About Those Bio-Weapons Labs In Ukraine That Media Said Was A Conspiracy Theory

[buffy]

True to form, Fake News Spun a Tall Tail involving Q that had no basis in truth - Q NEVER posted ANYTHING about bioweapons labs in Ukraine. Period. The article goes on to purport other Q falsehoods. No surprise (and that should tell you something); first they deny, then they ridicule, then, they deflect. Regardless, the MSM version of the story served its purpose - to label the notion that that there were bioweapons lab in Ukraine as a crazy conspiracy theory believed by "QAnon" fanatics. That ought to do the trick.

Until today.

Today, Victoria Nuland had to come out and provide cover for the discovery that, yes, there ARE bioweapons labs in Ukraine - U.S. funded bioweapons labs. And her spin?
She's worried that Putin may exploit them!



This, after we discovered that Fauci funded gain-of-function ​research on the coronavirus off-shore in CHINA and infected the entire world and crashed the global economy. Yet, we're to believe that Putin is the dangerous one!

Thank God we have some honest journalists like Natalie Winters



A deleted web article recovered by The National Pulse reveals that former President Barack Obama spearheaded an agreement leading to the construction of biolabs handling “especially dangerous pathogens” in Ukraine.

The news comes on the same day that Biden regime apparatchik Victoria Nuland told the U.S. Senate that the American government is concerned about biological research facilities falling into Russian hands as a result of the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe.

Originally posted on June 18th, 2010, the article “Biolab Opens in Ukraine” details how Obama, while serving as an Illinois Senator, helped negotiate a deal to build a level-3 bio-safety lab in the Ukrainian city of Odessa.
The article, which also highlighted the work of former Senator Dick Lugar, was additionally included in Issue No. 818 of the United States Air Force (USAF) Counterproliferation Center’s Outreach Journal.

“Lugar said plans for the facility began in 2005 when he and then-Senator Barack Obama entered a partnership with Ukrainian officials. Lugar and Obama also helped coordinate efforts between the U.S and Ukrainian researchers that year in an effort to study and help prevent avian flu,” explained author Tina Redlup.


A 2011 report from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ Committee on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories explained how the Odessa-based laboratory “is responsible for the identification of especially dangerous biological pathogens.”

“This laboratory was reconstructed and technically updated up to the BSL-3 level through a cooperative agreement between the United States Department of Defense and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine that started in 2005. The collaboration focuses on preventing the spread of technologies, pathogens, and knowledge that can be used in the development of biological weapons,” the report continues.

“The updated laboratory serves as Interim Central Reference Laboratory with a depozitarium (pathogen collection). According to Ukrainian regulations, it has a permit to work with both bacteria and viruses of the first and second pathogenic groups,” explains the report.
A separate document detailing Ukraine’s biolab network from the BioWeapons Prevention Project outlines in greater detail the scope of pathogens the facility has conducted research with.
Among the viruses the lab studied were Ebola and “viruses of pathogencity group II by using of virology, molecular, serologica and express methods.”

Additionally, the lab provided “special training for specialists on biosafety and biosecurity issues during handling of dangerous biological pathogenic agents.”

The unearthed biolab facility follows intense scrutiny over the U.S. government’s decision to fund risky, “gain-of-function” research in Wuhan at a Chinese Communist Party-run lab with military ties.

Zhao called on "relevant sides to ensure the safety of these labs" and said that "the U.S., as the party that knows the labs the best, should disclose specific information as soon as possible, including which viruses are stored and what research has been conducted."

According to the report, these claims 'mirror the diversion tactics China's diplomats used last year when questioned about the origins of Covid-19'.

Als deze ongein over die biolabs waar is, dan weet de @EU_Commission -en onze regering- hier ook van. Dan komt de ongebreidelde steun voor de #Oekraïne toch echt in een heel ander licht te staan.#GR2022 #oorlog https://t.co/PGriHtx5t8

Meanwhile, Britain's Defense Ministry tweeted on Tuesday that it had noticed an uptick in allegations by Russia that Ukraine has, or is working on, biological or nuclear weapons.

