The big FIFA Soccer World Cup talking points

There is much to unpack after the first couple of weeks in Qatar

Silent protests, controversial goals, and shock exits: The big World Cup talking points
RT : 8 Dec, 2022

With the FIFA World Cup on a brief hiatus before the quarterfinals kick off on Friday, an opportunity has been afforded to take stock of the various narratives, scandals, and moments of magic which have grabbed the headlines over the past couple of weeks in Qatar.

The tournament, thus far at least, has provided more than its fair share of shocks, stunning goals, and even the apparent downfall of one of football’s most famous names.

After the dust settled on the group stage and the round-of-16 matches, we break down some of the major talking points from football’s biggest showpiece.   

Germany’s ‘One Love’ armband row

A culture clash between ultra-conservative Islamic hosts Qatar and the swathes of visiting teams from more ‘progressive’ countries across Europe and the rest of the world was always going to provoke some attention – and it certainly did in the opening days of the tournament.

Much of the lead-up to the World Cup was dominated by allegations of the human rights abuses of migrant workers in Qatar, as well as the treatment of LGBT individuals in a country where homosexuality remains illegal.

And football, a sport which rarely meets a topical social justice cause it doesn’t like, reacted in much the same way it did throughout the initial phase of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement: by some high-profile players signaling their virtues with rainbow-colored armbands designed to show solidarity to the cause.

FIFA had their own armband messages planned, and threatened sanctions for any players who displayed unauthorized apparel – leading to the now-infamous image of German players holding their hands over their mouths in a team photograph ahead of their opening match against Japan, in protest at being ‘silenced’.

Germany subsequently failed to advance past the group stage for the second World Cup in succession – something which was met with glee among some Qataris, as they highlighted in retaliation what they saw as German moral hypocrisy related to how former star Mesut Ozil was treated when announcing his retirement in 2018.

Some observers, meanwhile, suggested that Germany should perhaps have focused more on the football than off-the-field affairs.

Shock results

The aforementioned German capitulation, during which they were shocked by two late Japan goals in an opening 2-1 defeat which hastened their exit from Doha, wasn’t the only upset to take place in the first days of the tournament.

Argentina, who are among the sportsbooks’ picks to win the entire tournament, were stunned in their first match by a Saudi Arabia team which defied the odds to claim a 2-1 win against the South American champions.

There were similar sob stories in the broadsheets in Belgium after the world’s second-ranked team signaled the end of their so-called ‘Golden Generation’ by failing to emerge from their group after picking up just one win – and suffering a 2-0 humbling by Morocco along the way.

Elsewhere, Australia surprised most by pipping Tunisia and Denmark to second spot in Group D, while Japan’s win against Spain was also a harbinger of things to come ahead of the Spaniards’ shock ousting from the knockout stages by Morocco this week.

And that’s before we even mention Cameroon’s 1-0 win against an already-qualified Brazil in their final group-stage game.

Ghana, meanwhile, scored a measure of revenge as they got to witness a Luis Suarez-led Uruguay being eliminated in hugely dramatic fashion – more than 12 years after Suarez’s handball in their World Cup clash in South Africa helped deprive Ghana of a first-ever semifinal appearance for an African team.

The Uruguayans were denied a knockout spot in Qatar thanks to last-gasp drama elsewhere on the final day in Group H, where a late goal for South Korea earned them a 2-1 win over Portugal, propelling them into the last 16 at the expense of the South Americans.

The final day drama in Group E – where at one stage both Spain and Germany were set to go out – was remarkable, as was the denouement to Group C, where Poland pipped Mexico to a knockout spot by virtue of a marginally superior goal difference. 

While not necessarily shocking, this World Cup has also provided a significant helping of popcorn moments – Serbia’s 3-3 classic with Cameroon springs to mind, as does South Korea’s 3-2 defeat at the hands of Ghana, and the Ghanaians’ own 3-2 loss to Portugal.

The hosts’ awful record

There have been some abject performances in Qatar, and sadly for the hosts, they produced three of them. Indeed, Qatar’s decade-long strategy to ready itself for the biggest month of its football history fell flat in terms of its own performances on the pitch.

