China urges Pentagon to open up about ‘Biolabs’ in Ukraine China's foreign ministry has demanded that the United States "as soon as possible" reveal facts about the Pentagon's alleged biological facilities in Ukraine. The Russian military claimed on Monday that Ukrainian authorities had destroyed germs researched in its laboratory. According to Moscow, 30 US-funded Ukrainian Biolabs have been actively collaborating with the US military. Kiev has stated that it is not developing bioweapons. The US Department of Defense's Biological Threat Reduction Program only collaborates with partner countries to counter the threat of outbreaks of contagious illnesses, according to the website of the US embassy in Kiev. Such claims about US-funded Biolabs in Ukraine were labeled "disinformation" by the embassy in 2020. However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian claimed at a press conference on Tuesday that the laboratories in Ukraine are just "the tip of an iceberg" and that the US Department of Defense "controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world," according to his country's information. According to Zhao, this is done under the guise of "collaborating to lower biosecurity concerns" and "strengthening global public health." Beijing has made the claimed figure public for the first time. According to Zhao, there are 26 US laboratories in Ukraine, according to data provided by the United States itself He asked "all parties concerned" to secure the safety of the labs in view of Russia's military offensive on the nation. He said the United States, in particular, as the party with the most knowledge of these laboratories should divulge the appropriate facts as quickly as possible, including which viruses are stored and what research has been conducted. He alleged that the United States has "exclusively obstructed" the creation of an independent verification mechanism. According to Zhao, such behavior "aggravates the international community's concerns." According to The Rio Times, on February 26, the US embassy in Ukraine removed all information about Pentagon-funded bio-labs in Ukraine from its website. Journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, on the other hand, said that embassy officials had forgotten to remove a document indicating that the Pentagon is supporting two new Biolabs in Kiev and Odessa. "The military Biolabs are outside of Ukraine's authority." According to the Brazilian news agency, the Ukrainian government is not allowed to share crucial information regarding the initiative. According to Gaytandzhieva, the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine, which was co-founded with the US, has invested more than $285 million in around 1,850 projects carried out by scientists who previously worked on the creat ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud3J6V0T5oM

Trans Drugs for Children behind parents’ backs An investigation by The Telegraph revealed that a transgender children's organization is delivering possibly harmful chest-flattening devices to 14-year-olds against their parents' wishes. Even after being informed by her mother that she was not permitted to use one, Mermaids—a nonprofit organization that receives government funds and provides training for schools and the NHS—offered to covertly deliver a breast binder to a girl they believed to be just 14 years old. The charity's staff have provided binders to children as young as 13 who claim that their parents are against the practice, according to evidence gathered by The Telegraph. Parent groups have labeled chest-binding as a kind of "self-harm," and it can lead to respiratory problems, persistent back discomfort, alterations to the spine, and broken ribs. Trans children's services are being reviewed by Dr. Hilary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics, and she calls them "painful and potentially damaging." On Sunday night, activists and lawmakers alleged that Mermaids had "huge safeguarding red lights" and demanded that the Charity Commission conduct an emergency investigation. According to information obtained by The Telegraph, the Mermaids' online support center advises individuals who identify themselves as being as young as 13 that controversial hormone-blocking medications are secure and "completely reversible." The charity's moderated forum for 12 to 15-year-olds has seen debates in the past month alone in this publication about how to raise money to start using pharmaceuticals and the most effective testosterone dosage. Additionally, a moderator publicly praised a teen user for having decided they were transgender by the age of 13 and that they desired drugs and "all the operations" by doing so. Parents think that the charity's and the forum's suggestions "pushed" their kids to think they were transgender and made them seek permanent medical therapy to "fix" their problems. Mermaids personnel agreed to send out a breast binder in an email interaction with an adult pretending to be a 14-year-old girl who wanted to transition to a boy despite being repeatedly assured that the child's mother would "not allow" it. To enable the user to get the box secretly from their parents, they requested the name and address the user wanted the package shipped to. According to information obtained by The Telegraph, Mermaids has been offering free "binders" to people who claim to be 13 and whose parents won't buy them one since at least 2019. More than 97% of people who use binders experience health issues as a result, according to the largest study of the effects of binders to date. The impact on people under 18 was not examined in the study. Mermaids shouldn't be sending breast-binders out behind parents' backs, said Stephanie Davies-Arai, the founder and director of Transgender Trend, an organization that advocates for children's healthcare that is founded on evidence. The ultimate responsibility for their health and welfare rests with their parents, who serve as the primary carers. It is anti-safeguarding to exclude parents from decisions that are this important. "A Mermaid investigation is long needed. Since quite a few years ago, people have been voicing their concerns. Anyone suggesting Mermaids or using them for training, including the Charity Commission, should give child protection considerable consideration. Miriam Cates, a Tory MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, joined other lawmakers in supporting her appeal, claiming that the organization "is stating an extreme position on gender ideology and it is going behind parents' backs to speak to youngsters." This creates serious safety concerns. Mermaids declined to comment on the investigation's results. Mermaids stated in a statement outlining its stance on binders that it adopted a "harm reduction position" and believed that giving someone a binder with safety guidelines was preferable to them engaging in other "unsafe activities" or going through dysphoria. Mermaids enjoy special privileges in society. The contentious nonprofit is compensated to train social workers, police officers, hospital officials, and teachers about how to deal with transgender difficulties. It has recently received more than £20,000 in funding from the government and more than £500,000 from the National Lottery. Staff members were recognized as prominent at the soon-to-be-closed Tavistock Clinic when it was doling out medications to children, and they have met with government officials and offered advice to the NHS. Councils, doctors, and schools still refer young people to the organisation, but a Telegraph investigation has highlighted major concerns about safeguarding and the guidance it offers to kids as young as 12.... #podcast #transgender #investigation Thanks for watching.
