“We’re Done Wearing Masks” – Brave Students Across Washington State Protest Masks in Schools

Brave high school students across Washington state protested masks in schools on Wednesday.

The high school students said they were tired of being kicked out of class for refusing to wear a mask.

“We’re done wearing masks,” the students said as they walked out of class and into the parking lot at Washougal High School.

Students at Union High School are done with masks too.

“When you speak up for your freedoms, you’re going to be heard. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the parking lot or inside the school,” one of the students said to TPUSA’s Katie Daviscourt.

Propagandist for Syria terror proxies compromised Amnesty International, leaked docs show

Amnesty International was listed as a client of a professional propagandist for Syrian terror groups backed by the UK and US governments – the same militias once condemned by Amnesty.

This December, The Grayzone exposed how a shadowy communications firm, Valent Projects, enlisted a prominent YouTube influencer to front a covert state-sponsored influence operation designed to undermine critics of London’s pandemic policies. That company was founded by Amil Khan, a veteran of long-running and lavishly funded UK Foreign Office information warfare operations in Syria.

The overriding objective behind Khan’s involvement in the Syrian dirty war was destabilizing the government of Bashar Assad, while convincing Syrians and international bodies that the militant groups rampaging across the country were a “moderate” alternative. Media across the world was subsequently flooded with pro-opposition propaganda.

In fact, Khan ran communications for armed opposition gangs in the Syrian dirty war – the same militias that Amnesty had previously condemned for perpetrating egregious human rights abuses. He did so while maintaining a personal and professional connection with a top staffer at Amnesty International’s UK branch, Kristyan Benedict.

Amnesty had once covered the atrocities committed by those armed Syrian gangs, but as Khan entered its orbit, listing the human rights group as a client of his firm, Amnesty became a dependable organ of regime change propaganda.

Though Amnesty recently infuriated the US Department of State and Israel lobby by accusing Israel of the crime of apartheid, The Grayzone can reveal that Amnesty International has been subverted and made a part of the malign effort to destabilize Syria – a key objective of NATO states and the government of Israel.

‘Shameful disregard for human life’

Though Amnesty International has become known for a steady supply of flashy, heavily promoted reports drumming up regime change narratives against Syria, it once highlighted atrocities committed by the violent gangs sponsored and armed by the West.

In May 2016 for instance, it published an excoriating report exposing how a number of terror groups had “repeatedly carried out indiscriminate attacks that have struck civilian homes, streets, markets and mosques, killing and injuring civilians and displaying a shameful disregard for human life” in militia-occupied Aleppo.

Between February and April, indiscriminate artillery shelling, rocket and mortar strikes targeting the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) killed 83 civilians, including 30 children, and injured over 700 civilians in residential areas. On the “bloodiest day” ever witnessed by residents of the Sheikh Maqsoud suburb, one man alone lost seven members of their family, including his 18-month-old daughter, two sons aged 15 and 10, and eight-year-old nephew, when an improvised rocket struck his home.

Tennessee lawmaker seeks to ban teaching 'LGBTQ issues' in schools

"Why should we allow another social belief system to be promoted in the classroom and put the Bible and Christian principles at a disadvantage?" the bill's sponsor noted.

Tennessee state lawmakers are considering a bill that would prohibit the teaching of LGBT issues in public schools, but critics say the bill harms children.

If the bill passes, public schools will be prohibited from using "textbooks and instructional materials or supplemental instructional materials that promote, normalize, support, or address lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) issues or lifestyles."

The bill was revived last week after being put on pause due to the COVID pandemic.

"Why should we allow another social belief system to be promoted in the classroom and put the Bible and Christian principles at a disadvantage?" the bill's sponsor, Tennessee State Rep. Bruce Griffey (R-Paris), asked ABC 9.

"The State of Tennessee is not allowed to teach my daughters Christian values that I think are important and they should learn, so I teach those at home," Griffey told Fox 19. "So, if those are not part of the school curriculum, I don’t see how LGBTQ and other issues and social lifestyles should be part of the curriculum."

