While Europeans and Americans worry about what freedoms they are giving up by staying unvaccinated, it’s more clear cut for people in Indonesia, as the government there is threatening to fine anyone who says no to a COVID jab.

Reuters reports that Jakarta is threatening residents with fines of up to 5 million rupiah, approximately $360, for anyone who ‘opts out’.

As well as fines, the government is threatening to withhold benefits for anyone who hasn’t taken the shot.

“Sanctions are our last effort to encourage people’s participation,” Health ministry official Siti Nadia Tarmizi said. 

“Deputy Jakarta governor Ahmad Riza Patria said city authorities were merely following rules,” the report states.

The country is having trouble convincing its mostly Islamic populace to take the vaccine, with polls finding that only 37% are willing to get the jab.

Commenting on the move to punish residents who do not comply, Usman Hamid, a director at Amnesty International Indonesia said “A blanket mandate on vaccination, especially one that includes criminal penalties, is a clear violation of human rights.” 

Remember that when it comes here.

Knock knock, it’s the thought police.

This two-tier social system based on vaccination status is the elite’s desired global model.

As we previously reported, from next week Israel, one of the first countries to start vaccination, will allow ‘Green Pass’ holders who have taken the shot to access public spaces including sports events, restaurants and hotels while those who haven’t had the shot will remain on lockdown.

A Cambridge University panel of academics discussing wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legacy concluded that the leader who helped defeat Hitler was actually a “white supremacist” and was leading an empire “worse than the Nazis”.

The London Telegraph reports that the inflammatory comments were made during a discussion titled “Racial Consequences of Mr Churchill”.

Ironically, the event was taking place at the Churchill College, named in honour of the former Prime Minister.

Participants decided that Churchill was “the perfect embodiment of white supremacy”, and labelled the British Empire ‘morally poorer than the Third Reich’.

The academics involved agreed that it is a “problematic narrative” that Britain was ‘virtuous’ in comparison to the Nazis.

One academic, Professor Kehinde Andrews, declared “The British Empire far worse than the Nazis and lasted far longer.”

“That’s just a fact.  But if you state something like that it’s like heresy,” Andrews added, claiming that holding Churchill in esteem is part of a process of “lionising dead white men”.

Another panelist, Dr Onyeka Nubia, claimed that Churchill promoted ‘white supremacy’ because he used terms such as “English Speaking Peoples” and “Anglo-Saxon”.

Others argued that Churchill viewed Indian people as animals, and that his policies regarding India led to mass starvation there in the early 1940s.

Another academic, Dr Madhusree Mukerjee, dismissed Britain’s role in the Second World War, stating that “It was the Soviets who defeated the Nazis and the Americans who defeated the Japanese.”

Before the ‘discussion’ at the college took place this week, Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny, warned that the panel taking part lack historical expertise, and that previous claims made by some of them are  “libels” that are “entirely factually incorrect”. 

Defending Churchill, Roberts wrote that “a white supremacist wants bad things to happen to non-whites… Churchill fought to protect the hundreds of millions of non-whites in the Empire.”

“If the Japanese had captured India in WW2  [that] would have led to perhaps tens of millions of deaths if their record elsewhere was comparable,” the author added.

“In his political career [Churchill] fought again and again against slavery and for the rights of non-whites within the British Empire. Churchill was moreover instrumental in destroying the worst racist in history, Adolf Hitler,” Roberts further urged.

The discussion group was chaired by college fellow Prof Priyamvada Gopal,  who last year made headlines for declaring “abolish whiteness”, and stating that “white lives don’t matter”.

After receiving backlash for the comments, Gopal was defended and then promoted by Cambridge University, despite the fact that Twitter removed her original tweet under ‘hate speech’ rules.

Cambridge is one of the Universities named in a recent study by leading education focused think tank Civitas, which found that free speech at the world’s leading universities is being eroded at an alarming rate owing to the rise of “cancel culture”.

This kind of revisionist history being pushed by race baiting activists who have wormed their way into the fabric of Universities is having real world effects, as witnessed by the boxing up of Churchill’s Parliament Square statue, as well as the Cenotaph WWII memorial in London last year during Black Lives Matter led protests.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan also just appointed a ‘task-force’ made up of unelected woke activists and campaigners to determine whether the capital’s statues and landmarks are ‘diverse enough’.

Joe Biden has scrapped a policy instituted by President Trump that mandated US colleges and universities to report all connections with the Chinese government to encourage transparency in the face of evidence that CCP propaganda is infiltrating the education system.

Axios reports that Trump enacted a policy demanding that education institutions disclose all dealings with the controversial Chinese Confucius Institute.

Trump made sure that under the new policy any institutions failing to comply would lose certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.

However, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs documents show that Biden scrapped the policy on January 26, with an ICE official also confirming to Campus Reform that the policy was done away with by Biden.

In 2018, Trump also signed the National Defense Authorization Act, into which Senator Ted Cruz had placed a provision prohibiting funding to the Chinese-run Confucius Institutes on American campuses. Since that time, scores of schools have closed their Confucius Institute, according to Human Rights Watch.

However, College Fix reported that multiple institutions being scrutinised by the Department of Education have refused to provide internal documents that are thought to contain evidence of undisclosed financial grants from the Chinese government.

Now they don’t have to. Biden has seen to that, once again placating the Communist state.

As we previously reported, many universities throughout America are still allowing what have been described as Chinese propaganda centers to operate on their campuses, despite warnings from intelligence officials that the communist state is using them to infiltrate US society and indoctrinate Americans.

US intelligence agencies have previously labeled the Confucius Institutes as a national security threat, and several universities have since trashed the programs.

In congressional testimony in 2018, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that “The level of naïveté on the part of the academic sector about this creates its own issues. They’re exploiting the very open research and development environment that we have, which we all revere. But they’re taking advantage of it.”

In January, the Department of Justice also arrested a professor at Harvard, as well as two Chinese nationals for reportedly acting as foreign agents.

An engineering professor at the University of Arkansas was also arrested by the FBI and faces up to 20 years in prison for allegedly hiding funding that he received from the communist Chinese government.

Congressional Republicans also expressed concerns that China is attempting to hinder US coronavirus research through such infiltration of US universities.

In May last year, the FBI issued a PSA warning of the Chinese government’s intention to steal American medical research in its quest to find a cure for COVID-19.

Speaking to Campus Reform, Gordon Chang, an expert on United States-China relations, and author of The Coming China Collapse, noted that “estimates put the annual theft of American intellectual property at somewhere between $150-600 billion a year.”

“Some of that actually takes place on American college campuses. China has bought a number of college professors, a number of them have been fingered by the FBI and they’re pending investigations, and Chinese students have been engaged in activities…for instance, downloading entire databases for China.”  Chang added.

Referring to the Confuscious Institutes, Chang said that they “report in reality to the Communist Party’s United Front Work Department. That means these are attempts to subvert other countries.“

“The U.S. is not permitted to have institutes like this in China. You don’t have a Lincoln Center or Roosevelt Institute… we know that propaganda is absolutely critical to totalitarian regimes.” Chang urged.

“They want to put forth narratives and restrict what is said about China on American campuses.” Chang asserted, adding that “You’ve got to remember that the Chinese regime is deeply racist with its Han nationalist ideology. This is something we haven’t quite seen since The Third Reich.”

The problem extends beyond the US, with European officials also expressing concerns that China is using the programs to infiltrate and spy on other countries. Some nations have outright banned the Chinese from setting up the institutes at their universities.
