👉 Conclusions:

👉These findings suggest that 👉SARS-CoV-2 may have been introduced into the 🇺🇸 👉prior to January 19, 2020‼️

👉 2016 👉 PULITZER ‼️
“We identified a main interaction between the aa 381–386 of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein and the aa 189–192 of the extracellular domain of the nAChR α9 subunit, a region which forms the core of the “toxin-binding site” of the nAChRs.” https://t.co/K3D54PiPFO
“This would establish the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 disrupts the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and causes a variety of clinical manifestations by interacting with nAChRs.”
SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 Spikes can interact with the human α7 nAChR.

SARS-CoV-2 through nAChRs may dysregulate the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 Spike with nAChRs is due to a “toxin-like” sequence. https://t.co/oVGkoKIPKp
👉 “Therefore, our findings demonstrated that smoking or vaping may critically exacerbate COVID-19-related inflammation or increase susceptibility to COVID-19.” 👇 https://t.co/96DvISapjp
👉 https://t.co/YZvHKMyzVl
👉 “Interestingly, THC seems to have the opposite effect, it appears to increase the response of the α7 nicotinic receptor to ACh by a 128% (pvalue=0.44).” 👇https://t.co/mDEP0XZg8r
“Colorado and Ohio banned vitamin E acetate, which is sometimes used as a thickening agent or to dilute THC oil in vape cartridges to make it go further. “ https://t.co/Kdfp6cW7Di 👉 THC was the factor responsible for the susceptibility to Covid-19, not vitamin e acetate‼️
nAChR subunit genes (α2–α3, α5–α7, α9–α10, β3–β4). All nAChR subtypes are activated by nicotine (with the exception of α9 and α9α10 nAChRs, which are blocked by nicotine). https://t.co/V5Zuymp8fg
“NAChRs are responsible for mediating cholinergic neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction of striated muscles, in the autonomous peripheral ganglia and at several sites in the central nervous system.”
“12 neuronal nAChRs subunits have been identified, of these nine are α (α2 to α10) and three β (β2 to β4). Neuronal nAChRs will have distinct pharmacological and physiological properties resulting from the combination of different subunits.”
“The α10 subunit is only incorporated into a functional nAChR when co-expressed with α9. Homomeric receptors are formed by α7, α8 and α9 subunits. At least two binding sites have to be occupied for a maximal activation of nAChR.”
“nicotinic receptors go against this convention: a prolonged exposure to an agonist produces an up-regulation, with an increase in the density of nicotine binding sites in the brain tissue.”
“The α7 subunit is expressed in both para- & sympathetic neurons innervating the heart, whereby they contribute to the negative chronotropic effects, resulting in decrease in the heart rate.”
“There is growing evidence that activation of nAChRs via acetylcholine 1 can modulate some cellular functions outside the synaptic transmission in the central and peripheral nervous system.”
“NAChRs, which were expressed in non-neuronal cells, have been found to be responsible for: cell lung carcinoma, respiratory disease, asthma, chronic bronchitis, tumours, skin aging, arteriosclerosis, megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome and Chron’s disease.”
“Stimulation of this nAChRs subtype (α7 receptors) determines a Ca2+ influx that triggers a wide range of processes, including an increase of neurotrophic factors in the brain.”
“high propensity of the SARS-CoV-2 S TCRVβ-binding site residues potentially elicit an SAg-like response.”

“the RBD (...) interact with TCRs.”

“the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.” https://t.co/zqGd8m28mM
“T cells from unexposed individuals also respond to S protein epitopes from SARS-CoV-2.”

“possible that a poor initial antibody response to the virus fails to neutralize the SAg, as recently shown in MIS-C patients, leading to immune enhancement following reexposure.”
“Certain HLA types are more permissive of binding SAg, and, indeed, HLA has been shown to play a role in COVID-19 susceptibility.”

