Liberal Party Activists Censoring YouTube Videos Critical of Stephane Dion
March 30, 2007 · By Greg Farries
It appears that YouTube user “liberalvideo” has been filing Copyright Infringement Notifications against videos that are critical of Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion. Two popular YouTube videos, one critical of Dion’s refusal to renounce his French citizenship, and the other, critical of the Liberals misuse of confidential materials, have been yanked from YouTube’s database.
If you attempt to look for these videos you’re met with the following:
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by liberalvideo
It is unclear whether this is an isolated incident or whether this is a new tactic being employed to quell any unfavorable coverage of the Liberal party leader and or the Liberal Party.
Update: Stephen Taylor has got a copy of the video on his site. Go watch the video and see if you can see any copyright infringement.
Update 2: The “misuse of confidential materials” video has been uploaded to YouTube again, lets see how long it stays up…

Liberal Activists Using DMCA to Censor Conservative YouTube Videos

Mark Frauenfelder: According to Brian Flemming of slumdance.com, Uri Geller, who claims to be psychic, has been using the DMCA to force YouTube to remove videos that debunk his stunts (which include bending spoons and locating hidden … Liberal Party Activists Censoring YouTube Videos Critical of … It appears that YouTube user ?liberalvideo? has been filing Copyright Infringement Notifications against videos that are critical of Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion.

In my opinion the accusation of copyright infringement is a bit disingenuous, as anyone who actually watched the videos would agree, the footage contained was likely well within the ‘fair dealing’ parameters of Canadian copyright law.
I hope that “liberalvideo” does indeed have a copyright on the footage, because you cannot claim copyright for others.
As well perhaps whomever made those now banned videos can now find out just who this Liberalvideo really is. Inquiring minds want to know.

If that’s the game they want to play, there’s nothing that can’t stop Tories from doing it right back to every single video posted by the libloggers.
So the story here isn’t that Conservatives broke the law?
Liberals claim a copyright to stupidity? Does that include corruption and malfeasance too? And pathetic leadership? I didn’t think those things could be copyrighted, even by the Liberal Party of Montreal?
Isn’t “liberalvideo” Jason Cherniak?

It wouldn’t surprise me if it was Cherniak. Such a mouthy gutless asshole.
Given that most, if not all of the YouTube viedeo posted “liberalvideo†are clips from the news or CPAC, its rather interesting that they are filing “Copyright Infringement Notifications”.
I guess only some public events can be posted on YouTube in this person’s mind.

man, if the CDN DMCA goes through with the stipulations it sounds like it has now…watch out! The take down notices will have a lot more weight behind them and will be acted on first (i mean on total sites, like this one or my own) its bad news, we’ve seen censorship abused like that down South when the DMCA came about down there, it’ll be just as bad or worse up here. I don’t hink anyone has connected the two here yet.
I could easily contact your ISP and give the impression you have violated copyright somewhere and BAM down goes your site until you prove otherwise. That’ll work both ways.
I agree with Jugger.
People need to have the right to share opinions. And if we don’t want our creative opinion suppressed, we need to get up and make a call or write a letter to you local MP, radio station, news paper.
Back later, because I have something more important to do. Write a letter.
Will Our Chidren Have A Future?

