My YouTube channel "adjuk" was terminated on 06 June 2011 of weeks ago. This article "tells the story". I had about 270 videos - posted over a period of 5 years - all that content is now inaccessible - a free repository of research on topics such as chemtrails, Mars, ET/UFOs, Health and so on.
YouTube – A Wonderful
Invention!
Since its
inception in about 2006, YouTube has become a truly incredible resource for
sharing information. When you’re feeling nostalgic, you can search and find
almost any memorable clip from any TV show from the last 50 years, along with
old TV commercials, tunes, cartoons. And, of course there are millions of “video
blog entries” about all kinds of subjects. I am sometimes given to wonder how
any company can afford to run a service like this which must require a vast
system of disk and computer storage – running into Petabytes (millions of
gigabytes – 10^15 bytes) per year. It sometimes amazes me that we get to upload
and view all these videos – for free!
I started my own channel in 2006 under
the rather unimaginative name “adjuk” (my initials along with my country of
residence). However, there is one issue that we uploaders have to contend with…
Copyright? Copy-wrong?
On
06 June 2011, I was notified (presumably by some automatic system) that my
YouTube channel/account had been terminated. There was no immediate warning
about this (i.e. in this scenario, there does not seem to be any action or
alternatives one can take to avoid this from happening).
However, there
was some “history” to the occurrence of termination, which I perhaps had not
paid close enough attention to.
I set up my
YouTube channel in about 2006 and I did receive a copyright violation notices
for one of the earlier videos I posted – either it was one of David Icke
appearing on the Wogan show in 2007, or it was one of a researcher called David Boyle appearing on BBC
Question Time in 2006. At the links I have included here, you can still find
both these videos online.
So this meant
that by about 2007, I had one copyright violation notification against my
channel (but I don’t think, at the time, the video was deleted or disabled).
Also in 2007, one of my videos was disabled as being “inappropriate content” –
which was rather curious at the time. (I
reposted the clip elsewhere.)
Next, in 2008, I
posted an edited video clip of John Bedini discussing his motor technology. I
had used a clip from the film “Energy From the Vacuum Part 2”
(a trailer for his film is
available. Oddly, the YouTube trailer does not contain a link to the website
where the DVD of the film can be purchased). It was for this video clip that I
was later notified there was a “copyright violation by Energetic Productions
LLC”. At that time, I thought if I deleted the video clip, it would essentially
mean that the “violation notice count” would be reduced back to what it was
before (i.e. I hadn’t considered the “consequences” and I did not realise a
“3-strikes-and-you’re-out” rule that seems to apply).
Later in 2008, I
posted another clip – it was from a 1985 video called “Soviet Weather
Engineering Over North America” which feature Tom Bearden giving a lecture, I
think at a McDonnell Douglas event (as he refers to Jack Houck as one of their
engineers). You may still be able to find a copy of this video online if you
google for it. The clip I posted was a 7 minute segment from this video – where
Bearden talks about a “Tesla Death Ray” and “Interfering beams”, whilst showing
a diagram of 2 “projectors”. I was struck by Bearden’s description (try and
watch this clip if you can), because of my involvement with and knowledge of Dr. Judy Wood’s research about how
interference effects were seen in the evidence from the destruction of the World
Trade Centre on Sept. 11th 2001. It seemed “too close for
comfort”. I therefore, as with most if not all of the other clips on my defunct
channel, had posted the clip for educational purposes. Therefore, if
given the chance (which I was not), I would have argued that “fair use” applies
– especially for material such as this, which seems pertinent to
exploring areas of what must be hidden knowledge. (Again, this 7 minute clip can
probably also be found if you look for it.)
So, this clip had
been posted on my channel for almost 3 years at the time I received a second
“copyright violation by Energetic Productions LLC”. This meant I now had 3
copyright violations “lodged” against my channel – 2 of which were from
Energetic Productions LLC – and so, immediately, all my channel became
inaccessible – videos, messages, comments etc all “gone”.
I took a brief
look at trying to “file a counter claim”, but
this looked much too troublesome to go through, when I could repost all the
other videos if I really needed to, even though it would take a long time.
Energetic Productions LLC?
