19. Why the Division?

Eastern and Southern Ukraine (Light Green in Map) were former constituent parts of Russia that were added to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic by Soviet Communist Party leaders when Ukraine and Russia were two parts of the same country.
20. Crimea - 2 Referendums - Disputed

1994 Crimean referendum

2014 Crimean status referendum
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crim…
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.
33. Don't be shooting the messenger now!

@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 Not sure what your point is ragrding hACE2 mice infection.

Have you read all the other hACE2 mouse model papers that show SC2 infection.

I have!

Here are 15 of them, please read them:

1. Animal models for SC2 and SC1 pathogenesis & transmission

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC87…
@Daoyu15 @jhas5 @Fynnderella1 2. Mouse Models for SC2 Infection

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC85…

3. Highly susceptible hACE2-transgenic mouse model for SC-2 research

frontiersin.org/journals/micro…

4. Inducible hACE2 transgenic mouse model recapitulates SC-2 infection & pathogenesis in vivo

@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Yes, we thoroughy researched this issue some time ago.

Difficult to prove anything, but certainly raises suspicions.
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Interestingly, the E protein and nsp7 of ZC45 are 100% identical to those of SARS-COV-2.

Even Holmes (Wu et al., 2020) listed ZC45 as closest in Feb 2020 until the RaTG13 full genome was published in March

nature.com/articles/s4158…
@Ticklicker56 @Biorealism Phylogenetic trees and analysis from the early days

nature.com/articles/s4158…

What's unusual is that Wu & Holmes (2020) did NOT inlcude the RdRp of SC2 in the analysis

Holmes definitely knew of the RdRp of RaTG13 (4991) and RaTG13's sequence since 2018

🧵The Censorship of an Innocent Monkey!

by the following Western "science" websites:

@biorxivpreprint

@medrxivpreprint

and Chinese news websites:

@globaltimesnews

@PDChina

Let's see what disturbs them so much that they have to censor certain comments?

1. Spiked: The Hunt For The Origin of Covid-19

Good news @BlueAntMedia is going to publish it

Many #DRASTIC interviews including myself 🐵

"SPIKED tells the inside story of one of humanity’s biggest & most pressing mysteries: the debate over the origins of COVID-19"

Clip 👇
2. The Making of the Documentary (20 minutes)

"Unfolding like true crime, this detective story takes us deep into clashing conspiracy theories & partisanship while exposing the dangers posed by experiments regularly taking place in the world’s biolabs"

worldscreenevents.com/premieres/spik…
3. Our film is a true crime detective thriller

"It’s about the future of biotech and the next pandemic. We wanted to make a contentious story really exciting, with twists and turns, that covers the science but with a strong dramatic structure"

and this is why they hate @X

Because their lies & propaganda are exposed

Their Masters have lost control!

1. "For me with this data a lab origin is now more than likely" says @dr_louwen

Referring to ON876210 ( i think ;)



From authors of this paper (Submitted March 2020)

An Infectious cDNA Clone of SARS-CoV-2



h/t @Rebecca21951651 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/ON8762…
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2. From 2020 Paper

“icSars_CoV_2 retained the engineered molecular markers & did not acquire other mutations”.

@dr_louwen considers that:

1. This increases the validity of the genetic finding

2. This isolate is highly similar to the wild type isolate 2019-nCoV/USA_WA1/2020
@dr_louwen 3. Point 2 above refers to "ON876210"

(My mistake in Tweet 1)

Submitted (29-JUN-2022) in the USA
