1/X Bellagio Rockefeller Initiative (Global Virome Project)
Another look at some key people in the GVP & their media statements since January 2020 about "natural origin" and impossibility of a "lab leak"
Full List of 18 scientists in photograph is here:
https://t.co/yHoAjwQjI8

 2/X
We have already looked closely at Dennis Carroll, Peter Daszak, George Gao, W. Ian Lipkin & seen their public statements supporting "natural origin" & hysterical attacks on "lab leak" theories.
This thread focuses on:
Michael Kurilla
Jonna Mazet
Edward Rubin (Metabiota)
3/X
If we look at the leadership team of GVP, you will see some familiar faces:
https://t.co/WdT8sNnfmy
Most familiar is probably Peter Daszak, the wealthy Treasurer, also with the key role of Secretary.
Note: USAID PREDICT Project - EcoHealthAlliance
4/X
The "Chair" is Dr. Dennis Carroll
We will have a look at his media statements on the coronavirus pandemic by inputting his name in Twitter search box (very easy!)
Note: Previously was Director of USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats Program
5/X Dennis Carroll's video media statements (1):

8/X Jonna Mazet
Next we will look at what Jonna Mazet has been saying publicly since January. Jonna is a VIP in the US, a Professor, Director of USAID's One Health & Predict Projects, a VIP in the US Covid-19 response team and here we see she is also an important GVP team member

https://t.co/PPHgBgiejj
Next we look at her recent statements about the "impossibility" of a lab leak
11/X Jonna Mazet's 4 claims:
1. Lab’s samples don’t match new coronavirus
Mazet worked with Shi via USAID PREDICT:
“I’ve spoken to her recently, she is absolutely positive that she had never identified this virus prior to the outbreak happening”
https://t.co/bn0UXwG3Ew
TRUST?
12/X Remember Zheng-Li Shi's altered then deleted WIV bat virus database?
"Mazet added that Shi set up a secure, shared database into which PREDICT members could upload their work for public release"
I asked her about this today, not expecting a reply ;)
https://t.co/2u6ZN8ewEl
13/X Mazet's Claims
2. The lab implements rigorous safety protocols
Mazet said Shi’s work in the lab and in the field was above reproach:
“In the field, they wear extreme PPE, including multiple layers of gloves, eye protection, full body suits, and masks,” she said.
She lied
14/X Mazet's Claim2
She says something strange:
She noted, however, that she has not personally visited the WIV & "couldn’t speak to all the research done there"
(Very similar phrase used by Edward Holmes)
She was reported to have trained WIV lab workers.
Where? Galveston, USA?
15/X Mazet on Samples (1)
"Samples collected from bats get immediately split between vials that contain chemicals that deactivate the virus, & other containers that leave the virus alive.
All samples are then dunked into liquid nitrogen on the spot, which freezes them,
16/X samples (2)
Then vials disinfected & transported to lab.
Scientists wearing PPE unload them into a freezer set to minus 80 C.
When samples are studied later, researchers only use deactivated, non-infectious ones.
Vials with viable virus are locked down in a special area.
17/X Mazet's Claim 3
"coronavirus is latest in long line of zoonotic disease outbreaks (spillovers) & is more likely latest disease to jump from an animal host to humans "experts" say"
Oh, right, experts from GVP!
You can read her supporting examples here:
https://t.co/bn0UXwG3Ew
18/ X Claim 3
She states:
Cross-species hop also led to outbreaks of Ebola & SARS, which originated in bats.
3/4 of EID from other species.
Coronavirus is 7th zoonotic virus to have spilled over into people in the last century.
2009 H1N1 swine flu killed 300,000 people via pigs
19/X Claim 3
Bird flu via direct contact with infected poultry.
Pandemic influenza strains:
1957 Asian flu & 1968 HK pandemic likely started in birds
In last 45 years, at least 4 epidemics have been traced back to bats.
THESE FACTS IN NO WAY INVALIDATE A LAB LEAK HYPOTHESIS
20/X Claim 4
"Everyday people" more likely to get infected than researchers who wear protection (dog whistle safe sex)
Caves where samples get collected from bats are dangerous places for people, since humans can be exposed to live viruses.
WIV Team entered caves without PPE!!
21/ X Claim 4
Mazet continues to lie:
"Shi’s researchers navigate those caves in full PPE; but tourists, hunters, poachers, and other people who rely on animals in some capacity for food or trade wander into such places less protected"
Blame the bloody tourists, right?
22/X
"Eroding confidence between US & Chinese researchers"
Yuan Zhiming, director of the WIV’s biosafety laboratory, told Reuters that “malicious” claims about the lab had been “pulled out of thin air” and contradicted all available evidence
What evidence? What the PLA took away?
23/X Nitty Gritty
"persistent circulation of lab-leak theory could impact future scientific cooperation & information sharing between US & China"
“What’s happening sociologically right now is biggest risk, who will want to work on this if they’re the ones put under a microscope?”
24/X Nitty Gritty
“real danger of what’s going on now is that experts like Shi & myself may not be able to keep collaborating to identify viruses because of government pressures.”
Mazet worries a blame game could even put lives at risk in the short term.
WHAT ABOUT OUR LIVES?
25/ X Bedtime for me, will continue tomorrow with:
Michael Kurilla the biowarfare expert
other GVP leaders:
Greedy Edward Rubin (Metabiota)
& Jennifer Gardy, Deputy Director, Surveillance, Data, and Epidemiology for Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Malaria team

