The appalling eradication of Australian culture at the hands of American behemoth tech companies continues apace.

Australia adopts all of its policies, including mass migration and climate change, from America. This includes the current censorship push known as MAD — Malinformation and Disinformation.

It’s a sad and torrid time, as our gormless politicians sit on and watch as perfectly healthy community protest is quashed.

Why?

Cafe Locked Out, with one of the greatest Australian voices to emerge in recent years Michael Grey Griffith, fell afoul of the censors. The Australian government, determined to crush independent voices, is outsourcing the censorship of its citizens to American companies, including Facebook and YouTube.

This is an abuse of Australian citizens and a betrayal of Australia’s increasingly flimsy democracy.

By dint of perseverance and hard work Michael Gray Griffith has become the leading on the ground documentary maker of our times, a desperately needed poet laureate who has traveled the country recording the voices of ordinary people. In the process he has built up an invaluable record of the times. He sees it as a spiritual quest.

Here is the notice Cafe Locked Out received:

It looks like Kulture Episode #17, Season 2. didn’t follow Community Guidelines.

To help keep our community safe, we removed it from YouTube.

How this impacts you

We’ve issued a third strike against your account, and your channel has been permanently removed from YouTube. As we mentioned in previous emails, repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines can result in account termination. Going forward, you will be prohibited from accessing, possessing, or creating any other YouTube channels.

To listen to the Women of Kulture episode which got Cafe Locked Out tossed off YouTube, something of a badge of honour these days, go to Rumble HERE. The episode includes Surveillance State by The Elocutionist.

Alison Bevege, one of the most talented young journalists of a new generation operating outside the sclerotic mainstream media, wrote: “Shocking censorship. Well done for supporting artists and musicians without fear of the censors. YouTube is just going to wither away. Everything interesting is on Rumble

“Great episode of Kulture, too — everyone should watch it. Some great tunes in there plus an amazing story of a schoolboy hauled up before his class by his teacher, told he was a danger to everyone for being unvaxxed and told he is the reason for rape, because he’s a young man, and all the men should apologise to the women and girls. That needs to be followed up in the media with the school. That’s absolutely shocking.”

Here’s what the Cafe Locked Out team has has to say about it all:

Cafe Locked Out has been online for over three tumultuous years, premiering a few weeks before the ‘Siege of the Shrine’, where Michael was present as a protester.

Much has unfolded since, with numerous journeys, thousands of interviews and ideas explored to encourage people to join us.

Literally from the start, we have been dealing with unprecedented levels of censorship across all our social media platforms, except rumble.

Regardless, we have continued to push ahead and share the discoveries from professionals, and recorded thousands of interviews, stories, and real experiences from us, the people.

Now we work with several passionate podcasters, who are all learning this new craft of attempting to find the truth amongst a tsunami of lies. Cafe Locked Out works alongside of W.A Independent Media Groups’ Robyn Jackson-Stegner from Courage is the Cure, Tom Vogal, PJ and Wayne from the WTF show, Mark ‘Batty’ Batts from North Queensland Freedom Network, Leon who hosts ‘KOFY Time’, and most recently coming aboard is ‘MsListersSis’ Kate Henwood who will soon have her own show. And our resident Dr in the Cafe is Paul Oosterhuis, on with Michael Sunday evenings.

The question we are asking ourselves now is, “ Is Cafe locked Out still relevant?” Meaning; as people appear to be living as though ‘things have gone back to normal, are we having any effect, ’

Personally we are not seeing, hearing or sensing ‘normality’.

And with the rabid push to remove humans from the workforce with automation, AI and actual human like robots taking over our jobs, the distortion of our history by the woke agenda, the introduction of digital identity, and the push to bring in the mis and disinformation bills, as a way to silence us all, and then AI taking over our ability to create art itself,  – we feel we are in historic times, where the humans are facing a crisis of identity, meaning, and worth.    

The Polish solidarity movement did not happen overnight. It took a long time and there was a lot of infighting. However, the one thing they did have was a profound symbol: a candle in the window, signifying hope.

We believe that Cafe Locked Out, and podcasts like it, have to be that candle in the window.

For whilst many are yet to join us, and perhaps most won’t, if there comes a time when some of them finally get sick of the deepening tyranny, then we need to be there as a stubborn light of liberty in the darkness.  

But that candle will need fuel in the form of stories, brave voices and humour. We encourage anyone who shines a light in the shadows or celebrates the beauty and responsibility of being a human being to come forth and join the Cafe Locked Out Community.

Therefore we are always open to hear from those who are suffering, or dealing with loss. Stories of those of us who have forged their own way towards a life of self-sufficiency, or any story or idea that you think will help in the battle for all of us to remain pertinent and valued in a time where so much seems geared to making us humans feel redundant.

But why should we, or any of us bother?

Because we believe that our country is racing towards a direction that the majority of us do not want to go to, a silent world of too much government control, and the best weapon we have against this silent storm, is keep doing what we have always done, talk openly and share the voices of the bravest Australians.
