Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier (shown in this July 2015 file photo) is being investigated over his book (right) criticizing Marxism in the US military
Due to the "complexity and sensitivity" of the case involving a Space Force lieutenant-colonel relieved of command for comments on a podcast and a book blasting Marxism, the Air Force's inspector-general has taken it over.

Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was in command of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado until last week. He was reassigned and placed under investigation for potentially "prohibited partisan political activity," after appearing on a conservative podcast and self-publishing a book that claimed Marxism has infiltrated the US military through critical race theory.


Comment: Echoing a recent letter signed by 124 generals who warned that the US has "taken a hard left turn toward socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government": 120+ retired US generals sign letter questioning Biden's mental health, 2020 election result, warn of 'tyrannical govt'


Comment: Note that under Trump 'critical race theory' training was banned from being by the White House and other government bodies as it was deemed "divisive":

Degeneracy: Columbia Prep students and parents reel after MANDATORY class on 'porn literacy'

Columbia Grammar and Prep School reportedly did not warn students of Justine Ang Fonte’s raunchy lecture on “Pornography Literacy”.
Parents at the posh Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School are outraged they were never told of a fourth "R" being added to the curriculum: raunch.

In addition to the usual reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic, the school this month launched lessons on porn — without informing families or allowing them to opt out, parents fumed.

When juniors at the $47,000-a-year Manhattan school showed up for a health and sexuality workshop, most thought it was "just going to be about condoms or birth control," a student told The Post.

Instead, it was something called "Pornography Literacy: An intersectional focus on mainstream porn," taught by Justine Ang Fonte, who's the director of Health & Wellness at another elite prep school, Dalton.

Comment: The mind boggles that these "educators" are allowed anywhere near children. Good luck to the parents in draining the cesspool.

Four prominent conservative lawyers and activists announced a new organization on Monday that aims to fight back against the "rising tide of left-wing intolerance."

The group "Unsilenced Majority" says they will fight for free expression and target politically-motivated worker firings, cancel culture in education, and "wokeism" in corporate America.
"Today, a new grassroots conservative advocacy organization launched to oppose cancel culture and fight back against the woke mob and their enablers.

"The Unsilenced Majority speaks for an emboldened majority of Americans who recognize the imminent threat that cancel culture poses to our nation. The rising intolerance of cancel culture is breeding fear and paranoia in our politics, across the corporate world, at our children's schools and even in our neighborhoods. It must be stopped. The Unsilenced Majority aims to harness grassroots opposition to fight back against cancel culture before it's too late."

New York AG proposes use-of-force reform, new charges for police prosecution

New York AG Letitia James
The New York attorney general on Friday proposed new criminal charges for cops who use "force that is grossly in excess of what is warranted" as part of a new potential reform of the state's use-of-force guidelines. AG Letitia James said:
"We are in the midst of a racial reckoning in this country. Last month, we saw a police officer convicted for the murder of George Floyd. The [Derek] Chauvin verdict is exactly the exception that proves the rule [that] accountability in these cases is rare. At its core, the system [is] built to protect and shield officers ... and today we are taking an important step to change that reality."
The AG's legislation would change the use-of-force guidelines to make lethal force the last resort after exhausting all other alternatives. It would also eliminate the clause that allows cops to use deadly force if they believe the person has committed or attempted a certain type of felony.

The student government at Rutgers Law School is telling student groups they must promote Critical Race Theory or lose funding, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).

Critical Race Theory is an academic movement transpiring at schools across the country teaching children the U.S. is fundamentally racist, and that they must view every social interaction and person in terms of race or color in order to be "antiracist."

On Monday, FIRE called on Rutgers University to rescind a requirement that forces student groups to host certain ideological events in order to be eligible for funding.

"The Rutgers student government is holding student group funding hostage until students commit to a particular ideology," said FIRE Program Officer Zach Greenberg in a statement to Breitbart News.

Comment: The move is being recognized for the mobster squeeze it is:

Joseph Borgen, 29, spoke to DailyMail.com one day after he was left bruised and battered by a group of pro-Palestinian men in Midtown Manhattan on Thursday
A Jewish man heading to a pro-Israel rally says he thought he was going to die after a gang of pro-Palestinian demonstrators assaulted him in Midtown Manhattan, punching him to the pavement and then pummeling him while he was down while yelling anti-Semitic epithets.

Joseph Borgen, 29, an accountant who lives on the Upper East Side, was wearing a grey kippa and walking toward Times Square around 6:30pm Thursday when a young man with a black bandana started chasing him.

