Faces and Name of 150+ Bilderbergers Who Controlled Covid19 Pandemic Response

The Expose

Over 150 Bilderbergers (of the 1,861 who are still alive) have played important parts in the Covid-19 event. Many, perhaps most, of the below have been active in various roles; this page attempts to name and shame them and reveal the roles they have played.

Bilderberg/2021 by Wikispooks

It is unknown whether a 2021 Bilderberg Meeting was held; the group’s website stated that it “had to be cancelled, due to travel and meeting restrictions.”[1] Of the 1861 living Bilderbergers, over 140, listed below, have played significant roles in managing the COVID-19 event: Many of those listed below are also on the list of COVID-19 WEF perpetrators.

[…]

Many, perhaps most, of the below have been active in various roles; this page attempts to list them under the most important played. Steering committee members (both present and former) are underlined.

Virus R & D

[…]

A lot of evidence suggests that SARS-CoV2 did not occur naturally, but was genetically manipulated from a naturally occurring bat coronavirus and possibly parts of additional viruses [2]. Bilderberg members have done important work in developing the CRISPR gene editing technique:

Bernard Cazeneuve – 2018 – In 2017 attended the founding ceremony of the BSL-4 lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, together with Yves Lévy, whose wife abruptly banned over-the-counter sales of hydroxychloroquine in France in January 2020,[3] declaring it “poisonous” without explanation.[4][5]

Emmanuelle Charpentier – 2016 – Pioneered CRISPR as a tool for genome editing (for which she was co-recipient of a Nobel prize in 2020)

Sean Parker – 2010 – Billionaire who was the first to gain NIH approval for a trial of CRISPR [6]

Pandemic Planning

Many Bilderbergers have worked repeatedly at Pandemic Planning; the group has been well represented at such exercises for at least 20 years.[7] Those with the most obvious ties:

  • Gro Harlem Brundtland – 1982, 1983, introduced A Spreading Plague (2019 Pandemic planning exercise), and attended Atlantic Storm, and the February 2020 Preventing Global Catastrophic Biological Risks exercise
  • Avril Haines – 2017 – US Deep State actor who participated in Event 201 and the February 2020 Preventing Global Catastrophic Biological Risks exercises. Deputy Director of the CIA 2013-15, Director of National Intelligence since 2021
  • Sam Nunn – 1997, 1996 – Long experience in pandemic planning, Operation Dark Winter, A Spreading Plague, the February 2020 Preventing Global Catastrophic Biological Risks exercise
  • Judith Rodin – 2005 – As President of the Rockefeller Foundation took part in the Lock Step exercise which foresaw a pandemic as the means by which a techno totalitarian government might unfold.

Task Forces

See Wikispooks’ full article: COVID-19 Task Force

In Spring 2020, many nation states formed COVID-19 Task Forces, many of which had, or acted as if they had, “state of emergency” powers to override standard operating procedure.

National Task Forces

  • Vittorio Colao – 2018 – Leader of a special task force to handle “Phase 2” of the Italian Covid Task Force
  • Christopher Liddell – 2017 – Member of Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force
  • Matthew Pottinger – 2019 – Member of Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force. His wife Yen Pottinger was explaining the importance of social distancing in mid-March 2020[8]
  • Kathleen Sebelius – 2008, 2007 – Member of Biden’s White House Coronavirus Task Force [9] and a board member of the Kaiser Family Foundation [10]
  • Jeffrey Zients – 2017 – Became White House coronavirus coordinator in 2021,[11] announced in August that year that “it’s time to impose some requirements” where COVID jabs are concerned.[12]
  • Mark Carney – 2019, 2018, 2012, 2011 – “acting as an informal adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”[13]
  • Andrew Liveris – 2012 – Ex Dow CEO and Member of the Board of Citigroup, “Special Adviser” to the Australia/National COVID-19 Coordination Commission [14]

Others

Other significant institutions have appointed Bilderbergers to their Covid or pandemic groups:

  • Oliver Bäte – 2017 – Bavaria’s COVID-19 Economic Advisory Council member who made various alarmist statements about the virus, such as comparing it to a “worldwide meteor impact” or the explosion of a nuclear power station.[15]
  • Laurence Boone – 2015 – A Commissioner of the Lancet Commission on COVID-19[16] – As the Global Economic Forum’s chief economist, advising about the economic response to COVID-19[17][18]

  • Philip Zelikow – 2007, 2006 – Drafter of the 9/11 Commission Report,[25] appointed to lead the University of Virginia’s COVID Commission Planning Group [26]

Social change

The “response” to COVID-19 was a sweeping set of social changes enforced by fiat, having minimal scientific justification, if any. They directly contradicted best practices up to 2020.

  • Stefan Löfven – 2013 – As Swedish PM, managed the Swedish Covid measures.[27]
  • Mary Ann Sieghart – 2001 – Presented Fallout on BBC Radio 4, a series about the possible outcomes of the Coronavirus.[28][29]

Lockdowns

Most nation states decreed what was termed a “lockdown”, i.e., a drastic restriction of freedom of movement. This was in opposition to the 2019 WHO best practice guide for pandemics, which specifically advised against this practice. As of Summer 2021, there is little scientific evidence that these measures had any measurable impact on the spread of COVID-19, but this claim remains part of the COVID-19 official narrative.

