BLACKLISTED! Google Audited? - CBD Industry Helps to Expose Corruption
Hemp is legal, so what’s the deal? Is it your privilege or your narrative causing changes in your online experience? Be it the ads shown in your browser, the results when you search, the news you’re allowed to read, the accounts you’re allowed to have, the thoughts you’re not allowed to have. It seems far-fetched for the average person, but censorship and silencing may be closer to home than it seems. We all would like to feel like we have free speech but how would we know our speech is being stifled if we aren’t allowed to speak about it?
When it comes to calling to action and social marketing, no one has been “in the loop” more than Kimber Mc, CEO of multi brand hemp and cbd distribution company Natural Healthy CBD, which is not an an easy task. One hundred and 50 or so brands in the most taboo industry since the adult industry trust her to list only the most honest companies beside them and place their products in the hands of influencers and reviewers they can trust to remain unbiased. This mission, based on the need for honesty to remain in the hemp market as long as possible, had her in the center of Vidcon's preferred advertisers conference late 2015 listening to Youtube's newest CEO, Susan Wojcicki's plan for the popular platform responsible for 75% of Googles shared social adspace? According to the 2017 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, 65% of marketers with 3+ years social media experience are interested in YouTube. So why choose to create and dev a private ad to influencer platform instead of following the funnel into Youtube's adspace? As many CBD companies are aware, they were forced into it.
What happens the day your channel is suspended and deleted from Youtube? What do you do? Who do you tell? What if Facebook bans you? Then twitter? Your phone goes off to alert you that your bank account has been shut down and so has your paypal. Suddenly no one wants to so much as utter your name on youtube less they risk their channel as well, having had their pay cut down to a fourth this year already. Who do you tell? Who would believe you? Strap in for this one and wrap your tinfoil hat tight, we’re jumping into a deep rabbit hole here.
Youtubers are getting hit hard in the name of political correctness causing them to lose their careers in the name of censoring wrong think. Many channels have had to change paths when it comes to content or the ways they present theirs, often causing harm to the very people Youtube claims to want to protect in the first place. However with news breaking about Antitrust and Big Tech in US Federal Court, is it too late? Is there still time to save free speech on the internet? Strap in for this one and wrap your tinfoil hat tight, we’re jumping into a deep rabbit hole here.
While most CBD companies do their best to stay away from politics or personal opinion in general today's political climate makes it near impossible for the average hemp business to stay away. While youtubers are getting demonetized with a handful losing their paypal entirely, no one is speaking up about those leading the way in the revolution and legalization losing their ability to take payments being taken from over them a year ago. Law abiding, tax paying citizens have been without paypal and most without processing since we've been a legal industry. This isn't a pity party, it's a revelation on how much we all have in common and what we can accomplish if we work together.
To understand entirely we have to go back to about a year ago when we were one of two CBD companies privately sponsoring youtubers. We noticed an influx of millenials now unemployed or unable to pay bills with absolutely no education or work ethic, no understanding of how hard it was to make a dollar or anything making them employable in average society making it nearly impossible to do anything other than the one thing they've done since childhood, Youtube. Our CEO was a preferred ad partner with Youtube, a program for top level management and ad agencies along with corporate and famous channels and networks. That's around the time we began trying to get word out about the dreaded Blacklist. Since October 18th 2018, shortly after our return, we reached out to many regarding this blacklist having it laughed off and even having our Twitter at the time deleted.
When our tweets were taken down, we were quoted only by failed journalist theQuartering (Who now goes by multiple youtube channel names) whom claimed he had "reached out for quote but of course the company hasn't responded." While his video had been made public only a few hours after our tweet was quoted, he never reached out. In fact, when we tried to reach out to correct the misinformation spread by theQuartering, we were surprised to see he had blocked us instead. What's more, he attempted to block us from speaking to every youtuber he could, including now banned theRalphRetort and Mister Metokur. TheQuartering attempted to slander us as "crazy," blaming us for the removal of Tim Pool and Bearing, of which we had absolutely no part in. He refused to correct this information and thus our attempt at publicizing the censorship that was to come was... well, censored.
The truth, now that you're all being forced to listen,
is that Google wants you to funnel your money through them they want total control of business relationships on youtube and the internet.
Ask @thequartering where his insider info was to protect your channels from this?

The call to inform everyone that their free speech was at risk due to political bias and a push from Google had fallen on deaf ears. At the time it seemed like a theory for those in tinfoil hats but it was just as evident and scary to us then as today. The difference is maybe we could have spread the message further, faster, and prevent the loss of 50% of all creator earnings at the risk of everyone's free speech.
