REPORT: High-Ranking Chinese Defector Working With DIA Has 'Direct Knowledge' of China's Bioweapons Program

Quote
Sources say DIA leadership kept the defector within their Clandestine Services network to prevent Langley and the State Department from accessing the person, whose existence was kept from other agencies because DIA leadership believes there are Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies,” according to the report.

Why was the defector so important that he had to be kept under wraps?

Housley says it’s because the defector has information on the origins of the Wuhan virus: “China is trying to produce variants that suggest it came from bats to cover up that coronavirus originally came from a lab.” He later clarified: “US intelligence has a Chinese defector with Wuhan info. AND China is trying to produce variants that suggest it came from bats to cover up that coronavirus originally came from a lab.”

I keep seeing this everytime the mempool goes empty. A huge jump of 1 sat transactions over a matter of seconds. Does anyone know why? Is it perhaps a organisation that has thousands of addresses full of dust or something?



I like that you are thinking of reasonable non-adversarial reason for this.  I immediately go to Roger Ver or someone attacking the network.

No I'm afraid I'm not that innocent, I've been around bitcoin too long for that. My first thought is of course foul play, but the way this jump is done each time is slightly different so thought maybe different organisations just doing some kind of coin management thing.


wouldn't it just be a bot that rebroadcasts some old, cheapo TX that got dropped out of the mempool way-back-when it filled up? It's watching the mempool and when empty rebraodcasts I'd guess.

... because of the Chinese genetically-engineered spike protein the sars-CoV2 virus RNA is unstable in the region coding the glycoprotein of the ACE2 receptor making it more susceptible to rapid mutation in that region of the RNA, then exposing it to evolutionary pressures in the human population of mRNA vaccinated that have a very specific response to that very same spike protein is going to put selective pressures on this virus towards an unknowable and potentially catastrophic outcome.

How does this translate to normal language?

Biodom says we're fine, some genetically-engineered mice in the 70's they fiddled with were dozy and too slow too keep up ... and that's probably just like what will happen with this genetically-engineered, human-adapted bioweapons virus released from the Chinese Communist lab 45 years later.

... or it could be Pandora's box was opened and whole-population vaccination is just prepping the tinder for the final conflagration.

That's not what I said at all, but if you don't want to listen, then it is on you.

here's the crux of what you said ...

This reminds me of a big scare with recombinant DNA tech in the seventies. People were afraid that modified bacteria (from the lab) will do us much harm in the wild, so procedures were designed to prevent it (contamination of environment by the lab strains). It turned out eventually that bacterial lab strains were not a match for much more efficient strains of the wild. There were a few papers written on the subject. If someone of you ever seen and compared a wild mice with a lab one-the lab one would not last a day in the wild...it is slow moving and inept.


 ... so which is it most like in your sliding scale of analogies? A "big scare" with recombinant DNA tech and modified bacteria in the 70's that never came to anything? A dozy lab mice that doesn't compare with wild one? You've adeptly dialled back the risks across a few "false equivalence" scenarios until you arrive at the we-shouldn't-worry-our-pretty-little-heads-about-it position re. the CCP bioweaopons viruses killing 3 million+ and mutating at enhanced rates.

... and oh yeah, some vague reference to Darwin backs all this up btw.

Unstable in some strange sense or prone to mutations?
Has a highly unlikely arrangement of electrical charges.

Sorensen said that four amino acids on the spike had a positive charge, which causes the virus to tightly cling to the negatively charged parts of a human, making the virus more infectious.

“The laws of physics mean that you cannot have four positively charged amino acids in a row. The only way you can get this is if you artificially manufacture it,”

Right now it does not matter (for viral evolution) how it came out to be-that's a different story.

... maybe you hope to wish this away but this statement has no scientific evidence or theory to back it up.

Virologists have messed with nature and let it be released onto humanity. Mother Nature is a bitch when it comes to payback on every other exhibition of hubris from scientists. Well shall see in due course if your belief that how the virus came to be in nature has no bearing on the final outcome, it seems to be basically an almost religious belief that scientists can't possibly fuck up catastrophically when it comes to human health. Good luck with that.

If even only a small fraction of immunized individuals can be infected and spread the virus with less severe disease manifestation (as can be inferred from recent data)19,20, these individuals are a primary potential source for more dangerous new variants (VOCs) of SARS-CoV2. If there is any significant asymptomatic infection of vaccinated individuals, continued immunization beyond vulnerable populations should stop immediately; otherwise, the list of VOCs will continue to grow unabated21.

...

In other words, immunizing healthy individuals to the spike protein of 2020 will challenge Mother Nature to find ways to change this protein to adapt to and escape the pressure from immunization. When this happens, it will be the weakest of the immunized who are put in danger all over again. The unknown origin and unique spike protein biology of the SARS-CoV2 must be better understood before continuing large scale immunization in healthy, non-vulnerable citizens.

