00:00:00.000 What if I told you that some of the most satanic music ever aired in the United States of America
00:00:06.980 was aired by an ostensibly Catholic radio station, a radio station associated with a
00:00:14.440 so-called Catholic university? What if I told you that that university happens to be in the
00:00:21.420 most notorious diocese in the United States, the diocese where Cardinal McCarrick came from,
00:00:28.500 the diocese where currently the very controversial Cardinal Tobin is? That's exactly what's going on
00:00:36.660 and what's been going on for many, many years. The most satanic music you've ever heard of
00:00:44.320 coming directly out of a supposedly Catholic station. You're going to want to stay tuned for this. 0.66
00:00:58.500 Before we begin, I just need to let you know that the Canadian National March for Life is coming up.

00:01:45.200 Richard Smaglik, thank you for joining us on this episode of the John Henry Weston Show.
00:01:50.420 Thank you, John Henry. It's an honor to be on your show.
00:01:53.060 Praise God. Let's begin as we always do at the sign of the cross.
00:01:56.380 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:02:00.960 As I said at the outset, we are dealing with some very alarming, horrific information,
00:02:08.220 something that is tied back to Cardinal McCarrick, something that is tied today to Cardinal Tobin.
00:02:17.640 Before we get into that, tell us a little bit about yourself, Richard. What do you do and why do you do it?
00:02:23.820 I'm an electrical engineer by trade and software developer. I've worked on a lot of things,
00:02:30.120 including surgical robotics and MRI equipment. But at this phase of my life, I am focusing primarily
00:02:37.820 on issues that are more important and issues involving the state of the church and the reform
00:02:42.900 of the church. Since 1988, I've been involved in addressing issues related to satanic violence
00:02:49.480 and white nationalism and the nexus between the two. There's a radio station in my city,
00:02:55.400 Milwaukee, that has been airing a lot of that type of material for a long time. And in those
00:03:01.540 investigations recently, it became, in 2016, it became very apparent that the radio station at
00:03:10.660 Seton Hall University, a Catholic diocesan university, was probably the leading voice for
00:03:16.720 these musical genres in America. To the best of my knowledge, Seton Hall is the only radio station
00:03:22.420 in America that airs metal and closely related genres full time. And the material is so satanic
00:03:29.540 and so extreme, and the problem has persisted so long that I very strongly felt that it needed to be
00:03:35.140 addressed in order to, most importantly, for the sake of the salvation of souls, but also to help bring to
00:03:45.180 light the extent to which the integrity of the church has been compromised, the extent to which its
00:03:51.420 mission has been compromised through the land of lakes statement, and through the church's willingness
00:03:57.380 to weave very dysfunctional norms of secular culture into its own fabric.
00:04:04.460 What you said there is truly remarkable, because you mentioned that this Seton Hall University, which is a
00:04:12.660 Catholic university in the diocese that was run by Cardinal McCarrick, the very controversial Cardinal McCarrick,
00:04:19.820 now run by Cardinal Tobin, is the only station in America that you know of that's running the most
00:04:28.260 satanic music in the world, basically.
00:04:33.300 Um, let's, uh, that's, that's hard to unpack, but, but give me a brief comment on that. And I'm going to ask
00:04:40.540 you to, uh, right after you finished that brief comment to give us some examples of this, because it
00:04:44.820 seems rather unbelievable.
00:04:46.340 One of the things I want to start out with here is that a lot of people believe, uh, that this couldn't be
00:04:52.180 true. Uh, there are a lot of people with sort of vested interests or close ties to the Archdiocese of
00:04:57.540 Newark or to Seton Hall University who hear this and roll their eyes and say, this is too sick to be
00:05:02.820 real. And for that reason, we've, uh, put together a website, um, with lots and lots of recorded
00:05:09.460 examples, uh, recorded right directly from WSOU broadcasts, including transcribed lyrics and, um,
00:05:17.860 LM artwork. Um, so it's there to see and early in this process, people should decide whether or not
00:05:25.460 they're willing to face that truth, uh, or to dismiss this without having seen it and ignore the rest of
00:05:31.620 this conversation. Uh, it is extreme. It's ugly. And, uh, the Cardinal has, uh, known about it for a long time.
