Gabbard Drops Receipts Detailing US-Funded Biolabs

Gabbard Drops Receipts Detailing US-Funded Biolabs

TYLER DURDEN

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified a set of internal intelligence slides documenting a long-running US program that has funded a worldwide network of biolabs that handle dangerous pathogens - including dozens in Ukraine. 

Gabbard, who is set to leave her post at the ene of this month, said that the documents are "new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries," with over 40 of those in Ukraine, adding that this information has been "knowingly withheld from the American people." She accused US officials, along with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration's national security team, of having "lied to the American people about the existence" of the labs.

"Now, despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact that research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians and so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, as well as entities within the Biden administration’s national security team, lied repeatedly to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs," Gabbard said, adding "Not only did they lie, they threatened those who attempted to expose the truth."

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

Gabbard tied the release to Executive Order 14292, which President Trump signed in May 2025 to end federal funding of gain-of-function research, and said she had directed the intelligence community to step up collection on the labs. The release is part of a wave of declassifications in her final weeks; an ODNI official has said she is working to release documents on the origins of CV before her departure.

The existence of the U.S.-funded labs has been public for years: the Pentagon published fact sheets on the program, the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv described it in 2020, and Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland acknowledged Ukraine's "biological research facilities" in Senate testimony in March 2022 - in what Glenn Greenwald framed at the time as "with palpable pen-twirling discomfort and in halting speech, a glaring contrast to her normally cocky style of speaking in obfuscatory State Department officialese - acknowledged: “uh, Ukraine has, uh, biological research facilities.” 

 Any hope to depict such "facilities” as benign or banal was immediately destroyed by the warning she quickly added: “we are now in fact quite concerned that Russian troops, Russian forces, may be seeking to, uh, gain control of [those labs], so we are working with the Ukrainiahhhns [sic] on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach”

Awkward...

U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says Washington is working with Ukraine to prevent biological research facilities from falling into Russian hands. She just confirmed every conspiracy theory about the existence of those labs. pic.twitter.com/ynkd7hW6iK

Uranium, Hormuz and billions for Tehran: Inside the deal to end the war

Uranium, Hormuz and billions for Tehran: Inside the deal to end the war

Danny Zaken

Iran has agreed to hand over its enriched uranium, forgo enrichment in the long term and open the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions. The clause that paved the way for understandings: the release of up to $15 billion for humanitarian needs, under Qatari supervision. Should the final details be concluded and agreed, the emerging expectation is that the deal will be signed early next week, most likely in Geneva, Switzerland.

However, the clause that paved the way for progress was actually the economic one: a US willingness to release $12 billion to $15 billion for humanitarian needs, in several installments and under supervision through Qatar. Asked whether this meant that the overarching strategic goal of regime change had been shelved, a senior US official answered in two words: "For now."

Should the final details be concluded and agreed, the emerging expectation is that the deal will be signed early next week, most likely in Geneva, Switzerland.

According to the diplomatic sources, the issue of the Strait of Hormuz is addressed in detail in the memorandum: The passage will be opened in full upon the signing, without restrictions and without fees, and Iran will be required to provide information on the mines it placed in the strait, or to clear them itself. In return, the US will move its naval vessels away from the area after the opening.

One issue remains unresolved: the Lebanon clause. The Americans are prepared for a ceasefire in accordance with the latest terms, meaning one that leaves Israel with the ability to respond to an emerging threat, while Iran is demanding a full ceasefire. However, according to the diplomatic sources' assessment, this gap will not be an obstacle, and the issue will be discussed in the next stage of negotiations.

The turning point in the contacts, as stated, was economic: the US willingness to release $12 billion in the first stage, or $15 billion according to another version, in several installments. The money is intended solely for civilian-humanitarian needs, including the purchase of food and medicine.

For its part, Iran agreed to a significant concession: supervision and payment would be carried out through Qatar, and not independently. In return, it received consent to increase the amount.

At the same time, a gap remains over the timetable for the next stage: The Americans are demanding that the substantive negotiations begin within two weeks, while the Iranians are asking for 60 days.

