A Report On Gonzalo Lira’s Disappearance

UPDATE [H/T TO CHR who commented on this post yesterday, leaving this link. Alex Christoferou of The Duran [?] interviewed Gonzalo Lira who had been captured by the SBU and then released.  He is fine now, although forbidden from leaving Kharkov. I did not post anything about it yesterday, as it was [Orthodox] Good Friday.

Odysy refuses to connect to this blog, so you will have to watch it elsewhere.

ORIGINAL POST

It doesn’t look good so far, with Lira caught between a rock [SBU units shooting people to prevent them leaving Kharkov] and a hard place [Russian shelling of the city]. Azov  on Twitter claims to have got him, but that may simply be idle boasts.

Pepe Escobar: Bucha Is False-Flag

Pepe forgot Buchenwald…..
which would be a major bell-ringer for the thoroughly brainwashed, historically illiterate, public-school indoctrinated professional class in the West…but, hopefully, the masses who read the internet have figured this out already.
Also, Bucha means “loud noise” or “outcry” in Ukrainian....
So, yes, with all those resonances, I would say this fits the mold for propaganda.

Pepe Escobar
@RealPepeEscobar
So the inevitable, major false flag turns out to be “The New Srebenica” in Bucha. Bucha-Butcher-Butchery-Boucher-Boucherie. Works on 2 top Western languages. Peddled by a Murdoch rag. Will be in synch on ALL Western front pages tomorrow.

Russian Stooge Checklist From Friendly Neighborhood Thought-Police

Came across this checklist on a site called Propornot, which purports to identify Russian disinformation sites.

Apparently that label fits a whole swathe of  dissident blogs/sites that are generally against the endless printing of money, against banker crimes and corruption, and against war without end:

3) Check to see whether the social-media account/commenter/outlet has a history of generally echoing the Russian propaganda “line” by using themes, arguments, talking points, images, and other content similar to those used by obvious Russian propaganda outlets. These themes include:

  • How wonderful, powerful, innocent, and righteous Russia and Russia’s friends are: Putin, Donald Trump, Bashar al-Assad, Syria, Iran, China, radical political parties in the US and Europe, etc. Investigate this by searching for mentions of, for example, “russia”, on their site by Googling for “site:whateversite.com russia”, and seeing what comes up.
  • How terrible, weak, aggressive, and corrupt the the opponents of Russia and their friends are: The US, Obama, Hillary Clinton, the EU, Angela Merkel, NATO, Ukraine, Jewish people, US allies, the “mainstream media”, and democrats, the center-right or center-left, and moderates of all stripes. Investigate this by searching for mentions of, for example, “NATO”, on their site by Googling for “site:whateversite.com NATO” and seeing what comes up.
  • An obvious bias towards Russia and Russian-backed policy in foreign affairs, including:
    • How fantastic Brexit and Ukrainian/Georgian separatism is, but how terrible Chechen separatists are,
    • How advanced Russian technology is, and how dangerous Western technology is,
    • How great it is when Western secrets get exposed, but how terrible it is when Russian ones do,
    • How militarily powerful Russia and their friends are, and how weak and craven Russia’s enemies and their friends are, etc.
  • How dangerous standing up to Russia would be: It would inevitably result in “World War 3”, nuclear devastation, etc, and regardless of who shot first or is bombing civilians where now, would be the West’s fault. Russian propaganda never suggests it would just result in a Cold War 2 and Russia’s eventual peaceful defeat, like the last time.
  • Pre-emptive discouragement of critical analysis: Assertions about them “having the truth”, or the need to “wake up the sheeple”, or how the “mainstream media” can’t be trusted.
  • Hyperbolic alarmism, anti-Western conspiracist insinuations, “Eurasianism”, racism, gold-standard nuttery and attacks on the US dollar, 9/11-trutherism, anti-Semitism, anti-“globalism”, anti-vax/anti-GMO paranoia, and generally ridiculous over-the-top assertions, which cites Russian propaganda outlets as “evidence”.

