There are two larger videos on Ben Swann's 'Reality Check' segment on Pizzagate that I have happened to come across. One is Ben Swann's own Youtube video, which supposedly has about 15k views, and there is another (channel David Dobbs) with about 100k views. The video Swann posted on his Facebook page currently has over 500,000 views and 20,000 shares.
If you search for Ben Swann Pizzagate on Youtube, only a handful of videos on the subject show up, with an average of about 2k views. Neither Ben Swann's own video or the David Dobbs video show up on Youtube search. Youtube has been caught repeatedly modifying view counts to make a movement seem insignificant and memory-holing/de-listing viral videos, and this appears to be another example.
As noted, CBS has also taken down Swann's video from their website 'our apologies, page is currently unavailable' (http://www.cbs46.com/clip/13036440/reality-check-is-pizzagate-fake-news)).
I encourage everyone to test this out to confirm whether it is happening with respect to Youtube.

This stuff and the attempted clamp down here on voat remind me of the natural mechanics of a volcano, which explodes after the pressure of containment becomes too much. Get ready for pizzagate to explode into national consciousness folks, we are seeing and hearing the rumblings of it now, and the greater the Establishment tries to clamp a lid on it, the greater the force of the eruption will be.

I saw a few articles popping up insinuating that Pizzagate is dead, and no longer active. (HuffPost, etc.) They're trying to make it seem like we have a lost cause. Ben Schwann came at just the right time. WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY THIS TIME I am most worried that this investigation will simply stagnate and we will never prosecute these devils. The enthusiasm of this community does seem to indicate that this will keep getting bigger, by strides. How many of us are there? Are we still growing in number? Are 99% of people too lazy to care about high crimes? Do people not use the Internet for researching things about which they heard in person very often?

Here's the censorship proof. From 10am EST Jan 19
Archive of the search page where none of the top videos appear: http://archive.is/SSbMO
And here are three copies of it that have far more views/likes than the videos they show in the search page:
Archive of google search page for site:youtube.com ben swann pizzagate http://archive.is/wWw49 where the 173k views video appears first as expected. Showing that youtube is doing the overt censorship, while google search itself might not be.

If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way - Dreyfus : His Life and Letters (1937) edited by Pierre Dreyfus.

I like the way you think and think very much the same.
