A US-funded biomedical laboratory in Georgia may have conducted bioweapons research under the guise of a drug test, which claimed the lives of at least 73 subjects, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The question of what really might have taken place at the secretive US-sponsored research facility hosted by Russia's southern neighbor was raised by the Russian military on Thursday after they studied files published online by a former Georgian minister.

The documents record the deaths of 73 people over a short period of time, indicating a test of "a highly toxic chemical or biological agents with high lethality rate," said Igor Kirillov, commander of the Russian military branch responsible for defending troops from radiological, chemical and biological weapons.

Arguing that Republicans have shown nothing but respect for the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, Senator Lindsey Graham brought up a quote from the 1990s. But some reporters didn't get it.

Speaking at The Atlantic Festival on Wednesday, Graham (R-South Carolina) was asked about President Donald Trump's alleged mockery of Christine Blasey-Ford at a Mississippi rally the night before..

"Everything he said was factually true," Graham retorted, adding that Ford has been treated with utmost courtesy by both Trump and the Republican senators. Contrast that, he said, with "This is what happens when you go through a trailer park with a $100 bill."

'Grassroots' outrage? George Soros Funds The Activists Behind Anti-Kavanaugh Campaign

Demonstrators protest US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in the Russell Senate Office building on Capitol Hill

Moving videos of women confronting senators over Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination have been framed as grassroots activism, but they were actually made by an organization that receives massive funding from George Soros.

A number of videos have surfaced in recent days showing activists giving Republican senators an earful about their support for Kavanaugh's nomination. The most piercing of these interactions came last week, when Republican Senator Jeff Flake was confronted at the US Capitol by two women who said they were survivors of sexual assault.

The two women berated Flake for voicing support for the nominee, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault and misconduct. Flake appeared visibly unsettled in the video, and he acknowledged that the interaction may have influenced his decision to press for an FBI probe into the allegations.

Comment: On Ana Maria Archila, the Gateway Pundit reports:

Thanks to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez we now know Ana Maria Archila is an [alleged] illegal alien.

Via The College Fix:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist and rising star within the Democrat Party, called Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh a liar in a speech to Boston University college students on Monday...

...She went on to hail "activism" as the solution, and boasted to the crowd that one of the women who had cornered judiciary committee member Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) in an elevator and yelled at him for several minutes after he agreed to vote "yes" on Kavanaugh was from her district.

"Ana Maria Archila is from our district, is from Queens," Ocasio-Cortez, prompting a round of applause. "In fact, she is an immigration activist, which just goes to show intersectionality and how interwoven all of these fights are. Because she is putting everything on the line and risking deportation ... not even for a direct immigration action but for the action of all survivors. And that's how we need to be. We need to be championing the causes of our neighbors. That is what creates power and movement, coalition building."
So we now have illegal alien Soros-paid activists influencing the Supreme Court confirmation process.

Mafia den: Over $1 trillion was laundered through Estonia (pop. 1 million) between 2008 and 2017

Estonia may be the world's money-laundering capital. The small Baltic country is caught up in a huge corruption scandal following a US Department of Justice investigation.

The Estonian branch of Danish Danske Bank is at the center of a €200-billion ($230-billion) money-laundering scandal. The bank said it had "received requests for information from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with a criminal investigation relating to the bank's Estonian branch conducted by the DOJ," and was cooperating.

Last month, the bank reported that it tracked a total of $230 billion in "suspicious" operations through its Estonian branch between 2007 and 2015. The Estonian central bank has admitted that it saw more than $1 trillion in money flows between 2008 and 2017.

Comment: The DOJ was actually trying to target Russian money laundering when they submitted their requests to Danske, however, it appears they've opened a can of worms given the likely European sources within the much bigger $1 trillion being laundered.

NATO chief maintains Georgia will join the alliance 'one day'

Wed, 03 Oct 2018 18:18 UTC

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg speaks to reporters in Brussels on October 3.

Georgia will one day join the alliance, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, 10 years after the Western military organization first promised the South Caucasus country it would become a member.

