BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Fuel Protest spokesman responds to over 300 Gardai taking O’Connell Street by force around 3 AM and shutting off all street access.
I want to acknowledge a mistake. When I wrote this, I had not read all of the released emails, particularly the Feb 2019 email in which Chomsky gave advice to Epstein on responding to media coverage of his crimes.
What I had seen pertained to correspondence about a financial dispute in Chomsky's family that he sought Epstein's input for, and the two discussing travel arrangements/meetings in years prior.
Even if Chomsky only knew what Epstein had been convicted of -- soliciting prostitution from a minor -- and hadn't read the Miami Herald stories that had come out by Feb 2019, it's inexcusable to me that he'd be offering him advice on how to navigate the PR fallout. I do not mean to downplay that.
As I said in my original post, I think Chomsky practiced bad judgment befriending Epstein. He knew what company Epstein kept. On that front, I also don't understand how he could have had friendly private chats with Israeli war criminal Ehud Barak.
It's unfortunate that Chomsky, for medical reasons, is not able to explain himself. It is my hope that his wife, Valeria, who appears in the Epstein emails as a key interlocutor, will offer a public explanation.
I was upset by what I saw as a rush to nullify a lifetime of noble work and throw Chomsky under the bus. But reverence for Chomsky's work does not justify minimizing the harm to Epstein’s victims.
Well I haven’t got an official communication from YouTube yet but it appears ol GrimmGreen is back for now.
I still have so many questions. But I’ll take this win for now. Thank you everyone.

These campaigns are actually killing people - like millions of people. Safe(r) nicotine products have zero to do with tobacco companies and everything to do with improving people’s lives. #vapingsaveslives
"These trends suggest vaping may gradually replace smoking as the dominant form of nicotine consumption."
It seems the gateway is out of smoking, not into.

@YouTube@TeamYouTube Please review & reinstate @GrimmGreen#YouTube channel. Like many around the world, he has helped & informed us on #HarmReduction with reviews & science. We respectfully ask for a human explanation to what “terms” he exactly violated.
After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.
