Reports from the first day of the Russian military operation in Ukraine show that the Ukrainian army does not have much to counter the Russian forces. The Ukrainian army was heavily armed by NATO, but since most Ukrainian soldiers were conscripted to serve against their will, their fighting spirit seems to be decidedly low.<\/p>\n
In many places, it is reported that the Russian army met no resistance at the border and was literally waved through by the Ukrainian forces.Where fighting has occurred, Ukrainian soldiers have waved white flags. This is not true everywhere, but it seems to have happened very frequently. However, the so-called volunteer battalions, in particular, composed of volunteer Ukrainian nationalists, are probably resisting fiercely.<\/p>\n
Russia reports that there is no longer a functioning military airport in Ukraine and that a great deal of weaponry, especially anti-aircraft and artillery, was destroyed in the first few hours. The shooting down of several Turkish-made Bayraktar drones was also reported. CNN filmed Russian soldiers allegedly occupying Kiev airport.<\/p>\n
This would make sense, as Russia has announced that one of the goals of the military operation is to denazify Ukraine. Apparently, the occupation of civilian airports is intended to limit the ability of those responsible in Ukraine to escape. U.S. bioweapons labs in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
I have often reported that the U.S., more specifically the Pentagon, operates several bioweapons labs in Ukraine. The last time I reported on this was on January 27. The U.S. has always refused international inspections of its labs, so no one knows what they are researching in these labs. But we can assume that Russian special forces will take a closer look at these labs in the coming days.<\/p>\n
And this seems to be exactly a can of worms. A tweet was published on Twitter about this and the user was immediately blocked. I won\u2019t go into the content of the tweet, which can still be found in an Internet archive. If you are interested, you can view it here [1].<\/p>\n
My point is that Twitter was so quick to delete a tweet and its author merely because he pointed out that there are U.S. bioweapons labs in Ukraine and that it looks like their capture is one of the important targets of the Russian military operation.<\/p>\n
Who Russia Still Seeks in Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n Russian President Putin said the following in his address to the nation on Monday about the Odesa tragedy of May 2014, in which nearly 50 people were burned alive by radical Maidan supporters and which has never been solved in Ukraine:<\/p>\n \u201cThe criminals who committed this atrocity have not been punished and no one is looking for them. But we know their names and will do everything to punish them, find them and bring them to justice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Considering that the Russian army is also on its way to Odessa, some people there might be getting very nervous right now and trying to leave the city quickly.<\/p>\n The same goes for the radical neo-Nazis who are in power in Ukraine. On Russian television, Russian officials say that they also want to hold those responsible for other crimes, for example in the Donbass [2], accountable.<\/p>\n Introduction<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This devastating 2018 article that brought on an FBI crackdown gives the background of how the 2017 research funded by USAID\/CIA at the University of North Carolina, using Wuhan Horseshoe Bat virus, may have ended up centering on the US in either a horrible \u201cbackfire\u201d or a purposeful Deep State plot against the US.<\/em><\/p>\n It all began with Project Clear Vision, which is outlined below.

These US bio-laboratories are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program<\/a>\u2013 Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP) and are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Africa.<\/p>\n Georgia is a testing ground for bioweapons<\/strong><\/p>\n The Lugar Center is the Pentagon bio laboratory in Georgia. It is located just 17 km away from the US Vaziani military airbase in the capital Tbilisi. Tasked with the military program are biologists from the US Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-G) along with private contractors. The Bio-safety Level 3 Laboratory is accessible only to US citizens with\u00a0security clearance. They are accorded diplomatic immunity under the 2002 US-Georgia Agreement on defense cooperation.<\/p>\n The USA-Georgia agreement accords diplomatic status to the US military and civilian personnel (including diplomatic vehicles), working on the Pentagon program in Georgia.<\/p>\n Information obtained from the US federal contracts registry clarifies some of the military activities at The Lugar Center \u2013 among them\u00a0research on bio-agents<\/a>\u00a0(anthrax, tularemia) and viral diseases (e.g. Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever), and the collection of biological samples for future experiments.<\/p>\n Pentagon contractors produce bio agents under diplomatic cover<\/strong><\/p>\n The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has outsourced much of the work under the military program to private companies, which are not held accountable to\u00a0 Congress, and which can operate more freely and move around the rule of law.<\/p>\n US civilian personnel performing work at The Lugar Center have also been given diplomatic immunity, although they are not diplomats. Hence, private companies can perform work, under diplomatic cover, for the US government without being under the direct control of the host state \u2013 in this case, the Republic of Georgia. This practice is often used by the CIA to provide cover for its agents.<\/p>\n Three private American companies work at the US bio-laboratory in Tbilisi \u2013 CH2M Hill, Battelle, and Metabiota. In addition to the Pentagon, these private contractors perform biological research for the CIA and various other government agencies.<\/p>\n CH2M Hill has been awarded\u00a0$341.5 million\u00a0<\/a>DTRA contracts\u00a0<\/a>under the Pentagon\u2019s program for bio-laboratories in Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan, South East Asia. Half of this sum\u00a0($161.1\u00a0<\/a>million<\/a>), being allocated to The Lugar Center, under the Georgian contract.<\/p>\n According to CH2M Hill, the US Company has secured biological agents and employed former bio warfare scientists at The Lugar Center. These are scientists who are working for another American company involved in the military program in Georgia \u2013 Battelle Memorial Institute.<\/p>\n Battelle as a $59 million subcontractor at Lugar Center has extensive experience in research on bio-agents, as the company has already worked on the US Bio-weapons Program under\u00a011 previous contracts with the US Army<\/a>\u00a0(1952-1966).<\/p>\n Source: US <\/em><\/a>Army Activities in the US, Biological Warfare Programs,\u00a0<\/em><\/a>vol.\u00a0<\/em><\/a>II,\u00a0<\/em><\/a>1977, p. 82<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n The private company performs work for the Pentagon\u2019s DTRA bio laboratories in\u00a0Afghanistan<\/a>, Armenia, Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam<\/a>.