I would please ask for a few minutes of your time, please as I beleive that if the facts within this article are as true as the paper they had been written on maybe it will clear up a misunderstanding of the perseptions you may have of individuals or groups who tou beleive have caused you harm when in reality they have not and it is beleived they have gotten a bad wrap as a result of falsehoods being spread on their behalf. This is a very urgent situation in that the taxation base and the natural resources of your various countries are and have been continuously and unjustly being erroded.
These allegations that i make are based on the fact that in 1904 it is beleived that Russia and the Hudsons Bay Company had reached an agrement whereby monies were investedin various businesses and commodities. It had been during this period on July of 1905 my Gido(Grandfather)who was a resident of Austria(he would not become a resident of Canada until 1933 ) had incorporated a business for the purpose of aquiring foreign ownership of land and which had als offered financing to individuals and companies to help them obtain mortgage funding. I beleive that there were a large group of investors as the company had been called within other lands and at this time. However it would appear that as though the Governmental official of the Domminion of Canada who were of the Liberal and Social Democratic coalition had what is beleived to have secretly with held foreign funds from the Monarch who I beleive had been King Edward IV. and as a result had misappropriated funds for their own purposes.It is not known if all members were privy to the transaction, however the documents were to have been registered with the North West Terrirories which I beleive they had not been. The basis of my beleif comes from the fact that Lord Strathcona or (Mr. Smith) had been resposible as part of the privy coucil for the Domminion of Canada to have notorised such documents howerver there had been a fraudulent misrepresentation which I beleive had been knowingly entered on to the land document by this Minister in which a rural township called Star had been recorded as having been geographically located within a Province called Alberta. This entry had been wrong as my Grandfather had registered the document in July of 1905 and Alberta had not entered Confederation until September of 1905. It is further beleived that an individual by the name of Lord Johnson had been the First Lord of the Treasury at this time and it is reasonable to have belived that he had helped with the misappropriation of funds of the Monarch of the Domminion of Canada. It is futher beleived that as these positions within the Sovereigns Court were peerage positions which to my beleif are heriditary positions passed down from one generation to the other as a right of birth as a result it is beleived that never have these indiviuals or their agents or affiliated relations ever had to pay tax to their countries. During this time the Lord Strathcona and his Governmental officials within the whole of the Liberal and Social Democratic Parties across the world may have illegally obtained and continue to obtain funds from the various treasuries of the world purpoting to own a corporation and passing of the name as their own.In fact it appears that Lord Strathcona had contributed monies to the Burmah Oil Company at thisa time and even became President in 1909 thereby depriving the shareholders, the Sovereign of their montatary compensation which was beleived to have legaly gone to Standard Oil of Ohio, New Yory and New Jersey. The lands within the Province of what ids now Alberta have been expropriating the natural resources (oil, gas, utility fees for transmission of electricity to name a few without paying any tarrifs)by these indivisuals and their affiliates and never has a penny gone to the shareholders of Austrian-Hungarian Empire which was beleived to have included Russia,the North West Teritories, which had incuded the various municipal districts such as Edmonton or the rural township of Star. Tehran or the oil comapnies or trading companies were not ware that they were all signing and continue to sign with a group of individuals who are making a mockery of their good faith as the contracts had been based on and continue to be based on lies and all on the backs of the hard working honest people of the country who go hungry tonight.These people did not stop there my Gido and the various shareholders had with good will invested in parcels of land between 1905-1922 all these titles were again frauduently registered under the name of the Province of Alberta which were to have been registered as a Federally incorporated company of the North West Territories. In fact it is registered on title that a Mr. Campbell may have been involved in the sale of Canadian National Railway Land in which my Gido had purchased 3 parcels of land he nor the shareholders received any compensation as the titles were frauduently registered aS AN aLBERTA LAND TITLE WHEN mR. cAMPBELL KNEW THAT THE LAND HAD BELONGED TO THE sOVEREIGN AND ALL SHARES TO THIS DAY ARE BELEIVED TO HAD BEEN OBTAINED ON A CONSTANT BASIS BY Mr. Campbell and his decendants.Alberta did not aquire mineral rights to these lands untill 1930 and as a result of the fraudulent registrations by the Sovereigns staff monies from the natural resources never made it to Alberta or the North West Territories, but it is beleived to have made it to the pockets of the individuals who were relations of the previous individuals of the government and of the coalition. So, please do not look at Alberta, Canada as a wealthy Province as there are only the select few individuals who continue to misappropriate ours and your wealth under what i beleive are completely false pretences as the titles are frauduently recorded within the Alberta Land titles. Mr. Stelmach who is our Premier of Alberta Government is now being falsley accused for the crimes of the past that continue today by the different affiliations of government he is and always has bee an honest man as were the Conservatives before him. Mr. Harper is also beleived to be a good man however it is beleived he is being also extorted by the few individuals within his ranks also so please do not judge him as he has been honest with circumstances out of his control.President Obama is a good President even if he is of the Party but tou must keep an open mind as it is beleived due to the fact that he is a coloured man he can still be manipulated without knowing the true facts this is the continuing effects of racism of the few who beleive they are better by their skin color, please also forgive him because being used like I truly beleive he is is never kind as he is trying to change the welfare of Americans but cannot as the few individuals who rob the treasuries behind his back do not tell him the real truth.