The memorandum further states that all of the parties' demands will be raised in the future negotiations: on the US side, limiting the missile program and support for terrorist organizations backed by Tehran; and on the Iranian side, the withdrawal of US forces from the Gulf, international guarantees for the deal and renewed management of passage through Hormuz.

An interesting development has taken place in recent days: According to various reports, the United Arab Emirates has joined in supporting the deal, and President Mohammed bin Zayed even spoke with President Donald Trump.

According to diplomatic sources in the Gulf, bin Zayed believes the Americans have decided to reach a deal soon, and therefore entered the picture to ensure that the substantive demands regarding Iran, beyond the nuclear issue, are indeed included in it.

Israel itself has remained outside the contacts, apart from receiving updates and raising issues with the Americans. Another open question is the position of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, regarding which contradictory reports are emerging from Iran. The assessment among the diplomatic sources is that the dominant forces within it will try to squeeze out additional gains until the last moment.

Even The Mainstream Media Is Admitting That The Coming Global Food Crisis Has Now Arrived

Even The Mainstream Media Is Admitting That The Coming Global Food Crisis Has Now Arrived

Michael Snyder

We have been warned for a long time that a nightmarish global food crisis was coming. We are facing an unprecedented fertilizer shortage, extremely high diesel prices and long-term droughts in many of the most important food producing regions of the world, and now a “Super El Niño” is in the forecast. So a lot of experts have been projecting that we would experience a very serious global food crisis beginning in the second half of this year, but the truth is that it is already here.

In fact, even the mainstream media is openly admitting that it is already here. The following comes from a Telegraph article entitled “The hunger crisis experts warned about is here – and it’s about to get worse”…

Pregnant women in Kabul, sheep-herders outside of Modigushi, the urban-poor in Colombo. As the war in Iran passes 100 days, these are the people on the front line of a new hunger crisis.

Months ago, the UN cautioned that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz would push millions into hunger; now they say their worst fears are materialising.

A report produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), the UN’s food-assistance branch, found that 45 million additional people now face “critical” levels of food insecurity as a direct result of the war in the Gulf.

Officials with the World Food Program are having an “I told you so” moment.

They warned that if the Strait of Hormuz did not get reopened this would happen, and now they are being proven correct…

“We told the world the closure of the Strait was going to have a massive impact,” Dr Jean-Martin Bauer, the World Food Programme’s director of food security analysis, told The Telegraph.

“There have been impacts on energy markets, on trade, on shipping, and all these are combining to create this cost of living crisis affecting millions of people.”

In impoverished nations all over the planet, hunger is rapidly growing.

For example, just consider what has been going on in Somalia…

The proportion of Somali households that can no longer afford what the UN calls the “basic food basket” – things like cooking oil and grains – has risen from 47 to 60 per cent in late 2025, according to the WFP’s analysis.

It means ultimately an additional 2.5 million people in Somalia could be unable to afford a basic food basket by the end of the year.

Of course this is just the beginning.

Globally, a lot less nitrogen fertilizer will be used this year as a result of the crisis in the Middle East, and one UN official is telling us that the effect this is having on food production is becoming “increasingly visible”…

The greatest risk of the Strait of Hormuz closure for the agri-food industry is not an immediate food shortage, but a fertilizer and production shock. This was the opinion of the UN FAO’s director-general, Qu Dongyu, speaking at the 181st Session of the FAO Council (June 8–12). As the crisis hit its 100-day mark, he said the effects of the crisis on farmers globally are “increasingly visible.”

Dongyu gave recommendations for countries to address the impacts of the Strait of Hormuz crisis, particularly “the urgent need for efficient fertilizer use” as global agri-food systems face “unprecedented challenges.” Farmers across Asia, Africa, and Latin America are grappling with higher production costs and “difficult choices regarding fertilizer use and crop decisions,” he said.

It really doesn’t matter if the U.S. and Iran can reach some sort of an agreement now or not.

The damage that has been done to the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere is irreversible at this stage.

And now a “Super El Niño” is coming.

