published an article today on the “panic paper”-scandal in Germany.

Title is "Maximum collaboration”, showing @BMI_Bund / Horst Seehofer had a secret paper drafted in the 1st COVID-19 wave that dramatically depicted the threat.

A scandal of gigantic proportions. Thread⬇️

 2/: @welt released 2 versions: long version as print, short-edit, online.

This thread focuses on the long version. It's of crucial importance-people around the globe understand this earthshaking scandal. Share.

English: https://t.co/qAbU6D8c0P

German: https://t.co/W2i1FtVrCg
3/: Mid-March 2020: Federal Minister of the Interior-Horst Seehofer (@BMI_Bund, @cducsubt) was on the edge: Christian Drosten (@c_drosten) & Lothar Wieler (@RKI) urgently warned: Germany was threatened w/ dramatic consequences if the country returned to everyday life too quickly.
4/: Horst Seehofer sent his Secretary of State Markus Kerber into the lane. The plan was to bring together leading scientists: they should produce a paper that would then serve as legitimation for further tough political measures, beyond Easter - now known as the “panic paper”.
5/: Markus Kerber launched a corresponding call to researchers via e-mail, 4 days later, the request was fulfilled: A classified paper, which presented the danger posed by the virus as dramatically as possible, and which quickly spread through the media.
6/: In a "worst case scenario," they painted: If Germany did nothing, more than a million people in the country would be dead by the end of the pandemic.

Said correspondence is available to @welt, shows exactly what happened during those critical days in Mar 2020 on 200 pages.
7/: Seehofer's authority was intent on enlisting the commissioned scientists for the political purpose he had in mind - and that they were happy to heed the call.

The 200 or so pages of e-mails thus prove that.
8/: The researchers were by no means acting as independently as scientists and the federal government have been constantly emphasizing since the beginning of the pandemic - but were working toward a predetermined, fixed result dictated by politicians.
9/: A group of lawyers, represented by Berlin attorney @nhaerting obtained the 200 pages/emails in a months-long legal dispute, they reveal a lot about how the Interior Ministry influenced researchers & how they collaborated to portray the situation as threatening as possible.
10/: A calculation model was needed to "get 'in front of the situation' mentally, in terms of planning, measures of a preventive & repressive nature."

The secretary painted a dystopia: It was a matter of "maintaining internal security & stability of public order in Germany."
11/: Kerber asked for secrecy: what would be discussed in these circles in the coming days should be kept confidential "outside of operationally active crisis management institutions."

"Without bureaucracy. Maximum courage," Kerber wrote.
12/: "Whether & how long the networks would continue to function reliably," the participants were to transmit telephone numbers, private e-mail addys.

Compared the situation "with Apollo 13" to Wieler: "Very difficult task, but with a happy ending due to maximum collaboration."
13/: He set the tone for the approach that the Minister of the Interior apparently expected from the scientists he had written to:

a presentation of the situation that was as threatening as possible.
14/: The result was available only four days later: That secret paper, stamped "VS - For official use only," about the looming prospect of up to a million dead.

It also said how to achieve the "desired shock effect" in society in order to avoid this worst acceptable case.
15/: "Many seriously ill people are brought to the hospital by their relatives, but are turned away, and die agonizingly at home, gasping for breath."

Thus, it is hoped to make it acceptable among citizens understanding, among other things, a "sharp but short exit restriction."
16/: During those four days, Kerber & other high-ranking ministry officials meticulously followed the researchers' work and dictated the course of action.

Correspondence shows: conference calls between @BMI_Bund & the researchers at short intervals.
17/: The scientists also made concrete suggestions-how to address "fear and readiness to follow in the population."

"Söder is intuitively right," wrote one.

"The spreading sense of powerlessness must probably be held in check by the impression of strong state interventionism."
18/: The e-mails show something else, perhaps far more serious: The scientists did not agree on the scientific assessment of the situation.

They discussed among themselves, for example, which figures they should use as a basis for calculating the desired scenarios.
19/: The question was: What assumption should be made about what percentage of infected persons in Germany would die from the virus?
20/: This value was not easy to quantify; there was little experience with the virus. @rki_de had just published its own model. According to it, 0.56 % of infected persons in Germany were expected to die from the virus.

The RWI, however, argued for a death rate of 1.2 %.
21/ : Its responsible researcher wrote that one should argue in the paper "from the goal", namely "to show high pressure for action" and from the precautionary principle "rather worse than too good". State Secretary Kerber read along with all this.
22/: It is conspicuous that both figures appear in the paper finally prepared by the ministry. There it says: "In a very moderate scenario, the RKI currently assumes a lethality of 0.56 percent. Further modeling uses a case mortality of 1.2 percent."
23/: In other words, @BMI_Bund explicitly decided VS using only the @rki_de's restrained value for its calculations - even though Wieler's agency is precisely responsible for that: providing the figures on the basis of which the government argues when planning its measures.
24/: The ministry used the "worst case" - how many would die if life continued completely as before Corona? This is the logic of @BMI_Bund: Because Seehofer's agency is responsible for the internal security, they always want to be prepared for the greatest possible damage.
25/: From the point of view of @bmi_bund, the project was successful. State Secretary Kerber formulated on March 23: "Our paper was [...] very well received and will now find its way into the crisis cabinet of the federal government due to its high quality and prudence."
26/: The actual authors of the so-called "panic paper" are known, it is also known that Lothar Wieler did not actively write text-parts for that paper, only served as "consultant", investigative journalist @aya_velazquez found that out via @OttoKolbl.

https://t.co/2UYeHanToC
27/: It's of crucial importance that all parties involved @welt release all 200 pages of email communication concerning that matter:

@nhaerting, @antennedowideit, @Nabertronic.