Really?That’s quite a lot of dissenting opinion to fit into one tent.

If I don’t like GMO foods that’s a RUSSIAN position?

Anti-globalism is RUSSIAN?

9/11 research is RUSSIAN?

The gold standard is RUSSIAN?

Look, bring back the Elders of ADL please. They were easy to figure out.

This is too, but in case it isn’t, here’s my totally free public service announcement:

Say your world-wide conspiracy to implement a totalitarian dictatorship using the pretext of a global pandemic ran into strong headwinds when everyone figured out who EXACTLY was pulling that scam by tracing their ideological, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, their business relationships and networks.….and  found they were NOT lizards….

Say the unwashed masses opened their eyes and said, yes, Virginia, there is a New World Order and it’s run by elite secret societies, Jewish banking families, Jesuits, European aristocrats, Nazis, Zionists, Fascists, and Communists who maybe were always the same thing, only we got fooled by the language….

THEN MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, it makes sense to switch our language around.

I mean, think about it.

If you keep shouting ANTI-SEMITE! at everyone, the proles start asking what’s a Semite? and next thing you know people are googling Khazaria, checking out mitochondrial DNA research, and liking Klaus Schwab threads on Twitter.

… Instead, what if the powers-that-be backed up and changed the binary to WEST versus RUSSIA?

That is, amazingly, the same switch that Big Bad Vlad pulled off in Russia, substituting a traditional anti-Western discourse for pre-Revolutionary and Stalinist anti-Semitism, to pull Russians together.

You’d think that would earn him some brownie points from our overlords.

But apparently not.

 

“Russian Disinformation” Is The New “Racism”

Revolver News [h/t LRC] explains why, with the refusal of the media establishment to admit that it blatantly and concertedly lied about the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop and dismissed it as Russian propaganda,  the “Russian disinformation” label has replaced “racism” or “sexism” as the state-of-the-art term in cancel culture…

Why? Revolver argues it is because national security is a reason that allows the harshest repressive measures.

Well, that has always been true.

Some twenty years ago, political dissidents or even just free-thinkers were labeled “domestic terrorists,” a label which also invoked national security.  Then there was the War on Terror and dissidents got called “Jihadis” or “Islamofascists”.

So  the “Russian disinfo” label is NOT some new line being crossed. It’s the same old tired ploy….and actually not nearly as effective as “public health hazard” which can get you into quarantine camp, have you forcibly injected with poisons, and hospitalized against your will. I’ll take jail over that.

Anyway, Revolver recommends the following:

[with my comments on each recommendation below]

1. Never believe the “disinformation” scam ever again, for any reason. The intelligence services have entirely forfeited any and all public trust on this topic. At this very moment, hundreds of Republican lawmakers, pundits, and D.C. creatures are being herded like cattle into supporting greater censorship of Russia, China, or anyone “supporting” them. This is a grievous blunder. Indeed, lower-level establishment flunkies and stooges will only have themselves to blame when these new powers are turned back against them. Of course, the ability to wield these tools like a weapon over a cowed populace is exactly the real purpose of expanding such powers in the first place.

[Lila: Now, hmmmm.  Whom would that help? Never is too strong. Do you mean to say no other country or power will ever utilize disinformation against us?  What if the WEF or the EU employs disinformation, may we say so? Baby, bathwater, etc.]

2. Take the news out of the press’ hands. In hindsight, it was clearly a mistake for Rudy Giuliani to try and carefully release the laptop’s contents through press outlets. The story trickled out too slowly, and it was too easy for the press and Big Tech to unite in simply shutting out the New York Post entirely. If the laptop’s entire contents had simply been uploaded online for anybody to read, a la Wikileaks, suppressing the story would have been much harder, verging on impossible.

[Lila: And if you do upload it online, who do you suppose allows visibility on the net? The material could lie there and not be read by anyone. Actually,  a couple of videos of Hunter were uploaded online and that’s where I saw them. That doesn’t seem to have made a difference. The point is the general public still assesses the credibility of information based on who puts it out: how credentialed or well-regarded or prestigious, not on the merits. Wikileaks itself was initially promoted via a massive concerted effort of all the major media organs….just search Wikileaks on this blog.]

