Worst Purge of Conservative Voices in Internet History
By Michael Synder
In recent weeks, we have witnessed an unprecedented social media crackdown on conservative voices. YouTube’s war with Alex Jones has gotten the most attention, but literally hundreds of conservative content creators have had their accounts penalized, suspended or deleted by YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media giants. There appears to be a coordinated effort to target conservative viewpoints, because similar voices on the left are not receiving equal treatment. If I win my race for Congress on May 15th, I am going to make fighting this sort of censorship one of my top priorities once I get to Washington.
How would you feel if you spent years creating videos and building up a subscriber base only to have all of that work wiped out in a single moment by a leftist YouTube moderator?
Sadly, that is precisely what is happening to dozens upon dozens of conservatives right now…
Writing for Polygon.com, Julia Alexander noted that, “Whenever YouTube institutes a tougher moderation stance, a common debate emerges over censorship
—especially from notable conservative voices.”
Specifically, she explained, “Questions over YouTube’s moderators and the power they hold were raised this week after notable conservative pundits, gun advocates, conspiracy channels and other right-wing voices received community strikes or were locked out of their channels. Creators who are affected by lockouts, strikes and suspensions are referring to it as the ‘YouTube Purge,’ claiming that YouTube is purging all right-wing or pro-gun content. The move follows the company’s attempt to clamp down on dangerous content following the Parkland shooting.”
One of the most disturbing examples of censorship was what happened to the Health Ranger channel. Mike Adams is a personal friend, and I am extremely upset about what YouTube has done to him…
As we reported over the weekend, YouTube terminated the entire Health Ranger video channel on Saturday, wiping out over 1,700 videos and approximately 350K+ subscribers.This was done, of course, as part of the YouTube left-wing PURGE now being carried out against non-establishment speakers who are being targeted for political reasons.
YouTube’s censorship rampage also wiped out all my videos on the donkeys I rescued, the range-free chickens I raise and even the beautiful ice crystals I captured on video over the winter. In its censorship sweep, YouTube is obliterating thousands of videos without cause, violating the civil rights of informative internet users and functioning as a criminal techno-cartel.
There is absolutely no reason for YouTube to do this. Mike Adams has literally helped millions of people through his work, and I am urging all of my readers to contact YouTube and demand that they restore his channel immediately.
Of course YouTube is not the only one that is cracking down on conservative voices. Here are a few examples of what Facebook has been doing…
Young Cons: This very popular conservative news site had millions of daily readers during the recent election, and the site received nearly all its traffic from Facebook (Lesson: Never put all your marketing eggs in one basket). Facebook has been increasingly censoring Young Cons stories since 2016; now the site struggles mightily and regularly switches domains in order to maintain traffic.
SaraPalin.com: At one point the former GOP VP nominee and Alaska governor’s website was serving up stories to her four million Facebook followers, but she, too, had to begin switching domains in order to maintain traffic.
Right Wing News: This site grew to massive proportions over the past few years, in large part thanks to its meteoric popularity on Facebook. During one week in 2015, the site’s Facebook page reached 133 million people. The site was driving about the same amount of web traffic as some of the biggest newspapers in the U.S. But since 2016 Facebook began blocking traffic to the site; its owner, John Hawkins, announced he would shut it down in January (it’s still online but the content is not regularly updated).
Independent Journal Review: This, too, was a large conservative news and information source, but because it was overly reliant on Facebook traffic, the site had to terminate a number of its employees last week, leaving the fate of the Millennial-focused site in doubt.
And Twitter has been censoring conservatives as well.
In particular, Twitter seems to really dislike pro-life activists…
Pro-life group Live Action cried foul in 2017 after Twitter demanded it delete pro-life images, such as fetal ultrasounds, from its Twitter feed and website before allowing the group to run advertisements. Live Action refused the request.
Another pro-life group, the Susan B. Anthony List, was barred in October from running a video advertisement, because it used the phrase “killing babies” to refer to abortion. “No advertiser is permitted to use the phrase ‘killing babies,’” Twitter told the group.
That same month, Twitter blocked an advertisement by Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s campaign for Senate in Tennessee. Twitter objected to one line Blackburn said: “I’m 100% pro-life. I fought Planned Parenthood, and we stopped the sale of baby body parts –thank God.”
