Silicon Valley’s largest companies censored conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s online show and The Covenant School Killer’s partial manifesto, which Crowder published on Monday.
The popular pundit received a message from Alphabet-owned YouTube saying that Monday’s episode was removed because it violated a policy related to criminal organizations.
“We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our violent criminal organizations policy. We know you may not have realized this was a
violation of our policies, so we’re not applying a strike to your channel,” said YouTube in an email, which Crowder published to his X page. “We realize this may be disappointing news, but it’s our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all. If you think we’ve made a mistake, you can appeal this decision – you’ll find more details below.”

Facebook (now Meta) also prompted Crowder to remove the leaked documents, noting that it had already removed posts containing the documents from the accounts of other users.

Meta users began complaining of censorship of their posts containing the partial manifesto almost immediately after the documents were released.
Mike Benz founded a nonprofit that advocates for freedom of speech on the internet.
“Censorship doesn’t make pattern recognition go away. It just validates [people’s] personal attachment to the most pernicious aspects of that pattern, plus low-boil resentment toward those trying to stop you from noticing,” he said Tuesday morning on X.

A nonprofit group founded in the wake of a mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, also called for a boycott of Crowder’s show.
“The Uvalde Foundation For Kids is frankly livid at the insensitivity of Crowder who has prematurely & for his own self-centered interest & show ratings released these documents,” that group said in press release. “Crowder fails to show any true understanding or care of the lengthy legal process involved in releasing the manifesto; nor the sensitive matter of prematurely releasing these writings; particularly given the mitigating circumstances of this unprecedented case; including the addition of new parties, lawsuit deliberations and the families of the victims themselves calling for privacy.”
Hale’s manifesto contained anti-white sentiment and referenced Hale’s desire to kill “crackers” with “white privilege.”

This information is being censored because it shows the horrible truth about the Rainbow Tribe.
Of most interest to me is: Who or which agency locally started this closing of the manifesto contents. Having read the full 3 pages released, it appears this is an economic class influenced by artificial local authority!
They suppress and censor information because of fear and cowardice of allowing the People to judge what they have a right to know as this apt quote describes from a courageous, classical liberal:
“We are not AFRAID to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is AFRAID to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is AFRAID of its people.” —John F. Kennedy
It is difficult to put a positive spin on the result of the looney lefts destructive policies. We will likely never see the official release of this murderers demented writings. Any information that supports returning to a normal civil society cannot be tolerated by those that seek the destruction of freedom and liberty.