One goal scored, seven conceded. Three defeats. The worst record of a World Cup host in the history of the tournament.

Still, if the goal was to popularize and modernize the sport in a nation which doesn’t hold strong traditions in football, then it can probably be considered something of a success.

But after spending upwards of a reported $200 billion to develop the various infrastructure (much to the chagrin of the previously mentioned human rights groups), and a 12-year strategy designed to identify and train Qatari football talent, getting a least a draw would have been nice.

Money can buy a lot of things, but apparently not success at the top table of international football.

The downfall of Ronaldo?

Qatar is set to be a World Cup swansong for football’s most famous name: Cristiano Ronaldo. But the tournament came at a strange time in the career of the presently unemployed star.

He arrived in Qatar on the back of a tell-all interview with the UK’s agitator-in-chief, Piers Morgan, which hastened his exit at Manchester United – and likely cost him a substantial part of his legacy at a club whose fans have previously sung his name until their vocal cords gave out.

But at least the crumbling of that relationship could be adequately ignored for a few weeks in the dry desert heat. Right? Well, maybe not.

Ronaldo was, as the script dictated, selected for Portugal’s opening matches by coach Fernando Santos – but the drop-off in form which had afflicted his final days at Manchester United had transplanted to his national side, with the Portuguese great largely ineffective throughout.

A dose of typical Ronaldo impetuousness when he was hooked off by Santos an hour into Portugal’s group game with South Korea was enough for him to be dropped to the substitutes’ bench for their round-of-16 annihilation of Switzerland on Tuesday.

And what was worse for him was that his replacement, the 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos, scored a hat-trick. It has been a bad few weeks for the Ronaldo brand – but if the rumors of a big-money contract offer from a Saudi Arabian team are to be believed, his earning power looks set to increase in direct contrast to that of his playing abilities.

Japanese VAR drama

It just wouldn’t be modern football if there wasn’t a little drama from the VAR room. After its introduction at the World Cup in Russia four-and-a-half years ago, VAR has become the Marmite of football officiating: either you love it, or you hate it.

Japan, we expect, fall into the former category after forensic analysis of a controversial late goal in their 2-1 win against Spain appeared to show that the ball had somewhat miraculously stayed in the field of play before it was crossed for Ao Tanaka to poke home into an empty net.

Spain (and the ousted Germany) will likely be more than aggrieved at the outcome of the inquest into whether or not the goal should have stood. In the end, the Spanish only have themselves to blame for their subsequent penalty shootout exit at the hands of Morocco, while the Germans’ problems ran much deeper than being dumped out by a moment of VAR contention.

As for the neutrals? You can’t buy that type of drama and – rightly or wrongly – many were glued to their television screens when the fate of an entire footballing nation in a four-year World Cup cycle falls upon the evidence of a CSI-style investigation.

Political football


If sport is essentially a vehicle for drama or scandal, this World Cup has faithfully delivered. The build-up to the event was dominated by allegations of Qatari wrongdoing, then you had the various armband rows and subsequent FIFA interjections.

But it hasn’t stopped there. Headlines were made on the eve of the tournament after Qatar’s sudden about-face when it came to serving alcohol near or inside stadiums.

Then we had the politically-charged tensions between Serbian and Swiss players spilling out onto the pitch and the sidelines, which was exacerbated by Swiss player Granit Xhaka aiming a dig as his Serbian opponents on the subs’ bench.

Serbia, meanwhile, were placed under FIFA investigation after hanging a flag depicting Kosovo in their dressing room prior to their defeat by Brazil.

The USA also ignited a potential political firestorm when the US Soccer Federation displayed an Iranian flag on social media which didn’t feature the emblem of the Islamic Republic ahead of their group-stage fixture.

Iran threatened action with FIFA against the USA, while the Americans said that the measure was taken in solidarity with the ongoing human rights protests in the country. US coach Gregg Berhalter apologized, and the correct Iranian flag was later used by US soccer’s social media accounts. A single goal from Christian Pulisic settled the match, if not the issue.