Clearly, it
seemed worth digging a little deeper here, because they had filed 2 of the 3
copyright violations against me/my channel…
Energetic
Productions LLC is a company selling DVD’s and books primarily about the
research and experiments of 2 people. The first is Colonel Tom Bearden
(Retired) – a figure who is regularly quoted in relation to “scalar
weapons”. Bearden is clearly a person of some knowledge and intelligence, yet
in his 2004 Book (reprinted in 2006) on page 23, still maintains that Al
Qaida and Osama Bin Laden were responsible for the events of 9/11. (A notion
which is patently ridiculous when the evidence is studied for more than about 10
minutes.) Tom
Bearden also has spoken about weather modification and John Hutchison’s research,
yet has not commented on the presence of Hurricane Erin on
9/11 nor the strong similarity of the phenomena
John Hutchison produced in his experiments to those catalogued by Dr. Judy Wood
in the evidence she collected pertaining to the destruction of the WTC.
Strange…
The second person
that Energetic Productions LLC sell DVD’s about is John Bedini. He has
invented a type of motor which captures some of the “back EMF” which is normally
filtered out of a circuit when the motor is slowing down or stopping. Bedini’s
circuit allows some of the back EMF – apparently a “radiant pulse”, as Tesla may
have called it, to be “captured” – and used to charge a battery. Various people
have posted YouTube videos of their own reproductions of this technology – and
it does, indeed, appear to do something unusual. One or two YouTube posters seem
to have built systems that are self-running (i.e. the motor runs from one
battery and charges another, then the batteries are switched – in some examples,
electronically, and the system continues to run).
The Bedini
technology also seems to have been developed into a commercial product – the Renaissance Charger. It does appear to be
obtaining small amounts of “energy from the vacuum”.
But what is the
goal of Energetic Productions LLC? Perhaps it is just to “make money” from its
products and DVDs? Does it feel that me reposting clips from its videos is a
real threat to its revenue streams? Or could it be argued that my videos would
be free advertising for them? Why would they suddenly file a copyright violation
for a 25-year-old video? (Remember, these violations are not filed
“accidentally”).
Free Energy Is Real – So are
“Limited Hangouts”
Perhaps my goal
is different to theirs – I want people to know that free energy technology is
real. I want them also to know that it has
already been weaponised. I
also want them to know that powerful interests are working to keep the true
knowledge about free energy technologies covered up. I want them to know
that there are some people who are encouraging a “limited hangout” – along the lines of “well,
there may be some way to get a little energy from the vacuum, but not in really
useful amounts and we’re years and years away from any useful technologies”.
This is essentially the thrust of what people like Steven E. Jones have said
– and now he seems to be being forced to
do something similar again.
Perhaps releasing
information about a technology that can be used to charge a battery is a good
“limited hangout” option for those vested interests that are in control of what
we get access to. After all, charging a battery is not a particularly efficient
way to obtain free energy – it is slow, and the energy comes in fairly small
amounts.
“So Who Are Energetic
Productions LLC?”
So, we are now
ready to look at little deeper at this. In doing so, I viewed the Page HTML
source at
http://www.cheniere.org/sales/donate-to-ep.htm.
This was so I could find a contact e-mail address for them – as I knew an e-mail
address has to be associated with a PayPal button. This e-mail address lead me
to another website: http://www.craddock.biz/ . A click on this
page reveals that it is an engineering/consulting company – for the Oil
Industry. Glancing at this page: http://www.craddock.biz/client_list.html
reveals this company has done work for B.P. EXPLORATION, INC., BRUNEI SHELL
PETROLEUM (B.S.P.), CHEVRON U.S.A., INC. and a whole raft of others.
This page states that “Founder,
President and CEO Anthony J. (Tony) Craddock has forty years experience in the
international petroleum industry”.
So we can now see
that Energetic Productions LLC which filed 2 copyright violations against my
YouTube channel, takes PayPal donations to an e-mail address associated with an
Oil Industry Consulting/Engineering company. Perhaps things are becoming
clearer…?
As is often the
case with these things which seem to be revelatory, I was not the first
to discover them. A. J. Craddock is already listed on PESN (Sterling Allen’s
site). This
page notes the “Craddock Oil Industry Connection” and posts a rebuttal to
the inference I am essentially making in what I have written – i.e. it says
“Tony has been Tom's webmaster for years.
