PTSD? YouTube Doesn't Care

Well YouTube just blocked another video of mine. PTSD After Trauma has been blocked so I pulled it. I'm not fighting them anymore. Take a look across YouTube and you'll find music video after music video but mine, well there about PTSD and to help people cope with it. They are for educational use and I have a Creative Commons license for share and share alike. That doesn't matter. You can't talk to anyone there to have them explain this either. They send back a form letter explaining absolutely nothing.

When War Comes Home Part Two uses two songs by Toby Keith. They blocked that one. I muted the music then they decided to let the music back in but I couldn't get it to play. Then I pulled it, tried to upload it again but they wouldn't allow it. They blocked Women At War, along with others. This is why all of my videos are being pulled from YouTube the end of the month. I can't take this anymore. They will be up on my web site at http://www.namguardianangel.com/ and soon they'll be uploaded here from the site.

Women At War video blocked

Taking a couple of days off and just checked my email. Looks like YouTube has just blocked another video. Women At War will no longer be available. Over 11,000 hits and now they block it. This is the email I received. Guess that if you have Creative Commons and do this all for free to help women with PTSD find the support and understanding they need, it doesn't matter to anyone anymore. This is just one more example of why I am so frustrated with doing these videos. If anyone wants to see the video still, it's on my web site at www.namguardianangel.com
It will stay up there until I receive word to pull it down, but they will have to explain to me what the problem is. You cannot talk to YouTube or Google and get them to explain how a video like this bothers the artist.

Women At War and PTSD
We forget how many women go into combat and have since wars first began. They die. They get wounded bodies and minds. They also suffer beyond what is "normal" conditions for men because of their gender. This is for all the women who serve in the military.

11,501 hits and 35 comments for a video on PTSD for women veterans at a time when women veterans need it the most and they block the video! Nice work pulling something like this but it's not the first video of mine they've done this to.
