    Default "Hold-up": the documentary

    I am going to share with you two articles about a film released on November 11 which was funded by more than 5,000 Internet users in the form of donations and which receives criticism from the official media

    How the documentary "Hold-Up" fooled crowdfunding platforms

    The producers of this controversial documentary on Covid-19 collected nearly 200,000 euros on Ulule, and more than 100,000 euros on Tipeee, provided the project is validated there ...
    By Louise Wessbecher

    COVID-19 - On the crowdfunding platforms Ulule and Tipeee, the hold up is total. The controversial and conspiratorial documentary , posted online this Wednesday, November 11, intends to attack "an incredible and phenomenal global manipulation company" in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic according to its producer Christophe Cossé. And if it was able to see the light of day, it is thanks to an enormous mobilization of Internet users who financed it and continue to do so.

    If his relay by personalities particularly followed on social networks, from actress Sophie Marceau (500,000 subscribers) to reality TV candidate Kim Glow (1 million subscribers) undeniably shed light on the documentary “Hold- up ”the day of its release, the craze for this production qualified as“ conspiratorial propaganda ”and“ fake news on fake news ”by many politicians and scientists was first born on crowdfunding platforms.

    A “Hold-Up” of 300,000 euros with Internet users

    Because if the producers of “Hold-Up” were able to record and edit the testimonies of the former Minister of Health Philippe Douste-Blazy (who has since distanced himself from the documentary), of the infectious disease specialist Christian Perronne, a fervent supporter by Didier Raoult and already criticized by the Ministry of Health for having cast “discredit” on health professionals, or ex-LREM deputy Martine Wonner, it is thanks to the hundreds of thousands of euros collected online . In August 2020, TProd and Tomawak, the film's production companies, created a kitty on Ulule. The money raised must be used to “pay for the days in the recording studio, the mixing, the TV archives, the English translations and the production costs”.

    In less than four days, the goal of 20,000 euros is reached. And the collection continues over again until the sum of 182,970 euros in 1 st of October.

    Questioned by many Internet users since the publication of the documentary financed by Ulule, the CEO of the crowdfunding platform published a series of messages on Twitter this Thursday, November 12 in which he explains his position. He explains that the description of the project by its creators was deliberately “euphemized” to “pass moderation”, before the point was “radicalized during the campaign”.

    “The project was 'pitched' on August 11 on the platform. It launched on August 17. Very quickly we realized that it went beyond the supposed initial framework (the pluralism of voices) to become a standard of conspiracy theses far removed from what we defend on Ulule ”, he concedes.

    Aware that the “Hold up” project has “escaped” the vigilance of its moderators, Alexandre Boucherot indicates that the collection has not been deleted to “avoid any Streisand effect”, a media phenomenon which encourages the exposure of a publication whereas the goal was rather to disregard it, and that “the entire Ulule commission received on the project” will be donated ”to an association for the defense of information”.

    But Ulule is not the only collaborative platform that has made it possible to finance this project. This Monday, November 9, almost three months after the success of the fundraising on Ulule, a new fundraising campaign is launched on Tipeee this time.

    Here the stated objective of the producers is to “finance the additional cost of the archives and thus be able to find it legally and free of charge on platforms such as YouTube or Facebook so that it can be viewed by the greatest number, which is obviously our dearest wish. ” In less than 4 days again, the jackpot shows more than 110,000 euros connected thanks to some 5,000 “tipeurs”.

    Contacted by Le HuffPost on the moderation role of the platform around this collection, Tipeee did not respond to our requests. The founder Michael Goldman assured BFM Tech that “it is in any case one of the largest amounts, if not the most important, invested to date in Tipeee, in such a short time frame”.

    For the time being, the manager assures us that the “Hold-Up” project is “still being validated”: “Our teams validate nearly 150 projects per week and Hold-Up will be part of the lot examined by the end. of the week ”.

    If the pot is still online for the moment and Internet users can continue to contribute, a warning message was added at midday. He indicates that the platform has received “a large number of reports about potential false information on this page” and urges contributors to be cautious, referring to the “guide to fake news” published by the government.

