1/ ๐—ง๐—›๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—”๐——: My name is Dr. Simon Goddek, I am a biotechnologist, and only recently @elonmusk reinstated my account after being permabanned for 1.5 years. In 2021, I took Twitter to court and curiously lost the lawsuit. #FollowTheSilenced

This is my story. Image
2/ While I was still cautious at the beginning of 2020 because of the pictures in Bergamo, I had wondered more and more why people were forced to wear masks and no "expert" was talking about vitamin D.
3/ In good faith with science, I wrote a scientific paper on vitamin D in mid-2020 to demonstrate (by illustrating metabolic pathways) that giving "high doses" could treat covid and other health-related problems. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32768697/
4/ It didn't take long for my former employer @wur to receive the first emails. They stated that I was a pseudoscientist and corona denier. My "unscientific publication" had to be retracted immediately, was the demand of these people, who were members of the "skeptical movement".
5/ I consequently became active on @twitter end of 2020. I had never been a social media person but I felt that I could no longer be silent, given the fact that I was working at a Dutch university and being an editor of a Q1 journal at that time. This is when it all started...
6/ Via @waukema, I learned that the German State Virologist and fearmonger, @c_drosten, got his publication on the Covid PCR test through peer review at record time. Without this specific PCR test, we would probably never have noticed this "coronavirus".
7/ I started to analyse what happened and came to the conclusion that the peer-review process was rigged as the chronology of the events shows. I consequently wrote my first Twitter thread that went viral.
8/ These are the questions I raised:
โ–ถ๏ธŽ How did Drosten's paper make it through the peer review process within 24h?
โ–ถ๏ธŽ How does he even publish there while being part of the journal's editorial board?
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Why does the journal refuse to publish anonymous peer-review reports?
9/ Overnight I gained thousands of followers and was heavily attacked by virologists from @UniUtrecht and @erasmusuni. They tried everything to get me to take my thread (see substack link) offline. This was my first contact with the cancel culture movement.drsimon.substack.com/publish/post/7โ€ฆ
10/ I did some more digging and also learned that @c_drostenโ€ฆ
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Created that specific PCR test most likely even before the outbreak of the pandemic
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Denied viral seasonality (t.me/goddek/1295)
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Made contradictory statements about masks (t.me/goddek/563)
11/ โ€ฆandโ€ฆ
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Predicted piles of corpses on African streets (bit.ly/3ictjy4)
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Called renowned dissidents "pseudoscientists" (bit.ly/36ngzle)
โ–ถ๏ธŽ Got funds from the @gatesfoundation and had his professorship sponsored by Nazi-money (Quandt Family)
12/ Questions upon questions and still no answers. My account grew. I began to post more studies, for example, about the efficacy of masks, the implementation of arbitrary measures and their effects on public health, the potential of vitamin D, etc.
13/ The more I wrote, the more "fan mail" my then-employer @wur got. My research funding expired in March 2021, but I had written an EU-funding proposal in 2020 (in my spare time) to prolong my employment. The chance to win was 1% and guess what - I won. ๐Ÿฅณ
14/ Even though @wur backed me and I personally raised a large amount of funding for them, I was told by phone that I would be dismissed from my position because of my tweets. They would use the money I generated to hire someone less critical. Overnight, I was out of a job.
15/ Since life in ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ was too expensive for an unemployed person, I decided to move to ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท to live with my partner. There I bought a few hectares of land in the jungle to escape the madness. I had to leave my family and friends behind. It hurt, but I did not have much of a choice.
16/ These were difficult months for me. The feeling of being treated unfairly and cancelled was suffocating. I just couldn't sit on it. I decided to take Twitter to court. "Justice will prevail", I thought. A naive thought, as it would later turn out.
17/ My posts must have consistently been a thorn in the side of the woke fact-checkers from Twitter's Ministry of Truth, and I've regularly been temporarily banned from Twitter for statements that are mainstream these days. Here are a few examples. #cringealert
18/ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—”๐— ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—˜ ๐—ข๐—ก๐—˜: I referred to this publication (mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/8โ€ฆ), which has been peer-reviewed. Twitter banned me for doing so for one week for "Violating the policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.".
19/ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—”๐— ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—˜ ๐—ง๐—ช๐—ข: I cited (!!!) a scientist from an official Texas Senate hearing and posted the corresponding video. See:
20/ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—”๐— ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—˜ ๐—ง๐—›๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—˜: Here, I referred to meta-analyses that are available on vdmeta.com and c19ivm.org. Fun fact: the scientists that are running these websites have been banned from @twitter, too.
21/ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—”๐— ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—˜ ๐—™๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ: In June 2021, I was banned for asking questions. The @gatesfoundation really invested that much into BioNTech (endpts.com/biontech-partnโ€ฆ). Why was it prohibited to ask questions?
22/ One day later, my account got permabanned. My impact was probably too big (400 new followers per day and 3K likes on average) that Twitter pulled the ripcord. My account was banned for "targeted harassment" without Twitter providing me with a specific explanation.
23/ Even after requesting further information about permanently locking my account, Twitter refused to give me the actual or specific reason for the suspension. Since I had moved to Brazil in the meantime, I took Twitter to court here.
24/ I contracted one of the best lawyers for media law in Brazil, who informed me in beforehand that Twitter is the worst social medium and that they usually do not care about free speech. He told me that there is a high likelihood that theyโ€™d have to reinstate my account.
25/ However, due to the "pandemic," the hearing could not take place in person. Instead, we had a Zoom Call. Present were the judge, my lawyer, me and six (!!!) lawyers for Twitter.
26/ The Brazilian armada of Twitter lawyers explained during the trial that I was not banned for "targeted harassment" but for spreading dangerous medical falsehoods (i.e. Twitter initially lied). Nevertheless, I was also presented with the tweet that led to my final suspension.
27/ The second hearing was in writing only. The judge's decision was then made in March 2022. It was argued that it did not matter whether my statements were correct or not. According to the judge, Twitter has digital domiciliary rights in Brazil.
28/ The Twitter chapter was therefore closed for me. My permaban was politically motivated and there was nothing I could do about it. So I put my energy into my Telegram channel (t.me/goddek) and my new permacultural life in the Brazilian wilderness.
29/ In the meantime I have found a new job and my Twitter account has been reinstated thanks to @elonmusk. What remains is that we have been insulted, cancelled, ridiculed, and publicly discredited for speaking out against irrational measures.
@elonmusk 30/ My story is one of millions. Many of you have surely suffered a similar, if not worse, fate. That is precisely why we must stick together and support each other. My PMs are open and on @telegram I read every single one of your comments. It's wonderful that you all exist!
@elonmusk @telegram 31/ We who have been cancelled must finally be heard again. Hence #FollowTheSilenced instead of #FollowTheScience. My story was just one of many. Many like-minded people share a similar fate with me. Some of them are...

