Three US Intel Officials Tell NBC News That the “Intelligence” Biden Released on Russia/Ukraine Was Made Up
NBC News on Wednesday evening casually admitted that the “intelligence” Biden released claiming Russia was planning a false flag operation as a pretext to invade Ukraine was totally made up.
There were also claims of chemical weapons or Russia asking China for help.
Apparently it was all made up.
NBC’s Ken Dilanian, one of the Biden Regime’s most loyal stenographers, tried his best to spin this in a positive light.
“It doesn’t have to be solid intelligence when we talk about it. It’s more important to get out ahead of them – Putin specifically – before they do something. It’s preventative,” a US intel official told NBC News.
Truly unbelievable.
Recall, Associated Press reporter Matt Lee called out State Department spokesman Ned Price over claims Russia was planning a false flag operation in order to invade neighboring Ukraine.
In February the Biden State Department claimed there was intel indicating Russia was going to use crisis actors to carry out a false flag event before invading Ukraine – but AP reporter Matt Lee wasn’t buying any of it and ripped into the Department’s spokesman.
“We have information indicating that Russia has also already prepositioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine – so that, is an action that Russia has already taken,” State Department spox Ned Price said to AP’s Matt Lee.
Matt Lee wasn’t buying it and accused the State Department of fabricating evidence.
“You have shown no evidence to confirm that…I mean this is like crisis actors? Really? This is like Alex Jones territory you’re getting into,” Matt Lee said.

Hunter's Laptop Is "Totally Irrelevant" Now That It's Been Validated: Atlantic Journo
"Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to attend a fire prevention speech delivered by an arsonist? Or perhaps a child safety seminar led by a pedophile? Well, that’s exactly what it felt like Wednesday during the University of Chicago’s “Conference on Disinformation and Erosion of Democracy,” featuring some of the greatest promulgators of disinformation and illiberalism in American history." -The Federalist
Self-proclaimed arbiters of 'disinformation' from CNN and The Atlantic made fools out of themselves this week, after college freshmen at the University of Chicago asked several bombshell questions that went largely unanswered.

Xiaoying was #Hunter and #KeyReid's office manager in Beijing at an opaque consultancy used to obscure both the VP and Senator Reid's son. Still trying to identify the husband but. my understanding he works for #Metabiota in #Wuhan Lab and formerly at a PA University and #CDC. Start asking those elected representatives to get off their asses. Nat Security can not wait till after midterms.

Matt Gaetz demands defense secretary declassify hypersonics briefing
Hypersonic missiles travel at least five times faster than the speed of sound.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday, demanding he declassify a March briefing on hypersonics to Congress that contradicts claims the secretary told him earlier this week.
The letter comes after Austin told the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that the United States is not behind Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons.
"When I mentioned the United States has indeed fallen behind China and Russia in hypersonic weapon development and fielding, you replied 'What do you mean we’re behind in hypersonics? How do you make that assessment?' This question was concerning considering the assessment was based in full on briefs I and other members of Congress have received from your Department’s subject matter experts," Gaetz wrote in his letter to Austin.
Gaetz is demanding the declassification of the House hearing last month on hypersonics that included witnesses such as Michael White, the principal director for hypersonics at the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.
"Your testimony on April 5, 2022, calls into question the assessments made by the subject matter experts you sent to brief members of Congress on March 18, 2022," Gaetz asserted.
"Furthermore, your testimony on April 5, 2022, and its conflict with your Department’s subject matter experts, sends a confusing message to the American people who you have vowed to defend and whose tax dollars are used to fund U.S. hypersonic weapons development," Gaetz said.
"We owe it to them to provide the most accurate assessment of how their tax dollars are being spent to further our country’s defense," he added.
Asking Austin to declassify the briefing, Gaetz followed up, "Please clarify the confusion caused by your contradiction of your own subject matter experts for members of Congress and the American people."
The Florida Republican's letter comes as CNN reported that the Air Force has delayed its hypersonic missile program following "recent flight test anomalies." The United States reportedly tested a hypersonic missile last month.
There are reports that Russia has used hypersonic missiles, which travel at least five times faster than the speed of sound, during its invasion of Ukraine.

Kremlin hopes operation in Ukraine ends ‘in coming days’
Either the Russian forces will reach their goals in Ukraine or Moscow and Kiev will reach an agreement in the near future, the Kremlin says
Moscow hopes the Russian military operation in Ukraine might end in the near future, possibly “in the coming days,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sky News on Thursday. Either the Russian troops will end it by reaching their military goals or Moscow and Kiev will reach an agreement through negotiations, he added.
The prospect of a peace deal would largely depend on the “consistency” of Ukraine’s position and its willingness to agree to Russia’s terms, Peskov said. He particularly said that those responsible for the crimes against civilians in the Donbass should be brought to justice.
When asked about accusations leveled by Kiev against Moscow over the alleged mass killings of civilians in the towns near Kiev, Peskov said that such claims are nothing but a “bold fake.”
“We deny the Russian military can have something in common with these atrocities and that dead bodies were shown on the streets of [the town of] Bucha,” the Kremlin spokesman told Sky News’ Mark Austin. “We are living in days of fakes and lies,” he added.
Russia is “interested in a really independent and objective investigation of all the crimes” committed in Ukraine, Peskov said.
According to Peskov, one of the goals of the Russian operation has been to avert a larger conflict, namely a potential World War III that would likely involve nuclear strikes. Should Ukraine join NATO and then try to seize Crimea through military means, NATO’s members possessing nuclear arms would have to defend it, he argued, adding that it would lead to a global conflict. Ukraine has been an “anti-Russian center” since 2014, the Kremlin spokesman said, adding that NATO is far from being a purely defensive military bloc as well.

People who are transgender are protected from discrimination by law.
The Sex Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to treat a person less favourably than another person in a similar situation because of the gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of the person.
Example: A shop assistant refused to serve a person who identifies and presents as a woman because that person has a deep and masculine-sounding voice.
The Act makes discrimination against the law in many areas of public life including employment, education, getting or using services or renting or buying a house or unit. There are some limited exemptions.
