DNI Gabbard Reveals Evidence of U.S. Taxpayer-Funded Global Biolab Program

Hmm. Gabbard is on the way out. Something tells me that perhaps her bosses may not be so happy about this disclosure.
shoopadoop•1h ago
Her real boss is probably thrilled.

collinfunk•44m ago
The whole "biolab" thing is pretty common Russian propaganda [1]. Unsurprising to hear Gabbard parroting it yet again.

Victoria Nuland linked the Ukraine labs to bio weapons during a Senate hearing, in response to a question by Rubio.

Rubio: “Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?”

Nuland: “Ukraine has biological research facilities...”

https://www.c-span.org/clip/senate-committee/senator-rubio-q...

Why would you mention the labs in connection to a question specifically about bio weapons?

XorNot•14m ago
From your own link:

During her testimony in front of the Senate Foreign Relations committee about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland answers a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about whether or not Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons. She replies, "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned...Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of." She then refutes allegations from Russia that Ukrainians are plotting to use biological weapons, and says that if such an attack happens in Ukraine, "there is no doubt in my mind" it would be caused by Russian forces. --- And yes I also watched the video and it's accurate.

thin_carapace•15m ago
is it really that big of a jump to connect gain of function research and bioweaponry? to be fair the world genuinely believes covid spontaneously manifested directly next to a US funded covid research site, so perhaps the gap is really that wide.

edit: clarifying that russia can still use the truth as a propaganda weapon via selective omission (in this case focusing on ukraine)

mc32•1h ago
Maybe not, but let’s hope this gets the attention it deserves and these black programs get shut down and anyone who lied about them in their testimony to Congress get what they deserve, CEOs or otherwise.

"Gain-of-function research (GoF research or GoFR) is medical research that genetically alters an organism in a way that may enhance the biological functions of gene products. This may include an altered pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range, i.e., the types of hosts that a microorganism can infect. This research is intended to reveal targets to better predict emerging infectious diseases and to develop vaccines and therapeutics." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain-of-function_research)

Well vaccines are all fake, right? And we don't care about making people better, right? So clearly these labs must be terrible. Why would we want to fund more people in doing science? I mean really, what has science ever done for us?

"Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration's national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs"

Wait. Wasn't Trump the president right before Biden? So, what was it, they opened 160 labs in 4 years? Or was Trump just clueless when they existed when he was in office?

Also, great dig on Fauci. Working as a physician, scientist, immunologist, and Director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, definitely doesn't qualify him as a health professional.

> what has science ever done for us?

Only given us the means to destroy ourselves and ruin our planet.

zmgsabst•36m ago
Gain-of-function has no demonstrated health benefit (and if you believe COVID was serial passage of a SARS variant in humanized mice, per the EcoHealth grant proposal, significant negative effect).

Facui is a bureaucrat associated with a number of scandals — and has little demonstrated competence as a medical professional. Being an administrator in a healthcare agency doesn’t make you an expert on medicine.

digi59404•58m ago
Two things to remember. First Tulsi Gabbard has significant Russia connections. She’s also a member of a prolific cult. She’s been protective of Russia for quite some time.

Second, the USSR had biolabs in Ukraine. Ukraine was a central hub for all their bio R&D. When the USSR collapsed these bio labs lost their funding. These bio labs contained many different pathogens and bio-weapons.

It was in the US and the worlds best interest to fund them and wind them down safely and securely.

SanjayMehta•17m ago
Tulsi is a Hindu, a follower of the Sanatan Dharma. Are you calling a billion+ people members of a cult?

The difference between a religion and a cult is that in a cult there is a founder who actively recruits followers by bribing, threatening and coercing. Sound familiar? There are two such active proselytising cults in the world today.

unmole•11m ago
The cult GP is referring to is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_Foundation

Tone down the indignation.

digi59404•10m ago
Hinduism is not a cult. Absolutely not.

Science of Identity Foundation, an offshoot of Hinduism, and it is a cult.

It's no huge secret that most large, modern countries are researching vaccines for these dangerous diseases. There are quite a few of these labs on U.S. soil as well last I checked. I don't get what the scandal is supposed to be about, other than ensuring the labs remain safe during the war?
burkaman•56m ago
I don't understand what we're supposed to be seeing here. The "new evidence" is four slides, one of which is titled "Ukraine Labs: Web of Connections to U.S. BW Defense Industry" but just has a list of logos that have nothing to do with the defense industry. The rest of the slides are related to the US funding research into dangerous diseases, which is not a secret and seems like a good thing to be doing. It also notes that Ukrainian labs are vulnerable to attacks from Russia, which seems pretty obvious.

The text of the press release also seems to have very little to do with the linked evidence.

yieldcrv•44m ago
far right and niche far left - in classic horseshoe theory form - have contingencies looking for literature on this specific thing

Specifically clandestine labs focused on bioweapons and gain of function research

The conspiracy (by definition of obscurity and secrecy, not to discredit the crusade) is that it rationalizes Putin’s actions to add a check against something that the west is too captured to do

They’ll be eating this stuff up

breezybottom•36m ago
Gabbard is not far-left. Even when she was a Democrat she was rubbing elbows with Hindu nationalists and Steve Bannon.
yieldcrv•25m ago
you're misunderstanding if you think the appointee's affiliation is relevant

she had one job to a niche of people and catered to it

The US defence industry is a very large institution with a lot of connections that aren't immediately obvious or well advertised - like the intelligence services and the major tech companies. It seems quite reasonable to take the slide at face value that these companies do in fact have things to do with the biological arm of the US defence industry.
