1. Some Bloody Bastards in Power in Hong Kong

"Secretary for Security", Chris Tang:

“By smuggling these things (hair clips, chocolate) inside to recruit followers & build influence, they create hatred towards the government & endanger national security"

hongkongfp.com/2021/09/08/chi…
2. “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so" - Proudhon
3. Another Thieving Bastard is Steve Li

Senior Superintendent of the Police National Security Department

"During the newsroom raid, officers "found" computers, mobile phones and HK$500,000 in cash"

hongkongfp.com/2021/12/29/bre…
4. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished.
5. HK Government Erasing Collective Memory by:

1. Banning Vigils

2. Censoring Textbooks

3. Stealing and Destroying Statues

6. Hong Kong's Sham Elections

"These sham elections are a farce. The CCP decided an easy way of winning the election is to lock up the entire opposition & rig the rules. This is not a democratic vote, it is a propaganda exercise which has no legitimacy"

7. 50 opposition groups in one year - Gone.

hongkongfp.com/2021/11/28/exp…
8. What is Government?

"It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed"
9. Proof of the Pudding

a list of protestors and pro-democracy activists arrested, prosecuted or imprisoned by the Hong Kong government (last updated: 16 December 2021)

10. More HK Court Cases in 2022

More Political Prisoners to be locked up in:

Stanley Prison
Lo Wu Correctional Institution
Lai King Correctional Institution
Tai Lam Women's Correctional Institution

hongkongwatch.org/key-court-dates
11. What is Government?

At the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned..That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
12. What remains?

Life in jail for anyone who violates China's new Hong Kong security law?

13. Dissidents, Welcome to HK Prisons!

1. The Second Lab Leak

Turning and turning in the petri dish,
The scientists cannot hear the warnings;
Genes recombine; the barriers cannot hold,
Evil virology is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
2. The Second Lab Leak

The best lack critical thinking, while the professors
Are full of furious bias.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the cover up is now banned?
Lab Leak! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Human Folly
Troubles my sight:
3. Somewhere in Wuhan

somewhere in the cell lines of a Chinese laboratory
A shape with pangolin body and the head of a bat,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its long tongue, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant molested bats.

🧵As promised, here is my counter critique & rebuttal of some points made by @gadboit about the Pangolin Papers Hypothesis.

His theory seems to be that SARS-COV-2 emerged like Aphrodite, from BANAL BAT viruses, possibly with some FCS tweaking & no Pangolins coronaviruses needed.
🧵1. Introduction

@gadboit claims BANAL-52’s 96.8% similarity and natural recombination outweigh my lab + PangolinCoV hypothesis for SARS-CoV-2’s origin.

However, my evidence shows PangolinCoV signatures, WIV lab work & recombination are stronger.

researchgate.net/publication/39…
@gadboit 🧵2. @gadboit claims BANAL-52’s 96.8% similarity & ACE2 binding make it closer to SARS-CoV-2 than PCoVs (~91%) & that PCoV features could come from bat CoVs.

But GD PCoV’s RBD (97% identity) needs no mutations for hACE2, unlike BANALs.

🧵 As promised, my final report is now published 🍾

1. Obviously this is not a tik tok video, although it would be great to make a tik tok version 🙂

So, you will need a few hours to read and digest the implications as the science is complex.

Links to the report in next tweet.

3, Well, it is a Pangolin Sunday, eh?

A. “The Pangolin Papers” presents a robust argument for the lab-mediated origin of SARS-CoV-2, particularly centered on experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) during 2018 and 2019.

1. A Modest Proposal for the Fair Imprisonment of Women and the Liberation of Men

2. Dire Injustice!

It is a lamentable truth, oft repeated in the progressive broadsheets and the sanctimonious halls of modern discourse, that the state of our prisons reveals a dire injustice.
3. Gaol'd Wretches

We are told, with furrowed brows and trembling voices, that Black men, comprising a mere 4% of the good people of England and Wales, yet numbering 13% of our gaol’d wretches, suffer under the cruel yoke of systemic discrimination.

In the bad old days they injected them with yellow fever & other nasties for dispersal by planes.
