YouTube censors the secret history of Deep Underground Military Bases Interview

On June 13, 2024, I released an interview with Gene Decode (a pseudonym) about his knowledge of Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) acquired during and after his 20+ years of service as a senior NCO with the US Navy, where he served on five classes of nuclear submarines. In the June 13 interview, he discussed his naval career and key figures involved in revealing the truth about DUMBs.

On October 28, I received notification from YouTube that my interview with Gene Decode was removed for violating its terms and services. It said that the video was removed for “harassment and bullying.”

YouTube gave no specific information on who was the target of this harassment and bullying. I can only assume that public officials or organizations that were named in the interview as responsible for running the DUMBs and the many excesses happening there were deemed by YouTube to have been unfairly treated.

I immediately appealed YouTube’s decision, but the appeal was quickly rejected with no specifics on what was deemed “harassment and bullying”. Again, I can only make assumptions about what happened. Likely, an algorithm or AI was used to dismiss the appeal with no attempt by any human employee to explain the issues.

 Now the video is permanently removed and my Exopolitics Today channel once again has a Warning with threats of suspensions looming over it if Youtube deems future interviews unsuitable or retroactively goes through my library and arbitrarily identifies videos as violating its terms of service.

YouTube gave no specific information or timestamp of what was said in the video that constituted harassment and bullying. This has made it impossible for me to determine what the problem was.

This is yet another example of YouTube censorship and shows that even in cases where hosts of interviews with guests go to great lengths to self-censor ourselves to comply with YouTube terms of service, we are still subject to YouTube retroactively going into our video library and choosing and deleting videos without any detailed explanation of the problem other than vague claims of bullying and harassment. This is why YouTube is part of the global censorship problem, and alternative video platforms need to be used by the public to access uncensored videos.

Fortunately, my June 13 interview with Gene Decode is still available today on Rumble & Odysee and I am also making it available, as of today on my Patreon channel. If YouTube decides to impose strikes with its retroactive policies and suspends Exopoitics Today, you can always find my new content with no censorship or ads on my Patreon channel.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to presenting new interviews and ground breaking information on my various online censorship-free platforms.
