5th paragraph: "The combined total of those donations isn’t colossal by any means—a whopping $59.95."

No reason to let a party-pooping fact like that interfere in your viral McCarthyite smear attacks on a former soldier's patriotism and loyalties:

Articles like this are sure to reinforce the half-jokes that @thedailybeast is a propaganda arm of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.

Beyond the banal but sleazy corruption, Burisma's payments to Hunter Biden reveal who elites in Ukraine recognize wield the real power in their country. They didn't pay the son of a Ukrainian official, but Joe Biden's son. So of course CNN bans any guest from mentioning this:👇
I cannot recommend highly enough the 2015 Oliver Stone doc on the history of Ukraine and the 2014 regime change to a more pro-US/EU government. After Rumble uploaded the film following Google's removal from the producer's page, it's been viewed 500k times

As @SusanSarandon says, what is Google so afraid of with this film? Suddenly, after *6 years,* it decides the film contains footage "too graphic" to allow? Numerous films/reports on Ukraine aligned with the US/NATO view are just as graphic, yet remain:

NEW: The White House's game-playing denials of bio labs in Ukraine

rumble.com/vx2iq7-the-whi…
We don't know if biological weapons are in Ukraine. We do know there are dangerous "biological research facilities" there: which we know because Victoria Nuland, shocking Rubio, warned about.

But the history of US programs gives the lie to WH denials about bioweapons in general.
It's been amazing to watch the entire US corporate media -- from the NYT to certain Pentagon reporters on Fox -- unite to *proclaim* that concerns about bio weapons labs in Ukraine are *false.* They 100% *do not know that*: they only CIA/DoD denies it.

I wonder where the enormous amounts of weapons flooding into Ukraine might end up? Do you think it will be with the nice, moderate forces, or the most extremist forces such as those nice neo-Nazi gentlemen in the Azov? Might this cause problems in the future: Syria & Afghanistan?
If you say that only a Kremlin agent or a pro-Putin apologist would care about such consequences of emotionally cathartic policies, these questions will blissfully disappear.

After YouTube notified the producers of Oliver Stone's Ukraine film that it was removing it from their channel, @rumblevideo uploaded the film. In less than a day, it's been viewed more than 150k times. Watch with a critical eye, but highly recommended:

Here's the director of the Ukraine documentary explaining what Google claimed to justify removing the film, along with the notice.

Free speech platforms are more vital than ever: with 2 years of COVID-justified crackdowns now followed by war censorship:

This thread reveals one of the most alarming episodes yet for free information and state censorship. The EU has *ordered* search engines and social media companies to suppress and/or disappear Russian news outlets. Defending democracy through repression:

Victoria Nuland: Ukraine Has "Biological Research Facilities," Worried Russia May Seize Them

greenwald.substack.com/p/victoria-nul…
The neocon's confession does not justify Russia's invasion and bombardment of Ukraine. But it does shed critical light on the U.S. role in Ukraine, and raises vital questions about these labs that deserve answers -- including why self-anointed "fact-checkers" declared this False. ImageImageImageImage
It is also notable how Nuland - a hard-core neocon from one of America's royal neocon families - went from being Dick Cheney's national security adviser to running Ukraine for Obama and Biden. Except when Trump was president, she's always in power: showing the two-party lockstep. ImageImage

Ukraine has "biological research facilities," says Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland, when asked by Sen Rubio if Ukraine has biological or chemical weapons, and says she's worried Russia may get them. But she says she's 100% sure if there's a biological attack, it's Russia.
Really good cleanup by Rubio: interrupting Nuland's bizarre confession, which he did not expect, and immediately directing her to say that if there's a biological attack, it must be Russia.

Why is she so concerned Russia would seize such a benign "biological research facility"?
It's one of those odd yet revealing facts of Washington than under both Obama and now Biden, the person in charge of Ukraine policy at the State Department is a hard-core neocon from the royal neocon Kagan family. Beloved by both parties:
