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

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

"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.

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:

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

Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)

1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:

It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless

The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,

We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.

see Nga et al., 2022 for details

frontiersin.org/journals/publi…Image
3. It is unlikely that anyone will do that now😒

However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.

2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.

"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag" Image
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum

1. Remote truck drone swarm bombings are here to stay!

The techniques will be improved and nowhere will be safe unless underground.

Questions to consider:

How many panel vans, transit vans and small trucks are there in a big city at any one time?
2. This is a revolution in sabotage tactics



Welcome to the future of air bases!

Without concrete and earth roofed revetments, aircraft are sitting ducks.kyivpost.com/post/53749
3. The "good old days"

"clandestine antiaircraft devices using gallium metal pencils which when applied to aircraft results In destruction due to stress failure at the point of application"

🧵1. Another Modest Proposal

This time for the Pangolin’s Noble Sacrifice!

In this enlightened year of our Lord 2025 I, a humble observer of mankind’s ceaseless quest for health, find myself much struck by the ingenious practices of the Orient..
🧵2. A Scaly Panacea

...where the pangolin, that scaly denizen of subtropical climes, hath been elevated to a panacea most wondrous.

The Baicao Chinese Medicine compendium, a veritable gospel of herbal wisdom, doth proclaim the virtues of this creature’s scales...
🧵3. Humanity's Salvation?

...harvested with a diligence that would shame the most ardent of alchemists.

I propose, therefore, a modest scheme to amplify this noble tradition, ensuring that the pangolin’s sacrifice might serve the greater good of humanity.

A Convulsive Horizon of No Escape

Clang! Bar, far, scar, star.

Climate breakdown bites the fields.

The moment that changed me

a boulangerie revelation melting into Vindolanda’s stone relief

But the man in the navy suit and tie,

chokes on known unknowns.

Japanese minister’s rice is free, free, glee, spree,

As Trump’s tariffs tangle with toilet roll wedding lists.

No escape. The hour will no longer be ours.

Clang! Dome, home, foam, roam!
