I've been travelling to Hong Kong on and off for more than 20 years now, for holiday & family reasons, with a hiatus for a few years due to the democracy protests and being banned from there on account of my COVID unjabbed status.
Just back from another visit and I thought I would share my experiences for the benefit of anyone who might be considering a trip there.
1/ Brief history: Hong Kong island was ceded to Britain in 1842 via the Treaty of Nanjing, becoming a British Crown Colony. Further territory on the mainland was ceded to Britain for 99 years from 1898. Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997, becoming a Special Autonomous Region, in theory at least, preserving many of the freedoms previously enjoyed under UK rule.

When I studied engineering I did a course called Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition.
I was rubbish at it, found it deadly dull, the lecturer was uninspiring and I gave it up as soon as humanly possible.
Which is ironic really, because pattern recognition was what alerted me very early on to the fact that the "pandemic" was likely a scam. 1/4 I remembered that back in 2009/2010 a big deal was made out of a swine flu outbreak, also originating in China, whereby pharmaceutical companies, the WHO, modellers and health "experts" exaggerated the seriousness of the threat, governments massively over-ordered treatments and novel vaccines, and the vaccines turned out to be faulty and/or ineffective (Pandermix was found to cause narcolepsy in the under 20s - resulting in long-running legal cases).

On looking into this further, it transpired that many of the same names were involved then as a decade later - Christian Drosten, Neil Ferguson and Anthony Fauci on the Empire side, and Wolfgang Wodarg on the Rebel Alliance side.

And European politicians were very critical of the WHO and demanding an investigation.

Doesn't it all sound very familiar?

All captured very well by Channel 4 News, back in the days when they hadn't been bought by the Pharma industry. 2/4

A thread. 🧵
Introduction
Every so often I sit down and try to write a concise, Twitter tweet style, summary of what went down in relation to the Coronapanic. For two purposes:
1. To get my own mind straight about what (I think) happened and incorporate my latest understanding based on what I've read;
2. To be able to point to something if an imaginary person comes to me and says "ok, I don't believe the news media narrative any more, what do you think really happened?"

This is the result. It turned out not to be very concise after all. There's 20 tweets of dense text. Sorry about that. Scroll to the last tweet if you are attentionally challenged. 1/20. Via a vehicle called EcoHealthAlliance which was funded by the US government and was essentially a front for the US Department of Defense, gain of function research which was no longer allowed to take place in the US was outsourced to a lab in Wuhan in China. This research was focused on SARS-like coronaviruses remarkably similar to SARS-COV-2.

A thread. 🧵This is the final part of my effort to show that, contrary to BBC Verify's belief that there is a UK Conspiracy movement out in the country spreading dis- & mis-information about COVID and the vaccines, what exists is ordinary people trying to correct... 1/ the misinformation and disinformation spread by mainstream media outlets, including the BBC.
You can find parts 1-6 here in the link below. 2/

A thread 🧵Back in May there was talk from the people of BBC Verify that a "Conspiracy Movement" exists in the UK. I disagreed and pointed out that on the contrary what exists is legacy media conspiring to cover up the truth about many issues, notably COVID % the vaccines. 1/ I listed a number of specific issues where lies had been told. A fan of the BBC (who has since blocked me) posted a flat denial that any of these were true, but said he wasn't going to go through them individually. I replied that I would go through them individually. 2/

A wee thread 🧵about how the need to conform can make people disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes.
A psychologist called Solomon Asch in 1951 devised an experiment to demonstrate this.
The task for the participants was to examine several lines on a piece of paper and... 1/ identify which was the same length as the "target" line on the left. So for example, anyone could see at a moment's glance that line C was the same length as the target line.
In each test, all but one of the participants were Asch collaborators, with the real participants 2/

A thread 🧵
A while back, the BBC Verify people were going on about there being a "UK Conspiracy Movement" and I pointed out that in fact what really exists is a number of ordinary citizens disgusted at 3 years of blatant propaganda from mainstream media, doing their best to...1/ ...find out the truth & publish it on social media. I listed a number of ways in which the mainstream media narrative wasn't true & a BBC fan suggested that what I had said wasn't correct. They wouldn't specify why but I promised to list the evidence... 2/

🧵A thread.
A couple of weeks ago I pointed out that contrary to what the BBC seems to think, there is no "UK Conspiracy Movement"...

https://twitter.com/A1an_M/status/1662208863418867714

1/ ...just many individuals desperate to seek & share truth rather than lies fed to them by the mainstream media, especially about COVID.
I promised to justify my claims with data and evidence, so this is part 3:
"The vaccines don't prevent infection or transmission of the virus" 2/

A thread 🧵
Last week I posted the tweet below and promised to post up some evidence to back up these statements

🧵In part 1 of "What do you do when a government agency fails you?" I talked about the manifest failures of the MHRA to properly regulate the COVID vaccines, in particular the Astra Zeneca one.

https://twitter.com/A1an_M/status/1642230113696718849

In this, part 2 I'll talk about why they may be failing. 👇 1/ One possible explanation for the MHRA's failures is that they were simply overwhelmed. The COVID pandemic involved the rollout of injectable products at a speed and a scale never seen before. Even the seasonal influenza vaccine programme scaled up more slowly... 2/

🧵What do you do when a government agency fails you? As I outlined below and has been talked about a lot, the MHRA by any reasonable standards has failed to do its job of medicines regulation properly during the COVID pandemic. A thread. 1/

🧵@JamesDelingpole has written a good piece in TCW on journalists' coverage of the "pandemic", concluding that many journalists are lazy & cowardly. I've had some dealings with MSM journalists recently so I'd been thinking about this too. Some thoughts 👇
conservativewoman.co.uk/inexcusable-th… A couple of decades ago I shared my flat with a journalist. She was at that time a crime reporter on a regional paper and having moved to a new, smaller town, bemoaned the absence of "decent crime" to report on. I thought this was a strange perspective on life but... 2/

🧵A long time before COVID, I got into the habit of reading mainstream media from the bottom of the page upwards. I'd go straight to the comments below the line, order by "Best" and see what people had to say about the "news" above the line. Why did I do this? 1/ The foremost question in my mind wasn't "what happened today?". It was "is it just me that thinks this way?" At the time I didn't really think about why that should be so important. But now, reflecting on the COVID period it's become much more obvious... 2/

A thread/rant. 🧵
When did the UK turn into such a selfish country?
During lockdown an attitude heard often from lockdown fans was "well it's not so bad really, you get to work from home on full pay, or the government pays you 80% to do nothing, get stuff delivered, and it's...1/ for everyone's benefit" neglecting to think about the key workers who had to work throughout, including the people delivering their shopping, or those who weren't eligible for furlough payments, or small businesses which went to the wall, or children who missed school... 2/

A thread about excess mortality across Europe.
@ABridgen posted the excess mortality chart for Germany which shows that current excess mortality exceeds the heights of the 2020 "pandemic". 1/ I had a look at a few other countries around Europe to see if this was an isolated example. France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal do not see this effect. But if you look at the Nordic countries excluding Sweden, something very similar is going on.
Denmark:
