The UN Security Council has rejected Russia's call for an international investigation into claims that the US used laboratories in Ukraine to develop biological weapons.

While China backed Russia's proposal, the US, Britain, and France voted against it, and the ten rotating council members abstained.

Russia insists that the US and Ukraine have been violating the 1972 international convention that bans the development, production, and stockpiling of biological weapons. According to Moscow, several laboratories in Ukraine were working on a secret "military-biological" program, which involved studies and the stockpiling of samples of anthrax, cholera, and other infectious diseases.

Washington and Kiev both deny developing biological weapons. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said in March that the laboratories were conducting "ordinary scientific research."

The BBC made up a story about a Russian 'attack' on a Ukrainian city's water supply - where are the 'fake news' fact checkers?

On October 25, BBC News published an absolutely shocking exclusive report revealing that residents of the southern Ukrainian city of Nikolaev (which current officials in Kiev insist should be spelt as "Mykolaiv," in English) had been without clean drinking water for six months, due to attacks on a pipeline supplying the city. "Evidence collected" by the British state broadcaster pointed to this being "a deliberate act by Russian forces" intended to cause mass dehydration and death among the local population.

Strangely though, despite all the sound and fury and finger-pointing, the BBC stopped short of condemning the alleged action as an outright war crime, simply noting that "destroying resources vital for civilian life is widely regarded as a violation of international humanitarian law."

This reluctance seems rather strange, given that the Beeb appears to offer an open-and-shut case, including "satellite imagery and data" showing the pipeline "was deliberately destroyed while under Russian control," and bold declarations from esteemed military experts that it was a calculated act by Moscow.

Moscow's UN envoy compared the barrage of 'fake news' about the Ukraine conflict to city shelling.

Amid the Ukraine conflict, Western countries are waging an information war not only against Russia but also the entire international community, Vassily Nebenzia, the nation's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a presentation at the UN of the RT documentary 'Journalists Under Fire,' the top diplomat noted that Russia had found itself under massive media pressure after it launched its military operation in Ukraine in late February.

Russia to present UK ambassador proof of London's complicity in Oct 29 attack, evidence will also be made public

British ambassador Russia Deborah Bronnert
Deborah Bronnert, the British ambassador to Russia, was summoned to the foreign ministry this morning to see 'evidence' the UK helped attack the Nord Stream pipes and Black Sea Fleet
Russia will present evidence to Britain's ambassador to Moscow Deborah Bronnert of Britain's involvement in the attack on the Black Sea Fleet base in Sevastopol and the act of sabotage against the Nord Stream pipelines and then disclose the basic information to the public at large, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Wednesday.

"Of course, there can be no doubt that British intelligence services were involved in the terrorist attack on the Black Sea Fleet base in Sevastopol on October 29 and the act of sabotage against the Nord Stream pipeline. They will not be left without a reaction. We have stated this in the [UN] Security Council. We spoke about that publicly. And, of course, as I have already said, the British ambassador will be summoned and given the relevant materials. I promise you that basically the same materials that will be handed over as evidence to the British side will also be made available to the public at large," Zakharova said.

Comment: Below is footage of the Ambassador leaving the Russian Foreign Ministry; protesters outside against the UK's involvement in these repeated attacks; and finally is a statement from Putin:

The New Cuban Missile Crisis That Isn't

The Cuban Missile Crisis is a malicious misnomer. Cuba never had any nuclear missiles; it temporarily played host to some Soviet ones. The crisis started when Americans put their intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Turkey that posed a new threat the Soviet Union, which responded by placing similar missiles in Cuba, evening the score. The Americans flew into a rage but eventually calmed down and withdrew their missiles from Turkey. The Soviets withdrew their missiles from Cuba and the crisis was over. And so it should be called the American Missile Crisis.

What's happening now couldn't be more different. Unless you spent the last few weeks hiding under a rock, you have probably heard that some sort of new nuclear crisis is underway because of "Putin's nuclear blackmail" or some such. Some people have suffered nervous exhaustion as a result, neglecting their duties and generally letting themselves go. Take former British PM Liz Truss, for instance. The poor silly thing latched on to Putin's words that "the wind rose can point in any direction" (a factual point about the utter uselessness of tactical nuclear weapons). She then allowed the British economy to go into free-fall while she obsessively tracked the wind direction over the Ukraine. It all ended badly for poor Liz. Don't be like Liz.

