A “retired” federal agent “regularly communicated” with accused Buffalo gunman Payton Gendron in an online chatroom on Discord and authorities are investigating whether he had advanced knowledge of the attack, according to a report from The Buffalo News.

Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist’s plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News.
Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said.
The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before Gendron killed 10 people at Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue on May 14.
The News could not determine if the retired agent accepted the invitation.
“These were like-minded people who used this chat group to talk about their shared interests in racial hatred, replacement theory and hatred of anyone who is Jewish, a person of color or not of European ancestry,” said one of the two law enforcement officials with close knowledge of the investigation. “What is especially upsetting is that these six people received advanced notice of the Buffalo shooting, about 30 minutes before it happened.
“The FBI has verified that none of these people called law enforcement to warn them about the shooting. The FBI database shows no advance tips from anyone that this shooting was about to happen.”
Agents from the FBI are in the process of tracking down and interviewing the six people, including the retired agent, and attempting to determine if any of them should be charged as accomplices, the two sources with close knowledge of the probe told The Buffalo News.
The two sources did not identify the agent by name and could not confirm what federal agency he worked for.
The Buffalo FBI Office declined to comment on the investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Buffalo declined through a spokeswoman to comment.
[…] The New York Times reported May 17 that Gendron invited a small group of people into a private chat room on the messaging platform Discord to review his plan about 30 minutes before the massacre at Tops. The Washington Post reported two days later that 15 people accepted Gendron’s invitation into the Discord chat room and were able to review his plan and watch his live stream video as he committed the killings.
Federal authorities are investigating if the retired agent provided information to Gendron before he went on his shooting spree, the two law enforcement officials told The News.
In addition to law enforcement sources, two other individuals with knowledge of the mass shooting investigation have also confirmed that federal authorities are looking into the former agent’s relationship to the shooter.
Another anonymous member of the Discord chat group counseled him on what gun to buy:
FBI agents are also trying to determine the identity of an individual Gendron calls “Sandman,” and “Saint Sandman” in his lengthy social media diary that appeared on Discord 30 minutes before the attack, the sources said.
In the diary, Gendron indicates Sandman counseled him on manufacturers of AR-15 semi-automatic rifles and their quality. The shooter purchased and allegedly used that type of assault rifle in the rampage, which local authorities have said was fueled by his racial hatred.p
The mother who bravely rescued her own children during the Uvalde mass shooting finally spoke out about the lack of police response to the deadly school massacre.
Angeli Gomez, a mother of two children at Robb Elementary School, explained on Thursday how she was handcuffed by U.S. Marshalls for attempting to rush the school.
“Right away, as soon as I parked my car, US Marshals started coming towards my car saying I wasn’t allowed to be parked there,” Gomez told CBS News. “He said, ‘We’re going to have to arrest you because you’re being very uncooperative,’ and I said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to arrest me because I’m going in there, and I’m telling you right now — I don’t see none of y’all in there.’”
“I told one of the officers, ‘I don’t need you to protect me. Get away from me. I don’t need your protection. If anything, I need you to go in with me to go protect my kids,’” she said.
Gomez said the police were too busy corralling the parents outside the school to bother with actually neutralizing the shooter and protecting the children.
“Nothing was being done,” Gomez said. “If anything, [law enforcement] were being more aggressive on us parents that were willing to go in there.”
Gomez explained that while in the school, she didn’t see “one officer” inside the building while “gunshots were still active.”
“They were not in there. There was no one in there,” she said.
“They could have saved many more lives. They could have gone into the classroom and maybe two or three would have been gone but they could have saved the whole, more, the whole class,” she continued. “They could have done something, gone through the window, sniped him through the window. Something, but nothing was being done.”
Additionally, Gomez was told by “someone in law enforcement” that if “she kept talking to the media and sharing her story she might face some kind of violation for obstruction of justice,” CBS News reported.
Gomez’s remarks come as the Uvalde Police Department is reportedly no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety’s investigation into the shooting in the wake a DPS spokesman claiming the police’s 75-minute delayed response was “the wrong decision.”
High-level Democrat operative Hillary Clinton set her sights on the Second Amendment Friday, remarking Americans should be barred from owning AR-15 rifles.
