Pentagon's biological warfare built on war crimes of fascist Japan and Nazi Germany

Russia and China have lobbied the UN Security Council for an independent investigation into dozens of laboratories that were being run by the Pentagon in Ukraine up until Moscow launched its military intervention in February.

Russia has published classified documents showing that the Pentagon was engaged in developing biological weapons of mass destruction. Washington has disputed the Russian and Chinese concerns as "disinformation", claiming that the laboratories were conducting biomedical defense studies into diseases.

Why then was U.S. State Department official Victoria Nuland worried that Russian forces could acquire samples from the labs if they were for innocent biomedical research? Why were the laboratories ordered by the Ukrainian government to immediately destroy samples when Russian troops invaded Ukraine?

Even imminent U.S. experts on biowarfare have concurred with the Russian and Chinese positions that the involvement of the Pentagon in Ukraine implies a sinister purpose that deserves at least impartial investigation.

Adding to the concerns is the direct involvement of Fort Detrick personnel and infrastructure with the Ukrainian facilities in recent years. If we reflect on the World War Two origins of Fort Detrick and how it effectively collaborated with Japanese and Nazi scientists for developing U.S. biological weapons that nefarious historical background undergirds present Russian and Chinese apprehensions.

Following World War Two, Japanese and German war criminals were saved from the gallows by the political intervention of the United States. The immunity deals were made in order to give the U.S. an advantage over the Soviet Union in an anticipated arms race for supremacy in biological and chemical warfare.

President Biden on Friday said his administration is working to make "every vehicle" in the United States military "climate-friendly."

The president, delivering Earth Day remarks from Seward Park in Seattle, Washington, discussed his administration's efforts to address climate change, and called on Congress to take action. Biden quipped:
"One of the things I found out as President of the United States, I get to spend a lot of that money. We're going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly โ€” every vehicle โ€” I mean it. We're spending billions of dollars to do it."
The president said the transition is "going to matter."

Biden, last month, announced his $5.8 trillion budget proposal for 2023, which he said called for one of the "largest investments in our national security in history," including funding to ensure the U.S. military "remains the best-prepared, best-trained, best-equipped military in the world."

The budget proposes $773 billion for the Department of Defense.

EU can't survive a week without Russian gas - Moscow

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday warned that the European Union would not be able to survive next winter without Russian gas. Meanwhile, former Russian head of state Dmitry Medvedev is even more categorical: in his view, Europe would be unable to get through a week without Russian gas.

Amid Russia's ongoing offensive in Ukraine, the EU is discussing a new, sixth, package of sanctions against Moscow, which reportedly might include some restrictions on oil and gas imports from Russia. Russian retaliatory measures could also touch on energy supplies to Europe.

Commenting on a potential drop in gas supplies, Macron has issued a stark warning. He said, in an interview with Ouest France, published on Friday:
"We are not going to see the consequences of this in the spring and summer of 2022 (we have replenished the stocks), but next winter everything will change if there is no more Russian gas. This may be a subject that will come up on the discussion table, it is not there today. Coal and oil are there, gas is not."
The French leader, who polls say is likely to be re-elected, also made clear that a full embargo on Russian gas is not being discussed as the EU fully understands "what enormous difficulties it will create."

Rockefeller Foundation president starts countdown until all hell breaks loose

Rockefeller Foundation President Rajiv Shah told Bloomberg Television's David Westin a "massive, immediate food crisis" is on the horizon.

Shah provides what could be a timeline for the next global food crisis that could begin "in the next six months."

He said global fertilizer supply disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine would have an "even worse" impact on the crisis, slashing crop yields worldwide.

Shah said debt relief and emergency aid for emerging market countries are needed to mitigate the effects of the food crisis.

Shah's appearance on Bloomberg is interesting because of the foundation's repetitive talk about the need for the global food supply to be reset to a more sustainable one. The foundation has closely aligned views with the World Economic Forum (WEF), advocating for a 'global reset'.

Comment: When they talk about it out in the open, the damage has long been done.

Anatomy of a bogus 'disinformation' smear

Justin Ling
© Evan AagaardJustin Ling, freelance investigative journalist
I only just found out that on April 12, this highly prestigious journal ran an article that accuses me of participating in a "Russian disinformation operation." (Gee, never could have guessed that'd be the accusation. How unexpected.) It took awhile for me to learn of this article's existence, because I wasn't contacted ahead of time for any sort of comment or given any chance to reply โ€” apparently a journalistic convention that's fallen out of favor. Oh well.

