  I watch you from the shadows where the street lights fade.
• 0:17
  Your laughter's like a melody, a song I've never played.
• 0:22
  Your name's carved in my mind, though you don't know it's
• 0:26
  there. I'm just a ghost in your world,
• 0:29
  breathing your air Every step you take.
• 0:34
  I'm tracing in my head, building worlds where you love me, Though
• 0:40
  I've never said you're my secret, my obsession, my
• 0:45
  unspoken vow. I'm alive in this dream, but you
• 0:50
  don't know me now. You're the star of my story, but
• 0:55
  I'm not in your scene. I'm the shadow in the corner,
• 1:00
  living in a dream. Every smile you give, I steal it
• 1:05
  for my heart. You don't know I exist, but
• 1:09
  we're never apart. The coffee shop at night.
• 1:23
  I know your order well. The way you tuck your hair back.
• 1:29
  It's a tale I'll never tell. I've built a life for us in a
• 1:34
  place you'll never see. A castle in my mind where you
• 1:39
  belong to me. Every glance you throw, I catch
• 1:44
  it like a spark. It was the fire inside me,
• 1:49
  burning through the dark. I'm the stranger you'll never
• 1:53
  meet, But I'm always near writing love you'll never read
• 1:59
  in a heart you'll never hear. You're the star of my story.
• 2:03
  But I'm not in your scene. I'm the shadow.
• 2:09
  Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brett Keene and you
• 2:12
  are watching and listening to GOD TV Radio.
• 2:15
  I hope you're all having a blessed day out there.
• 2:18

• 2:53
  And also, when you get an opportunity, check out my new
• 2:56
  album as well as the release of my book and my new website.
• 3:02
  Let me know what you all think about that.
• 3:04
  You can actually listen to my music for free on that or
• 3:07
  Spotify or Amazon Music or the website itself.
• 3:11
  There you go. There's Acds that are available
• 3:16
  as well as digital downloads if you're interested.
• 3:20
  So my friends, a lot of you are on social media, even those who
• 3:24
  are associated with me. I didn't keep much contact with
• 3:28
  you whenever I went away from YouTube for a while, taking my
• 3:32
  break, as many of you probably notice, what I did during that
• 3:36
  time was I spent time actually constructing new music and also
• 3:41
  doing some new writings and all that, but I also had something
• 3:45
  else come up. It's something I did not expect
• 3:49
  to actually ever do. It is something that I said that
• 3:53
  I'd like to do on video. It's something that I said I was
• 3:56
  interested in doing, but I never got around to actually doing it.
• 4:01
  And to be honest with you, I never thought anybody would
• 4:05
  listen or anyone would care about what goes on on the
• 4:08
  Internet. I was convinced that pretty much
• 4:12
  people can get away with murder on this thing and and nothing
• 4:16
  would ever get done. The law didn't care.
• 4:19
  Especially with the experiences I've had with police around my
• 4:24
  little country town, I didn't assume that I was going to find
• 4:28
  Kojak or Dick Tracy or some kind of super detective or lawyers
• 4:33
  that were ever going to do anything for me.
• 4:36
  But while I was trying to work with musicians and work with
• 4:39
  people, my brother, he has repeatedly told me that he's
• 4:44
  sick and tired of whenever people type in his name, that
• 4:49
  there are people who, because they have an issue with me, they
• 4:53
  attacked him. And he also says, Brett, have
• 4:56
  you looked at the releases on your books?
• 4:59
  And I said, what's going on? I, I don't always, you know,
• 5:03
  daily look into what's happening or what's being released
• 5:07
  alongside me or, you know, is there something that's going to
• 5:11
  be put by me musically and all this kind of stuff?
• 5:16
  But apparently what had happened was there was an atheist out
• 5:19
  there. And I know for a fact this was
• 5:21
  an atheist who did this, decided to release their own music, and
• 5:29
  apparently the songs were all about me, had my name in them,
• 5:33
  had imagery in the booklets, and also used a lot of my logos and
• 5:39
  my trademark stuff. So right then and there I'm
• 5:43
  like, well that's ignorant as hell.
• 5:45
  The person also wrote some kind of book themselves where they, I
• 5:51
  guess, spent a great deal of time just attacking the hell out
• 5:54
  of me. But not only that, but they had
• 5:57
  created an entire YouTube channel based upon me.
• 6:01
  But to make matters worse, not only were they stealing my
• 6:04
  images and stealing my videos, but apparently they also were
• 6:09
  impersonating me, pretending to be me.