00:05:39.780 Let's actually do that. Let's, let's, first of all, warning to parents, um, and that, uh, we're going to be
00:05:46.140 airing some of the material, which is, um, satanic offensive. Uh, so, uh, you know, if, uh, you're concerned about
00:05:54.120 your little ones, please remove them from the room. But, uh, if you wouldn't mind, uh, Richard,
00:05:58.840 we're going to show some of this while you describe it. So if you wouldn't mind, uh, going ahead and
00:06:04.640 describing at least a few of what has been aired and let's, let's focus on what's been aired recently,
00:06:10.800 um, on the, on the radio station, the Catholic, so-called Catholic, uh, Seton Hall University,
00:06:17.680 their radio station, uh, let us know what's been happening there.
00:06:20.920 WSOU has aired the album, Black Masses. The songs in this album, uh, represent satanic anti-masses
00:06:28.540 involving the calling forth of Satan and the worship of evil acts, vileness, and extreme
00:06:33.660 decadence. One song from the satanic album aired by WSOU describes a sadomasochistic ritual of satanic
00:06:40.800 worship. Uh, WSOU has aired material from this open, openly satanic band as recently as last week.
00:06:48.220 They have, uh, persisted in airing material by the band Periphery. They have not very recently,
00:06:55.340 but have on many occasions in the past aired their song Blood Eagle, which is about the torture and
00:07:01.180 genocidal slaughter of Christians. In March of 2021, they aired Mainblot. That's a Danish word
00:07:08.960 by the artist, uh, Merkur. Mainblot means moonblood. It's about the sexual sin of a dirty whore 0.99
00:07:16.020 and the ritual sacrifice of a newborn. They've aired Amman Amarth for victory of death about the
00:07:22.320 genocidal slaughter of Christians as recently as this month. They've aired Opeth, the grand conjuration
00:07:29.760 in which the singer invites the devil to enter into him and deliverance by the same band, which
00:07:35.720 describes the devil pouring himself into the singer. That was aired, uh, this month. Both of those were
00:07:41.860 aired this month. Uh, a couple of more examples are songs by the band Misfits, including Last Caress
00:07:48.680 with lyrics, I got something to say, I killed your baby today, and it doesn't matter much to me as long
00:07:55.600 as it's dead. And their song Skulls about killing and decapitating little girls, hanging them to drain
00:08:02.760 their blood, bathing in the blood, and mounting the heads on a wall. Both of those have been aired
00:08:09.780 recently this month. Absolutely crazy. So now I know many people find that hard to believe,
00:08:19.720 but you're saying that this has been happening. This has been happening consistently since the late
00:08:26.700 eighties. Now you've also been fighting this for that long. What in the world has gone on that this
00:08:35.020 can keep going despite your campaigning against it and making it public? I think, uh, it's really
00:08:41.600 rooted in the fact that this has been woven into not just the secular social fabric, but into the, um,
00:08:49.960 Catholic social fabric. So this is our new normal. Uh, if you, uh, look back to the eighties, 0.95
00:08:58.200 for example, um, a group of, uh, Washington wives formed a group to, uh, put warning labels on records. 1.00
00:09:06.640 They were, uh, successful in getting, uh, record companies to do so, but were heavily mocked for
00:09:13.080 creating what was called a satanic panic. The talking point of the heavy metal press and heavy
00:09:19.900 metal fans is that, uh, if you're objecting to satanic music, you're just one of those people from the
00:09:26.300 eighties, uh, one of those prudes from the eighties that, um, is out of touch with normal forms of art.
