Wyoming Senate votes to stop funding gender studies department at state university
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Wyoming State Senate voted to pass a budget amendment that would end funding for the University of Wyoming ‘s (UWYO) gender & women’s studies department.
The senators who voted to halt funding stated that the department produced a “biased” view of education, with some arguing that the program held no academic legitimacy, the Washington Examiner reports.
The amendment, brought forward by State Senator Cheri Steinmetz (R), passed 16-14 vote in the Republican-controlled Senate on Feb. 25.
“I just have to ask you, what are we doing here at the University of Wyoming with these courses?” Steinmetz reportedly asked her fellow senators, after criticizing the program’s goals as being linked to “service and activism.”
Chad Baldwin, associate vice president for marketing and communications at UWYO, told Campus Reform that the Wyoming legislature “as a whole” has yet to take action on the situation.
“We are optimistic the amendment will not be in the final budget approved by the Legislature,” Baldwin said.
Currently, UWYO offers students the option of adopting a major or a minor in gender & women’s studies.
Opinions on the call to stop funding the gender studies program vary amongst UWYO students.
Student Bridger Sparks told Campus Reform that he believes Wyoming is much more than “cows” and “cowboys,” insisting that the university needs a gender studies program.
“The gender studies allows individuals to succeed in a workplace because of the understanding and history of all individuals—it helps you to fully not only accept but embrace diversity. The program funding should be continued through the state,” Sparks said.
Meanwhile, Connor Kasarda, another student at UWYO, told Campus Reform that if there were to be a gender studies program at the university, it should be funded by the people who wish to take the classes the program has to offer.
Student Tyler James asserted that UWYO should not have a gender studies program that “teaches students what to think.”
James told Campus Reform that he believes the gender studies program is promoting “activism.”
A statement on the department’s website states, “Misinformation about Gender & Women’s Studies at UW has been a tool of the legislative action.”
“Senators supporting this amendment stated that removing our program would impact only five students. This is a gross misrepresentation. Gender and Women’s Studies has graduated 81 students in the last 5 years, and our courses (including cross-listed sections) enroll over 500 students per semester,” the department’s webpage reads.
The legislation will now go to the Wyoming House of Representatives.

Russia Is Systematically Destroying NATO Training Sites IN UKRAINE
I will admit up front that I had no idea how extensive NATO’s presence in the Ukraine was until this week. I just had not paid attention. But Russia’s blistering attacks on Yavoriv, Delyatyn, Mykolaiv and Zhytomyr have caught my eye. If you are not paying attention you should.
My most recent article, Russia Exploits Ukraine’s Western Flank, should have been titled, Russia Exposes NATO’s Impotence. That piece addressed the attacks on Yavoriv and Delyatyn. My curiosity is fully piqued and I am now searching the internet for U.S. and NATO documents describing their activities at those sights.
Have you heard about Zhytomyr? Did you know that NATO carried out cybersecurity training for Ukraine at Zhytomyr in September 2018 and described Ukraine as a “NATO PARTNER.”
As part of the NATO Defence Education Enhancement Programme for Ukraine, experts from allied countries visited the Serhiy Korolylov Zhytomyr Military Institute (ZMI) from 24 to 28 September, 2018 to assist with the development of a new course on cybersecurity. Ukraine is one of the first NATO partners (together with Tunisia) to develop such a course.
The experts provided working examples of cybersecurity education in a military institute context (Canadian, Polish and Irish military academies), facilitated through the adaptation of the Generic Reference Curriculum on Cybersecurity. They also demonstrated a step-by-step process to develop a customized course for a specific national context. This included a walk through of syllabus development, and a presentation of detailed lesson plans and laboratory exercises. The exercise involved cyber operations, both defensive and offensive, in support of an overarching military mission scenario.
NATO was training Ukraine for “offensive” cyber operations. Russia did not have to task any intelligence operatives to find this out. All they needed was someone capable of doing a Google search. This is not an imaginary Russian fear. This is real. It is detailed at the link in NATO’s own words.
