Relax for a few minutes, sit back and pretend morals and business ethics are redundant. Then imagine an infallible, risk-free business scheme in which you get to create the market, decide the product, manage its regulation, then have the power to confine people to their homes or remove their income until they submit to buying it. And no one can sue you or take you to court if it all goes wrong.
No legitimate government would allow that within its borders (except perhaps a few family-run or completely totalitarian ones), so aim higher and make this international, as it then ceases to be fantasy. All this is being negotiated within the WHO pandemic documents to be agreed by your Government in two months’ time.
So, imagine:
- Your organisation will be a public-private partnership, so using taxpayer money but guided by the private sector.
- You spin a story that a series of plagues are about to engulf humanity, exponentially increasing in frequency and severity (your partners control large swathes of the media, so don’t be troubled by reality).
- Then use public money to set up a surveillance network guaranteed to find virus variants (i.e., go and find nature, you can’t miss it).
- Governments have agreed ahead of time to give you power to control healthcare policy when you decide these variants pose a threat (not harm, just a threat). They have agreed that this includes border closures, restrictions on daily life of their citizens and of course mandated vaccination (in return for them ‘getting freedom back’).
- Then transfer these virus variants to laboratories and pharmaceutical companies of your choice (your friends and supporters, who will in return give your organisation some money).
- The pharmaceutical companies are ready: they have been receiving free billions from taxpayers annually under the same scheme to keep their production lines ready to profit from the market you are about to create.
- Your pharma-investor sponsors also sponsor disease modellers willing to produce the most fantastic death figures to shore up public compliance.
- You then use your powers to impose these lockdowns and insist that a 100-day vaccine must be rushed out to save hapless humanity and allow a return to an “inter-pandemic” period.
- Once your chosen companies rush out the vaccine, you get to control the regulatory bit (more money changes hands), bypassing pesky safety trials and those interminable ethics reviews.
- All the while, you can note any dissenting opinions that may reduce your market size; your governmental partners having already agreed to deal with them.
- Once you have the profit flowing, you get to decide when the profiteering can stop (think ‘respiratory virus vaccine’ and more sponsored modelling – rapid waning of efficacy so lots of boosters to keep humanity safe).
- All the while, you have ensured freedom from liability for your pharma partners and your own regulatory process.
- You, of course, have no liability either – you are above any national jurisdiction. You don’t even have to pay tax to anyone!
Dream on. You only get to do this if you are in the WHO or the international pandemic set, and member states pass the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the new Pandemic Agreement at the World Health Assembly this May. For this is exactly what they are proposing.
It amounts to perhaps the most infallible wealth concentration scheme in history. The general model proved itself during COVID-19, orchestrating the largest wealth transfer on a global scale from poor to rich the world has seen. Rather than fiddling around with sanitation, nutrition and the endemic infections that kill people, international public health is now concentrated on hypothetical but far more profitable stuff like Disease X (the next pandemic), amply guided by the corporatists it will benefit.
The last big natural pandemic, the Spanish Flu, occurred over a century ago in the pre-antibiotic era. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is widely thought to have arisen from just the sort of research being promoted within these WHO pandemic initiatives; the WHO now proposes to increase sharing of viruses considered to be high-risk among laboratories that it oversees.
This is the same WHO that concluded COVID-19 did not transmit from human to human, and may have come from frozen fish rather than the Wuhan Institute of Virology just down the road. It suggested this after sending its team, including a senior scientist involved in funding coronavirus researchers at that same institute, to investigate the problem. Since then, whilst insisting that “misinformation” kills, WHO has been systematically misinforming the public and their governments regarding the future risk from natural outbreaks.
What is the WHO?
The WHO is an organisation that receives roughly a quarter of its funding from the pharmaceutical industry and major pharmaceutical investors. These same sponsors have profited greatly from the COVID-19 response and are strongly aligned with the WHO’s current pandemic preparation and response proposals. The largest country-based funders are the USA and Germany, also heavily invested in Pharma. German public money backed BioNtech, the developer of the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine.
