Apple rejected YouTube-competitor Odysee from the App Store because a video had pepe the frog as a thumbnail — and because Odysee refused to filter Covid videos out of search results

MediaTricks | March 23, 2023

The Apple censorship team once rejected the Odysee app from the Apple App Store because of videos containing images of Pepe the Frog. Apple made no such demands of Odysee’s competitor, Google’s YouTube.

Apple also demanded Covid-related terms be filtered out of Odysee search results.

Screenshot of a LBRY tweet, November 28th 2022: During Covid, Apple demanded our apps filter some search terms from being returned. If we did not filter the terms, our apps would not be allowed in the store.

Apple may make good products, but they have been opposed to free speech for some time. Apple disallowed almost anything related to Covid, especially vaccines or human origins of the virus. We had to build a list of over 20 terms to not show results for, only on Apple devices. Apple also later rejected us because users included Pepe images in videos.

The email Apple sent Odysee rejecting their app because of a user’s frog image:

Email from Apple App Store to LBRY about banning the LBRY app:

Regarding 1.1, we continue to find that your app or metadata includes content that some users may find upsetting, offensive, or otherwise objectionable. Specifically, Pepe the Frog. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to remove all potentially objectionable content from your app and metadata and submit your revised binary for review. We look forward to reviewing your resubmitted app. Best regards, App Store Review

These restrictionist media and surveillance firms like Apple and Google all work to protect each other, and to protect the corrupt establishment. They will do anything to prevent new competitors from expanding freedom of expression, outside of the control of the Big Tech oligarchs. They act exactly like a protectionist cartel; a criminal conspiracy.

Combined, Apple and Google control 98% of the mobile marketplace.

Researchers discover Google sends fewer ‘Go Vote’ reminders to conservatives than to liberals and centrists in swing states, secretly shifting millions of undecided votes leftward

MediaTricks | November 24, 2022

See more posts from this researcher: Dr Robert Epstein

The researcher is a Democrat, a Hillary voter, and he has had enough of Big Tech monopolies manipulating the results of elections.

Article screenshot from The Epoch Times: "How Google Stopped the Red Wave." Google and other tech companies want you obsessing about conspiracy theories so you won’t look at how they tampered with the 2022 midterm elections. By Robert Epstein.

Based on my team’s research, Google, and to a lesser extent, Facebook and other tech monopolies, not only took steps to shift millions of votes to Democrats in the midterms, but they are using their influence to spread rumors and conspiracy theories to make sure people look everywhere for explanations—except at them.

Google isn’t the only culprit, but since they’re the biggest, most aggressive, and most arrogant culprit, I’ll focus on them in this article. Over a period of months, Google nudged undecided voters toward voting blue by showing people politically biased content in their search engine, suppressing content they didn’t want people to see, recommending left-leaning videos on YouTube (pdf) (which Google owns), allegedly sending tens of millions of emails to people’s spam boxes, and sending go-vote reminders on their home page mainly to liberal and moderate voters.

I know Google did these things (and more!) because, in 2022, my team and I were doing to them exactly what they do to us and our kids 24/7: We were monitoring the politically related content that Google and other tech companies were showing to actual voters—our politically diverse panel of 2,742 “field agents,” who were located mainly in swing states.

In particular, we were tracking what Google employees call “ephemeral experiences”—content that appears briefly, affects people, and then disappears. In 2018, in emails that leaked from the company, Googlers were discussing how they might use ephemeral experiences to change people’s views about Trump’s travel ban. They know how powerful ephemeral experiences can be. That’s one of the most closely held secrets of Google’s management.

But we were capturing, aggregating, and analyzing the content that Google and other companies were sending to the computers of our field agents, so we could accurately estimate how many go-vote reminders Google was sending to liberals, moderates, and conservatives. In all, in the weeks leading up to the 2022 midterms, we preserved more than 2.5 million of those persuasive ephemeral experiences.
When we used similar methods to monitor content being sent by tech companies to voters before the 2020 presidential election, we found that Google was sending fewer go-vote reminders to conservatives than to moderates and liberals. Targeted messaging of this sort is a blatant manipulation that can, on Election Day in a national election in the United States, generate 450,000 extra votes for the favored candidate.

