Private/Unlisted YouTube Videos of U.S. Government Agencies

Background

Many U.S. government agencies and military branches have public YouTube pages. That is no secret. However, within these channels, lies a hidden treasure trove of PRIVATE/UNLISTED videos NOT accessible by the general public.

Through the Freedom of Information Act, The Black Vault along with another researcher has tackled trying to get access to these videos listings. That researcher has donated the requests they did, along with the documents, to the archive below. However, they asked for their identifying information to be redacted.

The below lists can then be used to request the videos themselves.

There are numerous more open FOIA requests for these pages, which will be added below. Visit often, as there are many more to be added soon.

By clicking on the government agency name below, you will get the FOIA response and in most cases, the list of videos. I have also marked the release date, in order to show the timeframe of when the released list existed.

Within hours of the Commerce Department's announcement

The Biden administration removed dozens of Chinese companies from a trade restriction list the same day a top U.S. official announced her trip to Beijing for “constructive discussions” amid stabilization efforts with China.

The U.S. Commerce Department announced on Tuesday that Secretary Gina Raimondo will meet with Chinese officials and American business leaders to discuss “issues relating to the U.S.-China commercial relationship, challenges faced by U.S. businesses, and areas for potential cooperation,” during a visit to Beijing on Sunday. The Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) removed 27 Chinese companies from its unverified list the same day of the announcement, making it easier for those companies to trade with the U.S, according to a Tuesday press release from the BIS.

“We welcome the U.S. decision to remove Chinese entities from the “unverified list,” Liu Pengyu, spokesman for China’s Embassy in the U.S., said in a tweet on Tuesday. “It shows that [China and the U.S.] can address specific concerns through communication, based on mutual respect. China will continue to firmly defend its lawful rights and interests.”

Foreign companies registered on the unverified list are subject to enhanced trade restrictions and greater transparency requirements with the U.S., according to the BIS website. Companies are placed on the list if the U.S. cannot verify their legitimacy for the end use or end user of items they receive exports from, according to the Code of Federal Regulations.

Twenty-seven Chinese companies were removed from the unverified list by BIS within hours of the Commerce Department’s announcement that Raimondo would be traveling to Beijing for diplomatic discussions.

“The ability to verify the legitimacy and reliability of foreign parties receiving U.S. exports through the timely completion of end-use checks is a core principle of our export control system,” said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod, according to a press release from BIS. “Our removal of 33 parties demonstrates the concrete benefit companies receive when they or a host government cooperates with BIS to complete a successful end-use check.”

Raimondo’s Beijing visit comes one month after her email server, along with other servers in the Commerce and State Department, was breached by a Chinese-based hacking group that targeted dozens of global organizations over a months-long cyber attack campaign.

The Commerce Department and the BIS did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

St. Louis Mayor Announces Plans to Outlaw AR-15s, AK-47s and Military-Style Weapons – Hopes Criminals Will Comply

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones announced plans to introduce legislation to ban AR-15s, AK-47s and military-style weapons.

The move will make it easier for criminals to blast their way through the city.

Jones also wants to ban celebratory gunfire – something that is prevalent in black neighborhoods in the city on New Year’s Eve and other occasions.

And Tishaura Jones wants to take guns away from those individuals who are convicted of an insurrection or hate crimes. That’s important.

FOX2 Now reported:

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones plans to introduce new legislation that would ban AR-15s, AK-47s and similar “military-grade” weapons on city streets.

In a Tuesday morning press conference, Jones announced her intent to introduce new gun safety legislation with support from the Board of Aldermen.

Jones said the legislation would be designed to…

Prohibit military-grade weapons on city streets

Prevent the transfer or sale of guns to minors

Take action on military-grade guns and similar untraceable firearms

Prepare St. Louis for the passage of Blair’s Law to ban celebratory gunfire

Prohibit anyone convicted of insurrection or hate crimes from having guns in St. Louis

Jones says this push comes in an effort to tackle gun violence in St. Louis City.

“Gun violence is a public health crisis that impacts families and communities in every neighborhood across our city,” said Jones. “We’re coming together around a shared vision: A safer, stronger St. Louis that is ready to stand up for our values.”

Last month Mayor Jones’s leaked text messages revealed the mayor was not a true believer in gun control. In one text message she told her father, “Chicago has strict gun laws as well but that doesn’t deter gun violence.”
