22. A summary of the issues:

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

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"

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.
33. Don't be shooting the messenger now!

Critical Examination of 3 Related Studies on SARS-CoV-2 Origins


My latest paper, a pleasantly vicious critique, reveals exactly how the zoonati clique try to bamboozle gullible journalists and scientists to drive their biased narrative of natural originresearchgate.net/publication/40…
2. This core interpretive move by the authors, from failure to detect a shift in selection pressure to claiming strong evidence of β€œno adaptation being required”, exemplifies the pernicious absence of evidence-based reasoning so characteristic of their tedious papers.
3. Yet, a small cluster of publications from a recurring group of agenda driven authors continues to exert disproportionate and malign influence on the debate over the origins of SARS-COV-2.

1. A truly stunning example of what is called an "ad hoc hypothesis", i.e. a secondary hypothesis added to a theory specifically to save it from being falsified when evidence for its original version is missing or contradictory.

(in this case, the long lost intermediate host)
2. They used a modeling framework called RELAX to claim that viruses like SARSCoV2 may already have the ability to infect humans whilst in their natural reservoir, meaning an intermediate host or long-term adaptation wouldn't leave the evolutionary footprints previously expected.
3. A classic post hoc justification for the absence of physical evidence by grant stuffed criminals, in short:

I couldn't find the evidence I said was required, so I've invented a theory that explains why the evidence I failed to find was never actually needed in the first place

✴️MICROPLASTICS IN YOUR BRAIN?

1. "These tiny fragments were far smaller than cells and even smaller than many viruses. Some were close to the size of DNA strands. Under high magnification, she noticed small hooked shapes with sharp points.
✴️2. OVERLOOKED

"She realized that the plastic in human brains was not only present, but surprisingly small. The fragments were so tiny that common diagnostic tools could not detect them. Pathologists had likely been overlooking them for years."

msn.com/en-us/health/o…
✴️3. NONE WERE FREE

"The two original samples showed a strong link between plastic particles and dementia. As Bearer expanded her work to ten more donated brains, she found plastic in every single one. None were free of synthetic fragments."

🧡1. In the interview with @danaparish

Redfield stresses that the evidence points to lab creation for a reusable, aerosolized vaccine vector, with US complicity in funding/tech.

He says he is fed up with the cover-ups and predicts that full intel release would confirm this.
🧡2. Proof?

Unfortunately, there is no direct proof provided by Redfield in this new interview, but he cites engineering features, early data, and classified information.
🧡3. Summary of Redfield's Statements

(on SARS-CoV-2 Origins & Cover-Up)

He claims SARS-CoV-2 originated from GOF research in a lab and emphasizes a significant US role alongside China.

He views this as a major biosecurity failure with ongoing suppression of transparency.
