According to a Web Archive of a story titled, “Biolab Opens in Ukraine” posted to a site called BioPrepWatch.com (which is still online, by the way) on June 18, 2010, Obama, while still serving as a U.S. senator from Illinois, participated in negotiations for a deal to build a level-3 bio-safety laboratory in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. The piece, which also focused on similar efforts by the late Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), was also included in Issue No. 818 of the United States Air Force Counterproliferation Center’s Outreach Journal.
The story notes:
U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar applauded the opening of the Interim Central Reference Laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine, this week, announcing that it will be instrumental in researching dangerous pathogens used by bioterrorists.
The level-3 bio-safety lab, which is the first built under the expanded authority of the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, will be used to study anthrax, tularemia and Q fever as well as other dangerous pathogens.
“The continuing cooperation of Nunn-Lugar partners has improved safety for all people against weapons of mass destruction and potential terrorist use, in addition to advancements in the prevention of pandemics and public health consequences,” Lugar said.
Author Tina Redlup added: “Lugar said plans for the facility began in 2005 when he and then-Senator Barack Obama entered a partnership with Ukrainian officials. Lugar and Obama also helped coordinate efforts between the U.S and Ukrainian researchers that year in an effort to study and help prevent avian flu.”
The lab was part of the Nunn-Lugar Act, named after the Indiana Republican and former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), which established the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program in 1991 immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union. The program provided assistance and funding to former Soviet satellite countries to dismantle and then safeguard stockpiles of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
But obviously, it also established dangerous labs to handle extremely volatile substances, though not quite as volatile as the Level 4 biolab in Wuhan, China, that produced and then ‘accidentally released’ COVID-19.
According to a 2011 report from the National Academy of Sciences’ Committee on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories, the facility in Odessa “is responsible for the identification of especially dangerous biological pathogens.”
“This laboratory was reconstructed and technically updated up to the BSL-3 level through a cooperative agreement between the United States Department of Defense and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine that started in 2005. The collaboration focuses on preventing the spread of technologies, pathogens, and knowledge that can be used in the development of biological weapons,” the report noted.
“The updated laboratory serves as Interim Central Reference Laboratory with a depozitarium (pathogen collection). According to Ukrainian regulations, it has a permit to work with both bacteria and viruses of the first and second pathogenic groups,” it adds.
so the biolabs were opened for legit reasons and were in ukraine. why did or govt and the msm deny they were there? or am I remembering this differently? just because they were opened for one purpose does not mean they were used for another. maybe even used for illegit purposes while the legit operations were taking place.
I have known that we are in many ways.
For years the difference was you could speak freely in Russia but she could not say anything about the president or you would go to jail.
Well well where are we now?
Flynn was functioning as a DOD intelligence asset during that trip. That was revealed when the DOD was trying to claw back the $40,000 or so he made for appearing at the event. I’m not sure if that is good or bad, just a fact.
The documents, reviewed by Just the News, show Flynn in fact alerted his former agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, ahead of the dinner and got approval to use the trip to spy on Russia's leadership and specifically its GRU military intelligence unit.
Just a reminder or for those unaware,

Good context.
Wait, they were studying “Q Fever?” Well I got that Q Fever…and I never want it cured! KEK
Moar Qbell

Wait ----- I thought Russia was our enemy! How can a retired US General sit next to the Prime Minister of Russia? Hmmmmmm........
Maybe we are on the same page as Russia in many ways.

Proof that the Q team was active at some level even before the election

And InTheMatrixx also spammed the Roger Stone deepfake, that account glows as far as I'm concerned.