The Ukrainian base at Myolaiv also was hit yesterday (Saturday):
Mykolaiv has a history with NATO and the United States:
As tensions rise between Russia and Ukraine on the Black Sea, the US is upgrading several Ukrainian naval bases to give American and NATO warships the ability to dock just miles from Russia-controlled Crimea.
Centered at the Ochakiv Naval Base and the military facility at Mykolaiv — 40 miles east of Odessa and less than 100 northwest of Crimea — the American-funded effort includes reinforcing and upgrading existing piers and adding a new floating dock, security fencing around the bases, ship repair facilities, and a pair of brand-new Maritime Operations Centers from which Ukrainian and NATO forces can direct exercises and coordinate activities.
Russia has been worrying about this threat for a while. In July of 2018, Radio Free Europe reported that Ukraine was upset because Russia was naming some of its military units after Ukrainian cities:
According to the Kremlin, the renaming decrees are intended “to preserve glorious military and historic traditions, and to nurture loyalty to the fatherland and military duty among the military personnel.”. . .
Under the decrees, the 933rd Missile Regiment is now called the Upper Dnieper Regiment, after the river in Ukraine. The 6th Tank Regiment is now called the Lvov Regiment and the 68th Tank Regiment the Zhitomir-Berlin Regiment and the 163rd Tank Regiment is called the Nezhin Regiment.
The decrees all use Russian spellings of the Ukrainian names, which in Ukrainian are Lviv, Zhytomyr, and Nizhyn.
With the benefit of hindsight it would appear Russia was sending a very clear message about its strategic priorities in Ukraine.
Finally, it appears that NATO and EUCOM are busy scrubbing their websites of all references to bases in Ukraine that hosted NATO and U.S. forces. I found the following using DuckDuckGo, but the link is broken. Do you think that is a coincidence? I do not.
https://www.eucom.mil › topic › yavorivUnited States European Command Image. 3:19 PM 7/12/2016. A Ukrainian Armed Forces Chaplain and Ukrainian National Guard Soldiers finish a prayer at the closing ceremony for Exercise Rapid Trident 16 in Yavoriv, Ukraine July 8, 2016. The exercise is a regional command post and field training exercise that involves about 2,000 Soldiers from 13 …
I do not know if there were other bases where NATO and U.S. military forces provided training and/or materiel to Ukrainian forces. If the events of this past week are an indicator of future plans, I would not want to spend any time at those bases. Russia is being very clear–“we are going to demilitarize them.”
Nazi Terrorist State Ukraine Admits To Placing Artillery In Residential Areas Following Russian Missile Strike
The Ukrainian government has repeatedly condemned Russia for its bombardment of residential areas that the besieged country claims have no strategic military equipment.
Today, following a Russian missile strike on the Retroville shopping center in Kyiv, the government has inadvertently backtracked on this position.
Earlier today, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced that they had arrested a TikTokker who had filmed himself identifying the location of Ukrainian artillery near the Retroville mall in Kyiv. Russian intelligence agents were assumed to have noticed the video and a missile strike was conducted on the area as a result.
“The video shows a TikTokker who recently posted materials about the location of the Ukrainian military on the Internet,” the SBU stated. “Subsequently, the shopping center, near which our defenders were, was subjected to a powerful missile strike by the Russian occupiers.”
The Kremlin issued a statement confirming that the bombardment struck the intended target which the Russians claimed was housing rockets used by Ukrainians in nearby multi-launch systems.
But Ukraine initially chose to dispute these assertions. The office of the Prosecutor General condemned the strike as “premeditated murder” that violated “the laws and customs of war” implicitly arguing that the target was illegitimate and solely used by civilians. A pre-trial investigation is underway, but the claims made by the Prosecutor General don’t hold up to scrutiny.
With the arrest of the TikTokker who filmed the site before the strike occurred, the SBU has confirmed that there were indeed legitimate military targets in and around the shopping center. The Times also reported that Ukrainians claimed to have witnessed mobile missile launchers in the area.
