Research in a Bio-Lab, somewhere, financed by … ?

 

 

There are ‘news’ and then there are News. Again, I’ll leave the ‘reports’ about the military conditions in the Ukraine to ‘Our Experts’ here in the newsrooms. Our MSM are again indulging in shock-horror ‘news’ while diligently looking away from other, proper horror news which are reported elsewhere. I’ll get to those below.

There is one item I need to mention. It’s an instance of extreme foot-in-mouth disease. Some more uncharitable people might see it as a sign for the poodlefication of the UK. Ben Wallace, MoD Minister, said yesterday that Britain would support Poland were they to decide to send their old MiG  fighter jets to Ukraine:

“Ben Wallace warned that Warsaw could be drawn into the “direct line of fire” from Russia or Belarus, but said the UK would be ready to offer defensive support to its Nato ally. An attack on one Nato partner is considered an attack on all and would be likely to spark a collective response under article five of the alliance’s treaty. “I would support the Poles and whatever choice they make,” Mr Wallace told Sky Newson Tuesday […]” (paywalled link)

Well, that was nice of him: fuelling the blaze regardless that might lead to nuclear war. Perhaps he simply said this to signal his virtue, standing shoulder to shoulder with the last Ukrainian and Polish man remaining. However, did his superiors in the USA not tell him beforehand that this was a huge no-no? Or did they permit him to speak, to make himself look good as a potential replacement for Johnson?

After all, it didn’t take long for the USA to reject Poland’s plan (link). At the same time though the USA moved two more mobile anti-aircraft batteries to Poland. I quote from the report on RT in case you cannot access the site:

“This defensive deployment is being conducted proactively to counter any potential threat to US and Allied forces and NATO territory,” the United States European Command (EUCOM) said in a statement on Tuesday. The combatant command further stressed that the mobile missile systems, which use guided munitions to intercept and destroy hostile targets, are “a prudent force protection measure” that “in no way support any offensive operations.” (link)

Well, that’s alright then and at least these are not nukes, are they! While “we” can feel safe while our energy costs rise and rise, there’s one piece of news which doesn’t seem to worry our fear porn merchants. Not even after two years of covid, lockdowns, and the still ongoing attempts to find out if that virus was man-made and escaped from a bio-lab can our MSM be bothered with the evidence of biolabs in Ukraine, apparently run by the Pentagon.

In the early days of Russia’s Special Operation there were reports that US officials destroyed papers relating to those biolabs, e.g. here. Yesterday Ms Nuland testified before a US Senate Commission where she was asked about this issue. This is the same Ms Nuland who infamously quipped ‘fuck the EU’ in 2014, bribing Ukraine with $5b US tax dollars, leading to the events which got all of us to where we are now.

Ms Nuland’s admission was reported by SputnikNews (link). Of course, we won’t go to such Russian propaganda sites, would we! Instead, see this report in an Indian paper:

“On Tuesday, the US government’s Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland testified before a Senate Foreign Relation Committee hearing on Ukraine in Washington, DC, and said that the United States was working with Ukraine to prevent invading Russian forces from seizing biological research material. The State Department also stated that it was concerned that Russian forces are trying to gain control of biological research facilities within Ukraine.” (link)

Note well that Ms Nuland is shamelessly accusing Russia of wanting to ‘control’ these biolabs. Since “we” are of course not using Russian propaganda material, we will look at a tweet from a US citizen who makes the pertinent point our own MSM are too squeamish to make – here’s the link.

It’s a well-known technique to blame the opponent for doing or planning to do that which one oneself hopes to do, in secret. It’s called ‘projection’ and has become a potent instrument in the war news our MSM are indulging in. Meanwhile, China has asked some pertinent questions regarding Ms Nuland’s admission:

“Chinese foreign ministry on Tuesday called on the United States to release all-around details of its biological laboratories in Ukraine, and urged relevant parties to ensure their safety. Recent media reports said those biological laboratories store large quantities of dangerous viruses, and Russia has found in the course of military operations that the United States uses those facilities for biological military programs.” (link)

You might like to read the whole, brief entry – it’s from China so cannot be ‘Russian Propaganda’. RT has picked up the Chinese news report and added:

“On Monday, the Russian military said Ukrainian authorities had been destroying pathogens studied at its laboratories. Moscow claimed that 30 US-financed Ukrainian biolabs have been actively cooperating with the American military. Kiev has denied developing bioweapons. According to the website of the US embassy in Kiev, the US Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program only “collaborates with partner countries to counter the threat of outbreaks” of infectious diseases. In 2020, the embassy called such theories about US-funded biolabs in Ukraine “disinformation.” (link)

I like it when the cry of ‘fake news’ is later shown to have been a proper lie. However, we ‘re aware that the authorities can turn what formerly was just ‘fake news’  into ‘disinformation’ punishable by imprisonment. Only the subject of that ‘crime’ is variable: something on the war in Ukraine not in the approved MSM in Czechia now, something about biolabs and man-made diseases in future – who knows.

I’ll leave you with yet another instance demonstrating that the ‘war’ is fought on social media. On Monday, Ukraine accused Russia in front of the Court in Den Hague of ‘war crimes’. Yesterday the USA said:

“The United States has no direct evidence of war crimes in Ukraine besides what is seen on social media, Defence Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier said on Tuesday.” (link)

Ah. But then, who cares about that when our MSM ’experts’, the generals of the ‘101 Chairborne Division’, prefer reporting by social media to doing their own research. An  anonymous comment poster observed:

“The 24 hour news cycle now amounts to: (1) outrageous claims of huge Russian losses based on dubious Ukrainian intelligence; (2) sudden no mention of these claims after gradual realization that they cannot be maintained; (3) the invention of new claims the next day.”

One look into our MSM prove that he’s correct. The fact-checkers seem to have gone AWOL. ‘Fact’ is now what amateurs report on social media. Clearly, there are now no ‘fake news’ either because they’re superseded by ‘new News’ and immediately forgotten. 

One news item which none of the warmongers and fake-news providers  in the west will be able to dismiss is the price rise at the petrol pumps. Reality has this terrible habit of interfering with even the best propaganda. 

So for now we must stay even more vigilant, question everything and believe nothing without doing our own fact checks.
