Professor Ivan Katchanovski, as you may recall, is the Ukrainian-Canadian academic who’s done all the work on Maidan massacre. Briefly, he argues that the massacre of police and protestors on the Maidan Square in February of 2014 was a false flag operation carried out by the Ukrainian far-right.
To date, Katchanovski has published one paper on the massacre in an academic journal and another in an academic book. He has also presented his work at academic conferences. However, the professor’s latest and most detailed study remains unpublished.
This was about to change, Katchanovski thought in November, when it was accepted for publication at an academic journal. Indeed, the paper was accepted “after minor revision” – which means the reviewers didn’t recommend any fundamental changes.
Yet about ten days later, Katchanovski received an email from the journal informing him that the paper had been rejected – without any further peer review.
Needless to say, this is highly irregular. Once a paper has been accepted, that’s it; there’s no final stage of submission where it can be rejected after having already been accepted.
In fact, the editor was very complimentary. Upon accepting the paper for publication, he (or she) said, “There is no doubt that this paper is exceptional in many ways.” He went on to describe “the evidence” as “solid”, adding that “on this” there is “consensus among the two reviewers”. In other words, both reviewers and the editor found the empirical part convincing.
We know the initial acceptance wasn’t a clerical error. The editor explicitly stated in his message of November 2nd that “I would rather side with referee 2 and suggest that the article is acceptable for publication”, pending some minor changes.
As Katchanovski noted in a Twitter thread, he tried to appeal the decision by soliciting support from a “world-famous scholar”, who described the paper as “very important, rigorous and substantial”. But his efforts were unsuccessful.
Remarkably, the editor then wrote to the journal demanding to know why the paper had been rejected “despite the review and editorial decision in support of publication”. He noted that it was “excellent according to both reviewers”. This suggests that other members of the journal’s editorial board overruled his prior decision.
Katchanovski’s studies are already available for free online, and have been read thousands of times. The only benefit of publishing them in a journal (aside from small improvements thanks to peer reviewers) is to give the papers ‘legitimacy’. Until they’re published in a journal, critics can dismiss them as ‘not peer reviewed’ (even though many of the claims are based on publicly available videos).
What’s absurd about this incident is that the paper did pass peer review; it just got rejected anyway.

Hmm. Can any administration actually do that under the USA constitution?
No chance. Not unless he packs the Supreme Court.
I, and I am sure most on here knew this was on the way. There is nothing more certain than a new “pandemic” being found as soon as this is all signed up. The primary purpose behind this is depopulation. Control naturally falls alongside but only so that the depopulation can be proceeded with more efficiently.
The legal aspects will certainly be convoluted. I firmly believe this will breech UK Sovereignty although doubtless Fishy and his team of WEF stooges will have prepared some legislation aimed at swerving said Sovereignty. However, there is no question that there is absolutely nothing about the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty that would count as binding. Laws both national and international are flouted regularly so there is no requirement to pander to bad laws. Actually are bad laws really ever laws?
The Davos Deviants have been running amok for years and a brutal fightback is now required.
This year is destined to become pretty damned ugly.
Damn right. Comes as zero surprise. The EU will be next. Absolute bunch of psychopathic, corrupt crooks.
I wouldn’t argue that there aren’t plenty of sociopaths in high positions of power.
However, I don’t think all this happens because of evil people. To me it’s a structural problem.
You have a system of governance and administration that doesn’t really work for the interest of ordinary people. It works for powerful interest groups. And the incentives for the people within the system are not aligned with interests of ordinary people.
Powerful interest groups are far better are incentivising the politicians and bureaucrats than ordinary people. And so much power has now been concentrated within government and the bureaucracy that all the incentives are in place for interest groups to do all they can to capture the system.
Basically, I think the system is completely screwed.
I’m not saying the people aren’t arseholes. But without the power to wield they’d just be arseholes to those around them. It’s the power these bureaucrats have that make them so dangerous.
It’s all so F- in obvious !!…
So true. And they always telegraph their intentions in advance.
The following is a small selection of what can only be described as malevolence:
“The objective, clearly enunciated by the leaders of UNCED, is to bring about a change in the present system of independent nations.

There is more and it’s all been festering for decades:
“Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it” Amory Lovins Scientist, Rocky Mountain Institute
“We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth.

