The most important video you'll watch all year. #Ukraine has 1-26 #BioLabs under US influence. Media mocked this as fiction for weeks, but now that's proved a lie, we're 100% sure any attack would be the Russians, because "they do false flags, we don't."
So who is Victoria Nuland? In January of 2021, left-leaning Salon had these words of caution in an article titled "Who is Victoria Nuland? A really bad idea as a key player in Biden's foreign policy team".
Nuland was a central figure in the 2014 Maidan Coup (at the time labeled a popular uprising). Even Henry Kissinger was aghast at the US's obvious involvement and lack of policy. This coup led helped some pretty bad dudes take control in Ukrainian gov.

Also, hello John McStain.

Everybody knows that the #COVID19 #pandemic true toll FAR exceeds official numbers -- but by how much?

2/ Officially some 5 million people worldwide have died of #COVID19 -- a figure that reflects govts' approved reports. Folks @TheEconomist reckon the true toll is closer to 18 million, possibly >22M. In Seattle @IHME puts it around 13M, maybe as high as 17M.

3/ Depending on which reckonings one accepts for #COVID19 deaths so far, here's how our #pandemic stacks up against the major #flu pandemics.
(Note: Even the highest estimates still don't put COVID on a par with 14th C #Plague or HIV/AIDS -- yet.)

Let's discuss point by point. How many of u learned of the detailed account of how much was looted during #BritishRaj ? Look how #Hindus were made to suffer. From a surplus country with all the riches in the world to the daily average per capita income of 5pices/2 1/2 cents...1/n Image

#ConversionMafia propagates, "if British didn't rule India, then there's no India at all." #SleepingHindus fall for such false information and become an easy prey, as they don't know what actually happened.

If the levied tax on land is 65% more than the produce, how Image

will farmers survive?
Our #Hindu rulers used to provide almost free education to all the people in their Kingdoms. Look at how much #Britishers spent on Indians education. They never cared about our sanitation, but all they cared was our army, spent whooping 330 millions Image

We’ve all been to the #Charminar ,but many don’t know that apart from being the foundation of Hyd,it has designs of pineapples/squirrels in it, and also a mosque on the 2nd floor,which today is inaccessible. A thread on our city's most imp monument (pic is of mosque) #History Image
In 1591, Mohd Quli Qutb Shah, the 5th king of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, decided to move out of the Golconda fort and build a new city outside. That city was to be Hyderabad, the foundational monument for which is the Charminar. #Hyderabad #History #Charminar
We've all heard of the story of Bhagmati that’s associated with Hyderabad's foundational history (will post on it in a separate thread later, please don’t discuss here), but not many know that the city also has a story of a (bubonic) plague at its very roots, and #History

@nytimes has published 2 really good articles about the #coronavirus #CONVID19 regarding the origins & timeline of the virus & the likelihood that it started earlier than most people thought.

1-nytimes.com/2020/04/22/us/…

2-nytimes.com/2020/04/23/us/…
On Apr. 21, 2020 @nytimes published this article with a timeline of the #coronavirus #COVID19. The only problem is, like most reporting in the #US so far, it does not go back far enough. It starts with Dec 31st.

nytimes.com/article/corona…
Some reporters are starting to look farther back in Dec. for the #coronavirus timeline, but that may not be far enough back. @nytimes needs to coordinate their investigative journalism & broaden the research criteria to at least Nov. starting in-house...

I know shit is bad. It's going to get worse, before it gets better. We know that. MUCH WORSE. We are going to have to accept that many of our friends and relatives won't make it through this shit show. We need to bite the bullet and make sure we #KEEPITSHUTDOWN #GeneralStrike2020

Here's my prediction. Young people will rapidly figure out that only old people are dying, and will proceed to get on with their lives. This will cause more old people to die, but #boomerremover peaked because young people with hard lives are incredibly ruthless, and they're poor
The "ruthless little bastards" model works like this: young people go to work, go to parties, get drunk and have fun. Middle aged people kick their kids out of the house, so they don't get infected, and then pass it to grandma. Grandma eventually gets it anyway, because #plague.
We'll get like two months, at most, of compliance, and then the young are going to sod the old, and - much as I don't like to say this - it'll be driven by the same inexorable Will to Live that let Cambodia recover from having 20% of their total population killed by Khmer Rouge.

«مروری بر بازی استراتژیک #پلاگو (#Plague
سال 1392 در حوزه‌ی بررسی #بازی‌های_استراتژیک، یک بازی رو بررسی می‌کردیم به نام Plague.
اینطور بود که باید یک عامل #بیولوژیک بسازید و از یک کشور انتشارش بدید تا نهایتاً تمام انسان‌های جهان رو از بین ببره.
(ادامه)
#ريتوييت Image
در طول بازی امکان #جهش_عامل وجود داشت و بر اساس اینکه عامل به چه کشوری، با چه سطحی از پیشرفت زیرساخت‌های شهری، موقعیت جغرافیایی، زیست‌بوم طبیعی، تراکم جمعیت و ... انتقال پیدا می‌کرد؛ باید جهش متناسب رو برای سازگاری عامل بیولوژیک انجام می‌دادید.
(ادامه) Image
در طول بازی هر رخدادی به‌عنوان یک #خبر به شما اعلام می‌شد. مثلاً:
- اولین ابتلا در فلان کشور
- تعداد فوتی‌ها در فلان کشور
- بسته شدن مرزها، فرودگاه‌ها و ... در فلان کشور
- آشوب در فلان کشور
- سقوط حکومت فلان کشور
- بیشتر شدن تعداد فوتی‌ها از کشته‌های فلان بیماری

THREAD on why the new @AfterThePlague1 PNAS paper on sixth-century #plague in Britain is so important, and why we need to pay more attention to the plague in discussions of the early medieval world #medievaltwitter pnas.org/content/early/… 1/10
The reach of the First Pandemic (or Justinianic plague) was massive. First recorded in Egypt in 541AD, it spread rapidly to Byzantium, and then further west, reaching Gaul in 543AD, and Ireland in 544AD. We now know that it reached Britain at the same time too 2/10
In addition to the new evidence from Britain, Y. pestis DNA has also been found in several cemeteries in Bavaria, where there are also no historical records of pestilence. This means that we’re probably seriously underestimating just how much of Europe was affected! 3/10