Most of the WHO’s funding is ‘specified,’ meaning that it does what the funder specifies. The WHO has now become a tool of vested interests for much of its work. Approximately 75% of its total funding works this way. This is a completely different type of organisation than the WHO of 75 years ago. When originally set up, its budget was based on ‘core’ funding from countries, and the WHO decided its priorities based on disease burden and country requests.
The WHO does not come under any national legal jurisdiction. Senior WHO staff have diplomatic immunity. The organisation is highly hierarchical, with a military-like structure that tightly controls outputs and messaging. Staff have tax-free salaries and benefits such as an education allowance until their children are adults, health insurance, living allowances, and they travel business class on longer trips. After retiring on a generous pension scheme, former staff commonly supplement this through consultancies arranged by their friends still within the organisation. Its largest office is in Geneva, Switzerland, one of the most expensive cities on earth.
How Will the New Outbreak Business be Developed?
The proposed legally binding Pandemic Agreement and IHR amendments are designed to work together. Having two parallel documents has allowed the WHO Director-General to repeatedly claim that the Pandemic Agreement does not hand any power to the WHO, and anyone who says so is a liar and conspiracy theorist. A group of former country leaders and public health people debased themselves recently by publishing a letter saying the same. The clauses that they say don’t exist in the Pandemic Agreement do exist, of course, in the proposed IHR amendments. The Pandemic Agreement says the two documents are compatible (Article 26. 2).
If you think this is all fanciful and such powers would only be used in dire circumstances, recall that the WHO Director-General declared “Mpox” (monkeypox) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (the future trigger for this process). This was declared after just five deaths, with transmission essentially restricted to a small demographic, against the advice of his own advisory committee.
Remember also that COVID-19 was rarely fatal beyond the elderly and very sick, and the CDC showed the Covid vaccines were less effective than natural immunity. This did not stop the WHO running the COVAX campaign to vaccinate 75% of Africans in the knowledge that 50% of this population was under 20 years of age, less than 1% over 75 years, and the vast majority had immunity to COVID-19. The vaccines were also aimed against variants that were already rare or extinct.
The vaccines that the WHO will mandate are planned to include mRNA vaccines produced within 100 days by CEPI. mRNA vaccines are modified genetic material (the mRNA is changed to persist longer than our own mRNA) in a lipid envelope. Biodistribution studies from Pfizer/BioNTech indicate that they are expected to concentrate in the ovaries, adrenal glands, liver and spleen as well as the injection site, and are also distributed throughout the body including the nervous system. After entering cells, these cells produce the foreign protein coded by the mRNA, which is then expressed on the surface of the cell and circulates within the body. The body then mounts an immune response to this protein, killing the cells that express it and causing local inflammation, also creating a low-level inflammatory response. This is how mRNA vaccines work.
CEPI, a key player running the rushed vaccine effort, is a public-private partnership set up at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2017 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (a major pharmaceutical investor), the Wellcome Trust and a number of countries. CEPI was specifically set up to make vaccines and similar products for pandemics at a time when the world had gone 100 years without one – the last major pandemic having been the pre-antibiotic era Spanish flu.
Why it Can Work
Money, in large amounts, is really good for helping people to understand that wrong might be better than right. It also helps those who don’t care at all about right or truth to rise to the top despite their obvious unfitness. It allows the media to survive if they please these sponsors, and it can help country delegates to find more important priorities than the good of their own people. During COVID-19, the industry pushing the new WHO initiatives made an unprecedented amount of money, so the pandemic agenda has lots of momentum.
Thousands of well-paid staff are already becoming dependent on this scheme within the WHO, other public-private partnerships and the research and ‘humanitarian’ industries. They have mortgages, healthcare costs, education and travel benefits to maintain. This is largely why, despite being able to work out that this massive resource diversion will increase poverty, reduce life expectancy and abrogate public health ethics, they find themselves able to support it.
For most of the rest of humanity – those not heavily invested in pharma or modelling software and those concerned about human rights – the future does not look so rosy. We are supposed to provide the money that ends up in the hands of the people running it all. That is how profiteering works. So we will have to put things right, because they obviously won’t. Now that it is all written out for us in the WHO documents and we are aware of the money transfers of the past few years, we no longer have any excuse to ignore it.