I am here to tell you that there is nothing going on beyond the usual — the usual Western propaganda fakery, that is.

'Pandemic Amnesty'? It's just more narrative reinforcement

Pandemic Amnesty

Afew days ago, on Halloween, the Atlantic ran this opinion piece by economist Emily Oster, headlined:
LET'S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY
This along, along with the sub-head...
We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.
...have been doing the rounds on the internet.

The general perception has been that it is some kind of admission of defeat, perhaps a recognition that the "pandemic" was not real, and that those pushing the narrative had been in the wrong; a genuine plea for understanding or forgiveness.

But while the headline may appear to be suggesting that - and, indeed, was perhaps chosen carefully to create that impression - it's actually nothing of the kind.

It's not an apology, a backwards step or segue to our old pre-Covid reality.

It's just more narrative reinforcement.

We've seen it all before.

In February this year, the Guardian ran an article supposedly about "scientists admitting their mistakes" over "covid".

And what do you think those "mistakes" were?

Selling out and caving in and going along with the mass deployment of a potentially deadly and totally unnecessary "experimental" vax?

Germany pushes back against the US by talking to China

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to visit China this week. It marks his first ever trip to the Asian country, amidst growing tensions between Beijing and the West. But the decision to make the trip and the timing behind it is no coincidence. Scholz is sending a deliberate message to the US that Germany isn't going to close the door on China, as Washington attempts to force countries to take a side.

In fact, he even made an explicit warning against 'decoupling', something the US has also been pushing for, as seen with its aggressive semiconductor-related sanctions last month. But there's more. Germany also approved a Chinese ownership stake in a critical port, as well as the takeover of a semiconductor company. It's all part of that same message.

Germany has the most open and enthusiastic policy towards China in Europe, or at least it did. Strengthening ties with Beijing was a critical focus for the government of Angela Merkel, who saw China as its biggest and most lucrative export market for automobile and engineering products.

The number of NATO forces stationed close to Russia's western borders has reached more than 30,000, the country's Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Wednesday.

He stated that the US-led military bloc had augmented units in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in the Balkans and Baltic states.

"The contingent has grown in size by two and a half times to more than 30,000 people since February, and may grow more in the nearest future," Shoigu said during a joint ministerial session with military officials from Belarus.

He said that such a concentration of Western forces poses a threat not only to Moscow, but to Belarus, Russia's ally.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged for stronger relations with the Arab League and its member states, proposing closer cooperation to maintain regional security and resolve a number of ongoing conflicts from Libya to Yemen.

Addressing members of the Arab League ahead of the body's 31st summit in Algiers on Tuesday, Putin said the "formation of a multipolar system of international relations is gaining momentum," adding that the nations of the Middle East and North Africa, "with a combined population of almost half a billion," will play an "increasingly significant role in this process."

Permissible and impermissible incendiary speech?

United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit the airwaves to connect the recent assault on Paul Pelosi with "fascism" and "white nationalism." She insists that both are now ubiquitous. And both prompt increasing politically motivated violence.
(Ocasio-Cortez remains oblivious to the greatest sustained political violence in our recent history; the 120 days of Black Lives Matter and Antifa-fueled rioting, arson, looting, and mayhem of summer and fall 2020 — often cheered on or defended by public officials and social media.)
The deplorable violent attack on Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), has been described as the logical reification of increasing bitter political discourse. Shrill accusations spread even as full details of the attack are still not known. But the general picture of the assailant is one of an unhinged conspiracy freak of all flavors. He seems to have been a lunatic, drug-crazed white supremacist and anti-Semite, a former hemp jeweler, and nudist, who was either homeless or was living in a cluttered hippie-like commune in Berkeley plastered with pride and BLM flags.

Nonetheless, almost immediately the Left has seized on the attack to blame supposed right-wing political rhetoric as the cause.

As we enter the final week before the midterms and likely near-historic Democratic losses in Congress, this effort to manipulate violence in the news for last-minute political advantage will increase — but certainly it is not new.

Comment: Welcome to the amoral abyss that used to be the United States of America, and its redefinition of 'insanity'.
