"SICK LIES" New York Post goes after Fauci for his lies about dangerous virus research at the Wuhan institute of Virology. It's only going to get worse for these liars. (friend sent me this photo from a NY bodega.)

Crispest explanation for science communities defense of the market spillover: "If true this is very bad for all of virology research."

I've done the thing. I've spent the last 2 months researching the Epstein Files, specifically regarding the circumstances of his reported suicide. And now I believe the Epstein Files effectively prove Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.

The defence editor at @TheEconomist admits the 'beheaded babies' story he promoted, and which was widely used to justify Israel's atrocities against Palestine, was fraudulent. Are our journalist class just credulous little babies, or do they lie to order for Israel? #ItWasAScam

Hideki Kakeya, Dr.Eng.
Once, I asked a virologist at a national lab in Japan, "As an expert, you must have noticed the sequence looked engineered." He replied, "After the sequence was published, our colleagues were all upset, suspecting a lab leak. But we had to stay silent because of a gag order."

The number of journalists who only cared about censorship after Trump was sworn in who will report on this is exactly 0.

🚨🚨 We previously exposed the PubPeer “PubSmear” Network Mob's signature tactic: 'Working in coordination with fellow network members, they employ the mob’s signature tactic of the ‘PARTIAL TRUTH’ —selectively highlighting fragments of information to construct PUBPEER (aka ‘PUBSMEAR’) dossiers against the scientists they target. Along the way, many additional researchers become collateral damage, serving to conceal the network’s primary targets.' ⚠️ And their central distortion: 'Their central tactic is to falsely equate the number of PubPeer entries with the number of fraudulent papers upon which their harassment, smearing, and defamation campaigns stand — a deliberate distortion designed to mislead the academic community, media, and institutions.' 📌Now Nobel Laureate Thomas C. Südhof confirms the real damage in his Lindau 2025 lecture: 'The cost to especially junior scientists has been enormous... Does it matter if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it?' Every scientist, researcher, and postgraduate student needs to know about this scandal. What we’ve exposed is only the tip of the iceberg. Watch our 9-min bombshell + @NobelPrize Laureate @Stanford Professor Thomas C. Südhof's Lindau 2025 lecture segment below 👇 Watch it. Spread it. Far more is coming. Stay tuned. @SciGuardians 🔱

🚨BOMBSHELL SCIENCE INTEGRITY SCANDAL – 17 NOV 2025 Elisabeth M. Bik – the fake “science integrity consultant” who brags about >10,000 PubPeer comments – has spent years stalking, smearing, and destroying careers of researchers she targets. But dare post a single critical comment on HER papers or her inner-circle mob? 100 % CENSORED. 17 of her and her collaborators’ papers flagged → 17 comments instantly blocked. One slipped through on 23 Nov 2024 → ERASED after exactly 10 days (3 Dec 2024). The queen of PubSmear just got caught rigging the game to protect herself and her network. 9-minute total exposure with screenshots, DOIs, and receipts just dropped. Watch it. Spread it. The mask is shattered. #ElisabethBik #PubPeerScandal #PubSmear #Breaking #News #ScienceFraud #ScienceHypocrisy #ImageForensics @SciGuardians 🔱

Hideki Kakeya, Dr.Eng.
Of note, while many virologists admit the strong possibility of a lab origin of COVID-19 in candid conversations, those in the gain-of-function research camp continue to deny it in Japan as well. Money talks.
Hideki Kakeya, Dr.Eng.@hkakeya

The existence of the gag order was later confirmed by two other researchers at the same national lab. I've talked to several other virologists in Japan, all of whom believe in a lab origin of COVID. I can introduce them if you want to confirm it yourself. x.com/DopplerEffect9…

What did Kristian Andersen say that we're not supposed to hear?
Sigrid Bratlie@sigridbratlie

Transparency, accountability and freedom of information are among the most fundamental principles in academia, especially in a debate of significant public interest. It is therefore deeply disappointing that the University of Oslo (UiO) has spent months obstructing the release of a recording of the lecture Kristian Andersen gave about the origins of the pandemic in Oslo (organised by UiO) a year and a half ago in which he made serious allegations against me and others who have spoken out in this debate. Many who were present thought it problematic and perceived it as an attempt at intimidation. I want the recording made public so it can be subject to objective assessment and public scrutiny so I filed a freedom of information (FOIA) request. That was no easy task! UiO has searched high and low for legal grounds to deny access and avoid releasing the recording, cycling through a remarkable number of justifications: first, they argued it couldn’t be considered an official document. Then, they said it had to be protected as Andersen’s intellectual property (which is particularly ironic given that he was showing my media quotes on the screen). Next, they claimed it would be too burdensome to isolate the relevant parts of the video. And also that releasing parts of the recording would create a misleading impression. None of these arguments held up. The Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills gave me full support, in two separate appeal rounds. But the saga doesn’t end there. UiO is now attempting to circumvent the ruling. First they gave me a version of the video with a large watermark attempting to prohibit me from publishing it publicly. They have now removed it after yet another round of arguing. However, now they have redacted the video so that Andersen is cut out, claiming it is for privacy reasons. I have appealed again. It is frankly incomprehensible that an academic institution behaves this way. They have no legal basis for any of this. Either UiO’s lawyers are unable to grasp basic principles of freedom of information and privacy law — or this is a deliberate strategy to avoid accountability for something that reflects badly on the university. I strongly doubt it’s the former. But beyond the legal dimension: Andersen appeared in a public capacity, at a public event, which was already broadcast live online — and made public statements criticising named individuals and making statements that must be understood as claims and opinions in an ongoing public debate. Academics do not enjoy enhanced privacy protections compared to other public figures, and cannot retract or block others’ access to statements they have made publicly. The European Court of Human Rights has established in numerous cases that Article 8 (right to privacy) does not protect public figures’ public statements from documentation and dissemination- particularly when those statements concern other people. I should also mention that certain UiO employees have attempted to prevent me from speaking about the origins of the pandemic at other public events — by contacting organisers and asking them to remove me from the programme. This is completely unacceptable.

The issue isn’t that The Economist is biased; that’s a given. The issue is that it has convinced so many it is serious, authoritative journalism (through glossy design and the performance of British intellectualism that has no existence) when it is just another unremarkable paper
Drop Site@DropSiteNews

At Aspen, Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes laid out her vision for ‘the day after’: “Israeli security first and foremost,” followed by “some kind of autonomy” for Palestinians. But she made clear she shouldn’t be mistaken for someone calling for an equal Palestinian state. And said it should not be run by the PA but by a “less corrupt, more effective” body that manages “some form of self-government.”

Aham in particular is a riot. When he gets criticism after the book comes out he and West suddenly starts using they/them to refer to him in a transparently cynical bid to shame readers out of criticizing a non-binary, and when that didn’t work he pivots to “I support Palestine!”

My Lindy West take was that West was a victim of political manipulation (do poly or you’re basically a slaveholder) and it’s super funny seeing Aham now try that tactic on the public: how dare you reactive negatively to me demeaning a female journalist via email, I support Gaza!

Old enough to remember when public health "experts" were rushing to call everyone a murderer for pointing to science that found lockdowns would be harmful. And legacy media reporters religiously regurgitated these "experts'" falsehoods.
