Hunter Biden’s Ukraine Biolabs Connection

More laptop fallout: Emails indicate Biden helped fund a company setting up Ukraine biolabs.

Hunter Biden’s laptop is the story that just keeps on giving. The laptop was first discovered and reported by the New York Post in October 2020. It contained a lot of compromising material, which is why it was blackballed by the mainstream media as “fake news” and Russian disinformation. Only much later did Leftmedia outlets like The New York Times finally admit that Hunter’s laptop was a real story, and that it did indeed contain compromising material that could have significantly impacted Joe Biden in his bid for the White House.

Hunter was and is being investigated by the Justice Department for tax fraud. When the White House has been questioned about the president’s son being the target of an FBI probe, Press Secretary Jen Psaki has shooed the question away by simply asserting that the younger Biden is a private citizen and therefore no comments will be made. The trouble is, as we have repeatedly noted, there is little that Hunter was involved in, especially when it came to his lucrative business dealings, that his father wasn’t also connected to. This, of course, explains why the White House is so keen to avoid any questions related to Hunter.

Well, the infamous Hunter laptop apparently has a lot more compromising information on it besides nude photos of him doing drugs and hanging out with a prostitute. Indeed, some of the more intriguing information is related to Hunter’s business deals. The mention of one in particular has recently piqued interest, as it plays into Russia’s propaganda claims of the U.S. being involved in secretly developing bioweapons programs in Ukraine.

Hunter’s laptop reportedly contained emails revealing he had helped to secure funding for the construction of biolabs in Ukraine. While Hunter was a board member on Ukrainian energy company Burisma back in 2014, he introduced San Francisco-based pathogen research company Metabiota to Burisma for a “science project” involving Ukrainian biolabs. Metabiota was awarded $307,091 for the project.

Metabiota was a subcontractor to the Defense Department’s principal contractor Black & Veatch (B&V), which was originally hired by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency back in 2010 to build a biolab in Odessa to help “enhance the government’s existing surveillance systems to detect, report and respond to bioterrorism attacks, epidemics and potential pandemics.”

While there is nothing to suggest that these biolabs for which Hunter helped secure funding construction were involved in anything nefarious, such as the research and development of bioweapons, it certainly hasn’t stopped some from making such a claim.

For example, former CIA officer Sam Faddis insinuates as much by stating: “His father was the vice president of the United States and in charge of relations with Ukraine. So why was Hunter not only on the board of a suspect Ukrainian gas firm, but also hooked them up with a company working on bioweapons research?” That’s a legitimate question to ask, but Faddis suggests without evidence that these biolabs were involved in bioweapons research. There is no such evidence, though there is Russian propaganda spinning these publicly known biolabs doing legitimate research into illegal bioweapons research labs.

The fact that Hunter’s laptop shows he used his influence as the son of the vice president to get contracts for a company to construct biolabs does not mean the biolabs themselves are nefarious. What may be nefarious is Hunter’s influence peddling. Unfortunately, this story will be used to spin up more conspiracy theories in support of a propaganda narrative created by Vladimir Putin to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