Echoing Joe Biden’s and other liberals’ calls for restrictions on so-called “assault weapons,” Clinton posted a tweet claiming, “No one actually needs an AR-15.”
The former secretary of state’s anti-gun opinion came on the heels of a speech by Biden unveiling new gun control proposals in the wake of the mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school.
During an impromptu address Thursday evening, Biden outlined an eight-part initiative to rid the US of pesky “assault weapons” like AR-15s and AK-47s and “high capacity magazines” that hold more than 10 rounds, and also proposed raising the age of rifle and AR-15 ownership to 21.
Biden is already talking about a full-on “assault weapons” ban
Despite attempting to circumvent the Second Amendment, Biden assured Americans: “I want to be very clear, this is not about taking away anyone’s guns.”
“I respect the culture, tradition, the concerns of lawful gun owners,” he added.
Clinton expressed similar sentiments demonizing firearms and American ownership during a Democrat debate in December 2015, where – while surrounded by armed Secret Service agents – she claimed, “Guns, in and of themselves, in my opinion, will not make Americans safer. We lose 33,000 a people a year to gun violence, arming more people–to do what?–I think it’s not the appropriate response to terrorism.”
President Donald Trump responded to Clinton’s anti-gun comments on Facebook, saying, “Hillary said that guns don’t keep you safe. If she really believes that she should demand that her heavily armed bodyguards quickly disarm!”
When one talks about the “global elite”, one usually refers to a small group of wealthy and powerful individuals who operate beyond national borders. Through various organizations, these non-elected individuals gather in semi-secrecy to decide policies they want to see applied on a global level.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is smack dab in the middle of it all. Indeed, through its annual Davos meetings, the WEF attempts to legitimize and normalize its influence on the world’s democratic nations by having a panel of world leaders attending and speaking at the event.
A simple look at the list of attendees at these meetings reveals the organization’s incredible reach and influence. The biggest names in media, politics, business, science, technology, and finance are represented at the WEF.
According to mass media, the Davos meetings gather people to discuss issues such as “inequality, climate change, and international cooperation”. This simplistic description appears to be custom-made to cause the average citizen to yawn in boredom. But topics at the WEF go much further than “inequality”.
Throughout the years, people at the WEF have said some highly disturbing things, none of which garnered proper media attention. In fact, when one pieces together the topics championed by the WEF, an overarching theme emerges: The total control of humanity using media, science, and technology while reshaping democracies to form a global government.
If this sounds like a far-fetched conspiracy theory, keep reading. Here are the 10 most dystopian things that are being pushed by the WEF right now. This list sorted is in no particular order. Because they’re all equally crazy.
#10 Penetrating Governments
The least one can say is that Klaus Schwab, the founder and the head of the WEF is not a fan of democracy. In fact, he perceives it as an obstacle to a fully globalized world.
In the 2010 WEF report titled “Global Redesign”, Schwab postulates that a globalized world is best managed by a “self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments (including through the UN system), and select civil society organizations (CSOs)”. This is the exact opposite of a democracy.
He argued that governments are no longer “the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage” and that “the time has come for a new stakeholder paradigm of international governance”. For this reason, the Transnational Institute (TNI)described the WEF as “a silent global coup d’état” to capture governance.
In 2017, at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, Schwab blatantly admitted what is continually dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” by mass media: The WEF is “penetrating” governments around the world.
“Klaus Schwab in 2017: “What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders… Like Trudeau”
This has been DECADES in the making and finally they had all their puppets in place to strike!” pic.twitter.com/vihAi4H1Qx
“I have to say, when I mention now names, like Mrs. (Angela) Merkel and even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister [Justin] Trudeau, the President of Argentina and so on.
We penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. (…) It’s true in Argentina and it’s true in France, with the President – a Young Global Leader.”
In this outstanding talk, Schwab blatantly stated that Angela Merkel of Germany, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Emmanuel Macron of France were “groomed” by the WEF. He even adds that at least half of Canada’s cabinet consists of representatives sold to the WEF’s agenda. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is the absolute truth, confirmed by the head of the WEF himself.
#9 Controlling Minds Using Sound Waves
In 2018, one of the topics of discussion at the WEF was “Mind Control Using Sound Waves” (read my full article about it here). I did not alter this title for sensationalism, those are exactly the words used by the WEF.
