The John-Henry Westen Show - LISTEN： The videos that got LifeSite banned from YouTube

00:00:00.480 On Wednesday, February 10th, Google deleted the LifeSite News channel from YouTube.

00:00:06.000 The LifeSite News channel was active for about a decade and only ever got a warning after Joe Biden's election.

00:00:12.940 With just over 314,000 subscribers and an average of 50,000 views on each of our flagship shows,

00:00:20.580 and with some of our shows reaching over 2 million views, YouTube cancelled us.

00:00:26.100 Since then, we've been deluged with questions about what happened, why it happened, and what we're doing about it.

00:00:31.920 Well, this show will let you see exactly those clips we believe we were banned for by YouTube

00:00:37.780 and let you decide for yourself if they were worthy of sanction.

00:00:42.300 This is the John Henry Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:00:55.660 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.

00:01:07.100 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

00:01:12.960 We had our YouTube channel up for nearly a decade.

00:01:16.100 There were 5,000 videos on it.

00:01:18.600 One of those videos had nearly 9 million views, and plenty had over a million views.

00:01:24.200 We were never even given so much as a warning by YouTube until Joe Biden was elected.

00:01:31.100 The most important point to remember in all of this is that with Joe Biden's presidency,

00:01:37.820 the cancel culture went mainstream.

00:01:40.800 It may sound like a bad joke, but we were first given warnings about strikes from YouTube

00:01:46.040 for videos by a nun, a medical doctor, and a bishop.

00:01:50.000 No joke.

00:01:50.580 The final couple of strikes leading to our ban were for comments made by a vaccine expert,

00:01:57.320 and then for me quoting a bishop.

00:02:00.020 Fox News' Tucker Carlson called it for what it really was last night.

00:02:05.940 Listen to this.

00:02:06.640 Your right to say and think what you want, to read and watch what you want, threatens them above all.

00:02:12.640 Why?

00:02:13.340 Because if you have access to information, you can form your own judgments, judgments that are independent of theirs.

00:02:20.160 A free internet is their enemy.

00:02:22.460 The moment they took power, they began a kind of counter-reformation against the free internet.

00:02:27.260 They started the most sweeping mass censorship campaign in the history of this country,

00:02:30.960 and it's accelerating even now.

00:02:32.320 Yesterday, for example, Google pulled a pro-life news site off of YouTube.

00:02:36.980 Why'd they do that?

00:02:37.880 Simple.

00:02:38.640 Google supports abortion.

00:02:39.980 A lot of big corporations do.

00:02:41.660 Children distract the labor force.

00:02:43.960 If you're raising your family, you are not serving shareholders.

00:02:47.440 Google doesn't want to debate on this subject, so they just shut the debate down.

00:02:51.140 Hundreds of thousands of subscribers to LifeSite News will no longer be watching videos that question abortion,

00:02:56.460 because they're not allowed to.

00:02:57.340 Strike number one that LifeSite got from YouTube was for a video we aired of a renowned Canadian doctor

00:03:04.880 with extensive credentials who gave testimony to a city government hearing on COVID-19 measures

00:03:11.160 in Western Canada back in November.

00:03:13.980 He began his remarks noting that what he was going to say would seem counter-narrative,

00:03:19.360 so he wanted to establish his credentials so that his remarks would not be sort of summarily dismissed.

00:03:26.320 Listen.

00:03:27.340 Thank you very much.

00:03:29.280 I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter.

00:03:35.140 What I'm going to say is lay language and blunt.

00:03:39.660 It's counter-narrative, and so you don't immediately think I'm a quack.

00:03:44.680 I'm going to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I'm coming from

00:03:49.060 in terms of knowledge base in all of this.

00:03:52.000 I'm a medical specialist in pathology, which includes virology.

00:03:55.520 I trained at Cambridge University in the UK.

00:03:58.360 I'm the ex-president of the pathology section of the medical association.

00:04:02.780 I was previously an assistant professor in the faculty of medicine doing a lot of teaching.

00:04:08.440 I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee in

00:04:13.480 pathology in Ottawa.

00:04:15.200 But more to the point, I'm currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina

00:04:20.080 selling a COVID-19 test.

00:04:22.260 And you might say I know a little bit about all of this.

00:04:25.720 So what did that Cambridge University-trained specialist with credentials and prestige

00:04:33.460 a mile long have to say about COVID and lockdowns, which were so offensive to the non-medically 0.99

00:04:41.140 trained overlords at YouTube?

