Last night/this Morning.

Russia is accusing the US. of using Ukraine to carry out illegal biological weapons research on deadly diseases, including the ‘Black Death’.

Via Russian state-owned news agency Tass:

Evidence of a US-financed military biological program developed in Ukraine has been revealed during Russia’s special operation in that country, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday.

“In the course of the special military operation, evidence of the Kiev regime’s hasty measures to conceal any traces of the military biological program finance by the US Department of Defense in Ukraine has been revealed,” he said.

According to the spokesman, information was received from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories that especially hazardous pathogens: plague, anthrax, cholera, tularemia and other lethal diseases infecting agents had been urgently destroyed on February 24.

According to Konashenkov, following the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, the Ukrainian health ministry issued an instruction to all biolaboratories to urgently destroy hazardous pathogens they had.

“Obviously, after the launch of the special military operations, Pentagon became afraid that secret biological experiments in Ukraine will be exposed. We will share the results of the analysis of the documents we have received in the near future. Some of them, in particular the Ukrainian health ministry’s instruction to destroy pathogens and certificates of completion from the Kharkov and Poltava biolaboratories we are publishing right now,” he said.

…This is the latest in a frenzy of scare stories receiving major coverage in Russian media to justify the increasingly bloody war in Ukraine, where at least 364 Ukrainians have died and at least 759 have been injured, according to the United Nations.

Russia has been laying the groundwork for such claims for quite some time, according to Foreign Policy magazine. In January, a Russian-language Telegram account warned that a ‘full-fledged network of biological laboratories has been deployed’ with ‘American grants’ to study deadly viruses that were already making people sick in Kazakhstan.

In May 2020, the Russian newspaper Izvestia made similar claims. And a close advisor to Putin accused the US last year of developing ‘more and more biological laboratories … mainly by the Russian and Chinese borders.’

The biological weapons research is the latest ‘false flag’ orchestrated by Russia since it announced a ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine on February 24 to ‘demilitarize’ and ‘de-Nazify’ its neighbor, whose president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. is Jewish.

The Kremlin has separately claimed that Ukraine was building plutonium dirty bombs at Chernobyl – now under Russian military control.

Thank Fiadh it’s Friday.

We all need a bit of light relief in these heavy times, right?

So let’s strike up the band now that Spring has finally sprung. This week I want to know: what’s your favourite piece of music about or mentioning the sun?

Here’s mine.

Still no voucher, I’m afraid. We’ve put out many feelers, but no takers (yet) and some blank resistance. Must be Bodger’s cologne.

Lines MUST close on Saturday at Midnight.

Please include video links if possible.

…last week, I asked you for your favourite piece of music from Eastern Europe. You answered in your tens. Gorugeen won my esteem with this entry…

Sky Wikluh – Pazi Sta Radis

Gorugeen writes:

“My favourite music from Eastern Europe is Pazi Sta Radis by Wikluh Sky of Serbia. It’s the title tune for the forgettable A Serbian Film (2010).  I first heard it in a tiny coffee place where I live. It was playing on one of those big old fashioned ghetto blasters. The floor was vibrating. Best listened to on something with deep bass. It’s been my ringtone for years.”

Nick says: Congrats Gorugeen and thanks all.

Shane Warne

This afternoon.

Via BBC:

Legendary Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has died of a suspected heart attack aged 52.

Warne took 708 Test wickets, the second most of all time, in 145 matches across a stellar 15-year international career.

His management company said Warne had been found unresponsive in his villa on the Thai island Koh Samui on Friday.

“It is with great sadness we advise that Shane Keith Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack,” they said.

RIP.

Any excuse.

Oh.

Yesterday.

Manhattan, New York, New York, USA.

‘Masks for seniors, masks for kids,
‘It’s not about you. also not like the flu
‘Just because we’re tired, doesn’t mean it’s over
Mandate masks, that’s our ask.’

Pro-mask- protestors demonstrate the lifting of New York’s covid mask mandate with a song in the air of nursery rhyme Frère Jacques.

Fia Moon – By Now

“And all the melodies that I thought you wrote for me:
Are you singing them for her now instead?”

Breaking up is hard to do on Fia Moon‘s new ballad. It comes with a beautifully shot video in County Mayo by Zoë Ardiff.

Fia writes:

“My dad lives in Mayo so it has always been a home-away-from-home for me; a place of refuge. By Now is a very personal song to me and I wanted the video to be a reflection of that. The song is about a painful experience – but also about coming through it.

“For me, being out in nature, out at sunset and around animals are all very soothing and I wanted to give viewers a glimpse of where I was on my healing journey when I wrote the song.”

Nick says: Mayo Moon rising.

This morning.

Further to Pfizer’s data dump on Tuesday where the pharma giant released a 55,000-page set of documents on its covid vaccine.

A judge had denied request from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to suppress the data for the next 75 years which the agency claimed was necessary, in part, because of its “limited resources.”

Via Yahoo Finance:

The  38-page report included in the documents features an Appendix, “LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST,” that lists 1,291 different adverse events following vaccination.

The list includes acute kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, anti-sperm antibody positive, brain stem embolism, brain stem thrombosis, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, cardiac ventricular thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, central nervous system vasculitis, death neonatal, deep vein thrombosis, encephalitis brain stem, encephalitis hemorrhagic, frontal lobe epilepsy, foaming at mouth, epileptic psychosis, facial paralysis, fetal distress syndrome, gastrointestinal amyloidosis, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, hepatic vascular thrombosis, herpes zoster reactivation, immune-mediated hepatitis, interstitial lung disease, jugular vein embolism, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, liver injury, low birth weight, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, myocarditis, neonatal seizure, pancreatitis, pneumonia, stillbirth, tachycardia, temporal lobe epilepsy, testicular autoimmunity, thrombotic cerebral infarction, Type 1 diabetes mellitus, venous thrombosis neonatal, and vertebral artery thrombosis among 1,246 other medical conditions following vaccination.

“This is a bombshell,” said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president and general counsel Mary Holland. “At least now we know why the FDA and Pfizer wanted to keep this data under wraps for 75 years. These findings should put an immediate end to the Pfizer COVID vaccines. The potential for serious harm is very clear, and those injured by the vaccines are prohibited from suing Pfizer for damages.”

Meanwhile…

The U.S. government has already purchased 50 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine intended for children under five years of age to be delivered by April 30, 2022 although the FDA has yet to grant an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for this age group. The risk of serious injury or death from COVID to healthy children is practically nil and so far, the vaccine is not effective when used in young children.

Dilbar, a 512-foot yacht that weighs 15,917 tons, is the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage

Via Business Insider:

The fate of Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s mega-yacht is unclear. Forbes initially reported that the yacht was seized on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources, but later issued a correction last night saying it was not seized.

“Three sources had told Forbes it had been seized, but a representative for Usmanov cited the statement from the ministry in Hamburg to confirm that it had not,” according to Forbes’ update. “In its statement, the ministry elaborated that the German federal customs agency is the ‘responsible enforcement authority’ and would have to issue an export waiver for the yacht to leave, and that ‘no yacht leaves port that is not allowed to do so.'”
