⚡Russian MoD on the US Democratic Party's role in military biological research:

▪Investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros, and Biden, as well as other NGOs which are under the control of the US Democratic Party are donating money to finance military biological research;

▪So-called "Big Pharma" companies are involved in this scheme, including Pfizer, Moderna, Merck, as well as Gilead, a US military-affiliated company;

▪US experts are working on testing new medicines, bypassing international safety standards;

▪Thus, Western companies are significantly reducing the costs of implementing research programmes and gaining significant competitive advantages;

▪The involvement of non-governmental and biotech organisations allows the leaders of the Democratic Party to receive additional financial revenue for election campaigns and to conceal cash flows

⚡US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin: US emphasizes to Ukrainians importance of weapons not falling in wrong hands

⚡Russia’s Ministry of Defence has analysed the activities of the biological and veterinary laboratories in Mariupol:

▪Mariupol was used as a regional centre for the collection and certification of the cholera pathogen, when the city was under Ukrainian control;

▪According to documents, strains were being sent to the Public Health Centre in Kiev, then the biomaterials were transmitted to the United States. This activity had been carried out since 2014;

▪Almost the whole collection of pathogens was destroyed on 25 February 2022, but part of it (124 strains) was later taken to a safe storage by Russian specialists;

▪Typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and gas gangrene pathogens are not typical of veterinary medicine, but they are in the collection. This may indicate the participation of the laboratory in a military biological programme;

▪The Russian MoD is examining material received from the Mariupol biolaboratories and will inform the public about the results soon

💊 US overdose deaths hit record 107,000 last year

The provisional 2021 total translates to roughly one US overdose death every 5 minutes. It marked a 15% increase from the previous record, set the year before.

The White House issued a statement calling the accelerating pace of overdose deaths “unacceptable” and promoting its recently announced national drug control strategy. It calls for measures like connecting more people to treatment, disrupting drug trafficking and expanding access to the overdose-reversing medication naloxone.

Last year, overdoses involving fentanyl and other synthetic opioids surpassed 71,000, up 23% from the year before. There also was a 23% increase in deaths involving cocaine and a 34% increase in deaths involving meth and other stimulants.

🗳 Trump candidate loses in Nebraska, wins in West Virginia

Jim Pillen, a hog farm owner and veterinarian, defeated eight challengers, including Charles Herbster, a businessman who faced groping allegations late in the campaign, and Brett Lindstrom, a state senator and Omaha financial adviser who was generally viewed as a more moderate choice.

While Trump-endorsed candidates won primary races in West Virginia for the US House on Tuesday, the statewide loss in Nebraska was a setback for Trump. He has issued hundreds of endorsements and staged his signature campaign-style rallies in support of his preferred candidates, including Herbster, all in an effort to bend the GOP in his direction ahead of another possible presidential run in 2024.

In this Republican stronghold, Pillen will be a favorite in November’s general election against his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Carol Blood. Nebraska hasn’t elected a Democrat as governor since 1994.