00:04:43.880 Here's what he said in his testimony to the city council hearing.

00:04:47.480 The bottom line is simply this.

00:04:50.320 There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians.

00:04:57.160 It's outrageous.

00:04:58.580 This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.

00:05:02.500 There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus, other than protecting

00:05:10.340 older, more vulnerable people.

00:05:12.520 It should be thought of nothing more than a bad flu season.

00:05:16.100 This is not Ebola.

00:05:17.440 It's not SARS.

00:05:20.160 It's politics playing medicine.

00:05:22.400 And that's a very dangerous game.

00:05:25.340 There is no action of any kind needed other than what happened last year when we felt unwell.

00:05:31.640 We stayed home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn't visit Granny, and we decided when

00:05:38.100 we would return to work.

00:05:39.900 We didn't have anyone, need anyone to tell us. 0.61

00:05:43.020 Masks are utterly useless.

00:05:45.720 There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever.

00:05:50.200 Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling.

00:05:55.120 They're not even worn effectively most of the time. 0.88

00:05:57.780 It's utterly ridiculous seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people. 0.85

00:06:02.960 I'm not saying that in a perjurative sense. 0.96

00:06:05.280 Seeing these people walking around like lemmings, obeying without any knowledge base to put the 1.00

00:06:12.360 mask on their face.

00:06:14.440 Social distancing is also useless because COVID is spread by aerosols, which travel 30 meters

00:06:20.840 or so before landing.

00:06:23.640 And closures have had such terrible unintended consequences.

00:06:28.800 Everywhere should be open tomorrow, as was stated in the Great Barrington Declaration that I circulated

00:06:35.860 prior to this meeting.

00:06:38.440 And a word on testing.

00:06:39.600 I do want to emphasize that I'm in the business of testing for COVID.

00:06:45.660 I do want to emphasize that positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical

00:06:51.760 infection.

00:06:52.840 It's simply driving public hysteria and all testing should stop unless you're presenting

00:06:59.200 to hospital with some respiratory problem.

00:07:02.140 All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable and to give them all in the nursing homes that

00:07:08.460 are under your control.

00:07:10.080 Give them all 3,000 to 5,000 international units of vitamin D every day, which has been

00:07:15.520 shown to radically reduce the likelihood of infection.

00:07:19.140 And I would remind you all that using the province's own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in

00:07:27.440 this province is 1 in 300,000.

00:07:32.320 1 in 300,000.

00:07:34.620 Everyone acknowledges that the virus is real, that this is a problem.

00:07:44.040 What this doctor and countless other doctors and medical professionals have said is that

00:07:49.300 it's like a bad flu.

00:07:51.600 And the proposal that COVID necessitates economy and social life killing lockdowns is a hoax which

00:07:59.600 is being used to usher in a great reset dreamed of by elites of this world for decades.

00:08:07.520 Our first warning from YouTube also came in November of 2020 for an episode of the Mother

00:08:13.720 Miriam live show.

00:08:16.320 LifeSite's daily show with Mother Miriam Moss, who's, by the way, a wonderful, joyful,

00:08:21.640 traditional Catholic sister, very much in the mold of Mother Angelica.

00:08:25.540 During a November 2020 show on giving children Catholic Christmas traditions, Mother Miriam mentioned

00:08:36.460 those exact same concepts as Dr. Hodgkinson acknowledged during his testimony that coronavirus

00:08:45.200 is real, but that it's more like a bad flu.

00:08:48.440 And if more than anything else, it's being used as a hoax.

00:08:54.060 Watch.

00:08:54.920 COVID, coronavirus, COVID-19 is simply, is it real?

00:09:01.700 It's real, but it's no more real than the annual flu is.

00:09:05.500 And it's been a hoax to bring in a new world order to the great reset to control us.

00:09:16.820 The next strike we got from YouTube was over an episode of the Bishop Strickland Show, which

00:09:22.520 airs weekly at LifeSiteNews.com.

00:09:24.940 The world-famous Bishop of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, has been one of the most outspoken

00:09:31.460 defenders of faith, life, and family in the hierarchy.

00:09:35.080 In a video which aired in December 2020, he said he would not accept a vaccine that has

00:09:41.400 the DNA of aborted children in it.

00:09:43.280 He acknowledged, of course, that the Pfizer vaccine does not have that, but he said that

00:09:49.260 it was tested on a cell line that did include aborted children.

00:09:53.380 And that's all absolutely factual information, uncomfortable though it may be for the leftists

00:09:59.320 wanting to push the vaccine globally.

