for with this petition is a return to the policy which allowed independent journalists to earn income from advertising revenue exactly the way it was in previous years with the original YouTube/Google policy. The promise which YouTube/Google held of giving those reporting independently from “mass media” or “mainstream news” a way to earn revenue has been cruelly taken away.

If you value a healthy free press then we ask you to join with others signing this petition asking YouTube/Google to restore the policy they had before they changed it. The button to sign this petition and the tools to share this petition are on this page to the right. And there have been victories where YouTube has been successfully petitioned with a Change.org petition, so let's work towards another victory: Please Sign this and Share this with everyone you can.

Below are more details about how wrong, unfair and misguided Youtube and Google’s policy change is along with specific examples and explanations: 

“Monetize” is the term YouTube uses to describe allowing a video to have the ability to earn revenue through advertising.

We are asking for YouTube/Google to return to the policy which had allowed independent journalists to monetize their videos even when reporting on newsworthy topics such as war and political conflicts. It is important to note that YouTube/Google has arbitrarily imposed an enormous disadvantage on independent journalists compared to major media outlets which can and still do derive revenue from commercials appearing on their TV news shows and websites. And the very fact that there are plenty of commercials during TV news, which often features stories about war and political conflicts, calls into question the premise of YouTube's new argument that such topics are "unfriendly to advertisers.”

Author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. cites studies in her book “The Willpower Instinct” which challenge the premise that content YouTube is now suddenly deeming “inappropriate for advertising” might hurt sales, “another study found that reports of death on the news make viewers respond more positively to advertisements for status products, like luxury cars and Rolex watches.” So if the premise that YouTube is arguing is that they have to impose their unfair policy change to “protect advertisers,” the argument doesn’t hold water. And how could it since for years YouTube had monetized videos on serious subjects such as war and political conflicts?

An example of the unreasonableness of this YouTube policy change is the demonetization of a video titled “War Warning from Madison, 4th US President.” That video quoted the Father of the Constitution who wrote,  “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.” That video had been monetized for years, yet now, with the policy change, we are apparently being told that advertisers will supposedly find James Madison's words "too controversial or sensitive?”

This is the wording from YouTube's policy page as it stands now where it mentions war and political conflicts: “Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising includes but is not limited to: … Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.” source: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6162278?hl=en

Yet even on that same policy page Youtube seems willing to allow for “newsworthy” content “where the creator’s intent is to inform” and “not offend or shock” when they say: “In short, advertiser-friendly content is appropriate for all audiences, from our youngest to older viewers. It is content that has little to no inappropriate and/or mature content in the video stream, thumbnail, or metadata such as video title. If there may be inappropriate content, the context is usually newsworthy or comedic where the creator’s intent is to inform or entertain, and not offend or shock.”

But the problem now is that in many cases YouTube is not taking into account if videos are newsworthy or if the creator's intent is to inform. And we can see many examples where the policy isn't even being applied equally to all content creators, some are allowed to earn revenue through advertising on subjects YouTube claims are "controversial or sensitive” while others are not even when reporting on the same topics such as war and political conflicts. (see example in this video)

There is serious concern that this policy change is being exploited to financially disincentive reporters on YouTube from reporting on things which some don’t want reported. YouTube says “when determining if a video is suitable for advertising” they not only rely on “sophisticated technology” but “we also depend on our user community to flag inappropriate videos to us for our review.” And now it appears that special interests can abuse this system by coordinating attacks in order to financially harm YouTube channels reporting things they disapprove of.

What we are petitioning for is simply the very same right to support our work with advertising revenue as the network TV news shows do. Depriving reporters on YouTube of that same opportunity is destroying the promise YouTube once held for truly independent journalism. Without the same kind of revenue generating opportunities as network news, journalists trying to report independently suffer an enormous disadvantage and many simply cannot afford to continue operating as they had. This change is effectively economic censorship imposing political censorship.

Whatever the motivation for imposing the new policy, depriving independent journalists posting videos on Youtube or writing on their websites of the same financial opportunities which major media's network news profit from is misguided and unfair. It puts those who challenge the dominating news outlets at a enormous disadvantage. Several independent media channels have put years of work into building on the funding model which YouTube's long standing policy had once promised but now that has been ripped away. If you enjoy independent media then you will want to sign this petition because without a reliable source of income many independent media cannot function at the same level.

Please don't sit back and allow YouTube/Google to take away the same opportunities of revenue earning which major media outlets can and still do benefit from on TV and websites. You can help petition YouTube/Google to ask them to stop imposing such a financial hardship on independent media. Signing this petition and sharing it with others helps spread the word. This video titled “YouTube, Please Restore Ad Revenue for Journalists Reporting on War & Political Conflicts” promotes this petition and viewing it and sharing it with others helps get the word out about our efforts.