In 2020, we reported our findings to members of Congress, and on Nov. 5, 2020, three U.S. senators sent an intimidating letter (pdf) to the CEO of Google that summarized our data. As a result, Google turned off its manipulations. In the Georgia Senate runoffs that followed the presidential election, no one received a go-vote reminder from Google.

But we weren’t so lucky this time around. The article I published just before the election had no effect on Google, and this year, we couldn’t find a member of Congress to send a warning letter, although we came close.

As a result, Google search results remained politically biased on Election Day, and so did the up-next recommendations on YouTube. Google also sent out targeted go-vote reminders in most swing states.

Ex-Pussycat Dolls singer says band was prostitution ring, members were passed around, abused by industry executives — Says Hollywood journalists refused to run her story

MediaTricks | October 23, 2022

Tweet thread from Kaya Jones @kayajones, Ex-Pussycat Dolls singer:

"Please Hollywood start telling the truth! Expose the truth! It’s time for a NEW Hollywood. One where art is about original thought not sex"

"Fact- I know as many men as I do women who have been abused in the entertainment industry by Hollywood elites. We are numb to it. That’s wrong"

"I hope all you Hollywood elites are a little nervous tonight. Who knows maybe tomorrow your family & friends will find out who you really are"

"Tried to silence us, made us stronger. Tried to drug us, but we were wide awake. Tried to blacklist us, but fans followed. We arent kids anymore"

"The children you messed with that survived the abuse, we are adults now. Are you ready old ones to fight? Cause you all are looking mighty old."

"My truth. I wasn't in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring. Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $."

"How bad was it? people ask - bad enough that I walked away from my dreams, bandmates & a 13 million dollar record deal. We knew we were going to #1"

"I wonder if any other victims kept a journal like I did? Oh yes I kept a journal, with timelines ...."

"I told press in Hollywood about my abuse and they did nothing. I'm still dealing with Vegas. Talk about back to back. Vegas and Hollywood man."

"In 2004 I told hollywood executives, 2005-2006 I told press. In 2011 I spoke up again. Hope you can hear me now Media in 2017! Way to go"

"I love how predators enjoy playing the victim. Pathetic."

"I want the den mother from hell to confess why another 1 of her girl group girls committed suicide? Tell the public how you mentally broke us."

"To be apart of the team you must be a team player. Meaning sleep with whoever they say. If you dont they have nothing on you to leverage."

"Yes I said leverage. Meaning after they turn you out or get you hooked on drugs they use it against you. Correct. Victimizing the victim again"

"That’s why I have so much respect for our military. I’ve been through war. But my scars you can’t see. At least real war is honest."

"Why don’t we report it? Because we are all abused! I personally have been warned if I tell I will ... you know end up dead or no more career."

"Well ...killing you or killing your soul what’s the difference. You do it for them. A teenagers go to jail for less. Will Hollywood?"

"Lawyers are given and appointed to you. If you try to use a different one it’s a deal breaker. End of discussion. We were all replaceable."

"Robin & the record label made all the money. We as Pussycat Dolls were paid $500 a week. While we were being abused & used. Fact!"

"I finally feel the weight I've held in my heart lifted & mending. It's been hard to hold lies in for people who broke me. No more."

"I hope more women & men come out & share their abuse & pain. We must shine a light on this issue in the entertainment business."

"Abuse is abuse. Doesn’t matter if it’s mental, physical or emotional, music industry needs a cleansing."

"It’s best to not get defensive & attack when you’re guilty. Sorry your house of cards is done. Everyone will soon know the truth."

"It’s truly sad to see barely any of Hollywood speaking up on the mistreatment of artists. Only artists are speaking up! Not any executives?"

Fox News article screenshot: "Ex-Pussycat Dolls singer Kaya Jones claims band was 'prostitution ring,' members were 'passed around,' 'abused' by industry execs", by Sasha Savitsky.

Former Pussycat Dolls member Kaya Jones is claiming the all-girls group was a front for a "prostitution ring" and that the singers were "passed around" and "abused" by industry executives due to the actions of their founder Robin Antin.

In a series of tweets, Jones calls out the the band's "den mother from hell" without naming Antin. She slammed her for staying silent when "another 1 of her girl group girls committed suicide." Fans speculated Jones was referring to G.R.L.'s Simone Battle who killed herself at age 25 in 2014.

