Looks like YouTube is giving Alex Jones the Confederate Hero treatment. They are not just banning him and his channel, they are banning third party interviews as well.
Scroll down to see social justice at work.
There are so many angles and oddities to this story. Once more, we are reminded that we know the Left better than the Left knows us. Theirs is a mockingbird world where a consensus of opinion and verbiage is spoon fed to them minus the proverbial grain of salt.
We understand and appreciate and practice or at least acknowledge nuance. The politburo sees a successful and popular right wing propagandist. We see a slugger who can hit breathtaking home runs but we also see the 20 consecutive strikeouts. Do we want this guy in the lineup? Can we use him as a pinch-hitter? Would you buy a jar of vitamins from this man?
I started viewing AJ in 2016. In the election season, I expanded my my cultural horizons. A few additions to my daily news digest:
Former Sanders supporter and anti-corruptionist, H. A. Goodman.
Former Huffpo contributor (he got canned for reporting honestly on Hillary's health) who might be thought of as the pope of the Pizzagate cult, David Seaman.
Vermont occultist Styenhammer666.
Infowars and their comic book cast of characters.
I should mention that "comic book character" is not an insult. I define real life comic book characters as people with a different sense of proportion. They live in a literally illustrious world where talents are super powers and any and every character flaw is expressed as pure evil. At the top of my list of real life comic book figures is a man who I have only come to respect in the past few years but for whom I hold more respect than any living human being: Donald Joseph Trump.
Back to AJ and Infowars. The super hero assembled a legion of oversized personalities: Roger Stone, Dr. Steve Pieczenik, Paul Joseph Watson, Zach, Dr. Jerome Corsi, Millennial Millie...it was a fun place to be. My jumping off point came when Jones starting selling the idea of DJT being compromised by the deep state, even being surreptitiously drugged or poisoned by those baby-raping thugs. I think otherwise.
Infowars seemed to lose a lot of followers on their Q Anon comments. As with the MSM overlords, a lot of Seventeeners do not appreciate nuance. I think some of them might have been a little too harsh in their criticisms of Jones and Corsi but I cannot referee every flame war.
A lot of lessons from the Youtube/Jones saga. First is the inability and unwillingness of the overlords to understand their rivals. In their fervor to ban dissent, they probably selected one of the lesser-influential/higher profile voices to silence. Socially and politically, the Alex Jones ban might be something like banning "Walker: Texas Ranger" reruns.
While the actions might make sense to the political class, the rabble would probably react by asking, "Why Chuck Norris?" "Is Chuck still living?" "Isn't Norris an underrated genius?" "Do you think Mr. Octagon is getting some of that DCAA moolah?" "Is Chuckles controlled opposition?" "Is this an elaborate publicity stunt in which the alleged victim is actually a co-conspirator?"
As absurd as the Alex Jones-of-all-people-ban might appear, it is also a sobering reminder of just how powerful the tech gods happen to be. YouTube and Facebook flexed their muscles and look what happened. We should all take heed.

Trey Gowdy, Superstar
If you want to blog and you don't have anything prepared, you can always post a Trey Gowdy video. He never disappoints. Never.
It is a milestone, or if not a milestone a gauge of a performer's status, when a YouTuber actually takes the time to compile a playlist of your memorable videos. Usually, the more popular the artist, the longer the playlists as well as the greater number of playlists.
Trey Gowdy is not the only congressman I know of who has a playlist compiled (there were Ron Paul playlists but he is retired) but he has a multitude of playlists. Most of them are from the floor of Congress but he does make a TV appearance and he also addresses gatherings of people who are interested in Constitutional issues.
This playlist contains 200 videos. That's right, 200.
If that playlist is not complete, this 15 video list might have one you are looking for.
This 14 video list is entitled "Best of Trey Gowdy." Might be accurate in its assessment.
This 46 video list focuses on IRS testimony.
These are not the only playlists. YouTube searches can meander so I stopped looking after page 34 but there were Gowdy vids on almost every page.
Nancy Pelosi has several but most of hers are posted by her political opponents, including Eric Cantor.
Here is an Issa playlist.
My research is not complete but I have not found any other Congressional playlists. Not sure I could listen to any of them not named Gowdy anyway,

Youtube Blocks Mark Dice's Channel Without Explanation
It's an open secret that Youtube 'disappears' certain videos or otherwise harasses video posters. Usually the bullied are small potatoes. They have small megaphones and who will hear them complain? Now, a big fish has been 86'd.
Mark Dice had over 55 million hits and 265,000 subscribers. We embedded him at this site. He would ask ridiculous questions to San Diego residents that highlighted general public ignorance as well as blind loyalty and unwavering allegiance to the current administration.
The most popular videos on Dice’s channel lambasted supporters of Barack Obama. Dice had built up a reputation for his ‘man on the street’ videos which featured him getting Obama supporters to sign petitions that called for a number of insane proposals, like putting gun owners in concentration camps, killing newborn babies, repealing the first amendment to silence criticism of Obama, and granting Obama immunity from all crimes.

I am happy to report that Mark Dice's channel mysteriously reappeared three hours after it disappeared. Let's hope this is the end of this ugly story.

I Hate Google
Google owns Youtube. Google supports Obama and the NSA's domestic surveillance.
I believe but cannot prove that Google buries anti-Obama videos. Searches don't turn up certain videos. Popular videos have low viewer counts. Then, frustratingly, they disappear. Maybe it is all as innocent as the Duke of Duplicity's fainting women. Maybe.
I tried to repost a summary of Obama's fainting women and guess what? Silly me. I must have misremembered the existence of such a video.
Like video rodents who pop up only to be hammered down unflattering Obama videos sometimes make a comeback. Hope the following does not get scrubbed by Googlebama.
YET ANOTHER FAINTING WOMAN COMPILATION
