Videos don't always appear in search results immediately. He could have also just unlisted the video. I've uploaded hundreds of videos and many don't really show up in the results if they are similar to many other videos.

If you just search "CIA terrorist organization" you get plenty of other video that are similar to the one described, so it's doubtful this one was censored for content.

I don’t recall an option on YouTube to delist a video from search but still have it be accessible from a channel. It’s either publicly searchable (public) or it’s only viewable with a link (unlisted) or completely private (private). The ones viewable with a link will not appear anywhere but this video does appear on the channel. So clearly there is a fourth option youtube has behind the scenes.
