In the back alleys of Twitter, you must fight fire with ... satire

Some readers may find my use of My Little Ponies(tm) a little immature, given the gravity of the pandemic. I am confident that once the full nature of the origin story is broadly understood, most people will be more likely to feel that my satire was too respectable.

Every few months I like to take a step back and give my non-Twitter subscribers a glimpse of what the war in the COVID-origin trenches looks like. In a war against propaganda & censorship, one must be creative when it comes to getting points across to ‘the masses,’ and it’s also important to not accept a false premise for your battleground.

The primary false premise at the moment is that The Science always has the public’s best interest at heart, and that public health officials can be trusted not to abuse blank checks when they are given them. I’d hate to say I told you so, but… I did warn everyone about this two years ago:

I can’t confirm that our current Congress is composed of soulless, blood-sucking leeches who feed off of innocent victims under the cover of darkness, but it’s clear that they managed to spend trillions of dollars in stimulus with little pause for reflection. And, now that I think about it, there’s a more obvious and understandable explanation: If I were a member of Congress, or almost any elected leader, the last thing I’d want to see is whatever was staring back at me in a mirror.

On the bright side, now that the hypothesis has been proven, it’s time to roll out the 1 weapon bureaucratic vampires despise most:

I admit, the weight of the evidence that I’ve been digging up lately has made me less concerned about the feelings of “The Science.” I’ve heard from a trustworthy source that some implicated scientists still feel confident that they will escape accountability, but my personal recommendation for them would be stop spending so much time counting chickens before they hatch. I'm done with Christmases like this:

On a better note, I've managed to achieve a level of notoriety that only I can probably appreciate - or discover - as I recently found references to myself in a collection of FOIA documents. What makes me happiest is that the mention was of my very first Substack article, when I literally had 5 subscribers. It’s good to know someone was paying attention back then:

I discovered that I'm "FOIA Official"™️ I found a mention of my Substack inside an NIH FOIA release from 6/17/22 Somehow, Vinu had found my 1st article on the 2/3 teleconf @jjcouey @EthicalSkeptic @quay_dr @Jikkyleaks @alykhansatchu @Daoyu15 @alexandrosM dropbox.com/s/jw8g79as6z3t…

This is probably my best remake of another meme. I don't have a good reason, but it was fun to make:

Last week, my friend Arkmedic was banned from Twitter, perhaps not for the first time. Given his efforts on the same general HIV-SARS-CoV-2 nexus, I am eager to have him back in the fight against NIMH [the National Institute of Malfeasance {Hippocratic}].*

*Jikky’s avatar on Twitter was a mouse, for those who are attempting to piece together the logic of using The Secret of NIMH as a meme. However, I’d also throw out that attempting to find logic in my humor may be frustrating to anyone of sound mind.

More and more, I’m starting to feel like DRASTIC is a read-world version of The Watchmen - a fractious band of ~merry gentlepersons working to solve a mystery and save mankind from total annihilation:

There’s one exception, however - I don’t want this movie to have the same ending.

Later, while working on placing Dr. Fauci into the well-known Captain Picard meme, his outstretched hand inspired the inclusion of a pair of dice, which [naturally] led to Doc Holliday from Tombstone and the idea of his famous gambling scene as a background. The only real difference is that what scientists have been gambling with the most is our lives, not our taxes:

This one is ‘vintage,’ but still relevant. I call it “No Shrugging for this Atlas:”

Angela Rasmussen is a virologist who was at Columbia University in New York City when the pandemic began. Her only ‘real’ ‘contribution’ to the origin debate was a hit piece somehow published by the world’s top journal, Nature, in which she referred to scientists who questioned the natural origin hypothesis as conspiracy theorists. After she attacked Jeffrey Sachs [below] for writing a peer-reviewed article that questioned the hypothesis - in May of 2022, not 2020 - I decided to rev up the meme machine once again:

“TWiT” is a play on TWiV, or This Week in Virology, which is a YouTube video series run by Vincent Racaniello, in whose department Rasmussen used to reside.

After Rasmussen tweeted about my art work, I decided to a tribute in the manner of the V for Vendetta speech in which the eponymous hero introduces himself mostly with words that start with ‘V:’

Sadly, she never commented on my response:

I don’t want my readers to think that I’m completely jaded, though. In my spare time, I’m practicing for my next life goal - becoming a rock star:

I thought about posting the video that this screenshot was taken from, but I can assure you that wouldn’t have been enjoyable for anyone. You’re welcome.

Back to the grindstone…