00:09:33.380 Uh, shortly after that record warning label, uh, the genre advanced in the, in the country of Norway,
00:09:40.360 for example, and in much of, uh, Northern Europe and Scandinavia to the point that they formed a cult
00:09:47.820 that formed the genre of black metal that was formed by, uh, a group of individuals, including
00:09:54.660 Varg Vikernas, who, uh, burned at least three churches, was convicted of burning three churches,
00:10:02.220 probably burned more, continued to record music, uh, after burning those churches, even sort of back
00:10:09.280 mass, uh, statements about burning churches into a material he recorded with the band Dark Throne,
00:10:16.460 which WSOU, uh, has played since 2019 and started a fad of church burning. That church burning
00:10:23.540 fad, according to the BBC has resulted in the, uh, in 50 church arsons, uh, as recently as, uh, 2018,
00:10:32.640 excuse me, 2019, uh, let me back up a little bit. A book was written about this. It was written by
00:10:38.640 Michael Moynihan, Michael J. Moynihan, not to be confused with Michael C. Moynihan. Uh, he is, uh,
00:10:45.540 an individual who wrote a book called Siege, which is a compilation of the writings of James and Mason,
00:10:51.880 the leading neo-Nazi in America and sort of the spiritual father of America's, uh, domestic
00:10:58.700 terrorist neo-Nazi movement. Siege is the Bible of that movement. Michael Moynihan also wrote a book
00:11:05.940 called Lords of Chaos about the, uh, history of black metal and the church arsons that have gone
00:11:11.840 along with that musical genre. An artist by the name of Jonas Ackerlund, a former black metal drummer who
00:11:18.380 went to, uh, California to be, uh, basically a video director, uh, decided he'd do a movie on
00:11:26.780 this, this book about this, this church arson fad. He called it Lords of Chaos. There was a lot of
00:11:33.000 resistance to releasing it because everybody knew that it was going to spawn church arsons. It was
00:11:38.680 introduced at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2019 and received, uh, reasonably positive
00:11:46.860 reviews and then was released to the public on February 8th of 2019, despite a lot of objections
00:11:52.000 to it. By the end of March, uh, several churches were burned by black metal, not fans, but by black
00:12:01.200 metal musicians. Uh, three churches were burned in March and April in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana,
00:12:07.500 by Holden Matthews, who was deeply into the occult, uh, Odinism, Wotanism, and the fusion of those
00:12:15.080 Nordic neo-pagan violent religious ideologies with Satanism and, uh, wanted to build his cred as a 0.90
00:12:22.100 black metal musician by burning down churches. At the same time, or shortly before that, another black 1.00
00:12:27.660 metal musician, a guy by the name of Jacob Lowenstein, burned two Mormon churches in New Zealand, one of
00:12:33.120 them in Christchurch. Uh, those church arsons took place two and four days before the Christchurch
00:12:38.220 mosque attack, uh, carried out by, um, Brenton Tarrant, which killed, uh, 51.
00:12:43.500 So, I mean, this is incredible. So the, the track record of the harm of this music, not only is it
00:12:51.240 disgusting and horrible, but it has an actual track record of creating havoc in society. Yes,
00:12:59.640 people are called prudes for being against it, but that's in the regular public sphere.
00:13:05.380 But you've been arguing this in what should be a Catholic sphere. Seton Hall's a Catholic
00:13:10.720 university. Uh, it's ostensibly the Cardinal, uh, in charge of the Newark Archdiocese is in charge of
00:13:17.240 it. Therefore, of course, Theodore McCarrick before, but now Cardinal Tobin, have you already
00:13:21.800 brought this to their attention and what was their response? I started bringing it to the attention of
00:13:28.080 Cardinal Tobin and the Archdiocese of Newark in the summer of, um, 2019. WSOU stopped posting their
00:13:35.340 playlist shortly thereafter because it was a key source of evidence that they didn't, and they
00:13:41.980 wanted to cover their tracks. At that point, I started recording most of what they broadcast and,
00:13:47.320 uh, along with the data that went along with every broadcast so that I knew what song was broadcast
00:13:51.780 at one time and, uh, wrote a letter to the Pope and to the U.S. nuncio, Archbishop Christophe Pierre.
00:13:58.920 It was a 44-page report that outlined this issue and the satanic broadcasting from WSOU in detail.