  • Bill Morneau – 2017, 2016 – as Canadian Finance Minister in 2020 “approved the spending of nearly $200 billion in federal aid in a deliberate effort to shut down huge portions of Canadian society”[34]
  • Norbert Röttgen – 2014 – As chair of the CDU he was promoting the German Covid lockdowns [35]
  • Erna Solberg – 2011 – Norwegian PM who led the national lockdowns. Directed billions of dollars to international vaccine programs (GAVI etc)

Furlough Schemes

  • György Surányi – 1999, 1997, 1996 – Wrote a long essay in April 2020 suggesting the Hungarian government pay targeted subsidies to those who lose their jobs due to lockdowns.[36]

Digitalisation

  • Carlo Ratti – 2014 – Architect who published about Reimagining the Office [37]
  • Frans Timmermans – 2008 – Co-Executive Vice President of the European Commission for A Europe Fit for the Digital Age, Vice-President of the European Commission, took many opportunities to opine on “Which world do we want after COVID-19?”[38]

Masks

  • Dianne Feinstein – 1991 – In July 2020 proposed withholding COVID-19 relief from states without mask mandates.[39] Both she and her husband sold stock in Allogene Therapeutics in 2021 before the lockdowns.[40][41]

  • James Vaupel – 2011 – Edited and co-authored academic research about COVID-19,[62] on topics such as the death toll in Sweden after their refusal to instigate widespread lockdowns.[63][64][65]

Big media

The non-reporting of Bilderberg by TV or newspapers reveals that the group has considerable control of big media, which was mobilised to support the official narrative.

  • Juan Luis Cebrián – 2018-2001, 1993, 1990-1987, 1985, 1983- Billionaire, media mogul, one of the ten most influential Spaniards in Spain and Latin America for 44 years (from 1976 to 2019).
  • Andrew Coyne – 2015 – Canadian columnist and aggressive pusher of the COVID official narrative. e.g., He dismissed the Great Reset as a “conspiracy theory”, and in December 2021 headlined an article Is the case for vaccine mandates like the case for seatbelt laws? No, it’s much, much stronger [66]
  • Mathias Döpfner – 2019-2014, 2007-2005 – Billionaire, Axel Springer Publishing House/CEO
  • Felix Gutzwiller – 2013 – On Swiss TV in March 2020 answering public questions about COVID-19 [67]
  • François Lenglet – 2017 – French editor who in March 2021 termed vaccine passports “the best recovery instrument available” [68]

Promoting panic

Commercially-controlled media’s coverage of COVID-19 was a more-or-less monotone echo of the fear-driven official narrative, while calmer, more scientific voices “were never invited to the expert table”, as the editor of Bild admitted in August 2021.[69]

UN overwhelmingly demands Israel end occupation of Palestinian territorie

Press TV

The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution that demands Israel end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory within a year.

A total of 124 countries voted in favor, while 14, including the US, opposed the resolution. Britain, Switzerland, Ukraine, India and Germany were among the 43 countries to abstain.

The resolution welcomes a July advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice that said Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and settlements is illegal and should be withdrawn.

The advisory opinion – by the highest United Nations court  said this should be done “as rapidly as possible.”

The measure calls for Israel to pay reparations to Palestinians “for the damage caused to all the natural and legal persons concerned in the occupied Palestinian territory”.

The resolution also demands sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel.

The 193-member Assembly also calls on states to “take steps towards ceasing the importation of any products originating in the Israeli settlements, as well as the provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel … where there are reasonable grounds to suspect that they may be used in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

Riyad Mansour, Palestine’s UN ambassador who opened the Assembly meeting on Tuesday, said no occupying power can have a veto right over the inalienable rights of the people under its occupation.

“Those who think the Palestinian people will accept a life of servitude, a life of apartheid, are the ones who are not being realistic,” Mansour said.

“Those who imagine the Palestinian people will disappear or surrender are the ones who are not being realistic. Those who claim that peace is possible in our region without a just resolution for the question of Palestine are the ones who are not being realistic.

“Each country has a vote, and the world is watching us,” Mansour said.

“Please stand on the right side of history. With international law. With freedom. With peace.”

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield urged countries to vote no on Wednesday. Washington, an arms supplier to and ally of Israel, has long opposed any resolution at the world body in favor of Palestine.

Unlike the Security Council, no country in the General Assembly has veto power.

The action isolates Israel days before world leaders travel to New York for their annual UN gathering.

In May, the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of reconsidering Palestine’s full membership. It is now recognized by 145 of the 193 member states.

Several countries, including Spain, Norway, and Ireland, recognized Palestine as a state in late May amid mounting criticism of Israel’s genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.

While the 15-member council is largely paralyzed on the ongoing Israeli genocidal campaign in Gaza, with the United States repeatedly vetoing censures of its ally Israel, the General Assembly has adopted several texts in support of Palestinian civilians.

A Non-Western View of Climate Change and Sustainability

The 2009 Sabotage of a Green World Government

Before we begin, it should be recalled that China and India were instrumental in sabotaging the December 2009 COP14 agenda in Copenhagen, which had promised to establish legally binding emission target cuts to guide the de-carbonization (and de-industrialization) of much of society.

Amidst a supposed pandemic and economic meltdown, puppet leaders like Sarkozy, Merkel and Obama championed a new era of green global governance and promised to consolidate a legally binding treaty to enforce decarbonization onto the nations of the globe. But it didn’t happen.

Why not?

[…]

Apparently China and India, along with African governments like Sudan (which had not yet been carved up on the careful watch of Rhodes Scholar Susan Rice) did not wish to sacrifice their industry and national sovereignty on the altar of climate change models and technocrats that had only weeks earlier been publicly exposed as frauds by East Anglia University researchers during the embarrassing Climategate scandal.

