So I have the RT add-on in my Firefox browser, which has a nice number badge that tells me how many articles are waiting to be read. Well, I did until a couple of days ago, when Firefox disabled it. No problem, I thought, I'll just check the add-ons page. No, the add-is gone there too.

Well, that's okay, I thought, I'll just watch RT Live on YouTube. No, gone there too. After a couple of hours of searching and trying online VPNs, etc. (which doesn't work), I found RT Live on Odysee. As an aside, it was there on the Rumble link on the RT page, but I missed it. In any event, here's the Odysee link for RT Live:

RT Live on Odysee

Here's the main link for RT New on Odysee, which contains the above URL:

Anyone have any idea what's the real story behind the biolabs? Seems odd to me the Americans would have a full out bioweapons program in Ukraine (what could possibly go wrong in that corrupt broke state? Doesn't seem smart to me, but what do I know), but at the same time, neocon Nuland giving that carefully worded response to a question about bioweapons is curious. What's this totally innocent not-nefarious at all, nothing-to-see-here-pinky-swear-i-promise, research that they're worried Russia might get their hands on? Then the US govt taking the docs offline then putting them back (if I got that part of the story right) doesn't inspire confidence either.

Tom Hickey said...

Joe, Russia and China have been asking this for some time with no response. The US has a load of biolabs around the world.

Russia has presented its case to the UNSC based on discovery in Ukraine. That has been suppressed in the corporate media as far as I can tell. The story is "unfolding." We'll see. We have not heard the end of this yet, but it will be necessary to search deeper than the corporate media.

Meanwhile, the curtain is being drawn across the Internet in the US. Getting weird.

I am testing different browsers and search engines as result. Anything touched by Big Tech is compromised.

Tom Hickey said...

Thanks, Ahmed.

This is starting to remind me of the 60s and 70s. Of course, there was no Internet then, so it was a lot easier for "them."

DR Hatfill on with Bannon explaining the labs:

https://rumble.com/vx44wp-steven-hatfill-on-the-biolabs-in-ukraine.html

Says it was converted into academic research facility… Bannon thunks it was another Wuhan lab…

Peter Pan said...

Curtain call.

It's only a matter of time until Tom doesn't have any links worth posting.

Bannon is training the Republicans to hate China with as much passion as the liberals hate Russia.

The "war room" his podcast is 24/7 China baiting.


" Russia is the real enemy"


They are being prepped for what happens next after the liberals swap places with the right in the one party nation state.


I've spent nearly 5 years on right wing blogs spreading MMT. It's a coming you'll see.

And what is the name of that right wing economics blog with Yves Smith and Tyler Durden. Zero Hedge?

They won't be half as balanced as they have been with Russia.


There's a lot more madness and insanity to come from Washington and London yet.

Farage is doing in the UK what Bannon is doing in the US.

*" China is The real enemy "*


24/7

Peter Hitchens who is Christopher Hitchens Brother.


Has exposed all the propaganda that has been thrown at Russia.


He is right wing....


But look......

This is the narrative and framing everywhere in right wing land.





Peter Pan said...

What happened to the populist movement, which is opposed to foreign entanglements, war-mongering, and left/right divides?

Footsoldier said...

I'm waiting on them to appear Peter and hoping that these psychos have overplayed their hand.

You could make a case that there is a good chance NATO has overplayed its hand here.

The censorship and rolling back of free speech so aggressively must have taken plenty of people by suprise. War mongering posture many countries must have realised without Russia and China that this could happen to them anytime.

Matt Franko said...

Bannon is sponsored by a Hong Kong China guy….

But as far as MAGA is concerned I don’t th7nk they are pro Russia they are anti Ukraine…

Ukraine was paying hunter Biden, etc and was a source of a lot of the FUD on the second impeachment…

So Ukraine is persona non grata in MAGA…

Basically MAGA doesn’t really have a dog in this fight… probably MAGA position is optimally they end up killing each other…

Matt Franko said...

“ What happened to the populist movement,”

That is the MAGA position…

Bannon is part of this too as he wants US to decouple industrial from China…

Don’t mistake Bannon anti CCP rhetoric as warmongering he wants peaceful decoupling….
