THREAD:

Ok. Very weird thing just happened.

And y'all are going to want to hear this.

I have an app called News Break on my iPad.

Throughout the day, I typically get these kinds of notifications.

Well, not 5 minutes ago, I got a notification that was nothing more than the title of an article:

"Sociodemographic characteristics of missing data in digital phenotyping"

Not their typical zippy clickbait.

Wish I'd have taken a screenshot of it.

I clicked on it.

Of course.

And it took me directly to this article (l. photo) on nature.com.

Normally, it takes me to their site, then links me to a full article (r.), so clearly this was sent out in error.

Also, it's never ever a scientific report.

Ever.

So I started reading.

Of course.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???

Now, full disclosure, I just started reading this, but from what I have gathered so far, it is all about how to use an open source research platform called Beiwe to collect even more of our information while tracking us—in the name of PUBLIC HEALTH.

Now, I know they've BEEN doing that, but this is expanded.

And what is Beiwe?

Well, I'm digging into that now.

For one, it's a sun deity.

Awesome.

And in 2013, it apparently received the...

(I can't make this shit up, folks)

NIH Director's New Innovator Award.

So, I'm going to jump feet first down this rabbit hole now.

Of course.

I'll keep y'all posted on this thread, so bookmark it if you're curious.

Here's the link to that article:

nature.com/articles/s4159…

Time to brew some coffee...

Not gonna lie...

I'm a little freaked out because, while it's not News Breaks normal article, it is EXACTLY the kind of shit I try to dig up every damn day.

Also, my edibles just kicked in...

No, seriously...

Did anyone else with this app see this notification?

Anyone?

Ok...

I think I really do need to pause here and take a closer look at Beiwe...

*imfuckinghorrified*

Keep in mind, Im basically tweeting out loud as I go through this, but...

*grabs tinfoil*

Can't help but wonder if it's related...

I would think it would be right up Beiwe's alley, but again, this is just speculation.

Just to be clear:

This was first funded by the NIH years ago.

Like switch-gain-of-function-research-to-Wuhan-years ago...

We really are just lab rats to them.

Please don't tell me "but they are talking about people who signed up for the study."

We are in a "public health emergency."

This information will be deemed necessary.

If you do get jabbed or tested, read the fine print on anything you sign.

You are probably giving them permission to spy on you, and you don't even realize it.

Isn't that right, Alexa?

So, the Beiwe Service Center is at the Onnela Lab at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health...

The same T.H. Chan School of Public Health that is partnered with China.

Because, of *course* it is.

And now a blast from the past.

I wrote this thread back in 2017/2018, when the Dems first started mumbling about "what if Trump contests the election."

In it, I explain the power of data collection...

twunroll.com/article/112581…

Ok, now we're getting to the crux of it.

This is from Beiwe's website.

Science!

Basically, they are talking psychometrics.

And psychometrics are fundamental to the "alternative data" being used to develop a social credit score.

sociable.co/government-and…

Not saying Beiwe has anything to do with that or with vaccine passports, but...

My takeaway from this unexpected rabbit hole (so weird!) is that this stuff is being developed.

This is what they have planned for us, and many are working hard to help make it possible.

And most of us aren't even aware that it's a thing.

/end (for now)

Sorry...

I keep chopping my threads. 😖