Imposing Limits to Growth onto Humanity: Derailing Nuclear and Space Economics

Under the post-industrial logic of the Trilateral Commission agents that took over the reigns of government in the 1970s, a full spectrum program was unleashed that shattered the spirit of progress that once animated a vibrant western culture. The creative momentum towards new breakthroughs in nuclear fission and fusion power, space tech and assisting former colonial people in their aspirations for industrial progress was systematically sabotaged as a new logic of scarcity management, population reduction and global governance was made the top priority for all US foreign and domestic policy.

Funding for advanced breakthroughs in space science was destroyed with the cancellation of the Apollo missions in 1973.

[…]

Fusion funding was cut so deeply during this time that scientists were deprived of the means of building prototypes to test their ideas, resulting in a deep demoralization and idiotic “truism” that commercial fusion power “would always be 30 years away”.

[…]

Heavy industry was outsourced under a new logic of “cheap labor,” and the formerly economic independent nations of the west became ever more dependent upon sweat shops, child labor and increasing rates of unpayable debts.

Henry Kissinger pulled every string to ensure that the world would remain addicted to hydrocarbons, which became the basis upon which a new era of asymmetric war and economic terrorism under the guise of the petro-dollar would be unleashed.

[…]

Resisting Malthus and Defending Open System Economics

Now let’s begin to see what China and other nations of the Multipolar Alliance are actually doing to reverse this trend towards decay and artificial scarcity under their own particular re-definition of “sustainability”.

Unlike the post-modern basket cases in the west, Eurasian nations are not resting their entire development strategies on windmills and solar panels (although China has become a leader in the development of these things as well).[4]

Instead, what we find are competent programs for hydropower, oil, coal, natural gas, hydrogen power and importantly, next generation nuclear power (with pioneering work on Molten Salt thorium as well as fusion power in the works).

The Strategic Role of Nuclear Power

[…]

Due to the takeover by a neo-Malthusian technocratic class under Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, not a single new construction was permitted between 1977 and 2013, as the USA (and Canada) was forced into a nuclear moratorium. The IER graph below showcases the direct effects of the Malthusian takeover and imposition of a system of artificial scarcity onto the formerly pro-industrial growth USA.

[…]

This doctrine was formalized with Agenda 21 (later renamed Agenda 2030) and the Earth Charter, co-authored by former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, and Strong between 1996-2000. The International Earth Charter drafting Committee was chaired by none-other than transhumanist billionaire Steven Rockefeller.

USA vs. China Energy Paradigms

In the USA, overall national energy production has not only stagnated, but has actually fallen from 26,545 Terawatt hours (TWh) in 2000 to 25,825 TWh in 2021, with an increased slide projected into the coming decades by those same forces who 1) sabotaged America’s advanced energy policies over the past decades and 2) wish to induce energy scarcity onto a frightened populous in order to justify a culling of humanity to “sustainable levels”.

In contrast, China has used this same 21-year interval very differently, increasing its annual energy use from 12,470 TWh in 2000 to 43,791 TWh in 2021.

The effects upon quality of life, per capita powers of labor, energy security, food production and educational opportunities have increased dramatically.

The one child limit (imposed by Kissinger and the Club of Rome 40 years ago) has been abolished, and average longevity, which was once led by the USA has been overtaken by China, which has lifted the average life expectancy from 44 years in 1963 to 77. 5 years today, and stands in stark contrast to the USA, whose average life expectancy fell to only 76.1 years of age as of September 2022.

[…]

China on the other hand hasn’t drunk Green New dealing kool aid, and instead thinks of energy in qualitative terms, which is why the Chinese government has made nuclear power a top priority for its coming 15-year-energy-strategy.

On Nov. 2, 2021, Bloomberg reported that “China is planning at least 150 new reactors in the next 15 years. More than the rest of the world has built in the last 35.”

India meanwhile has 23 reactors in operation, and will add 12 more by 2024.

Among those new designs built and operational in India are the fast breeder reactors imported from Russia, which opens up the door for India’s use of the abundant thorium-233 found under Indian soil, which will be used as part of India’s new three-step nuclear designs.

Between 2012-2021, Russia constructed 19 new reactors, 15 of which have been built in former colonial nations abroad.

Other nations collaborating with the Multipolar alliance have also seen the birth of a nuclear renaissance. Of those nations now making the leap into nuclear power development, we find the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt and dozens of African nations whose leaders have all signed deals with Russia to construct nuclear power.

[…]

Looking to NASA’s recent surprise discovery that the world’s biomass has increased by over 5% due in large measure to India India and China’s reforestation and afforestation the fact is slowly emerging into the zeitgeist that the apparent conflict between humanity’s aspirations to grow vs. the health of ecosystems is a chimera.

The New Silk Road vs. Build Back Better

The Northern Corridor: Currently the most developed and utilized of the three corridors that make up the 4 trillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (aka: New Silk Road), it consists of railways and pipelines that run from China to Kazakhstan, Russia, and Europe. Some Atlanticist geopoliticians would like to see this corridor shut down to further isolate ‘new enemy’ Russia’s transportation and commercial routes.

The Southern Corridor: Less developed but still important, this corridor involves the construction of continuous rail connections from China to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and potentially Turkey, before reaching Europe through ports in Lebanon and Syria, and via land-based connections in Turkey.

This route has the potential to promote sustainable peace and reconstruction in West Asian nations, and could possibly be extended to integrate and industrialize the Persian Gulf states through large-scale high-speed railway projects like the 2000 km Persian Gulf-Red Sea high-speed railway, and hasten development prospects in the strategic Horn of Africa.

