The Enduring Conflicts of Our Time: Israel, Hamas, and the Role of Global Powers

 

The conflict between Israel and Hamas, most recently highlighted by the devastating attack on October 7th, 2023, reflects not only a deep-rooted historical and religious dispute but also a broader struggle for power, control, and influence in the region. As Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza and targets Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, the question arises: Why do Jews, Israelites, and Arabs continue to fight over this small piece of land when the world is so vast? And why do global powers, particularly the United States, consistently intervene in these conflicts as well as in others, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine?

To explore these questions, we must not only look at the history of the region but also at the geopolitical, economic, and environmental forces at play on the global stage.

Why Do Jews, Israelites, and Arabs Continue to Fight?

The conflict over the land of Israel and Palestine is as much about history, religion, and identity as it is about geography. The land holds immense religious significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, making it more than just territory; it is a symbol of faith, identity, and belonging.

1.     Religious Significance: For Jews, the land of Israel is their ancestral home, promised to them in their religious texts. For Muslims, Jerusalem is the third holiest site in Islam, and many Palestinians view the land as an integral part of their cultural and national identity. This clash of religious and historical narratives fuels the ongoing tension, making compromise difficult.

2.   Historical Grievances: The displacement of Palestinians during the establishment of Israel in 1948, and the subsequent wars, have left deep wounds on both sides. Israelis fear for their security in a region where they are often surrounded by hostile neighbors, while Palestinians seek recognition of their rights and the establishment of a state. These grievances have been passed down through generations, ensuring that the conflict continues.

3.   Geopolitical Interests: While the land itself is small, its location is strategic. Israel sits at the crossroads of the Middle East, a region rich in resources like oil and gas and with key maritime routes. Control over this region has long been of interest to global powers, adding an additional layer of complexity to the conflict.

The Role of the United States: Why Do They Keep Intervening?

The United States has been a central player in global conflicts, from the Middle East to Eastern Europe. But why do they intervene so consistently, whether in Israel and Palestine, or in the war between Russia and Ukraine?

1.     Geopolitical Power: The U.S. has long sought to maintain its influence on the global stage. By intervening in conflicts, they aim to shape the outcome in ways that align with their strategic interests. In the Middle East, maintaining a strong alliance with Israel is crucial for ensuring stability and influence in a region that is key to global energy supplies.

2.   Economic Interests: Some argue that many conflicts today are driven not by ideology or religion but by economic interests. Wars disrupt markets, drive up the price of commodities like oil and natural gas, and create opportunities for the arms industry and other sectors. The U.S., as a major economic power, benefits indirectly from these dynamics, whether through controlling resources or maintaining dominance in global markets.

3.   The War in Ukraine: In the case of the Russia-Ukraine war, the U.S. views Russia’s aggression as a threat to the post-World War II order that they helped establish. Ukraine represents the front line in a broader struggle between democratic nations and authoritarian regimes. By supporting Ukraine, the U.S. is not only defending a sovereign nation but also asserting its role as the guarantor of a global order built on rules and norms.

Is It About Religion, or Something More?

While religion and identity are certainly central to many conflicts, including the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, it is becoming increasingly clear that economic and geopolitical factors often play a more decisive role in driving wars. The global economy is intricately connected to these conflicts, as wars create shifts in markets, disrupt trade, and open opportunities for profit.

However, we cannot overlook another critical issue: the growing climate crisis. The devastation caused by climate change is directly linked to the actions of a few who prioritize profit over the planet. The wealthiest individuals and corporations, driven by greed, contribute disproportionately to environmental degradation, while the world’s poorest bear the brunt of its effects. Climate change is the result of decisions made by the excessively rich, who continue to exploit natural resources without considering the long-term consequences for the planet and humanity.

The Role of Climate Change in Global Instability

The consequences of climate change exacerbate existing global tensions. In regions like the Middle East, where water and arable land are already scarce, climate change intensifies competition over resources, leading to more conflict. Additionally, climate-related disasters, such as droughts, floods, and extreme heat, displace millions of people, creating new waves of refugees and increasing instability in already volatile regions.

In this context, the question arises: Are the conflicts we see today really about religious differences, or are they symptoms of a deeper, systemic issue rooted in greed and the quest for power?

