‘Anti-science’ Corbett Report Removed from Youtube
I posted Episode 398 of The Corbett Report podcast, “Science Says,” around 10 PM Japanese Standard Time on Friday, April 9th, 2021, and then went to bed. Sometime shortly after midnight, the main Corbett Report channel was removed from YouTube.
And, just like that, 14 years of work—some 1700+ videos, 569,000+ subscribers and 90 million+ video views—was erased from the digital ether. . . . Well, the GooTube portion of that digital ether, anyway.
Learning about the banning after waking up on Saturday morning, my only thought was, “Well, that took longer than I expected.”
Indeed, it was not surprising in any sense that this was the report that led to GooTube purging my main channel. When you release a video on an account that already has two strikes for information that “contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19” and that video itself contains information calling those very authorities’ pronouncements into question, you better believe the thought that this might be your last YouTube upload crosses your mind when you push that publish button.
Heck, the “offending” podcast even centers around an op-ed comparing COVID skeptics to terrorists and calling for the UN to mount a “counteroffensive” against them. Of course this video was going to be censored.
What’s more, this had been a particularly difficult report to post in the first place. After rendering and uploading to GooTube, the GooTube censorship copyright check flagged the 30-second clip of “Bill Nye Saves the World” embedded in my commentary on The Weaponization of Science and refused to post the video.
In a sense, it’s even more fitting that it was specifically a video about the philosophy of science that ended the channel. Not a documentary about the central banking system. Not an expose of false flag terrorism. Not a hard-hitting report on geopolitics or hidden history. No, a podcast about science that quotes Thomas Kuhn and highlights the growing politicization of science.
I say it’s “fitting” that such a report would be the one to do in the channel not only because I have been exploring this theme over and over in different ways since the very earliest days of The Corbett Report (since at least Episode 006 of the podcast, to be precise), but because in a sense the removal of The Corbett Report’s YouTube channel provides the ironically hilarious answer to a question that I had as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and naive undergrad over two decades ago.
You see, as I explained at the beginning of The Weaponization of Science video, I began my university career as an aspiring physics major. But after a semester spent in chemistry labs, applied mathematics courses and physics tutorials, I decided one day that I wanted to take my life in a completely different direction. So I dropped all my science courses for the upcoming semester and replaced them with English courses.
As one of the very, very few scientifically inclined students in the entire English department, I found that I was particularly on guard against all the eye-rollingly ignorant ways that those in the humanities attempted to add gravitas to their arguments by shoehorning inaccurate analogies about poorly understood scientific concepts (like “relativity” and “quantum mechanics”) into their lectures and papers. And so it was that I found myself approaching one professor during his office hours after he made a remark about how science was “politically determined.”
“How can science be politically determined?” I demanded of him indignantly. “If I drop this tape dispenser off your desk it’s going to fall at 9.81 m/s2 regardless of who is in political office.”
My professor, for his part, had only to prompt me to consider the inquisition’s investigation of Galileo for me to realize his point. Yes, scientists can be intimidated into proclaiming whatever the authorities—political, religious or otherwise—tell them to proclaim, even if it goes against their experimental results. The Galileo example may have been a particularly blunt one (and may or may not be apocryphal), but it hit the mark.
I never forgot that lesson. It is part of what has informed my work on the various pseudoscience fads, trends and hoaxes that have been foisted on the masses over the preceding century, from eugenics to Malthusian fearmongering to the catastrophic anthropogenic climate change myth.
Fast forward 20+ years and here I am daring to point out how the neo-inquisitionists are purging all criticism of their pseudoscientific pronouncements and . . . poof. Channel gone. Which kind of proves my point, doesn’t it?
Now, as I do not need to tell my regular audience, none of the videos are actually gone. Every single video has been backed up to LBRY. Years worth of videos are also backed up to BitChute, and, to a lesser extent, Minds and Archive.org.
Every video since 2011 is downloadable directly from my servers. But if you don’t know that by this point, perhaps you’re not really ready to follow The Corbett Report into the Brave New (post-YouTube) Internet. Newsflash: this is 2021. If you’re still using YouTube to get your news, history and political information then you’ve got bigger problems than just the loss of The Corbett Report.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the “infowar” is not an analogy but a stone cold sober reality, and the fact that The Corbett Report was able to use a major enemy information platform to propagate the truth to the slumbering masses for 14 years is a major victory in and of itself.
So long, GooTube. Thanks for helping me to unlock so many minds. You will not be missed.

