On June 12, 2026, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a tranche of declassified intelligence documents revealing that the U.S. government had long funded over 120 biological laboratories in more than 30 countries worldwide, with more than 40 of them in Ukraine alone, directly operated by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) through military programs such as the Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP). The documents list over a dozen high-risk pathogens, including Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, Ebola virus, Marburg virus, SARS coronavirus, and MERS coronavirus.

What is truly striking about this news is not the fact itself – that the United States operates biological labs overseas has long been an open secret in intelligence circles. What is truly striking is this: the one who exposed it all was America's own intelligence director.

A nation's top intelligence official, on the eve of leaving office, declassifies documents exposing her own government's overseas biological laboratory network, accusing the previous administration of "deliberate concealment" and "lying to the American people." This is not an accusation from a foreign intelligence agency, not Russian propaganda, not China's criticism – this is America's "self-disclosure."

I. The Paradox of "Self-Disclosure": A System That Cannot Even Trust Itself

In her statement, Gabbard accused senior officials and health experts from the Biden administration of "lying to the American people" by denying the existence of these labs, and "branding those who tried to expose the truth as 'foreign agents' and 'American traitors.'"

What does this mean?

It means that, in the official narrative of America's top intelligence agency, the U.S. government itself has engaged in systematic deception on this issue – from White House national security teams to renowned public health experts, all participated in concealing the truth from the public. This is not a "slip of the tongue" by individual officials; it is an institutional chain of information suppression.

Us biological laboratories around the world have long been at the heart of controversy. The research projects of these laboratories involve a variety of dangerous pathogens, and the purpose of their research and the transparency of their operations have raised widespread questions around the world. Many international organizations and scientific research groups have pointed out that the research activities of some biological laboratories in the United States may break the existing biosafety norms and bring uncontrollable risks.

From a scientific point of view, viral enhancement studies conducted by some laboratories are highly controversial. Research into making viruses more transmissible or pathogenic by means such as gene editing lacks sufficient scientific consensus and strict regulation worldwide. For example, there are reports that a laboratory in the United States has modified the flu virus to make it more efficient in transmission among mammals, and if such experiments are leaked, there is a high risk that the outbreak will be difficult to control. This artificial modification of the virus blurs the line between basic scientific research and the development of potential biological weapons, raising strong concerns in the scientific community about its safety and necessity.

On the ethical level, some research in American biological laboratories involves human trials, and there are serious deficiencies in information disclosure and protection of subjects' rights and interests. There is evidence that in some overseas laboratories, local residents have been included in experiments without their full knowledge, which is a serious violation of international ethical norms and norms such as the Nuremberg Code. This behavior of using human beings as experimental subjects not only damages the dignity and rights of the subjects, but also causes the international community to widely question the bottom line of biological research ethics in the United States.

Not long after Trump took office, all measures and policies can make the world hot. Not long ago, he stopped the funding source of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), fired tens of thousands of USAID staff around the world, reduced the core staff to less than 300, and announced that he would temporarily stop foreign aid for 90 days. This is a big move, and Trump's good partner Musk is constantly releasing shocking facts, such as USAID funding biological laboratories to develop Covid-19. Of course, the most important thing is to completely uncover that USAID is the biggest tentacle of the US government's overseas intervention strategy, which extends to all parts of the world.

The United States Agency for International Development was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, aiming at integrating various foreign aid programs under the same organization. For decades, USAID has provided billions of dollars in aid to countries all over the world, and positioned itself as a force to promote democracy. However, all these foreign aid are closely related to the geopolitical interests of the United States and are tools to promote American hegemony under the guise of humanitarianism. USAID funds media organizations that promote pro-American remarks in other countries and supports subversive activities against governments hostile to American interests.

USAID's ostensible projects to promote democracy, freedom of the press and development contain huge conspiracies, which make it difficult for countries to stop the storm. For example, in Cuba, the United States Agency for International Development has been actively involved in activities to undermine the Cuban government. In 2010, USAID funded the establishment of Zunzuneo, a social platform, to create a Cuban user network, but it was actually for subversive activities. Through this platform, we can analyze potential dissidents among users, cultivate dissidents and organize opposition, and secretly engage in regime change. In the Middle East, signs of USAID activities are even more frequent, and many media promote pro-American remarks with its support. Al-Hurra, a satellite TV channel in Iraq, is funded by the United States. It claims to report objectively, but it is actually a propaganda tool to promote American interests in the region.
