The U.S. Embassy to Tbilisi transports frozen human blood and biological pathogens as diplomatic cargo for a secret military program. Internal documents, implicating U.S. diplomats in the transportation of and experimenting on pathogens under diplomatic cover were leaked by Georgian insiders. According to these papers, Pentagon scientists have been deployed to the Republic of Georgia and have been given diplomatic immunity to research deadly diseases and biting insects at the Lugar Center, which is the Pentagon biological laboratory in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. Instead of the United States investing in the health of its own citizens, the government has spent $161 million of U.S. taxpayer money on the Lugar Center in Tbilisi for research on deadly pathogens abroad. This military facility is just one of the many Pentagon biolabs in 25 countries across the world. They are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $2.5 billion military program. This program is called the Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP). The United States biological laboratories are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Africa. Below is a map of all the U.S. biolabs:

The secret facility in Tbilisi is located just 17km (about 10.5 miles) from the U.S. Vaziani military airbase in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. The Pentagon biolab is heavily guarded. All passers-

by within a radius of 100 meters are filmed. The military biolaboratory, however, is located within a residential area. A reporter from Al Mayadeen TV is being filmed in the picture below while talking to local residents on the street near the biological laboratory:

The security guard warns the reporter that she will be arrested if she doesn’t comply, show her passport, and quietly leave the premises. Her official request for access to the Lugar Center and for an interview were both denied. The reporter from Al Mayadeen TV below is being harassed by security guards at the Lugar Center:

Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, the reporter from Al Mayadeen TV, went back to the biological laboratory in the evening, but this time stayed further away from the cameras. She claimed no matter how far the distance, the air is laden with the smell of chemicals. The smell coming from the Lugar Center at night is blown by the wind frequently to the residential area. Local residents from the nearby town of Alexeevka, where the biolab is located, complain that dangerous chemicals are being secretly burned at night. The hazardous waste is being emptied into the nearby river via laboratory drainage pipes. She also noticed a diplomatic car with U.S. Embassy registration plates parked in the Lugar Center well into the night. The facility seems to do most of the experimentation overnight. A few hours later, the U.S. diplomatic car remains in the parking lot of the Lugar Center. A few more pictures are placed below to show the biolab in full operation in the evening hours:

There is smoke being released into the atmosphere at night, especially in the early morning hours around 3AM or 4AM. The reporter said that some farm animals have died, especially hens. The biolab has an intricate pipe system underground with a drainage system. She claimed the odor is like “rotten eggs” and “decaying hay.” “The smell is so bad and is spread in different directions by the wind.”

Several people in the neighborhood have been diagnosed with thyroid disease. “They (physicians) say it is because of the laboratory.” Some people in the town of Alexeevka reported seeing violet-color smoke coming from the lab in early morning hours. “There are big blue plastic pipes along the street (from the laboratory) and from where everything goes to the river, which is 3-4 km away. Not only do they pollute the air, but they also poison our water,” one of the residents of the town stated. Neighbors recall a tragic incident involving four Filipinos who worked at the Lugar Center, in which two died of an alleged gas poisoning in their rented flat in the town. Albert Nurbekyan told the reporter: “The first time when they called the Emergency service we were told that they had food poisoning from fish. But the second time when the ambulance came there was foam coming out of their mouths. When they passed away, they took them away and covered it all up. It all happened here.” Another witness, Elvira Ratiani, who lived next door witnessed the foreigners die before her eyes. They were my neighbors, we lived on the same floor. The second time, they knocked on the door and again asked for help. There were four Filipinos, two of them were saved, but the other two died”, recalls Elvira Ratiani who lives in Alexeevka right next to the U.S. biolab.