"I wasn't in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring. Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $," Jones tweeted.

"To be apart (sic) of the team you must be a team player. Meaning sleep with whoever they say," she claimed.

NPR: Another Cover-Up for the Biden Family’s Criminal Behavior

MediaTricks | March 27, 2022

NPR Public Editor: Why haven't you seen any stories from NPR about the NY Post's Hunter Biden story? We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just pure distractions. - Terence Samuels, NPR's Managing Editor for News on the NY Post Hunter Biden story

We have Hunter Biden on video saying Russian blackmailers stole his laptop, and NPR refuses to cover the subject because an election was looming. The media is not in the truth business. NPR is not a news organization. All you get is extremely controlled propaganda.

Media corporations refused to cover the story, social media sites banned you for sharing links about it, and it is now all admitted to be true. With such a gigantic cover-up, you’d think some people would be getting arrested..

A Media Manipulator reveals the scam of “sources”

MediaTricks | March 8, 2022

Book extract from "Trust Me I'm Lying" written by publicist Ryan Holiday:

"THE PROBLEM OF JOURNALISM, says Edward Jay Epstein in his book Between Fact and Fiction, is simple. Journalists are rarely in a position to establish the truth of an issue themselves, since they didn't witness it personally. They are "entirely dependent on self-interested 'sources"' to supply their facts. Every part of the news-making process is defined by this relationship; everything is colored by this reality. Who are these self-interested sources? Well, anyone selling a product, a message, or an agenda. People like me. When the New York Times publishes leaked documents there is an implicit understanding that they have at least attempted to verify their validity. The same goes for the identity of the source who gave it to them. Online, anonymous means something else entirely. Quotes and tips are drawn from unsolicited, untraced e-mails or angry comments pulled from comments sections, or sent in by people who have something to gain from it. I know, because I have been this kind of source dozens of times, and it was never for anything important. My identity is never verified. Today, the online-driven news cycle is going a million miles a minute in a million directions. The New York Times may still try to verify their sources, but it hardly matters, because no one else does. This creates endless opportunities for people like me to slip in and twist things to my liking. As Epstein said, the discrepancy between what actually happened and the version of what happened provided by sources is an enormous gray area. Of all such areas, it's where I have the most fun and direct influence."

The hunger for Blackrock investment cash is a big reason why corporations Go Woke

MediaTricks | February 21, 2022

Why Companies Have Become Woke infographic

Ever wondered why go woke get broke never succeeded? Why seemingly companies have been introducing toxic cultures and destroying their productivity and products? Was it to target the leftist consumers, that makes no sense as they are alienating a large portion of the market in favor for a small portion.

You would be correct. It doesn't make sense until you meet Larry Fink. Now you see Larry has been a very busy boy over the last decade or two and has created the largest Hedge fund in existence, BlackRock. Our story starts in 2007/08 during the housing bubble crash. The FED is freaking out not knowing how to manage the situation. It looks extremely likely the entire system will implode and they do not have the tools to stop it. Then came in Larry Fink. Larry boy here offered to help. He was running a $7 trillion dollar hedge fund and offered to help. They created the Maidan Lane vehicles where all of the defunct wall street giants assets will be placed and managed by the FED officially, but in reality it was Larry who the one who managed them.

Fast forward to the 2020 crash. The FED is panicking again because the corporate bond market was ready to collapse as investors no longer wanted the zombie corps debt. If this market went corporations would no longer be able to fund themselves expect for issuing more stock which would future devalue equities and created a death spiral. So who has come in to be savior once more, Larry Fink. The FED basically told larry to buy worthless bonds and they in turn will actively buy his ETF to subsidize him. This in turn means BlackRock is now having freshly printed US dollars buy his ETF. BlackRock now is effectively part of the financial system to the point where bloomberg even called them the "Fourth Branch of Government"