Russia, absent from this World Cup following their FIFA ban, were also in focus despite not being in Qatar after Cameroon player Gael Ondoua was seen wearing boots depicting both the Cameroon and Russian flags.

Ondoua spent many of his formative years in Russia and credits the country with being fundamental to his footballing apprenticeship. He has pledged to sell the boots to raise money for charity in Russia in the days following the World Cup.

And if Russia’s football team aren’t in Qatar, the country’s cultural reach was apparent by the playing of Russian folk songs ‘Kalinka’ and ‘Katyusha’, which could be heard at various points throughout the tournament as played by local bands to whip up the atmosphere.

Potential winners

Back to the football. With just eight teams remaining, it is beginning to become clearer as to who might lift the famous trophy on December 18.

The South American duo of Brazil and Argentina look to be in imperious form, the latter of whom are looking to claim world football’s biggest prize as a parting gift to Lionel Messi on the occasion of his final World Cup: an accolade which would place him neck-and-neck with Diego Maradona in the country’s list of immortal sports heroes.

Typically, Messi has produced some moments of magic in Qatar, and shackling him will be key if the Netherlands stand any chance of progressing from their quarterfinal clash.

Brazil’s challenge, meanwhile, remains undaunted despite accusations of disrespect due to their dancing celebrations throughout the 4-1 drubbing of South Korea in the last 16.

The Samba boys have turned on the style with some scintillating football and sensational goals – not least from Richarlison – while Neymar also appears to be free from injury again. Brazil face 2018 finalists Croatia in their quarterfinal, with Luka Modric and Co. looking steady if unspectacular thus far in Qatar.

Defending champions France, and their talisman Kylian Mbappe, look every inch contenders once more, with the Paris Saint-Germain forward leading the race for the Golden Boot on five goals. Les Bleus face cross-channel rivals England in their last-eight clash.

Even England, always the bridesmaids in situations such as this, appear in with a shout of ending their 50-year famine with a trophy after running up big scorelines against Iran and Senegal.

Portugal certainly can’t be ruled out, not least after setting the rest on notice with their demolition of the notoriously stubborn Swiss.

The Portuguese quarterfinal clash with surprise package Morocco – whose defense has been as tight as they come in Qatar – should be intriguing, while the support for the North Africans has been fervent in Qatar and far beyond.

Merkel has admitted deception over Minsk peace deal

Negotiating in bad faith? Well, that is how Native Americans, or Iranians (for example) were fooled.

This admission just goes to prove that the western powers do not bargain in good faith just as we suspected all along with the Minsk agreement. What I find shocking is the hypocrisy they show when they accuse others of doing the very same thing an with no proof and the knowledge of what they have done. Nations need to be ruled by honorable governments and not by a cabal of liars who with great fanfare make deals with no intention of enforcing. In this case buying time means they wanted this war and planned it all along and the fault lies with them not Russia. The lives of ethnic Russians and the state sponsored slaughter in Ukraine was acceptable to them, what monsters. No matter how hard they try the truth comes out, the problem is the people never hold them accountable. They need to fire up the Nuremberg courts again and convict these bad actors who have cost so many lives already and who knows how many more?

This also means that Merkel (along with others) is directly responsible for the murder of 14,500+ Russian speaking Ukrainians.

Merkel has admitted deception over Minsk peace deal – Russia
The former German chancellor has disclosed that the accords were meant to ‘give time’ for Ukraine to strengthen its military

RT, 8 Dec, 2022

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has confirmed her government’s duplicity regarding the conflict in Ukraine by confirming that the 2014 ceasefire agreement was meant to give Kiev time to build up its military, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

In an interview with Zeit magazine published on Wednesday, Merkel said that the Minsk protocol brokered by Germany and France was “an attempt to give Ukraine time,” which it used to “become stronger” as evidenced on the battlefield now. She was referring to the first of the two documents known collectively as the “Minsk agreements” that were designed to help Kiev reconcile with rebels in the east, who had rejected the outcome of an armed coup in the capital in 2014.

Berlin and “by extension, the West” never intended to implement the Minsk agreements, Zakharova concluded based on Merkel’s remarks.

The US and its allies “simulated supporting the UN Security Council resolution” which endorsed the roadmap to peace while pumping weapons into Ukraine and “ignored all crimes committed by the Kiev regime … for the sake of a decisive strike against Russia,” she explained in a social media post on Thursday.

In the Zeit interview, Merkel stated that Russia “could easily have overrun” Ukrainian troops in 2015, adding that she doubted that “NATO countries could have done as much then as they do now”. The second part of the Minsk agreements was signed in February 2015 amid a military defeat suffered by Ukrainian troops, which attempted to quash the Donbass militias.

Merkel’s description of the accords coincides with that made by former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko, during whose tenure they were signed. Domestically, in August 2015, he stated that the peace deal was a ruse to give his government time for a military buildup. He said the same thing to Western audiences in June this year.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine in late February, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk protocols, under which the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk would have been given special status within the Ukrainian state. The Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states, which have since voted to join Russia alongside Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

Russia also demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Merkel’s ‘confession’ may be grounds for tribunal – Moscow
The former chancellor gave evidence that the West had orchestrated hostilities in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry says
RT : 8 Dec, 2022

A confession by former German chancellor Angela Merkel about the Minsk peace agreements could be used as evidence in a tribunal involving Western politicians responsible for provoking the Ukraine conflict between Moscow and Kiev, the Russian Foreign Ministry warned on Thursday.

The deal, brokered by Germany and France, was supposed to be a roadmap for peace in the war-torn country. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that his country's current military offensive was prompted by the failure to implement the terms of the accords.

The former German leader admitted in an interview with Die Zeit on Wednesday that the actual purpose of the Minsk agreements was to give Ukraine time to prepare for a military confrontation with Russia.

“They talk a lot about legal assessments of what is happening around Ukraine, certain tribunals and so on in all sorts of ways,” Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a media briefing on Thursday. “But this is a specific reason for a tribunal.”

She claimed that Merkel’s comments were nothing short of the testimony of a person who had openly admitted that everything done between 2014 and 2015 was meant to “distract the international community from real issues, play for time, pump up the Kiev regime with weapons, and escalate the issue into a large-scale conflict,” Zakharova added.

She said Merkel’s statements “horrifyingly” reveal that the West uses “forgery as a method of action,” and resorts to “machinations, manipulation and all kinds of distortions of truth, law and rights imaginable.”

The spokeswoman claimed that the West had known well in 2015, when it spent hours negotiating the second part of the Minsk accords, that it would never even attempt to fulfill any part of the agreements and would instead pump weapons into Kiev.

“They did not feel sorry for anyone: women, children, the civilian population of Donbass or the whole of Ukraine. They needed a conflict and they were ready for it back then, in 2015,” Zakharova said.

Earlier this month, a number of Western officials called for the creation of a special UN-backed court to investigate alleged war crimes committed by Russia during its ongoing military campaign in Ukraine.

The Kremlin has said the West has no legal or moral right to set up any courts to investigate or prosecute Russia over the conflict, which Moscow claims was ultimately provoked by the US and its allies.

Global Spyware Industry spiraled out of control

The market for commercial spyware — which allows governments to invade mobile phones and vacuum up data — is booming. Even the US government is using it.

How the Global Spyware Industry Spiraled Out of Control

By Mark Mazzetti, Ronen Bergman and Matina Stevis-Gridneff
The New York Times, Dec. 8, 2022

The Biden administration took a public stand last year against the abuse of spyware to target human rights activists, dissidents and journalists: It blacklisted the most notorious maker of the hacking tools, the Israeli firm NSO Group.

But the global industry for commercial spyware — which allows governments to invade mobile phones and vacuum up data — continues to boom. Even the U.S. government is using it.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is secretly deploying spyware from a different Israeli firm, according to five people familiar with the agency’s operations, in the first confirmed use of commercial spyware by the federal government.

At the same time, the use of spyware continues to proliferate around the world, with new firms — which employ former Israeli cyberintelligence veterans, some of whom worked for NSO — stepping in to fill the void left by the blacklisting. With this next generation of firms, technology that once was in the hands of a small number of nations is now ubiquitous — transforming the landscape of government spying.