00:10:01.820 Have a listen for yourself.

00:10:02.820 My bottom line is, as I tweeted once, I'm not going to accept a vaccine that has the DNA

00:10:11.040 of aborted children in it.

00:10:13.120 Amen.

00:10:13.660 That is the good thing about the Pfizer vaccine.

00:10:17.140 It does not.

00:10:18.140 It does not contain the DNA of aborted children.

00:10:22.940 What did happen was it was tested on a cell line that did include the aborted children.

00:10:33.640 Interestingly, we went after YouTube with a lawyer's letter for giving us that strike,

00:10:38.600 and they backed down and put that video back up.

00:10:42.900 But another strike from YouTube came in response to my show with vaccine researcher and microbiologist

00:10:49.500 Pamela Acker.

00:10:50.780 Acker is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on vaccines and on what goes into

00:10:56.660 them.

00:10:57.220 She is the author of a newly released book called Vaccination, A Catholic Perspective.

00:11:04.020 Acker actually spent time in a vaccine research lab for nine months before encountering the

00:11:09.720 ethical and moral issue of the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line.

00:11:15.200 Our conversation was one of the most enlightening, but also most deeply disturbing interviews

00:11:21.360 I've ever done for my podcast, The John Henry Weston Show.

00:11:25.500 This is likely the show YouTube hated the most.

00:11:29.480 Acker made clear some of the most disturbing facts about vaccines and their horrific connection

00:11:35.520 to abortion. 0.52

00:11:36.840 It's not only one or two aborted babies used way back in the seventies.

00:11:40.600 It's hundreds, if not thousands.

00:11:43.420 Moreover, the babies had to be healthy and over three months gestation so the researchers

00:11:48.780 could harvest their organs.

00:11:50.200 The babies also had to be alive for the harvesting, so these abortions had to be planned with tissue 0.92

00:11:55.720 extraction in mind, much the same way organ donation happens.

00:12:00.860 The Pfizer COVID vaccine does not contain remnants of the aborted babies in it, but was indeed tested

00:12:08.400 on aborted fetal cell lines.

00:12:10.160 However, the upcoming vaccines, such as AstraZeneca vaccine, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, both

00:12:16.360 for COVID, there are remainders of these aborted fetal cell lines that end up in the vaccines

00:12:22.820 themselves.

00:12:24.100 And by the way, that's true of other vaccines like the rubella vaccine and the chickenpox vaccine.

00:12:29.000 Have a listen for yourself.

00:12:31.120 That's a fairly common thing to have quality control like that in the laboratory.

00:12:34.320 So the testing with these aborted fetal cells may actually be ongoing in the production of

00:12:38.840 these vaccines, because generally when you scale up production of a vaccine beyond your

00:12:44.680 research and development, you're going to use the same testing procedures to test the

00:12:49.520 scale up that you use to test, you know, your smaller batch, unless it's for some reason

00:12:53.860 not feasible.

00:12:55.360 But this is a very feasible way to test this for these researchers.

00:12:59.140 It's not a moral way, but it's very feasible because these cells have been optimized really

00:13:03.300 for use in the laboratory.

00:13:04.800 And they're almost ubiquitous in tissue culture research.

00:13:08.560 Unfortunately, there's a lot of laboratories around the world that use these HEK293 cells,

00:13:13.520 and they're specific products that are basically optimized for them to have ideal growth conditions.

00:13:19.420 So there's a whole industry based on these aborted fetal cells in basic science research

00:13:24.440 that I think people aren't super familiar with.

00:13:27.500 So just to be clear, so both the COVID-19 vaccines, both the Pfizer and the Moderna, were both not

00:13:36.240 only developed in its spike protein with HEK293, the aborted fetal cell line, but also in their

00:13:43.980 initial testing.

00:13:45.280 And now you're telling us, at least from this article from Stacey Transconos, in ongoing testing

00:13:51.700 currently for new batches.

00:13:53.280 Yes, as far as I know, there is ongoing testing currently for batches.

00:13:58.060 That is not published in the literature per se, because none of the data post the initial clinical

00:14:07.220 trials has been published.

00:14:08.380 But there's substantial reason to think that this is going on.

00:14:12.100 The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, there isn't any aborted fetal material remaining in the vaccines

00:14:18.160 because they're not actually cultured or produced directly in the aborted fetal cells.

00:14:24.020 But with the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for COVID, as well as the

00:14:29.620 rubella vaccine and the chickenpox vaccine, there are remainders of these aborted fetal cells

00:14:35.280 that end up in the vaccines themselves.

