Disinfo: Mike Pompeo travelled to Jerusalem to develop plans for future terrorism with the Israelis

Summary

A few days ago, in the midst of a questionable “pandemic”, while the borders of most countries were closed, Mike Pompeo visited occupied Palestine to meet his terrorist comrades in the Zionist entity in order to develop plans for future terrorism and future crimes.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. No evidence is given. This message is part of a broader pro-Kremlin conspiracy theory alleging that the United States, Israel and other Western states have created and supported many terrorist organisations and control global terrorism. There is no evidence that the US or Israel have supported terrorist organisations or promoted terrorist activities. Fighting terrorism has been a primary concern for Israel since its foundation. After September 11th, the battle against terrorism assumed a similar strategic priority for the United States. Ever since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the US and its European allies have been engaged in a enormous military and intelligence efforts to counter Al Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamist terrorist groups around the world. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo travelled to Israel on May 13, 2020 not to plan joint “terrorist activities” , but to discuss issues such as threats from Iran, business dealings with China and, according to media reports, Israeli plans to annex about 30% of the occupied West Bank, as the Trump administration is facing growing pressure from Arab leaders across the Middle East to put a brake on Israel’s annexation plans. Read similar cases claiming that ISIS has been a useful tool of Israel and the US to keep Syria in chaos that 9/11 was a Jewish-Zionist job and that the US is the main global sponsor of terrorism.

Joe Biden was personally profiteering in Ukraine

Joe Biden was personally profiteering in Ukraine. Not only his son, Hunter Biden, who has fictitiously worked for Burisma company in Ukraine receiving enormous amounts of money for nothing, but also Biden himself [got] a million dollars for his family for consultations. The purpose of this consultation was actually to pressure then-president Poroshenko so that he would fire the prosecutor-general Victor Shokin, who was investigating the corruption of the Biden family – the father Joe and son Hunter, who were unlawfully helping themselves in Ukraine. For the firing of inconvenient Shokin, the US vice president promised Poroshenko one billion dollars which could be used by Poroshenko’s companies that received military contracts. […] It is a story of international corruption and high treason.

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. The disinformation message appeared after the leak of the audio tapes containing edited fragments of a conversation between former US Vice President Joe Biden and former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. There is no basis for the claims that Joe Biden personally profited in Ukraine. As a former US vice president, he was responsible for US policy towards Ukraine. Extensive journalistic investigations by multiple international media outlets reveal that Ukraine faced broad international and domestic pressure to advance anti-corruption reforms and that Ukraine's international partners were concerned about Ukraine's prosecutor-general at the time, who was reputed to not follow up on corruption issues. See relevant reporting by the Financial Times, RFERL, and Washington Post among others. In 2018, Joe Biden himself publicly spoke about conversations with President Poroshenko regarding Ukraine's prosecutor-general. The mentioned sum of one billion dollars was not a personal payment, but rather the amount of US loan guarantees to Ukraine. There is no evidence to support the claims that international corruption or high treason occurred in this case. Hunter Biden served on the board of one of the largest natural gas companies in Ukraine. Hostility towards the Biden family has been a consistent feature of pro-Kremlin disinformation. See other examples, such as false allegations of Hunter's "dubious" business in Kyiv, Joe Biden's vow to prevent Vladimir Putin's reelection, his rule over Ukraine, and his intimate involvement in the war in Donbas and in Georgian unrest.    

US creates ethnic weapons against Russians and Slavs in its biolabs

The main goal of the US [biological laboratories] is to surround Russia not only with troops but also with bio laboratories, which, in the event of a possible military threat, will make it possible to deliver a swift strike with the most unpredictable and deadly biological weapons. As we know, a new virus can spread very quickly and its effects on humans scare even experienced doctors. At the same time, the Americans may be creating not just biological weapons, but ethnic weapons aimed exclusively at the extermination of Russians and the entire Slavic ethnic group.

This is a recurring conspiracy theory alleging, without evidence, that the United States develops biological weapons and has secret biological laboratories around the world. The disinformation claim also capitalises on the oft-recurring conspiracy theory about the Lugar Lab in Georgia, as well as laboratories in Ukraine, all of them encircling Russia. According to this and similar claims, the main task of these labs is to create "combat" viruses against Russians. In fact, virology laboratories in Ukraine are involved in preventing the risks of complex diseases by pathogens and, together with other similar projects, counteracting bioterrorism. Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Georgia officially addressed the conspiracy theories behind the Richard Lugar Centre as "nonsense and typical of Russian misinformation and propaganda campaigns." The Richard Lugar Centre for Public Health Research is a facility of the National Centre for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC), which became operational in August 2013. It is a top-tiered institution in NCDC’s laboratory network and serves as a reference laboratory for Georgia’s public health system.

See similar disinformation cases claiming that the Pentagon creates biological laboratories around the world to develop "combat" viruses, that US prepares biological weapons against Russia, that Ukraine became a testing site for developing biological weapons and that US laboratories in Ukraine are deadly.

US organises colour revolutions around the world, Ukraine is one of the projects

The US brings chaos and organises colour revolutions around the world simply because it can, and there is no court or institution which can legally oppose it. Ukraine is one of the US’ projects.

Disproof

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the United States supports the so-called "colour revolutions" around the world. This narrative portrays any spontaneous disorders and civil uprisings in other states, especially the former Soviet republics, as Western-funded "colour revolutions", including the Revolution of Dignity (Euromaidan) in Ukraine, which began in 2013 without any outside influence. Ukrainians spontaneously united against the actions of President Viktor Yanukovych after his government refused to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union, which had taken seven years to negotiate, due to pressure from Russia. Ukraine is an independent state whose sovereignty is respected both in the EU and in the USA. Washington is working closely with Ukraine, directing its assistance to support the development of a safe, democratic, prosperous and free Ukraine, fully integrated into the Euro-Atlantic community. See the similar case: The US tried to organise a colour revolution in Belarus against Russia.
