Cloning Babies, Ukraine Labs, and Epstein: How Western Media Ignores Epstein Files Revelations
Guest Post by Uriel Araujo at Global Research. Reposted with permission.
Among the many revelations brought by the Epstein files recently released, one has been overlooked, if not almost entirely ignored. Buried amid many sordid sex-trafficking messages, there is a set of references to biological laboratories in Ukraine. They point to experimental research of an ethically extreme nature, tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s long-documented obsessions with eugenics, genetics, and human engineering. The near-total silence of the Western press on this is mind-blowing, to say the least.
The relevant material appears in email exchanges released by the US Department of Justice. In one message (file EFTA02625486) dated August 30, 2018, Epstein’s correspondent, Bryan Bishop, writes of “proceeding with more mouse testing at my Ukraine lab (surgeries/microinjection)”.
In another message from August 5, 2018 (file (EFTA01003966), the same individual outlines a project whose ambition is, simply put, staggering:
“This gets us out of our self-funded ‘garage biology’ phase to the first live birth of a human designer baby, and possibly a human clone, within 5 years. Once we reach the first birth, everything changes and the world will never be the same again, much less the future of the human species”. The same exchange mentions the “use of funds” spreadsheet for a “designer baby and human cloning company”.
The author of these messages, Bryan Bishop, is a Bitcoin developer, self-described transhumanist, and biohacker with a public footprint in cryptocurrency and radical life-extension circles. His interest in funding cloning research has long been known, but the Epstein angle is only coming to light now. In fact, a forgotten 2019 piece by Antonio Regalado (senior editor for biomedicine for MIT Technology Review) details how Bishop was funding “a Ukrainian lab” to conduct experiments on mice connected to his “designer baby” project.
Bishop here is not a marginal crank emailing a nobody. He was actively seeking funding from Epstein, whose power, influence and financial reach was enormous, as we are increasingly learning. The correspondence suggests logistical planning rather than idle speculation, with Ukraine explicitly named as a site for laboratory work. Anyone can search for these messages in the Epstein Library.
Sputnik covered the exchange, explicitly mentioning Bryan Bishop, Ukraine, and the laboratory reference. By contrast, the Telegraph reported on the same email chain but, interestingly enough, carefully omitted any reference to Ukraine, reframing the story as a general tale of Epstein’s interest in eugenics and “designer babies”.
One may recall that Epstein’s fascination with genetics and selective breeding was already documented years ago. In 2019, before these emails were public, the Guardian reported that Epstein hoped to “seed the human race” with his DNA, allegedly planning to impregnate women at his infamous Zorro ranch in New Mexico ranch, where underage sexual abuse and human trafficking had been denounced. The New York Times also reported this, describing Epstein’s fixation on genetic engineering, and noting that prominent scientists attended his gatherings even after his 2008 conviction. No wonder: he was funding many of them.
What the newly released emails do is add is shift the story from grotesque fantasy to something that looks uncomfortably like an attempt at implementation. Be as it may, the mention of Ukraine as a site for such work inevitably intersects with a much older debate.
For years, allegations concerning biological laboratories in Ukraine have circulated, often dismissed in Western media as “Russian propaganda”. Yet the record is quite solid.
Speaking before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 8, 2022, then Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland confirmed that the US was working with Ukrainian biological research laboratories. Documents dating back to 2012 show that the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency funded bioresearch in Ukraine, and leaked materials from March 2022 indicated that an agreement under the Obama administration led to the construction of laboratories handling “especially dangerous pathogens”.
One should also keep in mind that Ukraine has long been a hub for CIA activity, as even the New York Times acknowledged when reporting on the expansion of US covert operations there for over a decade. Epstein himself was no stranger to arms-dealings and CIA connections, even including Iran-Contra links.
I have recently argued that allegations of biological and chemical weapons use in Ukraine deserve serious scrutiny. Accusations involving prohibited weapons are not new, and claims about shady biological research facilities have surfaced repeatedly over the years. Again, Western outlets have largely waved these away, yet they have occasionally surfaced in mainstream media, including reporting on documents indicating Hunter Biden’s role in introducing Metabiota to Ukraine and its ties to pathogen research (Hunter being the son of former US President Joe Biden).
In fact, Ukraine’s well documented record of human rights infringements, including abuses reported by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, makes all of it more believable.
To be clear, the Epstein-Bishop emails do not, by themselves, prove the existence of a cloning program in Ukraine. That would be a claim requiring further evidence. But they do corroborate, in a limited yet disturbing way, the notion that Ukraine has been used as a permissive environment for ethically dubious research, shielded from scrutiny and potentially intertwined with Western intelligence networks. The fact that such material is emerging from the Epstein world, a network already tied to human trafficking and other atrocities is disturbing enough.
To sum it up, the Epstein files demand more than selective outrage and police investigation. They invite serious, sustained international scrutiny of covert biological research, and the institutions and figures that potentially enable it, including shady American players with their share of ties with intelligence agencies.