๐ŸšจBREAKING: Community Notes on X are COMPROMISED.

Why does the @CommunityNotes employee @_jaybaxter_ mass-block conservatives while allowing pharma-backed manipulators to abuse the system and threaten non-socialist voices?

I GOT ALL THE RECEIPTS. Let's dive in. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
2/ Meet Ryan T. (formerly @rt7683), the man behind the @CommunityNotes account 'Enterprising Desert Raven.' He's actively silencing conservative voices by issuing direct threats. But whoโ€™s enabling this censorship from inside X? Keep reading... Image

3/ First of all, how do we know Ryan is behind 'Enterprising Desert Raven'? Well, he bragged about it while threatening @TRHLofficial, flaunting his Community Notes power. Yet he's untouchable. How is this even possible? Image

๐ŸงตHOW THEY CREATED THE FAKE PANDEMIC

They fooled the world, crashed economies, censored truth, and rewrote science overnight.

Here's exactly how they turned fear, lies, and propaganda into the greatest power grab of our time.

โฌ‡๏ธ A THREAD โฌ‡๏ธ Image
1. Staged Wuhan Panic: China kicked off the scare with choreographed "collapse in the street" videos. People dramatically keeling over in Wuhan, something never seen elsewhere. Even WHO called these collapses "atypical." It was pure psy-op theater to ignite global fear.
2. Bogus PCR cases: A phony testing regime built the โ€œcasedemic.โ€ The German cirologist @c_drosten introduced a PCR test that canโ€™t diagnose infection โ€“ cranked to excessive cycle thresholds so it flagged mostly false positives. Millions of healthy people were branded โ€œdangerous COVID cases,โ€ juicing the numbers to justify lockdowns.Image

#1 While the world locked down, the REAL pandemic exploded: OBESITY.

They shut gyms, pushed fast food, and kept you indoors, all while demonizing sunlight, exercise, and fresh air.

Itโ€™s time to expose the health crisis THEY donโ€™t want you to notice.

A MIND-BLOWING THREAD ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
#2 Obesity isnโ€™t a first-world anomaly; itโ€™s everywhere. Over 1 billion people worldwide are now classified as obese โ€“ and close to 3 billion are overweight. By 2022, 1 in 8 people on the planet were living with obesity. This explosion has been steady and unrelenting. Image
#3 Obesity directly causes about 3.7 million deaths per year, making it one of the top global killers, way more than the Covid sniffles. Yet we never saw daily news tickers counting obesity deaths. But why? Image

Ladies and gentlemen, meet German mainstream journalist @larsweisbrodโ€”defender of math, enemy of nuance. Image
@larsweisbrod LMAO! It's even getting better. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Image
@larsweisbrod LOL! These are the same people who told us masks would stop a 'virus,' the jab was 100% safe and effective, biological sex is a social construct, and that questioning any of it makes you a far-right extremist. Image

๐ŸงตTHREAD: Youโ€™re Not Free โ€“ Youโ€™re Taxed Like a Serf

Most people donโ€™t understand taxes. They just pay them.

But if you knew how much of your life youโ€™re giving up, youโ€™d be furious.

Letโ€™s break it down โ€” historically and factually.

Because youโ€™re not as free as you think. โฌ‡๏ธ Image
2/ In Ancient Egypt, citizens paid 20% of their grain as tax. During famine, many gave up their land to survive.

The Papyrus Harris I shows how temples & officials absorbed everything, turning people into serfs on state land.

Today, we lose up to 50% of our income to taxes. Image
3/ In feudal Europe, peasants were tied to land they didnโ€™t own.

They worked for themselves a few days a week, and for the lord the rest. On top of that, they owed a 10% tithe to the Church and grain taxes to the Crown.

And still we teach kids they were โ€œoppressed.โ€

But most Western workers today lose 30โ€“40% of their income before it ever hits their bank account.Image
