The husband of Ashli Babbitt, the election-fraud protester who was killed during the US Capitol riot, has filed a lawsuit to force police to turn over investigation records, including the name of the officer who shot her.

The lawsuit, which was filed last week in the Washington, DC Superior Court, demands video footage of the January 6 shooting, as well as witness statements and documents gathered when the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) investigated the incident. Babbitt's husband, Aaron Babbitt, previously filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the records, but the MPD allegedly ignored a May 12 deadline to either comply or state that it's refusing to release the materials.


The DOJ announced in April that its investigation didn't find sufficient evidence to prosecute the officer who shot Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran. Police chose not to identify the shooter, and there was no media uproar demanding greater transparency, like that called for in officer-involved shootings around the nation.

Comment: The only person killed at the Capitol was a Trump supporter, and we still do not know the name of the officer who killed her. Think about that for a moment or two.

To counter misinformation from anti-vaxxers, we need to mobilise influential people as well as social media influencers to promote vaccination, say psychologists. SOLS Health-Thrive WellResearch and Advocacy director, Dr Arman Rashid said we have to speak the same language as anti-vaxxers in reaching out to the wider society.
"Studies show those who believe in fake news online are more likely to be persuaded by influencers than experts, which means we need influencers to carry the scientific evidence, even though they may not be experts themselves.

"Misinformation about vaccines from anti-vaxxers is not new, but has gained momentum with their movement growing online and it is easy for some individuals to believe in fake news based on reading a blog or watching a video, which is why digital literacy is important amongst all age groups."
An actor as well as an influencer, Beto Kusyairy, 41, said Malaysians should pay attention to what the experts have to say regarding Covid-19, rather than forwarded texts on WhatsApp and Telegram, that are able to skew their perception towards the fatal virus. We have experts in their respective fields. Doctors, religious scholars or muftis in Malaysia and around the world have recommended getting the vaccine. "So, who are they (antivaxxers) to go against these experts? You just have to think logically, " he said when contacted by Bernama.

Comment: While some of the structural precepts stated may be valid, the above persuasion has fallen victim to its own argument.

Critical race theory's poisonous roots trace back to Harvard University

In the past several months, multiple state legislatures have made moves to ban critical race theory — the latest hot-button issue in contemporary American politics — from their public schools. Activists have opined that critical race theory is either the cure for racial injustice in America or the most dangerous force threatening our democracy.

Plenty of writers have explained the main tenets of the theory, some in great detail. But where did it come from? How did an obscure academic theory come to dominate the national political conversation in only a few years?

The answer to these questions lies in the origins of the theory. Critical race theory emerged from one of America's foremost institutions: Harvard University. Tracing the history of critical race theory reveals just how intimately connected it is with America's most prestigious university.

In the wake of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, legal scholars grappled with how the sweeping legislation would affect America's racial struggles. By the 1970s, it was clear that anti-discrimination law and racial integration had not fully healed the nation's race relations. This frustrated many civil rights advocates, who after Martin Luther King Jr. died in 1968 lacked a moral lodestar to underpin their faith in American democracy to solve racial problems.

Why a judge has Georgia vote fraud on his mind: 'Pristine' Biden ballots that looked xeroxed

When Fulton County, Ga., poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden — except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they'd been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil.

Adding to suspicions, she noticed that all of the ballots were printed on different stock paper than the others she handled as part of a statewide hand recount of the razor-thin Nov. 3 presidential election. And none was folded or creased, as she typically observed in mail-in ballots that had been removed from envelopes.

In short, the Biden votes looked like they'd been duplicated by a copying machine.

"All of them were strangely pristine," said Voyles, who said she'd never seen anything like it in her 20 years monitoring elections in Fulton County, which includes much of Atlanta.

She wasn't alone. At least three other poll workers observed the same thing in stacks of absentee ballots for Biden processed by the county, and they have joined Voyles in swearing under penalty of perjury that they looked fake.

Now election watchdogs have used their affidavits to help convince a state judge to unseal all of the 147,000 mail-in ballots counted in Fulton and allow a closer inspection of the suspicious Biden ballots for evidence of counterfeiting. They argue that potentially tens of thousands may have been manufactured in a race that Biden won by just 12,000 votes thanks to a late surge of mail-in ballots counted after election monitors were shooed from State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

A lawsuit filed on Tuesday by Ohio Attorney General David Yost aims to make Google a public utility, limiting the ways the search engine provides search results.

"Google uses its dominance of internet search to steer Ohioans to Google's own products-that's discriminatory and anti-competitive," Yost said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. "When you own the railroad or the electric company or the cellphone tower, you have to treat everyone the same and give everybody access."

The lawsuit — filed in Delaware County Court — seeks two main results: a declaration that Google is a common carrier subject to proper government regulation and reducing Google's power to prioritize the placement of its own products, services and websites on search results pages.

Biden's military puts West Point cadets in solitary confinement if they refuse COVID vaccine

"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:
