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)

26. The proof is in the pudding is in the eating

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!

1. Ball, Hung, Drawn and Quartered for Truth

Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.
2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.

🧵Explanation Thread

Here is my attempt at a simple summary of what @JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen claim (July 2026)

1. In early 2020, Chinese scientists published the first big paper on the COVID virus using fluid samples taken from patients’ lungs in Wuhan in December 2019.
2. They uploaded the raw sequencing data to public databases so others could check their work, which is great.



@JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen went back & carefully re-examined that raw data

They say they found several strange things that don’t look right.zenodo.org/records/213119…
@JasperFarlake @dr_louwen 3. You can see their findings in the readme.md text which you can see if you download their zip file and extract it.

or here directly on their @github repository

1. An Indecent Proposal for Protecting our Pensioners

and preventing their Further Decay!

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through our parks or scroll through our family chat groups to behold the wretched condition of our retirees.
2. These once-vigorous souls, now bent over glowing rectangles at all hours, doom scrolling through tales of grandchildren’s exotic holidays, political apocalypses, and filtered neighbours’ perfect kitchens.
3. Their posture collapses, their sleep evaporates, their blood pressure soars, and their remaining years dissolve into envious bitterness.

1. Federal agencies like the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as well as the NIAID were funding a remarkable array of research projects around the world..
2. "through a small cabal of civilian actors that in aggregate constituted a de facto bioweapons development program. In my job as data analyst for University of California, I had access to enough data to strongly suspect the existence of such a program"

3. This was written by Vincent Cook

He has a MA in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked as an analyst for thirty years in the University of California’s Office of the President.

1. August 17, 2021, was the date the CIA's COVID Discovery Team was forced to officially finalize & submit their changed conclusion.

Prior to August 17, 2021, 6 out of 7 members of the team had concluded with "low confidence" that COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.
2. The whistleblower just testified that following pressure & interference from mid-level & senior CIA leadership, the team's lab-leak findings were suppressed.
3. On August 17, 2021, the team was forced to reverse its stance and officially submit a conclusion stating they were unable to determine the origin, which formed the basis of the declassified ODNI report released later that month.