Bioterrorism Agent<\/a>.\u00a0 B. pseudomallei was studied by the US as a potential bioweapon in the past.<\/p>\n Besides the military experiments at the Lugar Center in Georgia, Battelle has already produced bioterrorism agents at the Biosafety Level 4 NBACC Top Secret Laboratory at Fort Detrick in the US. An NBACC presentation lists 16 research priorities for the lab.<\/p>\n Amongst them to characterize classically, emerging, and genetically engineered pathogens for their BTA (biological threat agent) potential; assess the nature of the nontraditional, novel, and non-endemic induction of disease from potential BTA and expand aerosol-challenge testing capacity for non-human primates.<\/p>\n Pentagon Biolabs at the epicenter of the Ebola crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n The US Company Metabiota Inc. has been awarded\u00a0$18.4 million federal contracts<\/a>\u00a0under the Pentagon\u2019s DTRA program in Georgia and Ukraine for scientific and technical consulting services.<\/p>\n Metabiota services include global field-based biological threat research, pathogen discovery, outbreak response, and clinical trials.<\/p>\n Metabiota Inc. had been contracted by the Pentagon to perform work for DTRA before and during the Ebola crisis in West Africa and was awarded\u00a0$3.1 million (2012-2015) for work in Sierra Leone\u00a0<\/a>\u2013 one of the countries at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak.<\/p>\n Metabiota worked on a Pentagon project at the epicenter of the Ebola crisis, where three US Biolabs are situated.<\/p>\n A July 17, 2014 report <\/a>drafted by the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium, accused Metabiota Inc. of failing to abide by an existing agreement on how to report test results and for bypassing the Sierra Leonean scientists working there.<\/p>\n The report also raised the possibility that Metabiota was culturing blood cells at the lab, something the report said was dangerous, as well as misdiagnosing healthy patients. All of those allegations were denied by Metabiota.<\/p>\n 2011, The Lugar Center, Andrew C.

The Pentagon has allegedly performed such entomological tests in Georgia and Russia.<\/p>\n Biting Flies in Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2014 The Lugar Center was equipped with an insect facility and launched a project\u00a0\u201cRaising Awareness about Barcoding of Sand Flies in Georgia and\u00a0Caucasus\u201d.\u00a0The project covered a larger geographic area outside of Georgia \u2013 Caucasus. In 2014-2015 Phlebotomine sand fly species were collected under another project\u00a0\u201cSurveillance Work on Acute Febrile Illness\u201d\u00a0and all (female) sand flies were tested to determine their infectivity rate. A third project, also including sand flies collection, studied\u00a0the\u00a0characteristics of\u00a0their salivary glands.<\/p>\n A biting fly in a bathroom in Tbilisi. Flies in Georgia<\/p>\n As a result, Tbilisi has been infested with biting flies since 2015. These biting insects live indoors, in bathrooms, all year long, which was not the typical behavior of these species in Georgia previously (normally the Phlebotomine fly season in Georgia is exceptionally short \u2013 from June to September).<\/p>\n Local people complain of being bitten by these newly appeared flies while naked in their bathrooms. They also have a strong resistance to cold and can survive even in the sub-zero temperatures in the mountains.<\/p>\n Biting Flies in Dagestan, Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the start of the Pentagon project in 2014 flies similar to those in Georgia has appeared in neighboring Dagestan (Russia). According to local people, they bite and cause rashes. Their breeding habitats are house drains.<\/p>\n Flies in Georgia (on the left). The same fly in Dagestan (on the right)<\/p>\n Flies from the Phlebotomine family carry dangerous parasites in their saliva which they transmit through a bite to humans. The disease, which these flies carry, is of high interest to the Pentagon. In 2003 during the US invasion of Iraq American soldiers were severely bitten by sandflies and contracted Leishmaniasis. The disease is native to Iraq and Afghanistan and if left untreated the acute form of Leishmaniasis can be fatal.<\/p>\n A 1967 US Army report\u00a0\u201cArthropods\u00a0<\/a>of medical importance in Asia and the European USSR<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/a>lists all local insects, their distribution, and the diseases that they carry.