Many believe that global elites and corporations are more interested in maintaining their wealth and control than in addressing the root causes of war, poverty, and environmental destruction. These powerful actors shape the world according to their interests, leaving the rest of society to deal with the consequences, whether through war, economic inequality, or environmental collapse.

A New Era: Could 2026 Be a Turning Point?

As the world faces these interconnected challenges, many hope that 2026 could mark the beginning of a global shift. There is growing awareness among people worldwide that the current system is unsustainable, and a change is needed to break the cycle of injustice that has long dominated society. This shift may come through grassroots movements, technological innovation, or a broader cultural awakening that prioritizes sustainability, equity, and peace over profit.

As people become more aware of the climate crisis and the role of the ultra-wealthy in perpetuating these conflicts, there is a growing sense that a reckoning is coming. In 2026, we may see a societal transformation, as the world demands a fairer, more just system that puts people and the planet above the interests of a small elite.

The World Pays for the Mistakes of the Few

In many ways, the global community continues to pay the price for the decisions of a few powerful leaders and elites. Whether it’s the U.S. intervening in yet another war, or billionaires profiting from global instability, it seems that ordinary people are the ones who suffer most. Resources that could be used to improve education, healthcare, and the environment are instead funneled into military budgets and reconstruction efforts after wars that never seem to end.

This cycle raises an important question: Are these wars truly about protecting religious identity or national sovereignty? Or are they, at their core, about maintaining control over resources, money, and power?

Conclusion: A Call for Reflection and Understanding

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, like many of today’s wars, reflects not just a struggle over land, but a broader battle for influence, control, and, increasingly, the sustainability of our planet. The role of global powers, especially the United States, is pivotal in shaping the outcomes of these conflicts. However, as we reflect on the history of the region and the current state of world affairs, it’s clear that the global population, particularly the most vulnerable, often pay the highest price.

As wars continue and economies shift, climate change looms as an existential threat that could exacerbate global instability if not addressed. The actions of the few — driven by profit and power — have created a world where both conflict and environmental collapse seem inevitable, but 2026 might be a turning point. It could mark the beginning of a global awakening, where people worldwide demand an end to the cycle of injustice and begin building a fairer, more sustainable future.

THIRD and Last PROPHECY of The VIRGIN FATIMA 1917 - BE AWARE

 

 

"When the world is asking for peace and security and repenting for all the evil it has done, sudden destruction, the new Armageddon, will come, and they will suffer."

These were the prophecies of the Virgin of Fatima when three children appeared in 1917 and said that by the dates of 2005, the end would come. Lucia was only 10 years old when the apparitions occurred, which began on May 13, 1917. Lucia and her two cousins saw the Virgin Mary on a tree for a period of six months. The Carmelite nun Lucia of the Immaculate Heart, the last survivor of the three children who claimed to see the Virgin Mary in the Portuguese town of Fatima, died at the age of 97 on February 14, 2005. She died in the convent of Coimbra where she had lived since 1948. This message was read by Pope John Paul II, who decided not to reveal this secret because he considered that doing so would bring panic and despair to the world. Now another part of this message is revealed.

NOT TO CAUSE PANIC, BUT BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED THAT PEOPLE ARE ALREADY PREPARED TO KNOW IT AND CAN BE AWARE OF WHAT IS APPROACHING IN THE COMING DATES. 

