BLACKLISTED: YouTube “BitChute” Alternative Banned from PayPal

“Go create your own website” has been a common reply to conservatives concerned about Big Tech censorship, but now Leftists can shut them down even when they do that.

Bitchute has marketed itself as the Free Speech alternative to Youtube, but has recently been blacklisted by PayPal. Bitchute founder Ray Vahey announced that PayPal shut down his website’s ability to receive funding through its payment service, effective immediately.

It should be noted that BitChute does have community guidelines about removing content that is truly illegal, violent, or qualifies as a call for violence.

“A few hours ago BitChute received a notice that our PayPal account has been permanently limited, with immediate effect, and that we will no longer be able to accept or send payments,” the statement reads.

Vahey continued by affirming Bitchute’s importance and their company mission, saying,

“BitChute is pro-free expression which is a universal human right. Furthermore, censorship and deplatforming are poor ways to tackle societal problems as they merely create echo chambers that can lead to bigger problems in the long run. It’s important to platform all ideas, as this exposes them to immediate opposition and allows for a public deconstruction of any flaws they may contain. If you are against bigotry or racism or hateful ideologies, you should be pro-free expression.”

The same people who have opted out of using mainstream tech platforms because of their censorious policies are now realizing that even when free speech advocates create their own platforms, they too can be undermined by payment processors. When a company like PayPal withdraws its service, it can functionally deplatform a website by cutting off its flow of income.

When conservatives have previously voiced their concerns about the deplatforming of various Youtubers, many leftists and libertarians often smugly reply that in a free market, companies have a right to deny service, and that conservatives should build their own platforms. The issues with this line of thinking are twofold: 1) It is extremely difficult to build alternative platforms (consider how Google+ with all of their parent company’s resources and reputation, failed to provide a remotely competitive alternative to Facebook) and 2) Payment processors that keep platforms up and running can deny their services with no repercussions.

Even the liberal nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation has expressed concern that payment processors withdrawing their service are acting as...

Sharia law book preaching jihad and hostage taking discovered in Australia airport Islamic prayer room

Muslim imam Sheikh Mohammad Tawhidi found Sharia law books in prayer room
The Arabic language text at Melbourne airport advocated jihad, hostage taking
The Adelaide-based Shia imam was concerned book could radicalise traveller

A Muslim imam has discovered a Sharia law book advocating jihad and hostage taking in Melbourne international airport’s Islamic prayer room.

Sheikh Mohammad Tawhidi, a Shia imam who campaigns against Islamic extremism, saw the Arabic language book shortly before boarding a flight.

The Adelaide-based Shia religious leader and author made a video of himself flicking through the index, which featured references to jihad, ‘taking hostages at war’ and taxing ‘infidel’ non-Muslims.

Shortly before boarding his flight, he told Daily Mail Australia a fundamentalist Sunni Islamic law book had the potential to ‘certainly radicalise someone’.

‘It can turn a regular traveller or a frustrated, vulnerable traveller into an extremist,’ he said, shortly after midday on Thursday. ‘It goes against national security.’

Sheikh Tawhidi said that while the book of Islamic jurisprudence was possibly planted by an activist, Melbourne airport needed to ‘take action’.

Several hours later, Melbourne Airport tweeted to Sheikh Tawhidi to confirm they had removed the Arabic language book, Fiqh us-Sunnah, by Egyptian Sunni Islamic scholar As-Sayyid Sabiq.

‘Thanks for your message. We have a publicly accessible multi-faith prayer room open to travellers of various religions,’ it said.

‘The book has been removed for assessment of its suitability.’

The book about the practices of the Prophet Mohammad was authored by a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a pan-Sunni Islamist group campaigning for a global...

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: ROGER STONE WEIGHS IN ON BOMBSHELL WIKILEAKS TEXT MESSAGES

Political operative Roger Stone released screenshots of text messages between himself and Randy Credico, who Stone claims was the first person to tell him about the Hillary Clinton Wikileaks dump.

This runs contrary to the media’s currently prevailing narrative, which asserts that Stone had advance knowledge of Wikileaks’ plan to release dirt on Hillary Clinton’s campaign from stolen emails.

Cops: McDonald's Worker Charged In BACON Attack

NOVEMBER 15--A McDonald’s cook tried to “shove hot crispy bacon” in the face of her manager during a confrontation Friday that resulted in an assault and battery charge being filed against the worker, according to a police report.

Cops say that the fast food employees faced off at a McDonald’s in Bluffton, South Carolina after manager Tequila Cohen, 33, asked cook Josefina Jimenez to stop eating bacon while she was working in the kitchen.

When Jimenez continued consuming the pork delicacy, Cohen (seen at right) lodged a complaint with her boss, the eatery’s general manager.

As detailed in a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report, Jimenez became angry when Cohen escalated the November 9 bacon beef. The employee allegedly “backed [Cohen] into the corner” and tried to force-feed her “hot crispy bacon.”

Investigators charge that when Cohen sought to push away from Jimenez, the employee--still “grasping the bacon”--struck Cohen in the face. Jimenez also allegedly tossed “a cup of an unknown substance” at Cohen. After the women were separated by a third McDonald’s employee, Cohen called 911.

A police review of surveillance footage supported Cohen’s account of the confrontation, the sheriff’s report notes. Jimenez had left the McDonald’s by the time deputies arrived at the restaurant, which is about 20 miles from Savannah, Georgia (where Jimenez lives, according to the report).

Presented with the sheriff’s account of the incident, a judge issued an arrest warrant charging Jimenez with assault and battery. Beaufort County jail records indicate that Jimenez has...

One of the leading alternative news networks in America will file an amicus brief in support of the White House and President Donald J. Trump as they defend themselves against a lawsuit filed by fake news CNN.

“WE are going to file in the CNN vs White House court an Amicus Brief in favor of the White House. Acosta’s actions are stopping our people from getting their questions answered, so that we can give our audience the real news direct from our President,” said One America News’ CEO Robert Herring.

“Can’t believe Fox is on the other side, but they have direct communication to the President. We are lucky if we get a five minute interview once a quarter,” he continued.

OAN’s motivation could be to snag some of the market share from right-wing news competitor Fox, which surprisingly filed a brief in support of CNN in the lawsuit. Fox News president Jay Wallace accused the White House of “weaponizing” press passes in a statement of support for the CNN suit.

“Fox News supports CNN in its legal effort to regain its White House reporter’s press credential.” President of Fox said in a statement. “We intend to find an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court. Secret Service passes for Working White House journalists should never be weaponized. While we don’t condone the growing antagonistic by both the President and the press at recent media avails, we do support a free press, access and open exchanges for the American people.”

The move angered many Fox viewers, with whom the network was already on thin ice.

CNN is taking the White House to court on the grounds of a First Amendment violation, which has been ridiculed as flatly absurd by many conservative attorneys.

“I just read CNN’s lawsuit against the administration over Jim Acosta. It’s a very weak case, but if they get before an Obama or Clinton district judge, who knows,” constitutional lawyer and conservative radio host Mark Levin said.

“Nonetheless, it is a ridiculous suit. CNN still has reporters at the White House and in the presidential press conferences; Acosta does not have a constitutional right to be physically present in the press room, anymore than the scores of media outlets that do not; Acosta can...