In fact, the beginning of El Niño conditions has been confirmed in the equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean…

A long-anticipated and dramatic global climate shift has arrived, federal forecasters said June 11 as they confirmed the start of El Niño conditions.

The announcement also adds to mounting evidence suggesting this El Niño will be unusually strong, potentially supercharging droughts, heavy rainfall events and heat waves.

Now we shall wait to see how strong this El Niño will become.

Many are forecasting that it will be the strongest El Niño of all time, and if that turns out to be the case global food shortages will almost certainly get a whole lot worse.

Here in the United States, “a drier, warmer summer” is expected for the major food producing areas in our heartland…

There is potential for a drier, warmer summer across the Northwest, northern Plains, and the Upper Midwest, prolonging ongoing drought in some areas and increasing wildfire risk, according to AccuWeather. Overall, El Niño increases the chances of above-average temperatures across the northern and western United States.

We are already in the midst of an epic multi-year drought.

How much drier can things possibly get?

Unfortunately, conditions are expected to be exceedingly dry in other “breadbaskets” around the world too.

So brace yourself for much higher prices for wheat, corn, rice and barley in the months ahead.

This will have a dramatic impact in poor countries all over the planet, but it will also significantly affect us here in the United States too.

According to a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, we have already been witnessing a “remarkable increase in food insecurity” among low income U.S. households…

A new economic report identified a “remarkable” rise in food insecurity, potentially explaining gloomy consumer outlooks despite strong economic fundamentals.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released a report on Wednesday identifying uncertain access to adequate food and consumer pessimism on the rise in certain vulnerable groups across the country.

The report, which relies on newly collected data from the Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE), found a “remarkable increase in food insecurity, particularly among lower-educated and lower-income households and households with young children.”

It also identified “a contemporaneous increase in pessimism among the same groups, along with a sharp decline in job-finding expectations.”

In this generation, we have never seen as much hunger among l0w income U.S. households as we are witnessing now, and the truth is that conditions are going to get a whole lot worse.

The food crisis that we were all warned about has arrived, and the vast majority of the population is completely unprepared for it.

Travelers To Europe Face Up To 6 Hour Lines As New Biometric System Causes Delays

Travelers To Europe Face Up To 6 Hour Lines As New Biometric System Causes Delays

Sean Miller

Despite Europe opening its borders to third world Replacement Migration, the European Union has implemented biometric mandates for travelers from visa-exempt countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Travelers are reportedly facing lines up to six hours long as they wait to be fingerprinted and face-scanned into the new Entry/Exit System (EES). Some have even been required to get back in line to be fingerprinted and face-scanned again. Others have missed flights due to the delays.

The publication Afar detailed one traveler’s experience, and why the chaos may be the new normal:

British traveler David Newton told the U.K.’s iPaper that he and his family were stuck in a five-hour line at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG), causing them to miss their flight back to England this past spring. Forced to book a new return, they waited another four hours to check their bags, then went through the EES process all over again. In total, they spent 11 hours at the airport.

But Newton’s experience may not be an outlier. At the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) annual meeting in Rio de Janeiro this week, Rafael Schvartzman, IATA’s regional vice president for Europe, warned that EES could leave passengers facing “challenging waiting times” of “three, four, five, and even six hours.”

The scanning of travelers’ biometrics has replaced physical stamps in passports.

When travelers first enter one of the 29 European countries in the Schengen Area, they must create their biometric digital file at a self-service kiosk by scanning their passport and submitting their facial scan and fingerprints. That record lasts for three years and is then used by the border authorities of each of the 29 countries to verify the passenger’s identity when they enter and exit the country. To pass through the automated border gates, passengers must rescan their passport and resubmit their fingerprints and facial scan.

Scanning travelers’ hands and faces cannot fix Europe’s problems, as the traditional passport stamping method did not create Europe’s problems. Passport stamping did not cause long delays, invasions of privacy, or a massive rate of illegal entry. The open borders Replacement Migration program did.

While tightening border controls and reducing traveler privacy may appear to be a security measure, Europe has never been less secure or have less privacy than it does now.