What massacre that will be remembered in infamy and shame happened in Gaza yesterday but is absent in this news roundup, I wonder?
I’m sure George Galloway will draw your attention to it. Congratulations, George.

Crikey, it’s Galloway. Mental. ( 2mins )
https://twitter.com/blazey2004/status/1763398420650221638
Note that the majority didn’t vote at all, so he acquired his majority from the minority – a bit like most local government elections in the UK. Goes to show what you can end up with if you don’t vote.
It is what happens when newer parties are suppressed. The results at future general elections might bring forth much worse people than Galloway and in numbers.
Well this guy was 100% prescient, I mean, didn’t see this coming did we..? <sarc>
”There was no massacre of Palestinians in Gaza today.
You’ll be hearing that there was. It’s propaganda. Palestinians trampled each other as they fought for the aid that the IDF sent in knowing that Hamas was going to steal it like they have stolen all aid.
Hundreds of Palestinians were trampled to death and many others injured.
In parallel, a Palestinian mob tried to attack IDF forces who proceeded to shoot warning shots in the air and when the mob didn’t stop, the IDF fired at their legs.
As I said, no massacre in Gaza. When the propaganda starts populating your feeds, just know that it is 100% false.
You’ll be hearing about this fabricated massacre across all mainstream media in 3…2…
Here is footage of the Palestinian mob trying to steal aid and trampling each other.
Don’t believe the lies that are being fed to the media directly from Hamas.”

Excellent work, fear that you are wasting your time with the jew haters mind.
Massacre reported by Hamas. Well, that is an area of expertise for them, sure.
Oh I’m not trying to convince anyone or change minds, least of all their’s. I am, however, happy to always call out disgraceful human beings that have a disgusting attitude though. Which is what anybody supporting terrorism and sympathising with rapists is, in my book, and I in no way think that’s a radical viewpoint. And as you’ve probably gleaned, I’m also not here for the ‘likes’.

“The most terrifying thing about Putin is not that he’s delusional, but that he might be right”
If you want an alternative view, the Global times comment is here;
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202402/1307941.shtml
I am no advocate for the Global Times but I always think it does give a feel for the the view of world affairs that is being put out to a large section of the world’s population.
The most terrifying thing about Putin is not that he’s delusional, but that he might be right
Of course he’s right.
What will Europe do when, by incorporating Ukraine, Moldova into the Russian ‘Union State’ which already includes Belarus, Putin encircles the Baltic States?
You’re already looking at it………
As a consequence, in due course, in response to such a Russian ‘Union State’ with Baltic States encircled and subverted, Germany, under a government of an entirely different complexion (and Poland), may very well decide to acquire nuclear weapons.
To every action, there is a reaction……
Quite so. We talk with leaders of many states we do not approve off. We should have been talking to Putin years ago, rather than thinking in our ignorance all we were engaging in was Cold War II.
Similarly Assad. The last secular state in the Middle East. The “Civil” war no such thing, rather his constant war with terrorists. Indeed, his father’s notorious massacre in Homs involved wiping out a Muslim Brotherhood enclave there. As anyone who has investigated the MB, they are the fons origo of Islamic terrorism. Wiping them out in your country – well,hell, shit happens when you are terrorists.
The West has been funding and supporting terrorists in Syria. Before 2011, its GDP was growing faster than our, and they had a growing middle class. Assad very popular. How do I know? My stepdaughter lived in Damascus with Syrian families for six months before the problems. It would have been in OUR best interest to side with Assad, not go for him. Not to mention all those people, such as the shitshow Obama, who were going to deal with him… all gone. Assad ain’t.
And that “gassing” accusation. Do some research. It’s all out there. Not to mention that the only chlorine factory IN Syria was in the hands of the revels.
In my view, the real problem with Putin began with Kosovo and the humiliation of the Russians, particularly those lunatics who took control of Pristina airport, pointless because it would have been impossible to transfer a Russian division and even a battalion by air to Pristina since Yugoslavia was surrounded from all sides by NATO countries; total air supremacy of NATO aviation.
The Clinton/Blair Kosovo idiocy (a deal could and should have resulted from Rambouillet) set a precedent, which, as I and many others pointed out at the time, would come back and bite the West in the backside, as it has now on three separate occasions.
With regard to Assad, it is difficult, I think, to argue that he has governed Syria in the best interests of all the Syrian people. Of course he has his supporters.
Regarding chemical weapons, here’s the research:
‘3……..On the basis of all the information obtained and its analysis, the (Investigation and Identification Team) IIT concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, between 19:10 and 19:40 (UTC+3) on 7 April 2018, during a major military offensive aimed at regaining control of the city of Douma, at least one Mi-8/17 helicopter of the Syrian Arab Air Force, departing from Dumayr airbase and operating under the control of the Tiger Forces, dropped two yellow cylinders which hit two residential buildings in a central area of the city.
4. At Location 2,1 the cylinder hit the rooftop floor of a three-storey residential building without fully penetrating it, ruptured, and rapidly released toxic gas—chlorine—in very high concentrations, which rapidly dispersed within the building, killing 43 named individuals and affecting dozens more.
5. At Location 4,1 the cylinder hit the roof of a three-storey residential building (at the time uninhabited), and broke into the apartment below. The cylinder ruptured only partially, and started to slowly release chlorine, mildly affecting those who first arrived at the scene.
6. The IIT reached its conclusions on the basis of the degree of certainty of “reasonable grounds”, which is the standard of proof consistently adopted by international fact-finding bodies and commissions of inquiry…..’