Human blood and pathogens are the diplomatic cargo of the U.S. Embassy, proven by leaked documents. Internal documents and correspondence between the Ministry of Health of Georgia and the US Embassy to Tbilisi show what experiments have been conducted at the Lugar Center. Leaked documents reveal that the US Embassy to Tbilisi transports pathogens, as well as frozen human blood under diplomatic cover. The United States Embassy to Tbilisi is the address to which blood samples and pathogens are being shipped. The Embassy’s press office declined to comment. Below are some of the papers listed:

Another letter (not in English) from the Ministry of Health of Georgia to the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi exempts the importation from registration as the American diplomats claim the frozen human blood is needed for research purposes in connection with an American program on Hepatitis C in Georgia. Diplomatic cargo are exempt from inspection and taxes. According to instructions from the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), which oversees and funds the biolabs, biological material for the needs of the program must be shipped as “hand-carrying” items to the U.S. embassies. A couple more papers are listed below:

In cases of importation into Russia, the biological material must be carried by diplomats in a pouch sealed as diplomatic cargo. Other instructions to the U.S. personnel working under the military program prohibit the use of prostitutes, and any interaction with individuals who may reasonably be assumed to be working as prostitutes. Romantic, intimate or sexual relations with local citizens or among team members are strongly discouraged as “foreign security services are known to use the enticement of such relations to exploit foreign officials.” As such, a relationship with foreign nationals must be reported to DTRA as soon as possible, the document reads.

U.S. scientists test viruses under diplomatic immunity. Tasked with the program at the Lugar Center are biologists from the US Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-G) along with private American contractors and the US Center for Disease Control (CDC). Certain zones of the laboratory are classified zones and are accessible only to American citizens with security clearance. They are accorded diplomatic immunity under the 2002 US-Georgia Agreement on defense cooperation. Below are DOD requirements for contractors under the DTRA program, along with the U.S.-Georgia agreement for military and civilian personnel:

Joshua Bast is the deputy director of the U.S. Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-

G). The American military scientist drives a diplomatic car and enjoys diplomatic immunity without being one. He has been deployed to Georgia since 2015 by the Pentagon Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. His military also operates a separate lab inside the Lugar Center, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research biological laboratory. When confronted by the reporter at the entrance of the laboratory, he denied working there. This sounds a lot like the Democratic Party, which lies, denies, and blames when they are confronted. He does, however, work at the Lugar Center, which was verified by leaked emails between the Pentagon and the Georgian Ministry of Health, listed below:

Joshua Bast is the deputy director of USAMRU-Georgia, according to leaked correspondence between the Pentagon medical research unit in Georgia and the Georgian Health Ministry. The address of USAMRU-Georgia indicated in this official email (above) is the address of the Lugar Center (16 Kakheti Highway, Tbilisi). Why does a Pentagon employee lie about his workplace? I have not received any answer. Joshua Bast drives off immediately after being challenged. He is not the only US non-diplomat working on the Pentagon program, who has been accorded diplomatic immunity. There are six diplomatic cars in the car parking lot of the laboratory, all of them with registration plates of the US Embassy.

There are security guards patrolling the area around the laboratory in an unmarked car, which are paid for by the Pentagon and not by the government of Georgia, according to information obtained from the US Federal Contract registry. Hence, Georgia has no control over the activities of its foreign sponsor. Furthermore, the Pentagon scientists can work in direct violation of international law because it is not applicable. Under a 3 year-long agreement between the Walter Reed Army Institute and the Georgian National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), the Pentagon has been given full access to the local collection of deadly bio agents in order to study them. These are agents which can cause Anthrax, Tularemia, Brucella and plague. The parties agree that no court, tribunal, or international entity has jurisdiction or authority to consider or provide judgment in case of disputes arising between the parties of the agreement. Here is the agreement:

The work that US diplomats perform at the Lugar Center has nothing to do with diplomacy and does not fall under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Joshua Bast, for instance, is an entomologist and researches insects, according to a video released by the US Embassy to promote the peaceful purposes of the otherwise military program of the US in Georgia. Why does an entomologist work for the U.S. Army and why is he accorded diplomatic immunity? Entomological warfare is a type of biological warfare that uses insects to transmit diseases. Georgia borders on the United States main rival – Russia. Moscow has repeatedly voiced its concerns about the potential development of biological weapons near the Russian borders, including the spread of diseases through insects. Documents show a number of Pentagon projects involving insects as possible vectors of diseases in Georgia. In 2014 The Lugar Center was equipped with an insect facility and launched a project on Sand Flies in Georgia and the Caucasus. In 2014-2015 sand fly species were collected under another project “Surveillance Work on Acute Febrile Illness” and all (female) sand flies were tested to determine their infectivity rate. A third project, also including sand flies collection, studied the characteristics of their salivary glands. Sand flies carry dangerous parasites in their saliva which they can transmit to humans through a bite. The local population is complaining about being bitten by these flies while showering in the bathroom.