This is nothing really unexpected. Youtube is gradually purging anything that speaks out against the entrenched polemic on just about any subject now.

The only reason Corbett has lasted this long on Jewtube with it’s ADL censors is because he never uses the word Jew nor refers directly to the Zionists when for instance detailing their activities in WW1 or in 911. He always refers to them as simply globalists. Although Corbett does a good job as in his report on the missing trillion dollars by Jewmerica’s Defense Dep. conveniently reported the day after the 911 job he was careful not to incriminate Rumsfeld but merely ascribed his actions to a lack of oversight.
Corbett has now found out that free speech and the truth is what the Zionist Jews say it is and nothing else. Free speech is not so we can talk about the weather or only about ADL approved topics with the proper narrative such as the tragic holohoax, properly address all the Fake Floyds and Breonna Taylors, Los Vegas type psyops, and staged BLM- Proud boys (head man exposed as FBI informer) conflicts. While 905 of crime N.Y. City is committed by non whites we are as directed by the Jew MSM are to focus only on white supremacists (never met one) and with privilege. Years ago when someone complained about indecent programming, the depiction of prostitution or homosexuality in the films, the Jews were the first to say :if you don’t like it change the channel.” Now it’s the Jews that are complaining so let them just change the channel. As far as Jewtube, facebook, Twitter etc. they are benefitting from technology developed by the taxpayers money so they should be required to air all sides, not just the ADL approved ones.

Hi TomO, MattH, and hopefully PSI Readers,
Welcome back TomO. And MattH because I know you recently sent me a comment about how I should not expect PSI Readers to actually go to the link I supplied to see what actually observed (measured) scientific data looks like.
This is because, you stated (as I remember) that readers actually do not come to PSI to learn something. Well this might be true for you, I do not believe you can speak for TomO and every other reader. It is true that the PSI articles have become so numerous that it hard to find what Herb, James, Joseph, etc. have written in the past that was not a frivolous activity.
So in case you missed it, I have copied and pasted a previous comment made on April 1 that was not intended to be a April Fool joke. As edit a bit.
Hi Herb and hopefully PSI Readers,
I forgot to also write in the last comment that you also need to read Book III of Newton’s THE PRINCIPLIA.
I can anticipate that most ‘modern’ people will find this assignment TOO time consuming because your (readers) objective is not to become a SCIENTIST for there are many other productive professions or necessary other human activities–like farming and collecting and deposing of garbage, teaching, delivering mail and packages, etc.
As an alternative to my reading assignment, keep watching for Herb and my comments to each other. For I know (at least reasonably sure) Herb will not give up what he writes and I state I will not give up what I write.
And discussions like our comments are an essential activity of SCIENCE.
And there is no reason that any reader cannot become part of this discussion (conversation).
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi MattH, TomO, and hopefully other PSI Readers,
MattH, the comment which my comment follows was https://principia-scientific.com/reiner-fuellmich-we-have-the-evidence/. Evidently some still believe that ‘THE EVIDENCE’ in the judicial system should overturn lies (wrong ideas. You should believe the same applies to THE SCIENCE for at least a few of SCIENTISTS of the past believed this. But a fact is that Galileo put his life on the line to absolutely prove that the Earth didn’t stand still and less threatening the proof that bodies twice as heavy did not fall twice as fast.
If the horse doesn’t drink it is nobody’s fault except the horse’s.
Have a good day, Jerry

This is his extras channel.
Apr 13, 2021 Phew by The Corbett Report Extras
So YouTube have removed my main channel. Remember when Time Magazine made You the Time Person of the Year for 2006, proclaiming that the rise of YouTube demonstrates how “You control the Information Age”?