I truly apologise for not explaining this earlier of this horrible deception as my Father lost his life trying to protect me left to be held under armed guard (God Bless him) and I would not have knnown at all except the kind Judiciary within the Courthouse here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and a few lawyers had lent me their guidance so that I became aware that the Alberta Justice Minister Mr. Stevens and Ms. Redford and the Alberta Public Trustee Mr. Froelich and a Canadian Public Servant in the rank of Master Corporal had forged documents to sell off my Families homestead and two other farms in which they are beleived to have used the benefits for their own purposes.The basis for this assertion is that it is beleived in 1905 J.P. Stevens and company had been a surveyor for the Domminion land Company of Canada in the North West Territories, Ted Stevens was beleived to have been Alaska Governor and Judicial officer for the NorthWest Territories and it is beleived his decendants in which I beleive Mr. Stevens is one would be privy to the original illegal misappropriation and its continuance of the misappropriation of the lands in which he had fraudulently sold without Canadian Federal Legislative Consent on January 2008 to Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood who are beleived to be related to Mr. Stevens. It is beleived that Mr. Stevens had forced the Judiciary to sell all the lands and had threatened their jobs if they had not complied the reason I beleive this is the Courts have been kind to me in my attempt to find these truths and are not to blame for such intimidations to their wellfare by the justice minister.Thank you for all your help Judges and thoes few lawyers who have helped me.
Now there are malicious rumours being spread by the Alberta Alliance and the Wildrose Party they are beleived to be affiliated with the New Democratic Liberals of 1905. Their leader is a Mrs. Daneille Smith it is beleived that Mrs. Smith is a decendant of the peerage of her ancestor Lord Strathcona and as such a position is heriditary it is beleived that her and her familiar relations and associates are responsible for the misappropriation of Alberta tax base futher by criminal activity and knowledge which it is beleived she is privy to.
Mrs. Dannielle Smith has just been nominated to the Wildrose and Alliance party as their leader I am asking that you not vote for her,as it is beleived by record in history that her party have not shown caring or responsibility for the future and the consequences of their actions on future generations
Partisan activities,rants and their form of politics in which they portray their arrogance is just too hard too swallow anymore.
It appears as though Mrs. Smiths parties agenda seems to be controlled by a religious right and corporate interest all at the expense of our childrens education and health care systems.
Their version of democracy does not allow private citizens you the option as to how you choose to engage in the democratic process and deprive each individual to participate in polictical disclosures.
The Conservative party has always strived for respectful discussin, dialouge, debate and consensus.
The veiwing public may preceive that the parties main web site is exrodinarilly better than ‘ Ask Ed ” (Alberta Conservative Premier Government Blog)however it would appear that there are not “any form of debate” of different opinions of the parties issues or platform. Could this be preceived as these individuals superiority asit appears that getting down in the mud with the rest of us is not their cup of tea. This complete lack of respect of others opinions diminishes freedom of speach and diminishes the credibility as you would have to ask yourself what is their true intention of their actions? Question, do you really want a party to run the country who does not want to confront the questions or would you rather have someone who rolls with the punches in good humor? Personally, I am on the side of a group of individuals Conservatives who can keep an open mind and just agree to disagree or when push comes to shove will stand up for their constituents now matter what may be. This party has continously shown that they are commited to the public in which they serve and they do not put on airs when they speak to you as if you are morally above you, by using words that only an individual who is anal retentive would use or maybe they just need a good enema.Personally, I can be rather unpleasant individual when Im that blocked up as i am sure everyone else can agree. Forgive me for being so vulgar but what else could make people act this way?
It is beleived that there is no true cohesion within their party and the following by their members would more or less equate to slavery as using cohersive measures is not a sign of freindship or is it a sign of a healthy political orginisation.
It is rather a sad state of affairs when every day in the newspapers and blogs that it would seems that individuals who support your party continuosy mirror your parties ideology in a negative light to the local and international community.It would appear that each of your affiliations even how well classed might not have caught up with evolution yet as the majority of comments within the media are generally only based to mudslinging by the way of foul language and does not appear to relate to the betterment of the communities or global inrests at all. Is this the image of democratic speach your party wishes the public to beleive is your own personal code of conduct? Don’t get me wrong I am not here to preach as I am not morally perfect and have been told that I shouls watch my own words. However,I am not the one who has been nominated to represent the public in a proffesional capacity.Truly, is this professional etiquitte of your party and your constituents? Such behaviour may be preceived as a membership of individuals who are incoprehensibly incompatable with rational thought.
It is my true beleif that many members of the Alliance and Wildrose Democrats who are really Conservatives and do not know it. If they really looked at their own philosphies they would realise they may belong within the–parties member ship were there is no hidden aggendas and all are welcome to voice their concerns without fear of exclusion. The record shows that the party has constantly strived for a society of equal opputrunity for all alike and has always honoured a different way of thinking, that is caring, curious, inclusive and diverse and is aware of and honour the past contributions of our forefathers.
As for the other party they can stay hidden and cowardly to the issues that affect us all if you choose but don’t expect respect or credibility as a result. For me I will always be honored to be in the presence or be associated “squarely” within the Old Boys Club as it would occur to me that their actions have always speak louder than words and is the best adage to live by and not the alternative of the Wildrose Alliance which is speak more and faster before the brain can act.
All I would like to say in closing is thank-you for your patoence and time to consider this mess of a blog as I am not a very good writer as you can see. Please send the Wilrose-Alliance and the parties which would sacrifice your futures for their own well being a message. As in the words of my Father. “It is not SORRY anymore!

They’re not EVEN the “Liberal” party. None of Canada’s parties is what it claims to be, they are all involved in the annexation of Canada to the USA and Mexico to form a North American Union. They ALL support the phony secession of Quebec, which is and always has been a scam to impose the European Union system on Canada instead of Confederation. The EU system is being spread to all the continents, each one under a continental parliament. Most recently, UNASUR (South American Union). Once the same system is in place, the continents themselves will be merged under a single world government. The secession of Quebec was a scam to dissolve Canada for North American Union, on the way to world government. The voting ballots in 1980 and 1995 were clear: they both requested a MANDATE to NEGOTIATE a treaty of association (1980) or partnership (same thing, 1995) of Quebec with rest of Canada, failing which, quebec would ‘secede’.
