2. via @ydeigin and @franciscodeasis
it’s a very disturbing paper if its findings are verified: not only SARS2 and RaTG13 have signs of genetic manipulation in yeast but SARS1 too.
WIV is known to have eyed yeast reverse genetic systems with interest (see attached WIV thesis
3. The Author has published quite a few interesting papers with 1870 citations.

7. Dr. Weiss's Magic Yeast

What this means is that instead of having to reconstruct the viral DNA first before introducing it into cells, you instead “put all these fragments in the yeast and it magically puts them together,” says Weiss.
8. TAR, YAC & DNA

transformation associated recombination (TAR)

yeast artificial chromosome (YAC)

“The capacity to recombine things to a YAC by themselves is just amazing,” says Jores.

Pressure is needed on people like @realannapaulina @RepLuna & @GOPoversight team as their mandate may dissolve in August.

They did Kennedy, but they are supposed to do UFO files & CoVid-19 origins before they dissolve.

We also need to know about the subpoenas sent by @RandPaul

🧵Rev. Billy's Lab Leak Cover-Up Sermon

1. Brethren, hear me now, for we stand at the precipice of a great & grievous iniquity!

The world has been ensnared by a monstrous conspiracy, a vile machination spun by a clique of scientists, experts, media scribes & state overlords!
🧵2. Let us never forget!

Those who, in their arrogance, have sought to veil the truth of the COVID pestilence!

And I say to you today, that this is no mere error, but a deliberate, diabolical plot to obscure the origins of a plague that has scourged the nations!
🧵3. The Vocabulary of Deception

Let us expose this falsehood, this house of deceit

& the duties of the vigilant in these perilous times!

Oh, what a wretched lexicon these deceivers employ! Their words are cloaked in the garb of science, yet they reek of falsehood & treachery!

GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

@janeqiuchina

She continued:

"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was." Image
@janeqiuchina About the film:

"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"

"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

web.archive.org/web/2005030616…
The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”
