YouTube Takes Down Red Ice’s Main Channel
YouTube removed one of the most prominent video news outlets for white nationalists, Red Ice, from its platform.
Red Ice quickly booted up a backup YouTube channel, posting a video announcing it had been taken down. “We’ve lost the YouTube channel today,” Henrik Palmgren, the white nationalist who founded Red Ice in 2003, said Thursday on the backup account.

In the summer of 2020, the trial for Philip Manshaus, a 22-year-old Norwegian man who had attempted a terrorist attack at a mosque in Bærum, Norway the previous year, was underway. During the trial, it was revealed that Manshaus held National Socialist views, in addition to beliefs in conspiracy theories, and had been inspired by the Christchurch terrorist in New Zealand a few months prior to carrying out the attack. Manshaus had also notably murdered his adopted step-sister from China shortly before attempting the mosque shooting.
Despite international media coverage of the trial, left unreported during the proceedings was the fact that Manshaus was an avid viewer of Red Ice TV, a white nationalist alternative media outlet based in the United States and Sweden. The co-founders of Red Ice TV ar