"NATO's door remains open," Stoltenberg said in Brussels on October 3 after chairing a meeting between Georgian and NATO defense ministers.

At a 2008 summit in Bucharest, NATO agreed that Georgia will eventually become a NATO member, but no firm date has been set, although the membership perspective for the country has been reconfirmed at every summit ever since.

Stoltenberg said the NATO allies "welcomed the continued progress Georgia is making on reforms, in particular on more effective security and defense institutions and modernizing their armed forces."

Comment: NATO sees Georgia as a pawn in their game against Russia, and Georgia is a willing instrument. It's too bad for NATO that Russia doesn't roll over so easily.

Take it outside! The "Smoke-free Alaska" law went into effect Monday, ensuring smoke-free workplaces and public places across the state. The measure extends an existing ban on smoking in public workplaces to private businesses.

Gov. Bill Walker signed Senate Bill 63 into law at a ceremony at Anchorage's Lucky Wishbone restaurant in July.

More than 25 years ago, the Lucky Wishbone was the first business in Anchorage to go smoke-free on April 19, 1990.

As of Monday, under the new ban, businesses must:

Post no smoking or vaping signs in plain view at all major entrances
Remove all ashtrays
Ask anyone smoking or vaping indoors to stop and go outside

Dr. Jay Butler is the State of Alaska Chief Medical Officer and praises the ban, saying the rules are based on science, protecting Alaskans' health and save money.

The US is withdrawing from the "optional protocol" in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, John Bolton has confirmed. He said it follows a case brought by Palestine, challenging the US embassy's move to Jerusalem.

"I am announcing that the president has decided that the United States will withdraw from the optional protocol and dispute resolution to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations," Bolton said.

"This is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of Palestine, naming the United States as the defendant, challenging our move of our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."

McConnell shoots down Schumer request for briefing on Kavanaugh FBI investigation

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., refused a request Wednesday by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for senators to receive an FBI-led briefing on its investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Schumer asked that the FBI agents charged with conducting a supplemental background check into Kavanaugh amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct talk to senators about their findings before a vote on the judge's confirmation in both a Tuesday letter and a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday.

McConnell responded in a letter to his counterpart that such a briefing would be "unprecedented and irregular" under the memorandum of understanding between the Senate Judiciary Committee and the White House that governs how the results of background investigations for judicial nominees are handled.

Faith, power, money: How Western meddling is corrupting Ukraine's Orthodox Church

One of the most contentious and significant controversies in the world today is also one of the least-well understood.

In part, this is because it involves matters of faith and church governance, the importance of which many people, especially some of a secular mind who scorn mere "religion," tend to underestimate.

That is a mistake, certainly with respect to the storm that seems on the verge of plunging Ukraine into a new cycle of violence. That may happen if, as seems quite possible, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople recognizes an "autocephalous" (completely self-ruling) Orthodox Church in Ukraine over the objections of the Russian Orthodox Church, of which the Ukrainian Church is an integral part.

This question is often misreported in the Western media as Constantinople's response to a request from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for autocephaly. This is inaccurate. The only Ukrainian Orthodox body recognized as canonical by the rest of the Orthodox Christian world - even including Constantinople at this point - is the autonomous part of the Russian Orthodox Church under the authority of Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev, which is not asking for autocephaly.

FBI report on Kavanaugh near completion; Senators to access single copy in Judiciary Committee safe

The FBI is nearly finished with their supplemental report on sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, after which they will send a single copy to Capitol Hill where it will be held in a Senate Judiciary Committee safe, two senior Senate sources told Fox News on Wednesday.

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Il), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said that preparations are underway to review the report on Thursday, while Republicans are putting strict limits on the viewing.

According to Durbin, the one copy will be taken from the safe and made available to senators - with each party taking turns viewing it in one-hour increments.

"Get this - one copy! For the United States Senate," he said. "That's what we were told. And we were also that we would be given one hour for the Dems, one hour for the Republicans. Alternating.

"We tried to reserve some time to read it. That is ridiculous," he said. "One copy?!"

"Bizarre, it doesn't make any sense," he added. -The Hill
