(ThyBlackMan.com) The Rittenhouse trial is over, and despite the belligerent efforts of the national mob, a young man was rightfully spared. The loudest among the mob may have been the prosecutor, corporate media, and the president of the United States, but the most insidious was Big Tech.
The men and women who run Silicon Valley could not have been clearer on where they stood. They were relentless in their campaign to derail Rittenhouse’s trial, undermine his constitutional rights, and permanently defame his character.
The shift in Big Tech’s “values” is as marked as it is troubling. In a few short years, a handful of innovative American companies that loved this country and valued their customers has morphed into a corporate oligarchy that loathes the notion of American sovereignty, colludes with foreign powers, despises at least half of the citizenry—and actively works to destroy teenage boys.
Among the culprits was GoFundMe.com, a website that made its name by allowing ordinary people to raise money to help friends, family, and even people they’ve never met. Its mission was noble and emblematic of the great American tradition of philanthropy and voluntary association, but the website drew the line when it came to Rittenhouse, banning people from raising money for his defense.

"Got that? It wasn’t Rittenhouse’s gun collection or his ammunition supply that was banned. Rather, it was his Sixth Amendment right to defend himself against state prosecution in a court of law.
"The company claims it bans raising money for anyone accused of a violent crime, but that’s just one of the many lies Big Tech so comfortably tells us. GoFundMe.com has no problem, for example, hosting fundraisers for Black Lives Matter activists charged with felony rioting, assaulting police officers, and even 'bank robbery during [a] George Floyd riot.'"
Imagine if the trial was had been held in DC. It would have been presided over by Judge Kingfish with a jury drawn from the Mystic Knights of the Sea.
