The John-Henry Westen Show - What the Immaculate Conception can teach us about the vax mandate

00:00:00.000 This is John Henry Weston for LifeSite News. Welcome friends to this very important conference

00:00:04.980 which we will hear first-hand testimony from those fired for freedom, from medical professionals

00:00:11.680 pointing out the unreasonableness of these actions, from lawyers fighting for the rights

00:00:16.360 of those who are bravely fighting not only for their own rights but also for the good of society

00:00:22.100 in the future, for our children to live free of tyranny which now threatens to envelop the whole

00:00:27.700 world. Around the globe cases are exploding of workers not only in healthcare but in all fields

00:00:34.800 being fired, suspended without pay, laid off because they, for a host of reasons, refuse to submit to

00:00:42.580 the taking of the COVID jab being mandated by governments and employers without justification

00:00:47.540 or reason. You know the insanity of the jab mandate policies is evident especially in the jab mandates

00:00:54.620 for like telehealth and other employees who work remotely from their own homes but are nonetheless

00:01:00.880 fired from their jobs for not getting the COVID jab even though it's impossible for them as remote

00:01:07.900 employees to transmit any disease let alone COVID. So it is the same with university and college students

00:01:16.420 attending classes via Zoom who are forced out of their universities and colleges. Why? For refusing

00:01:23.220 the so-called vaccine. This is complete insanity. But here we are in an insane time that sees competent,

00:01:31.940 loyal, hard-working employees being fired and suspended without pay for refusing to consent to a demand to

00:01:39.120 violate their bodily integrity for refusing to bow to an unwanted, unneeded, unethical, and in fact immoral

00:01:46.780 medical intervention. Things are so extreme that just this week New York City issued mandates requiring

00:01:55.380 all private sector employees to become fully vaccinated with two shots in order to access restaurants,

00:02:01.260 gyms, entertainment venues, and even get this, requiring young children ages 5 to 11 to show proof of

00:02:09.080 vaccination to enter public spaces as of December 14th next week. Look, as you know, when things reach

00:02:18.420 such a fever pitch, this total craziness, when all rationality is thrown out the window, you know that

00:02:26.200 the time is near for collapse. Just like animals when they fight, they fight the hardest when they're about

00:02:32.660 to die. And so too politicians become the most extreme when they are about to suffer defeat. And it is

00:02:40.000 surely seeming that defeat is coming. As true heroes across the globe fight back, standing up for their

00:02:47.420 own rights, for those of others, rights to medical freedom, rights to bodily integrity, rights to

00:02:52.760 conscientious objection. A Toronto paramedic on unpaid leave for refusing the COVID shots has witnessed

00:03:00.000 firsthand their negative effects. She said that her city of Toronto in Canada faces a critical ambulance

00:03:06.840 shortage as a result of municipal vaccine mandates. Her name is Scarlett Martin, and she's a member of,

00:03:16.100 and she's actually, she's a mother of four. And by the way, in the past was awarded an exemplary

00:03:22.340 service medal for her work. She warned that the city of Toronto Ambulance Service is brutally

00:03:27.660 short-staffed. She said that the last week, the last weekend she worked there, there were times,

00:03:34.760 and this is a direct quote, it was night shift over the weekend when several locations had no ambulances

00:03:41.520 to send. Response times are through the roof. It's bad. It will have a huge impact on survivability

00:03:48.340 and lives lost, end quote. And it's not only those in healthcare that are seeing through the charade

00:03:55.120 of a mandated vaccine. The geniuses over at Google are also fighting back. A group of 600 Google

00:04:02.420 employees has written a manifesto demanding that the tech giant management immediately rescind a COVID

00:04:08.940 shot mandate for its employees. And what I love to see is that it's not only the unvaccinated fighting 0.82

00:04:15.680 the mandates, there are all sorts of vaccinated men and women standing up for the freedom for their

00:04:21.220 friends and family, for their colleagues, for their fellow citizens who choose not to be vaccinated.

00:04:26.260 And it's starting to work, but we need to stay strong. Just last week, the Biden administration

00:04:32.700 centers for Medicare and Medicaid services announced, and this was actually just last Thursday,

00:04:38.840 they announced that it will temporarily halt the enforcement of its vaccine mandate for healthcare

00:04:45.740 workers, pending appeal of a federal injunction blocking the measure. On September the 9th,

00:04:53.660 President Joe Biden announced that a series of vaccine mandates for the public were going into

00:04:58.640 effect for private sectors alike, including one with no testing option for around 17 million healthcare

00:05:05.400 workers at medical facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding. So far, 22 states are suing the

00:05:13.580 administration over the move across two different joint suits. So we need to stay strong right now.

00:05:20.780 We need to stay strong. We need to push back. We need to be there to support our brothers and sisters

00:05:25.980 who have lost their jobs and need help right now. So we can all triumph over the tyranny that aims to

00:05:34.020 banish our hard-won freedom. Look, today, on December the 7th, we are on the eve of the feast in the

00:05:42.820 Catholic Church known as the Immaculate Conception. It's the feast celebrated to commemorate God's

00:05:47.300 sparing of the Blessed Virgin Mary from original sin. It was in preparation for her to become the 0.72

00:05:53.540 unstained mother of the Savior, the divine vessel that would bring the Christ into this world.

