In an exclusive interview for RAIR Foundation USA, former Canadian Forces soldier James Formosa revealed how he believes the military is issuing vaccine exemptions according to rank rather than on a case-by-case basis according to merit. Formosa, a captain in the 3 rd Canadian Division, a regiment posted in Western Canada, served from April 2017 to July 2022, when he was formally discharged due to his decision to apply for a religious exemption from the vaccine mandate, which was denied. Due to his refusal to comply with the mandate, which came into force in October 2021 and was officially put on hold in June 2022, Formosa received an honorable discharge from his military career and has appealed his dismissal. Under new rules, it will no longer be compulsory for military personnel to declare vaccine status.
However, on his way out, Formosa discovered some startling statistics that again indicate one set of rules for the little people – you and me and the lower ranks of the military – and another for those in charge. Justin Trudeau is a good example, perhaps, with his recent maskless flight to Costa Rica for a holiday, while travelers aboard planes leaving and arriving in Canada must wear a mask.
Using the army intranet, accessible to anyone with a military email address, Formosa tracked exemption requests according to rank and geography. He discovered that there was a 14.6 percent approval rate among military captains. For majors, the rate climbed to 55 percent, and for Lieutenant-Colonels, it was 100 percent. Rank has its privileges. But it also seems that geography plays a part too.
He discovered that certain postings, such as those to the Policy Branch and 1 st Division Air HQ in Ottawa, meant that exemption requests were 3,000 to 5,000 percent more likely to be approved. […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
