I have a lot of respect for Judge Napolitano. First they wiped out all of Lee Camp's Redacted Tonight (and all of the other great RT programming) from YouTube, and then they started de-monitizing lots of other channels. And now this... Could there be a pattern? (*sarcasm*) Sigh.

Keep resisting and keep spreading the information any way you can!

I was watching his series the day on YouTube when the final interview didn’t appear. The next day no new interviews. I knew something was wrong and viewers became worried. After the Ritter event people assumed the same was happening to the Judge. Crazy times. Scary times.

Hi Mark, after being perplexed that the remaining advertised videos from Wednesday did not appear on Judge Napolitano’s yt channel, I saw today that not a single new video had been published since the Aaron Maté one. It was then that I realised his channel must be the subject of one of yt’s fascist “strike” punishments. After a little bit of fruitless research, I went to Larry Johnson’s blog, and there I found a one-sentence note saying that the Judge’s yt channel had been banned for a week. I assume this means that they cannot post new videos or do live streaming for seven days. After searching on Rumble, I found the Judge’s current channel, which is called “JudgingFreedom”. All of the subsequent videos missing from yt are there. Since the first video posted after the one with Aaron was with Douglas MacGregor, I assumed that this must have been the offending video. However, to my surprise, I found this video posted on MacGregor’s own yt channel. No takedown! So I suppose it can’t have been the one that triggered the strike. And I still haven’t seen any announcement yet by Napolitano himself about what happened.

Thanks, Stephen, for all that information!

Did you see Sheril's comment above: "Got blocked from X this morning for viewing Judge’s message that he would have an announcement this morning regarding what happened."

Censorship is ubiquitous. I use Rumble, where you will find the Judge, plus many patriots. By being free of censorship Rumble allows voices that you may choose to ignore.

Agreed. I did check Rumble last night but didn't see anything from yesterday (8/15).

What? Elon's the free speech guy. I guess providing a platform about immoral wars upsets his entitlement to govt. contracts. Thanks for the update. I'm not on X/Twitheads, what are others seeing who are on X?

FYI, Judge Napolitano had a good column posted Friday (8/16) on how the "Patriot' Act tore huge holes in our rights to privacy and contributed to the kind of legal action the FBI and at least one other unknown federal agency have taken against Scott Ritter. This has direct implications for all citizens.

You can listen to a reading of the column:

"Does the FBI Visit, or Invade, a Suspect's Home?" .... https://www.newsmax.com/judgeandrewpnapolitano/fbi-constitition-fisa-courts/2024/08/16/id/1176816/

Your first paragraph says it all. Just like nonviolent protest is getting criminalized. Sigh 😔

Thanks, I'll check it. Did he say anything about what happened on YouTube?

Nope, not a peep, anywhere. Not even on his Newsmax page who's published an opinion by him dated today. https://www.newsmax.com/judgeandrewpnapolitano/fbi-constitition-fisa-courts/2024/08/16/id/1176816/

Judging Freedom is absolutely essential every single day and I’d encourage everyone to check out the website or catch up on your podcast app.

"Dialogue Works" is a very good channel with similar guests. Nima, the host, is a great interviewer who allows his guests to speak at length. He also has a prolific output of daily videos. I can't help but think he's going to be next...

The Judge is back on YouTube after the 7-day ban. You can see his interview with Col. McGregregor with a short comment by him on the ban at the end of the video. He is nicer to YouTube than I would be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAvls_UAdlg

You can? Including August 15 segments? Check again today. I was alerted yesterday to the issue by a friend who watches Judging Freedom daily and could not find anything on YT.

Check the other note regarding the X note and how she got blocked for clicking it.

It's likely that there's some other things leading to getting blocked but clicking X -post is not one of them.

The last long interview is 5 days ago with MacGregor, but there's short ones - latest 2 days ago. His rumble looks to me like it's a repository of all videos but nothing newer than 2 months ago.

Okay there are several. This one has newest, but it's very rudimentary without even a profile picture and can't verify it's his. https://rumble.com/c/JudgingFreedom

This one is by far the one with largest follower crowd and looks most taken care of, but has a gap of two months from now to the latest:
