Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Thank you for joining me again this week.

Today, I want to talk about biolabs. I found some obscure news articles from Russia about U.S. funded Biolabs and I have an article about air borne viruses from Heated I also want to talk about.

Illegal biolabs should scare everyone. Add into that, the possibility that with global warming on the increase, any airborne contagion will replicate a lot more in the increased global heat and now we’re talking about an existential threat.

So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit while I bring you more stories from the world outside of your village. Fair warning, there is some adult language used in today’s podcast just to let you know before I get into things.

The first news article in RT News Russia that caught my attention last week, was this one about how Tulsi Gabbard’s ODNI is now investigating more than 120 American biolabs around the world, with a third of them that used to be in Ukraine before the war started in February of 2022. Which amounts to around twenty to twenty five labs.

The ODNI is trying to find out where all of these labs are and find out what research they’re supposed to be doing. The Americans are worried about what is called, ‘Gain of Function’, which may threaten the health and wellbeing of Americans and peoples around the world.

Gain of function refers to the modification of animal viruses to increase their transmissibility in order to study their effect on humans. This supposedly started out as an investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 coronavirus that Trump still insists came from a U.S. funded biolab in Wuhan, China back in 2019.

Remember how the West laughed at Russia’s ‘biolabs’ claims? Here are the facts

The US is now investigating the same Ukrainian biolabs it once wrote off as a conspiracy theory

With Gabbard finally admitting that there were U.S. funded biolabs in eastern Ukraine until the beginning of Russia’s Special Military Operation, vindicates what the Kremlin has insisted all along and the west told them they were full of it, especially Russo phobic Genocide Joe Biden and his crew.

Once the war started, Kiev supposedly ordered everything destroyed so it wouldn’t fall into Russian hands but Russia did manage to get ahold of a lot of the papers detailing what these U.S. funded biolabs were into since the U.S. orchestrated Maidan Coup in 2014. After reviewing the retrieved documents from the supposedly destroyed biolabs, the Russians by 2023 determined that these were dual use labs. In other words, they were probably creating viruses that could be used against Russians right near the Russian border in the provinces of the Donbass region. More on that in a bit.

Of course, when confronted with the evidence, the Americans denied everything, except to say that they had tried to help destroy everything to help the Ukrainians. If you haven’t figured it out yet, lying to the world is an American bipartisan thing.

A decade of lies: The US-funded biolab denial saga

Washington for years rejected Russian allegations of the existence of the secret program, before finally admitting it

From RT News/Russia

If you want more, we have Robert Kennedy Jr. telling the world on Tucker Carlson’s show in 2023, that all of the denials were a cover story for Ukraine because the U.S. was actually developing bioweapons, ostensibly to be used on Russians someday.

We’re talking about really scary stuff such as plagues, Anthrax, tularemia, cholera, and CRISPR DNS sequencing technology. Which is manufacturing a virus to only attack a certain type of genome structure, such as Slavic peoples. Something like this could infect Slavic people all over the world. What’s to keep it from mutating to everyone else? For that matter, what would prevent these idiots from using it to blackmail the world?

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the U.S. moved its biolabs to former soviet states such as Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

Whistleblowers in Georgia alleged that the biolabs in their country were working on various plagues and hemorrhagic fevers and more. Some of the people living near one of the labs actually got sick from bugs that supposedly leaked out of the lab, according to officials there, as related in the articles here.

When they evacuated everything that wasn’t destroyed in Ukraine, they relocated everything to Africa, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. Setting up new labs in eighteen different countries. The Pentagon is supposedly funding research into things like Ebola and experimenting on local people wherever these labs are now. None of which is obviously being published in any western news media.

To give people an idea of how devious and desperate the Americans are to crush the Russians at any cost, let me provide some more details from these articles.

Biological frontlines: How the US built a bioweapons network on Russia’s doorstep

Why a US-built facility near Tbilisi continues to raise questions about America’s biological research abroad

Published 4 Nov, 2025 by RT News/Russia

Back in 2017, in a RT News Russia expose, they exposed a shady military contractor seeking genetic samples from living Russians. Moscow found out about it and started raising allegations of clandestine bio-research with the idea of creating bioweapons of mass destruction specifically made for Russian people, based on their DNA. Of course, the Americans denied everything, until, as I just mentioned, ODNI director Gabbard let the cat out of the bag.