00:14:07.060 Uh, that letter, uh, was forwarded by the nunciature to Cardinal Tobin, presumably in 2019,
00:14:14.120 as soon as they received it. But, uh, I received confirmation that, uh, it was forwarded to Cardinal
00:14:19.520 Tobin in, uh, the summer of 2020. Uh, it's clear that Cardinal Tobin has known about the problem
00:14:28.160 through many emails originally from me and then from large numbers of protesters, large numbers
00:14:34.160 of people signing petitions, uh, demonstrators. There have been, I think, 15 demonstrations now
00:14:40.240 at Seton Hall at the Newark Archdiocesan Center and, um, literally right under Cardinal Tobin's window
00:14:47.780 at his residence, uh, making it clear that, um, he needs to respond to this. Uh, his, um, priest
00:14:55.900 secretary has discussed this with us and, uh, has conveyed that Cardinal Tobin is aware
00:15:02.780 of it. He recognizes it's a problem and has stated more or less that, um, Seton Hall operates
00:15:10.700 independently, uh, alluding to, but not directly stating that the Land O'Lakes statement is involved
00:15:17.460 and academic autonomy of Catholic universities involved, which raises a whole, uh, different
00:15:23.940 question. But to get back to the key point, Cardinal Tobin has been thoroughly, thoroughly informed
00:15:29.640 about this in every way imaginable. I wrote a, an email to the nunciator, nunciator, nunciator
00:15:36.500 this morning, asking that they, uh, let me know whether or not my letter to the Pope was forwarded
00:15:42.540 to the Pope and asking for support from the Pope to shut down this radio station. And the reason
00:15:48.640 that's necessary is that this, the student DJs and the managers of the station don't see this as a
00:15:53.680 problem. They know that they can continue with impunity. They want to continue with impunity
00:15:59.780 because there's a, uh, viciously anti-Christian musical subculture that's taken deep root at the
00:16:08.000 station. You can't root it out with management or oversight. These genres are widely acknowledged
00:16:14.900 by the music industry to be aggressively hostile to Christianity. That's not a problem in the secular
00:16:21.560 world in this day and age. That should be a problem for the church in this day and age. And for Seton
00:16:27.960 Hall to believe that management and oversight can make the broadcasting of these genres of, of anti-Christian
00:16:35.000 material compatible with a Christian mission of a university is insane. Uh, they post information about
00:16:43.180 exclesia, excordate ecclesia from the heart of the church, the, um, document written by John Paltu in
00:16:52.040 1990 and still not implemented 31 years later, but they tout their sensitivity to those issues as they
00:16:59.120 broadcast explicit Satanism into the largest media market in America to an audience that they
00:17:05.680 acknowledged included basically a prime target audience of 12 to 34 year olds. When we brought that
00:17:12.200 to the public's attention, they talked, took that off their website, but they know they're leading
00:17:16.780 countless souls astray. And in the name of academic autonomy and, uh, independence from the church,
00:17:25.120 they're continuing to do it. Now, of course, this is, this is a farce, um, because it's a, it's a bad
00:17:32.040 excuse. First of all, has Cardinal Tobin even, uh, gone on record and forcefully condemned this in the
00:17:40.000 media? Has he, has he gone on and said how this is satanic music? It is totally unacceptable at a,
00:17:44.940 at a college that calls itself Catholic and it's to be stopped. I want it to be stopped. I asked for 1.00
00:17:49.160 it to be stopped anything. Has he, has he done that? Quite the opposite. This is the archdiocese of
00:17:53.740 Newark and this is Seton Hall university throughout the history of homosexual corruption and the McCarrick 1.00
00:18:01.000 scandal. They developed some of the most hardened, most high budget crisis management processes and, uh,
00:18:09.080 support that a church institution could possibly have. Their, uh, their, uh, suppression machine
00:18:16.920 is immensely powerful. Michael Hitchborn of the Lepanto Institute did a video on this and sent out,
00:18:23.360 uh, uh, emails to virtually every bishop in America about this last year. Uh, within, um,
00:18:31.040 a day, um, Ganton, the university's crisis management firm, had, uh, sent out emails to all of the bishops,
00:18:38.300 presumably denying all of this. So they have described our complaints as disinformation and,
00:18:46.220 um, that has sort of been the strategy throughout the whole McCarrick era. You deny and suppress and,
00:18:56.780 uh, ignore the problem. I mean, if we look at what unfolded with McCarrick, we can ask the question,
00:19:03.000 what was the church doing? Was it taking its time to, in a Christ-like manner and in a discreet manner,
00:19:10.040 deal with a situation that needed to be dealt with? And perhaps it takes the church years to do
00:19:16.820 that kind of thing. It's obvious in the case of McCarrick that that's not what was happening.
00:19:21.640 It was being ignored. It was being suppressed and it went on for decades. That's exactly what's
00:19:27.580 happened with WSOU in exactly the same community, same archdiocese, same university. And there is no
00:19:37.080 accountability. What there is, is a suppression machine. Well, you've taken this complaint direct
00:19:43.220 to, uh, Cardinal Tobin himself. I understand you're going to do that again in the future.
