YouTube takes down Project Veritas video

theouterlight (75) in resistance • 6 years ago

Recently a video by Project Veritas was posted online. This video contained a whistle blower as well as hidden camera footage of a top Google executive. The leaked video exposed the bias that Google has as well as their attempts at changing public opinion and creating the type of reality they desire. I go into this and a few other things in this video.

You can still see the full video from Project Veritas on their website: https://www.projectveritas.com/

This an an interesting development and though I'm not really a fan of project veritas I am against censorship and generally speaking I'm against censorship across the board. I will also defend the free speech rights of those I disagree with and believe they have a right to express themselves.
Now, I'll admit I haven't watched the full video but my comment is in reference to Project Veritas in general. As I understand, Project Veritas received training and financial support from Eric Prince the owner of the private mercenary group Blackwater (which has now changed its name several times).

Prince declined to invest in Black Cube, but appears to have liked the idea of selling a service that provided undercover operatives. During the 2016 election, he became involved with James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, a group of conservative provocateurs who specialize in using hidden-camera footage and secret recordings. O’Keefe, a protégé of the conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart, describes himself as a “guerrilla journalist” and has used undercover cameras in an effort to expose purported liberal bias in political groups and the media. Trump often promoted O’Keefe’s videos and met with O’Keefe just days after he declared his candidacy. (A few weeks before that, Trump had donated $10,000 to Project Veritas through his foundation.) It is unclear if Trump’s support of Project Veritas spurred Prince’s interest in the group, but in late 2015 or early 2016, Prince arranged for O’Keefe and Project Veritas to receive training in intelligence and elicitation techniques from a retired military intelligence operative named Euripides Rubio Jr. According to a former Trump White House official who discussed the Veritas training with Rubio, the former special operative quit after several weeks of training, complaining that the Veritas group wasn’t capable of learning. Rubio did not respond to requests for comment.

Imho and considering the above, I don't find PV to be a trustworthy organization at all.
However, I do not find Google to be a trustworthy organization either. So, idk what to make of this.

Cheers!

Yeah you are right - there is a lot of cross over with "certain parties" you see that a lot - with all these big places. Vested parties are funding both sides of course - no side has blood on their hands - but with PV at the moment, Google is such a massive problem, that I think if it continues - and have most of the power - then I think it will get bad much quicker than it would otherwise - there is no one without some corruption within them at least in regards to large orgs - thanks for link will check it out!

No worries, there's so many psy-ops in motion it's really hard to understand who's who and who's doing what. Also, I'm not saying that I have the answers, not at all. Just thought you might find this detail about Veritas interesting. There's no doubt that intel agencies are involved with, influencing or even coercing some well know tech companies. If we think of InQTel, Palantir, or Amazon's CIA contract they're practically ubiquitous in the space. I take your point on Google's power being of serious concern though and I have to agree.

On a separate note, have you checked out @threespeak yet? It's a new video platform on Steem for content creators who've been deplatformed, demonetized, and censored. They are trying to support these types of creators and you fit the bill. They're also giving very generous upvotes and rewards. Definitely check it out :) Have a good one!

Yes, I have plans of using 3Speak but have been a bit behind at the moment with a number of things - work in the real world etc., to make some money etc., but I am for sure going to join up there - I've seen a lot of people talking about it, and have been hearing good things about it - as for the psy-ops - yeah, there a lot of those happening alright no doubt about it. Regarding InQtel etc., and tech "seeding" in the early parts of what turns into Google etc., - that is like a layer deep below everything else - I did a video on that stuff a year or maybe two ago, and no doubt need another refresher on InQtel etc., since I last look into that part of it. Thanks heaps! Going to have a look into 3speak more tomorrow but no doubt, that sounds like a great idea!
