Falling into line with the ongoing purge, YouTube has suspended President Trump, claiming he uploaded a video that violates its polices.
Trump will be banned from the platform for a week, effectively until the end of his presidency, with comments on all other videos on his channel also disabled indefinitely due to ‘safety concerns’.
YouTube also stated that the suspension was enacted due to the ‘ongoing potential for violence’:
2/ Given the ongoing concerns about violence, we will also be indefinitely disabling comments on President Trump’s channel, as we’ve done to other channels where there are safety concerns found in the comments section. https://t.co/1aBENHGU5z

The Google owned company said the suspension may be extended beyond a week, stating “in accordance with our long-standing strikes system, the channel is now prevented from uploading new videos or livestreams for a minimum of seven days – which may be extended.”
In the videos that Trump uploaded to YouTube, prompting the ban, Trump said that big tech is making “a catastrophic mistake” in its actions to silence him, and that it is intent on “dividing people”.
The Trump team uploaded several videos to YouTube Tuesday night and it is not clear which one ‘violated’ YouTube’s policies. However, the videos appear to have been clips from his speech in Texas, which TV networks also refused to carry.
The full speech can be viewed below:
President Donald Trump addresses the nation from the southern border where he reiterated the law and order movement of peace to empower the American people.
Commenting on the ongoing effort to erase Trump from the face of the planet, Brexit architect, and Trump’s friend, Nigel Farage warned Democrats that it could lead to “very sinister” consequences.
Farage said that Democrats are “so certain of their moral superiority, so filled with hatred and contempt, not just for Trump, but for the values of tens of millions of Americans, that they’re going down a course where this guy could be martyred or silenced.”
“That is the biggest mistake anybody could make at this moment in time. Donald Trump didn’t radicalise tens of millions of Americans. Tens of millions of Americans had already become upset about the mainstream media, increasingly distrustful of social media, had a loathing for Washington and the way that it operates,” Farage added.
“If you take Trump out of the picture then what follows Trump, what follows Trump could be very sinister indeed,” Farage urged, adding “So I would urge everybody… they won’t listen, I know, but I would urge the Democrats not to be vindictive, and I would urge social media platforms to think again. Otherwise, I think America could be heading into a very, very bad place.”

25 million new users joined in the last 72 hours.
25 million new users joined social media platform Telegram in the last 72 hours alone as its founder slammed people “being held hostage by tech monopolies.”
The messaging app surpassed 500 million monthly active users in the first week of January and is now adding millions more in the wake of Big Tech’s latest censorship purge.
“People no longer want to exchange their privacy for free services,” said founder Pavel Durov. “They no longer want to be held hostage by tech monopolies that seem to think they can get away with anything as long as their apps have a critical mass of users.”
The surge was partly driven by Twitter’s unprecedented banning of President Trump, a move condemned by even the governments of France and Germany.
However, the main reason for the surge in new downloads was undoubtedly a WhatsApp privacy update which led to concerns that the app would hand over user data to Facebook.
Durov also noted that Apple and Google were far more dangerous than Twitter because of the monopoly they enjoy via app stores.
Telegram is preparing to offer “a feature-rich web app which will run in Safari almost as smoothly as the native app,” in case the app gets banned by Google and Apple.
Meanwhile, Parler, which was banned by both Google and Apple and subsequently had its servers pulled by Amazon, could be set to return after it was revealed that the company had registered its domain with Epik, a company known for hosting right-wing content.
Gab, another free speech platform, has also enjoyed record user growth in the past few days.

Corporate and tech elite want Trump erased from history

In an unprecedented move, two major banks have announced they will refuse to do business with President Trump, and will shut down accounts he holds with them.
Bloomberg News reports that the German based Deutsche Bank, and the New York based Signature Bank are both refusing to do further business with Trump following the events of last week at the Capitol.
Signature issued a statement noting that they believe Trump should resign from office.
“We believe the appropriate action would be the resignation of the president of the United States, which is in the best interests of our nation and the American people,” the statement from Signature Bank declared.
Trump holds two accounts with the bank, according to reports, with over 5 million dollars invested in them.
The bank says it will now close those accounts, and will also refuse to do business with any elected representative who voted to disregard the electoral college vote count.
“We have never before commented on any political matter and hope to never do so again,” the bank also stated.
Deutsche Bank, with which Trump has loans of around $340 million outstanding, has decided to sever ties with the President, after almost 20 years of doing business with him.
Last month, two private bankers at Deutsche who had worked most closely with Trump resigned their positions.
While there has been no formal statement concerning Trump, Deutsche’s head of U.S. operations Christiana Riley spoke out against the Capitol unrest last week, stating on LinkedIn that the bank stands only with Americans who support a ‘peaceful transition of power.’
“Violence has no place in our society and the scenes that we witnessed are a shame on the whole nation,”Riley wrote, adding “We are proud of our Constitution and stand by those who seek to uphold it to ensure that the will of the people is upheld and a peaceful transition of power takes place.”
The relationship between Trump and Deutsche has been strained for some time, with ongoing investigations by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and New York Attorney General seeing subpoenas issued to the bank.
Court filings have revealed that investigators are looking for any evidence that the Trump Organization misled or defrauded the lender by inflating the value of some of its assets.
The actions of the two banks against Trump are part of a larger ongoing purge by the corporate and tech elite.
The Trump campaign’s funding and e-commerce operations have also been cut off by Stripe and Shopify, while a raft of other companies have suspended relations with the President.
