"They're being treated like criminals," a whistleblower told National File under condition of anonymity

Military cadets at West Point Academy who refuse to take one of the controversial COVID vaccines are being put in solitary confinement, with more stringent restrictions than those who tested positive for the virus.

At West Point Military Academy, a number of cadets are currently rebelling against the push from the Biden administration and military higher-ups to take one of the controversial COVID-19 vaccines. 700 cadets who initially refused the vaccine were brought together into a meeting room, and were briefed as to the benefits of the vaccine. The number of cadets has now dwindled significantly after allegations of daily pressure by "senior officials" at the school, and rumors of reductions of leave. Some cadets relented and received the vaccine, while many left West Point due to the pressure.

Those who still refuse to take the vaccine are forced to wear masks everywhere, marking them out from everybody else who is vaccinated. A number of parents of those holdouts have now organized legal counsel on behalf of their children, with CDMedia reporting that they are "banding together to fight this perceived criminal behavior by those in power over their children.

A story linking apple pie to the "genocide of indigenous people" now has people debating whether or not to cancel the quintessentially American treat, the latest low for the woke mob.

In the Guardian piece: 'Food injustice has deep roots: let's start with America's apple pie,' the writer, Raj Patel, author and a research professor in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, makes the case for why Americans should perhaps not be too quick to enjoy a slice of apple pie.

"The apple pie is as American as stolen land, wealth and labor. We live its consequences today," the author says in the lengthy piece, which dives deep into the racist roots of that oh-so evil dessert.

Comment: Cancel culture will soon be circling the drain, felled by carrying its impossible requirements to their logical conclusion. Everyone will be cancelled!!

Busted: Unearthed video shows Peter Daszak describing 'Chinese colleagues' developing 'killer' coronaviruses

British-born Peter Daszak, 55, is the president of EcoHealth Alliance, the nonprofit that funneled US grant money to gain-of-function research at WIV and elsewhere. He is seen above participating in the World Health Organization's investigation in Wuhan
EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak - who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on research funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease - appears to boast about the manipulation of "killer" SARS-like coronaviruses carried out by his "colleagues in China" in a clip unearthed by The National Pulse.

Daszak made the admission at a 2016 forum discussing "emerging infectious diseases and the next pandemic," which appears to be at odds with Fauci's repeated denial of funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

While describing how his organization sequences deadly viruses, Daszak describes the process of "insert[ing] spike proteins" into viruses to see if they can "bind to human cells" as being carried out by his "colleagues in China":

Comment: Daszak is looking more and more like one of the backroom manipulators, while Fauci is the friendly public face of the Covid psyop. He even got himself made part of the initial Wuhan "investigation" process.

As the NYPD took action to close New York's Washington Square Park for a 10 pm curfew over the weekend, a black man hurled racial insults at an Asian officer.

"You're not even from this country. Piece of sh*t," the man said to the officer. The officer did not respond to the insults.

"F*ckin' ch*nk, f*ckin' ch*nk, f*ckin' ch*nk. He's a f*ckin' ch*nk. Get the f*ck outa here, ch*nk, get the f*ck outa here," the man said.

"Stay on the sidewalk," the officer tells him.

Federal investigators have sent out subpoenas to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top aides, seeking information pertaining to his nursing home policies in his $5.1 million pandemic memoir, the Wall Street Journal reported late Monday.

The report said the Brooklyn US Attorney's office has asked for documents including contracts and other materials used to pitch the book, "American Crisis" to publishers. According to the Journal, the subpoenas were sent last month to people involved in early edits of the poor-selling tome — including state officials.

The Post previously reported that federal investigators have questioned top Democratic lawmakers present in the now-infamous Feb. 10 meeting in which secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa admitted the Albany administration "froze" when the the Department of Justice requested information pertaining to nursing homes last fall, withholding the data from state legislators in the process.

At least three Albany Democrats have confirmed to the Post that they have been interviewed in connection with the federal investigation.

Comment: Cuomo should have long been impeached for his disastrous handling of the virus and willingness to lie about it and attempt to profit by it:

The vote is said to have passed with a big majority.
The group is said to be looking at replacing the picture with "art by or of other influential and inspirational people".

An Oxford University students' group has voted to take down a portrait of the Queen from its common room.

It reportedly made the decision because some students believe she represents "recent colonial history".

Magdalen College's president said the group did not represent the university, but the decision has already been criticised by the likes of TV host Piers Morgan and Education Secretary Gavin Williamson - who called it "absurd".

WHO advisor says China engaged in "massive cover-up" of COVID outbreak

A leading advisor for the World Health Organisation said Monday that China is still engaged in a "massive cover up" of the coronavirus pandemic, calling for a "full investigation" to be conducted by the US government and it's international allies.

Appearing on Fox News, Jamie Metzl urged that "The Chinese have engaged in a massive cover-up that is going on until this day, involving destroying samples, hiding records, placing a universal gag order on Chinese scientists and imprisoning Chinese citizen journalists asking the most basic questions."

Metzl, a former State Department official and Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, added that "The more that China stonewalls, the more suspicious that it looks."

Comment: Perhaps China is reluctant to cooperate in an investigation because they know it didn't come from them but they also know the outcome of the investigation is a foregone conclusion.

As long as you're not white & heterosexual, all are welcome on the new Progress Pride paint chart parody of a flag

A popular form of the iconic rainbow flag, the Progress Pride version, has been updated and now features colours or symbols to represent nine different groups. In trying to include everyone, it's actually benefiting no one.

Everything has a breaking point. There comes a time when too much weight causes a structure to falter and it comes crashing down.

So, will the latest update to the Pride flag tip the balance and cause everything to splinter, like a metaphorical giant Jenga tower?

Comment: Even if there was originally some positive impetus behind the rainbow flag, these pride flags are nothing but a meaningless virtue signal and corporate marketing strategy.

Christian magazine editor says he won't hire Ivy League graduates anymore because they're either woke and self-important or too afraid to stand up to cancel culture

A Christian magazine editor has revealed he'll no longer hire graduates from Ivy League colleges because they're too woke, self-important or scared

to speak out against cancel culture even if they don't believe in it.

R. R. Reno is the editor of First Things, a monthly religious magazine with a circulation of 30,000.

In an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal on Monday, he said used to jump at the chance to hire from Ivy Leagues, but now it turns him off applicants.

He said from his experience, kids from colleges like Rutgers in New Jersey are 'as talented but less self-important than Ivy Leaguers' and 'more likely to accept the authority of those more experienced'.

'I'm not inclined to hire a graduate from one of America's elite universities.

'That marks a change. A decade ago I relished the opportunity to employ talented graduates of Princeton, Yale, Harvard and the rest. Today? Not so much,' Reno wrote.

He cited a recent example at Haverford, the college he attended, where outraged students protested against what they called anti-blackness on a Zoom meeting where he said they showed 'thin-skinned narcissism and naked aggression'.

British newspaper the Times came under attack on Monday after publishing a sensationalist story making a false claim that six Russian Air Force planes entered sovereign Irish airspace, last year. The report is completely untrue.

Journalist John Mooney alleged that "six Russian aircraft were detected by Nato and European air forces off the west coast of Ireland" in March last year, despite the planes being in international airspace.

In particular, Mooney notes the incursion of anti-submarine aircraft, communications relay planes, and Blackjack bombers.