One firm, selling a hacking tool called Predator and run by a former Israeli general from offices in Greece, is at the center of a political scandal in Athens over the spyware’s use against politicians and journalists.

After questions from The New York Times, the Greek government admitted that it gave the company, Intellexa, licenses to sell Predator to at least one country with a history of repression, Madagascar. The Times has also obtained a business proposal that Intellexa made to sell its products to Ukraine, which turned down the sales pitch.

Predator was found to have been used in another dozen countries since 2021, illustrating the continued demand among governments and the lack of robust international efforts to limit the use of such tools.

The Times investigation is based on an examination of thousands of pages of documents — including sealed court documents in Cyprus, classified parliamentary testimonies in Greece and a secret Israeli military police investigation — as well as interviews with more than two dozen government and judicial officials, law enforcement agents, business executives and hacking victims in five countries.

The most sophisticated spyware tools — like NSO’s Pegasus — have “zero-click” technology, meaning they can stealthily and remotely extract everything from a target’s mobile phone, without the user having to click on a malicious link to give Pegasus remote access. They can also turn the mobile phone into a tracking and secret recording device, allowing the phone to spy on its owner. But hacking tools without zero-click capability, which are considerably cheaper, also have a significant market.

Commercial spyware has been used by intelligence services and police forces to hack phones used by drug networks and terrorist groups.

But it has also been abused by numerous authoritarian regimes and democracies to spy on political opponents and journalists. This has led governments to a sometimes tortured rationale for their use — including an emerging White House position that the justification for using these powerful weapons depends in part on who is using them and against whom.

The Biden administration is trying to impose some degree of order to the global chaos, but in this environment, the United States has played both arsonist and firefighter. Besides the D.E.A.’s use of spyware — in this case, a tool called Graphite, made by the Israeli firm Paragon — the C.I.A. during the Trump administration purchased Pegasus for the government of Djibouti, which used the hacking tool for at least a year. And F.B.I. officials made a push in late 2020 and the first half of 2021 to deploy Pegasus in their own criminal investigations before the bureau ultimately abandoned the idea.

In a statement to The Times, the Drug Enforcement Administration said that “the men and women of the D.E.A. are using every lawful investigative tool available to pursue the foreign-based cartels and individuals operating around the world responsible for the drug-poisoning deaths of 107,622 Americans last year.”

Steven Feldstein, an expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, has documented the use of spyware by at least 73 countries.

“The penalties against NSO and its ilk are important,” he said. “But in reality, other vendors are stepping in. And there’s no sign it’s going away.”

The Biden Presidency

Here’s where the president stands after the midterm elections.

  •     A New Primary Calendar: President Biden’s push to reorder the early presidential nominating states is likely to reward candidates who connect with the party’s most loyal voters.
  •     A Defining Issue: The shape of Russia’s war in Ukraine, and its effects on global markets, in the months and years to come could determine Mr. Biden’s political fate.
  •     Beating the Odds: Mr. Biden had the best midterms of any president in 20 years, but he still faces the sobering reality of a Republican-controlled House for the next two years.
  •     2024 Questions: Mr. Biden feels buoyant after the better-than-expected midterms, but as he turns 80, he confronts a decision on whether to run again that has some Democrats uncomfortable.

Arsonist and Firefighter

For more than a decade, NSO sold Pegasus to spy services and law enforcement agencies around the world. The Israeli government required the company to secure licenses before exporting its spyware to a particular law enforcement or intelligence agency.

This allowed the Israeli government to gain diplomatic leverage over countries eager to purchase Pegasus, such as Mexico, India and Saudi Arabia. But a mountain of evidence about the abuse of Pegasus piled up.

The Biden administration took action: A year ago, it placed NSO and another Israeli firm, Candiru, on a Commerce Department blacklist — banning American companies from doing business with the hacking firms. In October, the White House warned of the dangers of spyware in its national security strategy outline, which said the administration would fight the “illegitimate use of technology, including commercial spyware and surveillance technology, and we will stand against digital authoritarianism.”