The residence of coup leader Min Aung Hlaing is a testament to his ambition—and his fear of the people he seeks to rule

https://t.co/yInq583gI5


Apart from Mansion 1, which serves as his official residence, Min Aung Hlaing is known to have several other homes. One is the Yarzathingaha residence in Naypyitaw’s Ottarathiri Township & another is at No.14 Inya Road in Yangon, also properties in Pyin Oo Lwin.


As Myanmar’s most powerful family accumulates vast wealth through military-linked companies like Mytel, the country’s poverty rate will double by next year due to the combined impact of Covid-19 pandemic & the coup.

Nearly half of Myanmar will be living in absolute poverty

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

I worked in bank liquidity and treasury for the better part of the last decade, and there is one very interesting risk factor from the SVB collapse that I do not think we have ever witnessed before in modern finance, a 🧵:

First, some context. Following the 2008 financial crisis where a massive driver of stress was caused by low quality assets littering the balance sheets of massive institutions, the regulators sought to create a framework to ensure all banks were verifiably sound.

This meant forcing Federally registered banks to conform to capital and liquidity ratios. If they did not comply, they would not be allowed to issue dividends or buy back stocks, hurting the value of their enterprise.

There was the introduction of the concept of RWA, or risk weighted assets. A simple way to think of these ratios is, the riskier your asset base on a weighted basis, the more high quality capital (think cash) you would need to hold to stay in compliance.

Not only were banks required to regularly be in compliance with these ratios as a going concern, but needed to prove they could maintain certain limits when met with a time of stress across a number of incrementally adverse scenarios.

Hello Dear Tweeples!

It’s Siddhars time of the week! Last week I shared story of Guru (Machamuni or Yogi Matsyendranath), this week I bring you information on his Shishya.

#Thread on Gorakanathar Siddhar.

@LostTemple7


His origin story is interesting, though I couldn’t verify it’s authenticity, so not sharing the story here. He’s shishya of Machamuni Siddhar and also learnt from Agasthiya Siddhar.

@HelloNNewman @RajiIndustani @Kishoreciyer1

Unlike other Siddhars, he is depicted as either with a Tiger or seated & wearing Tiger skin. While I couldn’t find any explanation for this. My interpretation is as follows:

Tiger is a predator that lurks around and attacks unexpectedly.


Our 5 indriyas and 5 vikitis also similar to Tiger, they lurk around and attacks our thoughts when we’re least expecting. Gorakkar is said to have mastered these aspects, thus to denote this, he shown with Tiger.

@Itishree001 @VarierSangitha @jananisampath

Gorakanathar or Gorakshnath (as he’s known in the Nath Sampraday) is celebrated Guru in both Northern and Southern part of India. He’s one of the NavNath in Nath Sampraday and also 18 Siddhars of Tamil tradition. During his life, he’s travelled Indian subcontinent extensively +

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

2/x
Under Mr. Patrick’s direction, scientists at Fort Detrick developed a tularemia agent that, if disseminated by airplane, could cause casualties & sickness over 1000s mi². In a 10,000 mi² range, it had 90% casualty rate & 50% fatality rate


3/x His team explored Q fever, plague, & Venezuelan equine encephalitis, testing more than 20 anthrax strains to discern most lethal variety. Fort Detrick scientists used aerosol spray systems inside fountain pens, walking sticks, light bulbs, & even in 1953 Mercury exhaust pipes


4/x After retiring in 1986, Mr. Patrick remained one of the world’s foremost specialists on biological warfare & was a consultant to the CIA, FBI, & US military. He debriefed Soviet defector Ken Alibek, the deputy chief of the Soviet biowarfare program

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
