Rich and Chris back when Chris wasn’t a racist and was still a libertarian.
In an email they sent to the Free Keene account, YouTube claimed they removed the video citing their “community guidelines”:
the
Content glorifying or inciting violence against another person or group of people is not allowed on YouTube. We also don’t allow any content that encourages hatred of another person or group of people based on their membership in a protected group.
Of course, this did not happen in our debate. Chris was his usual nasty racist self, but the point was to counter him with a strong opposing view. Rich did a great job of defeating Chris’s pro-hate, pro-state views, and really allowing Chris to reveal just how un-libertarian he has become over the years.
Thankfully, you don’t have to take my word for it. You can watch the full debate for yourself, thanks to the decentralized video hosting service, LBRY. Interestingly, this YouTube takedown occurred about a year after we announced a partnership with LBRY to host all the videos from the Free Keene YouTube channel. To access the full set of videos, once you’ve installed LBRY, you can just go here. Here’s the full, uncensored “Hippie vs NAZI” Episode One:
That video link is through the LBRY-related site, Spee.ch, but in case that site goes down, the video should always be available directly through LBRY here.

With technology like LBRY growing and getting better and better, perhaps we’re at the beginning of the end of the mega tech corporations’ stranglehold over speech online.
In case you were wondering, YouTube did not provide any link in their email that would allow their decision to be appealed.
Google is a terrible company and I hate it like I hate Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook with a passion. While we are getting off of YouTube lets consider getting ourselves off of GMail while we are at it. What was a decentralized technology has become dominated by a single email provider. I’m not a fan of relying on others period. But at least get off of these major platforms. It is how we end up in this dangerous situation where everybody and anybody who says something some small group doesn’t like gets to control everybody. If they can control what… Read more »
Rich Paul is an ironic representative for “the Hippie” community as he embodies the worst aspects (IMHO) often projected by “the establishment” on the rest of us. During his brief tenure at Chan Acres he managed to show such contempt for the hospitality he was shown by evaluating its worth as “less than $5.00 per day” and sat out about all ‘help around the farm’. At my attempt to stake him ($1,000.00) for Porc Fest 3 years ago, he managed to smoke the capital and stiff the repayment (He is trying now to rescue his reputation by having shuffled, so… Read more »
i don’t think they broke new ground… i listened to the whole thing though…I think chris should be careful of his blood pressure…
Of course they are going to censor this video. These two should not be on the air for any reason. Especially Cantwell. Are you looking for a shock value to boost ratings?
Rich has his own problems, but acting as if he’s some sort of exception in the community just contributes to and does not help the social fabric of it. Relax, be weary, and don’t put yourself into situations and be ready to tell people they aren’t welcome or whatever. Some people might be fine to work for and you won’t get stiffed. You might though and you take a risk. Just be grateful if someone is paying you back after they’ve fucked up.
To KK??? If your post is in any way directed to me (John Redman), Rich is “paying me back (MAYbe)” NOT to compensate me else interest would certainly be offered. It’s not. The “offer” to repay me was stated to be to resuscitate his reputation which I rejected in the 1st receipt I signed. Sylvan has a copy. I have more than one piece of evidence to attest to his bad character unrelated to his monopolizing conversations with his string of boring puns. If you are under his sway, I surmise that you MIGHT share his bad character, so, give… Read more »
I didn’t care enough about what you were saying to really write even a handful of coherent sentences. To attack someone based on their shotty wording tells others more about you than about me. It also undermines demonstrates a character flaw in you. I understand someone getting upset. However to hold a grudge like this is pathetic. It is apparent you and Rich are a lot alike. Both are flawed and I’m OK with that. I may not take advantage of you like Rich might, but at the same time I recognize his issues and don’t let him or anybody… Read more »
Blah blah blah. Tell me who you are so that I can avoid you in the future. My issue is that RP wants to use me to resuscitate his soiled reputation. No, won’t do that. I wrote that on the 1st receipt for the 1st $100. He is a slimeball and caution others who might do crypto transactions involving him where trust is involved. Some floozy was advocating in his behalf and I ignored her. Would that be YOU, kk? BTW, he used CASK to pay for that beer, not my card. WHERE did you come up with that far-fetched… Read more »
are you in love with RP kk downings?
go sick lemons… unless you have scurvy… if you have scurvy drink some salt water
ok maybe i was a little harsh wanting you to suffer from scurvy… you wuss
Do I, then, have a last mane for kk? Downings is it? Thanks. That will prolly be enough to shun him/her.
it’s actually not.. i just use that… sorry.. if you look up kk downing he’s a guitar player
Heck! I had my hopes up.
So, Rich Paul has reinvented himself AGAIN, claims that his new persona is “honest”. No liberty lovers, he is anything but honest plus his continuing punstering will not save his rep, not as long as I have input about it.