The journalist who wrote the article is someone named Justin Ling. I had only ever vaguely heard of this person, but after some modest inquiry, now understand that he self-identifies as a "freelance investigative journalist." In this capacity, Ling claims to specialize in issues of "misinformation, conspiracy theories, and extremism." Those who pompously declare themselves to be big media experts in such topics all tend to fit a certain obnoxious mold. Glenn Greenwald has remarked that this newly-concocted journalistic "beat" generally consists of "an unholy mix of junior high hall-monitor tattling and Stasi-like citizen surveillance." NBC News in particular employs a whole dedicated fleet of these people, who โ€” as Greenwald put it:
"devote the bulk of their 'journalism' to searching for online spaces where they believe speech and conduct rules are being violated, flagging them, and then pleading that punitive action be taken (banning, censorship, content regulation, after-school detention)."

Daniel Kovalik: Russia's intervention in Ukraine is legal under international law RT

Ukraine Russia  pieces

The argument can be made that Russia exercised its right for self-defense

For many years, I have studied and given much thought to the UN Charter's prohibition against aggressive war. No one can seriously doubt that the primary purpose of the document - drafted and agreed to on the heels of the horrors of WWII - was and is to prevent war and "to maintain international peace and security," a phrase repeated throughout.

As the Justices at Nuremberg correctly concluded, "To initiate a war of aggression ... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." That is, war is the paramount crime because all of the evils we so abhor - genocide, crimes against humanity, etc. - are the terrible fruits of the tree of war.

In light of the above, I have spent my entire adult life opposing war and foreign intervention. Of course, as an American, I have had ample occasion to do so given that the US is, as Martin Luther King stated, "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world." Similarly, Jimmy Carter recently stated that the US is "the most war-like nation in the history of the world." This is demonstrably true, of course. In my lifetime alone, the US has waged aggressive and unprovoked wars against countries such as Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the former Yugoslavia, Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, Libya, and Somalia. And this doesn't even count the numerous proxy wars the US has fought via surrogates (e.g., through the Contras in Nicaragua, various jihadist groups in Syria, and through Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the ongoing war against Yemen).

Comparing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris approval ratings - steady downturns for both

The majority of Americans disapprove of both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a set of devastating analyses for the Democrats.

The approval polling tracker at FiveThirtyEight โ€” which takes a weighted average of the polls โ€” is recording a steady downward approval trend for the pair.

According to FiveThirtyEight, Harris has experienced a sharp decline in her approval ratings, with an updated average on April 21 that showed 58.1 percent disapprove of Harris compared to 32.1 percent who find her to be favorable, a -26 percent net rating.

The sudden spike reflects an outlying April 18-20 poll carried out by the Trafalgar Group, a partisan pollster for the Republican party which FiveThirtyEight rates as A-, that found 63 percent of participants disapproved of Harris.

The Moskva Riddle

Neither NATO nor Russia is telling us what really happened with the Moskva, the legendary admiral ship of the Black Sea fleet.

NATO because in theory, they know. Moscow, for its part, made it clear they are not saying anything until they can be sure what happened.

One thing is certain. If the Russian Ministry of Defense finds out that NATO did it, they will let loose all the dogs from Hell on NATO, as in "asymmetrical, lethal and fast".

On Moskva's location: it was positioned near one of 3 drilling rigs, used for monitoring a whole sector of the Black Sea with hydrophones and NEVA-BS radar, the most westward one, BK-2 Odessa, approximately 66 km northeast from Snake Island. The whole thing was integrated in the regional monitoring systems. As in everything, literally, was monitored: ships, low flying targets, smaller echoes, even the bobbing head of an unsuspecting swimmer.

So there was a quite slim chance that anything - not to mention subsonic Neptune missiles and Bayraktar drones - could have slipped through this aerial net.

So what could have possibly happened?

Mass grave found near French military base in Mali, Russia calls for 'thorough investigation'

The Western media might be tempted to blame the Malian Army for alleged atrocities after a mass grave was found near a camp of the French forces in central Mali, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday, as it called for a thorough probe into the matter.

"We support the decision of the Mali authorities to investigate the circumstances of this crime in the most thorough way," the ministry said, adding that it expects "Paris to effectively contribute to the probes into murders and disappearance of the Malian citizens."

The statement came just days after videos surfaced on social media that supposedly show a mass grave with dozens of bodies being discovered in a military camp once occupied by French forces taking part in Operation Barkhane in Mali and neighboring African nations.

The Malian Army (FAMA) confirmed late Friday that they discovered a mass grave near the former French camp in Gossi, central Mali. The French forces left the "advanced operational base" on Tuesday and handed it over to the Malian military. The base reportedly hosted hundreds of French soldiers.
