EP 2763-6PM CRIMINAL & CORRUPT FBI - THE BIDEN REGIME'S PERSONAL GESTAPO

Fewer voters now trust the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and many believe the agency is acting as President Joe Biden’s “personal Gestapo” – a reference to Adolf Hitler’s secret German police – new data from Rasmussen Reports has revealed.
In the stunning poll, forty-six percent of Likely U.S. voters said they have a favorable impression of the FBI, with just 15 percent claiming to have a Very Favorable view of the agency. That’s down from May 2020, when 60 percent had a favorable impression of the FBI.
Forty-seven percent now view the FBI unfavorably, with 26 percent admitting to a Very Unfavorable impression. https://thepetesantillishow.com/archives/19738

Everyone else is a Nazi except the actual Nazis in Ukraine...

Chris Hedges: Waltzing to Armageddon

The Dr. Strangeloves, like zombies rising from the mass graves they created around the globe, are once again stoking new campaigns of industrial mass slaughter

This provocation, a violation of a promise not to expand NATO beyond the borders of a unified Germany, has seen Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and North Macedonia inducted into the Western military alliance.

This betrayal was compounded by a decision to station NATO troops, including thousands of U.S. troops, in Eastern Europe, another violation of an agreement made by Washington with Moscow.

Pandora’s Box of Evils

The decision to destroy the Russian economy, to turn the Ukrainian war into a quagmire for Russia and topple the regime of Vladimir Putin will open a Pandora’s box of evils. Massive social engineering —
look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya or Vietnam — has its own centrifugal force. It destroys those who play God.

The Ukrainian war has silenced the last vestiges of the Left. Nearly everyone has giddily signed on for the great crusade against the latest embodiment of evil, Vladimir Putin, who, like all our enemies,
has become the new Hitler.

The United States will give $13.6 billion in military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, with the Biden administration authorizing an additional $200 million in military assistance. The 5,000-strong
EU rapid deployment force, the recruitment of all Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, into NATO, the reconfiguration of former Soviet bloc militaries to NATO weapons and technology have all been fast tracked.

Germany, for the first time since World War II, is massively rearming. It has lifted its ban on exporting weapons. Its new military budget is twice the amount of the old budget, with promises to raise the budget to more than 2 percent of GDP, which would move its military from the seventh
largest in the world to the third, behind China and the United States.

Staggering Hypocrisy

The moral hypocrisy of the United States is staggering. The crimes Russia is carrying out in Ukraine are more than matched by the crimes committed by Washington in the Middle East over the last two decades, including the act of preemptive war, which under post-Nuremberg laws is a
criminal act of aggression. Only rarely is this hypocrisy exposed as when U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the body:

“We’ve seen videos of Russian forces moving exceptionally lethal weaponry into Ukraine, which has no place on the battlefield. That includes cluster munitions and vacuum bombs which are banned under the Geneva Convention.”

Hours later, the official transcript of her remark was amended to tack on the words “if they are directed against civilians.” This is because the U.S., which like Russia never ratified the Convention on Cluster Munitions treaty, regularly uses cluster munitions. It used them in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Iraq. It has provided them to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen. Russia has yet to come close to the tally of civilian deaths from cluster munitions delivered by the U.S. military.

The fog of war
Twitter has removed a post from the Russian embassy in London about the Mariupol hospital bombing
which claimed that the facility was no longer operational and that images of the attack had been faked,
following criticism from Downing Street.

No 10 accused the embassy of posting disinformation on Twitter after it posted pictures of the bombing
emblazoned with the label “fake”. A series of follow-up tweets, including a claim that a victim of the bombing
was “played” by a beauty blogger, have also been removed after
Twitter said they “violated the Twitter rules”.

Kirillov claimed that Washington had sent 350 cryo containers with blood serum samples from
the Public Health Centre of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to a reference laboratory for infectious
diseases at Australia's Doherty Institute.