In the article, the technology is touted as a possible treatment for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. However, the article also states that “it can cure you, it can get you addicted, and it can kill you”. It can also be used to completely control a person’s mind, remotely. The article states:
“I can see the day coming where a scientist will be able to control what a person sees in their mind’s eye, by sending the right waves to the right place in their brain. My guess is that most objections will be similar to those we hear today about subliminal messages in advertisements, only much more vehement.
This technology is not without its risks of misuse. It could be a revolutionary healthcare technology for the sick, or a perfect controlling tool with which the ruthless control the weak. This time though, the control would be literal.”
The conclusion of the article: Nobody can stop scientists from developing this technology. To prevent misuse, it should be regulated by organizations such as … the WEF. That’s convenient because some companies developing this technology are part of the WEF. Do you see where this is going?
#8 Pills That Contain Microchips
Once again, this title sounds like a far-fetched conspiracy theory cleverly worded for sensationalism. It is not. Here’s a video from the WEF’s 2018 meeting where Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, talks about pills that contain microchips.
Bourla says:
“FDA approved the first ‘electronic pill’, if I can call it like that. It is basically a biological chip that is in the tablet and, once you take the tablet, and it disolves into your stomach, it sends a signal that you took the tablet. So imagine the applications of that, the compliance. The insurance companies would know that the medicines that patients should take, they do take them. It is fascinating what happens in this field.”
Is this field truly fascinating? Or utterly dystopian? As Bourla himself said: Imagine the compliance. This kind of technology could easily open the door to all kinds of nefarious applications. Since then, COVID put Pfizer in a position of power never seen before for a pharmaceutical company.
Like Pfizer, the WEF is also using COVID to further its agenda.
#7 Praising Massive Lockdowns
In 2020 and 2021, cities around the world were subjected to massive and drastic lockdowns, causing job losses, suicides, drug overdoses, isolation, mental health issues, domestic abuse, bankruptcies, and homelessness. During this horrific period, children could not attend school for months and were essentially barred from interacting with other children. A slew of small and medium businesses was destroyed while large corporations strived.
Despite all of this, the WEF could not hide its love of drastic, life-destroying lockdowns. In fact, it released a video surrealistically called “Lockdowns are quietly improving cities around the world”. Here’s this piece of complete insanity.
The video states “Lockdowns significantly reduced human activity … leading to Earth’s quietest period in decades,” while showing dystopian images of empty cities and planes stuck on the ground.
Completely ignoring the immense human suffering caused by these lockdowns, the WEF considered it was all worth it because “carbon emissions were down 7% in 2020”.
When this thing was first posted, it garnered intense backlash. So the WEF deleted the video above and posted this tweet.
As you can see, despite deleting the video, the WEF kept praising lockdowns. That’s because the WEF would love to see “covidian” life become permanent.
#6 “Take a Peek at the Future”
Judging by comments on YouTube and social media, people absolutely hate videos created by the WEF. But they keep coming. Because they don’t care what you think. They just want to plant their seed of insanity into your mind. In a video titled “How our lives could soon look” (read my full article about it here), the WEF invites viewers to “take a peek at the future”. And it is BLEAK. It is all about making COVID life permanent.
The video is filled with masked people, purell dispensers, and QR codes. This is the future they want. Then, there’s this nugget of insanity.
The video proudly says:
“NASA has invented a system that can ID you from your heartbeat using a laser.”
As if that wasn’t enough, the video shows children stuck at home and being schooled through screens. The video ends by showing people wearing masks outside, like crazy people.
#5 Pushing For a Great Reset
As stated above, the WEF perceives the pandemic as an “opportunity”. It is not only an opportunity to reshape our personal existence but to restructure the entire world structure according to its principles. The WEF calls it “the Great Reset”. To promote this Reset (that absolutely nobody wants) the WEF released a propaganda video (it really fits the definition of “propaganda”). Here it is in all of its insanity.
This short video manages to contain an incredible amount of subversive messages. It even ridiculizes “conspiracy theories” while, astoundingly, confirming these theories. The video also announced the “death of capitalism”.