'I turned around to try to figure out what was going on and the next thing I knew I was surrounded by a whole crowd of people who proceeded to physically attack me, beat me, kick me, punch me, hit me with crutches, hit me with flag poles,' he told DailyMail.com Friday afternoon from his apartment after being released from Bellevue Hospital.

Comment: Violence is despicable. The pro-Israel demonstrators, right or wrong, still have the freedom to express their views. This incident will only inflame and harden both sides.


Arrow Up

And just like that, the mask mandate ended

Warnings from generals that the fabric of American society has been ripped. Dr. Fauci under fire in Senate hearings. VAERS reports that the US version of Covid vaccines may have been the predicate for many thousands of injuries and deaths. Then, just like that, mask mandates end; Dr. Fauci changes his tune once again saying that masks can come off, just days after saying that we may be wearing masks forever. The CDC issues new guidelines, and major chain retailers begin changing their masked-customer/masked-employee mandate. Half a dozen states follow suit, and others are set to follow.

There are no coincidences in politics, and it certainly becomes difficult amidst the rapid pace of change in the past week to score those events as random chance.

Perhaps it is merely that human beings have evolved structures in the brain which favor viewing an array of phenomenon as causally related, or a pattern, where in fact it is not the case. Rather, perhaps these are just projections of the functions of mind onto the external world. In the philosophy of science, this is an ongoing debate on the epistemology and utility of, for example, theoretical physics with its reified mathematical modeling. Or perhaps it is simply more likely that, especially in human endeavors relating to power, that the present events touch on each other in causally related ways.

Indeed, it makes more sense to presume that in the field of human matters such as politics, which are all but uniformly intentional, there are no real coincidences.

"No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, No Unvaxxed"

The government is pressing ahead with its Vaccine Passport and plans for a two-tier society are afoot. The effrontery of those leading the charge beggar's belief.

When they said 'there were no plans for 'discriminatory' Covid vaccine passports', they were quietly funding at least eight different vaccine passport schemes since last year.

And that's just the half of it. We are midway through a Europe-wide feasibility study for the development of a common vaccine passport, launched by the European Commission in 2018.

They would have you believe - they were caught with their trousers down, their policies are proportionate to the emergency as it unfolds, and at all times they operate according to a system of informed consent.

But hang on a minute. Since the onset of SARS-CoV-2, they have played the most astonishing game of deception and manipulation. Cooking the books and fiddling the tills.

They have deliberately plunged society into two camps - skeptics and adherents, compliant and non-conformists.

Palestinians return to their houses which were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, after a ceasefire brokered by Egypt between Israel and Hamas, on May 21, 2021.
After 11 days of intense fighting between Israel and Palestinian armed groups, primarily Hamas, a fragile ceasefire that took hold Thursday evening is still in place Friday afternoon. With a brief reprieve from hostilities, Palestinians immediately began repairs to the main in Gaza COVID-19 testing and vaccination site that were damaged by Israeli airstrikes on the ministry of health medical complex earlier in the week.

The ministry of health in Gaza announced today that it had reopened the main COVID-19 lab and could continue processing new coronavirus tests. Additionally, a small lab opened yesterday by the border with Egypt in order to run the COVID-19 test for exiting Palestinians.

Friday also marks the first day in over a week when goods could enter Gaza. In the first round of shipments, UNICEF imported 11,000 doses of the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine, first aid kits, antibiotics, fire extinguishers and bags of blood and saline-glucose.

Degenerates: 'Teen Vogue' explains how to use menstrual blood in witchcraft to their 12 to 17-year-old readers

Teen Vogue, a magazine intended for kids as young as 12, has published a bizarre article explaining how to use menstrual blood for witchcraft.

The article, titled "Menstrual Blood Magic: 3 Spells For Your Period," is the latest installment of their "practical magic" witchcraft series.

The writer Lisa Stardust begins by saying "We've all seen how that stigma is spread, from tampon commercials showing women discreetly discussing their periods to the way we hide our own menstruation when it's our 'time of the month.' Rather than play into this patriarchal shame, witches and other masters of magic believe menstruation is a gift from nature."

Stardust goes on to blabber about how periods are magic especially during the full moon, which forced Teen Vogue to add a disclaimer that the moon does not actually effect your period.

The total weirdo then lists "some ways to use menstrual blood to create your own personal magic."

"Menstrual blood can be used in spells to ward off evil and protect us, if used properly," the author wrote, in a magazine for kids. "