    Hold Up: The success of the conspiracy film embarrasses the platforms that allowed it to exist

    Vimeo has just removed the conspiracy film Hold Up from its platform, after making it available to all Internet users for more than 24 hours. The undeniable success of this project, full of false information on Covid-19, shows how platforms can, knowingly or unwillingly, allow the propagation of dangerous theories.

    "Gone, baby, gone": When you go to the Hold Up movie page on Vimeo, there is nothing left except this message. On November 12, 2020, the 2:50 hour film was removed from the video platform, after being available for more than 24 hours.

    The day before, the controversial program had been put online: anyone could buy it for 9.99 euros (and download it on their computer) or rent it for 4.99 euros on VOD (video on demand).


    This feature film, which Numerama watched in full, has been the subject of very great controversy, justified, since its release on November 11, 2020, both for its content, but also for the way in which the web enabled it to gain impressive notoriety, recalling the role of platforms in the propagation of conspiracy ideas.

    Basically, we have chosen to treat the subject separately. The newspaper Liberation, which now reserves its front page for this phenomenon, has analyzed with precision the biggest lies spread by this "documentary", but the scale of the task is staggering. All the more so since a question cannot be avoided: when we are no longer in the field of facts, but of beliefs, can fact-checking succeed in reaching the most convinced minds, or will it be- used as further evidence of the "mainstream media grand conspiracy" and their "single thought"? It is certain that it can, in any case, be used to give tools to those who doubt, and that it is necessary to do so.

    On the form, it is inevitable that the undeniable success of Hold Up will turn it into a French case study of the responsibility of platforms in the propagation of conspiracy theories and disinformation. Of course, we can argue that the actress Sophie Marceau was able to influence a few subscribers by praising the merits of the film on her Instagram page (followed by 492,000 people), but that's not how the long (very long) footage has grown in popularity. Everything emerged online, thanks to several tools.

    A ULULE CAMPAIGN THAT EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

    Pierre Barnérias, the director of Hold Up, his production company Tprod and another called Tomawak, launched a crowdfunding campaign on August 17 on Ulule, the French leader specializing in crowdfunding. In a month and a half, they raised 182,000 euros from 5,232 contributors.

    The success is undeniable. Alexandra Boucherot, who co-founded Ulule and still runs the company, took to Twitter on November 12 to talk about it, and explain how her platform accepted funding for the conspiracy project. According to him, the director and his teams would have softened the "pitch" of their project in order to pass through the cracks of moderation, before switching to a "radicalization of the subject during the fundraising campaign".

    Yet when we go back to August 14, 2020 on TProd's Facebook page, we can already see in the first trailer released that the postulate of the film has strong conspiratorial accents: a geneticist claims that the masks can be dangerous for health (which is not true), a chief of infectious diseases assures that chloroquine is useful against the coronavirus (which is also false)… On August 22, Tprod publishes another message affirming that "we are 7 billion to have been taken hostage ”.

    PROJECTS WHICH "CONFLICT ITS MISSION OF DIVERSITY AND OPENING"

    On the 182,000 euros, Ulule received 10%. Alexandre Boucherot explains that this commission will be donated to "an association for the defense of information", because it is the way in which Ulule has chosen to manage projects which "contravene its mission of diversity and openness", as can be seen. read in an official publication from June 2020. This post is interesting to understand that platforms try to stand on a wobbly balance board: allow a certain plurality of opinions to exist online thanks to their tools, while knowing that the border is often fine with the dissemination of nauseating, even illicit messages.

    One thing is also clear: platforms like Ulule would have every choice to remove whatever they want from their system, as a third party company that owes nothing to anyone except to comply with the law. The decision to leave room for maneuver makes it possible not to expose oneself to accusations of censorship, but mechanically obliges us to accept that radical and harmful projects end up falling through the cracks of the moderation in place ("about twenty projects on more of 30,000, in ten years ”, says Alexandre Boucherot).