While never corrected, theQuartering has since released a video regarding google being exposed in which he claims he knew and how proud he is of Project Veritas. We don't like to share fake news, but we do like to give credit where it's due and no one deserves credit like Josh Pescatore and Tim Pool (yes, aforementioned Tim Pool) at Project Veritas.
See the most recent video as of the writing of this article, in the link EXPOSED: Political Censorship in Big Tech where Project Veritas, taglined "Whistleblowers Welcome" exposes Google's top level executives exposing this plan for Google as a whole.
We're sure the timing was just on point, however it wouldn't be the first time an online deep dive has caused us to cross pass with the journalists at Veritas. Pool, punished by youtube was first introduced to us above. However Pescatore, once part of the DramaAlert Youtube News Team, has entered the same circles while working on our autoads system and affiliate upgrades, including what many in the hemp industry and live stream communities know as SBAI or ScoutBuddy AI and the upcoming twitter BluntBot, both in development. It came as no surprise that when we came upon a Google conflict, Veritas was right there as well. This goes to show how in the know Veritas is, their reach further than even they're aware, leaving one to believe that many are against corruption. Like the CBD industry made it through their banning of payment processing, it would seem journalists at Vertias are breaking though the walls of search censorship. Even today you can't find them on the front page of Google but they're being mentioned in news articles across the internet that aren't silenced. Who knew people would stand up for free speech?
When it come to our CEO, she's made her stance clear as she stands for the sick and the small and built Natural Healthy CBD, herein NCH, on that principle. She's gained notoriety originally at patient 01 for medical marijuana in her state and has been extremely influential in legalization while battling her own chronic ailments, was made a victim of the state, punished as a warning to those who pushed for legalization. She later lead the campaign for etsy to open its services to disability service dog gear, now leading in helping to out the scam registries. Now she're in the process of providing a safe place to buy gear and discuss for trainers and handlers of the working dogs, such as herself,a fact many don't know about her while others take into high regard when working directly with her when it comes to dog products and services. Having experience in both the medical and legal fields, she's no stranger to fighting for the rights of the people and her current fight is the largest for free speech and equal ability to work.It should come as no shock she's a big fan of Veritas, having bantered and spoken with Pescatore in chats and on Twitter. We don't know when he found out about Google but we can promise at this point he does listen and investigate.
We recommend Veritas to anyone looking for fact driven information. Pescatore is seeminly in support of free speech and freedom of information, which is exactly what Project Veritas sets out to protect, which is probably the second biggest reason they've been deleted and banned from the internet's biggest platforms.
The number one reason would absolutely be the glorious work they did at getting insider information proving Google was bias and they were changing search algorithms and thus, video content, in their favor. Google, the biggest search platform in the world, claimed it would be bias for the greater good to prevent the election of President Donald Trump again like he had been in 2016... which is election meddling... isn't it?
Not for Google! Google it!
See the issue here?
Google having the ability to change the past and socially engineer the future sounds quite Orwellian in nature. Truth is it's a duopoly, meaning that with Facebook and it's subsidies, Google (and parent company Alphabet) controls the public square. They are acting both as platform and publisher, leaving them to get away with whatever they wish, like election meddling.
Recently, Youtube ( a Google/Alphabet Company) declared it would be removing monetization and possibly banning creator on creator related content. Ironically, Josh Pescatoire said it best on his Twitter:
This statement right here should worry a LOT of creators on Youtube right now.
For Google to have this much confidence in their advertiser algorithm is astonishing. You mean to tell me that this algorithm is so advanced, has been so well trained that it now can determine INTENT?

Our first published mention of the hidden goings on at Google was July 2018 in an article titled YOUtube is DONE with YOU! Shane Dawson & Jake Paul Predict the End of Youtube where we laid out all the unjust things we saw coming into play at Youtube and Google that just didn’t sit right. Shane Dawson is not a new character around here. His connection to us actually helped us to see the difference in how Youtube treated its creators of larger size with benefits, like allowing them to do what others lose their channels for, like his meowjuana campaign with CBD while the rest get banned for it. Also choosing only three creators being chosen to sit down with Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki, Shane was one of them. His display and constant change of content has been very insightful when it comes to Youtube’s favoritism, to no fault of his own.
Other noteworthy topics included a theory that Shane’s platform was being used to give a voice to those who had it taken away. However, these voices weren’t the one’s the public wanted, choosing the likes of Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau (of infamous Tanacon scandal.)
