21. Russian Point of View

22. A summary of the issues:

1. Crimea's referendum to leave Ukraine: how did we get here?

theguardian.com/world/2014/mar…

2. Crimea referendum: early results indicate 'landslide' for secession – as it happened

theguardian.com/world/2014/mar…
23. Since the disputed Crimean referendum, the Maidan Uprising in 2013 & the 2014 elections, US, CIA, UK and NATO decided to support Ukraine with military training & weapons, as discussed in another thread:



About 7 Tweets discussing mainly US training
24. Since 2014, The US has provided Ukraine with 1.6 billion $ worth of military aid. More will come.

See 12 Tweets here:

25. In Ukraine, the US Trains an Army in the West to Fight in the East (October 2017)

"For more than two years, some 300 American soldiers have been quietly helping train an enormous partner military in western Ukraine"

defenseone.com/threats/2017/1…
26. The proof is in the pudding is in the eating

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced today that the NSDC suspended all activities of 11 pro-Russian political parties while martial law is in place.

27. Mariupol?

Mariupol remains a Russian-speaking city

1% report regularly speaking Ukrainian at home

Lately, Western Media have reported on the plight of refugees from Mariupol being "forcibly sent to Russia"

reuters.com/world/europe/u…
28. Don't be surprised to see evidence of Mariupol Residents blaming the Ukrainian Government & in particular the Azov Battalion for their plight

Videos (of course from pro-Russian Accounts ;)





29. Compilation Thread of Interviews with Transcripts



Again a pro-Russian source so...who knows?
30. These reactions would be consistent with the views of Mariupol residents stated previously

Primary blame attribution for the Donbas war by people in Mariupol (percentages)

voxukraine.org/en/the-elephan…

Most blamed the Post-Maiden Ukrainian Government & the USA, not the Russians
31. Conclusions?

I leave that to your judgement based on the maps, statistics and data presented.
32. Funniest Reaction so far from @daniel_corcos

33. Don't be shooting the messenger now!

GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"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." Image
@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" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

web.archive.org/web/2005030616…
The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”

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?
DRASTIC MEASURES NEEDED

Finally #scamdemia is waking up to the putrid stench of education for profit, ruined lives and academic credential inflation?

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 nowπŸ˜’

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
