The expression “hind-site is 2020” has a new meaning. It used to mean looking back gives us clarity. We have often used the phrase I have twenty-twenty vision meaning perfect vision. I am not sure that the events that took place in the year 2020 has given clarity to everyone. To many it has revealed many dark things that used to be below the surface and now have been brought to the light for all to see. But to others I feel that the events which began March of 2020 and still continue to this day have fogged up the minds of the sheople those who have always accepted the “status quo” and trust the authorities and the talking heads on the idiot box who are quickly becoming irrelevant as their lies are being exposed. But I am not going to dig deep into that. If you know, you know and if you don’t you don’t know. The responsibility to know is yours and I have no designs to be your teacher.
The events of 2020 turned nearly everything upside down. We all have our stories. I have a few but I will focus on just one of my stories at this time. Prior to the year 2020 I had a very successful teaching career (Art Teacher of 17 years), a successful Etsy Shop with a thriving international business, plus a Facebook and Twitter account. Without making a long story I will just say that my openly political views on Facebook made me into a target as if I had a mark on my head. I was first banned from Twitter, then Etsy destroyed my business (which I will explain more in a little bit) and then I was forced off of Facebook via direct harassment inside my Private Messaging Box after a certain event of which I attended in January of 2021. Yes, FB opened my DM box to their trolls to openly send me nasty, hateful, hurtful messages from people who were not on my friend list. It used to be that those type of messages were directed to an “Others” folder and I needn’t be bothered by them but after I posted an album of photos from the controversial event FB did everything they could to drive me away from their platform. I could not block them. I had already been considering leaving the platform anyway because being there had become so frustrating with all of the censorship, and flagging of posts FB deemed as “Partly false” or “mostly false” or “disinformation” My friends who enjoyed my posts begged me to stay saying I had taught them so much. Many of them depended on me to actually inform them of the TRUTH the REAL NEWS. I guess Facebook deemed me as trouble. Perhaps I was being effective in my communication so I and many others like me had been deemed “needed to be stopped.” They banned some and drove the rest of us away.
So in January of 2021 I pulled away from Social Media all of it but Instagram where I post mostly my creative projects and almost nothing political. Yes, I know Facebook owns Instagram so they know who I am but I hardly think my posts there are a threat to them so they leave me alone. Oh, they probably suppress my posts just like YouTube does because as I have already told you “there is a mark on my head” because I do not swallow the “status quo.” I refuse to comply. I believe in being honest and truthful and that position has cost me dearly.
It was a nice break actually to pull away from social media. My creative pursuits keeps me busy enough without that distraction. I also realized that in removing myself from the task of feeding information, informing my friends of what is really going on was a burden lifted off my shoulder. It is not my job to be your teacher. As adults you are responsible for educating yourself and need not be spoon-fed. And if you don’t know what is really happening it is your fault. The TRUTH is available and accessible to those who seek for it.
Seven months into the Plandemic Etsy shut down my most successful selling product. I was busy at my sewing machine full-time shipping out multiple packages daily. I mailed packages to 45 different U.S. states and to 5 other countries. I began making this product (pictured above) in April even donating the first 450 to “the cause” I wanted to create a great product meeting the need. Along the way I was researching materials, filters, and the Cvd plaque (the C word we cannot speak of lest we be punished) to understand more of how to make a more effective product. I invested about $1,000.00 purchasing materials and shipping supplies. As time passed and my understanding grew I realized that perhaps this products was not good and only adding to the situation not actually benefiting people. I saw another need and created a product (pictured below) similar but different to meet the growing demand for it. I had the perfect ad, a great photo, and a truthful but sarcastic description. It even had humor in it. Business picked up and they were selling like hot cakes. A guy from California called me to make some for his entire girls ball team. It was a rush order because they had a game scheduled. I met his deadline. My product had great reviews and people were so thankful for them. In August I had my biggest month ever over $3,000 in sales all made with my sewing machine.
But there were some Karen’s who didn’t like my product. At least four of those Karens sent me a message through Etsy complaining, and attacking me personally telling me to take down the product. They were among the brainwashed fools who trust the authorities and everything being spewed out as fact when it was not. The truth is creeping out now. Who goes to businesses and makes complaints on a product you never purchased. Nobody is twisting your arm to buy them so why go to the effort to make a complaint? Then finally one of them reported my product to Etsy and my ad was removed stating “disinformation” No, it was absolutely truthful. I was fully transparent and was not pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes. My customers were so happy for the product. I searched Etsy to discover that lots of people were selling something similar and their ads were still up. Why am I be singled out, punished? My Etsy account was linked with my Facebook Business account. All of these conveniences are really your enemy when you cross their line. Etsy left me no recourse to defend my position at all. They took her report and killed my ad just like that in an instant. I had no defense. I had been realizing that Etsy was a WOKE company. I read their emails with all their talk about “inclusiveness” and “earth friendly green” gobbledygook. So I set all my product to expire when it was time to renew them and come the next January I shut down my shop where I used to sell my Art, Beach signs, baskets, and so much more.
All I had left was my YouTube channel but I made a parody video, which I thought was clever and funny mocking the insane things that are pushed on us. After that video YouTube also crushed me. I guess I hit all the points. My YouTube channel is NOT even a political channel. It is mostly an Arts & Crafts channel with some DIY home repairs and chickens. There was a time before 2020 that I was getting 30,000 to 40,000 views a month. Those numbers dropped to half after this video (above) was posted. I am a political target just because I have an independent thought. They are out to destroy me because I resist their “talking points.”
One of my 21,000+ subscribers commented “Oh a new video, I haven’t seen a Debra Carmona video in a while.” Really? I had been posting a video every week for well over a year. Are you telling me that YouTube is even hiding me from my own subscribers? I know they no longer suggest my videos to people and less people are finding my videos in a Google search. Some of my videos used to be on the top of Google Search engines. So I have to work harder. Now I post two videos every week but my numbers are still falling. I search for similar content from other channels and see that they get hundreds of thousands of views if not millions of views but I am lucky to get 100 for very similar content. Everything has changed for me. I feel like I am swimming uphill. But will it change me? NO!! I will NOT conform. I remain steadfast to stand only for what is right, good, and honest. I cannot lie nor be deceptive. My hope is that things will change, that justice will be served, evil will be cast down, censorship will stop, the fake news will become real again, free speech will be restored, and the internet will be more fair again. So in the meantime I will continue to just do me and press on like the turtle. My success as a YouTube Content Creator may be slow growing but it will catch on one day in the near future.
If you have reached this far and have any understanding and want to support me go visit my channel and watch a few, leave me a good comment, and give it a thumbs up, and perhaps share one you like. All of that will help my channel to grow and help me reach a broader audience.www.youtube.com/debracarmona
