The star maps are works of art in themselves & are among the most elegant treasures bequeathed to us by astronomers of the past
The constellations give us a very real link with the most ancient civilizations
It is a heritage we share whenever we look at the night sky
ARATUS OF SOLI was a Greek poet from Macedonia in the early C3rd B.C. His only surviving work is the Phaenomena, a book describing the constellations and weather signs.

12. Charting the Chinese Sky
"Additional to 255 star groups & predating them were 28 ancient divisions of the ecliptic known as xiu or mansions, listed in the table. These were markers for following the nightly progress of the Moon orbiting the Earth"
"The Chinese sky was divided into five great regions or palaces called gong 宫. These were equated with the directions north, south, east and west and also with a middle region"
A more complete representation of the Chinese sky than the Dunhuang manuscript is provided by this circular chart from Suzhou, formerly known in the west as Soochow
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?

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"
Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.
Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
