New information revealed about the case of Assadollah Assadi, Iran’s incarcerated diplomat-terrorist, suggests the mullahs’ network of espionage and terrorism is much wider in Europe than it appears. Thus, European officials should immediately act.#ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies

2⃣
Assadi was arrested in July 2018 after delivering a bomb to a terrorist couple,Nasimeh Na’ami &Amir Saadouni, in Luxembourg and tasking them to plant the bomb in the “Free Iran” gathering of the Iranian opposition in Villepinte, north of Paris,France.

Germany’s police arrested Assadi on July 1 before he could enter Austria,where he served as D 3rd secretary of #Iran’s embassy.The German authorities found a notebook in Assadi’s car with important information about D 2018 bombing plot&money he had given to different Iranians.
4⃣
According to the Deutsche Welle Farsi, the German Federal Criminal Court (BKA) is investigating Assadi’s activities on a mission from the German Attorney General.

5⃣
The question is: Has Assadi commanded a large network of people tasked with different missions, including collecting news and espionage, in several European countries?

6⃣
For example, one of the notes refers to the Islamic Center of Hamburg as a touristic place.
The BKA recognizes this center as one of the regime’s espionage and export of fundamentalism centers.

7⃣
The information in his notebook suggests Assadi had 144 visits to Germany. Now the German authorities wonder why Assadollah Assadi travelled to Germany so much. Could he have met members of his network?

8⃣
Another issue that caught the attention of the police is that Assadi had several receipts with him, indicating cash payments he made to some people. Recipients’ identities have not yet been determined, since they have used common Iranian names.
#ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies
9⃣
For example, one of these individuals received 2500 Euros, another 5000 Euros and another person confirmed the receipt of a laptop. According to Deutsche Welle, the BKA authorities deduce that these payments could be the salaries of the regime’s agents.

Na’ami and Saadouni and another agent arrested regarding the 2018 bombing plot, Mehrdad Arefani, had received hundreds of thousands of euros.

1⃣1⃣
Acco. to D Belgian prosecutors’ indictment,during D last meeting between Assadi&the couple on June 28,2018 in Luxembourg,Na’ami received bomb, a new SIM card, &180,000 e. On June 26,19,000 e was wired to couple’s account to cover Ddown payment of a 54,000-euro Mercedes car
1⃣2⃣
Arefani made 62 cash deposits in 2017 and 2018, with a total of 28,409.50 Euros, into his accounts. He deposited small amounts from various branches of the bank so as not to raise suspicion.
#ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies #NoImpunity4Mullahs
@eu_eeas @JosepBorrellF
1⃣3⃣
During the trial for Assadi and his accomplices on November 27 and December 3, the Belgian prosecutors revealed the three terrorists who worked with Assadi, despite having modest salaries, had made more than 100,000 euros in cash deposits to their various bank accounts.
1⃣4⃣
Na’ami had 120,000 e in her bank account&35,000 e in cash at her home. Aco. to Belgian auth. Na’ami&Saadouni received at least 66,000 e from MOIS every year since 2010. Na’ami received35,000 e in cash from Assadi&stashed it in her home a few days before foiled bombing plot.
1⃣5⃣
The new evidence and the “wealth of evidence” found in Assadi’s car and the terrorists’ houses in Belgium suggest that the mullahs in Tehran waste national wealth on terrorism.

@eu_eeas @JosepBorrellF @BelgiumMFA
1⃣6⃣
The evidence also shows how the regime used the European Union’s inaction to create and lead a large network of spies and terrorists across Europe.

@eu_eeas @JosepBorrellF @GermanyDiplo @BelgiumMFA @francediplo_EN
1⃣7⃣
The 2018 foiled bomb plot and Iran’s dismantled terrorist sleeper cell are just an example of how extensive the regime’s network in Europe is. In other words, the foiled bomb plot, despite its importance, is only the tip of the iceberg.#ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies @eu_eeas
1⃣8⃣
As long as the regime has its embassies and so-called cultural centers remain open, and its officials are able to travel to Europe, the regime will maintain its network of terrorism and espionage in Europe.

#EU leaders should expel the regime’s agents, close its embassies and the so-called cultural centers, and ban the entry of all Iranian officials to Europe for their role in terrorism.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time! https://t.co/xPMGL36VGy


So today, I am going to quickly talk about 4 or 5 countries where you can get residence visas.

Why residence visas?

For starters, they are cheaper, FAR CHEAPER than passports, and offer almost all the benefits, not not, but a large swathe of them.

Second, residencies can be...

a pathway to citizenship.

In one or two of the countries I will talk about tonight, if you renew your residencies long enough, and fulfill all requirements, according to their law, which differs from country to country, you become eligible to apply for full citizenship.

So...

you can see why they are good enough?

Cool. Alright, let's begin.

The first country is

1. Barbados

Yes, @Rihanna's country.

The first thing I love about it is it's fully black, majority descendants of ex-slaves of Igbo extraction.

That's why they refer to their country...

Barbados last year officially launched its 12-month Barbados Welcome Stamp, a new visa that allows remote workers to live and work from the Caribbean country for up to a year.

Applicants must electronically submit documents, such as a copy of their international passport and...

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
