    EXCLUSIVE: Deleted Web Pages Show Obama Led an Effort To Build a Ukraine-Based
    BioLab Handling 'Especially Dangerous Pathogens'.

    Recovered by The National Pulse, the article raises serious questions
    about U.S. government activity in Ukraine, stretching back almost two
    decades.

    by Natalie Winters
    March 8, 2022

    A deleted web article recovered by The [19]National Pulse reveals that
    former President [20]Barack Obama spearheaded an agreement leading to the
    construction of biolabs handling "especially dangerous pathogens" in
    [21]Ukraine.

    The news comes on the same day that [23]Biden regime apparatchik
    [24]Victoria Nuland told the U.S. Senate that the American [25]government
    is concerned about biological research facilities falling into Russian
    hands as a result of the ongoing [26]conflict in Eastern Europe.

    Originally [29]posted on June 18th, 2010, the article "Biolab Opens in
    Ukraine" details how [30]Obama, while serving as an Illinois Senator,
    helped negotiate a deal to build a level-3 bio-safety [31]lab in the
    Ukrainian city of Odessa.

    The [32]article, which also highlighted the work of former Senator Dick
    Lugar, was additionally included in [33]Issue No. 818 of the [34]United
    States [35]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.

    USAF Journal.

    A [37]2011 [38]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
    [40]Department of Defense and the Ministry of [41]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 [42]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 [43]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."

    Biolab's pathogens.

    The unearthed biolab facility follows [44]intense scrutiny over the U.S.
    government's decision to fund risky, "gain-of-[45]function" research in
    [46]Wuhan at a [47]Chinese Communist Party-[48]run lab with [49]military
    ties.

    America has been divided since Biden "took" office. Biden and the Democrats are trying to blame Putin for the 70+% hike in gas prices and nearly 8% inflation but all of that was happening well before Putin invaded Ukraine. The biolabs are more smoke and mirrors. Every country has them these days.

    Facebook has little to do with dividing America. It's identity and race politics being pushed by the American left.

    Remember, Hitler got his idea for his racial cleansing from the American progressives in the '30s and '40s with their pushing of eugenics and the founder of Planned Parenthood not liking blacks. So I guess Putin thinks if it's okay that American is pushing the idea, he can too by invading soverign (sp) states.

    Civilitations rarely crumble until they have already self-destructed from within.

    Barbarians trashed Rome, sure, but Romans helped them by removing competent generals and politicians from power, from fear they would become too popular. Go figure.

    facebook wants to get a piece of the manipulation.

    right now black people can say anything to whites. you can't even say
    anything remotely close to racist if you are white.

    infact a few weeks ago i got a ban for telling a guy he's polish.
    he **WAS** polish trying to say he lives in ukraine when he didnt.

    also people on different sides of politics had different things they were measured by. anybody could talk shit about trump or post any photo about trump. they could call him hitler. if you used the word hitler in any other way you get an autoban.

    fb was up our asses deep with the elections. i'm also getting surveys asking me about the elections now. i dont open them.

    My experience is that when a network is hostile to you, it is a matter of time before
    you get kicked out. The only things to do when it becomes really hostile are:

    1) Get out of there

    or

    2) Keep there, and troll up to the boundaries set by the platform, knowing they will
    be waiting for the slightiest of excuses to crush you for good (and if you don't give
    them one, they will invent one eventually)

    A surprising number of people around me is opting for 1). Even people who had a professional use for it. I suspect a big part of that is that Social Media is becoming
    very ineffective for marketing efforts unless you pour more cash than small companies
    are willing to, so people has less of a reason to put up with political correctness.

    That might be so on Twitter. In my observations, race, gender, and identity politics are quite alive and well on other social media, especially
    Instagram (which is owned by Meta now). It's distasteful to me to see
    people flailing about with their "look at me, I'm special!" posts about
    those three issues. They have no bearing on me since I see people as people and not for the color of their skin, what set of genitalia they have (or
    think they have), or any of that. I just don't care.

    I may be old-fashioned in my thinking but I have bigger things to worry
    about.

    As for Russia, the US has a long and infamous history of intefering in elections, especially in Central and South America. So when I see Americans scream "Russia, Russia, Russia!", I laugh because the US is just as guilty
    as Russia with this subject yet most Americans are too stupid to realize it.