Russian defence ministry shared the high-risk biological research documents led by Washington in Ukraine
that it compared with research conducted in the 1940s on biological weapons by the Imperial Japanese
Unit 731 or Manshu Detachment 731. The unit operated secretly during the 1930s through the second
China-Japan war until World War II ended, and involved the nerve-wracking and horror striking human
experiments on prisoners of wars captured at Harbin, Northeastern China.

the US has, for four decades, tried to prevent the Biological Weapons Convention from establishing a
checking mechanism. Of the 182 signatories to the convention, the US is the only one that pulled out
of negotiations for such a mechanism in 2001. It is clear that by doing so the US wants to protect the
secrets of its 336 biological labs worldwide.

Latest reports say that the US embassy in Ukraine hurriedly deleted information related to the biological
labs there. But they cannot wash away the fact about the existence of such laboratories around the
world. It is time the US published information about these biological laboratories, including what kind
of viruses are stored there, what "research" is going on and what
harm they pose to people in these countries and around the world.

Moreover, late last month the New York Times reported on a couple of new scientific papers by our top
researchers on the original Covid outbreak in Wuhan. Those findings indicate that the first infection
probably occurred in late November or early December, somewhat later than had previously been
believed. Meanwhile, back in April 2020 ABC News reported and Israeli TV confirmed that our
Defense Intelligence Agency had produced a secret report “in the second week of November”
describing a “potentially cataclysmic” disease outbreak taking place in Wuhan. This DIA report
now appears to have been written before the first Chinese person had even become infected.

I think that previous inadvertent disclosure by our Intelligence officials falls into the same category as
Victoria Nuland’s blunder.

Nuland: US Working With Ukraine to Keep US ‘Biological Research Facilities’ Out of Russia’s Hands

“In the last 24 hours, all PDF files from the embassy website were removed without any explanation,”
per the outlet.

The outlet, however, said some of the documents were archived. They show that the U.S. Department of
Defense spent millions of American taxpayer dollars on
unnamed projects run by biological laboratories throughout Ukraine. The beneficiary and executive agent
of the projects were either the State Committee of Veterinary
Medicine of Ukraine (now the State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Service of Ukraine) or the Ministry of
Health of Ukraine.

According to the archived webpage of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, the United States partnered with
Ukraine on the DOD’s Biological Threat Reduction Program
(BTRP). The goal of the program was said to be “to counter the threat of outbreaks (deliberate, accidental,
or natural) of the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases.”

A few of the viruses these labs were working with as a part of the BRTP included swine flu, avian flu,
Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, and hantavirus.

The same day Nuland shared her worries with the senators, The National Pulse reported that it unearthed
a since-deleted 2010 article revealing that then-Senator
Barack Obama had been involved in setting up a level-3 biosafety laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine, since
2005. The lab was tasked with “handling ‘especially dangerous
pathogens’ in Ukraine,” per the outlet.

Biolab opens in Ukraine
by Tina Redlup on June 18, 2010

.S. Sen. Dick Lugar applauded the opening of the Interim Central Reference Laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine, this week, announcing that it will
be instrumental in researching dangerous pathogens used by bioterrorists.

The level-3 bio-safety lab, which is the first built under the expanded authority of the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, will
be used to study anthrax, tularemia and Q fever as well as other dangerous pathogens.

“The continuing cooperation of Nunn-Lugar partners has improved safety for all people against weapons of mass destruction and potential
terrorist use, in addition to advancements in the prevention of pandemics and public health consequences,” Lugar said.

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.

The Nunn-Lugar Act, which established the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, was established in 1991. Since that time it has provided
funding and assistance to help the former Soviet Union dismantle and safeguard large stockpiles of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
The program has also been responsible for destroying chemical weapons in Albania, Lugar said.

