In this chilling 2013 interview, @BorisJohnson admits he’s not really bumbling
“I’m hard as nails” he says
He also tells us “a terrible truth about politics & human nature”
That you can “make a good case for any course of action.” #HerdImmunity #COVID19 https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1276993242010173440

When the subject moves to ethics, @BorisJohnson becomes more guarded
Asked whether he believes one "can derive the ethics from the science" he avoids answering
Perhaps he’s aware that discussions of genomics can easily slip into the subject of eugenics.

I know!
Most of us switch-off at the mention of “genomics”, but it is crucial to understanding how the world is transforming & how “super forecasters” see the need for society to transform too

offers a potted summary of just some of what is going on. #GenomeUK https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1310729079419736066

In Sept, the UK launched a ten-year strategy, #GenomeUK, which will transform the NHS & put genomics at the heart of the PM’s programme for govt
It was launched quietly (on a Saturday!) & received no media coverage
It appears Peter Thiel’s #Palantir, may have a central role

So many major stories aren’t being covered
Last June, I even started to make a list for journalists
In the 9 months since, I’ve share dozens more
Apart from #TakeItOnTheChin (5/3/20), #CareHomeScandal (13/5/20), & #GreenwichSpeech
(17/4/20), none of these stories got pick-up https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1271715583978090497

“They cover up crime with scandal & cover up malice with incompetence. They want to project an image of being inept, instead of as having a cruel & well-defined plan”
@sarahkendzior describes it as a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as govt. https://twitter.com/sarahkendzior/status/1240359747150364672?s=21

Genomics has huge benefits
Most genome editing is limited to somatic cells & affect only certain tissues & aren't passed from one generation to the next
But germline genome editing could pass changes to future generations & reshape humans & our society

Palantir, who rptdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica about data scraping, are in charge of the #COVID Data Stores in the UK together with #FacultyAI the firm #Cummings used for the #VoteLeave referendum campaign
We know from his blog that Cummings sees genomics as key to development. https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1378998197641691138

The NHS is Britain’s most trusted ‘brand’
#CambridgeAnalytica is the least trusted
And yet, #Palantir & #FacultyAI - companies with links to #CambridgeAnalytica - run the NHS digital platform & have access all our health data, including genetic material
And is not just UK data https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1330491530117853184

In July, Jonathan Powell, Blair’s ex-Chief of Staff, warned:
“This looks like the beginning of a rolling coup. It starts with the civil service then moves on to the judiciary & the media”
Culture war is stirred & steered
The scale & the speed of what’s going on is breathtaking https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1377017456695332866

In autumn, a 5-part drama about the #COVID19 pandemic will air
Directed by Michael Winterbottom,
This Sceptred Isle, will hopefully expose some of the truths about the #HerdImmunityScandal, #PalantirPlan & #GenomeUK
I’ve been in touch with their production team since last year

I’m not a scientist
On 5 March 2020, I knew little about virology, genetics or genomics
But I then unearthed @BorisJohnson’s #TakeItOnTheChin comments
They led me to the #GreenwichSpeech, the #HerdImmunityScandal, #PalantirPlan. #GenomeUK etc
I’ve just been joining the dots https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1330489040387366914

We know Big Tech mines & sells our data
But the new frontier lies not in our consumer behaviour, but in our biological selves
It’s not surprising that such a project should be ‘top secret’ & overseen intelligence services
Amnesty have raised human rights concerns over Palantir https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1252354324136521736