‘Videos of barrel bomb remnants found after the attacks on Keferzita on April 11 and 18 and the attack on Telmans on April 21 show yellow cylinders or canisters together with remnants of barrel bombs. The canisters contain markings with the code “CL2” – the symbol for chlorine gas – and “NORINCO,” indicating that the cylinders were manufactured in China by the state-owned company NORINCO. Yellow is the standard industrial gas color code for chlorine.’

“international fact-finding bodies and commissions of inquiry…..’”
Sadly, all international bodies are now beyond hope. The UN was set up with the best of intentions; it is now a disaster, especially on Human Rights. Similarly the WHO, which did excellent work in the past, but is now a danger to us all. Their handling of Covid was as bad as can be. Maybe that China and the philanthropath Gates are their main drivers has something to do with that.
All too true.
Israel or Palestine? Let’s see how many different things we can conflate, and see how many people are dumb enough to commit their heart and soul to one teams propaganda. The mindf*ck of Covid and Russia-Ukraine – and heaven knows what else before all that – has left a few defiant stragglers, but Israel vs Palestine has bought the minds of the few who remained. What a disappointing lot we are.
About 72% of the votes in Rochdale were postal votes. Draw your own conclusions.
Speculation, but as a postal voter myself (nowhere near Rochdale) I’m familiar with it. Established parties have long encouraged known supporters to opt for it, as it usually results in them actually voting (hopefully for them). My hunch re all the recent by-elections is that the real majority don’t approve of the system at all at present, and don’t give a s**t.
Isn’t it still the case that postal votes are for those who, for health reasons etc, cannot physically get to a polling station?
No
They are available on demand. Another Blair change for the worse whiuch the Tories have not wanted to change.
And they are encouraged by organised groups, of any of the major ones with reasonable canvassing records to the effect that they are likely to vote for them. Incidentally, that would be a reason why the postal turnouts are proportionally higher than on the day turnouts at the polling station in elections with low turnouts, like the recent by-elections. When I vote on the PV, I usually do it around 10 days early, depending on the delivery by the local Council that manages it. When you are on it, you are not allowed to vote at polling stations. They are reliant on the Royal Mail to some extent as well. I guess if they on strike you can deliver by hand to the Council, but that would probably drive down the turnout if it happens.
“Downing Street has told police to list offenders, such as ‘cat killer’ murderer Scarlet Blake, as male unless they have legally changed gender, reports the Telegraph”
I thought the reason for the costly charade of Police and Crime Commissioners was to introduce a degree of public accountability into policing. And since when did “Number 10” have the power to issue decrees like the French President?

The Arab League’s statement at the ICJ case regarding the Israel/Palestine occupation. Blistering.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LACse017-A
Can’t be bothered to watch it, but one question – does it mention Hamas breach of the Geneva Convention, and the consequences of them doing so? The Arab League – well, read on…
“To quote the words of the then Secretary-General of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, describing the war aims of the five Arab States whose armies invaded Israel the day after its birth on May 14, 1948: ‘This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.’ In the process of trying to achieve this terrible objective, they created the Palestinian refugee problem by telling the Arab population within Israel to leave their homes temporarily so as not to get in the way of the invaders.”

Until Israel wipes out Hamas and its supporters – i.e. those who voted them into power, then Israel cannot be safe. As it was for Jews when we wiped out the Nazis. Hamas are Islam’s Nazis; indeed, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, during WWII, met with Hitler to plan a Middle East Holocaust. Which is just what Hamas wants.
Let’s get real eh?
Extraordinary speech. Sadly, the US will ignore every word of it.
“News presenter Clive Myrie has said he dislikes the term ‘impartial’ and does not believe the BBC must provide balance on every topic, according to the Telegraph.”
Well they don’t anyway, so what’s Myrie on about?
Providing balance and being impartial is impossible. The only solution is to privatise/scrap the BBC and stop pretending it can be impartial.
