The Siege Of Mariupol Continues

 

Daily Mail: Starving Ukrainians have resorted to 'attacking each other for food' and looting pharmacies in besieged Mariupol, Red Cross reveals as deputy mayor says 1,200 bodies have been 'collected on the streets' 

* Mariupol has been without power, food or water for days amid constant bombardment from Russian forces 

* Supplies are so low, starving families are fighting for food and looting pharmacies in harrowing scenes 

* Bodies are piling up on the street with an estimated 1,207 dead in the city which saw no evacuations today 

Bodies are piling up on the streets of Mariupol where starving Ukrainians have resorted to fighting each other for food in the desperate conditions in the besieged port city. 

Residents have been sheltering for days without food, water and power in below freezing weather amid constant bombardment from Putin's forces, which saw a maternity hospital shelled yesterday, killing three people including a six-year-old girl. 

This is despite Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov claiming that all women and nurses were evacuated from the hospital and it was deliberately targeted because it had been taken over by Ukrainian radicals, dismissing the Western reaction as a 'pathetic outcry'.

Horrible is not a very accurate word.

So we now understand that the US government has been funding (managing/owning) off book biological labs in Ukraine. Labs that have been there for years. Labs that have been researching horrific germs that they now fear might fall into the hands of the Russian invaders. Because they were not evacuated or destroyed when the Russians were massing on the eastern, northern and southern borders.

The labs exist and the labs are US governed. That is a fact.

And now we have a situation wherein we can believe NOTHING that is stated by Ukraine, Russian or US governments.

Day 14. Good morning. Video: Kherson - the only regional capital that has fallen. Ukrainian crowd of protestors gets angry after Russian troop start beating up a protestor. Russians open fire (in the air) and that does not stop but mobilize protestors. Pure anger and no fear

"Fort Detrick is a United States Army Futures Command installation located in Frederick, Maryland. Historically, Fort Detrick was the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969. Since the discontinuation of that program, it has hosted most elements of the United States biological defense program."

Who would have a problem with a biological defense program?

At the best the US government was conducting research for the defense program in Ukraine that was considered too risky or illegal in the US. We have seen how Fauci, a mandarin, conducted research in China that was considered too risky to conduct in the US and may have gone against President Obama's wishes. Think about that Fauci, a mandarin, going against Congress and the president.

At worst it was a research for an offensive program to get around the law. There has been a lot of going around the law such as the CIA spying on Trump by using the British and Australian governments. There is illegal data gathering time and time again.

For all the illegal data gathering the average US citizen is not safer with a wide open southern border. All the illegal data gathering won't stop an attack inside the US, if certain people use hawala and couriers. So what do we get for unpunished Mandarins?

I have no problem with a defensive program except for two points. One the US G in all its wisdom left elements of this program gift wrapped on Russia's doorstep. Two, it is a real bitch to set up research facilities of the type you will not risk in your own country. That does not play well with the world at large regardless, if there is a Russia or a China in existence.

Maybe this explains something. Other than many agencies in the USG being decidedly pro Democrat Party, the reluctance to investigate the Biden's has not as much to do with protecting a few individuals like Biden as that if the string is pulled things like this program come out. Well they are out. Can we get rid of the corrupt, incompetent sickly geezer already?

Andrew Jackson
A true patriot, someone who truly loves his or her nation and its people, MUST hold the powerful accountable and call out their lies.
Ww cannot rush into a war with Russia if so much is based on lies

It's not just this time and these biolab
Have you forgotten Wuhan and the financing through the NIH and Peter D.?
Have you forgotten all the previous lies about wars, eg Iraq's WMDs that never were there? Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed. You ok with that? You go tell God you're ok with that. I know I'm not.

And we must, we absolutely must know the truth about these labs and we still haven't gotten all the answers about Fauci's lies.

Just when do YOU stand up for what's right?
It's your responsibility too to not be misled by the same media outlets that have caused so much misery around the world and at home

You have a duty, sir

I know you'll do the right thing

Former Russian spy Donald Trump has been a Russian asset for 40 years - trump post

Anonymous said...

No one here is a Putin lover, fck Putin ok?
What he does is horrible

Now can we move on and clear our own house?

They've taken trillions from us during covid

Misled us into wars that cost blood and several trillion on top

We're being misled
Made poor
Made dependent on the state soon
And they are putting everything together, from patriot act to a spy state to call everyone who disagrees with their plundering of our treasure a terrorist

This cannot go on much longer
And they will keep distracting us with wars and other events

For you to not look up and hold them accountable, they must keep you looking left and right

That you cannot see the obvious

ENEMIES FOREIGN - AND - WITHIN

they're doing it, today, yesterday, 20 years ago.. it's time to wake up, smell the coffee and then fcking hold these bastards accountable before they start another catastrophe to keep us distracted and fighting among each other

We must, we absolutely must unite or they will rule us through division

US policy here is based on a myriad of assumptions that should they prove false this whole thing ends in unmitigated disaster. Not only can we not trust our government but given prior errors they've made trusting their judgment is going to be problematic as well.

As for Ukraine, it was a corrupt badket case before the war. While it didn't deserve west's happened to it, trying to rehabilitate it into something it wasn't as the current messaging is trying to do would be comical if it weren't so serious. Of course nothing they say should be trusted.

Much of the assumptions our policies seem to be based on appear to be supported by former Russian officials. Russia is an adversary. There's a real possibility we're being fed misinformation and without competent intelligence personnel to evaluate it this could be a major issue.

B Poster, the alleged Texas corporate accountant, is here posting during working hours during the height of the tax season.

Is the secretary filing the returns and B Poster merely rubber stamping them?

As for Ukraine, it was a corrupt basket case before the war.

Russia is not also a corrupt basket case? Without the Siberian oil wealth would not Russia also have the same GDP person?

Do Russian oligarchs and Ukrainian oligarchs operate differently?

Does B Poster operate like a Russian oligarch. He is here commenting during work hours, while making money ...?

Former Russian spy Donald Trump has been a Russian asset for 40 years - trump post

The above was linked to Extra Bad Shit


Who could have linked it? Anybody or the blog owner.

I have some questions:

1a) If Trump is a Russian asset, how come the FBI have jot arrested or charged him?

1b) If they want to and can't what does that say about the competency of the FBI & CIA?


2) What about the NSFW pics. Why are those free? Is anything in the world truly free? Many of those pics are of Ukrainians and Russian women for some odd reason. Are Russian women stupid and do not know how to monetize their pictures or content? Or are those pictures a Trojan Horse loaded with Russian malware?

You know the adage. If you get something for free via the internet, you are the product.

What could the FSB or Russian hackers do with computers infected via pictures?

Slave them and use them for denial of service attacks.

But it was free, FREE, FREE! I tell ya!

It does not worry you that the pics you download are free?

Does it not bother you that they could be Trojans?

Are you that fucking mindless?
