Again, dishonesty.

The X posts says

quote:

March 9, 2022: John Kirby was asked if there was any truth whatsoever to Russia’s claims that the U.S. was developing biological labs in Ukraine


The question, however, was something different.

He asked about "the issue of military biological labs in Ukraine" not "biological labs"

If the argument was strong, they wouldn't have to rely on this dishonesty for NPC lemmings

Here’s another of 2022 MSM’s greatest hits…

With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place:

In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen.

Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there.

But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine.

Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands.

When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged).

We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies.

You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:

Counselor, this has just been proven to have been a lie. It was a lie in 2022. It’s a lie now.

Where is the evidence of biological weapons?

Not GOF. Not viral research. Not "bio labs". Weapons.

Again, dishonest, and these tweets form the time keep showing how this is a dishonest reframing of the past.

Proving my point from page one, YET AGAIN

quote:

Can you define the specific conspiracy theory?

Very few, if any, people said we funded no "bio labs" in Ukraine. The actual CT allegations were much more specific as to the type of bio labs and what kind of activity was going on.

This seems like your typical "kernel of truth" situation and not a "CT proven right" situation.

Again, to repeat for those who are slow

quote:

bio labs =/= bio weapons program

proving bio labs exist = kernel of truth

trying to extrapolate that kernel of truth into bio weapons program is dishonest and not supported by the facts


Why I call this the "kernel of truth" fallacy, a spinoff from the Motte and Bailey Fallacy:

quote:

The motte-and-bailey fallacy is a debate tactic where someone conflates an easily defensible, uncontroversial claim (the "motte") with a controversial, bold claim (the "bailey"). They strategically use the safety of the motte to dodge criticism for the bailey, often acting as if defending the former proves the latter.


The motte: There are "bio labs" in Ukraine (the kernel of truth)

The bailey: The "bio labs" in Ukraine are part of a biological weapons program (dishonest conflation extrapolated from the kernel of truth)

That's actually where my head is at. If we set aside the labels for a second and ask what an offensive biological weapons program would physically look like, what would we expect to find?

E.g, if someone posted a slide showing pathogen surveillance, sequencing, diagnostics, lab training, etc, I can see both military and civilian uses.

What activities would make people say "that's a weapons program" rather than "that's biodefense/public health"?

But the US is funding Biolabs in Ukraine that manufacture

Anthrax
Tularaemia
Tuberculosis
Swine Fever
New Castles Disease
MERS
SARS
Marburg
Ebola


Given that they have lied about their gain of function research in the past, it only takes about two seconds to realize that they are playing with these as well; any one of them could be turned into a biological weapon.

Not gain of function research, that's for sure.

Exactly why this is ripe for conflation for NPC types.

quote:

The activity being done (research on viruses, for example) and the output (scientific scholarship and/or the actual substances being produced).

Only AlterEd has been brave enough to claim basic biological lab work creates a biological weapons program. Otherwise, you'll need an actual biological weapons pathogen/research to show that I reckon. Like, if a ton of Sarin gas is being produced, or research is being done on how to produce a different type of Sarin gas, we can be pretty sure that's a bioweapons lab. If the research is standard virology, regardless of the type of manipulation, then it's unlikely to be a bioweapon (for intelligent, logical people at least).

For virology research. Not weapons research.

Those are regular viruses that have to be produced to study. They are not weapons outside of anthrax.

You keep proving my point.

Of course, Counselor. No one would ever weaponize a virus.

Oh wait…

Placekicker is claiming what ODNI released suggests we're "manufacturing" that long list of diseases in his latest post.

Does anyone see anything that suggests manufacturing? Defensive and offensive programs will have disease agents in them (you need those for developing/scaling up diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics).

Is there evidence of what we would see for offensive capabilities here?

I'm only pointing out what they wrote has yet to be debunked, and people attempting to do so today are using dishonest arguments and fallacies to lie about debunking them.

You dodged the question as to who released CV19 when your attempt at a conspiracy was preemptively destroyed. Don't think i didn't notice.

Although its bold of you to pretend only a page later that you didn't avoid answering.

Covid was accidentally released from a Chinese lab.

China tried to cover it up and use its influence to have people cover for China (creating all the silly talking points about bat soup and what not). Why China did this is self-explanatory.

China may have lost more from CV19 than any other country. They were huge losers from the release compared to the rest of the world.

The US came out the best after the pandemic. They were huge winners compared to the rest of the world.

Try to make your theory work within that reality.

No.

They are NPCs parroting talking points. They don't actually understand what they're repeating.

Which is why they keep posting X posts that literally prove my argument correct, over and over again.

These NPCs take the text of these posts at face value and don't even watch the videos contained within to see how the text is not truthful.