The Middle Corridor: The most complicated but no less essential of these arteries is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), dubbed “the Middle Corridor” and features multimodal rail and sea transit of goods from China to Europe via Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, and Turkey.

Although this path involves the shortest distance, complications and additional costs arise with the complex process of transitioning from land routes to sea routes via ports in the Caspian Sea.

In recent months, the nations along the Middle Corridor have worked to harmonize their interests and coordinate their efforts to tap, process, and move the energy resources in the Caspian Sea (which contains the fourth largest natural gas reserves in the world).

On 30 March 2022, a quadrilateral agreement was signed between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Georgia to advance the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway system, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, and the Trans Anatolian National Gas Pipeline (TANAP), which is already in operation. The TANAP is part of the larger Southern Gas Corridor, which involves seven countries and consists of 3500 km of pipelines worth $35 billion.

The Unipolar Green BRI Doppelganger

In contrast to this healthier multipolar operating system, a pathetic concept called “Build Back Better” was introduced.

The oft-repeated term was ambiguously defined, but it was embraced by technocratic leaders of Atlanticist states, including the USA’s Joe Biden, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, the UK’s Boris Johnson, and the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen. The concept was later rebranded as “Build Back Better for the World” (B3W).

Despite its warm and fuzzy image, the Global Green New Deal and B3W failed to gain traction due to a lack of concrete action plans or details on how to finance and demonstrate the viability of the grand vision.

Similarly, in March 2021, Biden and Boris Johnson unveiled a new program called the “Green Belt Initiative,” which they described as a response to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. When asked for details on how to fund the $3 trillion in investments required to make the “green transition” to a world dependent on solar panels and windmills, no specifics were provided.

Once again, the concept was under defined, but the image presented was one of a green revolution expected to usher in a new era of “clean zero carbon infrastructure” led by utopian rules-based orderistas of the transatlantic west.

Within the framing of the B3W branding, “Global Green New Deal” was often celebrated as a warm and fuzzy concept, which former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney heralded as a $130 trillion renaissance into a post-hydrocarbon age.

In September 2021, the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen announced the “Global Green Gateway” as Europe’s response to the BRI; however, this initiative faced criticism for ignoring the hundreds of thousands of engineers trained by China in Africa over the past decade, and for projecting the historic predatory lending practices of Europe onto China.

[…]

In response, the White House released its newest rebranding of the B3W in the form of a G7-led program now titled “The Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment”.

This program promised $600 billion over five years to recipient nations in Africa, Southwest Asia, Latin America, East Asia, and Eastern Europe to build digital infrastructure, telecommunications, green energy, and soft infrastructure with a focus on gender equity.

The goal of this program was to provide poor nations with an alternative to China’s alleged predatory lending ambitions; however, few of the nations offered this “life raft” have shown much interest so far.

International Dynamics: Open vs. Closed Systems Clash

The Belt and Road Initiative has already won over much of Africa, as BRI-connected rail, ports, and other infrastructure are providing a breath of fresh air to nations long held hostage by IMF/World Bank conditionalities.

Pakistan and much of Southwest Asia are also increasingly on board the BRI through the growing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Twenty Arab states consolidated massive BRI infrastructure projects over the past three years, with Iran finalizing a $400 billion deal with China in July 2021, and even western-controlled puppet states like Turkey and Saudi Arabia realizing their lack of future within the collapsing unipolar order are grabbing the opportunity to join the New Silk Road.

Additionally, much of Latin America has also joined with hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure projects, with China holding controlling stakes in over 40 strategic ports across Latin America

[…]

China has set records for bridge building, tunneling, as well as water management, quantum computing, AI, advanced telecommunications, and even space science, becoming the first nation to ever land on the far side of the moon with an intent to mine Helium-3* and develop permanent bases on the Moon alongside Russia in the coming decade.

Erik Prince Comments on Appearance of Trump Assassins in BlackRock Commercials

Jim Hoft

Former Navy SEAL and founder of the private military company Blackwater, Erik Prince, joined Natalie Winters on The War Room on Tuesday to discuss the second unsuccessful assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in two months.

During their discussion Erik Prince pointed out the odd coincidence that both Trump failed assassins, Thomas Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh, were both featured in a BlackRock commercial.

Prince told Natalie Winters, “There’s some indication that shows both the Butler shooter and yesterday’s shooter both appeared in BlackRock TV commercials. The statistical likelihood of that being random is impossible.”

Prince also said the feds have lost all credibility in investigating the Trump would-be assassins.

Here is the full exchange:

Erik Prince: There’s one other weird thread. There’s some indication that shows both the Butler shooter and this guy yesterday both appeared in BlackRock TV commercials. The statistical likelihood of that being random is impossible.

So that’s why I got animated last night about how Florida needs to take the lead in this investigation because I just don’t see the federal government. I don’t see the FBI doing any adequate job.

The Miami field office, the head agent there, was instructed to scrub all his social media before he was appointed there because he was so brilliantly anti-Trump. This is the same field office that rated Mar-a-Lago on that bogus documents case.

So if we think that they’re going to be suddenly truth-seeking, the same guys that indicted him on complete nonsense charges were kidding ourselves.

And, so I really want Florida to flex up and assert, I mean, look, this is attempted murder in the state of Florida. It’s not just a federal crime, that’s a state crime. And I think the feds have lost any and all credibility on this.

We don’t know anything more about the Butler shooter. The Dems have tried to, the media has just tried to memory hold that as if something that doesn’t exist.

And now we have two shooting attempts, two assassination attempts on the for President, unprecedented in American history.

