Don't forget: Indian tech entrepreneur Rajat Khare is scrubbing the internet of any mention of his name or even anything critical about him, like how he runs a hack for hire business that works for the worst of them, eg Qatar spying on FIFA when they were bidding for the World Cup.
Behind the Bastards tried to do a two part episode on it, but it's pretty hard to find now.
Fuck me, they weren’t joking on that one… I listened to those episodes when they first came out, but they were gone soon after it seems.
There are working download links on the subreddit though, if anyone else wants to find them.
I swear I had them downloaded, then my app deleted them. Either that or they just never downloaded.
Gonna have another hunt, I want me an mp3.
Well as mentioned, there’s links on the BTB subreddit, so you should be able to download them. And I wouldn’t be surprised if someone uploaded it to say, YouTube…

They're seriously gone? I also listened to them when they came out. Looks like the Clear Channel/iHeartRadio overlords stepped in.
I listened to them on Google Podcasts… gone. You can see there’s a gap between the episode on February 1st (Part 2 of Tech bros built a cult) and February 13th, the first part of Robert E. Lee.
Also gone from the main site and other apps that I use. Unless you heard it when it was up, you’d never know it existed.
You can see the missing eps listed on Podscripts, feb. 6 & 8.

Scary, right? If a shitty tech dude can be this effective at scrubbing things, imagine what the REALLY scary people and governments hide from us…
Looks like they're also gone from Spotify, where I originally listened to them.
What does this have to do with the poem?
It's yet another example of awful people with power making the world worse, which is a major theme of the poem.
