Who remembers Norbert?

Norbert, the founder of FS Tube?

I appear to have landed upon a video of Norbert, in which he has put forward a long manifesto. It looks new, and it really is Norbert. Before I post the video, who remembers him?

I remember him from the first version of FreeSpeechTube (now FStube) and a episode of his interview. I hope he hasn't disappeared, like the speakers from "Pedologues" podcast. I'm waiting for the video.

Incidentally, I'm just listening at the last episode of the series. I hope they are still in the space, in 'incognito' mode.

This is very well written and spoken.
I have not heard of this guy, but he's clearly got a good head on his shoulders. It's good to hear he got out of Ecuador.
Where else has he posted this?

Mega, Dropbox, etc. I copied it to FST, since Norbert used to run a site called "FST" which might then be seen as part of his "illegal organisation".

Wait a minute... Is he the same Norbert who appears in the last episode of Pedologues? (see here for reference)

Everything he said is absolutely great.
What is missing for the complete ideal is references to the studies whose data he uses, so that doubters could be convinced that this data realy exists.

Wow, then he's a legend! So glad he is still kicking, it gives a sense of continuity and hope. He looks quite young in the video, that means either that the video is not very recent, or that at the time of the Pedologues interview (19 years ago) he was very young,... or it means that I cannot estimate age well! :D

Anyways, the lecture is so complete and well done, chapeau!