00:05:58.820 You know, and as we all prepare now for Christmas, these are all thoughts in our hearts. But despite

00:06:06.400 all of that preparation that God did, that Almighty God Himself would not violate Mary's free will,

00:06:14.400 her bodily integrity. In the most well-known verses in all of Scripture, really, verses that we are

00:06:20.700 commemorating right now in the lead-up to Christmas, God Almighty asks, through the angel Gabriel, a poor

00:06:28.160 young girl, or young woman, to accept His offer to her to be the mother of the Savior. We read in the

00:06:36.640 book of Luke, in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth

00:06:43.120 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David, and the virgin's name was

00:06:48.200 Mary. And he came to her and said, Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. But she was greatly

00:06:53.980 troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel

00:06:59.660 said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God, and behold, thou wilt conceive

00:07:05.000 and bear in thy womb a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He will be great, and be called the Son of

00:07:11.460 the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the

00:07:16.900 house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. And then it says that Mary said

00:07:23.340 to the angel, How can this be, since I have no husband? And the angel replied to her, The Holy

00:07:29.360 Spirit will come upon thee, the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore the child to be

00:07:34.860 born of thee shall be called Holy, the Son of God. And behold, thy kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age

00:07:41.440 has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren, for with God

00:07:47.560 nothing will be impossible. And then Mary gives her great answer, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord,

00:07:54.220 be done to me according to thy word. And the angel then departed from her. You know, the church has

00:07:59.940 always placed so much emphasis on Mary's yes, on what is called her fiat, as the moment on which

00:08:08.040 salvation history hinged, as Saint Pope John Paul II wrote in his 1987 encyclical Redemptoris Mater

00:08:16.460 on the Blessed Virgin Mary. And I quote from him, The Father of Mercies willed that the consent

00:08:24.280 of the predestined mother should precede the incarnation. And Mary gives this consent after

00:08:31.860 she has heard everything the messenger has had to say. She says, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord,

00:08:37.480 let it be done to me according to your word. This fiat of Mary, says Pope Saint John Paul II,

00:08:44.600 let it be done to me, was decisive on the human level for the accomplishment of the divine mystery.

00:08:52.320 Pope Saint John Paul II goes on to say in the same encyclical, The mystery of the incarnation was

00:08:57.720 accomplished when Mary uttered her fiat, Let it be to me according to thy word, which made possible,

00:09:04.940 as far as it depended upon her in the divine plan, the granting of her son's desire. End quote.

00:09:12.180 That desire, of course, was to be our Savior, to come to earth to redeem us. So the need of Mary's

00:09:19.780 consent to bear the Son of God is memorialized even over a thousand years ago in the writings of

00:09:28.140 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in one of his famous homilies on Our Lady, where he preached poetically

00:09:33.660 addressing the Blessed Virgin Mary. And he said, quote, Say the word and receive the word. Give yours and

00:09:41.080 conceive God's. Breathe one fleeting word and embrace the everlasting word. Blessed Virgin, open your heart

00:09:48.140 to faith, your lips to consent, and your womb to your Creator. Behold, the long desired of all nations

00:09:55.460 is standing at the door and knocking. End quote. Knocking. The Almighty is asking the permission

00:10:04.900 to enter the womb of one of his own creatures, because he will not violate his gift of free will.

00:10:12.500 The fulfillment of Mary's yes is seen in her own canticle of rejoicing, known as the Magnificat,

00:10:18.880 in which Mary says, My soul magnifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God my Savior, because he has

00:10:23.840 regarded the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will call me

00:10:29.380 blessed, for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. Look, if Almighty God

00:10:36.860 would not violate the bodily integrity of a poor young girl in Nazareth, how dare anyone think to do so

00:10:44.860 today. We must stand strong. We must stand and support those fired for freedom right now, so that

00:10:53.880 we can bring freedom back to our lands, freedom for ourselves, freedom for our neighbors, for our

00:10:59.620 children, and for our grandchildren. LifeSite is so proud to sponsor this Truth for Health Foundation

00:11:05.980 Conference, fired for freedom. Stay tuned.

00:11:11.520 We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms

00:11:16.920 to continue to reach you. We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going

00:11:22.740 to explain in a minute, but the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com,

00:11:28.440 because there we will always be. But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler

00:11:34.440 and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well. We would love to see each of you on those

00:11:41.160 platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every

00:11:46.260 single day. More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe

00:11:52.720 to our email newsletter. We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing

00:11:59.040 platform. And we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when,

00:12:06.620 we are removed from our current platform as well. Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said

00:12:12.900 before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com. Make it your homepage. While all of

00:12:20.840 these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means

00:12:26.820 that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting. Here's the

00:12:32.800 thing. We will never stop sharing the truth. We founded this organization with the mission to be

00:12:39.840 the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the truth. We have established

00:12:46.720 a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the

00:12:54.100 globe. Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list. You can find

00:13:02.160 all the direct links in the description of this video. May God bless you and keep you, and we are so

00:13:08.740 thankful that you've chosen to follow and support LifeSite News. I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and

00:13:14.940 editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.