The bill seeks to "say we're not going to get into the LGBTQ lifestyle issues in public schools," Griffey told the outlet.

Tennessee parent Jude Olubodon, whose child identifies as transgender, slammed the bill. "You're contributing to our children's fear, you're contributing to our children's deaths," Olubodon told ABC 9, adding "You are continuing our deaths and robbing us of our very essence."

Other bills focusing on the LGBT community have been proposed across the country.

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fl.) voiced his support Monday for a bill that would require schools to notify parents of changes in a child's mental, emotional and physical health, named the "Don't Say Gay" bill by critics.

"I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community — especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill — to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are," President Joe Biden attacked the Florida bill on Twitter. "I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve."

Children of Two Polish Journalists Threatened with Death

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) on Monday urged Polish authorities to “swiftly and thoroughly” investigate death threats received by children of two journalists, and ensure that they and their families are safe.

On January 20, Mateusz Czuchnowski, the son of Gazeta Wyborcza reporter Wojciech Czuchnowski, received several calls from different police stations saying that they had received bomb threats that came from his phone number.

On the same day Mateusz, who works as a cinematographer, received also a voice message that said he will be killed for “betraying the motherland.”

Journalist Wojciech Czuchnowski, who has recently covered the alleged use of Pegasus surveillance spyware against opposition politicians in Poland, tolds CPJ that his son’s phone has been spoofed.

Then on January 31, the daughter of Tomasz Lis, editor-in-chief of the Newsweek Polska weekly, Pola Lis, received similar death threats for “betraying the motherland.” Lis’ daughter is a columnist who covers sports, and Lis himself frequently comments on news, criticizing the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party.

Both Liz and Czuchnowski reported the threats to the police and believe their children were targeted because of their work. “My understanding is that I am targeted,” Tomasz Lis told CPJ.

“Polish authorities should take the death threats and harassment of journalists Wojciech Czuchnowski and Tomasz Lis’ children seriously, and hold the perpetrators to account,” said Gulnoza Said, CPJ’s Europe and Central Asia program coordinator.

“Journalists in Poland who critically cover the government should be able to report freely, and authorities must ensure that they can continue their work without fear or intimidation,” he added.

Prenatal ultrasound can spot early signs of autism, Israeli research finds

Diagnosis from scans could enable starting treatment at birth rather than waiting years, possibly boosting the results

Routine ultrasound scans during the second trimester can spot early indications of autism spectrum disorder, enabling early intervention, according to a new study by researchers at Ben Gurion University and Soroka Medical Center.

Researchers from the Azrieli National Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment Research spotted anomalies in the heart, kidneys, and head in 30 percent of cases where the child later developed ASD, the university said in a statement Wednesday.

That’s a figure three times higher than typically found in fetuses in the general population.

The study was published last month in the peer-reviewed journal Brain, and will be discussed at the annual Israeli Meeting for Autism Research, scheduled for later this month.

Links have been found between fetal abnormalities and subsequent diagnosis with ASD, though data on the matter is still lacking. Whereas previous studies have shown that children born with congenital diseases, in particular those involving the heart and kidneys, had a higher chance of developing ASD, the current research showed it was possible to see the signs even before birth.

Rebel Labor MP who crossed the floor against Daniel Andrews on corruption probe referral faces party expulsion

A Victorian Labor MP faces expulsion from the party after she sensationally crossed the floor to have Daniel Andrews and the Red Shirts rort investigated.

The Victorian Labor Party is expected to expel one of its MPs after she supported former powerbroker Adem Somyurek in referring Premier Daniel Andrews to be investigated over the infamous red shirts scandal.

Mr Somyurek successfully moved a motion in the state’s Legislative Council on Wednesday for the Ombudsman to investigate Mr Andrews’ role in “designing, propagating, and facilitating” the scheme.

Parliament was rocked when Western Metropolitan MP Kaushaliya Vaghela sensationally crossed the floor to vote with her former factional ally.

Ms Vaghela’s support was crucial in securing the referral which was successful 19 votes to 17.

However, Labor Party rules forbid members from crossing the floor against party positions, which will likely see Ms Vaghela expelled from caucus.