The original story from RT News made international headlines in 2017 when they exposed a U.S. contractor who was trying to collect as much genetic material from living Caucasian Russians as they could. They were collecting genetic material from peoples all over Russia The American president told everyone that the Russians were a kind of object of great interest to take a quote from the news article. Do the math. Who was the American president in 2017?

When Moscow questioned the contractor and the U.S. about it, the answer was vague and they claimed it was for musculoskeletal research and that Russia had been picked out of all the rest of the peoples of the planet. I don’t know about you but when something smells like bullshit it must be bullshit.

To add to the bullshit, in 2018, another clandestine U.S. funded biolab named the Richard Lugar Center for Public Health Research near Tbilisi, Georgia came under fire by the Georgian Defense minister at the time, over a trove of documents massing some 100,000 pages regarding the development and testing of bioweapons under the guise of drug tests. Apparently, according to the papers, about 73 people died in these so called drug tests. What did I say about if it smells like bullshit?

These tests appeared to involve a highly toxic chemical or biological agent with a high lethality rate, according to this news article. This was told to RT News by the commander of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces, Igor Kirillov at the time. Who has subsequently been assassinated by a bomb back in 2024 by the Ukrainian Intelligence service. How convenient.

The U.S. and Georgian governments denied everything, of course and the matter was dropped until last week.

Since the early part of the Ukraine war, Russia has been slowly leaking the documents they seized from the Donbass biolabs, not biolabs, while continuing their internal investigations, concluding by 2023, that the U.S. conducted dual use research, including the creation of bioweapons, right next to the Russian borders.

So, with what we know about the Americans lying through their teeth about not being involved with blowing up the Nordstream pipeline and so many other things, and now, the admission by Tulsi Gabbard that there were actually U.S. funded biolabs in Ukraine likely researching and maybe even creating DNA specific bioweapons to be used against the Slavic peoples, how confident are we that they haven’t succeeded in creating something or several somethings to use against them? Which we all know by now, would not be contained in Russia or anywhere else around the world.

And now these same research facilities, slash, biolabs are in Africa and central Asia. How many of these labs are now close to the western Chinese borders? If they have any of them in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, they’re probably right next to the Chinese border somewhere. I’m very familiar with that part of the world from when I went to Afghanistan. With the remoteness and lack of real border security in some of the more remote areas, China had better keep a close eye on these stupid Americans. If these idiots were to actually have an accident like the one they say they didn’t have in Wuhan, China back in 2019, or worse, actually let something go because Trump decides to throw another temper tantrum, something worse than Covid-19 could be unleashed on the world.

Which brings me to the science of what might happen if a bioweapon in the form of an airborne virus or pathogen were to be released into the wind streams of the upper atmosphere. Or passed on by human to human transfer by breathing and coughing in enclosed spaces, like with Covid and other similar viruses.

Hantavirus is a climate story

Scientists tell HEATED the hantavirus outbreak is a warning that climate change is scrambling the boundaries between humans, wildlife, and disease.

Emily Atkin

In a new Substack podcast from Heated, one of my favorite climate change journalists, Ms. Emily Atkin, interviewed three scientists who are telling us that with the planet heating up so dramatically now, viruses can spread even farther because more of the warming planet is now ripe for disease carrying wildlife and insects to spread beyond their climate niches. How many of you remember the Zika virus breakout a couple of years ago spread by mosquitoes that migrated north due to, you guessed it, climate warming?

What the scientists are more worried about is how much global warming will cause animal and insect species that carry these tropical diseases to migrate to places they have never been to before, such as into more urban areas as they seek food.

She goes on in her article to quote the scientists about the loss of biodiversity, such as the clearing of forests and other habitats which is driving the animals and insects to seek other places to live, which puts them further into close proximity to humans.

Do you remember studying world history and the telling of how the plagues started in Europe that nearly wiped out all of the Europeans at the time? Multiple plagues as I recall. The stories tell of the massive rat populations with their fleas, that would in turn bite the humans and pass on the plagues.