00:14:36.980 So when you get this vaccine, you are actually injecting pieces of this individual who was murdered

00:14:44.760 into your body. 0.71

00:14:46.420 Sickening, for sure. 0.93

00:14:48.140 But absolutely factual information.

00:14:51.800 Exactly the type of information that LifeSite News, as a news agency, should be providing.

00:14:58.560 And yet the oligarchs at Google, which owns YouTube, have decided this shall not be revealed

00:15:05.040 to the public.

00:15:05.660 The final strike from YouTube, which brought down the LifeSite YouTube channel completely,

00:15:12.120 was my reading out of a tweet by Bishop Strickland on my show.

00:15:16.900 Here's exactly what I said.

00:15:18.720 Watch.

00:15:19.580 And speaking of courageous bishops, I wanted to read you a couple of tweets from some of

00:15:24.780 the most courageous bishops in the United States.

00:15:27.700 In the wake of learning that many medicines are also tainted with abortion, so it's not only

00:15:33.560 the vaccines, but many medicines as well.

00:15:36.200 Many of the most common medicines, in fact.

00:15:38.280 Bishop Strickland has not decided, therefore, to give up and throw in the towel.

00:15:42.500 Rather, he said, and I quote,

00:15:45.200 Some may see this as a reason to surrender.

00:15:47.900 No.

00:15:48.660 We should uphold the dignity of human life more than ever.

00:15:51.980 With one strong voice we all need to proclaim, and then he said, in all caps,

00:15:57.760 We will not kill children to live.

00:16:01.940 End quote.

00:16:02.300 In response to media questions, YouTube has claimed that we were banned for putting out

00:16:09.140 medical misinformation, and this is a complete falsehood, and we are pursuing legal remedy

00:16:14.660 on that front.

00:16:16.120 Just like when we were barred from Twitter for calling a biological male a male, we will 1.00

00:16:22.480 continue to speak the truth and will not give in to the threats of big tech and the censors

00:16:28.480 who wish to remove inconvenient truths from the public square.

00:16:32.120 To show you how inane are the standards of what YouTube considers medically acceptable

00:16:40.840 information regarding COVID, take a look at the COVID guru himself.

00:16:46.860 Dr. Anthony Fauci has flip-flopped so many times on masking that it's embarrassing.

00:16:53.700 Have a look closely to this.

00:16:56.280 Right now, people should not be walking.

00:16:57.860 There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.

00:17:00.540 When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little

00:17:06.820 bit better, and it might even block a droplet.

00:17:10.200 But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

00:17:15.640 And often, there are unintended consequences.

00:17:19.200 People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.

00:17:22.600 And the fundamentals are not rocket science.

00:17:25.660 It's universal wearing of masks, avoiding crowds, close the bars.

00:17:32.120 They're going to have to have a period of quarantine together with a second test.

00:17:35.480 So we're really taking very seriously the potential for the influx of these types of mutants into 1.00

00:17:42.040 the country.

00:17:42.960 A lot of folks are hearing now about double masking, wearing two masks or trying to get

00:17:49.080 one of those N95 medical grade masks.

00:17:52.100 Do you believe that that's a...

00:17:53.360 You know, it likely does because, I mean, this is a physical covering to prevent droplets and

00:18:02.040 virus to get in.

00:18:03.120 So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes

00:18:08.380 common sense that it likely would be more effective.

00:18:11.480 And that's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.

00:18:17.560 There's nothing wrong with people wearing two masks.

00:18:21.100 I often myself wear two masks.

00:18:23.640 That, by the way, is the same Anthony Fauci who opined that Holy Communion must not be distributed,

00:18:31.040 but was not ready to ban sex with strangers.

00:18:35.260 I wish I were joking, but it's true.

00:18:38.640 Fauci, who, by the way, very much like Joe Biden, claims to be Catholic, in a May interview

00:18:44.700 with the Jesuit magazine America, was asked if the Eucharist can be distributed in a safe

00:18:50.960 way and responded with an emphatic no.

00:18:55.340 I think for the time being, you just gotta forestall that, he said.

00:19:01.060 Just a month before, in April, Fauci said it was tough to say whether it was all right

00:19:08.920 during the pandemic to have sex with strangers met on dating apps like Tinder.

00:19:13.500 But he said, and I quote, if you're willing to take a risk and you know everybody has their

00:19:19.580 own tolerance for risks, you could figure out if you want to meet somebody, end quote.