These threads have to be unspiraled, unwound, and the truth must come out because the The Left with their over-the-top, vitriolic, super-toxic language saying, Trump must be eliminated. He’s a threat to democracy. He’s Hitler, Hitler, Hitler. That gives license to every crazy left wing nut job to try to go after him.

And this guy had his final firing position. He was there for 12 hours with the ballistic plates against the fence, trying to give himself some cover from counter snipers.

And he had his GoPro posted there, mounted, ready because he was trophy hunting. He was there to be the hero of the left to say, I kill Donald Trump. I am the savior of democracy.

Hillary Clinton Advocates for Criminal Charges for Americans Spreading “Propaganda”

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has has decided to ignore the First Amendment and has advocated for punitive measures aimed at Americans who contribute to the spread of what she calls “propaganda.” Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Clinton suggested that holding American individuals accountable through civil or criminal charges could serve as a warning to deter the distribution of “disinformation.”

While Clinton acknowledged the importance of indicting foreign actors, namely Russians, directly responsible for meddling in US elections, she argued that Americans who play a role in amplifying “disinformation” should not be overlooked.

“I think it’s important to indict the Russians…who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting [former US President Donald] Trump back in 2016,” Clinton said. “But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.”

Clinton, who ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential race, endorsed the ongoing efforts of the State and Justice Departments to reveal the extent of Russian influence in US elections. Clinton has long maintained that her loss in 2016 was due to Russian interference. She described these efforts as merely scratching the surface of a much larger issue, adding, “There is a far distance to go.”

Her comments also touched on the broader issue of foreign influence in American politics, as Clinton warned that adversaries such as Russia, China, and Iran are seeking to sway the US electorate.

She underscored the call for greater vigilance in safeguarding the democratic process, stating: “We are not going to let adversaries, whether it’s Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.”

Clinton’s call for potential criminal penalties against US citizens who share “disinformation” is a controversial step toward restricting free speech. The idea of penalizing individuals for spreading information, regardless of its origins, raises concerns about the boundaries of government power and the potential for misuse of such laws to suppress dissenting views.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits Congress from making laws that abridge the freedom of speech. Under this protection, the idea of prosecuting individuals for the mere act of sharing information—regardless of its veracity—presents a potential conflict with these foundational rights.

Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of 30 officials? Yet more fake news about North Korea

Kim Jong Un reportedly launching probe into military shooting

Edwardo Vasco

Do you remember the terrible death of Kim Jong Un’s ex-girlfriend?

In 2013, the international press reported the story of Hyon Song Wol, singer of the Pochonbo band, who had reportedly met Kim ten years earlier and continued a secret relationship despite being married and having a baby. Then, one day, Hyon and 11 other performers were arrested, accused of recording pornographic videos amongst themselves and selling them. Despite this sin, some of them were carrying Bibles, which, of course, is an even greater sin in the “North Korean dictatorship.” Three days later, all were executed by a firing squad. To make matters worse, their closest relatives were forced to watch the executions, as well as members of other prominent bands. Moreover, the “regime” deemed those who witnessed the executions guilty by association with the sinners and sent them to concentration camps! What a monstrous dictatorship!

The tragic and insane story took a twist the following year when Hyon was interviewed on North Korean TV—and, behold, she was alive! The British newspaper The Independent called Hyon’s appearance “miraculous” (perhaps the singer’s resurrection was linked to the Bible found amid the bacchanalia!).

The explanation for the singer’s miraculous resurrection, however, is not supernatural. The first to report the tragic story of the performers was the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. The sources cited in the newspaper’s report were all anonymous. The South Korean disinformation service also had a hand in fabricating the story: shortly after the lie was spread, the head of South Korean intelligence, Nam Jae Joon, claimed he was also aware of the execution.

Chosun Ilbo is a major ultraconservative newspaper that acted as a propagandist for the Japanese Empire during the occupation of Korea, as well as for the military dictatorship that ruled the country until the end of the last century. It is distinctly anti-DPRK. But that’s not all: it is known for spreading fake news about Pyongyang. In 2019, both Chosun Ilbo and Chosun TV (owned by the same business group) reported that Kim Hyok Chol had been executed and Kim Yong Chol had been sentenced to hard labor. Both were nuclear negotiators for the DPRK in relations with the United States and were allegedly punished because the rapprochement process between the DPRK and the U.S. had not been successful. The sources cited by South Korean journalists were, again, anonymous. A few days later, however, Kim Yong Chol appeared alongside Kim Jong Un at an event broadcast by state television, a clear demonstration of Yong Chol’s prestige. CNN’s Taipei correspondent, Will Ripley, who had traveled to the DPRK around 20 times, also reported that Kim Hyok Chol was alive.

Despite its history of sensationalism and false news, the Chosun group continues to be a trusted source for major international media outlets. Earlier this month, the group reported that between 20 and 30 government officials had been executed for failing to prevent the deaths of 4,000 people in floods that hit the north of the country during the summer. As always, the Brazilian and international press eagerly spread the news, and O Globo even stated that Chosun TV was a “local broadcaster” from the DPRK. And, as always, the source of the information disseminated by Chosun was anonymous, as The Independent noted—even though it still endorsed the hoax with statements from “experts” on the subject, all of them South Korean and American.

What actually happened was quite different from the internationally orchestrated hoax. In early August, in a speech before flood victims in North Phyongan Province, Kim Jong Un took responsibility, as every leader should be conscious of doing, and announced the measures the government would take.

