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 here.
As long as good men (and women) speak out against atrocities, evil cannot persist. Welcome back Mark!
