JEFF J. BROWN—I had the pleasure to talk with David William Pear on the air today. At 74 years of age, he is an anti-imperial dynamo, waging the good fight, by writing, reporting and protesting, while traveling to countries considered vile by Euranglolanders’ owners. David’s diverse travels and experiences makes for a great radio guest.

The situation there is extremely dangerous for the whole world right now, so our talk is very timely and essential listening.

Resurrecting YouTube’s Banned Videos and Channels
15 minutes readRON UNZ—Banned channels are so labeled, and I’ve also now added a separate section listing all the individually censored or banned videos in my system: http://www.unz.com/video/censored/all/ Although I’ve actually been far too busy with my software work to actually watch almost any of these 250,000 videos I’m providing, whether censored or not, users are encouraged to do so themselves, and then decide whether the ones censored are actually so much criminal and offensive in their content than the tens of millions of videos that YouTube would never consider blocking, let alone what regularly appears on network television.

Kafka 2.0: How Youtube’s Political Censorship Is Exercised
