#1 Good idea. Were they possibly Soviet, that is to say Russian, originally?

Yep, 2005: ThreatReduction Program Extends Reach to Ukrainian Biological Facilities
U.S. cooperation with Ukraine under the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program was expanded Aug. 29 with an agreement to use U.S. CTR funds to improve security for pathogens stored at biological research and health facilities in the former Soviet republic.

Under the agreement, CTR funds will for the first time flow directly to projects aimed at securing pathogen strains and sensitive biological knowledge within Ukraine. The United States also will work to improve Ukrainian capabilities to detect, diagnose, and treat outbreaks of infectious diseases, as well as determine whether outbreaks are natural or the result of bioterrorism.

The agreement was signed during the visit to Kiev of a high-level U.S. delegation led by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

Among the facilities in Ukraine intended to receive security upgrades are those once linked to the Soviet-era anti-plague network, which continue to store libraries of naturally occuring pathogens for the purposes of research and public health. Andy Fisher, spokesperson for Lugar, told Arms Control Today on Sept. 15 the anti-plague facilities “were threats and they are threats,” given the risk that poor security could allow terrorists access to pathogens. Fisher also cited the possibility that outdated operating procedures and equipment could result in the unintentional leakage of pathogens from these facilities, endangering the public health of the region.

#3 Ah, so now the little cvnt who more than anyone is to blame for this disaster is telling us the bioweapons labs that didn't exist actually do exist.

"Fuck the EU"? Nope: Fuck U, Vicky.

#4 Here's the transcript of that recorded conversation in 2014 Vicky Nuland and Geoff Pyatt (will Pyatt take the Fifth?) conspiring to place puppets atop their little Ruritanian adventure.

#5 Read the BBC's posted transcript before it gets memory-holed.

Here's one of many disgusting exchanges between US ambassador-Conspirator Pyatt and partner in crime Nuland. Shit-for-brains Biden has a long history here.

Pyatt: ...we could land jelly side up on this one if we move fast. So let me work on Klitschko and if you can just keep... we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing. The other issue is some kind of outreach to Yanukovych but we probably regroup on that tomorrow as we see how things start to fall into place.

Nuland: So on that piece Geoff, when I wrote the note [US vice-president's national security adviser Jake] Sullivan's come back to me VFR [direct to me], saying you need [US Vice-President Joe] Biden and I said probably tomorrow for an atta-boy and to get the deets [details] to stick. So Biden's willing.

Pyatt: OK. Great. Thanks.

#11 Kerry, Gensler, Yellen, Nuland. They just keep re-appearing like cockroaches after the Ice Age. They won't [metaphorically] die off.

#15 1. Spread jelly on slice of bread (one side only, please).
2. Toss slice aloft, gently imparting a bit of spin.
3. Ponder implication of heads vs. tails.

#16 4. Consider repeating experiment with edible jelly, as in fruit.

#19 Conspiracy Theorists, like Babylon Bee, are tomorrow's news today, and have a remarkable batting average right now.

And if a person really wanted to stay up all night, consider what part of an overall plan required the research gained by torturing puppies to death.