That someone from the oil industry is interested in renewable solutions can be a
reason for hope.”
A Reason for Hope?
It was obvious to
me that other users had had their channels suspended and so I wondered if there
was an easier method (not involving lawyers) for getting a channel reinstated. I
did find one user who appeared to have
had his/her channel reinstated when the party responsible for a copyright
violation notice withdrew it, after he/she contacted the party that filed the
notice.
With these two
“reasons for hope” in mind, I found an e-mail address for Anthony J. Craddock
and wrote
him the e-mail included below, appealing that Energetic Productions LLC
remove the violation notice(s).
As some readers
may know, I have had some involvement
with things like Dr. Steven Greer’s Disclosure
Project, so it is also worth noting at this point that Mr Craddock has
also apparently been involved with Dr. Steven Greer’s work – acting, for a
time, as a Webmaster for one of Steven Greer’s Websites -www.cseti.org. Mr.
Craddock has also been involved in “The UFO Scene” for some years. One would
think, therefore, we had enough common interests for him to e-mail me, or use
YouTube messaging to ask me to remove any clips he was not happy that I had
posted (and, remember, my goal is to share information and increase awareness
and understanding of these topics. My goal is not to make money.) I must
also, at this point, draw attention to an
earlier posting I made raising some questions about Steven Greer’s own “free
energy” initiatives – which seem to have yielded nothing.
However, no
response of any kind was received to any of the e-mails I sent to any of the 3
e-mail addresses, so my original channel is still “dead”. I have, however,
created a new channel http://www.youtube.com/user/checktheevidence
and I will be slowly uploading most of the original videos I had onto that
channel over the next few weeks and months.
Conclusion
Unfortunately,
due to my efforts to contact the person at Energetic Productions LLC by sending
them 3 different e-mails and their failure to contact me separately to ask me to
delete any “offending clips”, and my fairly clear agenda of trying to educate
and inform people regarding the
truth about the “limited hangout” that most people and groups are adopting when
it comes to a discussion of free energy technology, I can only assume that
the party behind filing 2 copyright violation notifications against my channel
wanted my channel to be closed – so that the information which was present in/on
it would become inaccessible. Bearing in mind the clear connections of the main
person behind Energetic Productions LLC, I do not find this too surprising.
Perhaps some people really do want useful knowledge about
free energy technology and the knowledge of its weaponisation to be covered
up. Perhaps they don’t really care what effect this has had and is having on
the world. Perhaps they’re happy to keep up a pretence that they are trying to
reveal some of this information – but in actuality they are helping to keep the
most important aspects of this knowledge covered up. However, there is a chance
I could be wrong, so each reader must come to their own conclusion – by studying
and considering the available evidence.

adjuk - Video removed - Copyright Infringement
Dear Sir,
Today, I received
the notification below and I am sorry that I seem to have infringed some of your
copyright by posting a segment of a 1985 video. I did not realise you owned the
copyright. Also, my channel is not one for profit and is meant to be
educational, I was therefore hoping that copyright would not be a troublesome
issue in this case.
I am of course
happy to delete video clip if that is what you wish.
Sadly, my entire
channel has been deleted - and it contains many other research videos (I think
over 200) that I have developed over the last few years - on various subjects
and topics. These are now inaccessible to everyone - including me.
I have read
elsewhere that YouTube can re-instate channels if the copyright infringement
notice is withdrawn. I therefore am asking if you will consider withdrawing this
notices.
I hope I have
written to the right e-mail address as I had a little trouble finding an address
for Energetic Productions LLC.
Hoping this can
be resolved.
Yours in apology
and in hope,
Andrew Johnson

Dear Sir,
Sorry to trouble
you again. However, I am still wondering if I can get this sorted out with you.
Several people have written to me regarding the channel and have expressed some
regret that it has been suspended. As I would need to spend a great deal of time
re-uploading many videos to restore what research I have posted on YT, I am keen
to spend a little time attempting to resolve the issue.
Can this be
sorted out at all? Thanks for your time - I understand you must be busy - so
even a very brief response would be appreciated.
Please understand
my need to document the outcome of this.
Regards
Andrew
