Washington Redskins To Change Name, Consider New Moniker Honoring Military and Native Americans

After years of debate between Native American tribes, executives, and sports fans, the Washington Redskins have officially announced its controversial name and logo will be retired and a new set of designs for the football team are in the works — the aim is to honor the United States military and Native Americans.

“Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review,” according to the press release.

The Navajo Nation said the old logo was “racist” and “disparaging” and they welcomed the change.

“For generations, this team name and logo has misrepresented the true history and events that define the term ‘redskins,” the Navajo Nation said.

While giving no details of the new name, Redskins Head Coach Ron Rivera said in a July 4 interview that he is hoping to honor the United States military in the new name, while being respectful to Native Americans.

Rivera is the son of a veteran and grew up traveling to different military bases around the world.

Some proposed names on Twitter and other sites are the Washington Warriors, the Washington Code Talkers, and the Washington Red Tails.

The Code Talkers proposal is from the Navajo Nation and honors Navajo bilingual speakers who served in World War Two in the Pacific theatre. Their ability to serve as communication assets for the US helped ensure a victory against Japan.

The Red Tails proposal honors the Tuskegee Airmen from World War Two — the first African American and Caribbean military aviators in the US military. The planes of the airmen had red tails, giving them the nickname.

Online betting and reports show Red Tails as the leading contender to replace the now-former controversial Native American name.

The announcement is expected in the coming days.

Air Force Veteran: Decades-Long Secret U.S. Military Programs Retrieves Crafts of “Non-Human Origin”

David Charles Grusch, a decorated former combat officer and Air Force veteran, claims that secret U.S. military programs have been retrieving vehicles of “non-human origin” for several decades. Grusch’s explosive interview first aired on News Nation. The Air Force whistleblower has served in various intelligence roles, including as a representative to Congress’ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and as co-lead of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) analysis at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Grusch has filed a whistleblower complaint with Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General, presenting classified information that allegedly proves the recovery of partial fragments and intact vehicles of exotic origin. He asserts that these recoveries have been ongoing and involve the U.S. government, its allies, and defense contractors. The vehicles’ morphologies, material science testing, and possession of “unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures” Grusch said are cited as evidence of their non-human intelligence, according to reports from Fox News. 

In an interview on News Nation, Grusch reveals that senior and former intelligence officers confided in him, sharing information and proof of their involvement in a secret craft retrieval program.

This program was allegedly kept separate from the UAP Task Force, which Grusch claims was not fully briefed on these activities. The recovered vehicles, described as non-human origin technical vehicles or spacecraft, are said to have either landed or crashed, sometimes resulting in the recovery of deceased occupants.

“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch stated.

“Well, naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed. Sometimes you encounter dead pilots and believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true.” He emphatically stated the the human race is, “definitely not alone.”

Grusch alleges that UFO “legacy programs” have long been concealed within multiple agencies, operating within conventional secret access programs without proper reporting to oversight authorities.

He contends that a “publicly unknown Cold War” has been ongoing for decades, involving the recovery and exploitation of UAP crashes/landings by the U.S. and near-peer adversaries. He said, their is a “publicly unknown Cold War for recovered and exploited physical material – a competition with near-peer adversaries over the years to identify UAP crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering to garner asymmetric national defense advantages.”

Grusch expresses concerns about a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the public and highlights the ethical and moral issues associated with it. Durimng his interview with News Nation he stated, “There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace which is extremely unethical and immoral,”

Since 2022, Grusch has been providing recorded classified information to Congress, including details about the materials-recovery program. While specific data remains classified, current members of the recovery program have reportedly spoken to the Inspector General’s office, corroborating the information in Grusch’s complaint.

Retired Army Colonel Karl Nell, who worked with Grusch on the UAP Task Force, supports the claim of a terrestrial arms race and acknowledges the existence of technologies of unknown origin derived from non-human intelligence.

Grusch’s allegations of secret U.S. military programs retrieving vehicles of non-human origin have sparked significant interest and raised questions about the extent of government involvement in UAP-related activities.

As investigations continue, the disclosure of classified information and the corroboration by individuals within the recovery program add weight to Grusch’s claims, signaling the need for further scrutiny and transparency in understanding these extraordinary phenomena.