"These narratives are long standing but are currently likely being amplified as part of a retrospective justification for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine," it added.

The labs exist

Hours later, US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland told Sen. Marco Rubio during a hearing that the labs do indeed exist, and must be protected from Russia - which, as Rubio suggested - may stage a biological or chemical false flag attack that they blame on Ukraine.

"Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach."

Rubio responded - "I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they've uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the country and with NATO's coordination. If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it?"

To which Nuland replied: "There is no doubt in my mind Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they're planning to do themselves."

”Washington cannot remain quiet. While they went around the world spilling blood looking for biological weapons, you have been looking in the WRONG PLACE. We found them for you - we found your own products - we found your biological material. It was developed for military purposes - you developed it in the Ukraine. WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE? It is a different continent; it has no borders with you - you have no bases there. What were you doing under the guise of scientific research?

The world must know.

Now that we have the evidence that cannot be refuted, we demand that you provide details of what you intended to do with them. Enough games!”

Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners provided capital for the firms behind the creation of Biolabs in Ukraine.

We heard on Tuesday from the US State Department that there were US Biolabs in Ukraine. Then on Wednesday the Biden regime backtracked and insisted there were no US-funded Biolabs in Ukraine.



Why the sudden confusing messaging from the Biden gang? Especially when there are documents that prove the US was funding several of the Biolabs they set up in Ukraine to study potentially dangerous pathogens.

It may be because Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca was funding the firms involved in the building of these labs in Ukraine and they felt this was not something they wanted the American people to know.

InfoWars put together an excellent article with connections between Hunter Biden and the firm Metabiota, which was involved in the creation of Biolabs in Ukraine.

The Gateway Pundit identified through the Wayback Machine that Rosemont Seneca provided capital (invested in) Metabiota as noted on the firm’s website back in 2014.

The best part of this article, and the place to start reading is the comment section - we're not buying their denials...



and now, the article...

“Rather than explain that complex reality to the American people, the administration just wanted to have a fight in the media about it. They wanted to make it a talking point, instead of leveling with the American people.”

That’s how one academic specializing in Russia policy and defense technology — who asked to remain anonymous due to concerns about professional ramifications for speaking candidly — summarized the Biden administration’s handling of Ukrainian biolab conspiracy theories, which began to spread last month after Russia accused the U.S. of developing biological weapons in Ukrainian facilities.

Members of the Biden administration, from White House press secretary Jen Psaki to State Department spokesman Ned Price, flatly denied the accusation, but made no effort to explain to confused or skeptical Americans what these facilities were actually being used for. The result was a vacuum of information, quickly filled by claims that the U.S. was developing bioweapons in these labs, or that Ukraine had a biological weapons program, or that the U.S. was conducting research on old Soviet weapons there.

The man who heads up the Pentagon’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (CTR), Dr. Robert Pope, told the Daily Caller none of that is the case.

“We did not find biological weapons when we first started our work with Ukraine, and have not found any since then,” he said.

CTR falls under the umbrella of the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). This is the government agency responsible for coordinating with researchers and laboratories in foreign countries, including some ex-Soviet republics, to eliminate the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including those left behind by the Soviet Union.

What CTR also does, but does not publicize as well, is monitor virus reservoirs, research labs and other potential sources of a pandemic outbreak and work with countries to safely study and dispose of dangerous pathogens. That, Pope said, is what the agency is actually doing in Ukraine.

*Isn't that what Fauci said we were doing Wuhan? Studying gain-of-function viruses in case some other bad actor developed a bioweapon. Keep reading...

“As CTR completed the projects addressing the immediate danger of these Soviet bioweapons facilities, the program shifted to helping these newly-independent countries to develop the laboratories and trained personnel needed to detect and report disease outbreaks before they became a threat to the partner nation or the world,” he explained. “American health security depends on the ability of countries around the world to detect and report disease outbreaks before they reach our homeland.”

This aspect of the DTRA’s mission is not well-advertised. CTR’s own mission statement on state.gov makes no mention of it, focusing only on WMDs: “The Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) seeks to prevent proliferator states and terrorist groups from developing or acquiring Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and delivery systems that could threaten the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests abroad.”

