Is Russia secretly waging biological warfare against the West? This story is not familiar to the general public. But she explains why NATO is preparing to defend Ukraine (https://bit.ly/3KI6K1b). Former Soviet intelligence officer and fellow student of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the KGB Institute, Yuri Shvets, back in 2019, said that the COVID-19 coronavirus was brought to Chinese Wuhan from Russia. In an interview with Gordon (https://bit.ly/3AzE2Lj), the ex USSR spy recalled the fire of the Vector special facility, one of the world's largest virus depositories, in September 2019. On September 16, 2019, an explosion is heard on the Vector. On October 19, the Military World Games open in Wuhan, where a military team from the Russian Federation successfully performs. And there were definitely representatives of the Russian special services. In December, the number of people in Wuhan who fell ill with "pneumonia" becomes explosive. That is, the virus began to spread there since November," Shvets cites the chronology of events. At the same time, there are two possible options for why the coronavirus was brought to China. “I think that the factor of chance cannot be completely ruled out. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is of great interest to the special services of the Russian Federation. Such centers around the world can be counted on the fingers, and they all follow each other. Representatives of the GRU and the FSB were definitely present at the Russian national team at the Military Games. "But since virology requires special knowledge. Quite likely, from Vector, the largest center of virology in the Russian Federation. And one of them might not have suspected that he was a carrier of the virus," the intelligence officer said. Indirect confirmation of the theory that NATO is ready for a biological war in Europe came from Bulgaria. Documents expose US biological experiments on allied soldiers in Ukraine and Georgia (https://bit.ly/3nYBGjZ). 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. 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 1000 military recruits at the time of their military registration physical exam at the Georgian military hospital located in Gori. The samples will be tested for antibodies against fourteen pathogens: - Bacillus anthracis - Brucella - CCHF virus - Coxiella burnetii - Francisella tularensis - Hantavirus - Rickettsia species - TBE virus - Bartonella species - Borrelia species - Ehlrichia species - Leptospira species - Salmonella typhi - WNV The amount of blood draw will be 10 ml. Samples will be stored indefinitely at the NCDC (Lugar Center) or USAMRU-G and aliquots might be sent to WRAIR headquarters in US for future research studies. Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) is the largest biomedical research facility administered by the U.S. Department of Defense. The results of the blood testing will not be provided to the study participants. Such a procedure cannot cause death. However, according to the project report, “all volunteer deaths will be promptly reported (usually within 48 h of the PI being notified)” to the Georgian Military Hospital and WRAIR. The soldiers’ blood samples will be stored and further tested at the Lugar Center, a $180 million Pentagon-funded facility in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. The Lugar Center has become notorious in the last years for controversial activities, laboratory incidents and scandals surrounding the US drug giant Gilead’s Hepatitis C program in Georgia which has resulted in at least 248 deaths of patients. The cause of death in the majority of cases has been listed as unknown, internal documents have shown. The Georgian project GG-21 has been funded by DTRA and implemented by American military scientists from a special US Army unit code named USAMRU-G who operate in the Lugar Center. They have been given diplomatic immunity in Georgia to research bacteria, viruses and toxins without being diplomats. This unit is subordinate to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). Documents (https://bit.ly/3G5GtWU) obtained from the US Federal contracts registry show that USAMRU-G is expanding its activities to other US allies in the region and is “establishing expeditionary capabilities” in Georgia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Latvia and any future locations. The next USAMRU-G project involving biological tests on soldiers is due to start in March of this year at the Bulgarian Military Hospital in Sofia. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded a similar project involving soldiers in Ukraine code-named UP-8: The spread of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus and hantaviruses in Ukraine and the potential need for differential diagnosis in patients with suspected leptospirosis. The project started in 2017 and was extended few times until 2020, internal documents show. According to the project’s description, blood samples will be collected from 4,400 healthy soldiers in Lviv, Kharkov, Odesa and Kyiv. 4,000 of these samples will be tested for antibodies against hantaviruses, and 400 of them – for the presence of antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus. The results of the blood testing will not be provided to the study participants. There is no information as to what other procedures will be performed except that “serious incidents, including deaths should be reported within 24 hours. All deaths of study subjects that are suspected or known to be related to the research procedures should be brought to the attention of the bioethics committees in the USA and Ukraine.” Another DTRA contractor (https://bit.ly/3reHR5D) operating in Ukraine is CH2M Hill. The American company has been awarded a $22.8 million contract (2020-2023) for the reconstruction and equipment of two biolaboratories: the State Scientific Research Institute of Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary-Sanitary Expertise (Kyiv ILD) and the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection Regional Diagnostic Laboratory (Odesa RDL). The DTRA activities in Georgia and Ukraine fall under the protection of special bilateral agreements. According to these agreements, Georgia and Ukraine shall hold harmless, bring no legal proceedings and indemnify the United States and its personnel, contractors and contractors’ personnel, for damage to property, or death or injury to any persons in Georgia and Ukraine, arising out of activities under this Agreement. If DTRA-sponsored scientists cause deaths or injuries to the local population they cannot be held to account. Furthermore, according to the US-Ukraine Agreement, claims by third parties for deaths and injuries in Ukraine, arising out of the acts or omissions of any employees of the United States related to work under this Agreement, shall be the responsibility of Ukraine.