    OVER 120,000 EUROS PER MONTH ON TIPEEE

    “We have received a large number of reports about potential false information on this page or the content to which it redirects. When you open the Tipeee page on November 13, 2020, a large "pop-up" window will appear overlay. This is new: just a few days ago, this warning did not exist. Tipeee informs that its teams “are in contact with the competent bodies to judge the legality of the content offered by the creator and the legitimacy to have them financed on the platform. "

    Tipeee is a French platform that helps many people, especially influencers or Youtubers, to finance their projects and be financially supported by their fans. On November 11, 2020, Tprod's account had received pledges of 28,000 euros per month. Three days later, they are now at 123,000 euros per month, from 6,300 participants, which is quite simply unprecedented for the platform.


    However, the project has still not been "officially validated" by Tipeee, underlined the founder Michael Goldman in an interview with BFM Tech: "Our teams validate nearly 150 projects per week and Hold-Up will be part of the examined batch of here the end of the week (…) This is in any case one of the largest amounts, if not the most important, invested to date in Tipeee, in such a short time. "

    In 2018, Numerama published a major investigation into Tipeee’s gray areas. Because if the French platform helps many influencers, it also made it possible to finance controversial personalities, some of whom share conspiratorial content, while others even switch to incitement to hatred. At the time, the CEO of Tipeee brushed aside this responsibility: “Anyone has the right to create a Tipeee page. As long as our general rules and conditions are respected and no one has been questioned by the French courts on any content, we are not intended to select the creators according to what they think. We are not politicized, we are not intended to editorialize, we are a collection tool. "

    If Tipeee is consistent with its past course of action, the French platform would, it seems, have no reason to block Tprod funding. It remains to be seen whether the rules of moderation have evolved, and whether the risk of the spread of dangerous conspiratorial ideas (useful chloroquine, supposedly unnecessary masks, alleged absence of a second wave) is a sufficiently characteristic element not to support their dissemination. If Tipeee validated the Tprod page, then the company would get that 123,000 euros as early as next month.

    VIMEO ACCEPTS VIDEO, THEN REMOVE IT

    After Vimeo made the decision to no longer host Hold Up - contacted recently, the company has yet to respond to our questions, and has not publicly communicated on the matter - the film crew responded. quarter turn. Now on the official website, we see a huge "CENSORED" stamp affixed to the film's logo, as well as a link to the film in open access on an alternative platform - a new illustration of the now famous Streisand effect.

    The official website of the movie Hold Up On Tprod's official Facebook page, a screenshot was posted, presented as the message the production box reportedly received from Vimeo. It can read: "Your video was deleted because it does not respect our rules" then as a reason: "You cannot upload videos featuring or encouraging acts of self-harm, falsely claiming that disasters large-scale hoaxes, and making false or misleading claims about vaccine safety.


    If this message does come from Vimeo, it is clearly a personalized decision: the rules for using the platform do not mention “large-scale disasters” or vaccines as precisely, which would mean that the teams took the time to analyze the video at length and make a decision based on the general rules of the service.

    Despite this choice, the conspiratorial fake documentary can still be found online on many platforms, whether on Facebook, on Odysee or even ... on Vimeo, where the film has already been released online by other Internet users. However, we observe that some react: Facebook added a few hours ago, this November 13, a warning message on the Hold Up video, stressing that it contained "Partially false information (...) The same information was verified by independent auditing media in another publication. "

    ...

    ... and hostage taken:

    Accomplished pharma prof thrown in psych hospital after questioning official COVID narrative

    By Jeanne Smits, Paris correspondent
    Fri Dec 11, 2020 - 7:35 pm EST

    Early on December 10, Jean-Bernard Fourtillan was taken from his home by a team of French law enforcement officers and forcibly placed in solitary confinement at the psychiatric hospital of Uzès.

