If you would be so kind, Please #BOOST! People really need to see this...

The American people, and the world, are being lied to by the U.S. Government about the existence of the so-called bioweapons labs in Ukraine.

2010: The Press Office of the U.S. Department of Defense celebrates the opening of the ICRL in Odessa, Ukraine (a Level-3 Bioweapons Laboratory), whose mission it is to work on horrific bioterror pathogens such as hemorrhagic fever, Q-virus, anthrax, tularemia, and other potentially extinction capable biological agents.

"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."

This information has been completely scrubbed and deleted from U.S. Government websites over the past few days, and last I checked, Archive.is is down at this time, but Archive.org (The Wayback Engine) still contains actively archiived pages of government websites with the evidential pages - they haven't gotten to the "Internet Archive" yet.

HIGH-CONTAINMENT LABORATORIES IN UKRAINE: LOCAL RESOURCES AND REGULATIONS

What high-containment biological (high BSL) laboratories exist in your country? What are the facilities’ main goals and priorities?

There are over 4,000 registered microbiological laboratories in Ukraine, but only 2 of them have a permit to work with microorganisms of the first pathogenic group, 402 laboratories have a permit to work with the microorganisms of the second pathogenic group, and all others are allowed to work only with microorganisms of the third and forth pathogenic groups. Here it is necessary to note that the classification of pathogenic organisms and therefore classification of the laboratories in Ukraine differs from the international one. It is inverted (i.e., in Ukraine “one” is the highest risk and “four” is the lowest risk) and also has some additional differences. That is why when speaking about high-containment laboratories according to Ukraine’s official classification we need to consider the laboratories that have a permit to work with the microorganisms of the first and the second pathogenic groups. At the same time it is not possible to say that a laboratory that has a permit to work with microorganisms of the first pathogenic group in Ukraine is equivalent to an international BSL-4 lab or that one working with microorganisms of the second pathogenic group is equivalent to a BSL-3 lab.

According to the available data, there are no laboratories in Ukraine that fulfill BSL-4 requirements. One of the laboratories that has a permit to work with the microorganisms of the first pathogenic group did, however, recently undergo an international audit as a BSL-3 laboratory and received a preliminary positive evaluation. This is one of the laboratories of the SI (State Institution) “Ukrainian I. I. Mechnikov Anti-Plague Research Institute” of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (Odessa), which 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 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. A second laboratory of the SI “Ukrainian I. I. Mechnikov Anti-Plague Research Institute” of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine also has a permit to work with microorganisms of the first pathogenic group, but it is not updated to the BSL-3 level. This laboratory works only with the especially dangerous infections of bacterial etiology. The third laboratory upgraded to the BSL-3 level belongs to the Central Sanitary Epidemiological Station of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. This laboratory was updated within the State program and the above-mentioned cooperative agreement between Ukraine and the United States. It has a permit to work with microorganisms of the second pathogenic group and is intended for work with especially dangerous infections.

According to the information received from the Central Regime Commission, the main authority that is responsible for the registration of microbiological laboratories in Ukraine, among the 402 laboratories that have permits to work with microorganisms of the second pathogenic group, 37 are subordinate to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Out of these 37 laboratories, 6 laboratories belong to research institutions, and therefore their main goals are scientific and practical investigations, while 31 laboratories belong to the Sanitary Epidemiological Service of Ukraine. These 31 laboratories are responsible for epidemiological and diagnostic investigations. Three hundred sixty two laboratories that have a permit to work with microorganisms of the second pathogenic group are subordinate to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine. Out of them, 358 laboratories are responsible for diagnostic investigations,

All for peace purposes of course, you're over reacting.

Oh yes of course, for peace purposes indeed! That was BrundleFly's intent too.

🚀

But whether those purposeful activities for peaceful purposes include the creation and production of such terrible and uncontrollable weapons is certainly not something you or I have direct evidence of, one way or the other.

What we do have, is a whole shitcan of irrefutable lies from the Whitehouse and various executive branch departments this month demanding we question just how much they are lying about.

We've already got stockpiles of nerve, blood, and vomiting agents at our disposal in the event of hostilities that threaten the destruction of our army. And like it or not, that's a good thing! I distinctly remember eating my lunch in the cafeteria when I worked for the Dept. of Defense when George H.W. Bush, as the Vice President of the United States, cast the tie-breaking vote in the U.S. Senate as to whether we should enact a complete moratorium on the production of these types of bioweapons - his vote sent the initiative down in defeat. Yup, I remember as plain as day, Coz we had this red LED panel called "Silent Radio", and it streamed right across in front of me on the wall as I ate my lunch lolz.

Besides, it actually doesn't make any sense at all, unless someone suffers from such extreme naivety that they're braindead, not to conduct research into nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons if for no other reason than to develop defenses against such satanic measures.

We cannot know the extent to which research of this kind exists, but it's a given that it is ongoing, and other nation-states are doing the same. But the lies... The lies... We're tired of the lies.

So today I read a presser from the DoD saying that the U.S. and Ukraine have been working together since 2005 to eliminate bio weapons abandoned by the USSR. Seventeen (17) years. That is 'udderly' (sic) ridiculous. It doesn't take nearly two decades to incinerate, irradiate, or otherwise safely *dispose* of dangerous pathogens, and as pointed out in the government documentation provided yesterday, many labs holding these deadly weapons were upgraded and new biological research institutes were constructed with the mission of research upon these weapons. Anthrax and TB and Swine flu... sure. It goes without saying that research on prevalent strains of various diseases are a large part of research in any such scientific facility.

Yet proof in the form of empirical evidence from the U.S. Government itself exists that also confirms this includes bioweapons - at least those left over from the end of WWIII when the Soviet Union collapsed.

The Day after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, during his February 25th 2022 interview with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Robert Pope, Director of The US Dept. of Defense's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, stated that some laboratories may hold pathogen strains left over from the Soviet bioweapons program, preserved in freezers for research purposes.

Pope is also quoted as saying during the interview that, “There is no place that still has any of the sort of infrastructure for researching or producing biological weapons”, which according to the documents describing the role of the laboratory in Odessa yesterday, is a patent lie, and also in direct contradiction to what he was just quoted as having said - to be certain, not the part about producing bioweapons (that would be sheer speculation), but the active and ongoing research of these deadly pathogens is a fact.

He later states that these are various pathogens they need for research to, "surveil disease and develop vaccines against. That makes sense, if that is indeed all that is going on in these facilities, some of which are actually former Soviet bioweapons laboratories in which many of these agents were simply abandoned following the end of WWIII on Christmas day 1991.

But the Russians have already demonstrated reckless ambivalence towards global safety by engaging in missile attacks against Nuclear power plants in the past few days, even cutting power to containment areas like Chernobyl.

In response to such concerns as those, Pope went on to say, “If you lose the electrical power, the pathogens in the freezers warm up,” he said. “If the ventilation system is damaged, or the building itself is damaged, and these now ambient-temperature pathogens are able to escape the facility, then they can be potentially infectious in the region around the facility.” Obviously... and even beyond, as the leak of the Wuhan virus in China a couple of years back so effectively demonstrated.

Considering the indiscriminate nature of the Russian artillery campaigns and missile attacks over the past two weeks, and the sheer magnitude of murder unleashed upon innocent civilian non-combatants, it appears that the either the Russian army just can't aim worth a shit, or they just don't give a shit. And that is pure shit.