00:19:25.220 Truly unbelievable.

00:19:28.140 Since the election of Joe Biden, cancel culture has taken a deadly hold in the United States.

00:19:34.440 But our awesome team at LifeSite took this ban as a challenge and an opportunity.

00:19:39.980 Already, our Rumble channel is starting to catch up to our former YouTube daily views,

00:19:46.120 despite having only a fraction of the subscribers.

00:19:49.620 We are also taking legal steps, of course, so we would appreciate prayers and any support

00:19:54.700 you might be able to give to us.

00:19:56.440 By deleting our channel, YouTube has scrubbed the internet of hundreds of hours of video

00:20:02.400 that range from interviews with Catholic cardinals who previously run Vatican dicasteries,

00:20:07.880 international pro-life leaders and politicians, some of the best original pro-life reporting

00:20:13.780 available.

00:20:14.980 All of our reporting on coronavirus vaccines, masks and lockdowns has been solidly based in

00:20:21.500 science, not liberal fantasy.

00:20:23.820 When we report inconvenient truths that power hungry, tyrannical Chinese Communist Party serving 1.00

00:20:31.260 World Health Organization doesn't like, their allies in big tech are happy to censor us,

00:20:36.600 YouTube and other tech titans are simply not interested in allowing anyone to dissent from

00:20:43.620 their state-approved liberal totalitarian ideology.

00:20:47.380 Fortunately, we've already taken preemptive measures to ensure that the truth will continue

00:20:53.280 to reach the ears of those most in need of it in these dictatorial times.

00:20:57.400 The best thing you can do to stay in touch with LifeSite News and all of our coverage, text and

00:21:03.780 audio and video, is to come direct to LifeSiteNews.com, where we will be regardless of which different

00:21:11.700 video platform we'll have to switch to.

00:21:14.580 If you want video only, please check out our Rumble channel.

00:21:18.840 At the LifeSite News Rumble channel, you'll find the John Henry Weston Show, the Jonathan

00:21:22.860 Van Maren Show, and all of our awesome on-site coverage by video producer Jim Hale.

00:21:28.700 On the LifeSite Catholic channel, you will, Rumble channel that is, you will find the Father

00:21:34.280 Polari Daily Rosary Show, which airs at noon.

00:21:36.940 You'll also find the Daily Mother Miriam Live Show, as well as the weekly Bishop Strickland

00:21:43.060 Show.

00:21:43.840 We are active on various other platforms too, like Gab and Telegram.

00:21:47.860 And LifeSite News, we must say, will never stop reporting the truth.

00:21:52.800 For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston, and may God bless you.

00:21:58.320 Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.

00:22:02.880 I'm coming to you today because we want to be sure that we are communicating clearly with

00:22:08.920 you, our loyal followers.

00:22:10.680 Things are really heating up, as I'm sure you can see.

00:22:14.040 Christians, conservatives, truth-tellers are being targeted, are being banned from social

00:22:19.940 media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram at an alarmingly fast rate.

00:22:26.500 They are attempting to suppress any narrative that does not fit that of the mainstream media.

00:22:32.100 We knew this day would come.

00:22:34.640 We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms

00:22:39.980 to continue to reach you.

00:22:42.040 We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going to explain in a minute,

00:22:46.980 but the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com, because there we

00:22:52.900 will always be.

00:22:54.200 But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe, and our videos can be

00:22:59.820 found on Rumble as well.

00:23:01.760 We would love to see each of you on those platforms too, as they are not censoring or

00:23:07.000 suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day.

00:23:10.140 More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our

00:23:16.380 email newsletter.

00:23:17.660 We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing platform, and

00:23:23.480 we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when,

00:23:29.700 we are removed from our current platform as well.

00:23:32.400 Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go

00:23:38.600 directly to LifeSiteNews.com.

00:23:40.660 Make it your homepage.

00:23:42.680 While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going

00:23:48.080 directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss

00:23:53.620 of LifeSiteNews reporting.

00:23:55.280 Here's the thing.

00:23:56.100 We will never stop sharing the truth.

00:24:00.120 We founded this organization with the mission to be the life, family, and culture source for

00:24:05.660 men and women who seek to know the truth.

00:24:08.740 We have established a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with

00:24:15.260 censorship happening around the globe.

00:24:18.060 Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list.

00:24:24.120 You can find all the direct links in the description of this video.

00:24:29.340 May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to follow and

00:24:33.800 support LifeSiteNews.

00:24:35.840 I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews.
