Russia responds to calls for international tribunal

The initiative by the Organization of American States chief serves his own personal gain, Moscow says

Russia’s Embassy in Washington has suggested that the Organization of American States (OAS) should find a new leader, after Secretary General Luis Almagro voiced support for an international tribunal on Moscow’s military action in Ukraine.

“With such comments, the international official is clearly seeking the support of his masters from Washington in the context of the OAS internal investigation in his regard,” the embassy wrote on its official Telegram channel on Friday.

On Thursday, Almagro posted a series of pictures on Twitter of him meeting with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andrey Kostin and Ambassador Oksana Markarova. He accompanied the post by expressing his support for the creation of a “Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression committed by Russian forces in Ukraine.”

Almagro, 59, has headed the OAS since 2015, but is currently facing an internal investigation for allegedly violating the organization’s code of ethics by having a relationship with a staffer two decades his junior. Under OAS rules, employees are forbidden from having intimate relationships with co-workers that may interfere with their duties or disadvantage other colleagues. Any managers who enter such relations must back out of roles that could benefit the other individual.

The embassy pointed out that Almagro had never made any attempt to “condemn the crimes of the nationalist ‘Maidan’ authorities”or criticize their “incessant shellings of Donetsk and other cities of Donbass” which claimed the lives of civilians.

The Russian diplomatic mission accused the secretary general of bringing a potential conflict into his region with a “proactive Russophobic position” and trying to push his personal opinion as that of the entire OAS, which includes most governments of North and South America and the Caribbean.

The OAS was initially founded in 1948 and intended to bolster solidarity and cooperation among member states. However, under Almagro’s leadership, the organization, headquartered in Washington, DC, has faced accusations of serving North American interests at the expense of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Russian embassy urged Almagro to instead focus on issues that are more important to his bloc, such as migration, the post-COVID economic recovery, and the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking.

Scientists sound alarm over bird flu mutations

(Bullshit virus created by Obama and Fauci, now being used to kill food sources for humans)

The virus has spilled over to mammals across the world and could potentially transfer to humans, researchers claim

Health officials from Europe and the US are calling for international action to tackle the spread of avian influenza as fears grow that the virus could mutate and spread among humans. A number of mammals have been found to be carrying a mutated version of the pathogen amid the largest ever outbreak of bird flu.

The H5N1 virus has already killed some 208 million birds around the world. But the latest figures show there have also been at least 200 recorded cases of mammals contracting the disease.

In the UK, the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) reportedly found nine otters and foxes that tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus. In the US, the disease was found in skunks, bears, a raccoon and a red fox. In France, the virus had spread to a cat and also caused an outbreak on a Spanish mink farm. The bird flu has also been detected in seals and dolphins.

Researchers believe these animals contracted the virus by feeding on dead or sick birds that had been infected with the disease. It’s noted that the virus found in these animals showed signs of a mutation that allowed it to infect mammals more easily. However, scientists say they have not yet seen any evidence to suggest the virus is capable of jumping between mammals.

Nevertheless, public health officials are now warning that the virus could continue mutating and gain that ability, and even learn to jump to humans. They have noted, however, that the risk to the public is “very low.”

Speaking to the BBC, Professor Ian Brown, head of APHA’s scientific services, stated that “the virus is absolutely on the march” and called for greater international action to tackle its spread. He admitted that the current outbreak carries the risk of potentially turning into a pandemic like Covid-19.

“This global spread is a concern. We do need globally to look at new strategies, those international partnerships, to get on top of this disease. If we don’t solve the problem across the globe, we’re going to continue to have that risk,” he said.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there have been some830 cases of human infectionwith the avian influenza H5N1 virus in the past 20 years, 457 of which were fatal. The last five cases were confirmed during this latest outbreak, which is believed to have begun in October 2021.

UK health officials have urged the public not to touch any dead or sick birds. People are also asked to report any dead birds of prey, three or more dead wild waterfowl or gulls, or five or more dead birds of any species that they find to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

(What about the millions of humans WW in the last 2 years from covid vaccines. Anyone going to put to death the scientists, pharma and NWO leaders for this?)

Tucker Carlson and Boris Johnson exchange jabs

The Fox News host branded the former UK prime minister “a terrified old woman”

A war of words has broken out between Tucker Carlson and Boris Johnson, with the Fox News host claiming that the former British prime minister was a “coward” for refusing to come to his show to answer questions about his stance on the conflict in Ukraine.