Sister Lucia first disclosed the message to Pope John Paul II, who, upon finishing reading it, was trembling and decided not to make it public out of fear of the reaction. The Virgin said explicitly to Lucia: "Do not be afraid, dear little one. I am the Mother of Heaven, speaking to you and asking you to make this message public to the entire world. By doing so, you will encounter strong resistance. Listen well and pay attention to what I say: Men must be corrected. With humble supplications, they must ask forgiveness for sins committed and those they may commit. Do you want me to give you a sign so that each one accepts my words that, through you, I say to humanity? You saw the prodigy of the Sun, and everyone, believers, unbelievers, peasants, citizens, wise men, journalists, laypeople, priests, all saw. A great punishment will fall upon the entire human race, not today, not tomorrow, but in the second half of the 20th century. I had already revealed it to the children Melania and Maximino, in 'la Salette,' and today I repeat it to you because the human race has sinned and trampled on the gift it is given. Nowhere in the world is there order, and Satan reigns over the highest positions, determining the course of things. "Because men are being led by the demon, sowing hatred and revenge everywhere. Men manufacture deadly weapons that can destroy the world in minutes. Half of humanity may be horribly destroyed. There will be conflicts between religious orders. God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, inclement weather, terrible disasters, and extremely cold winters like those of these times to end the earth gradually, There will be incurable diseases, people mocking saints and the church. There will be uncontrolled killings, people will kill each other, many people will suffer. Some natural phenomena will happen before 2005 and will continue thereafter with greater intensity and destruction; the climate will change suddenly, extreme weather. They will not survive, lack of charity towards others and not loving each other as my son loved them. Many will wish to be among the dead because millions will lose their lives in seconds and suffer too much; new forms of life will come and contribute to destruction to gain more power for themselves and thus propagate their new race. The punishments that lie ahead of us, on Earth, are unimaginable, but they will come, without a doubt. God helps the world, but whoever does not bear witness to fidelity and loyalty to Him will be irreversibly destroyed because many have already turned their backs on Him and He can do nothing about it." Father Agostinho, residing in Fatima, received permission from Pope Paul VI to visit Sister Lucia. Father Agostinho expresses that she received him very saddened, with tears in her eyes, and said to him: "Father, Our Lady is very sad because no one has cared about her prophecy of 1917; people do not care about this prophecy. Thus, while the good ones have to follow a narrow path, the wicked are going on a broad path that leads them directly to destruction, and believe, Father, that punishment will come very soon from 2006 and will come without being able to stop it. Many souls may be lost, and many nations and states will disappear from the Earth; the world may be lost forever. The time has come for everyone to convey the message of Our Lady to their families, friends, and the whole world. We are close to the last minute, the last day, and the catastrophe is coming.               (BEWARE) WHAT AWAITS US? Everywhere talks about peace and security, but punishment will come without anything that can stop it. A MEANINGLESS WAR WILL CAUSE NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION. This war can destroy everything; it will be a disaster. Darkness will then fall upon us for 72 hours (3 days), and the third part that survives these 72 hours of darkness and sacrifice will begin to live in a new era. On a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, A GREAT EARTHQUAKE will shake the earth for 8 hours. The good, those who propagate the prophecy of the Virgin of Fatima, SHOULD NOT FEAR, but others will suffer the consequences of ignoring this warning; the earthquake will cause the destruction of a large part of the earth; some parts will separate and cause great disaster!

WHAT TO DO?

Sister Lucia says that the Virgin asks:

"Do not leave your house and do not let anyone strange enter it; new and unknown people will come, appearing to be good, and they will tell you to join them, to their new race and way of life, do not pay attention!.. These new 'people' will take advantage of the catastrophe that will happen in the world (earth)....

Sister Lucia continues according to what was revealed to her:  So that you may prepare and remain alive, like my children who also are; I will give you the following signs:

The night will be very cold. Strong winds will blow. There will be anguish, and soon an earthquake will begin that will shake the earth strongly. At home, close doors and windows and do not speak to anyone who is not inside it. Do not look outside; do not be curious, for this will be the wrath of the Lord. Light blessed candles, for three days, no other light will be able to illuminate. The movement will be so violent that it will move the earth 23 degrees and then return to its normal position. Then a total and complete darkness will come that will cover the entire Earth. Every evil spirit will roam freely, doing much harm to the souls that did not want to hear this message and to those who do not want to repent. Everything will be dark, and a great mystical cross will appear in the sky to remind us of the price that His Son paid for our redemption. Sister Lucia continues to relate what the Virgin entrusted to her:

Implore the following: "O God, forgive our sins, save us from the fire of hell, and take all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of your mercy."

Those who believe in the message that God sends and convey the message to others should not fear anything on the Great Day of the Lord.

Those who remain silent now will be responsible for this large number of souls lost due to ignorance.

When the Earth no longer trembles, those who still do not believe in our Lord will die horribly. The wind will bring gas and rain everywhere. Then the sun will rise. Many can live after this catastrophe, but once it starts, they should not look outside for any reason because God does not want any of His children to see when He punishes these sinners, He does not want them to see how they suffer, and He does not want them to see the pain that these evil people cause them.