While that may be true, it does not fill in the gaps left by the unanswered questions of some Americans, particularly those who may be skeptical of government power or the Biden administration in particular. The State Department, through spokesman Ned Price, reiterated the same talking points, also without further explanation.

“As we have said all along, Russia is inventing false pretexts in an attempt to justify its own horrific actions in Ukraine,” Price said in a statement. “The United States does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine, it is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological Weapons Convention, and it does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere.”

Once again, this statement is by all appearances true. The U.S. offers some funding and support to some Ukrainian biolabs, but it does not own or directly operate them, the Pentagon says. But there are no answers to the questions of what is happening in these labs, why the U.S. has an interest in them and whether or not there is a threat posed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine of a potential disease outbreak.

The expert who spoke with the Daily Caller said all of these questions are easily answerable, but the Biden administration simply didn’t bother offering those answers to the American people.

“Many Americans don’t understand what we accomplished [with CTR],” he said. “There’s so much treatment of the American people as if everybody is an idiot.”

He corroborated Pope’s statement that there are no bioweapons in the Ukrainian biolabs. What likely is in some of those labs, he said, are naturally occurring pathogens that could have served as the basis for Soviet bioweapon development.

“The function of Ukrainian labs in the Soviet bioweapons program [was] gathering and studying natural pathogens for inclusion in the program in labs elsewhere in the USSR,” he explained. “There weren’t any bioweapons in any of these labs, but there were naturally occurring pathogens that were likely the foundation for bioweapons.”

Pope, who alluded in a previous interview to the possibility that scientists were keeping around pathogens from the Soviet weapons program in these labs, clarified that this is what he was referring to. “Ukraine’s role in the Soviet bioweapons program was different: its anti-plague stations were used to identify naturally occurring pathogens that could be later used in a broader Soviet program. If any of these samples were maintained, it was not to develop weapons, but rather for Ukrainian scientists to conduct research,” he said.

*Again, think Wuhan

So, if the purpose of CTR is primarily to protect Americans from foreign WMDs, and none of those were technically found in Ukraine, why is the program still operating in the country 17 years after it started there, and three decades after the dissolution of the USSR? Pope said they shifted their resources to monitoring potential disease outbreaks, which the U.S. government does in a whole host of countries.

“Since CTR did not find biological weapons, the program shifted its focus on establishing safety and security practices to ensure the Ukrainian public and veterinary diagnostic laboratories have the latest training and technology to identify, detect and respond to local disease out-breaks.”

The expert who spoke with the Daily Caller concurred, and offered some additional potential explanations.

“I don’t think it’s unfair to describe part of what DTRA funded as basically make-work for former Soviet scientists who were too dangerous to let out into the wild.”

He added that the reason this work must be conducted in Ukraine is twofold. First, the housing of some of these pathogens by the Soviet Union in Ukraine, and the testing or research done on them there, means there is a unique threat of spillover from some of these diseases into human populations. If the remnants of Soviet biological weapons research were left behind in Ukraine, the U.S. has to go to Ukraine to study and monitor those remnants to ensure they don’t lead to an outbreak.

Secondly, Ukraine is where the labs and scientists are. In addition to giving jobs to ex-Soviet scientists, who may otherwise pose a threat working for another actor, part of DTRA’s purview is ensuring that these weapons programs can’t be ramped up again in the future, be it by Russia or another state or non-state entity, the expert said. Taking some interest in these facilities, be it financial or otherwise, helps to make sure they don’t fall into the wrong hands and become a threat to the American people.

All of this research isn’t without risk. There are some who believe the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a lab leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. There have been at least two known lab leaks from Soviet-era labs historically, and it’s possible that some pathogens may have escaped into a Ukrainian animal population or ecological environment which must now be monitored, the academic said. And to the degree that American public officials expressed concern about Ukrainian biolabs, much of it was about the possibility that Russian attacks on these facilities would jeopardize their stability and lead to an outbreak.

There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world. We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured & pathogens destroyed pic.twitter.com/dhDTH5smIG
