A county board of commissioners in North Carolina is pushing back against tech giant Google after YouTube, owned by Google, deleted one of the board’s videos for allegedly violating YouTubes terms and conditions regarding medical misinformation.

After its June 16 meeting, the Henderson County Board of Commissioners video upload on YouTube was taken down, prompting commissioners to call an emergency meeting on Friday, June 18.

During the emergency meeting, the board directed staff to seek out other platforms on which the board’s meetings can be posted, as well as to find alternatives to Google products.

According to a spokesperson for YouTube: “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we established clear policies to prevent the spread of misinformation that could lead to real-world harm. While we welcome open debate and discussion about the COVID-19 vaccines on our platform, we don’t allow content that includes claims the vaccines have killed thousands of people, and as such we removed a video from the Henderson County Board of Commissioners’ channel.”

Here is the problem. Nobody said youtube had the authority to say what is fact and what isn’t. They aren’t the arbiters of fact. The riots across America last year were “peaceful” according to the msm. They weren’t peaceful. At all. But since this is a “fact” that youtube agrees with, it’s OK. We are 2 countries right now. The problem is the left has the Whitehouse, congress and senate with Harris. They have DC, the Navy, Army, the joint chiefs of staff, pentagon, fbi, cia, doj, nsa, DIA and so on and so forth. And they have all media. They know it. They can taste the blood and they call the shots. And, they know what they are telling us is bullshit. They just don’t care.

Our forefathers fought the biggest and best equipped Army on the face of the earth.And they didn’t have Cell phones,the internet,Ar-15, or no patriot web site,what they did have was Courage,Honor,pride and a strong desire to do the will of God. They didn’t waste time posting worthless articles and comment, you can read a book on how to fly a airplane all day and you still won’t be able to fly one. The simple meaning of this is, IF we are going to resist this Evil, posting and reading WON’T get it done.

Just reading the book “Revolutionary Leadership” by Pat Williams. Why did our forefathers have leadership skills and we don’t? I believe we subtracted out Biblical Principles.
