BBC, Times smear UK professor skeptical of Syria regime change drive as would-be traitor after his rival's sting op

A UK professor investigating a Western-funded group gathering evidence against Syrian officials was contacted by his target's staff posing as a Russian agent. The communications were framed as potentially traitorous by the media.

The BBC wrote a lengthy piece blasting Edinburgh University Professor Paul McKeigue, a member of a group of academics called the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (WGSPM). The group seeks to expose Western efforts to shield from public scrutiny a long-term campaign to destabilize and topple the Syrian government.

One part of this media spin operation, as suspected by McKeigue and other dissenting figures, is the Commission for International Justice and Accountability (CIJA, formerly SCJA - the Syrian Commission for Justice and Accountability). The organization has an archive of Syrian government documents, some of which were purchased from armed groups fighting against Damascus, which it says it collected to help prosecute criminals who worked for the Syrian government. Skeptics believe its primary goal is not justice but generating bad publicity against Damascus.

America, what is WRONG with you? First came invoking Aztec war gods, now it's 'Satan' sneakers with HUMAN blood

President Joe Biden has said the US will lead the world by the "power of our example." California is now making children worship Aztec gods of human sacrifice and there's a viral campaign for $1,000 custom 'Satan' sneakers.

For a mere $1,018, some 666 "lucky" Americans will be able to buy "Satan shoes," a Devil-themed modification of Nike's 1997 Air Max sneakers, on March 29. The air bubble inside will be filled with red ink and "one drop of human blood," according to a promotional tweet that went viral on Friday.

The price is a reference to the Bible verse inscribed on the shoe - "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven," from Luke 10:18. The custom sneakers were apparently a collaboration between the company MSCHF (Mischief) and rapper Lil Nas X.

The pushback begins: Ohio professor wins free-speech fight over gender pronouns

Nicholas Meriwether pronoun lawsuit ohio university

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of a professor who was punished by his university for refusing to call a biologically male student by the student's preferred female pronouns.

Nicholas Meriweather, a philosophy teacher at Shawnee State University in Ohio, sued the school after officials prepared a written warning against him and threatened suspension without pay or termination if he refused to use female pronouns upon the student's request.

A federal judge ruled earlier that Mr. Meriwether's manner of addressing the student was not protected under the First Amendment and dismissed his claims related to free-speech and religious protections.

Democrat Georgia State Rep. Park Cannon detained outside Georgia governor's office protesting election reform bill

Georgia State Patrol officers detained a Democrat member of the Georgia House of Representatives on Thursday after she interrupted the signing of an election integrity bill by Gov. Brian Kemp (R).

According to individuals' featured footage shared to social media, state Rep. Park Cannon was detained by officers on the scene after she "knocked on the governor's door."

"Stop! Where are you taking me," Cannon shouted as officers escorted her through the halls of the Georgia state Capitol.

"What did she do? Can you cite the code," one individual said to officers as Rep. Cannon was being taken away from the scene.

Comment: "Insurrection!"

Comment: The bill Kemp signed was designed to prevent the type of election fraud that definitely absolutely did not and could not occur in the 2020 presidential election. Georgians will now require a valid photo ID in order to vote absentee. Drop box usage will be limited.

According to Biden, this is "sick", "un-American" and "an atrocity." After all, he was only able to get elected because such safeguards weren't in place. "Civil rights" groups are already challenging the new changes in court.

Vaccine passports 'an enormous can of worms' that will widen societal divides

Among the benefits of receiving a Covid-19 vaccination - beyond protecting yourself and perhaps others from the disease, of course - is that it's probably one small step towards the resumption of international travel. For former frequent fliers itching to take to the air once again or anyone who hasn't seen their family for many months, the prospect of a "vaccine passport", documentation proving that you have been vaccinated against Covid-19, is especially alluring. For the travel industry, the concept is being heralded as a silver bullet.

It's also "an enormous can of worms", according to Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Britain's Imperial College London, who argues that the use of such documents could "create a tiered society of vaccinated, and unvaccinated" in a recent interview with Al Jazeera. In a world where millions are stateless and therefore denied access to health care, education and employment, additional documentation - particularly digital documentation - that proves inoculation or immunity against the coronavirus could widen societal divides.

'Breathing is an OFFENSIVE WEAPON': UK doctor ridiculed for dramatic warning during Covid vaccine passport debate

RT
Fri, 26 Mar 2021 15:44 UTC

A medical doctor who regularly appears on UK television has sparked mockery online after saying that breathing is an "offensive weapon" if you are infected with Covid-19.

During an appearance on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show Friday, Dr. Sarah Jarvis said that though she has "always been in favour of people having choice" - citing her respect for patients with cancer who refused treatment because they weren't harming anyone else - Covid-19 is a different reality. "A big difference here is that breathing is an offensive weapon if you are infected with Covid," Jarvis claimed when asked about compulsory vaccination.

