I didn't watch your link (I rarely follow stray YouTube links). However regarding Ron Paul, I don't envy what he has endured in his lifetime from moronic opponents on both sides of the political aisle. The YouTube video of him being harangued & attacked by zombie anti-drug zealots on the Morton Downey Jr show is enough to feel sorry for him for a lifetime. Persevere, though? Anyone that dares to tell the truth today is begging for a blacklisting. That's what building the big tech censorship systems is all about (which will be America's version of the great firewall), being able to dictate what the supposed truth is for any given topic at any given moment in time. It's a martyrs game, telling the truth, I assume Ron Paul has known that for a long time.

Yep. We saw it with Andrew Yang as well. Either being left out completely, or media outlets taking about 'him' without actually saying his name.

  I'm skeptical of this media blackout. I heard lots of people talking about this, he was on podcasts, I saw him interviewed. Look at how much discussion there is about him running in NYC. I think it was much more that there were a whole lot of credible people running and there wasn't enough air in the room for him to get much. I saw every losing group complain of the election being stolen from them in some way, Warren, Sanders, Yang.

    > I saw every losing group complain of the election being stolen from them in some way, Warren, Sanders, Yang. The irony of this statement is you see it as evidence of there being no conspiracy, but I see it as exactly the opposite. Maybe everyone complaining about the same problem means the problem is real?

      Bingo. Easiest mainstream evidence is treatment of candidates in debates — which, reminder, are operated entirely by...basically whoever in academia or media.

    Sanders and Yang, Tulsi were erased from polls in order to erase them as an option for many Americans, meanwhile meanwhile Warren stayed on the election to take the progessive vote from Sanders, there is quite a big difference, and I say this as a right wing perso. It is just not about air in the room or anything like that, it is about deliberately erasing candidates and that is something that was done to Ron Paul Sanders and Yang, Tulsi simply because those in the business of control, war and fear are very close friends with those in the business of manufacturing consent period.

Am i missing something? How does the video demonstrate "blacklisting"? It looks like the feed cut out.
