It's completely shameful for a special rapporteur at the UN to lend the legitimacy of her role to a website that routinely and almost exclusively presents absurd conspiracy theories and historical revisionism for dozens of places across the world, including Syria and Xinjiang.
Not only is it shameful, but it's completely inappropriate. Imagine a UN official for human trafficking conducting an 'Ask me anything' on 8kun, or a Qanon forum, & you have an idea of how much of an affront this is to genuine victims, or frankly, anyone interested in the truth.
Ruh-roh
the main purveyor of this conspiracy fuelled garbage blog masqurading as a legitimate source for embarassingly large sections of the online left found this tweet and is angry at me for calling out the lies and misinformation that almost exclusive makes up his blog... Image
For all of Max's goons flocking here after he QT'd me:

Can anyone explain this? Israel has already vaccinated nearly 30% of its population, yet infections are still rising at record rates? Infections beyond the US'.
I assume there's a delay between vaccination and protection, but even 14 days ago 15% had been vaccinated. ImageImage
btw this isnt anything anti-vax or like "GOTCHYA DOCTORS" just curious about why we're not seeing an effect or is it stopping an even steeper climb so the effect is hidden or targetted(/racialised) vaccinations and different people getting infected?
A helpful suggestion:
Someone in DMs also mentioned that the mental safety-blanket of a coming vaccine is probably causing people to take more risks and be less mindful in how they might spread the disease.
Both of which make sense.

This whole 'investigation' is hilarious. While they're talking, a satellite image showing ~1,500 detainees being forcibly transfered literally over their shoulder.
They also say that the BBC is wrong because that re-education camp has closed. Hence the transfer we see.
Here's a free tip to whichever propaganist intern is told to make the next debunking video:
Saying 'this particular concentration camp has closed therefore all the reports of concentration camps (that we just confirmed) are wrong' isn't the own that you think it is.
Their last effort to debunk showed drone video filmed 8km away from a prison as a way to disprove it. So at least this time they've put in more effort, even if it is equally unconvincing.

@jsrailton @lehudgins High-res face shots of the group. Photos of outfits to follow, and wider shot.
@jsrailton @lehudgins Full outfits plus full shot.
@jsrailton @lehudgins This bloke might be with them too, hard to tell for sure if he's marching with them or just nearby.

Chinese State Media in a live-stream today shows off a remotely controlled gun for police. They explicitly mention that this platform is meant for lethality, to "shoot the criminals". It's similar to a bomb-defusing robot, with a live weapon (anyone want to ID the gun?) attached.
Here is its control terminal.
It's called the uBOT-OCU, which I guess confirms its relation to bomb-defusing platforms, with a uBOT-EOD developed by (I believe) the Taihong Weishi Security Equipment Company, see: ipsc007.com/product-4-1182…
They also showed off a gun that can shoot around corners, and seemingly (the CGTN translation isnt perfet) can be automatically fired at a specific target by touching a screen where you want the gun to fire. Don't take that feature as confirmed though.

Reporters from the BBC visited a detention facility in Xinjiang's Kuqa that opened in mid-2017. In May 2019, a 35,000m2 factory opened directly adjacent to the camp. Less than a week after it was completed, satellite imagery caught ~1,500 people being moved to the factory.
The line stretches 200m between the camp and the factory, called Kuqa Pomegranite Seed Industry Co (库车石榴籽实业有限公司), and with a rough density analysis you can estimate the crowd at around 1,500 individuals. Moving DIRECTLY from a camp to a factory.
During the week between when the factory was completed and when a mass transfer of detainees was captured by satellite imagery the detention facility itself was significantly desecuritised. Watchtowers were removed, internal fencing was lowered and concrete walls were removed.

It's interesting that 🙈-turned-propagandist Jerry here brings up Tongxin, Ningxia (by showing two sites more than 4km apart, both have been significantly damaged). In this thread I'll show through 16 different mosques in XJ how they've been systematically decimated.
First, I want to highlight one particularly nasty bit of disinformation in Jerry's original tweet. In the first picture (which he says is taken in 2019), he has blocked where the mosque's domes originally were with foliage. In reality they were demolished and removed in Oct 2019.
The minarets were removed between June and October 2020. Beyond the domes and the minarets, all the arabic script that was previously on the mosque in 2014 has been removed and replaced with Chinese writing.