I felt uneasy because I could not help you much, despite my strong desire to do something. Although the entire country has sincerely mobilized to help, at this moment, I can only feel anxious and impatient because I have been unable to remove all the inconveniences you are experiencing in tents and poorly furnished public facilities.

In the same speech, the Korean leader announced that 130,000 young people and soldiers from the People’s Army were already being mobilized to rebuild infrastructure in North Phyongan. He also assured that all students and children from the areas affected by the heavy rains in North Phyongan, Jagang, and Ryanggang Provinces, which led to the Amnok River overflowing, would be transferred to Pyongyang during the reconstruction to stay safe and continue their studies, all at the expense of the State. In total, he announced that 15,400 people would be temporarily relocated to the country’s capital.

Nursing, edification, and education of students and other children are the most important of all state affairs, never to be abandoned even if the sky may fall in. Therefore, the State will take full responsibility for this work during the rehabilitation campaign. And state-backed care benefits will be offered in Pyongyang to the elderly and sick, honored disabled ex-soldiers, and nursing mothers before new houses are built in the flood-stricken areas.

Kim Jong Un also assured that those who remained in the affected cities during the reconstruction of their homes, in addition to the tents where they were already sheltered, could store their furniture and other belongings in safe places. Moreover, public restrooms with shower stalls and waste disposal systems would be provided to eliminate any possibility of contagious disease outbreaks. He also emphasized the issue of collective voluntary work, a historic characteristic of the Korean Revolution, as a means to solve the problem: “The assistance work must be conducted strictly under voluntary principles, never in a forced or organized manner.”

And so it happened. As the water was receding, the Paektusan Heroic Youth Shock Brigade— which received nearly 300,000 volunteer applications—was dispatched by the Workers’ Party to evacuate people from risky areas and begin the reconstruction process. One of the first measures was restoring water and electricity supplies. The metallurgical, steel, and mining industries increased production to meet the needs of the affected northern regions. Factories in all provinces focused their production on consumer goods for those affected. A special transportation scheme was set up on the railways to supply those regions with consumer and construction materials. Regional regiments of the WPK militias were sent to the affected provinces. Every sector of society was mobilized to aid in reconstruction. In addition to volunteers, who were joined by workers and soldiers to repair and rebuild buildings, roads, and bridges, professionals from various fields, such as doctors, scientists from the Academy of Sciences, and artistic ensembles, were also sent to the affected areas.

In Pyongyang, children and adults temporarily relocated from the northern areas at risk were offered visits to tourist and leisure sites such as circuses, theaters, museums, zoos, water parks, Mangyongdae Children’s Palace and Hill, and the Science and Technology Complex. Collective birthday parties are also being held for these people. The entire process is being closely monitored and reported daily by the Korean press.

The DPRK government estimated that the reconstruction would be completed within three months. Given the incredible mobilization of human and material resources, it is highly likely that this short deadline will indeed be met. Meanwhile, the vile propaganda of the DPRK’s enemies (and of the whole world) continues to spread its lowly lies. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

WEF admits COVID was a “test” of public obedience to new globalist world order

WEF admits COVID was a “test” of public obedience to new globalist world order

Ethan Huff

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has quietly revealed that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” was a “test” hatched by the globalists to see how compliant and obedient the public is to globalist tyranny.

On the “My Carbon” page of its website, the WEF makes a pitch for 15-minute “smart” cities as the solution to climate change. On that page, the WEF shows its hand about what COVID was really designed to do.

“COVID-19 was the test of society responsibility,” the WEF openly admits. “A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world.”

“There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.”

In other words, the WEF was testing us all to see how we would respond to ridiculously pseudoscientific measures like avoiding other people and covering one’s breathing holes with cloth and plastic. This “new normal,” as they called it, was meant to ease the world into a more permanent state of restricted living.

“They wanted to see how many of us would give up our individual freedom and individual sovereignty by complying with a ‘new normal’ that consisted of restrictions bordering on the absurd,” Leo Hohmann writes on his Substack.

“Why, for instance was it ‘safe’ to shop at Lowe’s or Home Depot but unsafe to shop at a small business or attend church? Why was it OK to go to strip clubs in Michigan but you couldn’t buy seeds for a garden?”

(Related: Once the government’s central bank digital currency [CBDC] is in place, it will be much easier for the deep state to control people during the next “pandemic.”)

“Sustainability” is about forced obedience to tyranny

When they first started using the term “sustainability” to describe a future free from excess waste and planetary destruction, the globalists had hoped that most people would simply buy in based on the name. Many people now realize, though, that sustainability is simply a code word for forced compliance with tyranny.

In the “sustainable” world of the future, Americans will no longer have the constitutionally protected freedom to speak up and question anything. The expectation will be that everyone complies at all times with the government’s orders without asking any questions, which is what we saw transpire during COVID.

“Would we be obedient in the face of idiotic new laws and regulations, like wearing face diapers to stop what was said to be an aerosolized virus, and standing six feet apart in public, and submitting to a never-before-used, unlicensed mRNA gene-based injection?” Hohmann asks.

“They said it was good for you, so roll up your sleeve. Don’t ask questions. If you did, you could lose your job and be treated as a societal outcast. Many people lost friends or even close family members to this monstrous ‘test’ of our willingness to unquestioningly do what we’re told.”

It has been nearly five years since COVID first appeared, and the WEF is finally fessing up to what many of us could see was the case all along: that COVID was simply an exercise in tyranny designed to traumatize the public and break down any remaining public willpower to fight back against the authoritarian police state.

“They wanted to find out how many of us would prove our servitude to the lawless, fascistic beast system by complying with ‘unimaginable restrictions,’ many of which were created out of thin air with absolutely no scientific evidence to back them up as contributing anything to public health,” Hohmann says.