As a result, the morbidity rate of the disease reached its peak in 2013. The same year NATO started human-based anthrax vaccine tests at The Lugar Center in Georgia.<\/p>\n In 2007 despite the anthrax outbreak, the Georgian government terminated the compulsory vaccination for 7 years, 2013 saw NATO start human trials on a new anthrax vaccine in Georgia.<\/p>\n Pentagon Research on Russian Anthrax\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Anthrax is one of the bioagents weaponized by the US Army in the past<\/a>. Despite the Pentagon\u2019s claims that its program is only defensive, there are facts to the contrary. In 2016 at The Lugar Center American scientists carried out research on the\u00a0\u201cGenome\u00a0<\/a>Sequence of the Soviet\/Russian\u00a0<\/a>Bacillus anthracis<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Vaccine Strain\u00a0<\/a>55-VNIIVViM\u201d<\/a>, which was funded by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency\u2019s (DTRA) Cooperative Biological Engagement Program in Tbilisi, and administered by Metabiota (the US contractor under the Pentagon program in Georgia).<\/p>\n In 2017 the \u00a0DTRA funded further research \u2013\u00a0Ten\u00a0<\/a>Genome Sequences of Human and Livestock Isolates of\u00a0<\/a>Bacillus anthracis<\/em><\/a>\u00a0from the Country of\u00a0<\/a>Georgia<\/a>, which was performed by USAMRU-G at The Lugar Center.<\/p>\n 34 people intentionally infected with Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection through a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus). The disease was first characterized in\u00a0Crimea<\/strong>\u00a0in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in\u00a0Congo<\/strong>, thus resulting in the current name of the disease.<\/p>\n In 2014\u00a03<\/a>4 people became infected (among which a 4-year old child) with CCHF.\u00a0<\/a>3<\/a>\u00a0of which died.<\/a>\u00a0The same year Pentagon biologists studied the virus in Georgia under the DTRA project\u00a0\u201cEpidemiology of febrile illnesses caused by Dengue viruses and other Arboviruses in Georgia\u201d. The project included tests on patients with fever symptoms and the collection of ticks, as possible vectors of CCHV for laboratory analysis.<\/p>\n 33 people became infected with CCHF, 3 of them died in Georgia.<\/p>\n Source: NCDC-Georgia<\/p>\n The cause of the CCHF outbreak in Georgia is still unknown. According to the local\u00a0Veterinary Department report, only one tick from all of the collected species from the infected villages tested positive for the disease. Despite the claims of the local authorities that the virus was transmitted to humans from animals, all animal blood samples were negative too. The lack of infected ticks and animals is inexplicable given the sharp increase of CCHF human cases in 2014, meaning that the outbreak was not natural and the virus was spread intentionally.<\/p>\n In 2016 another 21 590 ticks were collected for the DNA database for future studies at The Lugar Center under the Pentagon project \u201cAssessing\u00a0<\/a>the\u00a0<\/a>Seroprevalence\u00a0<\/a>and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in\u00a0<\/a>Georgia\u201d.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Symptoms of CCHF<\/p>\n Military bio-lab blamed for deadly CCHF outbreak in Afghanistan<\/strong><\/p>\n 237 cases of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) have also been reported across Afghanistan, 41 of which were fatal as of December 2017. According to Afghanistan\u2019s Ministry of Health most of the cases have been registered in the capital Kabul where 71 cases have been reported with 13 fatalities, and in the province of Herat near the border with Iran (67 cases).<\/p>\n Afghanistan is one of 25 countries across the world with Pentagon bio-laboratories on their territory. The project in Afghanistan is part of the US bio-defense program \u2013 Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP), which is funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The DTRA contractors, working at The Lugar Center in Georgia, CH2M Hill and\u00a0Battelle<\/a>\u00a0have also been contracted for the program in Afghanistan. CH2M Hill has been awarded a\u00a0$10.4 million contract\u00a0<\/a>(2013-2017). The Pentagon contractors in Afghanistan and Georgia are the same and so are the diseases which are spreading among the local population in both countries.<\/p>\n Why the Pentagon collects and studies bats<\/strong><\/p>\n Bats are allegedly the reservoir hosts to\u00a0the Ebola Virus<\/a>,\u00a0Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS<\/a>)<\/a>\u00a0and other deadly diseases. However, the precise ways these viruses are transmitted to humans are currently unknown. Numerous studies have been performed under the\u00a0DTRA Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP)<\/a>\u00a0in a search for deadly pathogens of military importance in bats.<\/p>\n 221 bats were euthanized at the Lugar Center\u00a0<\/em><\/a>for research purposes in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n