The big points we tried to outline was that Susan Wojcicki isn’t for creators or Youtube as a whole and the changes she’s outlined and put into motion have failed the platform on a global scale. First, failed move to remove Pewdiepie, slandering the voice of the only person who controls the narrative of her platform, someone she considers right leaning. Not to mention Youtube hasn’t made a profit in a long time, hemorrhaging an astounding $80 billion dollar market cap in 2018 alone. Taking that into account,if you own a small business no matter the size, is more successful than current Youtube. Let that sink in. Sadly, essentially the golden years of youtube are over for creators since the first algorithmic shift into what Youtube creators call the “ad-pocolypse” or era of lost revenue. Wojcicki’s job on the line, youtube needed to do something! Susan’s plan was to obviously cut the earnings of the very people that caused it to exist in the first place, then giving an approx. $20 million instead to corporate Vox media, declaring they would now be held accountable for fact finding and weeding out fake news, ironically. Don’t take our word for it, allow parent company Verge to explain how they were the only Youtuber to get a $20 million dollar grant towards “educational content.”
In October, we released Why is Everyone So Depressed?! What Does Your Mental Health, Youtube, and Data Mining Have in Common? Here we introduced you to our friend @AntonioChavezsn over at Memology101, the main person behind breaking and exposing the Betterhelp scandal. Following the likes of Candid and now Betterhelp it’s no surprise that youtube also pushed itself into your privacy by minding your data by collecting your DNA. It is Memology101 that helped lead us to information regarding Susan’s sister, Anna Wojciciki, and her being the founder of another forced Youtube ad campaign, 23andme.
Sound familiar? It should as they’re now on Amazon and aiming for Twitch, gaining popularity from creators the likes of Keemstar and WoahVicky. 23andme is a genetic DNA and testing facility, an odd service to push to the youth of youtube. We suggest you read both of these articles to better inform yourself of the falsities in Youtube Advertising, one that uses creators such as Phillip Defranco to push the exact narrative they want pushed.
So when Phillip Defranco comes out and pushes new channel like Jennelle Eliana it immediately caught the attention of the Memology101 and BluntMed team, who recognized her as someone who attempted to use one of our ad services but was removed due to number manipulation. Now she’s gaining followers it takes most Youtubers years to obtain, Philly D, owner of advertiser network Rogue Rocket, known for their shady ads practices pushing her above all the other hard working creators, and Youtube themselves even publishing tweets and instagrams pushing a channel with only two videos and that barely uploads. Memology 101 is currently keeping everyone informed with his series YouTube Manages to Artificially Grow a Channel Under Our Noses.
In his series (as of this article’s publication is up to 5 parts) he calls out Defranco and the growth but he hasn’t quite touched on the fact that the channel is being supported by Google, the same antitrust culprits who may lose their ability to rig search results in federal court. What can we do to control the youth if not change their search habits? Plant a celebrity with a narrative.
Yes, Google and Youtube is being investigated along with top line Big Tech companies to get to the bottom of the thousands of complaints the FTC received against the company this year alone.
Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department has opened a broad antitrust inquiry into potentially anti-competitive behavior from Amazon, Google and Facebook.Third party analysts have been hired to audit and investigate these Tech giants and their key players. Among those to work on the audit were some of the original reporters to the FTC, who’s asked for data and findings into the claims that Google has been illegally working while breaking antitrust laws. Oh boy, are we going to give it to them!
CEO of Natural Healthy CBD owns the biggest international marketing and distribution agency of legal hemp in the USA. They’ve recently been stepping into tech when it comes to their influencer marketing, chat read system known as SBAI (Scoutbuddy AI) and theBluntBot, in development. NHC is the first company to push the publicizing of lab results, something becoming a now standard in the industry. NCH CEO, Kimber Mc and those at Natural Healthy CBD have always been in support of free speech and as a victim of the state that dedicated her life to fight for legal medicine, is no stranger to conspiracy and exposing it. When Blunt Media began it simply started as a brand dealer network, hoping to skip giving the money to Youtube and risk the take down of their albet new but legal industry. Not to mention taking back the control of the increasing 35% taken by Youtube while punishing creators and advertisers who dare attempt to make money without paying them. However we seem to be growing into something much more, finding creators, editors and businesses alike becoming more active in the fight for free speech.
NHC, now a year later, is in charge of auditing the very company who tried to destroy them, their business, industry partners, sponsored creators and friends. That's right, we were among the first to call to action your complaints to the FTC or Federal Trade Commission, in control of Antitrust and Fair Competition.
What makes Facebook and their child companies of instagram and snapchat a part of the problem?
When Steven Crowder sued Facebook, it was due to them being hidden from the public.
