In a frightening example of how the state is tightening its grip around the free Internet, it has emerged that You Tube is complying with thousands of requests from governments to censor and remove videos that show protests and other examples of citizens simply asserting their rights, while also deleting search terms by government mandate.

The latest example is You Tube's compliance with a request from the British government to censor footage of the British Constitution Group's Lawful Rebellion protest, during which they attempted to civilly arrest Judge Michael Peake at Birkenhead county court.

Peake was ruling on a case involving Roger Hayes, former member of UKIP, who has refused to pay council tax, both as a protest against the government's treasonous activities in sacrificing Britain to globalist interests and as a result of Hayes clearly proving that council tax is illegal.

Hayes has embarked on an effort to legally prove that the enforced collection of council tax by government is unlawful because no contract has been agreed between the individual and the state. His argument is based on the sound legal principle that just like the council, Hayes can represent himself as a third party in court and that "Roger Hayes" is a corporation and must be treated as one in the eyes of the law.

The British government doesn't want this kind of information going viral in the public domain because it is scared stiff of a repeat of the infamous poll tax riots of 1990, a massive tax revolt in the UK that forced the Thatcher government to scrap the poll tax altogether because of mass civil disobedience and refusal to pay.

When viewers in the UK attempt to watch videos of the protest, they are met with the message, "This content is not available in your country due to a government removal request."

We then click through to learn that, "YouTube occasionally receives requests from governments around the world to remove content from our site, and as a result, YouTube may block specific content in order to comply with local laws in certain countries."

You can also search by country to discover that Google, the owner of You Tube, has complied with the majority of requests from governments, particularly in the United States and the UK, not only to remove You Tube videos, but also specific web search terms and thousands of "data requests," meaning demands for information that would reveal the true identity of a You Tube user. Google claims that the information sent to governments is "needed for legitimate criminal investigations," but whether these "data requests" have been backed up by warrants is not divulged by the company.

"Between July 1 and Dec. 31 (2009), Google received 3,580 requests for user data from U.S. government agencies, slightly less than the 3,663 originating from Brazil," reports PC World. "The United Kingdom and India sent more than 1,000 requests each, and smaller numbers originated from various other countries."

Britain appears to be hell-bent on implementing Orwells 1984.

the government does not have jurisdiction over the internet,so they can't take their fascist ideas and shove it where the sun don't shine.

The collapse of society is coming in the near future,the people will revolt against the New World Order's modern day fascism !!!

I agree with Mr. Alex Jones on this topic, also I have recently had two of my videos being removed.

[MrDdastardly]

Every time you show things like"New Obama birth certificate a fraud" It just discredits all of the important information you have.I wanted to know about the government censorship of You Tube so I could post it on a"liberal" web site but your all over the map and as soon as "the birth certificate" shows up,the rest is just shunned and turned off.Find a more reasonable cause to protest about Obama I'm sur you will find many liberals who agree with you.

I didn't call you any names, did I? I didn't call anyone a "POSER", or a "FUCKING LOSER". I'm simply replying to a comment made on a youtube video. People on youtube do that all the time, I can assure you.

If you're still unable to locate the CapsLock key on your keyboard, it's between the left Shift key and the Tab key.

Again, feel free to ignore my words, continue on your senseless spree of insults. Feel like you've won. Convice yourself that it matters. Go for it.

[Snakeeater436]

@FightTheElite"no better way to spend that time than by harassing and insulting others. "

. AND YET YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CONTACTED ME, FUCKING LOSER.

[FightTheElite]

@Snakeeater436

Why don't you come over here and make me?

Oh wait, you can't... you can only type with your CapsLock on and call me names. Maybe that works on some people, but it doesn't work on me.

It doesn't even make me angry or annoyed... only slightly sad that there are people who, given the limited time they have on this planet in their current physical forms, can think of no better way to spend that time than by harassing and insulting others. Fortunately, I am not like you.

[Snakeeater436]

@FightTheElite NO ONE WAS TALKING TO YOU POSER, SO FUCK OFF.

@Snakeeater436

"UNEDUCATED ASSHOLES LIKE YOU."

Ah yes, ad hominem attacks and namecalling... sure signs that you're dealing with an educated man or woman (or person, if that is what you prefer to be called).

Now, I usually try not to feel the trolls. Also, I actually have things to do, much better things in fact than arguing with you. Still, I thought I'd drop by and burst your bubble: you convince no one by calling people 'assholes', nor is anyone impressed with your capital letters.

[Snakeeater436]

@chop98 I HAVE ALL OF THE FACTS, WHICH IS WHY IT WILL BE THAT MUCH MORE FUN EXPOSING YOUR LIES. ONCE AGAIN THE UCC IS FOR REGULATING INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH UNEDUCATED ASSHOLES LIKE YOU.