And, unfortunately for both the TikTokker and the SBU, the assumption that Russia identified the location from posts on social media is contradicted by the release of aerial surveillance footage by the Kremlin. In the video, a UAV tails a number of Ukrainian military vehicles en route to the mall, indicating that this strike wasn’t the product of a loose-lipped Ukrainian seeking internet fame.
Russian officials have long claimed that Ukraine’s military is using the citizens as ‘meat shields’ to either inhibit Russia’s ability to attack or paint Russia as genocidal to the international community. Media organizations throughout the world have largely scoffed at this claim, but revelations uncovered by the strike at Retroville may indicate that there is some truth there after all.
Ukrainian biolabs linked to EcoHealth Alliance, which helped create and unleash COVID-19
The web of lies surrounding the Pentagon-run biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine and elsewhere continues to unravel with new evidence showing that Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) is also involved.
Along with Metabiota, EHA is a longtime partner of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which has been funding its bioweapons operations in Africa and elsewhere.
In 2009, USAID launched an early warning system for new and emerging diseases in 21 countries that was led by the University of California Davis‘ One Health Institute. One of the core partners on this project was EHA, along with Metabiota, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Smithsonian Institute.
According to the Daily Exposé, PREDICT partnered with EHA to carry out a nine-year effort to catalogue hundreds of thousands of biological samples, “including over 10,000 bats.”
A 2015 study funded by PREDICT looked at a “diversity of coronaviruses in bats.” The publishing of this study in 2017 preceded the unveiling of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) plandemic, which began in 2019, by just two years.
Entitled “Global patterns in coronavirus diversity” and published in the journal Virus Evolution, that paper explained how PCR assays were used to detect both known and novel coronaviruses.
“Results of a five-year study in 20 countries on three continents have found that bats harbor a large diversity of coronaviruses (CoV), the family of viruses that cause Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS),” wrote Columbia University‘s Mailman School of Public Health about the research.
One of the study’s 16 authors was, of course, Daszak, whom we know has serious conflicts of interest pertaining to the COVID plandemic. At that time, however, Daszak falsely declared no conflicts of interest.
EHA Executive Vice President William Karesh was also listed as an author. Daszak and Karesh’s company, we now know, is a longtime partner of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which is where the Fauci Flu is believed to have “escaped.”
“Notably, the relationship between the WIV and the American Biodefence establishment was advanced by EHA policy advisor, David R. Franz, former commander at US bioweapons lab at Fort Detrick,” further explained the Exposé.
WIV’s Dr. Shi Zhengli, a.k.a. “Batwoman,” had also worked with EHA’s Daszak on bat-related studies. As far back as 2005, Daszak and Zhengli were conducting research on SARS-like coronaviruses in bats. Several PREDICT-funded studies on SARS-like coronaviruses and Swine Flu count with both Zhengli’s and Daszak’s contributions. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these is a 2015 PREDICT and NIH-funded study she co-authored entitled: “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”
EHA whistleblower says he believes Peter Daszak is a CIA “double agent, EcoHealth is a CIA front organization
Andrew Huff, a former vice president at EHA turned whistleblower, came forward to reveal that highly dangerous gain-of-function research was being conducted, and the funding managed, by his former employer.
EHA partners with and accepts cash from a variety of sources, Huff further revealed, including not just the National Institutes of Health (Francis Collins) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (Tony Fauci), but also a slew of other government agencies, private corporations, and foundations such as Google, Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Department of Defense (DoD) also funded EHA, according to an image tweeted by Huff on February 15 showing a list of contributions over the years.
“Rumor is that the DoD has been lying to Congress about funding EHA,” Huff wrote in the caption.
Huff believes that Daszak works directly with, or even for, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Huff stated that Daszak could be “a double agent working on behalf of the Chinese government,” and that EcoHealth is basically just “a CIA front organization.”
