I just found out that my footage from December 12 at the second Million MAGA March was used during the impeachment, but misattributed to @Bilancieri.
This is the tweet that House Impeachment Managers apparently found:

The House Impeachment Managers credited @Bilancieri for my video, apparently because he put my clip into this tweet.

In any event, per my belief about the value of complete raw footage being available to people, here is my footage the full speech that the clip shown at the trial shows a portion of.

Unusual situation today following conservative rally I filmed in Olympia, WA: An armed man wearing a mask confronted other participants of being "fake Republicans" for filming people's faces, which he felt was an antifa tactic to dox people.

They believed he was an infiltrator.
"You're not a Republican" the armed man told Ted Cooke, a two-time GOP state rep nominee.

Cooke retorted that the event called for people not wearing camo and looking "militant."

The two later shook hands and agreed they both mistook eachother for "false flags."
The situation was quite unusual, and is contained in full in the two tweets above, but you can watch it (or share it!) altogether in the full video on @N2Sreports Youtube.

As always, all video available to license.

Conservatives led by activist Glen Morgan held a civil disobedience protest against newly imposed event restrictions at the state capitol building in Olympia, Washington on Saturday.

Morgan says he had to "commit an act of free speech" after others were threatened with arrest.
Morgan explained that the rally would be a perfect case if they had been arrested, given that they exercised every first amendment right.

Apparently though, yesterday they were told by gov't that the rules would be suspended ahead of their event, and for all other events.
Prominent Republican anti-tax activist @eymantim complimented Glen Morgan for the "provocative" framing of the event as "committing an act of free speech" and preparation of attorneys in case they had indeed been arrested.

After some back-and-forth with @TeamYouTube about my documentary footage of the crowd at Trump's J6 speech, the platform says they have had "thoughtful deliberation" and will keep the video down, but gave guidance on what they say will cause the video to stay up. Image
While I dislike injecting myself into my raw footage, I believe access to it is critical ahead of this impeachment trial.

I will accordingly be re-uploading the video with the following introduction, which is unprecedented in my work:
While I dislike having to inject any sort of commentary, this is historic as America is about to watch the first presidential impeachment in which the alleged high crime or misdemeanor was caught on tape.

This move appears to be necessary to keep the critical video online.

Thank you @TeamYouTube for remonetizing my channel!

It is funny how it notifies me as if I'm new.

This is a step.

Could you a) Restore my historical footage of January 6?

b) Review other video takedowns and demonetizations, such as @StatusCoup, @theconvocouch, and more?
I am grateful to advocates like @mtaibbi who clearly got the attention of YouTube fast, my supportive Twitter following and the journalists at Fox and Forbes who wrote about this.

Clearly, YouTube (partially, for now) responded under pressure.
But this is the issue: Most independent content creators don't have a following or the attention of the media that I do.

And those content creators deserve their moderation decisions to be reviewed by accountable humans as well.

I will continue speaking up for them.

Thank you @JosephWulfsohn / @FoxNews for writing about @TeamYouTube's erroneous deletion of my historical footage from Jan 6, as well as the demonetization of my entire account.

foxnews.com/media/youtube-…
"YouTube used to be for independent content creators primarily, right? It used to be about democratizing, everybody has a voice. Like, that was the idea of YouTube. That's what I love about YouTube. That's why I like it still, at least for that principle," Fischer tells Fox News.
"But I think that the fact that major news outlets can live stream the same things that I filmed and mine gets deleted and theirs gets ads put on it -- well, I think it indicates to me ... YouTube is serving corporations rather than small businesses and individual users."

THREAD: I managed to get on the phone just now with "boogaloo boy" Mike Dunn, who was apparently arrested last night according to a tweet on his account shortly before it went down.

For context: I've covered Mike's activism a lot and he is a subject of a documentary on the way.
Dunn told me by phone that he had been doing firearms training with a man in Maine who he realized in the process was a "Nazi" under the influence of drugs.

Dunn says their disagreements boiled over when he realized this person could be dangerous and wanted by authorities.
He describes fearing that this person would "violate the non-aggression principle against innocents" (a libertarian principle against initiating violence), taking his guns away, and driving to a police station with them to turn himself and the weapons in.
