This speech in Berlin was to an interesting conference on freedom of expression at the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy. It proved useful in forcing me to pull together an overview of my current thoughts on events of the last year or so.
You can find video of other speakers here.
I have added my own enquiry:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I notice that the videos of Craig Murray’s lecture and interview at your recent Conference on Freedom of Speech in Berlin are no longer available on YouTube, where, I assume you posted them, and where they were visible early yesterday. Instead a message, advising that the videos have been removed by the “user”, appears. Assuming that you are indeed the user, and noting that none of your other videos of participants have vanished, can you let me know why this material has been pulled? It seems to run counter to the purpose of the conference, no?
Best regards,
Miked D – good idea to write email to them. Also leave a comment on the page where the video should be – note that ALL the other videos are there just fine, but not the one where the speaker talks about being censored off the media! In the bit I watched, CM related how he’d been called to appear, and then disinvited, by the BBC no less than about 33 times. There had also been pre-recorded interviews – for example, on the cotton industry in Uzbekistan – which never made it into the final report for Newsnight.

Looks like just to illustrate the point, the same thing has happened here.
I have saved the first video.
FireEater: Ace! Can you make it available?

Craig…Craig…Craig…are you out there?
I can’t see you anymore.
FireEater,
Can you verify your copies are not edited/truncated/”cleaned up” with respect to the money part of the lecture?
