This information is being reported at a couple of international sites, but (if accurate) it has apparently been blacked out in the U.S.

The bomber at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, has been identified as a 25-year-old man who left an online manifesto in which he described himself as a pro-mortalist, saying people didn’t give consent to exist.

The suspect is Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old man from Twentynine Palms, a small city about 35 miles northeast of Palm Springs. He left a 30-minute audio recording in which he explained his motive for the attack.

“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said at the beginning of the recording. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”

Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: “I’m very against [IVF], it’s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?”

    It’s not blacked out in the US, it is all over the news.

      This post was created Saturday night at 10:30 PM. This information was not being reported at any U.S. news site at that time.

      You’re complaining that 2 days later something in this post is no longer accurate?

        The first reports about the bomb happened within hours of the attack, with the details being reported in the US over the next 24 hours. Not a suppression.

          There were zero details reported about the bomber in the U.S. at 10:30pm PDT on Saturday night. You obviously weren’t searching for information at that time, despite your claims otherwise.

          Making an issue about this 2 days later is ridiculous and discussion with a contrarian is always a waste of time.

            As I said, we heard that it happened that same day without details. The information regarding the bomber came a 12-24 hours later.

            You should always call out conspiracy theories such as this. How would the US suppress this? Most of us talk to people in other countries. Suppression of this story is just a dumb conspiracy.

            Here are the facts: You are a liar. You are spreading disinformation. The person that posted this is lying. They are spreading disinformation.
