I found a copy of the Chris Hedges interview of Helen Buyniski. I had to use an older version of Firefox (version 52.9.0, 32-bit) and I had to make sure the link to the page was "http://" and NOT "https://". I tried using my old version of Chrome, but I had no luck with Chrome.
The link I used on Firefox is this:

It works okay on my Linux Firefox. Not surprised it doesn't work on Chrome--people bitched about Internet Explorer 20 years ago, but Chrome is now the paragon of "evil" intrusive browsers. Idiots love it because it is "fast and sexy" or whatever. And Google has managed to frighten website coders into making everything work best on Chrome, and to hell with the others.
It's because YouTube screwed over Chris Hedges by deleting his entire RT archive. "RT America" went down the tube, apparently due to U.S. government pressure.
And YT is owned by Google. Which is running around chasing every easy dollar it can find--including government contracts and all sorts of classified work. Thus, it's a "compromised platform". I would not post any videos I make on YT at this point, political content or not.
Daniel, I wish you would put up Google Watch again. Perhaps on a foreign server, on the "dark web", or something else they can't get pulled down.
Do a search for it today and the first hit is
Chris Beasley's whiny little website from 2003. Are Google's nimrods paying him to keep that crap online?
My expertise on the Internet is with static files only, and I don't have a clue about how to transfer and save video files. I suspect they take up a lot of disk space, and are beyond the means of someone like me with modest resources.
There's not much you can do. Archive sites rarely save video files. Especially if they're on YouTube. As years go by, the "public internet" becomes less anarchic and more screwed-down, for the deep and lasting pleasure of the biggest corporations. And it could be worse, you could be trying to criticize Facebook.
