Flashback Best of the Web: As Ukrainians call for Moscow intervention, EU 'foreign minister' Catherine Ashton justifies Kiev junta bloodshed: "The state's monopoly on the legitimate use of violence needs to be respected"

Ashton: "It's ok for my boys to kill unarmed civilians, but Yanukovych couldn't arm his forces against armed thugs..."
Kiev's government and its western allies bear full responsibility for the recent bloodshed in Ukraine, Russia's presidential spokesman has said, adding it is now impossible to convince people in the region to disarm because their lives are under threat.

Spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, released an official statement following the tragic events in Odessa. 39 anti-government activists have died in a fire at the Trade Unions House there, after the building was set ablaze by pro-Kiev radicals. Some anti-Kiev protesters burned to death, while others suffocated or jumped out of windows, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said.

"The authorities in Kiev not only bear direct responsibility, but are complicit in these criminal activities. Their arms are up to the elbows in blood," Peskov said.

He said the tragedy in Odessa was the product of "the connivance of those who consider themselves the authority in Kiev."

Flashback Best of the Web: Ethnic-Specific Weapons: Leaked Documents Reveal US Diplomats in Georgia Trafficking Human Blood And Pathogens For Pentagon Biowarfare Laboratory


Comment: The following is another explosive investigative report from Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, who previously reported on US (and allied) diplomatic flights transporting weapons to ISIS and US bioweapons facilities around the world. We interviewed her here.

The US Embassy to Tbilisi transports frozen human blood and pathogens as diplomatic cargo for a secret US military program. Internal documents, implicating US diplomats in the transportation of, and experimenting on, pathogens under diplomatic cover, were leaked to me by Georgian insiders. According to these documents, Pentagon scientists have been deployed to the Republic of Georgia and have been given diplomatic immunity to research deadly diseases and biting insects at the Lugar Center - the Pentagon biolaboratory in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.

This military facility is just one of the many Pentagon biolaboratories in 25 countries across the world. They are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $2.1 billion military program - 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.

Everyone has a good idea of the kinds of high technology available to governments today.

The only question you need to ask yourself is: would the US/Western deep state govt be insane enough to really go down this route of biological warfare targeting enemy populations, in this case Russians?

Judging by the anti-Russia black propaganda and dirty tricks we've seen in recent years, they certainly seem motivated enough to do it.

Flashback Best of the Web: Documents expose US biological experiments on allied soldiers in Ukraine and Georgia

Comment: With friends like these...


While the US is planning to increase its military presence in Eastern Europe to "protect its allies against Russia", internal documents show what American "protection" in practical terms means.

The Pentagon has conducted biological experiments with a potentially lethal outcome on 4,400 soldiers in Ukraine and 1,000 soldiers in Georgia. According to leaked documents, all volunteer deaths should be reported within 24 h (in Ukraine) and 48 h (in Georgia).

Both countries are considered the most loyal US partners in the region with a number of Pentagon programs being implemented in their territory. One of them is the $2.5 billion Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Biological engagement program which includes research on bio agents, deadly viruses and antibiotic-resistant bacteria being studied on the local population.

Project GG-21: "All volunteer deaths will be promptly reported"

The Pentagon has launched a 5-year long project with a possible extension of up to 3 years code-named GG-21: "Arthropod-borne and zoonotic infections among military personnel in Georgia". According to the project's description, blood samples will be obtained from 1,000 military recruits at the time of their military registration physical exam at the Georgian military hospital located in Gori.

Comment: So, the U.S.' biggest "allies" in Eastern Europe (and right near Russia's borders) are essentially guinea pigs in the U.S.' developing biological warfare plans against Russia, and probably elsewhere.

Best of the Web: Oopsie: Pfizer vaccine is reverse transcribed intracellularly into the genome of human cells in as fast as 6 hours upon exposure, study

coronavirus covid-19 vaccine
Alden et al: Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line; the criminal Pfizer and Moderna should have done the trials...this is a huge problem for while in vitro, this is very troubling and we did not study this.

'BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.'

Abstract:
Preclinical studies of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, showed reversible hepatic effects in animals that received the BNT162b2 injection. Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells. We detected high levels of BNT162b2 in Huh7 cells and changes in gene expression of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is an endogenous reverse transcriptase.

Immunohistochemistry using antibody binding to LINE-1 open reading frame-1 RNA-binding protein (ORFp1) on Huh7 cells treated with BNT162b2 indicated increased nucleus distribution of LINE-1. PCR on genomic DNA of Huh7 cells exposed to BNT162b2 amplified the DNA sequence unique to BNT162b2. Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure.

Comment: As soon as the mRNA vaccines were announced, the possibility of the mRNA being incorporated into the human genome was brought up by various experts as being a concern. They were pooh-poohed, silenced or smeared. Now it's no longer a theoretical concern - it's been shown to be true. What the consequences to vaccinees will be is anyone's guess.