While capitalism is based on a self-regulating system of offer and demand, the Great Reset looks to redefine the way businesses are evaluated through new parameters. The main one: Compliance with the elite’s social and political agendas.
Towards the end, the narrator utters this enigmatic sentence:
“And that’s all about getting the right people in the right place at the right time”.
While the video doesn’t quite explain what this sentence actually means in real-life situations, its implications are rather chilling. Instead of allowing successful individuals and businesses to grow organically, the elite’s system would interfere to “get the right people at the right place at the right time”, in accordance with its agenda. In other words, the system would be rigged and compliance with a wider agenda would be mandatory in a new economy.
The video ends with a call to viewers to get involved. However, of course, you’re not actually invited to the WEF. In fact, they’re actually looking to “recalibrate” your freedom of speech.
#4 “Recalibrating” freedom of speech
An easy way to identify world leaders who are groomed by the WEF is through their incessant railing against free speech. They absolutely hate it and they’re constantly calling for the internet to be censored and highly regulated. At the 2022 Davos meeting, Australian “eSafety commissioner” Julie Inman Grant stated that we need a “recalibration of free speech”.
Australian eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant tells the World Economic Forum we need a “recalibration” of freedom of speech. pic.twitter.com/zEq72wFhNf
“We are finding ourselves in a place where we have increasing polarization everywhere and everything feels binary when it doesn’t need to be. So I think we’re going to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online. You know, from freedom of speech to the freedom to be free from online violence.”
Here, Grant essentially calls for censorship. She even believes that freedom of speech as a human right should be “recalibrated” using “online violence” as an excuse. There is no such thing as “online violence”. They love to equate speech with violence. It is an extremely manipulative way of justifying China-style censorship.
Free speech is, in fact, binary. Either it exists or it doesn’t. And they clearly don’t want it to exist.
#3 Tracking Your Clothes
The WEF wants to control your clothes. And they’ve made a video about it. Did I mention that people absolutely hate WEF videos? Here’s another one that got people’s blood boiling.
Using the environment as an excuse (as usual), the WEF announced the coming of clothing laced with “digital passports” that can be traced at all times. Backed by Microsoft (of course), these garments will apparently flood the market by 2025.
According to the WEF, these chips will allow fashion brands to resell their clothes. I have no idea how that would work. The video makes sure NOT to mention that this technology would be a great way of tracking those who ditched their smartphones.
But ditching your smartphone might become … impossible.
#2 “Smartphones will be in your body by 2030”
At the 2022 Davos meeting, Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark claimed that, by 2030, “smartphones will be implanted directly into the body.” This would coincide with the coming of 6G technology, which is expected to be launched by the end of the decade.
For years, this site has been documenting the elite’s incessant push for transhumanism, which is the merging of humans with machines. They’re looking to accelerate this transition by making things people cannot live without (such as smartphones) available in transhumanist form.
Are you noticing their creepy eagerness to insert things inside our bodies?
#1 “You’ll Own Nothing. And You’ll Be Happy.”
This is probably the most dystopian moment in WEF history. In 2016, Ida Auken, a Member of Parliament in Denmark said:
“Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better”.
The WEF loved that quote so much that it tweeted about it.
The WEF also created a video (that everybody absolutely hated) titled “8 Predictions for the World in 2030”. Here’s a screenshot.
“I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes,” writes Danish MP Ida Auken. Shopping is a distant memory in the city of 2030, whose inhabitants have cracked clean energy and borrow what they need on demand. It sounds utopian, until she mentions that her every move is tracked and outside the city live swathes of discontents, the ultimate vision of a society split in two.
In this dystopian future, there are no products you can own. Only “services” that are rented and delivered using drones. This system would make all humans completely dependent on WEF-controlled corporations for every single basic need. There would be absolutely no autonomy, no freedom, and no privacy. And you’ll be happy.
At the 2022 Davos meeting, Alibaba Group president J. Michael Evans announced the development of an “individual carbon tracker”.
Alibaba Group president J. Michael Evans boasts at the World Economic Forum about the development of an “individual carbon footprint tracker” to monitor what you buy, what you eat, and where/how you travel. pic.twitter.com/sisSrUngDI
Once again, the WEF uses the environment to promote the micro-management of human behavior. Evans says that the tracker can monitor “where they’re traveling, how they’re traveling, what are they’re eating and what are they consuming on the platform”.