3. It's different this time

The most notable aspect of this idea is we never really see a crypto "winter" in the cycle.  But instead we see a volatile climb upward.  Personally I would expect to see recurring pullbacks of diminishing magnitude. Of course things do not tend to be this perfect but we could see a 60%, then 50, then 40 series of pullbacks all making higher highs and lower lows.  Obviously, this is in the somewhat unprecedented "It's going up forever Laura" category.  It breaks a lot of fundamental rules about asset prices.
This would be a "It's different this time" that makes MUCH less sense than the supercycle.



... this would be a version of the logistic curve, or S-curve of technological adoption, theory for final adoptive phase. All other prior adoption waves will be dwarfed by comparison, in the same way as each adoptive wave has dwarfed the previous on linear scale charts, but the ultimate level plateaus near to full-adoption.

Super Cycle and S-curve are versions of the the same ultimate trajectory it looks like to me.

Overall, we have at least 3.46X wallets in 2021 than in late 2017, maybe much more than that (I am only going from blockchain.com numbers), yet the price is just 70% higher (at the moment).
Therefore, we are lagging the Metcalf's law and, therefore, are SEVERELY undervalued in comparison with 2017.

TLDR; according to Metcalf's law and prior "fair" valuation, fair value of bitcoin right now is $81K.

... the Metcalfe's law concept for the value of a monetary network reflected as bitcoin price in fiat that is related to the number of transactions or number of wallets is definitely interesting, and has worked well for Bitcoin in the early days when the network was small but growing exponentially fast.

... now I'm wondering if it Metcalfe needs to be tweaked to include a weighting to the value of transactions on the network, or value in wallets, rather simple numerical quantity of TX or wallets? The value of the phone network clearly increases as the number of users adopt the network but each user can make more or less or longer or shorter calls and doesn't really affect the total value of the network. Bitcoin is somewhat more like the electricity grid network where the size of the user, or generator, that connects to the network would have a bearing on the total value of the network different from simply number of users. E.g. if a large utility, or aluminum smelter, decided to abandon the electricity network that clearly has a bigger impact on total value of the network that some random Joe that goes off-grid but each represent a single user on the network.

A document written by Chinese scientists and Chinese public health officials in 2015 discussed the weaponisation of SARS coronavirus, reveals the Weekend Australian.

Titled The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons, the paper predicted that World War Three would be fought with biological weapons.

Released five years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it describes SARS coronaviruses as a “new era of genetic weapons” that can be “artificially manipulated into an emerging human ­disease virus, then weaponised and unleashed in a way never seen before”.

All the unnatural coronaviruses humans have been contracting since 2000 are results of genetic engineering as I contended at the outset of this pandemic. Only 2-3 natural coronaviruses have established true human transmissibilty in over 1 million years of human-viral co-evolution and now since genetic enginerring was developed we have seen 4 new human-transmissible coronaviruses in less than 30 years. The virologists are now more dangerous to humanity than any group on the planet. They possibly represent the great filter for our species.

To whom it may concern...!


"bitcoin can save us from hyperinflation and starvation"

And you seem all so concerned about inflation, but it's like aging, it's a slow process that does not impact all that much in your short journey on this Earth haha.

Let's be real, all idealistic ideas are perverted eventually in this world, bitcoin will save nothing, it's just another casino.

... so you're a cynical old pervet who believes the world can never change? ... kind of got that early on

... but you're totally wrong about inflation, especially hyperinflation, it absolutely ruins lives and leads to starvation and massive human suffering, so yeah keep supporting that to your eternal fire ... I wish my parents had me put my savings in gold (bitcoin wasn't around) when I was a kid

Every damn time, best reverse indicator ever. You should charge for this shit, bruh.

Nobel Prize-winning economist calls Bitcoin a ‘cult’

"There always seems to be a new crop of believers. Maybe just think of it as a cult that can survive indefinitely," Krugman said.

https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/nobel-prize-winning-economist-calls-bitcoin-a-cult/

... for a muppet sometimes he gets close to the mark, sounds a lot like the fiat-dollar central banking cult tbh  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

... what could be closer to a "cult" than the "Full Faith and Credit" of institutions that create money out of thin air at inconceivable rates? Always with a new crop of believers getting indoctrinated in the schools ...

... at least by wheeling out this relic for some wheezing FUD shows that the central banking fiat cult is worried and taking bitcoin seriously

... thing to remember about slimeball Musk is Tesla's accountants have booked their BTC as "intangible, indefinite-lived assets" which means they get to hold them on the books at the lowest marketed value ... e.g. like the new low printed shortly after Musk's manipulative tweeting
