YouTube Does Not Believe in Free Speech…gives LFC another strike

September 15, 2022

We received the following message from YouTube. We recorded Joe Blystone, candidate for Governor of Ohio, in March, 2022 while he was on the campaign trail, and reported what he said. He was speaking to potential voters in Willowick, Ohio and did make negative comments on the 2020 election.

Obviously, YouTube is not the platform for any citizen journalist endeavoring to get the truth out to the people. We have switched to Rumble.com to avoid the YouTube censorship.
