The Return Of XenuTV To YouTube - Mark Bunker’s Account Reinstated
The Church of Scientology must be feeling really enturbulated lately. Each time they think they have a “win” as it were, the righteous hands of fate laugh and fart in their general direction.
Back about six weeks ago, what could only have been someone with close ties to the Church of Scientology tipped off YouTube to the fact that Mark Bunker, of Xenutv.com (also affectionately known as “Wise Beard Man” or “WBM” for short) had a second account on the video channel. This was significant as YT’s rules state if your first account is closed for any reason (even temporarily) you are prohibited from opening another. Mark’s first account was closed due to a copyright violation based on a Steven Colbert clip Bunker posted on his first account.
On the eve of Mark Bunker, a long-time critic of the Church of Scientology, an organization most consider a money-making cult (including this author) was to release the full-length video of popular actor Jason Beghe’s video denouncing his former “faith”, Bunker’s second account was also closed.
The internets were abuzz and YouTube was universally panned and ridiculed for inappropriately taking sides in the fight between internet activist group Anonymous’ and Scientology. In retrospect, without *really* knowing what went on behind the scenes, YouTube (owned by Google) was likely working on an alternative which would allow them to supercede their own policy, without also setting a bad precedent.
Whatever the case was, (although we will dig for more info) both of Mark Bunker’s channels are back, and more importantly, so are his YT stats and subscriptions. You can visit Mark’s channel Xenutv here, and Xenutv1 here.
As long as good men (and women) speak out against atrocities, evil cannot persist. Welcome back Mark!

Yay

They got YouTube to cancel his account and offered them a big chunk of advertisement money. Shortly after the Scientolgy YouTube account was set up and big bucks paid for advertisement.
The advertisements are gone now and Marks account re-appears.. Coincidence??? Nawwww

Week after week, flunk after flunk. The world is watching you scientology….closely and laughing.
Comment by MomAnon — June 3, 2008 @ 1:02 am
What a week. First in NY we get their “Reverend” John Carmichael saying “I smell Pus..!” on tape, then the head of the Plymouth mission Vicky Boyce stealing signs and assaulting an Anon who uses a mobility scooter on tape and now WBM is back on YT - both accounts!!!!
Are you feeling it yet OSA? I pity the person who has to tell DM about this. FLUNK, FLUNK, FLUNK!

Maybe we’ve got some smart folks up at Google.

So very glad YouTube HAS finally done the RIGHT thing here. I admire Mr. Bunker and look forward to more of his vids on YT. $cientology fails! Yeah!
Comment by Joanne — June 3, 2008 @ 3:23 am
Perhaps Google has again aligned its corporate behavior with its good ole mission statement: “Don’t be evil.” Silencing Mark Bunker while enabling the “church” of Scientology to proselytize through paid advertisements and a paid channel would be… hmmm… yup: Evil!
Congrats, WBM!
Welcome back to the side of good, Youtube and Google! We missed you.

Oh PLEASE let there be OSA trolls posting in this article. I’ve been missing them a lot lately. Too many epic losses and failures for Scientology this week, they must all be hiding. Even knowing about the fails means they’re downstat and responsible.
Go go, wise beard man. Your wise beardinss has once again won the internet.

What fantastic news to wake up to this morning! Someone at You Tube must have finally looked long and hard at the videos and the will of the internetz to finally realize what is going on here. The dominos keep falling at a rapid rate and D your stamin is amazing at keeping up. Congrats to WBM. BOTH ACCOUNTS! WHAT A FREAKIN A WIN!!!!!

That reminds me, it is amazing that they reinstated BOTH accounts. I would’ve assumed only WBM’s secondary account would be revived.

OSA, the writing is on the wall. You cannot win this fight. Get out before you get personally blamed and end up in the RPF. This will only get worse for you–people are awake and are not going to sit silently by anymore.
This movement has literally gone viral. You go after anyone of us and a 100 more will spring into action. Look at how many new anti-scientology videos and youtube accounts are created every day. You can’t possibly keep up, and you know it. And the beauty of it is that we don’t need to be told what to do because we are acting as individuals, according to your own principles. That is what REAL ethics are.
Ask yourselves why Mike Rinder blew? He was your boss, but he wasn’t *really* in charge was he? His position existed only on paper. He was assigned an impossible task, on which was destined to fail, and when it did, COB beat the crap out of him.
Think about it, is that what you want to look forward to? The RPF or even worse, SP Hall? Think about it OSA readers. It is not too late to reclaim YOUR lives.

Great news!

Way to go Wise Beard Man! Another win for Freedom of Speech. Thanks Dawn for the great coverage!
Comment by gary — June 3, 2008 @ 11:08 am
I suspect the $cientologists posting on you tube aren’t quite so glib anymore about their ability to get WBM’s account removed.
This is fantastic. And the downward spiral continues…

Ha such a win, and only days after Forbes discovered the Scientology was playing Google and Youtube a lot of money for their Scientology adverts and ‘branded’ channel.(At least $200,000, maybe several millions during the month long Scientology PR campaign.)
Ooo… being caught with evidence that seriously hints Youtube can be bought, must have been a PR bomb for Google. Me think XenuTV came back as PR fire control.

What a boost to go into Operation Sea Arrrgh with!
So much epic WIN and so many footbullets and FAIL! All this new ammunition in our hands(live & in color)to add to the arsenal of overwhelming TRUTH. I really am proud to be apart of this. As should all, to many times people see a great injustice yet FAIL to act, because they “think” it does not effect them until it is to late. Or they expect someone else to provide there freedom and protection, while they turn a blind eye to what is going on. This is just a beautiful thing to experience people from all walks of life, across the world standing up as ONE.
Expect Us

The fake ‘church’ of $cientology even has banner ads on this website. We should stop visiting sites that have banner ads for this cult.

Actually, it’s important to click them– the CoS has the shit out money every click, and if you’re not joining…
…well, that’s flushed money. =P

Dawn,
Excellent news! And thanks for all the broadcasts too, they really make a difference!

I watch the videos from $cientology’s video channel for the laughs. That they have to pay every time I click on one is just a bonus.
Comment by Rachel — June 3, 2008 @ 4:54 pm
Yes lets all do what Pat said and click those banner ads repeatedly. Also David Miscavige is still squirreling the tech.

David Miscaviage and the other insane crooks running the Scientology bait-and-switch must be shitting themselves in anger, hate, and frustration that people have the right to expose what Scientology is and what Scientology does. Man, I can imagine the sinking feeling that the crime bosses must feel every time their revenu reports come in thanks to the ARSCC and now Anonymous working so well to truthfully and accurately expose the syndicate.
As a Wise Bearded Man once said, Welcome to the Internets, bitches!
My opinions only and only my opinions, as always.