This Malthusian miasma is a classic example of Poe’s Law.
Telegraphing their intentions again, as usual. We need to pay attention!
Horrifying. The last paragraph is beyond belief. Who are these monsters?
Basically Nazis taking over the world. Everyone else is a “psuedo Jew” to be eliminated.
I would argue it’s Marxism, but either way Nazis and Communists are siblings. The parent is top down collectivism. The Grand Parents are all the ancient Assyrian style empires. The modern open society is not only vulnerable to corruption, but is primarily a threat to the collectivist, because the autonomous individual freely associating and spontaneously cooperating renders the top down collectivist irrelevant. Or perhaps this?
“The world of tomorrow will witness a tremendous battle between technology and psychology. It will be a fight of technology versus nature, of systematic conditioning versus creative spontaneity.” – Joos Meerloo
Hux you save me having to write stuff
can you read my mind , spot on as usual 
And lemme guess, the next plandemic will be….wait for it…BIRD FLU!
I mean, they already telegraphed their intentions. As they always seem to do. People just need to pay closer attention (hard, I know, given how most Americans have shorter attention spans than a goldfish).
The only hope I have for humanity is that the hard-earned cynicism from the past three years will be a bulwark against them fooling us again.
The next pandemic has already been war-gamed and is planned for 2025. This one will, apparently, be particularly dangerous for young people.
Medical fascism has finally arrived…scary times ahead!
Out-sourcing ones inalienable rights, such as bodily autonomy, could never be constitutional in any jurisdiction.
If you think government is there to represent the best interest of the population, then this obviously makes no sense.
But if you know that “the people” are little more than a feeble voice in the corridors of government power and really the people who shape and influence government policy are organisations, especially large corporations, then this makes perfect sense.
US pharma companies are at the forefront of all the WHO pandemic planning and the principal beneficiaries of WHO centralised control. This is perfect for them. They don’t have to go government to government lobbying and pushing their products. They tie all the government strings to the WHO and pull them all from there in one go.
The US government is an influential voice. So they’ll lobby hard for the US government to support it and get momentum for all other nations to do it.
Pharma companies don’t give a toss about national sovereignty. The opposite, national sovereignty is a nuissence to them.
That’s not going to work at the state level.
Red states will simply ignore this.
The problem is the crappy wet pollytishans haven’t the balls to take responsibility for another Panic Demic
So the best plan is to outsource the responsibility to the hopeless/hapless WHO
There hasn’t been a “panic demic.’ The last three years have all been carefully contrived.
Indeed, it is a PLANDEMIC.
Why?
Could it be that in fact the good old USA is controlling the WHO & using this new supposed deal for more of their own nefarious manoeuvres, my theory is that nothing in this world gets past the CIA !..
Legally, it’s gonna be murky.
DeSantis has already proposed laws to prohibit just that becoming possible in Florida.
If he becomes POTUS in 24, it’s gonna be history again anyway in the US.
The real question is: How and why can ANY allegedly democratic nation seriously discuss, let alone sign up to this?
First and foremost British ‘It’ s all about sovereignty, mate!’ Brexiters?!
This treaty puts dictatorial powers into a foreign body’s and even just 1 person’s hand.
It is as such even more authoritarian than Hitler’s enabling act of 1933 and also outright treasonous.
And we can probably count on Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota as well to oppose this.
Not sure about any other governors. But most blue governors will cheer it on, while even most red governors will roll over and play dead.
Wow, this one of the scariest things I have read in a long time, and that really says something! How can this possibly legal, unless the US Constitution is effectively a dead letter?
How is this not treason?
With due deference to the Bulley family at this sad time. Our wonderful police couldnt find a body a mile away from an incident so asking the Keystone Cops to police WHO polices is frankly risible
I have written to my MP to highlight this issue.
If I am correct these WHO amendments only need a majority vote to pass. It will bypass Parliament and means an end to countries’ sovereignty in terms of health decisions.
I wrote to my Tory MP a few months ago about this issue. He is supportive of the initiative denying there will be any loss of national health sovereignty by signing up to the WHO ‘treaty’. We know he is lying, he knows he is lying and he knows he can rely on the Party to lie too.
This is WAR!
These hopeless clods just folded in the face of China’s non- co operation with the investigation into the origins of the SARS Cov virus. (No doubt agreed in advance)
Hopefully their record of ineptitude will put paid to any notion of a centralised medical authority for the whole world with them at the head.
I’m trying to suppress the sinking feeling that this is exactly the qualification required for the job. That, and a commitment to rubber stamp the mandate for whatever brew Pfizer churn out.
This is the BIG ONE ! If the the western world traitors get this through , The George Orwell Boot will be firmly treading on Humanity’s collective face !
This is beyond EVIL.
One more step towards the ‘utopian’ one world govt?
Globalists are handing away every bit of freedom we have to unelected unaccountable bureaucracies. Everything from climate to covid is to be controlled by the global government in waiting at the UN/WEF ———We may still be allowed some small freedoms like maybe cutting our own toenails. ——-Wake up people you are being played.
