1) UK govt recklessly dragged us into the US-led Ukraine-Russia conflict knowing it would pauperise Brits on top of no-deal Brexit.
Nuland: "F**k the EU." And they did. US grabbed Russia's gas market & inflated prices.
Energy & food poverty for us, profits for them. #Nordstream
2) The war in Ukraine started in 2014 with the Maidan coup, not February 2022.
It was planned as early as 2002 by Nuland's husband, Kagan, and Wolfowitz. consortiumnews.com/2022/07/01/ukr… #Nordstream

1) A tsunami of deflection from US & Covid.
However ...
Summer 2019: strange vaping & Fairfax care home deaths remain uninvestigated in US.
By July 2019 Trump's trade war is failing. He closes US pandemic team & Beijing CDC office. Johnson closes UK pandemic team. >>> #Fauci2) 18Oct2019: WEF/Bill Gates Event 201 showcases a Covid-like scenario as a "tabletop exercise" in NYC.
On the same day the international Military Games opens in Wuhan. US team unusually poor & comes next to last.
2 weeks later, Wuhan is the epicentre of the CoV pandemic. >>>

This article is from Stanford University, established by one of the Big Four founders of the Central Pacific Rail Road, Leland Stanford.
Its heritage is mired in the exploitation of Chinese labour, imported to build the railroad on the cheap.
Continuing the tradition.
2) When the US Civil War ended, the CPRR's Big Four investors sent to China for labourers who, they knew from early miners in California, would work hard for lower wages than the mainly Irish workers.
10-12,000 Chinese had to work off their debt & buy their own food. >>>

1) A Short 21st C Timeline of the Dash to World War III:
When China explored & reached East Africa in the 15thC, they traded a bit & brought back a giraffe.
When Europeans landed in the Americas in 1492, they killed & enslaved its native people. madammiaow.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-we…2) George W Bush designates China a “competitor” in his 2000 election & again in 2005 from the rubble of Iraq. >>>

To sum up #Beijing Winter Olympics 2022: 1) China held the event in a pandemic 2) Showcased measures to control Covid, keeping everyone safe. (Embarrassing US/UK) 3) First carbon neutral games 4) Solidarity among athletes despite media hostility. 5) Beautiful, hi-tech facilities
The @BBC blathering on again about NO SNOW, then TOO MUCH SNOW. 🙄
So instead of Plague Island learning anything from the #BeijingOlympics, the BBC blocks facts with hate propaganda.
China spends more on green energy than anyone else, and the games are carbon neutral.

THREAD: 1) Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Trump in cornered rat mode yells about "China virus". Really? The Covid-19 chronology ignored by MSM:
April 2017 Trump makes a profit from his shares in Regeneron & Gilead. #coronavirus
2) May 2017, the month after his Regeneron & Gilead profits, Trump sends his covfefe tweets cuz he can't keep the excitement to himself. #COVID19#coronavirus

Pompeo's China attacks increasingly unhinged, & now on environment from fossil fuel guzzlers? At 4 times US population, China's per capita carbon emission less than half US, 7th in the world. Global pollution making stuff moved to China. #Paris#renewableenergy@AttenboroughSir
2) So what have we learnt from @thecyrusjanssen's video? 2016 Carbon Dioxide Co2 EMISSIONS per capita: 1) US – 14.95t 2) Canada – 14.91t 3) South Korea – 11.50t 4) Russia – 9.97t 5) Japan – 9.04t 6) Germany – 8.88t 7) China – 6.57t
1) Trump/Pompeo/UK disinfo on Hong Kong National Security Law. 1984 Joint Dec: "The [HKSAR] will be directly under the authority of the Central People's Government of the [PRC &] will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, EXCEPT IN FOREIGN & DEFENCE AFFAIRS." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Brit… >
2) US NED-funded protesters trashed Hong Kong, beat, maimed, burn & killed Chinese civilians for a year while the cops struggled to maintain order & killed no-one. Meanwhile, US killed 1,004 Americans last year yet they're attacking China? Perverse.
THREAD. Refreshingly objective piece by @MaxBoot with a few caveats. "If China had acted even 2 wks earlier, it cld've averted 86% of its coronavirus cases. But if Trump (acted) 2 wks earlier he could have prevented 90% of U.S. CV deaths." 1) washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…2) China fumbled the start but it was investigating in the dark. This was a NEW "novel" coronavirus & they were panicked like everyone else. But once they got on the case they turbo-charged their efforts, sequencing the gene code in record time & sending it out 11-12 Jan.

So once more @StephenMcDonell sticks a target on every Chinese person saying in his report on @bbcworldservice today that China was "the country that caused this catastrophe". Unscientific, unethical, just vile. #COVID19
BBC "journalist" @StephenMcDonell is too cowardly to engage with the horror of what he has done & has blocked me after targeting Chinese people with his unethical World Service report. There are serious points to be made about the science of #COVID19. ... 2