The administration is coordinating an investigation into what countries have used Pegasus or any other spyware tools against American officials overseas.

Congress is working on a bipartisan bill requiring the director of national intelligence to produce an assessment of the counterintelligence risks to the United States posed by foreign commercial spyware. The bill would also give the director of national intelligence the authority to ban the use of spyware by any intelligence agency. The White House is working on an executive order with other restrictions on the use of spyware.

But there are exceptions. The White House is allowing the D.E.A. to continue its use of Graphite, the hacking tool made by Israel-based Paragon, for its operations against drug cartels.

A senior White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the White House executive order being prepared would target spyware that posed “counterintelligence and security risks” or had been used improperly by foreign governments. If any such evidence emerged against Paragon, the official said, the White House expects that the government would terminate its contract with the company.

“The administration has been clear that it will not use investigative tools that have been used by foreign governments or persons to target the U.S. government and our personnel, or to target civil society, suppress dissent or enable human rights abuses,” the official said. “We expect all departments and agencies to act consistent with this policy.”

Similar to Pegasus, the NSO tool, Graphite spyware can invade the mobile phone of its target and extract its contents. But unlike Pegasus, which collects data stored inside the phone itself, Graphite primarily collects data from the cloud, after data is backed up from the phone. This can make it more difficult to discover the hack and theft of information, according to cybersecurity experts.

An official with the Drug Enforcement Administration said Graphite had been used only outside the United States, for the agency’s operations against drug traffickers. The agency did not respond to questions about whether Graphite had been used against any Americans living abroad or to questions about how the agency handled information about American citizens — messages, phone contacts or other information — that the agency obtained when using Graphite against its targets.

D.E.A. officials met in 2014 with NSO about purchasing Pegasus for its operations, a meeting reported earlier by Vice News, but the agency decided against purchasing the spyware.

Paragon’s sales are regulated by the Israeli government, which approved the sale of Graphite to the United States, according to an official aware of Israel’s defense export licensing agreements.

The company was founded just three years ago by Ehud Schneorson, a former commander of Unit 8200, Israel’s equivalent of the National Security Agency. Little public information is available about the company; it has no website. Most of the company’s executives are Israeli intelligence veterans, some of whom worked for NSO, according to two former Unit 8200 officers and a senior Israeli official.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, sits on the company’s board, and American money helps finance its operations. Battery Ventures, a Boston-based fund, lists Paragon as one of the companies in which it invests. A representative for Paragon declined to comment.

Even as the U.S. government purchases and deploys Israeli-made spyware with one hand, the Biden administration’s move to rein in the commercial spyware industry with the other has frayed relations with Israel.

Israeli officials have pushed to get NSO and Candiru removed from the Commerce Department blacklist to no avail.

Amir Eshel, the director general of the Israeli Defense Ministry, said Israeli officials had been trying to find out the U.S. government’s red lines on commercial spyware.

Despite these efforts, Mr. Eshel said, “senior government officials are not ready to answer us, address the issue or explain their point of view.”

The Biden administration’s move to blacklist NSO and Candiru has had a financial impact. To prevent the blacklisting of other companies, Israel’s Defense Ministry has imposed tougher restrictions on the local cybersecurity industry, including by reducing the number of countries to which those companies can potentially sell their products to 37 from 110, according to two senior Israeli officials and an Israeli tech company executive. With fewer countries available as potential buyers, many Israeli spyware companies, most famously NSO, have taken a severe financial hit. Three others have gone bankrupt.

This new landscape, however, provided new opportunities for others to seize.

Predator Emerges

Tal Dilian did just that.

A former general in Israeli military intelligence, Mr. Dilian was forced to retire from the Israeli Defense Forces in 2003 after an internal investigation raised suspicions that he had been involved in funds mismanagement, according to three people who were senior officers in

military intelligence. He eventually moved to Cyprus, a European Union island nation that has become a favored destination in recent years for surveillance firms and cyber-intelligence experts.

In 2008 in Cyprus, Mr. Dilian co-founded Circles, a company that used an Israeli-perfected snooping technology known as Signaling System 7.