No sense in #gatekeeping here, this is of great public interest & should be in the public domain.
28/: You can help by spreading the news and by sharing this thread to raise the pressure on the parties involved. Thank you for reading through this thread.
Add.a): Release the 200 pages #1:

@nhaerting-Please provide the 200 pages of the original document. This is a case of public interest.

Half a newspaper page does not do justice to the explosiveness of the material.

Please no gatekeeping on this topic!

Add.b): Rls the 200 pages #2:

@Nabertronic-Please provide the 200 pages of the original document. This is a case of public interest.

Half a newspaper page does not do justice to the explosiveness of the material.

“The War of the Worlds & Age of Extinction Cometh – The Transformers of MolBiol”

A comprehensive guide of the imagery found in this canvas is contained in this thread:


2/n Starting at the upper RH part of the image and moving from right to left, one first sees the “Three Witches of Molbiol” riding on a Trojan Horse. The three witches (ref: Macbeth) are depicted as enablers of the crisis via their mischief = misuse of molecular biology.


3/n Let us start with the arguably fake Prof. Drosten who heads the Charité Institute in Berlin. Drosten led work to develop a first PCR test protocol for SARS-CoV-2 published by @Eurosurveillanc in record time and promoted by WHO as a ‘gold standard’.


4/n Had Drosten done his work honestly and produced a test capable of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 entity, all might be well today, but he did not. His manifest scientific failings and problems with conflicts of interest are fully documented in here:

5/n Of course Drosten could not have carried off this piece of MolBiol sleight of hand all on his own. He needed accomplices & global support. A key European ‘witch’ was Dutch based @MarionKoopmans , a co-author of the Corman-Drosten scientific paper.

1/: The Nuremberg Code is a set of research ethics principles for human experimentation created as a result of the Nuremberg trials at the end of the Second World War. In light of the current events, they are more actual than ever before. ⬇️an important thread⬇️


2/: These so-called ‘Doctors’ Trial’ focused on physicians who conducted #inhumane and #unethical human experiments in German concentration camps, in addition to those who were involved in over 3,500,000 sterilizations of German citizens. (the picture shows doctors/criminals)


3/: Ten points of the code were given in the section of the verdict entitled "Permissible Medical Experiments". They can be found in detail on the following website:

4/: Point #1 means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, or deceit.


5/: Using an insufficiently-tested vaccine on humans is unethical. However, as long as people voluntarily consent to receive the vaccine, being informed about all risks, everything is OK. Doing this with force, however, is against the Nuremberg Code.

PROBIOTICS & VIT D: "The vitamin D receptor is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract where it transacts gene expression..These results support the underlying hypothesis that the human gut microbiome and vitamin D metabolism are integrally related"
https://t.co/15rVFa1fkk


"Men with higher levels of 1,25(OH)2D and higher activation ratios, but not 25(OH)D itself, are more likely to possess butyrate producing bacteria that are associated with better gut microbial health."

"Several studies suggest that gut microbiota alter intestinal vitamin D metabolism (VDM), and probiotic supplements can affect circulating vitamin D levels."

"Because the serum 25(OH)D correlates with overall vitamin D storage, it is the preferred clinical measure to assess vitamin D sufficiency."

"Clinically, serum 25(OH)D levels ≥20 ng/ml are considered adequate while 25(OH)D levels <20 ng/ml are defined as vitamin D deficiency."

Last week, Dr. Theresa Tam @CPHO_Canada & the Ontario Scientology table released their latest model that garnered criticism, ridicule, & shame at an international level. The now famous Covid Erection had risen 🍆📈

#Canada #Ontario #cdnpoli #onpoli #COVID19


The Covid Erection model predicted ~5000 cases by the end of February. Well, now that we’re at February’s end, Ontario recorded ~1250 cases. It would seem that the Covid Erection encountered some...ahem, erectile dysfunction 📉

#Canada #Ontario #cdnpoli #onpoli


Since the Covid Erection model had become flaccid, Dr. Tam @CPHO_Canada needed another story to continue the propaganda of fear; public health by dread & distress. So she came out today to say that Canada was experiencing 75X more cases than the spring peak

#Canada #cdnpoli


The spring peak in Canada had ~2000 cases. Today, Canada reported ~3000 cases. That would be 1.5X more cases, not 75X. Dr. Tam @CPHO_Canada just inflated the case counts by only 50X, or what we call here in Canada, by a Fisman

#Canada #cdnpoli #Ontario #onpoli #COVID19


Canada (& Ontario’s) public health officials & politicians have thoroughly embarrassed the discipline of public health & made mockery of the field of medicine. From the MDs fake crying in the news to the high school teachers pretending to be biostatisticians. We’ve become a joke.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.


Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna
