Wait wait - are they saying that Nuland acknowledged this yesterday - then today the claim is that it was only Russian propaganda.

So - Nuland only acknowledged ownership because Russia said so? Sounds a tad iffy to me.

Russia Could ‘Use Chemical or Biological Weapons in Ukraine’

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday the Biden administration will be actively monitoring for Russia to use biological or chemical weapons in Ukraine after Vladimir Putin accused the West of harboring a biological weapons program in the country.

Russia sparked a firestorm this week when it alleged that American labs were researching biological weapons in Ukraine. As Breitbart News profiled:


The Foreign Ministry of Russia claimed on Tuesday that the nation’s military had “confirmed” the existence of American-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine used for developing “biological weapons.”

Russian troops reportedly found “documentation” showing Ukrainian scientists destroying evidence of “plague, anthrax, rabbit-fever, cholera and other lethal diseases” studied in the country’s laboratories on February 24, according to a statement from Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova, as part of their ongoing assault on the country.

U.S. Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland confirmed in a Congressional hearing on Tuesday that “biological research facilities” were in Ukraine and feared that Russia could take control.

“Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach,” she said.

On Wednesday, Psaki issued a lengthy statement on Twitter rebuking Russia’s “conspiracy theories,” asserting that the United States has been in “full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention and does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere.

NOT SO FAST: Biden Gang Now Says Biological Labs That They Said Were in Ukraine Yesterday Do Not Exist

OK – so which is it? Are there biological research labs in Ukraine or not? The Biden gang admitted to the existence of biolabs on Tuesday but then changed their story on Wednesday.

Yesterday, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland admitted during testimony before a US Senate committee the existence of biological research labs in Ukraine.

But then this afternoon, less than 24 hours later, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that reports of biolabs in Ukraine were fake news propagated by Russia.

“When the Fact Checkers Say it’s a Hoax…You Almost Know it’s True”: Bongino TORCHES the Fake News for Covering Up US-Funded Bioweapon Research in Ukraine

We are in the middle of a ‘misinformation crisis,’ according to Dan Bongino, and no, it’s not due to wild right-wing conspiracies as claimed by the fake news media.

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Things have gotten so bad that when the media fact-checkers come out and label something a hoax, you can almost be certain that it’s true.

This was proven once again this week with the claims of US-funded biological weapons research taking place in Ukraine. The rumor, which was partially confirmed yesterday by Biden’s Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, is that the Ukrainian bio labs are reportedly co-run by Fauci’s EcoHealth Alliance and Russia’s current military operation is unofficially working to either secure and/or destroy these labs while they also gather evidence.

Naturally, the untimely revelations spooked the DC Swamp and sent the fact-checkers into high-gear to attempt to quash the story, but as we have all seen, the difference between fact and wild right-wing misinformation is just a little time – and that little amount of time between the turnaround has shrunk from a few months to just a matter of days/hours, as of late.

Even The Gateway Pundit was hit with a bogus fact check violation for a story about the Ukrainian Bio Labs that was circulating on Facebook. Ignoring all evidence to the contrary, including several records on multiple US Government websites confirming the existence of the US-funded research facilities and their work with dangerous bioweapons, AFP fact check predictably labeled the claims as “unproven” misinformation and censored the story.

Wuhan funding.

Yup, just lies, nothing to see here. And the media will now start helping. Watch, not much effort into it if any, and then they will run with the lame story or ignore it altogether. :rolleyes:

I know I've been reading about this topic for a couple weeks. Tucker hammered on it last night.

Here's the problem, if not for all the Wuhan lies and cover ups, I'd say not a possibility. Now? Really hard to be objective.

The government did this. I really am not one for conspiracies, however it seems the most reasonable response to government denials on anything is skepticism.

Yet, thanks to Tucker's ravings last night, today has brought multiple responses from folks I consider trustworthy, including Griffin:

I'd put my bet on Russian false flag.