Here’s a short list of NATO’s accomplishments:

The destruction of Yugoslavia
The destruction of Afghanistan
The destruction of Libya
The destruction of Iraq
The destruction of Syria

Does Zelenskyy know that there are Right Sektor, neo-Nazis in the government, military and Security Services. Does he know that, while their
numbers are small, they are a force to be reckoned with and factor heavily in the hatred and persecution of ethnic Russians? Does he know that these
far-right elements participate in torchlight parades, imprint swastikas or SS tattoos on their arms, and revere the racialist ideology of Adolph Hitler?
Does he realize that many these Nazis have engaged in criminal acts of brutality including the incinerating of 40 civilians at the Trade Union Building in
Odessa in 2014? Does he think that the
CIA’s covert programs to arm and train these right-wing militants builds confidence or does he think it reminds Moscow of a catastrophic war in which
27 million Russians were exterminated by Germany’s Wehrmacht?

Can you see how everything Zelensky has done, was done with the intention of provoking Russia?

All the talk of joining NATO, all the talk about building nukes, the steady buildup of lethal weaponry, the movement of troops to the east, the refusal
to implement the Minsk Treaty and the rejection of Putin’s security demands. All of these were deliberate provocations. But, why? Why “bait the bear”;
that’s the question?

Because Washington wants to lure Russia into a war so it can further demonize Putin, isolate Russia, launch a counterinsurgency operation against
the Russian army, and impose harsh economic sanctions that will inflict maximum damage on the Russian economy. That’s Washington’s strategy in a
nutshell, and Zelenskyy is helping Washington achieve its objectives. He’s allowing himself to be Washington’s tool. He is sacrificing his own country
to advance the interests of the United States.

US Intervention

A leaked phone call, believed to have taken place on January 28, 2014, between then US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and
US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt revealed that Obama-admin officials were involved in a scheme to oust Ukrainian President
Yanukovych and replace his administration with Western allies. The call was discussed in several US-based media outlets though,
for the most part, they refrain from discussing its content and instead focus on Nuland’s expletive remark of “Fuck the EU”
and highlight that Russian hackers were likely the leak’s source. Then State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki corroborated the
legitimacy of the call as she “did not dispute the authenticity of the recording and said that Nuland had apologized to
European Union officials for her remarks,” according to Associated Press.

(1:22) Nuland: “I think Yats is the guy who’s got the economic experience, the governing experience.” She’s referring to Arseniy Yatsenuk and emphasizing that he should play a leading role in the new government.
Less than one month later, Yatsenyuk went on to the position of prime minister.
Yats promptly signed the long sought-after EU trade agreement that initially started this fiasco.
To illustrate the new regime’s stance on Russia, the following year Yats called on the EU to stop the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and tightened immigration policy for Russian citizens entering Ukraine.
(2:48) Nuland: “When I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy – Robert Serry… He’s now gotten both Serry and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry could come in Monday or Tuesday. So that would be great to help glue this thing and to have the UN to help glue it.”
A little under a month after this phone call, Yanukovych fled the country due to dwindling support from his allies. This prompted the Verkhovna Rada, a legislative body within the Ukrainian parliament, to claim itself to be “the only legitimate authority in the country” (from a government press release on the matter). In that same press release, “Robert H. Serry informed that the United Nations Organization ‘highly appreciates Ukraine and supports current processes.’”
However, the vote to impeach Yanukovych and elect new officials was illegal under the Ukrainian Constitution. To quote Huffington Post, “It is simply untrue that the Rada followed the procedure laid down in the Ukrainian constitution to impeach and remove a president from power.” For more details check out their article.
Pyatt also mentions the need to “get somebody with an international personality to help midwife this thing” to which Nuland replies she’s been in touch with Obama’s director of policy planning who told her that “Biden’s willing”. So, ironically, Biden himself likely played a key role in getting this vote through.

It’s fairly clear that the subject of Nuland and Pyatt’s conversation was how to shape the outcome of this unconstitutional vote, which, by the way,
falls under the definition of a coup.

