On Sunday, former House representative for Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard released a video calling for the Biden administration to work with Russia and other parties to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine so dangerous pathogens held by US-funded biological research labs in the country could be destroyed.
Despite the undeniable evidence that there are Pentagon-linked biological labs in Ukraine, any concern about the pathogens has been labeled “Russian propaganda” by hawks in Washington. In response to Gabbard’s video, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) labeled her as “treasonous.”

“Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives,” Romney wrote on Twitter.
Gabbard’s video also elicited a response from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), one of the leading proponents of the idea that the US should impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would mean direct conflict with Russia and risk nuclear war. “Actual Russian propaganda. Traitorous,” Kinzinger said.
In response to Romney, Gabbard challenged Romney to provide evidence that what she said was not true. “Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous. If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate,” she said.
Gabbard also presented evidence of the US’s involvement with Ukrainian biolabs, including a Pentagon fact sheet dated March 11 that details US funding of the facilities. The Pentagon funds labs in Ukraine through its Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The fact sheet said since 2005, the US has “invested” $200 million in “supporting 46 Ukrainian laboratories, health facilities, and diagnostic sites.”
The original video post which Romney and others have attacked:
There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world. We must take action now to prevent disaster. US/Russia/Ukraine/NATO/UN/EU must implement a ceasefire now around these labs until they’re secured & pathogens destroyed pic.twitter.com/dhDTH5smIG

Gabbard’s concern about the pathogens being released in Ukraine is also shared by Pentagon officials involved with the DTRA. In a February 25 article published by the the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Robert Pope, the director of the DTRA’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, warned that the fighting in Ukraine could lead to dangerous pathogens being released from the labs.
Pope said some of the labs could contain biological weapons left over from the Soviet Union while insisting the facilities are not capable of developing such pathogens. According to the article, the US government has worked with 26 such biological research facilities in Ukraine. Pope and other US officials maintain that the DTRA’s work in Ukraine is meant to eliminate the threat of Soviet-era weapons of mass destruction.
It’s not clear what exactly what pathogens have been held in the labs. Russia says it has documents that show the Ukrainian Health Ministry ordered the destruction of samples of plague, cholera, anthrax, and other pathogens, although they have not been verified. But the World Health Organization bolstered Russia’s case last week by saying it advised the Ukrainian Health Ministry to destroy “high-threat pathogens” around the time Russia invaded.

Russia brought the issue of the US-funded labs to the UN Security Council on Friday, infuriating Washington. China has joined Russia in calling on the US to explain its involvement in the labs, and said the UN should properly address the issue. US State Department spokesman Ned Price said China’s position is “disturbing” and suggested any country that gives “credibility” to Russia’s claims essentially backs its invasion.