If you don’t stand up when you see others being censored, then please don’t complain when the social media giants censor you as well. I think that Dr. Michael Brown made this point exceedingly well in his most recent article…
First they came for Infowars, and I did not speak out—because I found them offensive.
Then they came for Geller and Spencer, and I did not speak out—because I found them obnoxious.
Then they came for Prager U, and I did not speak out—because I found them opinionated.
Then they came for a host of others, and I did not speak out—because I have my own life to live.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
This is why we need good liberty-minded people to run for office all over the nation.
If we do not fight back, this sort of oppression is only going to get worse. Right at this moment I am engaged in an extremely tight race for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and if you want me to go to Washington and defend our free speech rights, please consider making a contribution because we desperately need it right now…

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
I DID FILE A COMPLAINT TODAY WITH YOU TUBE. I sent a complaint about Mike Adams and Info Wars being blocked and stated that this will come to a legal matter because I felt free speech is a right and any corporation that provides a platform should abide
by the right of free speech. Yes, guide lines are expected. Well just two hours later I received a call about my complaint. The man
who called was rude, said they don’t block Infowars or Mike Adams. I said yes you do and this will be an issue of free speech. I know in the near future at some point this will be decided in a court of law. The FCC controls communication and a class action law suit will compel free speech to be upheld within the internet. It must happen. You can file a complaint to YouTube at 833-402-2333.
Last point, the man I spoke to said it was my internet connection …….so much for You Tube customer relations.
Newspapers have a right to run letters to the editor or not.
Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to use anyone elses forum to express it.
If I had a web site I would reserve the right to decide who posts there and who not, quite arbitrarily.
I see your point .. but what about getting different views on the news? What other avenues are available to get these unaltered items to the public?
We don’t get different views on the news since reagan destroyed the Fairness Doctrine.
If there is not a guarantee of it there then why should there be on web sites that are owned by individuals?
Nobody is required by law or by any moral code to allow you to spout off what you want on their territory.
Any more than they would be if in your living room.
I don’t have any problem whatsoever with a private corporation like youtube getting rid of *** FAKE NEWS ***. You can only watch so many videos of Saskwatch, YUGE underground bases with alien lizards, FEMA Wal-Marts, and Yellowstone blowing up.
It gets tiring, the more *** FAKE NEWS *** anyone can get rid of, the better. And since BIN is the worst offender of *** FAKE NEWS *** we can always come here to read about Nibiroobooboo hiding behind the sun getting ready to smash us or Jimmy Kimmel being the anti-Christ. Then, we’ll all be happy wallowing in a pile of bullshit.
What’s hilarious is how the real fake news monkeys all try to hijack conservatism, as if being a liar is conservative. Since when? I mean, a liar is just a scumbag, nothing to do with liberal or conservative: that’s just an immoral person, a low brow. Actually, to be honest and have moral values is conservative.
Notice how, too, when they get banned from YouTube, where they’ve received money for their lying, sensationally stupid trash, and, actually, ruined the platform, to where an intelligent person won’t even go there, for the mountain of home made lunacy and stupidity, they all act like the world is ending as we know it, because they were banned, and that this calls for civil war against the deep state reptilians. (As if not even a possibility thinking people are just bored with all their useless lies and crap opinions.) Can people even get any more legendary in their own minds, who sit in their trailer, spouting nonsense at their laptop cameras to post on YouTube, though what they’re really trying to do is get the tin foil hats emotionally involved and complain to YouTube they can’t live without their Sasquatch updates, warnings of when Planet X is going to collide with the earth, the next FEMA roundup, next outbreak of WWIII or economic collapses, too numerous to count, next crisis actors epic performance or new cures for cancer, like lemon juice.
It’s all such a circus, a veritable freak show, isn’t it? The 21st century bearded lady or Siamese twin. They need to put computer stations at supermarket checkouts, so people with three butt cheeks, bursting at those Spandex seams, have something to do, while waiting to pay for their beer and cigarettes. Maybe a static browser, with one URL, /home/featuredlist/featured.html.
I’m getting tired of giving you upvotes but when you’re right, you’re right. And you are SO right with this comment.
And even though you’re a scoundrel, you are my kind of scoundrel. I too tire of upvoting you. (In Binnerland, you take what truth and brains you can get, beggars can’t be choosers.) If the Lord Jesus ever gets hold of you, the Bigfeets are doomed, I tell you, doomed! And I can go outside again…
God bless.