“potential genetic component to susceptibility.”
“approximately 1/3 or fewer of MIS-C patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, but the majority (but not all) had serologic evidence of infection or a history of exposure to COVID-19.”
“SAgs have been implicated in autoimmunity by triggering self-reactive T cells. Antibody-mediated enhancement (ADE) upon reexposure to the virus may also contribute to uncontrolled infection and inflammation.”

Can I get my Pulitzer now ❓
“despite a negative nasopharyngeal PCR test, the virus may still be present in the GI tract.”

Latency ❓ Pulitzer ❓
“a neurotoxin-like segment (T299 to Y351) partially overlapping with the RBD exhibited a ⬆️ affinity to bind TCRs. Notably, this region was recently observed to elicit strong & frequent T cell reactivity mediated by CD4+ T cells in donors who have not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2.”
“TCRVβ skewing is associated with a reduction of naive CD8+ T cells & an expansion of effector CD4+ & CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood - disturbed CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio, reduction in naive CD8+ T cells, expansion of effector CD8+ T cells & an increase in activated CD8+ T cells.”

Bhoga Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple
#Devarayanadurga
#Karnatakatemples 🚩

Bhoga Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple, Devarayanadurga is located near Tumkur of Karnataka. There are two temples are here for Narasimha Swamy, one is at the base of the hill which is Bhoga Narasimhar and 👇


the other on the top of  hill which is Yoga Narasimhar.

Bhoga Narasimha swamy Temple Prathista is said to be done by Maharshi Durvasa who did tapasya here. While doing tapasya Muni wished to bath in river Ganga and decided to travel to Ganga river bank,


At that time Ganga Devi appeared here and said she will remain here in the temple pond.

Yoga Narasimha swamy Prathista is believed to be done by Bhrama Deva who did tapasya here for many years.


Narasimhar appeared with Lakshmi Devi here to give darshan to Bhrama Deva here.

उग्रं वीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखम्।
नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्युमृत्युं नमाम्यहम् ॥

Om Shri Narasimha Murthaye Namah

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?

I am reading through reams of late-1920s communist poetry and easily my favourite title so far is: "To a Lady who Rejected a Poem about Spring as a Petit-Bourgeois Deviation"

The last lines:
"So here's my hat into the air,
Three cheers for your amazing hair,
For coal mines, and for turbines, too,
For steel, the Comintern and you!"

A not exactly graceful (though possibly satirical) title: "Lines Disassociating Myself from Yessenin and Supporting the Otherwise Unfounded Legend that I am a Foremost Proletarian Writer"

An excerpt:
"Goodbye verses of Yessenin
Goodbye literary slop-
You are not the line of Lenin
You are not the line of WAPP

Never shall I moan a
simple lyric from the heart
I'll devote my new corona
to the proletarian art"

The poet was Joseph Freeman, who published much of his revolutionary verse in the New Masses, a stylish journal of the interwar American literary Left.

1. “Who Are Ireland’s Members Of The World Economic Forum Implementing The Great Reset In 2021 ? 🧵1/28

🕵️🔎 Politicians, Musicians, Clergy, Bankers, Journalists, Human Rights, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, Corporations & Agriculture


2. In previous threads I have looked at 🇮🇪 key players in the Trilateral Commission as well as 🇮🇪 people who have attended the Bilderberger meetings. I also looked at the 🇮🇪 in the Young Global Leaders which is a site run by the WEF. You will see a lot of crossover between them.

3. The purpose of this thread is to compile all the Irish members into one thread for ease of access and reading rather than having to dive through the WEF site. This is by no means definitive and I will be adding more over time when they pop out of the woodwork.

4. Ireland’s WEF members are drawn from all walks of life but can be split into 2 separate areas. The WEF calls the first category “people” and the 2nd one “agenda contributors”. In total Ireland has a minimum of 61 members. Some of the names will be familiar and others will not

5. In this thread I’m just going to concentrate on the 21 people (there are probably a lot more). There are also 40 “agenda contributors” which I will cover in a separate thread. The agenda contributors are those who write articles or do research for the WEF site.

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.
