In 2016, Harvard hosted a secretive meeting to organize a controversial project: synthesizing an entire human genome in the lab. A month later, the project was publicly announced, and who was doing the key research? Lab-origin superstar Alina Chan. statnews.com/2016/06/02/syn… Image
This project received widespread criticism, both for the secrecy of the meeting and the lack of attention to ethics. It was criticized in WaPo and the NY Times. Biologist Drew Endy refused to participate. Genetic Literacy Project has a good roundup 👇 geneticliteracyproject.org/2016/05/16/har…
The meeting was organized by Harvard biologist George Church, who helped developed genome sequencing and co-created the gene editing technique CRISPR. For years, he also enjoyed numerous meetings and phone calls with eugenics aficionado Jeffrey Epstein. statnews.com/2019/08/05/cit… Image
Epstein, of course, is notorious for his interests in transhumanism, AI, and "improving the human population through...genetic engineering." He wanted to make heritable changes to human embryos and to seed the human race with his own DNA. web.archive.org/web/2019073119… Image
Church is himself an arch-transhumanist with a whole list of genes he wants to edit. Below, a writer for the Epstein-backed Humanity+ describes a talk by Church at a DARPA meeting in which he lauds eugenics (improving intelligence via genetic selection). hplusmagazine.com/2015/02/15/bio… ImageImage

Not sure if I said this explicitly above, but it's worth underlining that Alina Chan presented at the Church-organized Harvard meeting on synthetic human genomes, presenting her work on building artificial human chromosomes. statnews.com/2016/06/02/syn… Image
One company that also made a presentation at the Harvard meeting was Twist Bioscience. Twist, interestingly, is one of the few cos. that provides made-to-order DNA which is essential for viral cloning, like that done by Ralph Baric's lab. technologyreview.com/2020/02/15/844…
I say "interestingly" because one of the (IMO) disturbing features of Chan's Covid-origin research has been her willingness to cozy up to Ralph Baric, even going so far as to co-author a letter with him this month. science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…
Baric, as anyone who's been following the origin saga should understand, is one of the prime suspects in any lab-origin hypothesis. He's also a major practitioner of dangerous gain-of-function work. I've seen nothing but praise & defense of Baric from Chan twitter.com/search?q=from%…
By Chan's own account, she was interested in human artificial chromosomes for "genome writing" and "mammalian cell engineering" and wanted to create synthetic DNA and "deliver them into human cells."
Alina Chan developed a method for fusing yeast to human cells to create "Frankenstein cells." With this technique, she successfully inserted ebola into human cells in order to make human cells produce the infectious virus(!).
Here's a semi-transcript of Chan's talk. Her research was conducted for GP-write, George Church's synthetic genome project (originally called "Human Genome Project-write" until they apparently realized the name was too creepy). diyhpl.us/wiki/transcrip…
Direct connection between Twist Bioscience, which participated in the Church-organized synthetic genome project meeting, to Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein. h/t @SpaceDaaddyy
Alina Chan noting that the Pentagon funds her research into human artificial chromosomes (HACs) 👇
Some background on DARPA's interest in HACs (or at least what they state publicly) 👇
Chan's employer, the Broad Institute, has received $32 million from DARPA to ramp up its synthetic biology and DNA engineering efforts. broadinstitute.org/news/darpa-awa…
The Broad Institute was co-founded by Eric Lander, who met with Epstein at least once. Lander denies taking $ from Epstein, yet Epstein's site bragged about funding Lander's work. Lander was just confirmed as Biden's cabinet-level science adviser. unlimitedhangout.com/2021/02/report… Image

The talking point from lab-leak proponents is that DARPA rejected EcoHealth's DEFUSE proposal because it was too risky. (If you read the letter closely, it's not clear this is true.) However, in a March 2, 2018 meeting, DARPA reviewer Jim Gimlett did not raise any risk concerns. Image
Gimlett did, however, note that DARPA was not able to fund all proposals and may partially fund proposals or fund later stages of proposals. This gibes with the letter written (though not signed) by Gimlett which noted "several components" of DEFUSE were "potentially fundable."
Image
Image
Gimlett also noted in his 3/2/18 meeting with Daszak that one of the primary issues with DEFUSE was validation. Lack of validation was one of the reasons cited for rejecting DEFUSE. Image

Last month, @emilyakopp of @USRightToKnow published an article about the infamous DEFUSE proposal based on documents obtained from USGS, a DEFUSE partner. However, USRTK uploaded only a portion of those records.

I have obtained the full FOIA cache: archive.org/details/2021-0…
@emilyakopp @USRightToKnow Scientist and natural-origin proponent @flodebarre also appears to have obtained the same cache of documents. She too has refused to publish the full batch, instead plucking out small excerpts in support of this thread:
@emilyakopp @USRightToKnow @flodebarre (If you can't see the quoted tweet above, that's because Flo blocked me months ago.)

I do not in any way agree with GoFundMe taking down the Grayzone's fundraiser, but, since I've yet to see anyone else mention it, I do think it's worth putting on the record that Max Blumenthal has reportedly agitated for such takedowns in the past. observer.com/2016/01/its-on…
Image
The Observer article reports that Max "pressured" GoFundMe to remove a fundraiser by (virulently pro-Israel pseudo-rabbi) Shmuley Boteach to buy a NYT ad tying then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to Max via his dad, long-time Clinton consigliere Sidney Blumenthal. Image
However, the Observer's only apparent source is Boteach himself who merely said he "believes" Max contacted GoFundMe directly, just as he had written to Huffington Post editor Ryan Grim to decry an op-ed attacking him written by Boteach. Image

Two months after dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US military began drafting a secret plan to nuke 20 Soviet Cities in a "prevenative" surprise attack without provocation or warning. https://t.co/0glssyr2Jparchive.org/details/isbn_0…
Image
This plan, known as JIC 329 (or "Strategic Vulnerability of the USSR to a Limited Air Attack") acknowledged that the Soviets posed no immediate threat to the US. Decimated by WWII and lacking a navy, the USSR was in a dire position relative to the largely unscathed US military.
Image
Image
Knowing this, JIC 329 recommended a surprise barrage of nuclear strikes if it appeared that the Soviets "would eventually gain the capability of either attacking the US or rebuffing a US attack." (Kaku/Axelrod) Image

The new Senate Covid-origin report, primarily authored by biodefense ghoul Robert Kadlec, badly misrepresents the data on early circulation.
Kadlec, citing only to the WHO's meta-analysis of studies on early circulation excludes an Italian study included in the WHO report, which found 111/959 pre-pandemic blood samples positive for antibodies dating back to Sept. 2019. cdn.who.int/media/docs/def… ImageImage
This study had been the subject of some controversy, and the WHO report includes a footnote that the samples would be retested to confirm results. That follow-up study was published in Dec. 2021 and corroborated positive results dating back to Oct. 2019. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35062265/ ImageImage

Someone who wishes to remain anonymous has provided me with a solid English translation of this letter, purportedly written by a former employee of the US-Thai military bio-lab AFRIMS. Please note that the authenticity of the letter cannot be verified. archive.org/details/afrims…
The letter opens with the author's purported background -- an idealistic AFRIMS worker grown jaded by the leadership's indifference to biosafety issues at the lab. The author claims that the onset of the Covid pandemic spurred them to speak out. Image
The letter alleges that the US enrolled children from Thailand and neighboring countries in a vaccine trial and collected blood samples from them, which were used in "virus experiments" without their consent and without Thai knowledge of the purpose of the experiment. Image