It must be understood that God allows all this to happen, and it must be understood that God will punish all those who did not hear Him; this text says so, and that is why so much panic has been caused because God will unleash His uncontrollable anger against all those who are hurting the world.

Remember that the word of God is not a threat but good news, special; perhaps God allows it to be so because He wants to save them for Himself.

     Text Summary: The Third and Last Prophecy of the Virgin Fatima - Be Aware. According to Saint Lucia, the Virgin of Fatima prophesied in 1917 that the world would face sudden destruction and suffering around 2005. Lucia, one of the three children who witnessed the apparitions, revealed the message to Pope John Paul II in 2005 before her death. The message warned of a future where humanity, directed by evil, would face conflicts, natural disasters, diseases without cures, and wars between religious orders.

The Virgin Mary foretold a great punishment in the second half of the 20th century, including the manufacture of deadly weapons capable of destroying the world. The Earth would experience unprecedented natural phenomena, diseases, uncontrolled murders, and a lack of charity. The prophecy hinted at events before 2005, with increasing intensity thereafter. Lucia urged people to repent and seek forgiveness for their sins.

The revelation continued, predicting a time when a senseless war would trigger a nuclear disaster, resulting in darkness for 72 hours. Survivors, especially those who spread the Virgin of Fatima's prophecy, were advised not to fear but to prepare for a new era. Lucia emphasized the importance of staying indoors during the catastrophe, cautioning against trusting strangers who might exploit the situation.

Incorporating Global Events: The text, originating from a 1917 prophecy, does not specifically mention events like Covid-19, but its warnings about diseases without cures and natural disasters could be interpreted in the context of global health crises and climate change. Additionally, the mention of wars and conflicts aligns with on-going geopolitical tensions post-2005.

While the text doesn't directly reference specific dates for global events, the period it alludes to coincides with the occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic (starting around 2019). Post-2005, various conflicts and wars have unfolded globally, contributing to the tumultuous landscape described in the prophecy.

Anyone who has read the book Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma" by Robert F. Kennedy Jr,

 

https://www.editionsmarcopietteur.com/resurgence/316-anthony-fauci-bill-gates-et-big-pharma-9782874341953.html

and the numerous articles by investigative journalist Whitney Webb on US programs related to biological weapons,

https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/category/engineering-contagion-amerithrax/

will understand why the statements of the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, concerning the bacteriological weapons developed in Ukraine by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the United States, are credible.

Most citizens, and even a good number of elected officials in the United States are unaware of all these secret programs which are nevertheless carried out with taxpayers' money, allegedly to "prevent pandemics".

With this sudden Russian military operation, the small minority of insiders in the know were taken aback and obviously could not eliminate all the traces that constitute evidence at the UN now.

When we consider the links, not apparent but proven, which unite the Epstein-Maxwell-Brunel affair, the "pandemic" of Covid-19, the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum, and now Ukraine, we can only say interrogate:

- Does the real threat for Ukraine and for the world come from Russia or from these actors who work behind the scenes, not for a particular country, but for their own interests?

- why do the Biden government, most European governments, the Canadian government and the Australian government support the interests of these actors and not the interest of their respective countries?

The day when these links will become obvious to the eyes of the whole world, and consequently the extent of the disinformation initiated by these governments with the complicity of the media, the populations will no longer be able to accept anything from them. Looks like that day is coming...

Russia denounces to the UN, with supporting evidence, the biological weapons of the plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera… March 13, 2022

 

by The Media in 4-4-2.

Here is the statement of the Permanent Representative of Russia, Vassily Nebenzia, during a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) briefing on biological laboratories in Ukraine. The latter announces that Russia has obtained documents confirming that Ukraine was carrying out extremely dangerous biological experiments, aimed at improving the pathogenic properties of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and others deadly diseases using synthetic biology. All funded and overseen by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)

Mme.President,

Colleagues,

COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how vulnerable humanity is in the face of biological threats. It has exacted a huge toll on us, and it continues to claim people’s lives.

When the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) entered into force in 1975, there was hope that the world would at least be safe from manmade biological threats, because all states-signatories realized enormous risks of using biological weapons (BW) and abandoned plans to develop it.