Notice that he used the pronoun “they” and not “we” because there is no way in hell he’s going to use that thing. Me neither.
In Conclusion
Upon reviewing this list, two common themes become obvious. The first theme is “penetration”. The WEF wants to penetrate governments using “Global Leaders” (aka Manchurian candidates). It also wants to penetrate our bodies through pills, microchips, and vaccines. It also wants to penetrate our minds using soundwaves, censorship, and propaganda.
The other theme is “control”. They want to control what we think, where we go, what we say, what we eat, and what we wear.
Do you know who agrees with the WEF? China. Censorship is widespread, a social credit system controls people’s behaviors and COVID is still used as an excuse for massive lockdowns and total population control. Not to mention the literal concentration camps. Despite all of this, Chinese officials are constantly present at WEF meetings. Why? Because China is basically a laboratory for the WEF’s policies.
With all of that being said, how can we counteract the WEF’s insanity? How can we vote them out if they were never voted in? A first step would be to elect – at all levels of government – representatives that want nothing to do with the WEF. If our elected officials treated the WEF as the rogue, illegitimate organization that it is, its influence would be greatly reduced.
Second, we can boycott every company that is part of the WEF. I realize this is easier said than done because many of these companies are virtual monopolies. However, if we stop giving them our money, they’ll stop using our money to poison our lives.
Then, they’ll own nothing. And we’ll all be happy.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro on Friday, acting on a referral from the Democrat-run House that held him in contempt for refusing to testify at the partisan January 6 Committee.
BREAKING: Former Trump White House official Peter Navarro has been indicted on contempt of Congress charges for defying Jan. 6 committee subpoenas. https://t.co/fVASZPeGpb
The arrest came one day after Navarro appeared on left-wing MSNBC to promise that he would lead efforts to promote the impeachment of President Joe Biden if Republicans take Congress in the midterm elections, which they are expected to do.
Navarro was held in contempt by Congress in March, along with former White House communications aide Dan Scavino, who was accused of refusing to testify based on false claims by the committee that he had not tried to cooperate.
Navarro has said candidly in interviews that the plan among Trump loyalists was to use a peaceful protest at the Capitol to pressure Congress and Vice President Mike Pence to reject the certification of Electoral College votes from states where the results were being contested by the Trump campaign.
Contrary to the claims of the January 6 committee, Navarro said that the violence that erupted interfered with the plan and ensured its failure.
Navarro is among several witnesses who have sued the committee in federal court, claiming that it is violating the separation of powers by performing a law enforcement function, and that it has violated the terms of its own enabling resolution.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took the unprecedented step of refusing to seat some Republican members of the committee. When House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) withdrew all of his nominees in response, Pelosi hand-picked the committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans, contrary to the eight Democrats and five Republicans that the resolution requires. The committee has no official ranking member, which critics say means its subpoenas are invalid.
Though the Supreme Court has given the committee access to documents over which former President Donald Trump tried to exert executive privilege, critics argue that the privilege still covers other materials, such as conversations with the president.
The committee also subpoenaed McCarthy, targeting the leader of the opposition in a one-sided inquiry. It has also reportedly worked with the Department of Justice in criminal investigations, despite denying due process protection to witnesses.
The Department of Justice ignored referrals for contempt of Congress when a Republican-led Congress found then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to hand over documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious, which led indirectly to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, and when Congress found former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner in contempt for refusing to testify about her agency’s effort to target conservative groups.
Navarro was considered one of then-President Donald Trump’s most effective advisers, after leading the effort to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement to replace NAFTA, and after pushing for tariffs on China as a geopolitical rival.
Spanish news sources have confirmed this morning June 3rd, 2022 that Judge of the Spanish National High Court has summoned former CIA Director Mike Pompeo to testify about CIA plans to kidnap and kill Julian Assange in 2017.
ABC News has reported that Pompeo will testify at some point during the month of June, and that the testimony may be conducted over video call.
Pompeo served as CIA Director from 2017-2018 under President Trump. He was then sworn in as Secretary of State in 2018 and served in that position until Trump left office.
