This is a good article that makes valid points. However, I would really like academics to cite the entire history of experimentation and harm to the Black body beyond the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. 1/

Our community collectively witnesses racial disparities in health research and care and are collectively re-traumatized by them. As we speak, we see the contrast between #COVID19 outcomes like this 3/: https://t.co/qCMtPS1zPc
And #COVID19 outcomes like this 4/: https://t.co/9HZ0wrx9fr
Gaining the trust of our community requires more than racial parity in medical and research personnel and increasing opportunities for African American researchers. The misdiagnoses, the lack of support, and harm to Black autistic people and their families are lifelong. 5/
This is also a painful reminder that Tuskegee Institute built a factory to reproduce HeLa cells. the cells originating from Henrietta Lacks. So racial parity of researchers is not always a positive or safe thing. 6/
We are only now facing the horror of dead slaves used to train doctors. Experimented on in life and used in death 7/: https://t.co/y2gxlFMMWF
Let us not simplify the issue of Black community mistrust. 400 years of abuse and this continues today. In the history of autism, there are pages like the life of Blind Tom Wiggins, kept enslaved long after emancipation in order to enrich a yt woman by tricking his mother. 7/
Yes, racial parity and opportunities for Black researchers are needed. But the race of the researcher doesn't matter if #AutisticWhileBlack people are treated as dehumanized research subjects. 8/
An attitudinal change is required and that may take years. 9/

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War

A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.


SolarWinds Hack

A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!

SunGard + SolarWinds

SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.

SunGard Data Center

In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.


If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.