In a January 23 Twitter thread, Huff broke this all down even more, explaining that “not only is EcoHealth Alliance a CIA front organization, but the United States of America is primarily responsible for COVID, not China. COVID was a U.S. scientific R&D program where COVID was transferred to China.”
In other words, it might be better to call this thing the American Virus as opposed to the Chinese Virus. Or better yet, how about we call it the Pentagon Virus or even the NATO Virus?
Whatever the case may be, this rabbit hole clearly goes a whole lot deeper than even the “conspiracy theorists” thought it did.
“The start of the COVID-19 bioweapon was at the UNC lab with Baric and Shi,” wrote someone at the Exposé, UNC referring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the others referring to Ralph Baric and Shi Zhengli.
“It would appear that the first COVID-19 bioweapon version was completed in 2015 in a joint effort by the U.S. and China,” this same commenter added after putting a few other pieces together.

A “death warrant”: Foreign volunteers being told by Ukraine’s government they won’t be allowed to leave until war with Russia is over
For all of its faults, the Biden State Department warned Americans considering traveling to Ukraine to volunteer to fight Russian forces that they should not go because it was inherently dangerous and there was no guarantee that the U.S. government could help them in any way once they set foot on Ukrainian soil.
Other Western governments were also warning their citizens not to go, and for the same reason: Their governments couldn’t help them after they entered Ukraine.
Now, foreign volunteers who defied their governments and ignored their warnings are learning the consequences.
According to The National Pulse, volunteers are being informed that they’ll not be able to leave Ukraine anytime soon, which some have likened to “a death warrant.”
The outlet reports that foreigners are asked to sign contracts to fight alongside the Ukrainian military with no end dates, making them indefinite enlistments, and while the government in Kyiv has denied that, officials also have not provided any evidence proving otherwise — such as they have not publicly unveiled contracts so that media outlets can verify whether or not the government is being truthful.
The National Pulse adds:
As the nation’s war with Russia broke out, the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine was formed, with people from around the globe welcomed – and encouraged – to join the fight. At the beginning of March, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced to his Telegram channel that 16,000 foreigners (the number is now estimated to be 20,000) had volunteered.
Some of the volunteers are former military personnel, while others have joined with little to no combat experience. But despite wanting to join the Ukrainian army, recruits from across the West are being turned off upon their arrival at the Polish border, with many claiming they have been unable to see contracts until they arrive in Ukraine.
Volunteers who continued on with the enlistment process have revealed that, indeed, the contracts for foreign volunteers are indefinite.
The contracts reportedly say that foreign volunteers must join under the “same obligations” as Ukrainian men, with recruits told they’ll be paid 7,000 hryvnia per month, or the equivalent of $237.37. Ukraine is currently under martial law, and because of that, anyone signing a contract to join the military between the ages of 18-60 must “remain in the Ukrainian foreign legion for the duration of the war,” leaving many to believe they have signed a “death warrant,” according to eyewitness accounts, The Economist reports.
In addition, according to other published reports, those who enter Ukraine to fight the Russian invaders have reported very poor vetting procedures as well as violence from Ukrainian officials who mistook them for Russian saboteurs. One British soldier talked about his experience in dealing with Ukrainian military and government officials, claiming to have had his head “slammed” down, while striking him “eight or nine times” which left him with heavy bleeding and a concussion, The National Pulse noted, citing a report from British outlet The Sun.
After the Ukrainian government announced that some foreign nationals had joined the Ukrainian military to fight, the Kremlin warned that there would be “criminal” prosecutions of those fighters if they are captured.
Normally, members of an opposing military are afforded prisoner of war status, but a Russian military spokesman noted recently that any foreigners aiding Ukraine would instead be considered “mercenaries” and treated as such by not being able to “enjoy the status of prisoners of war.” According to The Scotsman, the spokesman noted instead that, “at best, they can expect to be prosecuted as criminals.
Furthermore, Russian military officials have said in an announcement that their forces have “killed 180 foreign fighters in Ukraine” and that the destruction would “continue,” according to the Jerusalem Post.
So the lesson here is simple: For any foreigners who go to Ukraine to fight Russians, one way or another you’re going to wind up dead.

Court facing compelling testimony from Charter signatory Brian Peckford as action proceeds to strike down vaccine travel ban
POSTED ON: MARCH 22, 2022
OTTAWA: The Justice Centre announced today that its legal team has eleven affidavits in the Federal Court lawsuit to strike down the federal government’s mandatory Covid-19 vaccine requirements for air travellers (the “Travel Ban”). The Notice of Application was initially filed on February 1, 2022 behalf of several Canadians from across Canada challenging the Travel Ban on the basis that their Charter rights and freedoms have been infringed.
The main applicant in the case is former Newfoundland Premier, The Honourable A. Brian Peckford. Mr. Peckford is the only surviving drafter and signatory to the 1982 Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In his sworn affidavit, Mr. Peckford states: “What I find perhaps the most disturbing is that the federal government has mandated a two-tiered society where one group of people has benefits while another group is disadvantaged. As a person who has chosen not to receive the new medical treatment, I am all of a sudden treated as an outcast, labelled a “racist” and “misogynist”, and as an undesirable person not fit to be seated with vaccinated people on an airplane … The Covid-19 vaccinated are allowed to travel by airplane and to see their families and the unvaccinated are not. This is not the Canada I know and love, and this type of segregation causes me utmost sadness.”
In October of 2021, the federal government announced that anyone travelling by air, train, or ship, must have taken the requisite number of mRNA Covid shots (currently two).
The travel vaccination mandate has prevented approximately 6 million vaccine-free Canadians (15% of Canada’s population) from travel within Canada and prevents them from flying out of Canada. The evidence filed with the court shows how the Canadians involved in the lawsuit cannot travel to help sick loved ones, cannot get to work, cannot visit family and friends, cannot access health care outside of Canada, cannot take international vacations, and cannot live ordinary lives.
Expert medical evidence now filed with the court ranges from scientific evidence about Covid spread among both vaccinated and unvaccinated; risks associated with taking the new Covid vaccines; vaccine harms such as myocarditis and possible effects on fertility; and the superiority of natural immunity.
The Federal Court has consolidated the Justice Centre action with three other similar cases, brought by other unrelated parties, asking for the travel ban to be ruled unconstitutional. All applicants have asked the Federal Court to hear the case on an expedited basis given the serious infringement on Canadians’ mobility and other rights. The parties have agreed to the following timelines, and hope to have the matter heard in September of this year at the latest:
March 11 – Service of Applicants’ Affidavits and Documentary Exhibits
April 25 – Service of Respondent’s Affidavits and Documentary Exhibits
May 16 – Completion of cross-examination on Affidavits
June 6 – Service and filing of Applicants’ Records
June 27 – Service and filing of Respondent’s Record
Fall 2022 – Hearing (proposed timeline)
“Canada is the only country in the developed world that bans unvaccinated citizens from air travel,” states Keith Wilson, Q.C., lead counsel on the case for the Justice Centre. Mr. Wilson adds, “Canada’s ban on unvaccinated flying is especially egregious given Canada is the second largest country in the world by landmass and Canadians have a far greater need to use air travel for work, family and health reasons than do the citizens of most other countries.”
“Our experts confirm that both the vaccinated and unvaccinated spread Covid. This means the government’s rationale for the ban on air travel is fatally flawed and there is no justification for the serious infringement on Canadians’ Charter rights,” notes Mr. Wilson.
“Our evidence refutes government claims that infringing the mobility, conscience, security and privacy rights of Canadians is justified,” states Justice Centre lawyer Allison Pejovic.
“Canadians have the right not to be discriminated against, and this Charter challenge seeks to enforce that right,” adds Ms. Pejovic.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is a non-profit national constitutional law organization funded by voluntary donations from concerned Canadians.
