The State Of Things And What Is To Come

Yes both of my Youtube channels have been taken down.

I am not too worried about it.

In reality, my channels SHOULD be reinstated. The reason given for their terminations was the biggest fraud that has ever been perpetrated against my content. It was not for "bullying" or "harassment" or any of the usual fare. I'll discuss later what it was, but I am as sure as I can be that the claims against my channel were completely bogus. Unfortunately, Youtube being Youtube, that doesn't mean I get the channels back just by appealing. But this isn't my first Mario Party. The exact same channel has been terminated twice before. The last time it was terminated, by some stroke of COVID-fueled luck (RIP grandma) they just forgot to take it down. Deer God Provides.

The first time the channel was terminated, we called, emailed, and faxed their offices into oblivion (and out of toner) until they re-instated it. Through sheer tyranny of will, the channel was brought back, and that was when there were far fewer people watching. I know the people who were around then are waiting with pitchforks ready and torches alight, but I don't think we are there yet. I'm still waiting for the response to my appeal. Assuming that does go south, then yeah, fire up the fax machines. i'll give instruction then if you'd like to help.

Far more people I am sure (likely more people than even have access to this message) are looking for who to aim their pitchforks at when it comes to a culprit.

You may have noticed that in the past 24 hours I've been rather quiet about the whole thing. A few people know who I think is behind it, but outside of a very small group I have given absolutely no indication of what I think, who I think, or any instruction on "revenge" or "retalliation."

Frankly, I thought it would be funnier to watch the fallout in quiet. See who brags. See who claims to have had a hand in it. See who takes sides. See who starts battening down the hatches. This will be especially funny to me if the channel IS reinstated, because the level of cope coming from those currently gloating over it will be astronomical.

Tom Gulley had the reaction I assumed. The creatures in the woodwork who have glommed onto Pod Awful in a desperate attempt to get a squeeze of milk have been enjoying themselves. A couple had surprising responses, presumably because they understood that whoever may have had a hand in this will live to regret it. The Legion Of Goon had their meetup and a round of high fives.

Mersh did not have the reaction I expected. Because Mersh is a putrid, under-nourished, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome baby monkey. Mersh is allergic to the truth. He is allergic to being right. He is allergic to being smart. It's why he's so FUN! I should have known with his insane ego and non-stop projection (and I am going to assume having cross-eyes has some input on this as well), but I still never expected him to DOUBLE DOWN on the threats. He spent most of his show talking about me, and this is exactly why I waited to say anything, because I wanted to watch him do this. He continued making false allegations with no evidence. He then somehow spun me losing my channel into HIM being a victim. He even went as far as to threaten to take "everything" from me if the "gay ops" doesn't stop. I mean I can't even parse this. This is a level of unbelievable that I have never entered before. This is James Cameron in a submarine pitch-black twilight zone shit.

But when he said he has already seen me saying I'm going to exact my revenge, and all the planning I'm doing "behind the scenes" and that I am giving troops marching orders... on a day where I stayed completely silent. Well, I knew then I had done the right thing. Mersh is now, nakedly, a liar. The emperor has no blazer. It was bad enough when he hid the last MONTH of Nightwaves in order to hide his flip-flopping on the idea of flagging my channel, but to outright lie and claim he has seen me scheming to have him taken down... that... that's unconscionable.

The irony of all ironies here is: I did not think it was Mersh. I specifically told my wife, and those closest to me in the Cult what I think happened. And it didn't involve Mersh. I have multiple points of evidence that point to another person being behind this.

But it doesn't matter. Because, now, even if it wasn't Mersh. It was Mersh. And it has been Mersh before. He did this to Mike Cernovich. He did this to Owen Benjamin. He has done it to multiple low-level, perceived-enemies you've likely never heard of. I have proof. I know for a fact he has created private discord servers with the sole intention of deplatforming people. And the only reason he didn't do this to Pod Awful before is because he fears Pod Awful. He should.

So let's talk about the future. One way or another, the episodes and videos that were taken down will be back up online. Somewhere. And certainly on Youtube whether Youtube likes it or not. We may go to other platforms as well. I might go fully paywall. I don't know. I prefer to just go with the flow, but I have plenty of ideas floating around. The one thing I know is, I am a cockroach and I've completely infested the internet. So there are many episodes currently missing from the Pizza Fund (NOW are you glad we switched to Vimeo?). Those will mostly be restored. Some may be lost to time. I don't have backups of everything. But that's the beauty of the internet. It is ephemeral. They say nothing ever disappears from the internet, but it isn't true, and I kind of enjoy the fact that there are things you just had to be there for.

Pizza Fund content will continue to be made as well, but there may be a hiccup in production. I cannot expect anybody to stick around when half the archive is 404'd, but if you'd be so kind, I'll try making it worth your time and money as always. Also, this may be the only place for updates for a while. I'll keep you as abreast of things as possible. There may be massive changes coming, and it is all cloudy and unknowable.

There will be a WORLD WAR epsiode soon in the $20 level. Of course there will. It will be big. If you are angry on my behalf, you will not want to miss out. These shows aren't forever, I have always known that, and soon we will be teaching that lesson to others.

Please keep this post to yourself. No need to discuss it in chats or Discord, or wherever. Let's enjoy watching the Goons flail in their last moments.