Now you maybe wondering what this has to with wokism as it just sounds like a rant about thing we already know. You see Larry Fink recently has become obsessed with something called ESG investing. ESG investing stands for environmental, social and corporate governance investing. In short Larry Fink's investment philosophy to reward companies that follow certain rules with investment dollars. This rules could be the CEO not taking a salary or how much diversity and inclusion there is and from there he throws his now $12 trillion around to the ones with the highest ESG score which in turn is a proxy a woke score. Now you are thinking so what company can get investment dollars from elsewhere that doesn't care. You would be wrong as BlackRock's Aladdin service is used by practically every major investment institution and fund. Most of these institutions and fund use the ESG ranking as well even if they do not believe in it as why would you want to draw the ire of the "fourth branch of government" if you do not.
This has lead to every single corporation having to increase their wokeness to get investment dollars otherwise their ESG score will be too low and they will be effectively blocked out from the market. So there you go, now you know why wokeness is being pushed, because Mr. Fink has a hard on for wokeness and everyone doesn't dare cross him.

>tldr Larry Fink has gained so much power he is strong arming the entire Finance world to only invest in "woke" companies

Democrat Party gives pre-written articles to journalists, and proofreads articles before publication

MediaTricks | January 17, 2022

Article screenshot from People's Pundit Daily, titled "Burning Bernie: WikiLeaks Dump Exposes DNC Corruption, Coronation".

The article reads: “Super PAC paying young voters to push back online on Sanders supporters,” an April 24 email from Jeremy Brinster reads. “She’s forced to continue to appeal to young liberals as opposed to pivoting back to center.”

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said he was reviewing the documents amid calls from supporters expressing anger and calling on him to revoke his endorsement of the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The leaked emails also show numerous “mainstream” media “journalists” essentially colluding with the DNC on propaganda disguised as news. In one email dated May 17, Josh Barro, a Senior Editor at Business Insider and MSNBC contributor, is thanked by the DNC for his hit pieces. Greg Sargent, of the Washington Post, is fed numerous stories that are in some cases already pre-written by the DNC.

“I think the best reporter to give the news to ahead of time is Greg Sargent at the Washington Post,” the National Press Secretary and Deputy Communications Director for the DNC Mark Paustenbach writes in an email dated May 20. “But, the specific reporter is not as important as getting it to an outlet before the news breaks so we can help control the narrative on the front end. Otherwise this may likely get spun in a not-so-helpful way. We should also get Rep. Cummings on the phone with that reporter.”

The email string subject line is “Getting on same page” pertaining to the media narrative. Ken Vogel at Politico used the DNC as a proofreader even before he handed his “journalism” into his editor, according to an April 30 email from Mr. Paustenbach.

Amazon Censoring Book Reviews For Chinese President

MediaTricks | December 31, 2021

The Times reports: "Amazon agreed to allow only five-star reviews for Xi’s book in China". Amazon removed poor reviews of Xi Jinping’s book The Governance of China following a request from Beijing.

Amazon quietly removed criticism of President Xi’s books by scrubbing bad reviews, ratings and comments from its Chinese site, it has emerged. The US retail giant agreed to Beijing’s demand to have anything below a five-star review of Xi Jinping’s book The Governance of China removed from Amazon.cn about two years ago, Reuters reported, citing two unidentified sources. The move is the latest example of western tech companies willing to work with Chinese censors for access to the country’s massive consumer market.

Google admits goal of “steering” conservative movement away from Nationalism and Nativism

MediaTricks | December 21, 2021

Adam Kovacevich, Google’s head of U.S. public policy, admitted in 2019 that the Google Corporation sponsors the annual CPAC conservative conference in order to:

❌ “steer conservatives and Republicans” away from Nationalism, and away from “Nativist” ideas aka Immigration Restriction and border control.

❗️ Google is a political group of globalist leftist activists, it is in control of much of the world’s access to information, and they have no problem censoring and manipulating to achieve their goals — a very dangerous combination.

The Notorious London Spy School Churning Out Many of the World’s Top Journalists

MediaTricks | December 21, 2021

MintPress News explored how one university department, the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, functions as a school for spooks. Its teaching posts are filled with current or former NATO officials, army officers and intelligence operatives to churn out the next generation of spies and intelligence officers."

"However, we can now reveal an even more troubling product the department produces: journalists. An inordinate number of the world’s most influential reporters, producers and presenters, representing many of the most well-known and respected outlets — including The New York Times, CNN and the BBC — learned their craft in the classrooms of this London department, raising serious questions about the links between the fourth estate and the national security state."
