update (2:55pm ETD) : An hour after Ron Paul’s initial viral tweet announcing YouTube had terminated the account, the Ron Paul Institute’s channel suddenly and without explanation appears to have been restored .
The initial announcement of the suspension by Paul had immediately triggered an uproar and demands of answers from the Google-owned platform. It’s as yet still unclear why it was suspended in the first place, but may have been ‘flagged’ for Covid ‘misinformation’ – given YouTube’s vowing this week to begin a far-reaching crackdown.

On Thursday afternoon former Republican Congressman Ron Paul announced that YouTube inexplicably and without warning deleted his Ron Paul Institute Channel, citing “no warning, no strikes, no evidence.”

It’s unclear precisely what was behind YouTube’s rationale for the suspension, but the dominant video upload platform owned by Google just this week announced what’s essentially a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to channels flagged for Covid ‘misinformation.’ To clarify: The Ron Paul Liberty Report YouTube account is still available. The Ron Paul Institute’s YouTube account has been terminated. It is a seldom-used account and its termination is perplexing. — Ron Paul (@RonPaul) September 30, 2021 As TechCrunch detailed Wednesday , “The Google-owned video platform had previously […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
