Deleted Web Pages Show Obama Led an Effort To Build a Ukraine-Based BioLab Handling ‘Especially Dangerous Pathogens
2022-03-13
[National Pulse] A deleted web article recovered by The National Pulse reveals that former President Barack Obama spearheaded an agreement leading to the construction of biolabs handling "especially dangerous pathogens" in Ukraine.

The news comes on the same day that Biden regime apparatchik Victoria Nuland told the U.S. Senate that the American government is concerned about biological research facilities falling into Russian hands as a result of the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe.

Originally posted on June 18th, 2010, the article "Biolab Opens in Ukraine" details how Obama, while serving as an Illinois Senator, helped negotiate a deal to build a level-3 bio-safety lab in the Ukrainian city of Odessa.

The article, which also highlighted the work of former Senator Dick Lugar, was additionally included in Issue No. 818 of the United States Air Force (USAF) Counterproliferation Center’s Outreach Journal.

"Lugar said plans for the facility began in 2005 when he and then-Senator Barack Obama entered a partnership with Ukrainian officials. Lugar and Obama also helped coordinate efforts between the U.S and Ukrainian researchers that year in an effort to study and help prevent avian flu," explained author Tina Redlup.

#11  I was the project manager of a project to build a research laboratory at the old Letterman Army Hospital in SFO
We were told that labs had to handle the most dangerous pathogens in the world and the project needed to be way in excess of the old Biohazard V classification
Very scary especially considering that this thing was in the middle of a large city

#10   Just wondering why shutting the labs down has taken 17 years.

If the purpose was to keep the Soviet scientists gainfully enough employed that they wouldn’t sell their services — and work product — to the highest evil bidder, then shutting down the labs would be counterproductive.

#7  "Special rendition"

In this case, a special rendition of the SARS virus - rather like a rendition of musical work?

#6  It utterly astounds me how many people suddenly changed in March 2022 and accept everything the US government says as truth.

What the hell, people.

#5  Yes, BIO Level 4 is the worst case. Just wondering why shutting the labs down has taken 17 years.

#4  this is a yawner to me

Why should anyone believe these liars when they say it's level-3?

#3  Well a biohazard level three is not the type of facility that you would use to study especially dangerous pathogens
So this is a yawner to me
Now if the labs are level four then you have some really nasty stuff in the cooler

#2  After nearly three years of nightly news appearances, the man within the US Gov't who probably knows the most about such labs and initiatives is strangely missing from action.

#1  Fact checkers have repeatedly debunked the claim as "false".

That is, until the viceroy in charge of Ukraine, Nuland, unexpectedly confirmed it under questioning in Congress. Whoops! Sent everyone scrambling to build a new story.