Johnson was the one who delivered the first blow in the exchange, claiming on Wednesday that Carlson was infecting his Republican viewers with “bad ideas” through his criticism of Washington’s involvement in the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

“Has anybody heard of Tucker Carlson? What is it with this guy? All these wonderful Republicans seem somehow intimidated by his perspective,” he said during a panel discussion with the Atlantic Council.

The former PM, who is currently on an American tour as a speaker, said he hadn’t watched any of Carlson’s programs, but was“struck” by how often the name of the TV personality had been mentioned in conversations he had in the US.

“I've been amazed and horrified by how many people are frightened of a guy called Tucker Carlson,” Johnson said.

The Fox News host fired back at the British politician during his show on Thursday. According to Carlson, he was “shocked” by Johnson’s comments because – shortly before making them – the ex-PM had been invited to his program to defend his stance on Ukraine, but had refused to come.

Johnson grilled “cowards” in Washington that were afraid of his show, “yet somehow he never mentioned he was one of them,” the conservative pundit stated.

“We knew that Johnson himself was a coward. We watched during Covid as he transitioned into a terrified old woman,but we had no idea he was also a liar. We should’ve known,”Carlson concluded.

Johnson, who resigned as PM in September after a series of scandals in his cabinet, had been among the most passionate backers of the Kiev government and had insisted on a military solution to the conflict. Some reports suggest he was instrumental in derailing the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine last March.

Carlson, on the other hand, has never hesitated to attack the Biden administration’s policy on Ukraine, arguing that the billions that the US had given Kiev could be better spent on fixing problems in America and warning that Ukrainian President VladimirZelensky was trying to drag the US into a direct military confrontation with Russia.

Good, I’m looking for this court filing from Feb 11, 2022, its not this year. I think it was in the filings for Sussmann. I remember the detail in that, it was quite extensive because Sussmann filed an opposition response to Durham’s charging him or details

They filing I just posted Durham has a problems with the law firm that represents a lot of people investigated by Durham, seeming to indicate a conflict of interest or vast conspiracy, perhaps a RICO case. Durham basically is opposing Sussmann’s bullshit objection

Plan to send US contractors to Ukraine revealed – Politico

A private project is seeking to hire 100 to 200 professionals to help Ukrainians with repairs on the battlefield

Former US military officers and private entities are raising money to send Western maintenance personnel close to the frontlines in Ukraine, Politico reported on Thursday.

According to the news website, the project, dubbed Trident Support and scheduled to launch in March, will involve the recruitment of 100 to 200 experienced contractors, who would be deployed on the ground in Ukraine.

They are then supposed to “embed themselves with small units near the front lines” and teach Ukrainian troops to repair their equipment without the need to send it out of the country, the report says, noting that all major maintenance of Western-supplied arms currently takes place in Poland and other NATO countries.

The group is headed byAlexander Vindman, a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel who served on the US National Security Council under the Trump administration. Vindman found himself in the spotlight during Trump's first impeachment hearing, when he testified about the ex-president’s 2019 call with Vladimir Zelensky, during which Trump allegedly tried to persuade his Ukrainian counterpart to dig up dirt on the Biden family.

Speaking to Politico, Vindman noted that “we’ve got all sorts of resources going into depots and advanced bases in Poland, mainly, and inside Ukraine basically they’re on their own”. He said he hoped that the situation could change if the project garners enough support.

“If you’re doing this smartly, and you’re distributing five or six facilities [in Ukraine], you could do this for about 150 to 200 mechanics,”if they are dispersed over several locations in the country, the former army official added.

Moreover,Trident Supportis said to be backed by at least one private company, which declined to be named, but acknowledged to Politico that it is interested in supplying Ukraine with spare parts for more rapid repairs.

However, Vindman admitted thatthe project could face huge challenges, stemming from Washington’s reluctance to send defense contractors to Ukraine.

Moscow has repeatedly insisted that the West’s arms shipments for Ukraine make it a direct participant in the conflict. In December, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that all the weapons the West provides to Ukraine, “as well as foreign military personnel operating them are legitimate targets for the Russian armed forces.”

(Does anyone think its strange how the US and EU always announce their secrets plans on Ukraine, before they enact them?Saying the name Vindman is like Seinfeld saying “Neuman”)
