1/. Today marks 3 years since the govt INSTRUCTED hospitals to send people “who may have #COVID19” to care homes WITHOUT TESTING
The govt KNEW about asymptomatic transmission in Jan/Feb 2020
Tens of thousands died

3/. The evidence of a parallel UK/US #COVID19 strategy was striking, but it was circumstantial
👉an unscientific herd immunity strategy
👉soaring death rates
👉ignoring WHO warnings
👉delayed lockdown
👉lack of PPE etc
Then details of parallel contracts with Palantir came out👇

I probably deserved it once, I'll give them one. But, seriously...
No liberal has ever censored a view. Ever. We judge folks for their views, and conservatives take THAT as a personal attack.

So much for deescalation. #UkraineRussiaWar
Biden visits Ukraine and Russia responds with this….
The likelihood of internal NATO tension around strategy here is increasing. And the Seymour Hersh revelations r.e. Nordstream sabotage are still lingering in the wings.

The likelihood of internal NATO tension around strategy here is increasing. And the Seymour Hersh revelations r.e. Nordstream sabotage are still lingering in the wings.
Three way talks between the EU, Russia and the US are needed to restore a possibility & a semblance of substance to notions this war will not just keep escalating.
This commentary is from January 7th during the lead up to the Leopard Tanks discussion which eventually led to a « compromise » that the US would provide Abrams Heavy Tanks - not withstanding the logistical obstacles.

Cambridge Analytica Uncovered: Secret filming reveals election tricks

😮 “M'Barki ran reports on a variety of subjects - luxury yachts in Monaco, a Sudanese opposition leader, allegations of corruption in Qatar - that had all one thing in common: they were planted by an Israel-based outfit specialising in 'news for hire'.” bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"The second report, broadcast in mid-December, was about a leafleting campaign in #Paris accusing a former state prosecutor in #Qatar of corruption.” This is an important illustration of how the #influenceindustry works to coordinate across legacy/online media….
“When originally shown in the early hours of the morning, the reports would have gone almost unobserved.
But that changed when they were picked up by #SocialMedia and #TeamJorge's massed avatars. Suddenly they were viral."

Chilling new reporting on reputation laundering and #eliminalia from @OCCRP
“The legitimate uses for this kind of reputation management are few compared to the advantages for corrupt individuals,” Emma Briant, a research fellow at Bard College who studies information warfare, told Forbidden Stories.
READ @derspiegel "Emma Briant, one of the world's leading experts in information wars & #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, argues the public focus continues to be on Facebook, Twitter and similar media companies. But not on the real problem, on the huge industry that exists in secret."

💥💥My latest: How British Intelligence Sabotaged Cambridge Analytica Scandal💥💥

There is one aspect of the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal that has never before been revealed - a concerted black propaganda campaign run by elements of British intelligence to frame the company as compromised by Russia. Now, it must be.
#IntegrityInitiative, a secret Foreign Office unit run by military and intelligence operatives, took the lead in this fraud. They fed journalists, including @carolecadwalla, material implicating Cambridge Analytica - and Arron Banks - as in bed with the Kremlin.
In scenes reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol attack in the US, supporters of the defeated President #Bolsonaro, have marched on #Brazil’s Presidential Palace & Congress building, invading the floor of the Federal Senate & the Supreme Court👇#BREAKING
Remember how #CambridgeAnalytica & #Facebook helped elect an unqualified conman wannabe autocrat? The data mining, micro targeting? PP’s team is using the same types of techniques. With the aid of multiple front groups. m.facebook.com/plugins/video.… #cdnpoli #NevrePolievre

"No estamos huyendo de la discusión política", dice Becassino, mentira: huyen. Su campaña es otra: hacen video de @ingrodolfohdez diciendo "sí", otro diciendo "no", y luego, a partir envíos por Facebook y WhatsApp a votantes geoposicionados, envían lo que la persona quieren oír🧵
Puro #cambridgeanalytica: las bodeguitas bombardean a varios tipos de votantes con videos altamente personalizados de @ingrodolfohdez
acorde a la información que tienen de cada posible sufragante: al del "NO" se le manda el video del "NO" y al del "SÍ" Rodolfo diga "sí": "sí".

The Labour Party are still refusing - nearly eight months on - to answer Subject Access Requests from party members about what information was lost during a massive data breach back in October last year. 🧵
@allthecitizens / @TheEyeballsEN / @BylineTimes
Following news of a data breach affecting the Labour party, in which a ‘significant quantity of party data’ was rendered ‘inaccessible’, @allthecitizens can confirm that members still haven’t had their requests for information answered by the party.
In a press release following the attack, Labour announced that the data affected included ‘information provided to the Party by its members, registered and affiliated supporters, and other individuals who have provided their information’

For me, my investigation began by chance on 8/3/20 when I stumbled on @BorisJohnson’s interview with @Schofe & @hollywills where he said “one theory is we could #TakeItOnTheChin”
I clipped it & it went viral
Ironically, this was also the same day as first Briton died of #COVID

As #COVID19 hit, every epidemiologist/virologist made clear #HerdImmunity without a vaccine was an “outcome” not a “strategy”
Every behaviourist made clear “behavioural fatigue” was unscientific
Every expert knew about asymptomatic spread in Feb 2020
Then the penny dropped

So some interesting things have surfaced in the last few weeks that I want to share. Be patient with me, I’m slow & get interrupted a lot. But, I think it’s worth it to share this information before the mid-term elections.

This article from 04/06/2022 has been weighing on my mind…it’s regarding the #RockbridgeNetwork, defined as a coalition.
What is a “political coalition” in the US?
Not much. It’s basically a verbal, non-regulated agreement to finance an agreed upon political agenda.

While #RockbridgeNetwork is being considered a “new GOP coalition”, it isn’t, think #CambridgeAnalytica. Plus, it is not the only “new GOP coalition” popping up before mid-term elections. #ChestnutStreetCouncil has been started by Matt Schlapp, think #KochNetwork…