    IMNSHO, it's all smoke and mirrors designed to keep us Americans on focusing
    on what we should be focusing on: ourselves.

    The entire world is laughing at America with its pants-shitting, word-salad-creating, lost-in-the-woods leader. The current life in America shows that once again, with a Democrat in office, the country goes to shit.

    generation have an attention span of a goldfish and know nothing else but instant gratification which is why platforms like Twitter are so popular.

    I have been hit with the banhammer a few times on Facebook and am now shadowbanned but I don't care. I have a Twitter account but mainly use it
    for the BBS (@BBSOutpost is my BBS' Twitter account; my personal one is @digimaus).

    I'd much rather use a BBS or amateur radio. Generally an overall better
    class of people to interact with.

    It's funny how all the race politics have tapered down since Russia's cut themselves off from Twitter. A nice little unintended consequence that affirms what people have been saying since 2015.

    That might be so on Twitter. In my observations, race, gender, and identity politics are quite alive and well on other social media, especially Instagram (which is owned by Meta now). It's distasteful to me to see people flailing about with their "look at me, I'm special!" posts about



    i havent seen any decrease in the race politics or hate. if anything i've seen an INCREASE.

    what poindexter says here is something all democrats are saying. they are saying russian bots are the conservatives on social media.

    seriously, russia doenst have to do anything to fuck us up. we are doing a great job of doing it ourselves.

    is fake news coming from all sides and modern technology makes it
    far too easy



    isn't that happening all over the world?

    there's one difference about america. deep deep deep deep down we
    still have what made this country great. if we get kicked around and mandated enough, even a worm will turn.

    It is happening to a lesser degree around the world. States like Russia have almost minimal internal fighting.
    Americans may all want the country to be great, but beither side seems willing to work with the other.

    Well, there was not much fighting in Fascist Spain because Franco ensured disidents were dead or in prison soon after taking power, so it was hard to come out and complain :-)

    From an anthropological point of view, half of America are the heirs of so called "Shame Cultures". Think of really ancient Athens (ie. 4th Century B.C.) where the sense of honor and independence in the citizens was pretty much sacred. All the 2nd Amendment movement can be traced back to these cultures which considered that a free citizen had certain rights by definition, and if the government denied such right, he was not a citizen, but a slave. Being a slave was a shameful thing so they did their best to keep their rights and honor.

    America is the last Western country openly using this as a political point, and is starting to operate as a "Guilt Culture", with concerns regarding personal rights still present, but fading away. Western Europe is a complete Guilt Culture so we will bend over and take it in the ass if we think we can benefit from it, because we don't have a strong notion of shame or honor. This is why we openly throw our rights into the furnace if we think we can obtain something in return.

    You need to look into Asia for other Shame Cultures nowadays, I think.

    Like I said to Kurt, it's not just Facebook. It's all social media
    now.

    Facebook saldy is the biggest and most used of al of the social media

    OH, I realise that and I think Putin is looking west and
    laughing.

    The entire world is laughing at America with its pants-shitting, word-salad-creating, lost-in-the-woods leader. The current life in America shows that once again, with a Democrat in office, the country
    goes to shit.

    That is a perception that I don't see much here. Yes he is frail, but people look up to him.

    I mean, it's bad when you make Jimmy Carter look good.

    I wonder when Biden's going to bring back the "malaise index"?

    I would be in it :)

    You know, during the Bush Jr. era, I would have sworn Spanish conservatives would have sucked his dick if given the chance.

    Then we got Obama, and I think Spanish socialist would have not only sucked his dick, but also taken it up their ass.

    Trump was pretty much watched with either horror or awe, depending on which side of the political spectrum you were.

    However, as far as Spain goes, Biden is a non-entity. Nobody hates him or loves him with the same passion reserved for the others. Président Pedro Sánchez spent a lot of money trying to arrange photo ops so he could be seen alongside Biden, but I think he is the only one who cares.

    Yeah the world seemed to have a glitch then, not only in the US, the UK also had the same with Johnson.

    I don't know what to make of him. He looks frail when leaving AF1, but he seems to have a sharp minbd. Yeah he makes mistakes and I wonder whether his comment to the US troops about seeing Ukrainian soldiers was a slip of something to come
