'The deplatforming of voices like mine, already blocked by commercial media and marginalized with algorithms,' warns ChrisLynnHedges, 'is coupled with the pernicious campaign to funnel people back into the arms of the 'establishment' media.'

The entire archive of On Contact, the Emmy-nominated show I hosted for six years for RT America and RT International, has been disappeared from YouTube. Gone is the interview with Nathaniel Philbrick on his book about George Washington. Gone is the discussion with Kai Bird on his biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Gone is my exploration with Professor Sam Slote from Trinity College Dublin of James Joyce’s “Ulysses.” Gone is the show with Benjamin Moser on his biography of Susan Sontag.

What were my sins? I did not, like my former employer, The New York Times, sell you the lie of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, peddle conspiracy theories about Donald Trump being a Russian asset, put out a 10-part podcast called the Caliphate that was a hoax, or tell you that the information on Hunter Biden’s laptop was “disinformation.” I did not prophesize that Joe Biden was the next FDR or that Hillary Clinton was going to win the election.

I am not alone. YouTube regularly removes or demonetizes channels, which happened to Progressive Soapbox, without warning, usually by arguing that the content contained videos that violated YouTube’s community guidelines. Status Coup, which filmed the January 6 storming of the Capitol, was suspended from YouTube for “advancing the false claims of election fraud.

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges The Ukraine war & all modern wars are caused mainly by the need for energy. I’m trying to build a prototype of my new design for a nuclear fusion reactor to prove it works. It’ll provide very cheap energy; the same as the sun’s energy. Please see my pinned tweet & retweet it.

ChrisLynnHedges Not mentioned in the headline: his show was on Russia Today.

VuePersonnelle ChrisLynnHedges Well y’all might go back to the same ole same ole but this twit just leaves, left religion 60yrs ago or never was into that fraud, left climate 50yrs ago, left politics 40yrs ago, never was sectarian - now look what you’ve done, that’s y’all not moi

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges They deleted 6 years of my work for... Adolf Putler! So sad!

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges This censorship is criminal

ChrisLynnHedges Yes indeed. Join his Substack everybody.

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges Our technocrat dictatorship is well underway

ChrisLynnHedges Censorship is fundamental to communism & socialism. Bolsheviks can't afford to let anything slip. This is a direct quote from a Nobel Prize Winner: “For a Jew, nothing is more insulting than the truth.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

ChrisLynnHedges WE LIVE IN A 🖕🖕🖕🖕CORPORATE MILITARY POLICE STATE🖕🖕🖕🖕

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges The deep state doesn’t like good truthful journalists just stenographers! Wtf

ChrisLynnHedges Chris Hedges is a liberal 'two states solution' Zionist who hopes to bastardize Fred Hampton for purposes of rehabilitating white nationalists. I do not object to his deplatforming

RalphNader ChrisLynnHedges Just sign an agreement with the CIA and u get a TV show?

ChrisLynnHedges you made a bad choice in allying with fascist Russia

ChrisLynnHedges Calling out TeamYouTube SusanWojcicki for gratuitous, unwarranted wholesale data deletion

ChrisLynnHedges Good. Common Dreams, amplifying this RT-shill is disgraceful. He’s not “progressive.” As he told fellow Kremlin agents Krystal & Kyle, his aim is uniting with the right since, as he claimed, “there is no left in the US”. Flawed establishment media perfect fascist disinformation
