Posobiec & Bannon Doubling Down on Russian Disinformation: Don’t Believe Me Hyperlinked Receipts | 👇
Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon are actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign why?
‘NO GAIN OF FUNCTION’ What the Slides Actually Show (Relevant to Pathogen Research):
The slides focus on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) support for labs (primarily in Ukraine — over 40 facilities mentioned), including:
• Construction, funding, and equipping of labs (specific costs and contractors like Black & Veatch are listed).
• Storage and handling of Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDP) and Soviet-era biological weapons-related pathogens.
• Training of Ukrainian scientists in biocontainment.
• U.S. payments to Ukrainian scientists “to study the genome of highly pathogenic avian flu and other highly infectious viruses in biocontainment labs, which were also paid for by the U.S. government.”
Pathogens explicitly referenced in the slides include: Anthrax, tularemia, tuberculosis, Swine Fever, Newcastle Disease, MERS, SARS, Marburg, Ebola, Lassa, Plague, Rickettsia, and highly pathogenic avian flu.

These genome studies of highly pathogenic viruses in U.S.-funded biocontainment labs are the closest content in the document to areas sometimes discussed in GoF debates, but the slides present them in the context of threat reduction, biosecurity, and pathogen characterization rather than explicit gain-of-function work.

Posobiec/Bannon are actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign along with Tulsi Gabbard but why?
Russia has a long history of conducting disinformation campaigns via false allegations of biological weapons activities by the United States:
The Soviet Union deliberately spread false
accusations that the United States had used biological weapons during the Cold War. Such accusations have continued in modern times under Russian President Putin to erode trust in the United States, weaken U.S. relations with partner countries, and to divert attention away from illicit Russian activities such as its use of chemical weapons in Salisbury and against Alexei Navalny.
Ukraine’s long-term cooperation with the United States to enhance biological research facilities is a key element of this disinformation.
The United States cooperates with labs and health centers across the world in countries through the Biological Threat Reduction Program.
This defense program is crucial for reducing threats from natural or accidental outbreaks and the potential use of biological weapons.
The United States does not operate, fund, nor in any way support biological or chemical weapons activities in Ukraine: The United States has, and continues to be, in full compliance of its obligations under both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Ukraine does not have biological or chemical weapons. Ukraine has long been a staunch champion for non-proliferation. Ukrainian biological research facilities are part of this legacy.
They were designed to consolidate naturally-arising dangerous pathogen samples to secure locations to avoid them being weaponized or accidentally released—NOT GAIN OF FUNCTION.
They enhance Ukraine’s ability to detect and track diseases and peacefully guard against the full range of biological threats.
Russia has increased its disinformation which falsely claims that Ukraine may have biological and chemical weapons.
This effort from the Russian government, along with support from the Chinese government, is intended to erode trust in the United States and sow doubt in the international community, and may be part of plans for Russian biological or chemical weapons attacks in Ukraine via a false-flag operation.
