YouTube Shadow-Banning Videos that don't conform to 'The Narrative' | Exhibit A - "Black American Patriots react: NFL announces 'Black National Anthem'"
Kari Lake got static for not standing during the pregame performance of "The Black National Anthem" during last Sunday's Super Bowl. The whole point of a national anthem is it's the NATION'S ANTHEM
Republican Kari Lake rose to national prominence in 2022 during her campaign to be the next governor of Arizona, bolstered by several memorable appearances on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the #1 most-watched show on cable news.
Last Sunday’s Super Bowl in Arizona was the first time the NFL announced they would be televising a live performance of the ‘Black National Anthem’ during the pregame festivities.
The song, ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ performed by Sheryl Lee Ralph, was adopted by the NAACP in 1917, and has since been known as a ‘black national anthem’.
Kari Lake got a ton of heat on Twitter from leftist social justice warriors for staying seated during the performance.
Kari Lake responded to her critics with this brilliant retort:
These leftist social justice warriors claim to be all about diversity, equity and inclusion.
But I haven’t heard a peep from any SJW’s about the dominance of black and white athletes in the NFL.
I didn’t see a single Asian or Latino player, coach or referee during this year’s Super Bowl. Or last year’s Super Bowl. Or any Super Bowl in the past 30 years that didn’t include former Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver Hines Ward (whose mother is Korean).
There are WAY more Latinos in the United States than Black people. There are more Asians than Black people.
Seems like these SJW’s are elevating one race above the rest, while conveniently ignoring the total lack of Hispanic and Asian ‘representation’ (their word, not mine) in pro football.
Isn’t there a word for that?
During the intense post-George Floyd virtue-signaling battle to see which American corporation could claim the title of “Wokest company in the World”, the NFL announced that the “black national anthem” would be performed before the actual American national anthem during every Week One game in 2020.
When I heard this news in July 2020 (back when I cared about the NFL), I felt the same way Kari Lake did at the Super Bowl.
Wasn’t America supposed to be the “world’s melting pot”?
No other nation on Earth is stupid enough to have two different national anthems for different races.
Countries with more than one official language often translate their anthems into multiple versions.
For example, ‘O Canada’ has two versions in English and French.
But no country on Earth has separate national anthems for different races, ethnicities or religions.
That would defeat the whole purpose of a national anthem.
National anthem (noun) - a patriotic musical composition symbolizing and evoking eulogies of the history and traditions of a country or nation.
Imagine if a black athlete from the USA wins a medal in the next Olympics.
Will the Olympics play ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ during the medal ceremony?
Or will they play the “Black National Anthem” because of the medalist’s skin color?
How racist does scenario #2 sound to you?
Imagine if Hitler cued up the “black national anthem” instead of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin every time Jesse Owens was on the medal stand after capturing gold medals in the long jump, the 100- and 200-meter dashes, and the 4 x 100-meter relay?
Americans would be outraged at Hitler for fomenting racial division.
After the NFL made the announcement back in July 2020, many prominent patriotic Black Americans posted videos denouncing this awful idea and expressing their incredulity at the NFL’s decision to further push racial division.
As The Hodge Twins brilliantly noted:
“I don’t even think they have a ‘Black National Anthem’ in Africa.”
So Teddy gathered up the best reactions from Black American patriots, edited and spliced the best clips together, and uploaded this 15 minute video to YouTube:
Look at all the charismatic, patriotic Black conservatives who appeared in this video :

And during the first 48 hours the video was on YouTube, the number of views and hours watched kept climbing up and up.
Then suddenly, the views just dropped off a cliff.
It was like YouTube turned off the spigot.
I remarked to a few friends back then, “it seems like YouTube is shadow-banning this video. How could it get that many views during the first 48 hours, then totally drop off a cliff?”
This was considered a “conspiracy theory” in 2020 - back before we learned how deeply embedded the Deep State was inside the halls of Silicon Valley behemoths like Twitter, Facebook and Google (which owns YouTube).