Ask yourself why this young global leader keeps appearing in the news.
She’s a graduate of the WEF young leaders club? Chip
I get the feeling this is part of Fox’s shift to the Left, as dictated by its new owner. That being said, she said nothing “treasonous.” If you want treason, look at Obama, Biden, most of the Donks in Congress, several governors, many mayors,…
True, but remember Fox has always just been the right wing of the establishment. They are all reading from the same script with the exception of Tucker Carlson.
I think it is called resume building. Getting Mittens to attack her gives her added credibility with many republicans & independents. Most do no know of her association with Herr Scab.
It is a soap opera where they create “bad guys” like Mitten just for the purpose. I am glad people are seeing it.
Why would you put bio-labs in a historically corrupt and socially unstable country like the Ukraine?
BTW Romney voted to spend another 1.5 Trillion last week , that story didn’t even last a 24 hour news cycle.
To do things that are illegal to do in the US… Chip
Y’beat me to it…
“Why would you put bio-labs in a historically corrupt and socially unstable country like the Ukraine?”
I think the answer to this question is very obvious.
1. Easier to control. The citizens are being distracted by Neo-Nazis and a literal comedian for a President, and are used to corruption from being under the USSR regime for decades, so none of this will come as a surprise to them.
2. Social instability gives cover to the release of a new virus. Be it “accidental” or the work of Neo-Nazis or some other strong-arm group, the result is the same. More “two weeks to…blah blah blah” “opportunity to Build Back Better” and more “your mask protects me and my mask protects you” nonsense. I am quite sure Moderna and Pfizer are already sweating with greedy delight over all the new “vaccines” they can Warp Speed up our ass.
3. We are not allowed to develop bio-weapons on US soil so it has to go somewhere and the jig is quite up in Wuhan. Anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together can probably deduce that no country with the capability of developing bio-weapons will actually be responsible and NOT develop said weapons. Come on man! The corrupt denizens of Mordor truly believe that it would be IRRESPONSIBLE to NOT develop these weapons. Because if we don’t, “they” will dontcha know. Ask Fauci. He’ll splain it to ya. It all has something to do with grants and trusting people who lie to not lie this one time. Or that a communist regime has academic integrity because they said so. Something like that.
The propaganda being spewed around every aspect of the Ukraine war is mind-boggling. It is a Shroedinger’s Cat of 2.8 million Ukrainian people simultaneously fleeing the country successfully yet being trapped inside at the same time.
Honestly, I am shocked how easily Americans are embracing the Ukrainian refugees. Why just last night I saw a “news” story about a family of them, and Holy White Privileges’ Batman! These people were as white as snow, a lovely family. Not even a tan among them. Obviously we can see that their White Privilege allowed them to easily escape the Russian onslaught with ease. Has anyone even checked to see if any of the black Ukrainian families have equitable access to escape? Why are we not checking? Maybe someone can check in with Whoopi and Joy and see what they have to say.
Mitt. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. Sigh. Does anyone even give a flying fuck about what this cartoon even says anymore? Nice slacks Mitt. Stay in Utah.
Then we have Nancy “vulcan hands” Pelosi. She of the Mile High Eyebrow and wandering teeth. I am quite sure without all the Botox she would simply not be able to stop laughing at her own ridiculous statements about inflation. I mean, I get it…the US is at the bottom rung when it comes to math scores, but jeeze Nan, we can actually SEE the numbers for gas and food. Of course, when you were already paying $15 bucks for a pint of ice cream, I guess you don’t really understand when other people bitch about $4.40 per gallon for gas.
This cast of characters is just that. I am beginning to think Monty Python was on to something with the Ministry of Silly Walks. At this point I would prefer to see them in charge.
Also as a ‘deterrent’ to attack, like putting anti-air missiles in a school yard.
Ukraine national export,corruption. We also sell some wheat.
Oh look, a potential Republican candidate for President who checks all the boxes and has been tapped as one of WEF’s young global leaders.
How unexpected.
I take it she’s not even in an elected office anymore but still very marketable it seems. She reminds me of that Dakotan woman (maybe) politician.
She fits well with Carlson- I thought they were going to tap HIM for president.
It is far easier to win an election when both candidates are on the same side! Change my mind.
Why is Romney in the news? The guy is a has been, who is about as irrelevant as Al Gore. The people of Utah need to hang their heads in shame for sending that pant load to Washington DC….
Utah is as much a machine state as Illinois, just opposite polarity. The local PTB really thought that Mittens would be a great Senator; we will have to root out a whole bunch of local RINOs before we can have real representation again.
(Mike Lee was as much an anomaly as Trump; he won because the local caucuses didn’t vote for Bennett, the stuffed shirt who owned the office before him. That lesson resulted in a lot of local caucus-rigging by the same machine, who learned not to leave anything to chance when trying to get “their man” in office. I went to one Repub local caucus; the state stooge who ran the voting made sure THAT district didn’t vote out Hatch, who was in need of formaldehyde long before he was able to escape office. Hatch was no bargain, but I’d take him back before I’d vote for Mittens.)
Here Are the Republicans Who Voted for Gun Control Legislation Behind Your Back
When you understand what is included in these provisions, you will understand why it is so important to call these people out. For starters, it includes the NICS Denial Notification Act. This would require federal authorities to refer those whose background checks are denied to state and local law enforcement when they attempt to purchase a firearm or obtain a license to carry…
Another part of the bill would allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to deputize members of local law enforcement to do its dirty work. “This provision is a direct attack against states with Second Amendment Protection Acts (SAPA),” according to Ammoland News. These bills prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies from enforcing federal gun laws. With this provision, the ATF can essentially make local police officers into federal authorities, meaning they can get around SAPA laws.

Only small change would be from citizen to criminal.
Adam “Quislinger” mentioned above is a neocon futhermucker and it was announced yesterday that he will be exploring a Presidential run. Biden made him think an incompetent virtue signaling ignoramus might stand a chance. He voted for this shit and is D rated by the NRA. Twelve of his relatives signed a letter stating he has joined the “Devil’s Army.”
He doesn’t do any pre announced events in the district anymore. We only get to see and hear he was at an event for the local Globalist butt boys “yesterday” because he knows there will be 500 hundred people throwing tomatoes at him if we know he’s coming. He has totally sold out his district.
In fairness, the Heinz kid got out of it when it became apparent (to us) that this was a dirty deal. What level of filth have you attained when you want the commoners to sacrifice their kids so your kids can get in on the graft?
I know Tulsi Gabbard was involved in the WEF’s young leaders program. And I know her economic ideas are far left. But damn, she is as anti war as they come and she is not afraid to shot at the big assholes like Hillary, Kamala, and Romney. Plus she is better looking than anyone else who have run for President in my lifetime.
I’m wary of her, but as long as she going after the military-industrial complex and the taking aim at the elitist politicians, she has my support.
She has — at least historically — been a 2d Amendment threat as well as an open borders advocate … enough in my mind to remove her from serious consideration.
Nikki Haley, too — too pro-zionist/pro-israel even as Governor — as well as when she was Trump’s Secretary of State …
Finding truly conservative republican candidates will be an enormous chore … and we need not only true conservatives in the White House, but with enormous majorities in both the House and the Senate — otherwise it will be ‘business as usual’ for the rest of US.
Stand with Ukraine
Romney is just following the Rules for Radicals playbook: accuse others of what you youself are doing
Put a dress on Romney, and you have Nancy Pelosi….
Glove Romney more than almost any other lawmaker has done more to damage our country than anyone else I can think of. He is a treasonous buffoon and I can’t understand why the people of Utah keep re-electing this creep. Tulsi is really a modern day profile in courage. BRAVO Tulsi!
