Chille DeCastro Continues to Fumble
Jose “Chille” DeCastro ended last week with a promise: his social media rebrand and launch of his Reconstitution political party would happen with a “hard launch” of November 3, 2026.
The hard launch would consist of the launch of his political party, which he pitched as an alternative to the mainstream political parties, and new social media accounts associated with his new vision for the future.
As with other promised launches by DeCastro, the deadline passed without launch of the social media accounts or the new political party. DeCastro spent most of the evening on November 3 commenting on the massive political wins by Democrats across the nation.
DeCastro would then hold a rare prime time livestream Wednesday night where only briefly mentioned his planned rebrand and instead announced that he would be suing YouTube over the decision to demonetize his channel last month.
The diminutive YouTuber stated that he was in dire financial straights following his demonetization and blamed YouTube for his decline in sales of his “DeleteLawz” and “YouVeGotBail.AI” branded products.
Stopping short of giving an actual filing date for his lawsuit, he promised that he would be filing against the social media giant sometime atter he finished his long-delayed ConstitutionHQ board game and the release of his governor’s handbook.
The failed Power Ranger teased that he was considering releasing individual chapters of the governor’s handbook on the Substack platform. He did not indicate if those chapters would be monetized on the platform.
Critics were wary of DeCastro’s announcements as DeCastro’s ConstitutionHQ board game was originally announced in 2024 and has been indefinitely delayed multiple times after DeCastro had announced firm launch windows.
The ideas from DeCastro’s “governor’s handbook” were also panned as DeCastro has shared details from the book. Of the ideas shared, the majority involve a nationwide overhauling of policing in America with punishments in place for those police officers DeCastro feels are corrupt.
DeCastro will go trial for a single charge of walking in the street when a sidewalk was available in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Monday.
DJDrkLntrn Becomes Casualty of Dr. Dave v. Audit Them War
The widely popular DJDrkLntrn channel was removed from YouTube at the end of the week following multiple copyright strikes by YouTuber Zachary “Liberty Troll” Kueker.
Kueker has largely been associated with Shade George ‘Audit Them’ Ghanayem in recent weeks, most recently due to his actions when he called police multiple time in Ohio to attempt to have them apprehend David “Dr. Dave” Coulter on a warrant issued out of Cook County, Illinois.
Ghanayem had sought and was granted a civil protective order against Coulter in the late spring of 2026. When Coulter refused to follow terms of the order, a criminal case was filed with a criminal protective order put in place following Coulter’s continued behavior towards Ghanayem.
A warrant for Coulter’s arrest was issued in October and since then, the MindCraftFAFO channel, largely associated with Ghanayem, has been portraying Coulter as a fugitive from justice and has attempted to dox Coulter’s supporters.
With Coulter taking a brief hiatus from his YouTube channel, DJDrkLntrn’s channel stepped up in opposition to Ghanayem, Kueker and others in the first amendment auditing community.
Rumors of a “bounty” for DJDrkLntrn’s real name and contact information began to circulate and Kueker began to copyright strike the channel. Kueker’s actions brought accusations from the community that he was seeking the supposed bounty as DJDrkLntrn would need to release his personal information as part of the counter claim process.
At the end of the week, DJDrkLntrn appeared on ReallyCoolNews’ nightly hangout and indicated that he was looking into several options to bring his channel back. He has yet to take action as the new week began.
The MindCraftFAFO channel was apparently suspended from YouTube during the week as a livestream entitled “This is NOT Free Speech: The Cyber Terrorism of Dr. Dave and His Followers” was removed from the platform for violating YouTube’s terms of service.
Coulter released a brief statement on Friday to promote his GoFundMe campaign to help with legal expenses from Ghanayem’s ongoing legal action.
He then returned on Saturday with new videos on his three active YouTube channels and a livestream.
Coulter’s campaign won the crowdsourcing title for Saturday as it took in $340.00 in new donations; Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney placed second with $15.00 in new donations.
No campaigns that we follow received donations for Sunday.
The Mails May Have Come from Within the Building
News broke early in the week of an investigation into the victims in the Lane Myers case as accusations surfaced that two of threatening e-mails that authorities originally believed were sent by supporters of Lane Myers were sent from an IP address connected to the victims’ house.
A hearing was held early in the week with Pima County Attorney Laura Conover requesting to have an emergency hearing to have Myers’ disposition from his recent probation revocation hearing set aside and to have Myers freed from custody pending a redo of the disposition.
At the hearing, Assistant County Attorney Rachel Stiles would reveal that there was an on-going investigation that may cast doubt on Myers’ sentencing.
Myers’ attorney, Mark “The Shark” Resnick, would reveal to the press following the hearing that the investigation was looking at two of the e-mails with the accusation that the IP address associated with two of the e-mails came from an IP address associated with the Walkers’ home.
Matt Walker, who works as a prosecutor for the city of Tucson, was placed on administrative leave with pay while an internal misconduct investigation is being held.
Myers was sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of violating his probation.
The Pima County City Attorneys’ office is seeking a redo of Myers’ disposition sentencing into the allegations that he violated his probation. Resnick is seeing that the entire probation violation hearing be thrown out.
At the emergency hearing, Judge D. Douglas Metcalf denied the immediate request to free Myers and ordered a November 17 hearing to figure out what to do with the case now that there is an investigation into the e-mails.
Myers’ supporters were elated by the news that Myers may be freed from custody and returned to his previous probation conditions. They also promised swift retribution to those who reported on the case who did not share their positive feelings towards Myers.
John “Merb34st” Rietveld, a first-year family law attorney from California, has been singled out by Myers’ supporters for commenting on the case and have threatened to report Rietveld to the California State Bar Association for expressing his thoughts and opinions on the case.
Rietveld had previously been called out by Myers, who said he would be seeking an injunction against the attorney to prevent him from further commenting on the case. No injunction was filed before Myers was sentenced to prison.
[Full disclosure: Mr. Myers has both threatened to sue and/or to file an injunction against ReallyCoolNews.