Putin watched in the early 2000s as seven former Soviet Union countries joined NATO. Despite promises by the Clinton administration that NATO
would not keep military forces in Eastern Europe permanently, over 20 years later NATO “has about 4,000 troops in multinational battalions,
backed by tanks, air defenses and intelligence and surveillance units” across Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, according to Reuters.
Putin tolerated such expansions for decades, and while it was not without complaints and retaliatory acts of his own,
he clearly is not a madman intent on re-establishing the Soviet Union.

Why John Mearsheimer Blames the U.S. for the Crisis in Ukraine
https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-john-mearsheimer-blames-the-us-for-the-crisis-in-ukraine

Hector served two violent tours in Iraq as a United States Marine, then got out, got a pension and a civilian job, and thought he was done with military
service. But on Friday, he boarded a plane for one more deployment, this time as a volunteer in Ukraine. He checked in several bags filled with rifle
scopes, helmets and body armor donated by other veterans.

“Sanctions can help, but sanctions can’t help right now, and people need help right now,” said the former Marine, who lives in Tampa Bay, Fla., and
like other veterans interviewed for this article asked that only his first name be used for security reasons. “I can help right now.”

He is one of a surge of American veterans who say they are now preparing to join the fight in Ukraine, emboldened by the invitation of the country’s
president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who earlier this week announced he was creating an “international legion” and asked volunteers from around the world
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/i-just-can-t-stand-by-american-veterans-join-the-fight-in-ukraine/ar-AAUE52r

“Obviously, with the start of a special military operation, the Pentagon had serious concerns about disclosing the conduct of secret
biological experiments on the territory of Ukraine <…> To prevent disclosure of the facts of violation by the United States and Ukraine of
Article 1 of the UN Convention on the Prohibition of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons by Ukrainian The Ministry of
Health sent an instruction to all biolaboratories
on the urgent elimination of stored stocks of dangerous pathogens,” he said.

As GreatGameIndia reported, under the “Biological Threat Reduction Program,” the US has six such facilities in Ukraine. This has led to
several people wondering if Russia is actually targeting the secret US bioweapons labs in Ukraine.

Now, the official US embassy website has removed all evidence of bio-labs in Ukraine. These bio-labs are funded and jointly operated
by the US Department of Defense (DOD). These documents include important construction, financing and permit details for bioweapon
laboratories in Ukraine. But now the US government is scrubbing these documents from the internet and becoming less transparent with this critical information.

This comes at a time when the world population is waking up to the reality of gain-of-function bioweapons research, lab leaks and
predatory vaccine and diagnostics development. These bio-labs generate pathogens of pandemic potential that exploit human immune
systems and are the foundation on which medical fraud, malpractice, vaccine-induced death and genocide originates.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/03/06/russian-defense-ministry-documents-evidence-proves-us-developed-bio-weapons-in-ukraine-covid/

President Volodymyr Zelensky has, in fact, widened the scope of the war by providing visa-free access to foreign fighters in the battle
against the Russian forces, apart from releasing hardcore criminals from prisons and drafting them to battle.

For the past eight years, Ukraine has been violating the Minsk Accords and shelling its own people in Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
Nearly 14,000 people have been killed, and many more wounded over the years.
These pro-Russian regions had, in 2014, openly declared their desire to unite with Russia, just like the way Crimea was reunified with Russia.

The western media continues to repeat that Russia ‘annexed’ Crimea, while conveniently ignoring the fact that 96.77 percent of Crimeans with a
turnout of 83.1 percent voted for the reunion of Crimea with Russia, in a referendum taken in March 2014. This is a true example of vox populi,
the voice of the people.

The United States feels that the world must bow to its diktats, and its wars of aggression against Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and dozens of
countries around the world are branded as acts of ‘protecting’ and ‘safeguarding’ democracy.

I cannot join in it. I know too much. I know that our policy of Nato expansion – which we had promised not to do and which we knew infuriated Russians –
played its part in bringing about this crisis.