• 6:12
  They actually put that they were Brett Keene and GOD TV Radio and
• 6:16
  all this. Now, although my brother
• 6:19
  complained and it was a sad, sad, terrible thing for somebody
• 6:23
  to be doing to me, I still wasn't convinced there was
• 6:27
  really anything to do about it. You know, that's just my thought
• 6:31
  process. I think a lot of Youtubers out
• 6:33
  there, you probably feel the same way.
• 6:36
  Well, my brother ended up talking to some people and these
• 6:39
  people get a hold of me and say, hey man, I know a lawyer that
• 6:44
  you can talk to who will take this seriously and all this.
• 6:48
  So I figured, OK, what the hell, I'll go ahead and do that.
• 6:53
  Well, the lawyer ends up having a conversation with me.
• 6:57
  The appointment was made. I go in, I set, I explain the
• 7:01
  issues and the struggles. The people involved who got me
• 7:06
  in touch with this person, they already gave a bunch of
• 7:09
  information themselves. So they said, look, we have to
• 7:14
  prove that you know, this is your trademark, these are your
• 7:18
  images, this is your music, your likeness and all that.
• 7:22
  Luckily for me, the person put my face all over everything.
• 7:29
  They put realistic pictures and then they put cartoon images and
• 7:32
  all that. And it was damn clear that they
• 7:36
  were using all my stuff. And you could tell from the
• 7:39
  music. And also he said that it has to
• 7:45
  prove that he this, this atheist did some intellectual rights and
• 7:50
  issues and all that. I've got a list of some of the
• 7:53
  things that this person was hit with.
• 7:56
  It was pretty rough. The person also claimed that I
• 7:59
  was a plagiarist. They claimed that I was a
• 8:02
  domestic abuser. They basically said everything
• 8:06
  they possibly could, from claiming I was a pedophile to
• 8:10
  you name it. Whatever.
• 8:11
  The worst thing is you can think of this person put out there on
• 8:16
  the Internet to try to aggravate and cause trouble.
• 8:22
  Well, so now there had to be this thing was their accusations
• 8:27
  and their nonsense. Did it hurt me in some kind of
• 8:32
  way financially? Did it hurt my reputation any?
• 8:36
  Well before the lawyer, all he had to do was basically
• 8:41
  associate all the different videos and crap having to do
• 8:45
  with the same thing and also the people who are making comments
• 8:49
  showing that it indicated that they were convinced that what
• 8:52
  they were hearing was true. By doing so.
• 8:56
  This showed that the person was having an impact on the minds
• 9:00
  and thoughts of others and that it was causing them to have a
• 9:05
  warped and twisted view of how I actually am in real life because
• 9:11
  the person was pretending to be me with all this nonsense and
• 9:15
  all that. This person made a book with
• 9:20
  cartoon animations where they represented me as whipping my
• 9:25
  wife and my children. OK, pretty rough.
• 9:30
  Pretty rough stuff. So the lawyer said that he would
• 9:34
  get this going, and I thought it was going to take an extremely
• 9:38
  long time. I thought that it was going to
• 9:39
  be like television where, you know, courts go on and on and on
• 9:43
  forever and ever and ever. But it didn't eventually ended
• 9:48
  up going and the lawyers ended up coming through with something
• 9:52
  called settlement where the person didn't want to go
• 9:56
  completely to trial and they had to pay out the ass.
• 10:01
  And yes, I've already received the money and, and all that.
• 10:05
  And you know, the person got punished for what they did.
• 10:09
  I'm not going to go into all the details and everything, but it
• 10:12
  was, it was not a fun experience.
• 10:17
  I remember thinking in the past when people annoyed me how nice
• 10:20
  it would be to to go to court and take somebody out.
• 10:24
  I know a bunch of my buddies out there who've had some of the
• 10:27
  same kind of things happen to them.
• 10:29
  They fantasize about that kind of stuff, but not me.
• 10:33
  I didn't enjoy it. I don't like sitting in the a
• 10:36
  cold courtroom seeing a bunch of people, you know, who can
• 10:41
  basically destroy your life in a matter of seconds, you know,
• 10:45
  through their decisions and analysts and such like that.
• 10:50
  So it was like, well, this is this is rough, but it actually
• 10:56
  went through quite quickly. The case was simple.
• 11:01
  It showed that the person did this for their own personal
• 11:06
  reasons. They hated me.