Julian Assange is a whistleblower who founded Wikileaks back in 2006. He became a focus of the 2016 Election when Wikileaks published Hillary Clinton’s emails that were being illegally sent from her private server.
The judge of the National High Court Santiago Pedraz has agreed to summon Mike Pompeo, former US Secretary of State and former director of the CIA, as a witness, to explain whether the intelligence agency and the US government with Donald Trump front, a plan was drawn up in 2017 to kidnap and murder the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, as revealed by a journalistic investigation by Yahoo News. According to legal sources consulted by ABC, Pompeo has been summoned this June, although he may appear by videoconference.
The same resolution agrees to call William Evanina, a former key US counterintelligence official who would have made statements supporting that theory. Pedraz has made this decision after the prosecutor Carlos Bautista reported in favor of the petition filed by the lawyer Aitor Martínez who, together with Baltasar Garzón, defends Assange.
Is it a coincidence that the main reason Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 Election is being hunted by our intelligence agencies?
As time goes on, it is becoming crystal clear that our intelligence agencies are simply doing the bidding of our political elites. They do not serve We the People, but the political interests of their bosses.
It was just revealed yesterday that the FBI actually had a live workstation in the Perkins Coie law firm, the same law firm that employed disgraced Lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Julian Assange is an American Hero. He should have been pardoned by President Trump. Let us not forget, it was Trump who encouraged people to publish the emails during the 2016 campaign.
The public has a right to know how our elites really feel about us. Julian Assange did a great service to our Nation by revealing the truth.
Unfortunately, like Edward Snowden, Assange has been hunted by our intelligence agencies for having the bravery to speak the truth. Further evidence that our Federal law enforcement agencies have lost touch with reality and the basis of their power.
The Constitution does not permit for these agencies to exist in the first place… MUCH LESS to hunt political opponents of our elites.
The Spanish Court calling Mike Pompeo to testify is quite a big deal. Especially since Pompeo has been weighing a run against President Trump in 2024.
Is Pompeo a representative of the Deep State? An agent of the intelligence agencies? From a distance, that is exactly what it seems.
The World Health Organization was forced to go back to the drawing board after multiple nations and the entire continent of Africa rejected its pandemic treaty power grab in favor of national sovereignty.
The World Health Assembly convened last month to put forth International Health Resolutions they hoped would be adopted by give them medical control over WHO member states.
However, the pandemic treaty was soon derailed when on May 25th the African delegation led by Botswana rejected the initiative on behalf of its 47 AFRO members.
Botswana 🇧🇼 This was the moment that Africa did us all a favour by blocking the so called WHO Pandemic Treaty until at least 2024.
On Wed the 25th May, which was Africa Day, Botswana read a statement on behalf of its 47 AFRO members stating that they would not be signing & endorsing the controversial amendments that would have given the WHO power to dictate health policies & “solutions.” Well done to Africa.
Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran and Malaysia additionally rejected the treaty, according to Queensland, Australia, Member of Parliament Stephen Andrew.
“In the end, the WHO and its wealthy nation supporters, were forced to back down,” Andrew highlighted on Facebook.
They have not given up though – far from it,” he added. “Instead, they did what they always do and ‘pivoted’. At their request, a new working group was convened to make ‘technical recommendations on the proposed amendments’ which will re-submitted along with the Pandemic Treaty, at the 77th Health Assembly meeting in 2024.”
Indeed, Politico EU reports rather than adopt the treaty, the Assembly took up a resolution proposed by the US delegation which “sets the timeline for amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) to come into force,” while admitting the IHR will dictate “how countries should report on a potential new public health threat and set out the WHO’s role.”
More on the resolution adopted by the Assembly from Politico EU:
Under the compromise, officially agreed on by countries on Friday evening, countries will have 10 months to reject an amendment to the health regulations instead of nine months, as appeared in an earlier draft text. What has remained in the text is that any amendment to the regulations will come into effect in 12 months. That shaves a year off the current timeline.
A new paragraph added to the text refers to another decision taken at the assembly that will see a working group discuss future IHR amendments. The new text also states that this group will look at amendments to “address specific and clearly identified issues, challenges, including equity, technological or other developments, or gaps that could not effectively be addressed otherwise.