I figured this video would certainly see a little bump in activity last Sunday, with all the uproar over Kari Lake sitting during the “black national anthem”.
Nope.
Google and YouTube despise conservatives.
And the Left really, really cannot stand Black conservatives.
How dare they not vote Democrat!
This guy looks pretty white to me.
Brian Krassenstein thinks he’s the arbiter of Facts and Truth.
But a quick scan of his Twitter timeline reveals he’s a quadruple vaxxed Limousine Liberal who is too arrogant and narcissistic to realize he’s dumber than Biden.
“This is why paying teachers more is so important!”
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.
Teddy doesn’t consider himself a traditional conservative.
I’m more like a based hippie who wonders what the heck happened to classical liberal values, freedom of speech and our Constitutional rights.
This whole experience with the “Black American Patriots React to the NFL acting like Hitler” video soured me on YouTube.
So I started making 2 minute videos for Twitter.
Then Twitter suspended me seven different times for tweeting facts about Covid, Ivermectin, Paxlovid and the experimental gene therapy shots.
Culminating with a “permanent suspension” on July 30, 2022.
These Silicon Valley assholes really enjoy gaslighting you as they violate your First Amendment rights.
“In times of crisis, it is difficult to know what to do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.”
It’s not difficult at all. It’s crystal clear.
Go fuck yourself, Twitter.
My “permanent ban” from twitter ran for seven months. They finally reinstated my account last week (thanks Elon).
People are wondering why I haven’t jumped back on Twitter.
It’s because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.
Silicon Valley can’t stand people like me. They want me to shut up and stop posting about “controversial” topics. They want me to follow the science and stop “doing my own research”.
I will jump back on Twitter soon. Just to test the boundaries of free speech on Twitter 2.0 and see how much they’ve really changed.
And I’m definitely setting up a Rumble channel.
Currently working on several bombshell stories:
the unidentified flying objects hovering over North America
the Climate Hoax scam and Solar Geoengineering
the harmful effects of 5G radiation and electromagnetic waves on human health
I guarantee that Twitter will not like any of these “conspiracy theories” (aka spoiler alerts) about the UFO’s, geoengineering, the climate scam and 5G radiation.
We’ll see how much Twitter supports free speech when “Tin Foil Hat Teddy” returns this month and drops these conspiracy theories stunning spoiler alerts.
In the next 48 hours I will be dropping a podcast interview (recorded earlier today) with legendary Austin provocateur and hero Alex Strenger, who went viral around the world last week after dressing up like a clown at the Austin City Council meeting, announcing he was applying to be the new CEO of Austin Energy.
I’ve also formulated an incredibly strong hypothesis about who exactly is behind these mysterious flying objects, what they are doing up there, and who needs to get rounded up and thrown in prison.
Gonna wrap this post up, so I can get back to the bombshells. New podcast with Alex coming soon.
Stay positive, stay sane, and never forget our side has a monopoly on the two most powerful forces in the universe:
LOVE
TRUTH
I was banned from Twitter for unspecified reasons, but re-registered after Elon bought it, thinking it must be better now. Wrong.
I tweeted the fact "Trans is mental illness" and was banned with such inhuman speed that they seem to have woke AI policing it now. Twitter demands I give them my phone number and delete the offending fact to regain access to their censorship platform. Nope, not going to do that.
Elon failed. He's part of the problem now, not the solution.
Hey Patrick -- yes I’m hearing similar stories from other people who were reinstated, then sent a tweet with a “triggering keyword” like ‘trans’, and immediately got flagged and suspended within seconds. There’s no way Elon could have totally cleared house of all the far left radical Marxists within 3 months. At least 10 to 15% are pretending they are down with “hardcore” Twitter 2.0, so they can remain inside the walls and continue their nefarious censorship under the guise of being “heroes of #TheResistance”. I really think it’s despicable that Twitter forces you to either (a) delete the offending tweet (b) remain suspended. Those aren’t two options, it’s one -- don’t say “that thing” or you cannot be back on Twitter. Thanks for the comment and keep up the awesome work on your substack !!