Unfortunately, we have grounds to think that those hopes did not come true completely.

We called this meeting because during the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, some shocking facts came to light: the Kiev regime is urgently concealing traces of a military biological program that Kiev implemented with support of the US Department of Defense.

Defense Ministry of Russia got hold of documents confirming that Ukraine developed a network of at least 30 biological laboratories that host extremely dangerous biological experiments, aimed at enhancing the pathogen properties of plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera, and other lethal diseases with the help of synthetic biology. This work is funded and directly supervised by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of the United States, i.a. in the interests of Pentagon’s National Center for Medical Intelligence. The key role in these programs was played by a BSL-3 central reference laboratory at the Mechnikov Scientific-Research Anti-Plague Institute in Odessa, Ukraine. Research centers in other cities also played a role – Kiev, Lvov, Kharkov, Dnipro, Kherson, Ternopol, Uzhgorod, Vinnytsia. Research results were sent to US military biological centers, i.a. to U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infections Diseases, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, US Naval Medical Research, and US Army Biological Warfare Labs in Fort Detrick that used to be the key hubs of the American biological weapons program.

All the materials are available at the website of Russian Ministry of Defense and are presented at daily briefings. Let me cite the most telling examples.

Russian military learned the details of UP-4 project which was implemented at laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa. It studied possibilities of spreading particularly dangerous infections through migratory birds, including highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza (lethal to humans in 50 % of cases) and Newcastle disease. As part of another project, bats were considered as carriers of potential BW agents. Among the priorities identified are the study of bacterial and viral pathogens that can be transmitted from bats to humans: pathogens of plague, leptospirosis, brucellosis, as well as coronaviruses and filoviruses. Project documents clearly indicate that the United States actively financed bioprojects in Ukraine.

Besides, there were experiments to study spreading of dangerous infectious diseases by ectoparasites – fleas and lice. It is clear even to non-experts that such experiments are most reckless, as they give no opportunity to control how the situation is going to evolve. Similar research (using fleas and lice as BW agents) was carried out in the 1940s on the development of biological weapons components by the Japanese infamous unit 731, whose members later fled to the US to escape prosecution for war crimes.

Ukraine has a unique geographical location, where transcontinental migration routes of potential carriers of dangerous diseases intersect. Many of those routes pass through the territories of Russia and Eastern Europe. The research that I mentioned was done in the very midst of Eastern Europe and in close vicinity to the Russian borders. According to the data received, the birds that were ringed and released during biological research from the Kherson nature reserve, were caught in Ivanovo and Voronezh regions of Russia.

The analysis of the obtained materials confirms the transfer of more than 140 containers with ectoparasites of bats from a biolab in Kharkov abroad. We do not know anything about the fate of those dangerous biomaterials and the consequences that may occur once they “dissipate” (possibly in Europe) in the absence of any international control. In any case, risks are high that they may be stolen for terrorist purposes or to be sold at the black market.

Several thousands of samples of blood serum of COVID-19 patients (most of them of Slavic ethnicity) were transported from Ukraine to Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in the United Stated – allegedly for trials of treatment and prevention of COVID-19.

Everyone knows how sensitive Western states are when it comes to transferring biological samples of their citizens abroad. And there is a good reason for that – theoretically, samples may be used to create bioagents capable of selectively targeting different ethnic populations.

The activity of biolabs in Ukraine that we track back to 2014, and US-implemented program of so-called reform of Ukrainian healthcare system triggered uncontrolled growing incidence of dangerous and economically relevant infections in Ukraine. There is an increase in the number of cases of rubella, diphtheria, tuberculosis. Occurrence of measles has increased more than 100-fold. The World Health Organization said Ukraine runs high risks of having a polio outbreak. There is evidence that in Kharkov, where one of the labs is located, 20 Ukrainian soldiers died of swine flu in January 2016, 200 more were hospitalized. By March 2016, the total of 364 people had died of swine flu in Ukraine. Besides, outbreaks of African swine fever occur regularly in Ukraine. In 2019, there was an outbreak of a disease that had symptoms similar to plague.

