What Does "Novel" Really Mean?
Robin Monotti

Robin's comment and questions on the 2015 paper by Menachery, Yount & Baric.

I work with language, namely I worked on academic papers for many years as University lecturer and researcher. I have an MA in History and Theory, and attended several years of a language based PhD. I am a published translator. I work with film scripts on a daily basis, including writing them. Therefore I am experienced with words. This analysis is word based, not science based. I believe words are shared across professions, therefore people who work with words like me are more than legitimized in asking questions of the words used by scientists for whom words come generally after experiments are allegedly conducted, like in the case below. These are my language based questions. I believe language is used to both reveal and conceal:

The paper claims that the bat CoVs were "circulating". Does this mean they were already circulating in humans? Circulating to me means not new: not novel.

Then it mentions they built a "chimeric" virus. Chimeric, from the word chimera, means a virus that contains at least two different parts of different viruses. Essentially the circulating virus is mixed with another part of a circulating virus, in this case, is it a part of the HIV virus mentioned in the context of "pseudotyping"? Does this make it a "novel" virus given both parts were in circulation? The paper claims not a novel virus, but a "novel, zoonotic" CoV spike protein. If the spike protein in question is novel, then how can it be zoonotic already?

Zoonotic means already present in another species. This opens up the question of time: when does the virus jump species as claimed? Could it have been thousands of years ago? In which case "novel" and "zoonotic" are contradictions?

The specific bat virus used as a base is mentioned and named: RsSHCO14, isolated from Chinese horseshoe bats.

The part added is described as an HIV-based pseudovirus?

Note that the government funding via USAID & EcoHealth Alliance to "Z.-L.S." was initially omitted. Are these not the initials of Zhengli-Li Shi at Wuhan Lab?

Was the funding originally omitted from the paper reinstated because gain of function was banned within US territory so they had to cover themselves and say it was done in Wuhan?

Please note that where the "chimeric" virus was assembled is NOT necessarily the same thing as where the virus was released. Both may be untrue, but please do not confuse the claim the virus was assembled in Wuhan with the claim the virus was released in Wuhan. Both maybe false, or one may be true and one false, or both maybe true.

I generally believe reality to be more complex than: all is a lie, or all is true.

I appreciate this because apart from Mike, Dr Simon, Vigilant Fox, and few others, none of the "Superstar" doctors are giving me the credit of speaking out long before they woke up.

When I talk to some of these doctors privately, they talk down at me, even if I said the Covid19 "vaccine" was not going to be safe long before they did: back in 2020 long before it was even in circulation, and I began work on The Book of Vision in 2017.

The "Superstar" doctors woke up in 2021, 2022, some 2023.

But they still talk down at me.. 🤷‍♂️

Will they ever really learn..?

There are no facts, only interpretations | by Daniel Hill | Towards Data Science (2020)

“There are no facts, only interpretations”, according to Nietzsche anyway. That may seem odd: data, with its apparent precision, structure, and clarity, may seem the very definition of objective certainty, but that’s an illusion. The reality is that data is always a subjective and imperfect expression of how the people who collected it view the world.

The Coronavirus outbreak has proved an excellent case in point."

Language as a Path to Freedom
Robin Monotti

The route to make scientists accountable to all of us, not only to a few other scientists, is through language, not science. The same applies to doctors.

Always question the words they use not from the point of view of science and medicine, but from the point of view of the meaning of the words used in their language. Question that meaning. Point out the inconsistencies. They are there throughout the language they use.

This is more effective than saying: my science is better than yours or my medicine is better than yours.

When I say Freedom Follows Culture, I also mean language as the shared building block of our culture. Use it and challenge it.

Where they obfuscate with discipline specific terminology to gain authority over you, question the meaning of those terms, then question the answers.

Regain control of language when facing assumed "authority" in science or medicine.

George Bernard Shaw
Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 - 1950)

(via Dr Clare Craig)

I'm not someone, who knows a lot about the bible.
But I am still stunned, when I think about the many times of "Do not fear!" is mentioned there.
When you fear, you cannot think properly.
You fall for the fearmonger.
This is, why we should always be very suspicious, when someone is trying, to make us afraid of something.
People, who mean well, are encouraging us.
Not making us fearful.

Do Not Fear.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

In Dune, Frank was trying to explain to us how the world works.

David Clews:

There is a war in Sudan right now.

Why aren't people taking sides in that and putting up flags etc?

Because they will only do it if the media tells them to!

The next "emergency" alert, folks in 🇬🇧, will be used to announce the next lockdown. It will be linked to a bogus attack from Russia, bogus nuclear fall-out from Ukraine, or something of sorts. What else could it be for?

Covid: No evidence shielding helped vulnerable people, Swansea University study says - Wales Online

"It found that deaths and healthcare usage were higher among those who were shielding than the general population. The Welsh Government said that shielding was introduced on medical and scientific advice and that it will continue to review evidence from the pandemic.
The rate of coronavirus was also found to be higher among those shielding, at 5.9% compared to 5.7%, according to the study."

Spanish Bishop: Behind Agenda 2030 lies an attempt to change civilisation, a new world order that will change people’s beliefs

In an op-ed published by El diario Montañés on 15 April, Bishop Manuel Sánchez Monge of Santander, Spain, criticised “sustainable development” and its aims as codified by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”). “Behind Agenda 2030 lies an attempt to change civilisation, a new world order that will change the beliefs of individuals.…

Brazil's President says the EU only wants war, weapons, and NATO expansion, while BRICS nations want a peaceful resolution:

"How can we achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine if no one is talking about peace? Everyone is talking about war, talking about providing weapons to assist Ukraine, or NATO expansion eastward to Russia's border. Therefore, we must find those countries that seek peace.

China wants peace. Brazil wants peace. Indonesia wants peace. India wants peace. So, let's bring these countries together and make a peace proposal for Ukraine. I used to trust the EU because it has always played an important role as a balancing force and has never directly participated in wars.

However, the EU is directly involved in this conflict. When German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Brazil, and asked Brazil to sell missiles to the EU to help Ukraine, I told him 'no' because Brazil does not want to be involved in the war and hopes for peace."
