"Bats for Peace"? Funded by DTRA...

You can grab some csvs here, but all empty (as usual)

wabnet.eha.io
Background (Tweets 1 to 5 in this thread)

Seems like the csv files from relational database to collate & share project data:
wabnet.eha.io
have been emptied of data & just left with headings (or never completed which is unlikely):

1. Barcoding
2. Bat Data (note Coronavirus Columns)
3. Screening
4. Site Data
All empty of Data....

5. Trapping Events
6. Site Photographs
7. Site Videos
8. Acoustic Recordings
But Data was collected...

So, can someone ask Kevin J Olival @nycbat @EpsteinJon @klphelps Nisreen Alhmoud, Shahzad Ali, Rasit Bilgin, Keti Sidamonidze, Lela Urushadze, Luke Hamel @lukemh97 or William Karesh @Dr_Wildlife (EHA) for the data?
What Data?

270 bats in 2 countries
5,000 Bats (2018 -2023)
20,000 Samples screened for Coronaviruses
(at Lugar Lab in Georgia)
I would love to be able to ask, but they don't like inquisitive Monkeys at Eco Death Alliance ;)

Project G-2101: Pentagon biolab discovered MERS and SARS-like coronaviruses in bats

dilyana.bg/project-g-2101…
"30 % of the bat samples tested positive for coronaviruses, some of which closely related to the epidemic MERS and SARS CoV"

via @Butterfly7118
Dissertation of ISTC project manager & Lugar Center virologist Lela Urushadze on the coronavirus studies is still online (in Georgian)

eprints.iliauni.edu.ge/8640/1/%E1%83%…

Back in Nov 2021, I asked if anyone could translate it



Someone can do this or do I have to?
We certainly know that some Lugar Centre collected Georgian coronavirus infected bat samples were "shipped" to Atlanta CDC BSL4 for experiments, and how they were shipped:

We also know that 7 of the 12 Georgian scientists who participated in the G-2101 project turned out to be former biological weapons scientists.

Among them is Paata Imnadze, director of the Lugar Center.

h/t @RonnyMyer and @dgaytandzhieva

Here's one of them
5,000 USD for Bats?

US Taxpayer money poured in via DTRA, in one incident leading to the arrest of a cross-border bat smuggler

"Mgebrishvili intended to get the so-called. "Bat cocoons", for subsequent sale in Georgia at a price of USD 5,000 per piece"

cominf.org/en/node/116653…
Documents here in Russian, mainly on Ukrainian "biolabs" & some references to Georgia, which is for me, a more interesting focus, given the bat cov research & proven transport of samples to US

The link is censored by Twitter so find it yourself using the text or image.

This thread is about Georgia, not about the so-called "ukrainian biolabs", a campaign likely being used opportunistically during the fog of war, as discussed in detail here:

A 2021/2022 Paper revealing Lugar Centre and Atlanta CDC BSL4 connections and discovery of betacoronaviruses

A Cross Sectional Sampling Reveals Novel Coronaviruses in Bat Populations of Georgia

Well, that's it for today, hope someone will translate the dissertation at some point, and now for some completely unrelated news....

unroll the lack of transparency on the Georgian bat coronaviruses DTRA funded experiments @threadreaderapp
Interrogation of the Bat Smuggler

just put the Georgian dissertation through google translate as it is under 5 MB and it did an ok job conserving all images.

note references to ATLANTA CDC and DTRA

🧵 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.

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.

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.

1. Latest Victim of Flo Debarre's "Doxxng" Crusade

Is ME!

I got a disturbing & threatening email, mentioning:

"room for negotiation about the name"

"1st story is often the one that sticks, even if it's not accurate..your chance to negotiate terms"

"continue over Signal" Image
2. Le Monde

The reporter she is working with, William Audureau @Willvs , seems a principled journalist and did not know of her nefarious doxxing activities against me and other members of DRASTIC and our supporters in Academia, of which he dissaproves. Image
@Willvs 3. Best way to deal with bullies is to expose them!

I thus emailed CNRS, Cyber Security Office & the Minister of the Interior to complain

An unexpected result in a UK Porton Down Study

"Participant 12" (maybe a soldier at Aldershot). after infection with SC2, over time experienced a substantial number of mutations suggestive of rapid evolution.

Yet he was healthy & not immunocompetent?