The latest news about the globalist plan to force everyone except for themselves into “sustainable” 15-minute “smart” cities can be found at Collapse.news.

The Medieval Spread of Religion

Theodosius I (392-395) The Last Roman Emperor of East and West | About History

Episode 5 The Medieval Spread of Religion

The Middle Ages Around the World

Dr Joyce E Salisbury

Film Review

Christianity Becomes Rome’s State Religion and Splinters into Diverse Beliefs

In roughly 313 AD,* the emperor Constantine was the first to legalize the banned Christian religion in the Roman emperor. In 360 AD, the emperor Theodosius made it Rome’s official state religion. He also began calling period councils to decide what Christian’s should be required to believe. Around the same time, heresy (ie refusing to adhere to prescribed beliefs) became treason and  punishable by death. Heavy persecution of dissident Christians became a big factor in their conversion to Islam.

After the 451 Council of Chalcedon declared the virgin Mary gave birth to God, Nestorian monks who believed she gave birth to a child later became God broke away from the Catholic church (to found what came to be known as the Coptic Church) and set up monasteries to freely practice their beliefs in Egypt, Ethiopia and Aksum and to the Byzantine Empire and Asia. The Coptic church includes the Gospel of Thomas in their Bible.*

In the 8th century, the Byzantine patriarch in the eastern Roman empire ordered all destroyed all the images of Christ and the saints in Byzantine churches destroyed. Subsequent patriarchs compromised and allowed two dimensional images (known as icons). In 863 AD, two Byzantine monks undertook a mission to Russia to convert the Slavs and created an alphabet for them based on Greek.

In 1054, the Byzantine church official broke from, with the pope and the Byzantine patriarch excommunicating each other (only withdrawing these excommunication orders in 1955)

Hinduism

Hinduism is a 4,000 year old religion worshiping multiple gods, similar to Egyptian and Mesopotamian religions. It currently has a billion followers. It views time as cyclical rather than linear, based on reincarnation of individual souls. An individual Hindu’s ultimate goal is to escape reincarnation.

Buddhism

Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of the Buddhist religion was a Hindu prince who was troubled by all the poverty, suffering and death he saw around them. He preached four basic precepts:

  1. All life is suffering.
  2. The cause of suffering is carving and desire
  3. Eliminating desire can eliminate suffering
  4. Escaping attachments can end suffering.

After the Huns destroyed all the Buddhist temples in China in the 7th century, its adherents moved to China.

There are two major branches of Buddhism: Theravada Buddhism (a religion of monks who renounce society) and Mahayana Buddhism (practiced in China, Japan** and Korea), which believes some enlightened souls chose to return to earth to help others. With the Dalai Lama as the main representative of Mahayana Buddhism, it’s consistent with the ancestor worship central to Confucianism.


*The calendar measuring time from Christ’s birth wasn’t instituted until the 6th century.  The concept of BC or (before Christ) wasn’t adopted until the 8th century.

**The apostle Thomas traveled to India to build Christian churches following Christ’s resurrection.

***In Japan Mahayana Buddhism, which prescribes a way of life rather than a set of beliefs, is consistent with the primary religion Shintoism.

Scientists warn of risks of Blood Transfusions from COVID-19 Vaccinated people

Blood transfusion: Types, purpose, procedure, and recovery

The Expose

Japanese researchers have published a pre-print paper that warns about the risks associated with using blood from COVID-19-vaccinated people for blood transfusions and are calling on medical professionals to be aware of these risks.

Additionally, to avoid these risks and prevent further contamination of blood products and resulting complications, they are calling for the COVID-19 vaccination programmes to be suspended.

“The health injuries caused by genetic vaccination are already extremely serious, and it is high time that countries and relevant organisations take concrete steps together to identify the risks and to control and resolve them,” they said.

Many countries around the world have reported that so-called genetic vaccines – such as those using modified mRNA encoding the spike protein and lipid nanoparticles as the drug delivery system – have resulted in post-vaccination thrombosis and subsequent cardiovascular damage, as well as a wide variety of diseases involving all organs and systems, including the nervous system.

Based on these reports and the volume of evidence that has come to light, through their paper, the researchers are bringing to the attention of medical professionals the various risks associated with blood transfusions using blood products derived from people who have suffered from long covid and from genetic vaccine recipients, including those who have received mRNA vaccines.

However, “it should also be stressed that the issues discussed here are matters that pertain to all organ transplants, including bone marrow transplants, and not just blood products,” the researchers wrote.

Table 1 of the paper summarised the six major concerns identified by the researchers with the use of blood products derived from gene vaccine recipients.  We have copied the contents of Table 1 below.

1. Spike protein contamination

The spike protein, which is the antigen of SARS-CoV-2 and genetic vaccines, has already been found to have various toxicities, including effects on red blood cells and platelet aggregation, amyloid formation, and neurotoxicity. It is essential to recognise that the spike protein itself is toxic to humans. It has also been reported that the spike protein can cross the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, it is essential to remove the spike protein derived from the gene vaccine itself from blood products.

2. Contamination with amyloid aggregates and microthrombi formed by spike proteins

It is not yet clear how the amyloid aggregates and microthrombi formed by the spike proteins develop into visible thrombi. However, once formed, amyloid aggregates may not be readily cleared and therefore need to be removed from blood products. These amyloid aggregates have also been shown to be toxic.