The Australian MP cautions, however, the WHO won’t be deterred so easily, and warns the public to be on guard for more coercive directives, resolutions and mandates, including those concerning digital ID.
–Twenty-five percent of Americans are considering pushing off retirement due to inflation, which is up 8.3 percent
–Nearly 60 percent of Americans said inflation has ‘majorly impacted’ their savings and many are changing their spending habits to cope
–Forty-two are choosing cheaper brands at the grocery store and putting back nonessential items, like snacks
–Over 45 percent are choosing not to dine out or are keeping a close eye on menu prices
–Eighty percent of Americans are changing their spending habits as food, gas, rent, and electric are all up
–Most blame Biden for inflation (60 percent) while 31 percent blame Russia
–On Wednesday, Biden said his hands were tied on inflation and said it was ‘not likely’ for Americans to see prices lower anytime soon
Forget about holidays!
Millions of Americans are putting off retirement as inflation continues to soar and President Joe Biden takes the brunt of the blame.
A new survey, conducted by BMO, shows that 25 percent of Americans are considering putting off retirement as the US experiences seemingly runaway inflation that is devaluing savings accounts.
A separate poll from the Trafalgar Group,conducted from May 25 to May 29, shows that roughly 60 percent blame Biden for the rising costs while a little over 31 percent blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
That’s obviously bad news for the White House, but even worse the economic pain appears to be widespread.
‘Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed said that inflation has adversely affected their personal finances, of which about one-in-four said that they have felt a major impact,’ according to a release the accompanied that BMO survey conducted between March 30 to April 25.
Notably, inflation hasn’t only hurt older citizens, it has hit those aged 18-34 particularly hard.
‘Younger Americans are feeling the most impact – over 60 percent of those aged 18 [to] 34 said they had to reduce contributions to their savings,’ the survey said.
Americans have been dealing with high inflation rates for months now and many blame the president for the rising costs.
At the White House on Wednesday, Biden said: ‘There’s a lot going on right now but the idea we’re going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term. Nor is it with regard to food.’
The current national inflation rate sits at 8.3 percent and overall spending habits have drastically changed across all age groups.
Forty-two percent of Americans are keeping their wallets close to their chest in grocery store checkout lanes and at the dinner table, as many are opting to purchase cheaper store brand items and putting the cookies back on the shelf.
Over 45 percent are dining out less or keeping a close eye on menu prices, on top of 31 percent of Americans trying to avoid driving as gas prices hit an all-time high.
Gas prices have reached over $4 across all 50 states – a first in history – and some heavily populated areas, like Los Angeles, are hitting above $8.
Spending more on the basics means many are opting out of pleasure purchases, such as much-needed vacations and cutting out gym memberships.
Although many won’t miss the weight rack, the weight of inflation will bare on their beach trips, holiday weekends, and watching the newest season of Love Island.
BMO found that a staggering 80 percent of Americans are changing their financial plans to cover the essential costs of living.
The 3,400-person survey also found that women remain the more level-headed of the sexes, finding that more females are changing their spending habits compared to men.
Almost 50 percent of women have adjusted their groceries lists, compared to only 36 percent of men. Women are also dining out less compared to their male counterparts at 49 percent to 43 percent, respectively. And 25 percent of women are cutting subscriptions compared to only 20 percent of men.
Despite dwindling bank accounts, Americans are feeling more confident about their financial health, increasing three percent since last quarter, rising from 75 to 78 percent, BMO reported.
‘More Americans [are] taking control of their personal finances, having a written financial plan, and checking in more often with their financial advisor,’ the survey said.
BMO still recommends Americans ‘review and adjust’ budgets to fit the new prices of items and to ‘postpone big-ticket purchases’ to avoid financial distress.
It also recommended speaking to ‘experts’ to help make sure the adjustments are keeping people on the financial success track.
There is very little that surprises me, but this is completely stunning. An FBI whistleblower came forth to inform Rep Jim Jordan and Rep Matt Gaetz that the FBI maintains a workspace inside the law firm of Perkins Coie. {Direct Rumble Link}
In response to a letter sent by Rep. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, Perkins Coie, the legal arm of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, admitted they have been operating an FBI workspace in their Washington D.C. office since 2012. Pay attention to that date, it matters. WATCH:
This is a huge development. Essentially, what is being admitted in this claim is that a portal existed into FBI databases within the law firm that represents democrats. This means access to FBI database searches exists inside the office of the DNC and Clinton legal group. Think about the ramifications here.
