Missing ALIPAC Youtube Video of Ft. Lauderdale Assaults

ALIPAC · Last edited by ALIPAC on Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:38 am; edited 1 time in total

Friends of ALIPAC and members of the media,

I regret to inform everyone that our video on our YouTube account of ALIPAC1 named Tea Party Protesters Assaulted by Illegal Alien Amnesty Supporters in Ft. Lauderdale has been pulled down from public view due to an unfair complaint lodged by a Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images, Inc.

Wayne Eckert and his brother filmed the attack on Tea Party protesters conducted by pro Amnesty supporters who were members of ANSWER.

Eckert's team notified me of their video via a message on Facebook this past Sunday Nov. 15. I asked them to call me and promptly received a call from Channel 1 Images from a man who identified himself as Wayne Eckert.

I interviewed him about the incident and he offered us a copy of the video. Not only did he offer us a copy, but he uploaded the copy with the audio on it per my request. I gave Mr. Eckert the password to our YouTube account and he released the video for us by uploading the high quality copy to our YouTube account ALIPAC1.

We all worked very hard this week at great expense of time, energy, and funds to get that video out to America. By tonight, hundreds upon hundreds of websites and online news sources had linked into our copy of the video.

The number of views the video had received was approaching 200,000 when I received an email from Wayne Eckert telling me we were infringing on they copyright for the video. I told him we would have to debate that in court because he had given us permission to use and release the video and had even uploaded it to our account and released it through us with his own hand! Wayne Eckert never informed us that the video was copyrighted and no copyright was mentioned before we received his email notice tonight a few minutes before Youtube pulled the video down.

Unfortunately, Mr. Eckert had sent in his complaint to YouTube. YouTube has pulled the video and we have filed a DMCA Counter-Notification however, it may take up to ten days for the video to be restored on our account. We have solid proof that Wayne Eckert gave us permission to use the video and that he even uploaded it for us, so we can handle things in court no problem.

Unfortunately, Mr. Eckert is currently abusing us through YouTube's copyright processes and procedures.

In doing so, he has disrupted a lot of work and made a lot of illegal alien supporters very happy. That video was causing great political damage to the pro amnesty lobby due to ALIPAC's extensive network of contacts built up over the last five years which gives us the ability to bring so much attention to a video.

We are issuing an advisory to all of our supporters, allied immigration enforcement groups, and Tea Party organizers about this situation.

We apologize to all of our friends and allies in the movement who have been working so hard to get the video to the public.

It is terribly unfortunate that Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images has chosen to take actions that will greatly harm the efforts of those of us fighting to prevent violence against Americans who are exercising their rights as was seen in this video.

Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images may try to contact allied groups in the future and we want all of our contacts to know that if you are looking for videographers who can be counted on when something like this happens at your events, you might want to get someone besides Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images.

Ironically, Wayne Eckert has not filed copyright infringement claims against the five other people on youtube with copies of his video. Many of the other copies are in the hands of illegal alien supporters. ALIPAC never distributed copies of the video but some others copied them on Youtube which usually happens.

Our ability to warn the nation and entire Tea Party movement about potential threats to the physical well being of their participants and to seek political changes to protect the rights of Americans who are being threatened by radical leftists has been terribly damaged tonight by the unfair and duplicitous actions of Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images.

We wanted all of you to know what had happened to the video and we are mounting this notice on our homepage to deal with the resulting fallout from the video being removed.

We do promise you all that we will do all in our power to get YouTube to restore the video as soon as possible, to get the word out about what happened in other ways, and to try to persuade Mr. Wayne Eckert of Channel 1 Images not to continue harming organizations and causes by giving permissions to use a video, uploading it for organizations, and then asking YouTube to pull the video down afterward.

We intend to pursue legal action against Wayne Eckert and Channel 1 Images next week, to recover our losses and damages resulting from their actions uploading the video to our account and then filing complaint with YouTube to pull it down after we invested so much time, energy, and funds into telling people to watch the video.