3. Events attributable to decreased donor immune system and immune abnormalities due to immune imprinting or class switch to IgG4, etc. resulting from multiple doses of genetic vaccines

When the immune function of a donor is impaired by gene vaccination, there is a risk that the donor has some (subclinical) infectious disease or is infected with a pathogenic virus and has developed viremia or other conditions, even if the donor has no subjective symptoms. For this reason, healthcare professionals who perform surgical procedures, including blood sampling and organ transplantation, as well as using blood products, should manage the blood of genetic vaccine recipients with care to prevent infection through blood. It will also be necessary to inform all healthcare professionals of these risks.

4. Lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”) and pseudouridinated mRNA (mRNA vaccines only)

In the case of mRNA vaccines, LNPs and pseudouridinated mRNA may remain in the blood of recipients if blood is collected without a sufficient deferral period after gene vaccination. LNPs are highly inflammatory and have been found to be thrombogenic themselves, posing a risk to transfusion recipients. LNPs themselves have potent adjuvant activity and are at risk of inducing Adjuvant-Induced Autoimmune Syndrome (“ASIA syndrome”). An additional risk is that if the pseudouridinated mRNA is incorporated into the recipient’s blood while still packaged in LNPs, additional spike protein may be produced in the recipient’s body.

5. Contamination with aggregated red blood cells or platelets

The spike protein causes red blood cells and platelets to aggregate and therefore these aggregates will be carried into the recipient’s blood unless they are removed from the blood product.

6. Memory B cells producing IgG4 and IgG4 produced from them

Large amounts (serum concentration typically above 1.25–1.4 g/L) of non-inflammatory IgG4-positive plasma cells can cause chronic inflammation such as fibroinflammatory disease.

IgG4 is an antibody and is the acronym for immunoglobulin G4.  Earlier in the paper, the authors wrote that “long-term exposure to a specific identical antigen (in this case, spike protein) causes immunoglobulins to become IgG4 and some of the B cells [or lymphocytes] that produce them are likely to differentiate into memory B cells that survive in the body for a sustained period, the immune dysfunction of genetic vaccine recipients is expected to be prolonged (Table 1, point 3 & 6). More details on these points are expected to be revealed in the future.”

The researchers also make suggestions for specific tests, testing methods and regulations to deal with these risks.

In their conclusion, the authors wrote:

The impact of these genetic vaccines on blood products and the actual damage caused by them are unknown at present. Therefore, in order to avoid these risks and prevent further expansion of blood contamination and complication of the situation, we strongly request that the vaccination campaign using genetic vaccines be suspended and that a harm–benefit assessment be carried out as early as possible.

As we have repeatedly stated, the health injuries caused by genetic vaccination are already extremely serious, and it is high time that countries and relevant organisations take concrete steps together to identify the risks and to control and resolve them.

The Oswald Vibe

By CDMStaff

 This time, the shooter lives to do some ‘splainin’. Do you wonder if he might get around to ‘splainin’ his role with the shady non-governmental orgs (NGOs) supported by the CIA who enabled his travels to Ukraine and his efforts there recruiting global mutts to fight for the Nazi-ish Azov Battalion? Perhaps he might rat-out actual government officials who assisted him in his colorful misadventures? As Ed Snowden remarked on “X”, wannabe Trump assassin Ryan Routh has “something of an Oswald vibe” — meaning, well-groomed by the intel boys, to be used as required.

Perhaps we’ll find out — if nothing fatal happens to befall Mr. Routh while in custody — how exactly he learned Mr. Trump would be on the links that afternoon? The candidate’s round of golf that day was supposedly a snap decision known only amongst his innermost circle. Or how did Mr. Routh figure out the most advantageous fairway to lay at for a clear shot? The FBI is on the case, you may be reassured to know.

Things political are speeding up with the autumnal quickening. The blob is truly and deeply a’fright. So many blobsters will be liable to pay for their multitudinous crimes against the people of this country if Mr. Trump squeaks back into power that such a future is unthinkable to them. And yet, nothing has worked to deactivate this. . . this golden golem stalking the land. Nothing to show for the immense catalog of lawfare cases concocted to drain his wealth and stuff him into a prison cell — and astounding how amateurish they all were! Engoron and Merchan, two boobies hatched out of Judicial Error Central. Fani Willis, a walking-talking banana peel! Merrick Garland, saving democracy one abuse of power at a time!

The Butler, PA, head-shot op came awfully close to eliminating their, uh, problem, but no cigar. The Palm Beach golf course ambush had a Peter Sellers vibe, wouldn’t you agree? With the rifle muzzle poking through the shrubbery behind a fence. What next? A pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and cyanide? Maybe try to drop an anvil on Mr. Trump’s head from a passing airplane? (Beep-beep. . . woosh!)

[…]

How did they even get “Joe Biden” off the beach for that photo op? It is understood by everyone over ten-years-old in America that “JB” is not available for duty anymore. The “out-to-lunch” sign hangs permanently on the doorknob of the Oval Office now. The USA does not have a functioning chief-of-state for the first time in 235 years. After 2021, some sort of unelected, informal Politburu that self-assembled in the White House, like a clot from a Covid Vaccine shot, is running our affairs. Maybe Kamala Harris has a clue who is in that outfit. Or somebody in the news median could ask her (if she ever gets around to holding an actual news conference, where the questions are not previewed or scripted.) Anyone dare ask?

Kamala Harris is strangely missing from the front page of The New York Times this morning. Is that a little ominous? The debate is behind her. There will not be another, apparently. There is nothing about her schedule on the official campaign website. Has she entered fade-away mode? Is it all over now except for the ballot harvesting and the, uh, little adjustments to the Dominion vote-counting machines?