00:19:48.960 Sure. Tell us about that. We have an event coming up on Monday, September 26th. Uh, our protests have
00:19:55.120 been small in the past, but, uh, the protests this year have been much bigger. We're gaining momentum
00:20:01.260 and enthusiasm in part due to the coverage of the New York post. Um, most of the independent Catholic 0.99
00:20:06.840 media outlets have covered this, uh, multiple times and, uh, our movement is growing. So we invite
00:20:14.200 anybody who wants to participate in this to join us at Seton Hall at South Orange Avenue and Center
00:20:20.200 Street at 1 PM on the 26th. After that demonstration and prayer rally, we'll be moving to the archdiocesan
00:20:26.800 center in Newark at 171 Clifton Avenue. We'll be there at 2 30 PM. And right near that location is
00:20:36.500 Cardinal Tobin's residence. We'll be demonstrating directly under the Cardinal's window to make sure he
00:20:42.740 is made very publicly aware of his negligence in the situation. It's an unbelievable thing, uh, that,
00:20:50.320 that the Cardinal has been made aware is not doing anything about it. Well, he is doing something
00:20:54.420 about it. He's doing enough to cover his butt by talking about it. He's not doing anything to
00:21:00.860 effectively stop it. It continues without limits. I want people to have a flavor of where you're coming
00:21:06.820 from on this. Um, so do you hate Cardinal Tobin? Are you, are you, you know, is this really a vendenda
00:21:13.400 about Cardinal Tobin? Um, or what's, what's your take on Cardinal Tobin? I think our church is in, uh,
00:21:19.820 well, you don't really have to say de facto schism anymore, given what's going on in Germany. Uh, we have 0.98
00:21:26.200 open apostasy in the church to the point where parts of it are clearly in schism. Uh, much of the U S
00:21:34.600 church has violated the fundamental teachings of Christ to the point that our church in the U S is
00:21:43.100 in de facto schism. We're at a point where many devout faithful Catholics are saying there's nothing
00:21:50.680 we can do to turn this around. We're not going to be able to fix it for three or four generations
00:21:55.060 because this is so entrenched. I'm of a different view. Uh, we can't let that happen. We can't expect
00:22:02.420 that we'll ever be able to bring it back or that, that it will ever really be resolved. I think we
00:22:09.580 need to fight in this generation to make known the deep depravity that has infested our own church, 0.82
00:22:19.620 bring it to light and use examples, extreme ones such as this, to make it untenable for prelates
00:22:27.920 to allow this to continue. I mean, the Pachamama moment was absolutely critical in redefining, uh,
00:22:36.300 what it means to be a devout Catholic in the world today, uh, and what it means to take a stand against,
00:22:43.520 uh, a church that is violating the first commandment to an extreme. This opportunity,
00:22:48.420 it's not quite as easy and not to crack. Uh, it's, it's more of a war than a battle and it might take,
00:22:55.340 uh, months or years until WSOU was shut down. But this war on this issue is so pivotal to people
00:23:04.300 realizing how far our church has deteriorated, that it is the prime opportunity to wake up
00:23:10.260 the Catholic world about apostasy, about schism, and about fidelity to Christ. So as far as Cardinal
00:23:18.480 Tobin is concerned, uh, I don't know why he isn't, uh, solving this problem. And I don't know exactly
00:23:24.820 why they didn't solve the problem with McCarrick either, but I suspect the reasons are similar.
00:23:29.540 And those are the reasons, those are the things we, we need to root out of our church.
