“a round shot took off his head & spattered the whole battalion with his brain, the colours & ensigns in charge coming in for an extra share. A 2nd shot carried off 6 of the men’s bayonets, a 3rd broke the breastbone of a Lance-Sergeant”
Dead horses had metal shoes ripped off for re-selling before being arranged in vast pyres & set alight. The scene was made even more hellish by the stacks of unburied human bodies that lay around for days afterwards, literally going black in the scorching heat of the June sun
The only thing to do was burn the men just as they did the horses - according to one source
"they have been obliged to burn upwards of a thousand carcasses, an awful holocaust to the War-Demon".
Local scavengers knew used pliers to yank thousands of teeth from the dead bodies of British, French & Prussian soldiers, carefully sorting them according to shape and size to create full sets of teeth.
The flood of dentures that resulted became known as "Waterloo teeth".
‘Oh Sir, only let there be a battle, and there’ll be no want of teeth. I’ll draw them as fast as the men are knocked down.’
Human remains could still be seen at Waterloo a year later. A company was contracted to collect the visible bones & grind them up for fertilizer. Other Napoleonic battlefields were also reportedly scoured for this purpose. In 1822 a British paper reported:
the Last Boot
"A man of the transport corps, thinking me dead, had stripped me and wishing to pull off the only boot that remained, was dragging me by one leg with his foot against my body. I succeeded in sitting up and spitting out the clots of blood from my throat"
Letter from Waterloo
On 21 June 1815, three days after the Battle of Waterloo, Private James Wilson of the 1st Life Guards wrote a letter to his friend, Corporal Hemsleyin, which he described his part in the battle.

@breakfast_dogs @gadboit @NLink247 1. Insect cell baculovirus cell cultures become contaminated with insect genomic material. 2. Replication process can lead to presence of viral DNA & cellular components in culture medium. 3. This LEADS to contamination of viral product with baculovirus & insect cell-derived DNA.

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!
"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."
@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"
