This was going to be the final track for the SOULSIGMA CD, until I received permission from the original songwriter to include a cover of one of his songs on it as well. However, this is not the Rock Stars mix that will appear on the CD, this is the original Still in School mix. UATV subscribers, please remember that the paywall goes up in one week.
An announcement from UATV.
August has been a relatively quiet month on Unauthorized, as creators, viewers, and devs alike have been getting out and enjoying the dog days of summer. With global payments having returned in July, subscriptions have continued ticking upwards and the team has been able to spend some time on research and planning the future development of the platform.
While this naturally means that there aren’t many new developments to announce, we are pleased to report that the bank transfer payment system put in place last month has been successful enough to allow the reinstatement of the hard paywall. As of September 1st, an active paid subscription to Unauthorized will be required in order to view livestreams and/or published videos.
The plan is to give creators individual control over their content, so that specific videos of their choosing can be made available to the general public after publication. For now, livestreams will remain behind the paywall, at least until the chat system has received the upgrades it is due for.

Because sooner or later, YouTube is going to get rid of every single YouTuber who contradicts the Narrative.
YouTube has removed the 2-million-subscriber account of exiled Ukrainian Journalist of the Year Diana Panchenko, a fierce critic of Vladimir Zelensky. In 2023, Kiev imposed personal sanctions on the former TV presenter and started criminal proceedings against her for her alleged anti-Ukrainian reporting.
Panchenko has long criticized Zelensky for rampant corruption in Ukraine, as well as his clampdown on freedom of speech. She has also condemned Kiev’s military actions in Donbass since 2014, and later accused the former actor of dragging the nation into a “forever war.”
“Diana Panchenko @Panchenko_X is one of the most famous women in Ukraine, former Journalist of the Year and opponent of the grossly corrupt Zelensky regime,” Irish journalist Chay Bowes wrote on X on Friday. “YouTube just banned her and erased her account. She had 2 million followers,” he wrote. “The most dangerous weapon is Truth.”
Panchenko’s YouTube account is deleted as of the time of writing, but an archived snapshot shows that at least 2.09 million people subscribed to her channel as of last month.
It’s only a matter of time and popularity. For some reason, creators still believe that their popularity is going to protect them, when the truth is the exact opposite and the more popular one becomes on YouTube, the more important it is to deprive them of their channel.
And channel deletions are only one of the ways YouTube reduces a creator’s reach. As JDA, The Quartering, and others have chronicled, algorithmic suppression can reduce a YouTuber’s active viewership by as much as 90 percent.
The more people who subscribe to UATV, the easier it is going to be for these suppressed creators to make the move there. And although President Trump has addressed debanking, it doesn’t appear that he’s going to do anything about social media anytime soon given the restrictions on certain subjects at Truth Social.
I read every line you’re drawing in the dark
Every deviation screaming across the chart
But knowing isn’t saving, seeing isn’t being there
I’m drowning in the patterns inside of your despair
The numbers never lie, and yet they can’t repair
What’s breaking in the spaces behind your empty stare
Inspired, of course, by William Gibson’s IDORU.
I’m not quite as out of control as you might think. I’m just experimenting with some new techniques to accomplish different things, including a few things you’re not supposed to be able to do, with 4.5+. This is a new model I’ve created that gives a different sound than my previous models; I used to remix CHIBA CITY BLUES with less techno, more rock, and it’s pretty promising based on the Shadows Ride mix, although the third verse might need to be tweaked for flow.
Lost in the sprawl of endless night
Where shadows ride their dreams
Hunting the scores to make it right
Nothing here is what it seems.
I genuinely, but in respect mistakenly, thought THE LONG AND LONESOME SKYWAY was my musical magnum opus. I could not have been more wrong. And you probably thought that the last thing the world needed was an authentic 80’s New Wave cover of the old folksong GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN, but you, too, could not have been more wrong.
I think I can guarantee anyone who likes 80’s music is going to absolutely love GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN (Dancing on Your Grave mix).
If you’re interested in the technical details, they’re explained at AI Central, but let’s just say this started with a cassette tape from 1989 that we all thought was lost long ago.
The Hold the Line mix is a significantly updated remix of one of the first songs I wrote after Suno was released. I think you’ll agree it was well worth revisiting and bringing the audio quality up to date.
The battle raged til nightfall
Forty thousand died that day
The Venetians were avenged
And the blood-debt was repaid
The heroes praised the Virgin
For their victory at sea
200 strong remembered
As long as Christendom is free!
And the seas flowed red
Amidst the countless drowning dead
The sailors bled
The seas flowed red
Seas of blood!
Seas of blood!
The new Midnight Rider mix of GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN is also up on UATV for subscribers.
I suppose you might consider it a modern psalm of sorts given how many of them are devoted to God crushing His enemies. Anyhow, I had the impression there might be a Christian or two in our community who could use the reminder and the encouragement in these times of ceaseless Clown World retardery and incessant satanic inversion.
There is also the Cradle to Cavalry version of THE WORD DESCENDED.
Subscribers outside the USA can now sign up, subscribe, and pay for their UATV subscriptions. Please be sure to read and follow all the instructions precisely as written in order to avoid bogging down the developers with questions that are not necessary.
Over the past month, we’ve made significant progress in stabilizing the independent payment infrastructure of Unauthorized. With U.S. subscriptions now being successfully handled by Silicon Prairie’s e-Check system, we are taking the next crucial step by restoring global access through international bank transfers.
Today, we’re introducing two major upgrades:
- Annual plans for all subscriptions
- Bank transfer payments via SWIFT for subscribers worldwide
These changes are not just new payment options. They are part of our long-term strategy to maintain uninterrupted, entirely antifragile service regardless of the actions of external payment processors.
Bank transfers come with their own limitations and requirements, and we hope to cover all of the relevant details in this article. That being said, the important thing to remember is that they provide a reliable, independent fallback option when all other systems fail.
The big news
As of now, annual plans are available for all subscription types. Most are priced at an equivalent value to their monthly counterparts, though the Premium subscription keeps its 1-month discount under the classic Annual plan.
Please don’t hesitate to get back in the game, as it’s going to take a while to get back to where we were previously. But we’ve done it before, so we will do it again. But don’t panic, we’ll give it a few weeks before the paywall goes back up. Also note that this new system supports superchats as well as subscriptions.
Due to the recent algorithmic strangling of many channels on YouTube, we expect that there are going to be more creators coming to UATV later this year, now that it is becoming abundantly clear that the idea of building your brand on the foundation of a platform on YouTube is a very dangerous and high-risk game in which you don’t even know the rules and the referee is playing for the other side.
On the long and lonesome skyway
Where the broken vessels go
Black hole martyrs lead the way
To worlds we’ll never know
In the seashell, in the circuit
Every fragment holds the whole
On the long and lonesome skyway
Lost between machine and soul
UPDATE: I didn’t like the guitar solo and coda of the initial version, which felt like it was tacked on because it quite literally was, so I remade it from that point. It’s now considerably more epic, with not one, but two guitar solos.
I’m not going to lie. It feels like I finally wrote my Orpheus, which is something I’ve wanted to do for more than 30 years. That may not mean anything to anyone else, but if you know, you know.