3. Defund the intelligence state. America’s intelligence agencies have essentially gone rogue. They spied on the Trump campaign in 2016 and sabotaged President Trump internally from 2017 onward. They constantly deliver preposterous lies in the guise of “expertise”, which is then used to justify mass censorship and the stripping of Americans’ rights. Oh, and they’re the same group behind warrantless espionage and the Iraq War and so much else. The intelligence agencies have become one of the chief impediments to American liberty, and they have declared American nationalists, populists, and conservatives a de facto enemy class. Breaking the power of these agencies should be the primary political goal of all decent Americans in the years to come. A good blueprint for a future Republican presidency? Declassify everything, so agencies can no longer conceal their blunders, lies, and outright crimes under the cloak of “national security.”

[Lila: Now, this I can fully endorse. Knowing the past is the best way to handle the future.]

The Snowden-Soros-Greenwald-Ukronazi-Biowar Connection

I was watching the Oliver Stone interviews of Putin and wanted to take a look at how Putin saw Snowden, given my distaste for the kind of stunt he was involved in.

Turns out that Putin’s way of looking at agents like Edward Snowden and at the surveillance state in the USA actually matches my own.

In the US, on the contrary, there is the usual cartoonish debate [probably fostered by intelligence], in which either Snowden is a traitor who needs execution or he is the greatest hero of modern times.

Well, I was early to deconstruct Snowden accurately and to say he didn’t go about things in the right way, but opportunistically and ultimately counter-productively, even though the substance of his criticism was accurate.

And, yet, though Snowden was a creation of intelligence, I did note that he didn’t deserve to be called a traitor, because the NSA’s global spying really is a problem and not worthy of the name of state-craft of any kind. It is illegal both under domestic and international law. That is the point Putin makes in the interview, that, while there maybe intelligence gathering in  Russia, it is lawful….or so he says.

Snowden turns out also to be connected to the Soros network via Greenwald, Poitras, etc, and it is obvious why Soros would have objected to NSA spying…… his own activities would be obstructed by it.

I am linking a piece I posted back in 2013 by a researcher, Shimatsu, which ties biowarfare to the Greenwald-Omidyar-Snowden-Soros-Ukronazis nexus

You will need to also go into the links to my previous posts on Soros and Ukraine, including his connection to FEMEN and sex trafficking there.

You will also need to know that the Omidyar network is a sister company to Booz Allen Hamilton, which is an extremely large important government contractor, involved in many, many defense-related industries/technology, including biodefense, biowarfare, and the making of BSL-4 cabinets, which would be the kind of cabinets in which you would keep viruses like the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus, which was being researched in Ukraine, and which has both immediate bioweapon potential as well as long-term pandemic potential, through gain-of-function innovation.

It  all makes for mind-boggling rereading today, whereas at the time, I wondered if it the biowarfare part was disinformation, it seemed so far-fetched. Today, it feels spot on.

Anyway, the good sense in what Putin says makes me wonder whether a lot of what is written about him is just Western disinformation. He comes across as more on the level and much more sober than people like Biden, Obama, the Clintons or the Bushes.

Russian Presentation To UN Security Council on Biolabs [excerpt]

https://media.un.org/en/asset/k16/k16nsx50dm

[via Saker.is] excerpted from transcript of the above.

We called this meeting because during the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, some shocking facts came to light: the Kiev regime is urgently concealing traces of a military biological program that Kiev implemented with support of the US Department of Defense.

[Lila: There is no mention of WHO being informed of these labs or having any input. So when WHO told Reuters that it had asked Ukraine to destroy the pathogens in case a hit during war accidentally releases them into the population, WHO could not have been the reason the Ukrainians themselves destroyed the stocks on Feb 24. It could only have been a decision taken by the US and their Ukrainian subordinates. The WHO statement simply bolsters the US case, by suggesting that fear of accidental release, rather than fear of discovery, was the reason for the destruction of the pathogens.]