00:23:33.780 Absolutely. And so this, uh, this effort on the 26th, I encourage, uh, as many of you out there
00:23:39.340 to go as possible, uh, to be able to witness to the truth in the church against real demonism,
00:23:45.060 uh, trying to infest the church, trying to infest her children through a Catholic source, 1.00
00:23:50.300 or what should be a Catholic source, uh, and, uh, beg the Cardinal for his own good too. I think one
00:23:57.320 of the things that, um, many don't understand is it's not so much a, um, a, uh, battle against
00:24:04.140 Cardinal Tobin. It's a battle for Cardinal Tobin to help his own soul because he puts himself at
00:24:10.040 peril when he allows the faithful to be led astray. Um, our Lord said, um, and that's why it's so
00:24:16.700 interesting. You mentioned that even if this is 12 year olds access this radio station frequently,
00:24:21.140 um, that our Lord said it would be better talking to the apostles, by the way, uh, it'd be better
00:24:26.320 for you to have a millstone tied about your neck. You'd be thrown into the sea rather than mislead
00:24:31.020 these little ones. And so for Cardinal Tobin in allowing on his watch, not only on his watch,
00:24:36.980 in an institution that's ostensibly Catholic to allow for the misleading of the little ones
00:24:43.700 into the most demonic pit is, is truly astounding. Richard, give us some final thoughts if you would
00:24:51.120 on the state of things in the diocese of Newark and in the churches you've already done, but also
00:24:58.040 what you see as, uh, the hope to come. My deep concerns are about the general issue of what we've
00:25:06.420 allowed to become normal when it comes to human sexuality, when it comes to abortion, when it comes
00:25:12.840 to marriage, when it comes to fidelity to Christ teaching. Uh, we're seeing deep, deep problems
00:25:21.360 across the board in that regard, because as one of the people in our group in Newark often puts it,
00:25:28.320 she fears that leaders of our church may have lost their supernatural faith. I don't know if that's
00:25:35.720 true or not, but I know that they're not responding to these deep forms of corruption in a way that
00:25:42.720 reflects, uh, a motivation tied to fidelity to Christ. Where's the hope? The hope is that we're seeing
00:25:51.540 the laity stand up against this. When so often priests won't, when so often bishops won't,
00:25:59.280 there's a new role for the laity and it's becoming increasingly effective. Catholics aren't good activists. 0.99
00:26:04.940 They're, uh, the flock and the bishops are the leaders and they're taught to, uh, be faithful
00:26:11.300 Catholics by looking at their faith lives that way. So many of our bishops have let us down
00:26:18.340 that it's time for the laity to make it impossible for them to violate Christ's teaching in such
00:26:25.600 profound ways. And when you bring it to light, you can stop. So I think as we stand up together,
00:26:33.500 we can bring about real change sooner rather than later. Amen. Richard Smaglik, thank you so much
00:26:39.580 for being with us on this episode of the John Henry Weston show. Um, tell people where they can go to
00:26:44.040 get more information. What's your website? Uh, how can they get in touch? Our website is
00:26:48.020 shutdownwsou.com. There's an email address on that website and, uh, lots of ways to connect with us.
00:26:55.860 And remember that we're having an event on September 26th at Seton Hall. Information about that is also
00:27:01.780 available on our website. Thank you so much, Richard. God bless you and God bless all of you.
00:27:07.040 We'll see you next time.
00:27:07.980 Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News. I'm coming
00:27:15.120 to you today because we want to be sure that we're communicating clearly with you, our loyal
00:27:21.260 followers. Things are really heating up, as I'm sure you can see. Christians, conservative truth
00:27:27.540 tellers are being targeted, are being banned from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter,
00:27:33.280 YouTube, and Instagram at an alarmingly fast rate. They are attempting to suppress any narrative
00:27:40.580 that does not fit that of the mainstream media. We knew this day would come. We have been warning
00:27:47.180 everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms to continue to reach you.
00:27:54.060 We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms. I'm going to explain in a minute,
00:27:58.060 but the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com because there we will always
00:28:05.020 be. But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe, and our videos
00:28:10.880 can be found on Rumble as well. We would love to see each of you on those platforms too, as they are
00:28:17.260 not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day. More than these alternative
00:28:23.880 social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter. We have really
00:28:30.420 built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing platform, and we have prepared several
00:28:36.140 backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when, we are removed from our current platform
00:28:43.420 as well. Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go
00:28:50.060 directly to LifeSiteNews.com. Make it your homepage. While all of these different platforms are an
00:28:57.060 excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means that you will never encounter
00:29:02.800 any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting. Here's the thing. We will never stop
00:29:10.260 sharing the truth. We founded this organization with the mission to be the life, family, and culture
00:29:16.280 source for men and women who seek to know the truth. We have established a track record of honest
00:29:22.940 reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the globe. Again, I'm encouraging
00:29:31.340 you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list. You can find all the direct links in the
00:29:38.800 description of this video. May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to
00:29:44.500 follow and support LifeSiteNews. I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews.