CTH has long claimed there was some kind of direct portal link between the Clinton campaign team and the FBI databases. There were too many trails of extracted non-minimized research evidence in the hands of the Clinton team that CTH could not trace to a transferring FBI official. If Perkins Coie operated a portal in their office that allowed them to conduct search queries of American citizens, then everything would make sense. That access portal is exactly what is being claimed and admitted in this report.
The start date of 2012 is important for several reasons, not the least of which is FISA presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer criticizing the scale and scope of unlawful FBI database access going back to exactly 2012. Keep in mind a FISA-702 search, is simply an unlawful FBI warrantless electronic search of an American (“702” represents the American citizen) into the central database -maintained by the NSA- that contains all electronic data and communication.
I have been in the deep hole of the FISA-702 database search query violations for so long I don’t even need a flashlight.
The report from Matt Gaetz about Perkins Coie access to FBI databases, is in direct alignment with Rosemary Collyer’s prior report on FBI abuses of the database, 702 violations. Notice the dates and scope Judge Collyer references [Source Link].
Non-compliant queries since 2012.
85% of the FBI and contractor searches are unlawful.
Many of those searches involved the use of the “same identifiers over different data ranges.” Put in plain terms, the same people were continually being tracked, searched and surveilled by querying the FBI database over time.
The non-compliant searches go back to 2012. The same date mentioned for the FBI portal to begin operating inside the Perkins Coie office.
This specific footnote is a key. Note the phrase: “([redacted] access to FBI systems was the subject of an interagency memorandum of understanding entered into [redacted])”, this sentence has the potential to expose an internal decision; withheld from congress and the FISA court by the Obama administration; that outlines a process for access and distribution of surveillance data.
Note: “no notice of this practice was given to the FISC until 2016“, that is important.
♦Summary: The FISA court identified and quantified tens-of-thousands of search queries of the NSA/FBI database using the FISA-702(16)(17) system. The database was repeatedly used by persons with contractor access who unlawfully searched and extracted the raw results without redacting the information and shared it with an unknown number of entities.
The outlined process certainly points toward a political spying and surveillance operation. When the DOJ use of the IRS for political information on their opposition became problematic, the Obama administration needed another tool. It was in 2012 when they switched to using the FBI databases for targeted search queries.
This information from Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz has the potential to be extremely explosive.
It will be interesting to see how the domestic intelligence community media (NYT, Politico, WaPo – in that order) respond to this Matt Gaetz report.
The Biden administration is in panic-mode over soaring inflation now that the midterms are drawing near.
Over the last few days, Joe Biden met with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to discuss inflation, penned an op-ed claiming fighting inflation is his “top priority”, and deployed his cabinet officials across the mainstream media airwaves to assure the American public that prices will soon come back down.
But a compilation by the Republican National Committee reveals that the Biden administration over the past 12 months first had no clue inflation was coming, then insisted inflation was “transitory”, and finally blamed inflation on outside factors like the Delta variant and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The Biden administration has finally said they “got it wrong” on inflation.
Biden, his former press secretary Jen Psaki, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Energy Secretary Jennifer Grantham were all featured in the devastating video.
Not featured in the compilation was Powell, who was in lockstep with the Biden administration’s inflation talking points over the last year, repeatedly claiming the Fed would ensure inflation “doesn’t take root” in the economy.
Biden claimed this week that he would not “interfere” with the Fed’s “independence” in addressing inflation.
Meanwhile, the Fed has been incrementally raising interest rates from 0%, with the private banking cartel announcing a rate of 3-3.5% by December amid a sustained inflation rate of over 8%.
Former Obama economic adviser Steve Rattner admitted Wednesday that Biden and the Fed flooding the economy with monetary stimulus during the COVID lockdowns accelerated inflation.

“We’re all paying the price for having overstimulated this economy during the pandemic and putting too much money in people’s pockets which created a lot of this inflation,” Rattner said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “There’s no free lunch here, now we’re all going to have to pay the price.”
