Protests in Sudan have continued against the country’s self-installed military rulers. In the latest round of protests outside the capital Khartoum, police admit to killing a protester, shooting him to death, escalating the violence on both sides. So far, 125 protestors have been killed since the coup occurred in October of 2021.

The police defended their actions, saying “We saw the video that was widely circulated, including the falling of one of the protesters due to the behavior of one of our police officers, and we confirm here that the police had taken all the necessary legal procedures against him. We also stress that this was an individual behavior that was rejected by the police and against the orders we had given to our forces on the ground.”

The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors tweeted in response to the killing Ibrahim Mazjoob, the latest protestor to be killed by the military junta, “The martyrdom of the revolutionary Ibrahim Majzoob is another crime added to the crimes of the police, the coup authority and its military council.”

Turkey to Hold Elections in May, Says Erdogan

Freedomist Editor March 1, 2023

Just a few months after an earthquake struck Turkey, leaving tens of thousands dead and critical infrastructure in tatters, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to hold national elections in May, presumably because among the chaos of the moment he can more easily “win,” by hook or by crook.

The Biden administration could tell them a thing or two about exploiting upheaval to “win” elections.

Erdogan said of his decision “This nation will do what is necessary on May 14, God willing. We will build better buildings in place of those which collapsed. We will win hearts and we will unroll a new future in front of our people.”

A Cure for Covid-19?

Freedomist Editor March 1, 2023

Researchers at UK’s University of Cambridge believe they can create a class of Covid-19 killer drugs using a gene-cutting technology that could use artificial enzymes to surgically cut the virus’ RNA genome.

From Scientific American:

Popular CRISPR gene-editing tools can also target RNA, but the human immune system sometimes reacts poorly to the bacterial enzymes used. XNAzymes are not found in nature, making them less likely to trigger an immune system attack. They also don’t rely on co-opting extra components from within the cell; this might reduce side effects. “All contemporary RNA treatments make use of cellular machinery,” says biomedical engineer Roy van der Meel of Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, who was not involved in the new research. “This is a pair of stand-alone scissors.”

The breakthrough promises to threaten the use of Covid-19 as another round of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, so critics are skeptical of any effective follow-up to these initial findings.

BREAKTHROUGH MAKES MICROBATTERIES AS EFFICIENT AS REGULAR BATTERIES

Freedomist Editor March 1, 2023

A team of scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published a paper in Cell Reports Physical Science that claims they have figured out a way to create micro-scaled batteries without losing energy and power that is typical of current micro-batteries and designs. The team developed a new packaging design that eliminates much of the loss of power and energy of other designs, and they improved the overall performance of the battery by using much more dense electrodes than in previous designs.

Team Biden Admits Covid-19 Was Lab-Leaked from China

Paul Collier March 1, 2023

After the U.S. Energy Department declared the Covid-19 virus came from a Wuhan Lab leak, now the FBI Director, Christopher Wray is ready to join in that assertion. This follows years of blacklisting of Americans who shared the same belief, and censorship of this assumption on DNC-CCP-run social media platforms and in DNC-CCP allied newsrooms.

As thoughtful Americans investigated the Covid-19 virus, they discovered evidence the virus was a man-made virus leaked from China’s Wuhan Lab. Corporate America decided to use its culture-making power to destroy the lives of those who made such a claim, cancelling them from their jobs, cancelling them from social media, and assuring the corporate-owned DNC-CCP media continued to demonize dissent from the party narrative. Now, as China rises in power and the DNC-CCP contemplates its relationship with the CCP, Team Biden is ready to embrace the truth that the virus WAS a man-made virus released from China’s Wuhan Lab.

It is the nature of a frenemy relationship in which both sides depend on the other for some of their tyrant-making powers at home against their own people, that each gives the other assistance even as it seeks to undermine what power could be used to tip the advantage in their frenemy’s favor. Even as Team Biden continues to support China’s spy apps like TikTok to permeate our homes and influence our children, they are also hoping leaning into convenient truth could check some of China’s credibility overseas, especially in Africa, where the U.S. and the West is falling behind China’s grifting of her new African colonies.
