If the Lab Leak Theory Turns Out to be True, Will China be Held to Account? – Lockdown Sceptics
Today we’re publishing an original essay by a best-selling, prize-winning novelist about the price we’d be willing to pay if the lab leak theory turns out to be true. Will we just shrug and let China off the hook?
Former NBA Star Kwame Brown Unloads Over ‘Fake Woke’ Biden Supporters: ‘They’re the New KKK’
Kwane Brown is a former NBA star and first-round draft pick. Most recently, as in the past few weeks or so, he's been blowing up social media going off on ... really, pretty much anybody and everybody. He discovered the freedom of no longer giving a rip, turning on his iPhone camera, and seeing what happens. Methinks Brown's recent rant about "fake woke" Biden supporters is going to cause more than few sore buttocks.
‘You’re A Terrorist,’ Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene Laces Into New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Again On Twitter
It is well known that Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has no love lost for her colleague, New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but things have gotten even more intense in their feud.
Taylor Greene shredded Ocasio-Cortez in a Twitter screed over the 30-year-old Democratic-Socialist’s comments on the Israel / Palestine conflict.
“.@AOC you’re responsible for attacks on Jewish people bc of your hate-Israel stance against Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorists Hamas, calling Israel an apartheid state, & supporting terrorists groups. Aligning yourself with terrorists means your a terrorist,” she said on Twitter.
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: This is what happens when corporations mollycoddle political campaigns and ideologies in the workplace. We have seen this with far-left movements BLM specifically or CRT in general.
The precedent is set and then people get arrogant and entitled. Demands will continue to be made from all toxic angles. Their cause MUST be openly accepted and mainstreamed now. There must be no moderation. In the postmodernist utopia, silence = violence, literally. That’s how that works.
The lid has been taken off the can of worms. Get used to this now – BrandX.

A New York City middle school principal is under fire for telling teachers and administrators to “take action” against Israel and make a “public commitment to Palestinian liberation.” Principal Amanda Bueno emailed staffers at MS 136 in Brooklyn a list of actions they should take to support Palestine in the most recent Israel-Gaza conflict.
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Guess they’re properly trying to kill off the franchise now – SkeptiX.
Future Warner Bros Movie Characters May All Be LBGT?
The DC Extended Universe continues to expand, working its way away from the core Justice Leaguers who were the staple when they started. Over the next many years we are going to see kinds of new characters work their way into the Warner Bros. mix in a number of different ways. And apparently, it won’t just adding new characters willy-nilly to the group. According to insider Daniel Richtman, there is a plan to make sure at least 10 LGBT characters are part of the group as they expand the roster. It’s a bold undertaking by the studio in that they have major plans to really bring a whole new look to their current franchise.
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW VIDEO: Kathleen Stock’s book ‘Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism’ looks to have only just been released in the last couple of weeks. I will be checking this out before it gets banned, obviously. (How dare anyone question the postmodernists intransigent view on reality?).
Not one I can say I recommend just yet, having not read it, but there are some similar works in our Recommended Reading section here – BrandX
VIDEO: Kathleen Stock OBE: Trans Women Aren’t Women
It's a view held by most people, so why has it become so controversial to state that trans women aren't women? On this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYI) we are joined by Prof. Kathleen Stock OBE, professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex and author of the best-selling book: "Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism".
Prof. Stock discusses the issues of sex vs. gender and gender identity, and explains how trans activists, arguing that gender is psychological not physical, now claim that womanhood & manhood are genders in a social, rather than biological, sense.
She discusses the possible motives for Stonewall's decision to become so actively involved in trans rights, as well as the vilification of its outspoken critics such as Germaine Greer and Julie Bindell. Prof. Stock has herself been the target of campaigns to silence, cancel and no platform.
Prof. Stock also discusses the negative impact the more extreme trans rights positions are having on women (changing rooms, public toilets, prisons etc.) as well as the young, and gays & lesbians.
The People’s Republic of Oregon Imposes First Vaccine Passports and Conscripts Businesses and Churches to do its Spying
It has come to this. Oregon health officials have approved the rollout of vaccine passports, requiring houses of worship, employers, and businesses to check the vaccine records of adherents, employees, or customers in exchange for being able to take off their masks indoors.
US Army Shuts Down Comments on ‘Woke’ YouTube Videos After Barrage of Mockery
The US Army has turned off the comment sections for their “woke” recruiting videos, including the one featuring a female soldier with two moms. One of the sappy and pandering recruitment videos in their “The Calling” series features Corporal Emma Malonelord from California. It had 61,000 dislikes and only 3,400 likes as of Saturday morning.