The Pentagon scientists have also performed experiments involving tropical mosquitos and ticks in Georgia. In 2016, 21,590 ticks were collected for a DNA database for future studies at The Lugar Center under the Pentagon project “Assessing the Seroprevalence and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in Georgia”. The Pentagon projects involving ticks coincided with an inexplicable outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) which is caused by infection through a tick-borne virus. In 2014, 34 people became infected (amongst which a 4-year old child). A total of 60 cases with 9 fatalities have been registered in Georgia since 2009, according to a leaked email sent by the Lugar Center director Amiran Gamkrelidze to the Minister of Health of Georgia David Sergeenko. The Pentagon does have drones for powder dissemination of biological agents too, according to information obtained from the US Federal contracts registry. Similarly, the U.S. Army documents show that the Pentagon has developed various dissemination methods for attack using explosives.

Besides having various military capabilities to disperse bio-agents, DTRA has also full access to the Russian borders, granted under a military program called Georgia Land Border Security Project. The activities related to this project have been outsourced to a private American company – Parsons Government Services International. Parsons has been awarded a $17.7 million contract under the Pentagon border security project in Georgia. DTRA has previously contracted Parsons for similar border security projects in Lebanon, Jordan, Libya and Syria. Interestingly, a subcontractor working on this border security project – TMC Global Professional Services, also happens to be contracted by DTRA for scientific support at the Lugar Center. The same American company – TMC, which works at the Lugar Center also carries out surveillance for Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) on the Georgian borders. The project coincides with the incident involving powder dissemination which was reported and filmed in neighbouring Chechnya close to the Georgian border.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has outsourced much of the work under the military program to private companies, which are not accountable to Congress, and which can operate more freely and move around the rule of law. TMC was awarded a $3.8 million contract in 2016 running until 2021 for support services at the Lugar Center. Interestingly, the same year the same private company was awarded another $975 million counter narcoterrorism contract by the Pentagon. Why has a company, which works for the Pentagon on a program to counter narcotics, been concurrently given work at a military laboratory which burns chemicals at night? The Pentagon has spent at least $161 million on the Lugar Center in Tbilisi under a contract with the private American contractor – CH2M Hill. This is half of the total sum of $ 361.4 million that the company had been awarded to operate Pentagon bio-laboratories in Georgia, Uganda, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan and South East Asia.

Probably one of the most disturbing projects funded by the Pentagon is the U.S. Air Force has been specifically collecting Russian RNA and synovial (referring to fluid within a joint) tissue samples. According to the genome study, the Russian “DNA is available from Dr. Mikeljon Nikolich”. He is one of the Pentagon scientists at the Lugar Center and is tasked with genome research on strains in pathogen collections from former Soviet Union countries, as leaked by the document below:

The Ministry of Health of Georgia has signed an Agreement with the US Center for Disease Control and the private American pharmaceutical company Gilead. According to this agreement, the American side provides free medicines for Hepatitis C treatment. In exchange, the private American company cannot be held accountable for any damage (intentional or not) which may result from the program. The agreement is signed by David Sergeenko from the Georgian side. Remember, this is the same company that Fauci’s wife is tied to, as well as the producer of the “kidney killing” drug Remdesivir. Leaked confidential documents show at least 100 deaths reported to Gilead, over the last 3 years, of patients under treatment with the Gilead drugs Sovaldi and Harvoni which had been provided to them for free.

Dilyana Gaytandzhieva is a Bulgarian investigative journalist and Middle East correspondent. She did a wonderful job with this story, at times, risking arrest. It is nice to see a journalist with integrity and ethics, unlike our Fake News media, which continues to deny the presence of biological laboratories in Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries. Fake News media seems hell-bent in starting a nuclear war, which would be a planetary extinction event. That would make the globalists extremely happy! I am sick of all the lies, coverups, and denial from the Fake News media, as well as the fake Biden administration. May Yahweh bless all and be well.