    Uzès, home of the psychiatric hospital where Jean-Bernard Fourtillan is being held against his will. Begir / Shutterstock.com

    December 11, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Early on December 10, Jean-Bernard Fourtillan, a French retired university professor known for his strong opposition to COVID-19 vaccines such as those presently being distributed in the U.K., was taken from his temporary home in the south of France by a team of “gendarmes” — French law enforcement officers under military command — and forcibly placed in solitary confinement at the psychiatric hospital of Uzès. His mobile phones were taken from him, and at the time of writing, he had not been allowed to communicate with the outside world. The order for his internment appears to have been issued by the local “préfet,” the official representative of the French executive.

    The systematic use of psychiatric hospitals in order to silence or punish political opponents became widespread under communism, having started shortly after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917. The method developed under Stalin and then expanded as opposition to the “socialist paradise” came to be considered a sign of mental illness. Under the 1966 penal code of the USSR, repression of dissidents openly targeted those who “spread false propaganda defaming the Soviet State and its social system.”

    Fourtillan, a longtime critic of vaccines that use dangerous adjuvants such as aluminum (the 11 compulsory vaccines for newborns in France contain 17 times the maximum dose of aluminum defined as toxic by the World Health Organization), has been vocal during the COVID-19 crisis. He offers “alternative” explanations and warnings regarding the apparition of the SARS-COV-2 virus and the ARN vaccines that work by injecting pieces of virus message ARN with nanolipids with the aim of causing human cells to start fabricating viral particles and to thus trigger an immunological reaction.

    In particular, Fourtillan has accused the French Institut Pasteur, a private non-profit foundation that specializes in biology, micro-organisms, contagious diseases, and vaccination, of having “fabricated” the SARS-COV-2 virus over several decades and been a party to its “escape” from the Wuhan P4 lab — unbeknownst to the lab’s Chinese authorities — which was built following an agreement between France and China signed in 2004.

    Relations between France and China regarding the project cooled over the years as China put its own interests first, but in 2017, France’s then–Interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, joined the official opening ceremony of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s P4 lab, together with Yves Lévy, co-president of the steering committee. Lévy is the husband of Agnès Buzyn, who was France’s health minister when the COVID-19 crisis erupted. She was also responsible for signing the decree that banned over-the-counter sales of hydroxychloroquine in France in January 2020.

    Is Jean-Bernard Fourtillan’s accusation true? While the Institut Pasteur has verbally announced that it would sue Fourtillan over the accusation, no judiciary action has been forthcoming on that front, and indeed, Fourtillan himself has since lodged a complaint against a spokesman of the Institute for “libel and lies that are prejudicial to the peoples of the world.”

    Fourtillan himself has said he hopes legal proceedings will allow him to produce evidence he has built up: he is in fact anxious to debate the issues at stake. Now that he is in a psychiatric hospital, the possibility of this happening — in the interest of discovering the truth — is becoming more remote.

    Among the public documents Fourtillan has analyzed and made public are patents for SARS-COV-1, which contains parts of the malaria virus, dating back to 2003. The patents were used by various labs to develop vaccines. Two thousand eleven saw the Institut Pasteur filing a further patent application for “SARS-COV-2,” which was identical to the previous one, according to Fourtillan, who says this was done because commercial exploitation of the first patent started in 2003 and would expire 20 years later, in 2023. According to Fourtillan, four sequences of the HIV virus — responsible for AIDS — were added to the virus, in view of creating further vaccines.

    This point was also raised in France last April by Prof. Luc Montagnier, who won the 2008 Nobel Prize for medicine for having discovered HIV in 1983 together with another French scientist, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi. Last April, Montagnier stated that the SARS-COV-2 virus was the result of a human manipulation. He was ridiculed by the mainstream media, but in August, an Italian microbiologist reached the same conclusion: Prof. Joseph Tritto published a book calling the Wuhan virus a “chimera.”

    Montagnier, who had worked with a mathematician, described his findings through an analogy. Imagine the coronavirus as a “puzzle” with 30,000 pieces, and then consider several other 9,000-piece puzzles representing HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV (another retrovirus close to the AIDS virus but targeting monkeys). If three pieces coming from each one of these smaller puzzles were to be found next to each other in the 30,000-piece puzzle, the probability of this having happened naturally would be nil. This is analogous to the presence of parts of the HIV sequence in SARS-COV-2, according to Montagnier.

