As Russian troops entered Ukraine, the government in Kiev ordered the“emergency destruction” of pathogens including plague and anthrax at US-funded laboratories near the Russian border, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow claimed on Sunday. Earlier rumors that the Russian military was targeting US-run biolabs were written off as conspiracy theories, but the ministry has promised to back up its claims with documents.
“We have received documentation from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories on the emergency destruction on February 24 of especially dangerous pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases,” read a statement from the ministry.
The statement accused the “Kiev regime” of conducting an “emergency cleansing” to hide evidence of the supposed biological weapons program, which the ministry claimed was funded by the US, and involved the production of “biological weapons components” at at least two laboratories in the cities of Poltava and Kharkov, both of which have seen intense fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces in recent days.
The documents published by the ministry purportedly include an order from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health to destroy the pathogens, and lists of the germs in question.
RT can not independently verify the authenticity of these documents. Russia’s Defense Ministry said that they are currently being analyzed by radiation, chemical and biological protection specialists.
“In the near future we will present the results of the analysis,” the ministry said, adding that it believes the documents will prove that Ukraine and the US were violating Article 1 of the UN Biological Weapons Convention. The US, Ukraine and Russia are among more than 180 parties to this treaty, and under Article 1 of the agreement, all parties agree “never under any circumstances to develop, produce, stockpile, acquire, or retain” biological weapons.
As of the moment of this article’s publication, Washington has not commented on the ministry’s claims, and neither has Kiev.
In the initial days of Russia’s military offensive last month, claims circulated online that Russia was targeting western-funded biolabs with missile strikes. These allegations were never verified and were derided by western sources as conspiracy theories, although the Pentagon has publicly stated that it works with the Ukrainian government to “consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern in Ukrainian government facilities,” for “peaceful research and vaccine development,” according to the US embassy in Kiev.

Hands off ‘our hemisphere’ or Venezuela pays the price: US Senator warns Russia
RT | February 13, 2019
The US staked a claim on half the world, as Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jim Inhofe said Washington might have to intervene in Venezuela if Russia dares set up a military base not just there, but “in our hemisphere.”
“I think that it could happen,” Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) told a group of reporters on Tuesday. “You’ve got a guy down there that is killing everybody. You could have him put together a base that Russia would have on our hemisphere. And if those things happen, it may be to the point where we’ll have to intervene with troops and respond.”
Should Russia dare encroach on the US’ neck of the woods, Inhofe said: “we have to take whatever action necessary to stop them from doing that.” … continue

The American people cannot trust their leaders/Presidents, who have led the USA into wars all around the World since the end of WWII. And it has now come to light that the USA is backing “Biological Warfare” laboratories all over the World.
The American government have no problem provoking/staring wars everywhere, but, it is the American people who have to lose their lives fighting them.
Tell your government, NO MORE WARS! To Hell with the Military Industrial Complex.

Your Federal Members of Congress Have to swear allegiance to Israel when they get elected(see Christine McKinney(?)……..She refused, and was expelled/forced to resign……The USA has been taken over, from within….”The Most Powerful Nation on Earth is “riddled” with “White Ants”…….
And everyone seems to accept it without question….??? Even the President’s Plane is painted in Israel’s colours…(light blue and white) or hasn’t anyone noticed?

Actually, I never noticed the color of the president’s plane. It was just a plane to me. Disgusting. The jews should have
been excluded from our Constitution as many notable Americans have stated.

When that netanyahu would show up and give some speech in our Congress, he and others would watch to see who was not
clapping. If the jews have bombs planted all over our country, who cares if it gets rid of them. I remember Cynthia McKinney
went with a flotilla to Palestine to bring aid and the bolcheviks basically attacked the boat.
No government in the world allows a dual citizen to serve in its government, as it takes the sovereign out of sovereignty so get
rid of the duallys and get rid of the parasites. Did Cynthia McKinney HAVE to step down? Could she not have weathered the
storm.

I don’t know the fine points of her exit from Congress, but I think she was forced out. Americans should be able to search it.
“They” have such a grip on “those at the top” no one dares to upset them. I think they love to “dig dirt on Congressmen and women,(and offer them bribes) and then hold “POWER” over them so they dare not get exposed for their “dirty deeds”……..
If you’ve ever read about the guy who ran the FBI for about 50 years(J Edgar Hoover), He had ‘DIRT FILES” on everyone famous in America, and used them to get what he wanted from them. Even Presidents were terrified of him……
That is how the CIA work as well(and these days it’s ALL done electronically……..There is “DIRT”, EVERYWHERE at the TOP……and America’s Politicians are ALL “On the Take”…….and those who don’t “play the game” take a bullet, A Lincoln, JFK, RJK, MLK, etc etc…….AND, the CIA are COMPLETELY “Above the Law”. They can eliminate anyone they want to, and are totally unaccountable……….(“We lied We cheated, We stole”………)