Sincerely,

William Gheen

Anti-Tea Party Tide Turning Bloody
Experts worry fights may be next wave

Newser) – Fistfights at tea party rallies over the weekend have some analysts worried that the violent backlash may be only just beginning. In Fort Lauderdale, anti-tea party activists chanting "Amnesty yes, racists no!" clashed with tea party protesters who entered their protest zone. The group had emailed members calling for "a militant confrontation" with "tea-baggers," the Christian Science Monitor reports. http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2009/11/18/violence-at-tea-party-rally-bare-knuckle-politics-in-the-streets/

Che Guevara supporters with a radical pro-amnesty coalition viciously attacked and bludgeoned tea party protesters at a Florida anti-illegal-immigration rally, including a 62-year-old man who was beaten and kicked in the face.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC called for "Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration" to form quickly across the nation on Nov. 14. In less than 30 days, protests were scheduled for more than 50 towns and cities.

But two Fort Lauderdale, Fla., tea party protesters were brutally beaten by pro-amnesty activists on the day of the nationwide rally as they attempted to film Florida's Act Now to Stop War and End Racism Coalition counterprotest.

ANSWER members carried Che Guevara signs and other black and yellow placards that stated "Full rights for all immigrants." They shouted, "Amnesty yes, racists no!"

As the two men attempted to film the protest, an ANSWER member in a black tanktop and blue jeans lunged after one of the cameramen and beat him with a sign, pushing him into traffic. Another ANSWER member in a white T-shirt attacked the same cameraman while the victim defended himself with what appears to be a camera tripod.

A female tea party protester began screaming as Dave Caulkett of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement and the initial ANSWER attacker fought in the middle of the street.

I knew violence would rear it's ugly face when the illegal aliens realized that we (American Citizens)are not going to take this amnesty bulls_ _ _ _ lying down. I'm a 54 yr.old Grandma and I will gladly take an ass kickin' for my country if I have to. BTW, I detest violence but that is all these 3rd world illegals know. Evil or Very Mad

I feel this is happening because The SEIU thugs are threatening him!

There is no other reason for it.

Has anyone seen in the FT Lauderdale papers if the cops there did anything?
I called them and sent the video about 1 hour after "W" posted it.........
They had not heard anything about it.
I told them the faces of the thugs was in the videos.

I just feel that the Whitehouse and SEIU are behind this! Not to mention racists in La Raza and the EVER CORRUPT ACLU!

If you have proof take the "srekcuskcoc" to COURT!

Youtube is a leftist site Anything that shows the left in a bad light gets removed. The video shows two or three pro Amnesty protesters violently assault the two camera men. grounds for a criminal assault charge. Its on video too to prove it. Maybe post it on Liveleak next time.

I prefer simpler interpretation. Perhaps you and Channel 1 Images should have used Revver, Vimeo or Blip which have advertising and pay a per centage to the videographer. That way they would have less to complain about. I contacted another organiztion with a suggestion they protest Schumer and made the same suggestion about video sites so they could get paid. Better yet have cameramen of your own who will not mind generating free advertising material.

I have looked at some other YouTube sites that have the same video and they have been doctored to make it look like it was the Tea Party people who were the aggressors. And just who was the guy who came running across the street to start everything?

I think YouTube should pull down all the other sites until this is resolved.

Sounds like you were set up. Not surprising, the direction the media is going. Do these people even know who Che was? He came from a wealthy Argentinan family, was well educated, fought with Castro, went to Bolivia & was killed there. None of these "revolutionaries" really give a hoot about the peasants. They care about POWER, & they use whatever means that is convenient. Look around, take a good look at the "Brave New World" created by these despots. Cuba, Venezuela, No. Korea, Iran, Lybia, Zimbabwe (sp.), etc. I could go on, but even the dim & the dumb should get it by now. Is this where we are headed? If we allow our laws to be subverted by aliens who refuse to assimilate & an indifferent govt., we will lose our sovereignty. We will not recognize the America that emerges.