Best of the Web: Did Trudeau back down from Emergencies Act because banks were screaming about massive withdrawals?

trudeau tweet
Based upon reliable sources, Trudeau has been forced to abandon his Emergency Act as a staggering amount of money has fled Canadian banks. Canadians have moved accounts to the United States by the tens of thousands following Trudeau's freezing bank accounts without a court order which has even included credit cards. Canadians began withdrawing all of their money from their bank accounts with most turning to cash, others to gold, and some to BitCoin. The demand for US dollars more than tripled in the past week.

The sheer amount of money withdrawals from Canadian banks was massive. There appears to have been a 500% increase just in the previous 24 hours. This is the problem with politicians. They are simply UNQUALIFIED to make such decisions. They have no idea that freezing accounts will undermine the confidence in the banking system.

Trudeau has created a very serious crisis and just rescinding his Emergency Act is not going to make it all better. Trudeau has driven a stake through the heart of the Canadian economy and that means that international capital will be skeptical about trusting Canada as long a Trudeau is in power.

Comment: The amount of hubris needed on the part of Trudeau and his cronies to not be able to see this coming is staggering. Of course people are going to pull their money out of banks if they are suddenly made aware of the fact that their money is not safe there! And who would feel safe knowing their assets could be seized because the government doesn't like your person politics? This also explains the mysterious banking outages that were happening last week. While some tried to explain it as people who'd had their accounts frozen mistakenly reporting it as outages, it now looks like it was very likely a bank run.

Best of the Web: Moscow: War in Ukraine started 8 years ago, Russia is now ending it

Russia's Foreign Ministry says it wants to end the 8-year bloodbath in Donbass that both Ukraine and the West turned a blind eye to

The West spent eight years ignoring the "sea of blood" in Donbass while arming Ukraine, and now claims Moscow is the aggressor when it stepped in to end the conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RT on Thursday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday, claiming it was necessary to "demilitarize and de-nazify" the neighbor. Kiev accused Russia of aggression, while the US, EU and NATO have called it an "unprovoked" invasion. Moscow insists this is not the case.

Best of the Web: President Putin didn't spark World War III, he just averted it

biden russia america us
© One World
A much larger war that could dangerously escalate into World War III was averted by Russia's preemptive special operation in Ukraine aimed at neutralizing the US and NATO's latent, imminent, and hot threats emanating from that country. This makes Moscow's military mission truly a peacemaking one since the Eurasian Great Power responsibly sought to prevent World War III, not spark it. Russia truly had no choice but to act now.

The US-led Western Mainstream Media's latest information warfare narrative against Russia is that President Putin just sparked World War III, but the reality is that he just averted it. The Russian leader's address to his people on early Thursday morning made that abundantly clear and should be in full by those who truly want to know the truth about what just happened. As the author explained in his latest analyses about how "Russia's 'Shock & Awe' Campaign In Ukraine Aims To Resolve The European Missile Crisis" and "Russia's Special Operation In Ukraine Will Restore Global Strategic Stability", as well as his piece "Tracing The Geostrategic Sequence Of The US' Attempted Containment Of Russia", the Eurasian Great Power is simply waging a preemptive war before the US' planned World War III can begin.

Best of the Web: Trudeau's government orders Canadian banks to unfreeze bank accounts of people who participated in or donated to Freedom Convoy

Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland defended the financial freezings saying: 'These measures were put in place to disrupt illegal activity in Canada.' She is pictured during a news conference Monday.
Canada has ordered banks to unlock accounts belonging to people who participated in or supported the weeks-long Freedom Convoy protest that saw near 200 arrests and brutal force response from police.

'They started [Monday] to unfreeze accounts,' Isabelle Jacques, a senior official in Canada's finance department, told lawmakers Tuesday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The move came after liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government froze bank accounts and other assets during what leaders declared an 'emergency period' in Ottawa.

Best of the Web: After Covid, we must embrace critical thinking again

covid on horses

I'll never forget the most valuable lesson I learned during my first year at university, taught to me by a literature professor who had fled the USSR: All totalitarian regimes throughout history have shared one key trait - they control all knowledge. This is essential to their success, because if you can't control what information the public can access, then you can't effectively control a population.

"If you ever give up your right to freedom of information," he would frequently remind me, "all of your freedom will be gone. You've lost everything." This stuck with me and, over the next four years, I was fortunate to have a few great professors who expanded on it by teaching me how to keep that freedom. To be free, you must first learn how to think.

Freedom must be fought-for and preserved in a variety of ways but, if you don't first know how to think, you won't even recognize when your freedom is being taken away in the first place. As my professor explained, "For a people to be free and remain free, each person must recognize that he or she is an individual capable of independent thought, and learn to think critically about all subjects." Anything less than that leads to regurgitating memorized information that may or may not be true.