While the US itself shut down military-purpose biological research on its territory due to high risks it posed to American population, the Kiev authorities actually agreed to turn their country into a biological testing site and have their citizens used as potential test subjects. Those experiments bearing potential country-scale risks continued for years. This once again proves the cynicism of Kiev’s Western patrons who keep shouting from every rooftop that they care for the fate of Ukrainians.

As reported by Reuters, WHO recommended that Ukraine should eliminate its stocks of pathogens to avoid possible leaks that might trigger disease spread among the population. It is not known for sure whether Kiev has complied.

The materials that our Defense Ministry got hold of prove that all serious high-risk research in Ukrainian biolabs was directly supervised by US experts who had diplomatic immunity. Our Defense Ministry reports that at this moment the Kiev regime, as demanded by the Western sponsors, hastily covers up all traces so that the Russian side could not get hold of direct evidence of the US and Ukraine violating Article 1 of the BTWC. They rush to shut down all biological programs. Ukraine’s Health Ministry ordered to eliminate biological agents deposited in biolabs starting from 24 February 2022. We infer from the instructions to lab personnel that the order of elimination of collections suggested that they should be destroyed irrevocably. Having analyzed the destruction certificates, we can say that the Lvov lab alone destroyed 232 containers with pathogens of leptospirosis, 30 – of tularemia, 10 – of brucellosis, 5 – of plague. The total of more than 320 containers was eliminated. Pathogens’ titles and excessive amounts give reason to think that this work was done as part of military biological programs.

Now let me make a separate address to our colleagues from Europe.

All those years, there was a site for dangerous biological tests on the doorstep of the European Union. We call to think of a real biological threat to the population of European states that may be posed by uncontrolled spread of biological agents from Ukraine. As we know from our experience with COVID-19, this cannot be stopped. Should this be the case, it will encompass the entire Europe.

US representatives get rather confused when speaking about the US involvement in biological activity on the territory of Ukraine. During hearings of the US Congress on 8 March, Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland in fact confirmed that there were biolabs in Ukraine where military-purpose biological research had been conducted. When asked by Senator Marco Rubio whether Ukraine had biological and chemical weapons, she responded that Ukraine had biological research facilities that “should not fall in the hands of Russian forces”.

At the same time, the Department of State sticks to the point that allegedly there are no US-controlled biolabs in Ukraine. Hence a question to the American delegation. How does this reconcile with 2005 Agreement between the US Department of Defense and Ukrainian Ministry of Health Concerning Cooperation in the Area of Prevention of Proliferation of Technology, Pathogens, and Expertise that could be Used in the Development of Biological Weapons? This document is available on the Internet. According to Article 3 of this agreement, the US Department of Defense may provide assistance to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in the area of “cooperative biological research, biological threat agent detection and response” with regard to “dangerous pathogens located at the facilities in Ukraine”.

We emphasize that biological threats defy all borders. No region of the world can feel totally safe today. The United States supervises several hundreds of biolabs in 30 countries, i.a. in the Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia, and along the perimeter of former USSR. Washington does not agree to subject them to international verification. Starting from 2001, it has been impeding elaboration of a binding protocol to the BTWC that should envisage a reliable verification mechanism to monitor states’ compliance with the Convention. This cannot but make us think that the United States has something to conceal. I call on the colleagues from those regions to think of what sort of activity Washington is carrying out on their territories and what consequences it may have for the population.

We foresee the reaction of our Western colleagues who will definitely say that this information is all fake and Russian propaganda. However this sort of wishful thinking will hardly help Europeans should Ukraine and its neighboring states have outbreaks of dangerous diseases that would subsequently spread beyond their borders. This risk seems rather real if we take into account considerable interest that Ukrainian radical and nationalist groups have in research of dangerous pathogens that was conducted in Ukraine in the interests of the US Department of Defense. We have information that Pentagon instructed its Ukrainian protégés that, should any incidents occur, they should instantly accuse Russian Armed Forces who allegedly launch strikes against research and medical facilities, or blame it all on “Russian subversive teams”.

Russian Defense Ministry keeps analyzing the biological situation in Ukraine and all incoming materials. What we shared today is a small portion of information that we have. We will share the details shortly as UNSC official documents so that you could study them.