We’ve come a long way since then but look what happened to the world in 2019 and 2020, and is still going on right now? Covid hasn’t gone away. It’s only mutated and now there are several strains running around out there still being spread by people who think it’s just another variation of a flu virus. Long Covid is no joke. There are thousands of now permanently disabled people with this long Covid, for which there is no cure and very little to go on for diagnostics, other than disabling symptoms.

This latest scare about the passengers from that cruise ship is a wakeup call for all of us. This version of the Hantavirus from somewhere in South America, isn’t a huge spreader, but what if something worse shows up due to mutations and gets spread around the world because the planet is so warm, that these viruses run wild with all of the new hosts?

Or worse, what if the stupid Americans have another not accident at one of their not bio labs where they’re not making bioweapons and another pandemic breaks out that’s worse than Covid-19?

My last news story from Russia has nothing to do with biolabs and pandemics but it went rather unreported in the west, as if it was just another ho hum story from the Russians.

Russia successfully test-fires state-of-the-art ICBM (VIDEO)

The RS-28 Sarmat is the most powerful weapon of its kind capable of bypassing any missile defenses, President Vladimir Putin has said

Published 12 May, 2026 by RT News/Russia

Russia has successfully test fired a new ICBM, called the RS-28 Sarmat Intercontinental ballistic missile. It will be ready for the troops by the end of this year, the commander of the strategic missile troops told the Kremlin.

Remember how exited everyone got back in 2024 when Russia debuted their new intermediate range missile, the Oreshnik? Russia now has a new ICBM missile that can hit targets around the world without being detected by the current radar and satellite technology out there right now. Especially the U.S. Which means that the pentagon is probably shitting in their pants right now, all the while trying to keep a nonchalance face to the world. I bet the Russians are sharing this technology with the Chinese as well. Which is making the west really come unglued behind their bomb shelter doors.

I suppose the pentagon may be too busy trying to figure out how to stop the U.S. commander in chief and defense secretary from sending hundreds, if not thousands of American soldiers to their deaths in Iran and trying to scurry around in the dark corners of the world to hide their not bioweapons labs from scrutiny by the ODNI led by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

What do you think about all of this? Will Trump and company shut the ODNI down from digging into these biolabs before they get too far, or does Trump truly want to find out how and where the Covid-19 virus got its start, such as in that not so secret biolab in Wuhan, China?

Is the plan to try and find some dirt on the Chinese to make them look bad to the rest of the world by trying once again to blame them for starting the global Covid pandemic? Something that Trump had no idea how to handle back then, which made him look like a clown in front of the world? How many people remember the bleach and ivermectin incidents that Trump touted as quick relief from Covid?

By now, we know how much Trump hates to be made to look like a clown in front of everyone, and how sneaky, not sneaky he can be when he wants to get revenge for a slight. Does he feel slighted by the world laughing at him for his clownish behavior back in 2019 and 2020? Is he blaming the Chinese for starting the pandemic which made him look the fool in front of the world?

Think about that, knowing what we know about him and answer that question for yourself. I know what I think and it isn’t a pleasant thought, to put it mildly. Do you think Trump is stupid enough to let a bioweapon loose on the world just because he wants revenge for being slighted by a foreign government?

I leave all of you to ponder that thought as I take my break now. After I return in a couple of minutes, I finally have another chapter of The Priest from Michael Campi to read to you to finish out the week. Sláinte

Use the link in the image at top to visit with me there, where I have a separate blog with a more personal viewpoint on the events of the week, plus a lot more. If you do check it out, let me know your thoughts using the contact page. I’d love to hear from anyone around the world who cares to weigh in on what’s going on where they live.

Here is the link to part 69 of The Priest by Michael Campi:

Go raibh maith agat, thank you for watching or listening to the show today. I hope you enjoyed it and that you’ll return again to listen to me offer a voice to what a lot of people are thinking these days.

As I say good bye this week, I will leave you with this quote from the late Albert Einstein. “I know not with what weapons WW III will be fought, but WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Slán go fóill.
