1. Woke up this afternoon to see countless Liberal Bourgeois around the world getting their knickers in a twist about what USA has been promoting in other countries around the world for generations, and insulting the great tradition of Historical Anarchism while they are at it.
This has nothing to do with Anarchism of course, which is a completely rational philosophical & political movement (despite worthy yet sometimes misguided actions of certain brave acolytes over the years)
You can argue until the cows come home about US involvement in regime change, military juntas and coups, even the ones supported by the NY Times, for example

That’s a remarkable number. It includes 66 covert operations and six overt ones.

1. Thread: RaTG13 Real or Fake?
A Norwegian Scientist @Vehuardo recently claimed RaTG13 is an "authentic virus"
https://t.co/tAXMNTwdhA
This failed to take into account the work of our DRASTIC colleagues & other published analyses.
This thread is a polite attempt to educate.

which says RaTG13 doesn't make sense on how it was sequenced, or how the data got so messed up in the lab as to include copy paste mistakes, bat dna, pangolin dna, rice dna, mice dna, & nobody should use it to form conclusions until it's properly vetted
2 (cont)
"sequence is incomplete & provided segment doesn't function. The identified markers suggest partial match basis & actual virus itself as described by the sequence can't functionally exist due to incoherent structures that appear to be the result of sample contamination"

The $1.25 billion facility is a biosafety level-4 laboratory and will replace the aging Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
NBAF is expected to be operational by 2022-2023.
Manhattan, Kansas, was selected as the location for NBAF.