We feel obliged to keep the Security Council updated on the situation with US military-purpose biological activity in Ukraine that creates real risks for international peace and security. We intend to get back to this topic soon. We would not exclude a possibility of activating mechanisms envisaged by Articles 5 and 6 of the BTWC. For now, we would like to hear answers of the US side to the questions that we asked.

Thank you.

 

 

Right of reply:

Mr.President,

What are the takeaways of this discussion? As we supposed, none of our colleagues spoke to the point that we raised.

While my American colleague was “hurling thunderbolts”, accusing us (quite predictably) of propaganda, two things came to my mind. The first one is a Russian proverb that can be roughly translated as “a guilty mind is never at ease”. The louder our colleagues cry when making baseless attempts to shift the blame on us, the more we believe that we hit a nerve when we raised their unseemly activities in Ukraine. Secondly, you cannot help recalling another episode that was repeatedly mentioned in various contexts. I mean C.Powell’s famous lab tube that he demonstrated in this very room and that served as a formal reason for US invasion of Iraq that caused an enormous number of victims and huge damage. It affected the entire region and triggered i.a. creation of ISIL terrorist organization. Our Albanian colleague talked about a Pandora’s box today. Well, this was a Pandora’s Box. Many of you said you were not aware of Ukraine’s biological programs, but this does not mean they did not exist. Military research is a secret venture. Those engaged in it would not report it to USG Nakamitsu.

Think of Raqqa and Mosul that were razed to the ground. The US-led coalition buried thousands of civilian lives under the ruins of these cities. Dead bodies lay under the rubble for several months, and I can’t remember our colleagues spilling their righteous anger on that matter. We repeatedly raised it at UNSC meetings, but the topic simply died out and no one would get back to it. However not a day goes by without speculations about atrocities of Russian forces, daily attacks on hospitals, kindergartens, schools, maternity clinics, use of cluster bombs, which our Defense Ministry refuted repeatedly.

Maternity hospital #1 in Mariupol has become proverbial in this respect. Let me ask – did you listen to what we said here on Monday, 7 March? It was about militants and radicals turning this building in a gun post. We warned about it back then, but you would not listen, and you do not want to listen to what we say. You saw pictures of the maternity hospital allegedly hit by a bomb or missile. I also have them here. They show a building, windowless but not ruined. I bet you can imagine what should have happened to a building hit by a bomb or missile strike, and also to everyone inside. I have photo and video footage from inside the building. It shows a mess, furniture scattered upside down, and intact chairs.

Let me ask again: can you imagine what sort of damage would have been inflicted by a bomb or missile strike? Military experts could tell you. As a matter of fact, they already have. They demonstrated a photo of the crater next to the building. By all indications, it was caused by an underground explosion. In the meantime, we are told about 17 people injured in this building, and none killed. As a proof, we are supposed to accept staged photos of Ukrainian blogger Marianna Podgurskaya taken by AP stringer Evgeniy Maloletka. By the way, web users already discovered that she roleplays different women in different photos.

We are appalled by the vile and dirty campaign besmirching the Russian military, who are accused of attacking civil facilities on purpose. You blame us for fakes and propaganda, but you ignore an overwhelming amount of fakes, replicated by Ukrainian and Western centers for special psychological operations. At the same time, you keep shamefully silent about the fact that you almost cut off access to Russian sources of information. Over these days, we have learnt much about the freedom of speech which you believe yourselves to be champions of.

Let me respond to my British colleague who cited, incompletely as usual, the words of Minister Lavrov that we did not start a war. Here is the full quote: “We did not start the war, we want to put an end to it”. Indeed, it was not started by us, it was started 8 years ago by the Kiev authorities in Donbas.

Yesterday, a video was uploaded on the Internet depicting Ukrainians in military uniform somewhere near Kharkov who reportedly down Russian aircraft from a portable air defense launcher. Close by, there is a white vehicle (seemingly a Toyota) with UN insignia. Presumably, those people arrived on the scene by this vehicle. We already asked representatives of UN Secretariat about it, but were reassured that UN vehicles were not used by Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces (UN vehicles were previously reported to be used in Kramatorsk). We insist that the United Nations should investigate this incident. Even if it turns out that this car is not a UN vehicle, usage of UN insignia on transport that is used in hostilities is unacceptable.

Thank you.