Defense Ministry of Russia got hold of documents confirming that Ukraine developed a network of at least 30 biological laboratories that host extremely dangerous biological experiments, aimed at enhancing the pathogen properties of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera, and other lethal diseases with the help of synthetic biology.

[Lila: This number is also supported by a Chinese statement to the media earlier, which I posted.  30 is twice the number indicated by other sources. Correction: In the report I quoted, the Chinese claim 27 biolabs in Ukraine, not 30]

This work is funded and directly supervised by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the United States, i.a. in the interests of Pentagon’s National Center for Medical Intelligence.

The key role in these programs was played by a BSL-3 central reference laboratory at the Mechnikov Scientific-Research Anti-Plague Institute in Odessa, Ukraine. Research centers in other cities also played a role – Kiev, Lvov, Kharkov, Dnipro, Kherson, Ternopol, Uzhgorod, Vinnytsia. Research results were sent to US military biological centers, i.a. to U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infections Diseases, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, US Naval Medical Research, and US Army Biological Warfare Labs in Fort Detrick that used to be the key hubs of the American biological weapons program.

[Lila: If these are health stations, why are the results being sent to US military programs?]

All the materials are available at the website of Russian Ministry of Defense and are presented at daily briefings. Let me cite the most telling examples.

Russian military learned the details of UP-4 project which was implemented at laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa. It studied possibilities of spreading particularly dangerous infections through migratory birds, including highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza (lethal to humans in 50 % of cases) and Newcastle disease. As part of another project, bats were considered as carriers of potential BW agents. Among the priorities identified are the study of bacterial and viral pathogens that can be transmitted from bats to humans: pathogens of plague, leptospirosis, brucellosis, as well as coronaviruses and filoviruses. Project documents clearly indicate that the United States actively financed bioprojects in Ukraine.

Besides, there were experiments to study spreading of dangerous infectious diseases by ectoparasites – fleas and lice. It is clear even to non-experts that such experiments are most reckless, as they give no opportunity to control how the situation is going to evolve. Similar research (using fleas and lice as BW agents) was carried out in the 1940s on the development of biological weapons components by the Japanese infamous unit 731, whose members later fled to the US to escape prosecution for war crimes.

Ukraine has a unique geographical location, where transcontinental migration routes of potential carriers of dangerous diseases intersect. Many of those routes pass through the territories of Russia and Eastern Europe. The research that I mentioned was done in the very midst of Eastern Europe and in close vicinity to the Russian borders. According to the data received, the birds that were ringed and released during biological research from the Kherson nature reserve, were caught in Ivanovo and Voronezh regions of Russia.

The analysis of the obtained materials confirms the transfer of more than 140 containers with ectoparasites of bats from a biolab in Kharkov abroad. We do not know anything about the fate of those dangerous biomaterials and the consequences that may occur once they “dissipate” (possibly in Europe) in the absence of any international control. In any case, risks are high that they may be stolen for terrorist purposes or to be sold at the black market.

Several thousands of samples of blood serum of COVID-19 patients (most of them of Slavic ethnicity) were transported from Ukraine to Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United Stated – allegedly for trials of treatment and prevention of COVID-19.

Everyone knows how sensitive Western states are when it comes to transferring biological samples of their citizens abroad. And there is a good reason for that – theoretically, samples may be used to create bioagents capable of selectively targeting different ethnic populations.

The activity of biolabs in Ukraine that we track back to 2014, and US-implemented program of so-called reform of Ukrainian healthcare system triggered uncontrolled growing incidence of dangerous and economically relevant infections in Ukraine. There is an increase in the number of cases of rubella, diphtheria, tuberculosis. Occurrence of measles has increased more than 100-fold. The World Health Organization said Ukraine runs high risks of having a polio outbreak. There is evidence that in Kharkov, where one of the labs is located, 20 Ukrainian soldiers died of swine flu in January 2016, 200 more were hospitalized. By March 2016, the total of 364 people had died of swine flu in Ukraine. Besides, outbreaks of African swine fever occur regularly in Ukraine. In 2019, there was an outbreak of a disease that had symptoms similar to plague……..