I know that Ukraine's current government, now treated as if it was almost holy, was brought into being by a mob putsch openly backed by the USA in 2014.

I know that the much-admired President Zelensky in February 2021 closed down three opposition TV stations on the grounds of 'national security'. They went
dark that night. I know that the opposition politician
Viktor Medvedchuk was put under house arrest last year on a charge of treason. Isn't this the sort of thing Putin does?

I know that Ukraine's army has used severe force against Russian civilians in the Don Basin since 2014. The Russians have done dreadful things there,
too, but there are plenty of people who will tell you that. The point is that this is not a contest of saints versus sinners, or of Mordor versus the Shire.

I also find it awkward that, when Britain and the USA rightly denounced Putin's illegal invasion of a sovereign country, they seemed to have forgotten
that we gave him the idea, by doing this in Iraq in 2003. Unlike them I can truly claim to have opposed both these actions.

I tire of being told that Nato is purely defensive alliance when we know it bombed Serbia in 1999, incidentally killing civilians, when Serbia had not attacked a Nato member.

I also don't recall Libya attacking a Nato member before that 'defensive' alliance launched the air war on Tripoli which also killed civilians, children
included, and turned that country into a cauldron of chaos

How remarkable that Kyiv's heroic president was once their Mr Bean: As Volodymyr Zelensky's political satire airs on Channel 4

In the days after the Feb. 22 coup, as the neo-Nazi militias effectively controlled the government, European and U.S. diplomats scrambled to help the
shaken parliament put together the semblance of a respectable regime, although at least four ministries, including national security, were awarded to
the right-wing extremists in recognition of their crucial role in ousting Yanukovych.

As extraordinary as it was for a modern European state to hand ministries over to neo-Nazis, virtually the entire U.S. news media cooperated in playing
down the neo-Nazi role. Stories in the U.S. media delicately step around this neo-Nazi reality by keeping out relevant context, such as the background of
coup regime’s national security chief Andriy Parubiy, who founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine in 1991, blending radical Ukrainian nationalism
with neo-Nazi symbols. Parubiy was commandant of the Maidan’s “self-defense forces.”
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/06/robert-parry-when-western-media-saw-ukraines-neo-nazis/

A few examples of the U.S. media’s deployment of Zelensky as a shield against allegations of rampant Nazism in Ukraine are below (see mash-up above for video):

PBS NewsHour noted Putin’s comments on denazification with a qualifier: “even though President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish and his great uncles died in the Holocaust.”
On Fox & Friends, former CIA officer Dan Hoffman declared that “it’s the height of hypocrisy to call the Ukrainian nation to denazify — their president is Jewish after all.”
On MSNBC, Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner said Putin’s “terminology, outrageous and obnoxious as it is — ‘denazify’ where you’ve got frankly a
Jewish president in Mr. Zelensky. This guy [Putin] is on his own kind of personal jihad to restore greater Russia.”
Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn said on Fox Business she’s “been impressed with President Zelensky and how he has stood up. And for Putin to go out
there and say ‘we’re going to denazify’ and Zelensky is Jewish.”
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Gen. John Allen denounced Putin’s use of the term, “de-Nazify” while the newsman and former Israel lobbyist shook
his head in disgust. In a separate interview with Blitzer, the so-called “Ukraine whistleblower” and Ukraine-born Alexander Vindman grumbled that the claim is
“patently absurd, there’s really no merit… you pointed out that Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish… the Jewish community [is] embraced. It’s central to the country
and there is nothing to this Nazi narrative, this fascist narrative. It’s fabricated as a pretext.”

Behind the corporate media spin lies the complex and increasingly close relationship Zelensky’s administration has enjoyed with the neo-Nazi forces
invested with key military and political posts by the Ukrainian state, and the power these open fascists have enjoyed since Washington installed a
Western-aligned regime through a coup in 2014.

In fact, Zelensky’s top financial backer, the Ukrainian Jewish oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, has been a key benefactor of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and other extremists militias.
