#THREAD: 1/ The #Pentagon gave $39 MILLION to Dr. Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance - the charity that funded coronavirus research at #China's Wuhan lab accused of being the source of the outbreak, federal data reveals.

Long Special Report👍
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
2/ The majority of the DoD funding came from the DTRA, a military branch with a mission to 'counter & deter weapons of mass destruction & improvised threat networks.'

Federal grant data shows that the charity has received more than $123 million from the government in total.
3/ The news comes as the charity's chief, British-born scientist Dr. Peter Daszak, was exposed in an alleged conflict of interest and back-room campaign to discredit lab leak theories.
4/ The charity, EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), has come under intense scrutiny after it emerged that it had been using federal grants to fund research into coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
5/ The U.S. nonprofit, set up to research new diseases, has also partly funded deeply controversial 'gain of function' experiments, where dangerous viruses are made more infectious to study their effect on human cells.
6/ In February 2020 Daszak persuaded over 2 dozen scientists to sign off on a letter he wrote to The Lancet journal, that was seen as so influential that it cowed most experts into refusing to consider that the virus could have been man-made & leaked from the Wuhan institute.
7/ The joint letter, published in the journal on February last year, praised the Chinese 'who continue to save lives & protect global health during the Covid outbreak & we stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories saying that Covid-19 doesn't have a natural origin.'

#China's Young People 'Know Little' of 1989 #TiananmenMassacre

The #Chinese Communist Party has successfully silenced any public discussion of the protest movement & the bloody crackdown

2/ As the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) clamps down on dissidents ahead of Friday's anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre, younger people living in mainland China are largely unaware of the momentous events of the spring of 1989.
3/ Public memorials for the victims are banned, and any references to the People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s bloody suppression of the student-led protest movement are quickly deleted from the country's tightly controlled internet.

Thread: #TiananmenSquaremassacre Victim: The #CCP Hasn’t Changed

”Why was there an order to start killing?” Fang Zheng asked.

"The only thing that has changed today is the methods the #CCP uses to control people"

2/ ”Why was there an order to start killing?” Fang Zheng asked. His simple query, among many other questions, has been unanswered for 3 decades. But Zheng—a victim turned activist whose legs were run over by a tank during the Tiananmen Massacre, is still fighting for the truth.
3/ The bloodbath, carried out by orders from the Communist Party (CCP), took the lives of throngs of Chinese students protesting for democratic reform on June 4, 1989. The regime continued to deny any involvement, & online searches of the incident are censored inside China.

A fear of #China encroaching on territory pushes a number of countries to improve ties with the #US

#Philippines & #Malaysia are now edging closer to the US.

2/ Throughout the past decade, Vietnam has been the only Southeast Asian nation that has consistently welcomed warmed ties with the West to counterbalance China. But other regional claimant states could soon do the same.
3/ After months of tough negotiations, Manila is set to retain the crucial Philippine-US Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), which is essential to sustained and large-scale American military deployments to Southeast Asia.