The materials that our Defense Ministry got hold of prove that all serious high-risk research in Ukrainian biolabs was directly supervised by US experts who had diplomatic immunity. Our Defense Ministry reports that at this moment the Kiev regime, as demanded by the Western sponsors, hastily covers up all traces so that the Russian side could not get hold of direct evidence of the US and Ukraine violating Article 1 of the BTWC. They rush to shut down all biological programs. Ukraine’s Health Ministry ordered to eliminate biological agents deposited in biolabs starting from 24 February 2022. We infer from the instructions to lab personnel that the order of elimination of collections suggested that they should be destroyed irrevocably. Having analyzed the destruction certificates, we can say that the Lvov lab alone destroyed 232 containers with pathogens of leptospirosis, 30 – of tularemia, 10 – of brucellosis, 5 – of plague. The total of more than 320 containers was eliminated. Pathogens’ titles and excessive amounts give reason to think that this work was done as part of military biological programs.

Now let me make a separate address to our colleagues from Europe………

At the same time, the Department of State sticks to the point that allegedly there are no US-controlled biolabs in Ukraine. Hence a question to the American delegation. How does this reconcile with 2005 Agreement between the US Department of Defense and Ukrainian Ministry of Health Concerning Cooperation in the Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Technology, Pathogens, and Expertise that could be Used in the Development of Biological Weapons? This document is available on the Internet. According to Article 3 of this agreement, the US Department of Defense may provide assistance to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in the area of “cooperative biological research, biological threat agent detection and response” with regard to “dangerous pathogens located at the facilities in Ukraine”.

We emphasize that biological threats defy all borders. No region of the world can feel totally safe today. The United States supervises several hundreds of biolabs in 30 countries, i.a. in the Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia, and along the perimeter of former USSR. Washington does not agree to subject them to international verification. Starting from 2001, it has been impeding elaboration of a binding protocol to the BTWC that should envisage a reliable verification mechanism to monitor states’ compliance with the Convention. This cannot but make us think that the United States has something to conceal. I call on the colleagues from those regions to think of what sort of activity Washington is carrying out on their territories and what consequences it may have for the population………

This risk seems rather real if we take into account considerable interest that Ukrainian radical and nationalist groups have in research of dangerous pathogens that was conducted in Ukraine in the interests of the US Department of Defense. We have information that Pentagon instructed its Ukrainian protégés that, should any incidents occur, they should instantly accuse Russian Armed Forces who allegedly launch strikes against research and medical facilities, or blame it all on “Russian subversive teams”….

 

 

Two Deaths Among Important Christian Alternative Voices

Lew Rockwell, the libertarian stalwart, lost two of its most popular Christian voices recently. A few days ago, economist, goldbug, Y2Ker, enthusiast of conspiracy, and forthright curmudgeon Gary North passed away.  I learned a lot about Biblical economics from reading his briskly written and drily amusing newsletters. I often posted things he’d written, because he had a fine eye for cant of all kinds. His bite was as good as his bark and he exercised both, on those who were mistaken [Ellen Brown, of Web of Debt] and those who were misleading  [Ann Barnhardt].

Now comes news of the passing of Bill Sardi, a health journalist who turned into one of the Covid regime’s most dedicated foes.  Sardi churned out hundreds of articles that turned complex scientific ideas into insights that saved lives and put health back into the patient’s hands. In the age of  medical tyranny and vaccine totalitarianism, he was the voice of  the man strong enough to rely on his own judgment and make his own choices, be they never so unpopular.  His death in hospital from mysterious causes, despite an excellent regimen of supplements, makes one wonder if his vaccine views had made him enemies powerful enough and malicious enough to deny him the care he deserved.