    According to Fourtillan, the present virus causing COVID-19 is this artificial virus. Fourtillan — as well as other researchers of the present crisis — considers this indisputable evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned. He believes that on October 13, 2015, a patent application was filed for a COVID-19 test; this was followed by commercialization in the whole world in 2017 for a whopping 10 billion dollars.

    These claims are disputed on the grounds that the reference to the 2015 patent is only part of the later May 2020 patent, also filed by one Richard A. Rothschild, but was quoted as related to the remote diagnosis of COVID-19, enhancing the original patent as it were for the particular case of COVID-19.

    Who is right? A sincere, public assessment and debate would lift any confusion or error, voluntary or not, but Fourtillan is now being treated as if he were both dangerous and insane.

    Fourtillan gained widespread publicity when a recent film by Pierre Barnérias, giving a voice to critics of the official narrative, became viral in France. In Hold-Up, Fourtillan spoke of his concern that the COVID-19 crisis was fabricated and is being used to impose a dangerous vaccine on the world population.

    Fourtillan is himself familiar with patenting procedures, as his résumé shows, having personally filed some 400 patents in the medical field. The French internet medium France Soir described him as follows: “Jean-Bernard FOURTILLAN, Ph.D., Chemical Engineer, Pharmacist, Hospital Pharmacist, Professor of Therapeutic Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacology of the University of Poitiers, Expert Pharmacologist Toxicologist, specialized in Pharmacokinetics.”

    Fourtillan’s forced internment made no mention of the COVID-19 controversy, which to date has led to no judicial proceedings, instead being officially linked to a lawsuit that has been opened against him for illegal practice of medicine because of his work on a hormonal patch against neuro-degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and others affecting motricity, balance, and memory, as well as sleep disorders.

    His theory is that pollution, adjuvants such as aluminum in vaccines, and electro-magnetic interference destroy dark matter in the brain through lack of hormones, and he has — successfully, he claims — tested the administration of a hormone patch of valentonin and 6-Méthoxy-Harmalan (sleep and waking hormones), to compensate the damage, on 402 adults, himself included, who accepted the procedure under their sole responsibility and who were warned that the patch was not a drug, but a “technical sample, not for human use.” The procedure costs only a fraction of the price of newly developed drugs for these conditions.

    Fourtillan had had a good rapport with the judge charged with the preliminary investigation of the case, Brigitte Jolivet of Poitiers. During his first interrogations at the end of 2019, she appeared to be convinced by his arguments, and the case was proceeding normally.

    Last month, Fourtillan, who was staying in the south of France with his wife, was visited by four gendarmes coming from Marseille, who entered his rented cottage and asked for his computers. Although they had no search warrant, Fourtillan handed them over, saying he had nothing to hide, and that on the contrary, he was anxious to have his documents and methods assessed.

    He saw the gendarmes leave and hand over his computers to a man in plain clothes in a car nearby.

    Days later, his bank accounts and credit cards were suddenly blocked by an authority whose identity was not revealed to him. His pensions were also blocked.

    Fourtillan had been summoned to a hearing in the lawsuit concerning his valentonin “treatment” on December 4 in Paris. He did not go, invoking the fact that he now had no way of paying for a train ticket to the French capital.

    This information was given to LifeSite by a person who works with Fourtillan on the website http://verite-covid19.com/ and who knows him well — well enough to state that he “is certainly not insane,” having spent time with him recently.

    Six days later, on Thursday morning, gendarmes once more came to Fourtillan’s home and asked him to accompany them in order to answer questions about his refusal to join the December 4 hearing in Paris.

    Fourtillan agreed readily.

    However, from the moment he left his home with the law enforcement officers, he was not able to communicate with his family. One of his lawyers, Marc Fribourg — who has since gone on record saying that Fourtillan is a “conspiracy theorist” — revealed that he was taken to the Uzès psychiatric hospital of Le Mas Careiron, where he has been held since. His other lawyer, who previously commended Fourtillan for the efficiency of his hormonal patches, was not reachable today.