• 11:08
  They hated my faith. They not only insisted on trying
• 11:13
  to destroy my life, but they constantly talked about
• 11:16
  Christianity, saying that, you know, Christians are pieces of
• 11:20
  shit and you know, their God is a rapist and all this kind of
• 11:25
  stuff. So it wasn't really difficult to
• 11:28
  make a case on the person. They, the person, pretty much
• 11:31
  tied the noose around their own neck on that issue.
• 11:35
  But it's scary, folks. If you decide that you want to
• 11:40
  pursue a career on YouTube or social media, there's people out
• 11:45
  there for whatever justification.
• 11:48
  They don't even have to know you.
• 11:49
  They don't even have to have ever had a conversation with you
• 11:54
  in their life, and they will go out of their way to destroy you.
• 11:58
  For whatever reason, your face becomes the target.
• 12:01
  I don't know if the person suffered from mental illness, I
• 12:04
  don't know if the person was psycho or someone who looked
• 12:09
  like me used to beat them up whenever they were in school or
• 12:12
  something whenever the child. I don't know.
• 12:15
  Things like that weren't important to the judge.
• 12:18
  Judge wasn't interested in justifications or excuses or
• 12:22
  anything like that. All they wanted was the facts,
• 12:25
  the information laid out. I provided the stuff, the lawyer
• 12:30
  provided what he explored and discovered and and that was
• 12:34
  that. And it was a, it was a decent
• 12:38
  chunk of money and the person was forced to remove all the
• 12:43
  products and all the things that they'd put up.
• 12:47
  And YouTube was also forced to remove their YouTube channel
• 12:52
  over it and that was the end of that person.
• 12:55
  And the person had a fairly good following too.
• 12:58
  I don't know why so many people enjoy channels like that, but
• 13:02
  they seem to be picking up steam.
• 13:05
  I apparently wasn't the only one.
• 13:08
  Even though most of the videos were about me, most of the
• 13:11
  channel seemed completely directed at me.
• 13:14
  But there were other Christians too, who this person maliciously
• 13:22
  attacked. It was this, it was disgusting.
• 13:26
  It was very, very gross type of content.
• 13:31
  So they're gone now and all that nonsense they put out there,
• 13:36
  It's gone. This person also because of all
• 13:41
  the time and effort they put into trying to screw with me,
• 13:45
  they're pages went all over the Internet.
• 13:50
  You couldn't type my name in without also finding them right
• 13:55
  next to me on everything. But there's books, music, my
• 13:59
  art, everything because they were pretending to be me.
• 14:04
  Terrifying. Terrifying.
• 14:07
  So yeah, well, it's, it's finished now.
• 14:12
  It's it's done, so I go about my way, but it still affects me.
• 14:18
  I never in all of my life thought that I was going to have
• 14:22
  to be involved in something like that.
• 14:26
  I guess I never really seen a reason.
• 14:29
  I always thought rationally and logically, why would someone
• 14:33
  want to try to do that to me? You know, there's a lot of worse
• 14:37
  people out in the world. There's people who've killed,
• 14:39
  there's people who raped, there's people who have actually
• 14:42
  hurt their spouses, women hurting men, men hurting women,
• 14:46
  people killing their own kids, kids killing their own parents,
• 14:50
  school shootings, you name it. But me out of all the, you know,
• 14:56
  dirty, rotten bastards in the world to go after this person
• 15:00
  decided that I was worthy of their life's obsession or
• 15:05
  ambitions, I don't know. But it is what it is.
• 15:10
  And we've been considering focusing on some other people
• 15:15
  who are doing some things that are similar to that.
• 15:20
  So if you start well, I I will most likely discuss it more on
• 15:26
  the radio. Some of the other people that
• 15:30
  may end up finding themselves in the same position.
• 15:33
  I don't want to get too far into it.
• 15:35
  According to the lawyer, you're not supposed to give out too
• 15:39
  much information and all that. But since this is over with this
• 15:43
  other person, I can talk about it somewhat freely than the
• 15:47
  issue. This wasn't some kind of
• 15:49
  settlement where you're gagged or told you can't talk about it.
• 15:54
  I just can't tell you the real name and all that kind of stuff
• 15:57
  because that would be considered doxing and all that.
• 16:00
  And besides, I think the person was punished enough.
• 16:03
  I, I don't want to see the Internet go after somebody in
• 16:08
  some kind of ruthless way. Well, that is it.
• 16:13
  Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you all have a wonderful
• 16:15
  day. God bless.
• 16:27
  I watch you from the shadows where the street lights fade.
• 16:32
  Your laughter is like a melody.