She did argue, however, that those who haven't been vaccinated could provide proof of Covid-19 antibodies if they had already been infected with the virus and received a negative test result instead to gain access to bars, sporting events, and other places, saying people had a "range of options."

Comment: We live and breathe. That is our 'option'.

Brits on social media immediately honed in on her "offensive weapon" comment, calling it "insane" and "bonkers," and joked about people requiring a license to breathe in the same way that guns are regulated.

Comment: Taking a virtual deep breath, comments were aired and shared:

Romney wins JFK 'profile in courage' award for impeachment vote

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is receiving a profile in courage award from the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation for his "historic vote" to impeach then-President Trump during his first impeachment trial last year, the foundation announced on Friday. Former Ambassador Caroline Kennedy said in a statement:

"Senator Romney's commitment to our Constitution makes him a worthy successor to the senators who inspired my father to write 'Profiles in Courage. He reminds us that our Democracy depends on the courage, conscience and character of our elected officials."

Romney was the sole Republican senator to vote to impeach Trump last February on a charge of abusing his power over the former president's effort to press Ukraine to investigate now-President Biden and his son Hunter Biden's dealings in Ukraine. In doing so, Romney made history: He became the first U.S. senator to vote to convict a president of his own party on an impeachment charge.

Romney then joined six other GOP senators in February in voting to impeach Trump, after he left office, over his role in the Jan. 6 mob attack at the Capitol.

Comment: While some might call Romney's distinction 'courage', many would call it 'revenge'.

Race and false hate crime narratives

The reaction to the mass shootings in Boulder, Colorado, and Atlanta, Georgia, over the last week has revealed how invested the Democratic establishment is in one all-powerful narrative. Both shootings produced an immediate response from the media, Democratic politicians, and activists — that the slaughters were the result of white supremacy and that white Americans are the biggest threat facing the US. That interpretation was reached, in the case of the Boulder shooting, on the slimmest of evidence, and in the case of the Atlanta shooting, in the face of contradictory facts.

After the Boulder supermarket attacks, social media lit up with gloating pronouncements that the shooter was a violent white male and part of what Vice President Kamala Harris's niece declared (in a since-deleted tweet) to be the "greatest terrorist threat to our country." (Video of the handcuffed shooter being led away by the police appeared to show a white male.) Now that the shooter's identity has been revealed as Syrian-American and his tirades against the "Islamophobia industry" unearthed, that line of thought has been quietly retired and replaced with the stand-by Democratic response to mass shootings — demands for gun control.

But the false narrative about the Atlanta spa shootings still has legs. It represents a double lie — first, that the massacre was the product of Trump-inspired xenophobic hatred, and second, that whites are the biggest perpetrators of violence against Asians. The most striking aspect of these untruths is the fact that they were fabricated in plain sight and in open defiance of reality. Given the enduring hold of the Atlanta story on mainstream discourse, it is worth examining in some detail.

Papers, please! New York announces 'Excelsior' vaccine passport program

Digitized segregation has arrived.

What was labeled an unhinged conspiracy theory just last year has become a reality today.

Unindicted human rights criminal Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced this week that New York has rolled out the nation's first COVID vaccine passport program with the introduction of the "Excelsior Pass."

According to reports, the COVID-19 vaccine passport is already ready for use at dozens of venues statewide, including at Madison Square Garden. While advertised as a "voluntary" measure, New York State officials are making it clear that not participating in the program will result in an individual being essentially shut out from society.

'Color of skin... important'? Instagram censors artist's comic as 'dangerous' for verbatim quote of woke 'Sesame Street' episode

An American cartoonist got his latest comic removed from Instagram as violating community guidelines. George Alexopoulos had merely put the words from the latest 'woke' episode of a children's show... in the mouth of Adolf Hitler.

"Today's comic was struck on Instagram," Alexopoulos posted on Friday afternoon, adding, "how strange, as I was quoting Sesame Street verbatim."

'Sesame Street' is a popular children's show broadcast on public television in the US. Its most recent episode featured two new characters - a boy named Wes and his father Elijah - explaining to the red-furred muppet Elmo that "the color of our skin is an important part of who we are."

Comment: Critical race theory is a revolutionary/takeover ideology and social movement, akin to Marxism and Nazism. Its goal is to destroy civilization and replace it with the movement's own new social order - as determined by the movement's chief ideologues. And you don't have go go any further than Sesame Street to get a dose of it. Yet it's far-right ideology that is the real problem today, apparently.

if we're to operate under the assumption that mandating vaccines for children is good practice, there remains a difference between mandating...