NY Times finds support for Black Lives Matter plummeted since last summer, makes zero references to months of riots
The one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd occurs next week on May 25. Following the deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery last year, support for Black Lives Matter skyrocketed. However, just as fast as the support for Black Lives Matter soared, the backing of the movement quickly plummeted, according to analysis from the New York Times.
BBC bias over Israel – the report they still won’t let you read | The Conservative Woman
NATURALLY there is saturation media coverage of the Dyson Report about how the BBC obtained an interview with Princess Diana 26 years ago. The report exposes BBC professional incompetence and moral indecency, and those responsible should be ashamed of their disgraceful behaviour.
This is therefore an appropriate time to ask the BBC hierarchy why they continue to suppress the Balen Report, which was commissioned to investigate biased BBC coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian issue of the type which has been so current these last weeks.
Democrat Left’s Critical Race Theory Preaches Black Failure
Black Lives Matter, the “diversity” police, and other “systemic racism”-mongers claim that white privilege blockades black success.
VIDEO: The British Public Pay Police Wages: We Deserve Better. Stop the Politics & Start Catching Criminals
The British public pay police wages. It's time they left the divisive politics alone & focussed on catching criminals. We deserve better than seeing police take the knee, dance with Extinction Rebellion, make inflammatory comments & arrest decent people for "thought crimes".
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Excellently put. Here is a quick quote in the following paragraph…
“I could not be more disappointed in what I and many LGBTQ officers feel is your blatant hate that is illustrated in your actions”…. “Further the hypocrisy of not allowing us in the parade but then asking for our protection from a far in the case someone treats you as you have us.”
The above quote is definitely familiar, to me at least. On a personal note, I myself have also come to realise that there is no dealing with the the LGBT activist community now. Not without completely submitting to their demands. Demands for pampering, mollycoddling, pedestalising, protecting and celebrating their postmodernist untruths. I am at the point where I just will not get involved.
To be more specific, if I see somebody disrespecting gay/bisexual/trans people or whatever, I generally will not get involved and offer support now. If somebody asks me to sign a petition, or donate to a related charity, the answer will be ‘no’.
Not to ‘throw ones toys out of the playpen’, but they had an ally and now there is one less in me. That will not change until the militant, radical postmodernist element of their activist community decouples completely from them. On a positive note, we are starting to see this from groups like LGB Fight Back.
I am reminded of a Twitter eruption that occurred sometime late last year when the slightly woke movie reviewer John Campea came under undue fire from a Twitter mob, acting on behalf of the LGBTQ community. He had this to say:
And this was John Campea. Lovely respectful guy and VERY professional, but always did seem a bit naive when it came to to speaking on topics of woke supremacy. Well evidently he learnt for himself. Whether he stuck to that, I don’t know.
Anyway, on to the article – BrandX.

VIDEO: Nonprofit Company RESCUES Itself From Critical Theory, The Only Way Is To NOT Back Down
Tim, Ian, and Lydia join co-founders and married couple Grace and Curtis to explain the strategies they used to rescue their business from critical theory.
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: As a non-religious person myself, I have to say that this argument isn’t the best, but it is a damn sight better than the ones in favour of Critical Race Theory and Cultural Marxism. So if that’s the best one going, today at least that’s the one I’ll share – BrandX.
Skillet frontman John Cooper warns critical race theory and woke ideology is sparking a civil war in American churches
John Cooper rails against the anti-racism agenda and says Black Lives Matter wants ‘the opposite of what God has said’
COMMENTARY ON THE BELOW ARTICLE: Funny, I would have been the last person cheering on a successful right wing flag event once upon a time. I had always maintained a central position, but both the far and mainstream left keep pushing.
This business of resentment with a mask of compassion that the left embodies. Their secular religion of hate and false virtue… kind of makes a person want/need to stand shoulder to shoulder with the right. With cautious optimism of course, realising that the tables of totalitarianism can turn and such torches can be passed. Choose your cliché – BrandX.
Antifa fails to shut down right-wing flag event in Oregon City
After being outnumbered, Antifa failed to shut down the weekly right-wing flag event in Oregon City, which neighbors Portland except here law enforcement and the district attorney don’t tolerate rioting.