On Thursday, the Premier said he understood that Ms Vaghela had notified “other colleagues of mine” that she would resign, but refused to comment on her potential expulsion.

“The rules of the party are very clear but let’s wait and see if that’s necessary,” Mr Andrews told reporters.

“If she’s already resigned there’ll be no need for us to deal with that issue.”

Ms Vaghela outlined why she crossed the floor and said that branch stacking was “endemic in the ALP”.

“I was a former staff member for the Socialist Left faction, so I know all about their branch stacking activities and their electorate officers being used for factional purposes,” she said in a statement.

Biden White House in Panic Mode over Truckers – Psaki Claims Freedom Convoy is More Disruptive Than the Authoritarian Mandates They’re Protesting

As thousands of truckers continue to protest, disrupting the supply chain by shutting down major ports of entry across the northern US border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to slander the protesters during Wednesday’s press briefing by claiming that the grassroots movement has become more of a disruption than the freedom-crushing mandates that they are protesting.

In response to a reporter’s question about the Biden administration’s plan to handle the gridlock on the Ambassador Bridge at the Windsor-Detroit crossing, which is used to transport an estimated $450 million in goods each day, Psaki downplayed the effect of the protesters, claiming that they are not the cause for the “congestion.”

Yes, really – The blockade of truckers is not the primary reason for the bridge shutdown is seriously what they are going with. And in a prepared statement, no less.

It’s all falling apart, and the White House knows it.

“Well let me first start by saying I know there’s been some suggestion, not by reporters necessarily at all, but, that this congestion is related to the vaccine requirements. It’s not… but the protests going on across Canada which have spread to a bridge, are leading to sporadic congestion and blockages.

“I would, just going back to my point I was trying to make, is that across what we’ve seen, with these requirements, is across a range of industries, vaccination requirements have been implemented with no disruptions, have helped increase vaccinations, these requirements help protect more people from COVID, and there has been zero indication across these industries that they would lead to disruptions, including on this policy.”

Zero indication? As if the Trucking Companies haven’t been warning for months that a Trucker mandate would “devastate the economy.” What a convenient piece of information to ignore. It’s almost as if they are trying to spin a narrative or something.

On the other hand, despite claiming that the truckers have little to do with the current standstill, Psaki adds that the freedom convoy participants have become more of a disruption to everyday life than the arbitrary restrictions that have been placed on citizens for disobeying the tyrannical public health regime.

Psaki continues by claiming the current regime, “of course,” “as you know” (really have to hammer it home), support the right to freedom of speech and protest, but – and that’s an awfully damning ‘but’ – apparently not if they begin to impact the regime’s bottom line:

“We of course, support, as you know, the right to freedom of speech and protest. But, while we do see some of these congestions due to protests this is clear that these disruptions have broadened in scope beyond the vaccine requirement implementation. Beyond that, we are of course in touch with our Canadian counterparts, but I don’t have any updates in terms of specific steps.”

Kind of the point, no? The elitist hacks who have been parroting the Covid fear porn for years have enjoyed the hypocritical protection of their status, galavanting around maskless while the ‘common folk’ around them are forced to work with their faces covered, or, worse yet, have been purged from their ability to make a living completely because of the vaccine mandates.

Throughout the pandemic, elites have felt little disruption at all, but the trucker convoy’s civil disobedience is finally hitting them where it hurts – their wallets.

In Major Reversal of Covid Plans, Hawaii Dem Governor Will NOT Require Tourists to be Boosted

Hawaii’s Democrat Governor David Ige on Tuesday announced he will no longer require travelers to be fully vaccinated and boosted in order to skip the mandatory quarantine.

Just a few weeks ago Ige announced travelers who do not have the Covid booster will be ordered to quarantine for five days.

Here we are just a few weeks later and Ige announced a major reversal of his Covid vaccine mandate plans.

What changed?

“In making this decision, we considered declining COVID-19 case counts in Hawaii, the continental U.S. and Europe,” Ige said in a statement. “Hospitalizations have also dropped.”
