Fixing audio from previous post.
Video link:(2) Uncovering the Colossal Censorship Hack from Russia - #RussianCensorFiles Part 1 - YouTube
Episode one of three. This episode will introduce audiences to both the Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Distributed Denial of Secrets Collective. These groups participated in and store one of the largest hacks/leaks of Russian government data regarding censorship. These groups have been called the successor to Wikileaks yet very little has been reported on them in the West. This is especially true for anti-imperialist, anti-censorship and "anti-war" groups on the internet. This episode also covers reporting that has occurred mostly from eastern European outlets. Topics in the leak to be censored range from anti-war protests to the use of artificial intelligence and ocular technology for automating censorship.

S1 Ep25: Rightwing Conspiracies: From the Bible to Jan 6.
Please consider watching and subscribing on YouTube: Origins for Contemporary Right Conspiracies. - YouTube This helps promote the DIY project. My content is controversial and doesn't always pass Google ads. No ads and no patreon. Also consider the website for articles, research tools, a link library and blog: Youtube | The Right Podcast See the YouTube video Description for citations and links.
This video delves into the origins of modern rightwing conspiracy by examining the historical foundations for which they are based upon. I make the argument that conspiracy has long since merged with social, paramilitary and political manifestations on the right. The root of this world view is found within antisemitism. The Christian Identity movement is vital for understanding messages of "small government" and "low taxes" as key players "specifically William Potter Gale" leveraged historical antisemitic conspiracy in creating new organizations from the 1950's-1980's. In that period of time anti-communism, desegregation and tax protest were merged with conspiracies that had previously been relegated to small Christian Identity congregations. I argue that it is from this era "Specifically 1950's-1970's" modern MAGA style Republicans draw from. This video bridges the gap between the proto-militias and political organizations from that time period to the Patriot and Militia movements of the 1990's. These movements later influenced a revival of militias and populism from the right in the form of the Tea Party movement and creation of the Oath Keepers. This political legitimizing of extremism made MAGA and ultimately Jan. 6th possible. The conspiracies that were initially developed from individuals such as Bill Gale have become populist, mainstream language for the right and certain aspects of the internet left (Dirt bag left, anti-imperialists)
I'm not interested in profiting from this. The best way you can help me is to spread the word. It's cliche but accurate.