Today, and since the day our audit was announced, we’ve been banned from even PRIVATE personal messaging. Facebook is censoring what you see and say in PRIVATE messaging, since it’s illegal to just downright delete our business, who’s profile connects to Google business shopping and advertising, often popping you into Amazon to purchase with your paypal or credit card. As a legal, tax paying, licensed business we run our ecommerce like any other, with legal banking and processing in the United States, they can't just delete an entire company.
That is, unless payment and internet presence were taken from you because of who you voted for as president or because you refuse to sell your share of a very new industry to. One that hasn’t yet been tainted like the big pharmaceutical corporations, but will be soon as shares of hemp are purchased and companies dissolve daily wiping out the families that started it for the sick in the name of large profits. This is easy if your friends are the credit card companies, most banks and social media and advertising platforms. What control for someone who has yet to win the election.
NHC has a goal to prevent this as long as possible in their small industry with their collab not to compete principle.This is actually how we at NHC outline our business, giving every single company that can pass a lab test and sample quality survey a fair chance to visibility and criticism. Incorporating Blunt Med we were able to maintain our unbiased point of view while providing creators a chance at assisting in the spread of information and advertising of the industry at large. Our network of creators are just as much a part of our service as every single company and collectively we were all being shut down, at one time NHC being the only sales some of these companies we able to make as their processing was taken from them with no rhyme or reason.
When the audit started we were shocked that our personal business messages were being blocked. Facebook had deliberately blocked us on their social site, which is okay because no one really uses Facebook anymore anyways.
So, even with our link blatantly blocked and that report link going absolutely nowhere,we find ourselves faced with possibly the biggest change to Big Tech since Google... and we’re the 3rd party auditors.due to our original FTC complaint.
While we originally thought it would be just Google to be held accountable for the past indiscretions, Facebook was also dragged into federal court earlier this year due to their overstepping their rights to your privacy. Not even a year later, news is already buzzing regarding a Facebook owned and operated cryptocurrency.
With so many options already available along with the Facebook data breach, who in their right mind would want to place their trust (and money) into the hands of Zuckerberg? Why, those with no other options and no other platform because together with Mastercard and some well placed threats from Google, they’re sure of your desperation. Not only are they attempting to create a solution to a seemingly illegal method of business, Facebook may have been behind creating the actual problem in the first place.
Now in the wake of the antitrust investigations on Facebook and Google, we now find payment systems like Mastercard, Streamlabs, Paypal, and Apple Pay that seem to be next on the audit line with the companies they coincide like Twitch, Youtube and Discord for laundering and fraud accusations among antitrust breaches they committed themselves.
In the wake, suddenly 8chan, an anonymous image board, lost their cloudflare service after its founder called in to action the site close its doors. At the moment, connection to 8chan is spotty, working more for some than others.This is troublesome and seems like a quickened, if not panicked progression to what we feared, censorship over the internet. Not just censorship, but bias algorithms in search, ads, and finances that the average person not working in youtube or censored themselves would even notice. It's like subtle brainwashing en masse.
Is it too late? With entire works deleted from youtube, websites hidden from Facebook and Google, an Amazon-Apple alleged scandal, corruption and antitrust violations from the very websites we hoped to allow us the freedom to be social censoring our words, what's keeping us safe from losing places like reddit, 4chan, or the kiwi farms or will places like Amazon’s Twitch be over taken by Microsoft’s Mixer or will it all crash and burn because who’s to say what’s wrong or what's offensive and where the line stops? The VPN services we suddenly trust our information to?
NHC’s dev team has been collecting as much as they can in regards to their audit however they’re not in the business of detective work, their CEO working with a small team at a time to manage that and the audit, as she is quoted as having multiple app and web development projects in the works. With 150 partnerships, one would need to keep up, It brings business to a near halt when you can’t use money or advertising and you’re given a project. We all hope the project does what we set out to do, Keep speech free and stay out of the american election. Let us make our own decisions.
The situation has caused NHC CEO to open a “board of trustees” featuring the likes of other hemp and cannabis industry CEOs, industry journalist, scam investigators, journalists, insiders, reviewers, labs, cultivators, lawyers, doctors and more and she’s going to bring them together in a way that fits their busy positions yet allowing them to discuss important industry news without censorship or paid bias that we can then share with the public in the most transparent and responsible way possible.
As for Google, they’ve prevented us from publishing as news and thus not many people except those that already follow us in some form or another, will ever see this publication. Our audit will hopefully do much more however, if you feel it’s important for others to know about the information in this article please share it wherever you see fit and check back soon for updates! Together we can do this!