He sold it off and went on to set up other companies selling surveillance products. He prided himself on recruiting the best hackers, including former spyware experts from the Israeli military’s most elite cyber-intelligence unit.

Mr. Dilian did not respond to requests for an interview or to written questions submitted to him directly and through his lawyers in Cyprus and Israel.

For several years after the sale of Circles, Cyprus was good to Mr. Dilian. Then, in 2019, he gave an interview to Forbes from a surveillance

van driving through the Cypriot city of Larnaca. He gave a mock demonstration of the van’s ability to hack any nearby phone and steal WhatsApp and text messages from unsuspecting targets.

Asked about human rights abuses committed when using his products, Mr. Dilian told Forbes that “we work with the good guys.” He added, “And sometimes the good guys don’t behave.”

Cypriot authorities soon issued a request for his arrest through Interpol, the global police agency, for illegal surveillance. His lawyer ultimately succeeded in settling the episode with a 1 million euro ($1 million) fine paid through Mr. Dilian’s company, but he was no longer welcome to do business in Cyprus, several Cypriot officials involved in the case said.

Mr. Dilian wasn’t done. He decamped to Athens and set up Intellexa there in 2020, which is when he began to aggressively market his new spyware product, Predator.

Predator requires the targeted user to click on a link to infect the user’s phone, whereas Pegasus infects the phone without any action from the target. That means Predator requires more creativity to entice already wary targets to click.

Predator infections come in the form of carefully crafted, personalized instant messages and infected links mimicking established websites.  

Once the phone is infected, the spyware has many of the same snooping capabilities of Pegasus, according to experts. An investigation into Predator by Meta listed about 300 such sites that experts had found were used for Predator infections.

From spring 2020, Intellexa operated from offices along the Greek capital’s Riviera, its southern coastline favored by surfing digital nomads and international sports stars. According to confidential employment records reviewed by The Times as well as staff LinkedIn profiles, the company hired at least eight Israelis, several of whom had a background in the country’s intelligence services.

Mr. Eshel, whose ministry oversees export licenses for spyware, said he had little power to control what Mr. Dilian or other former Israeli intelligence operatives did once they set up businesses outside Israel.

“It certainly disturbs me that a veteran of our intelligence and cyber units, who employs other former senior officials, operates around the world without any oversight,” he said.

Intellexa also looked out for opportunities that used to be in NSO’s domain. Ukraine had previously tried to acquire Pegasus, but the effort failed after the Israeli government blocked NSO from selling to Ukraine out of concern that doing so would harm Israel’s relationship with Russia.

Intellexa swooped in. The Times obtained a copy of a nine-page Intellexa pitch for Predator to a Ukrainian intelligence agency last year, the first

full such commercial spyware proposal to be made public. The document, dated February 2021, brags about the capabilities of Predator and even offers a 24/7 help line.

For 13.6 million euros ($14.3 million) for the first year, Intellexa offered Ukraine a basic package of 20 simultaneous infections with Predator and a “magazine” of 400 hacks of domestic numbers, as well as training and a round-the-clock help center. If Ukraine wanted to use Predator on non-Ukrainian numbers, the price would go by an extra 3.5 million euros.

Ukraine rejected the pitch, a person familiar with the matter said. Ukraine’s reasons for passing on Predator are unclear, but that did not appear to dissuade Intellexa or Mr. Dilian. Freed from the strictures of Israeli government regulation and running with virtually no oversight in Athens, the company expanded its clientele.

Meta, as well as the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity watchdog organization, detected Predator in Armenia, Egypt, Greece, Indonesia, Madagascar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Vietnam, the Philippines and Germany. These locations were determined through internet scans for servers known to be associated with the spyware.

A Greek Drama

Over the past few months, Predator has also roiled public life in Greece, where it was found to have been used against journalists and opposition figures. The Greek government has repeatedly described the spyware as illegal and said it had nothing to do with it.

Despite the denunciations, Greece admitted to backing Intellexa and its spyware in a vital way: by licensing the company to export Predator to Madagascar, whose government has a history of cracking down on dissent.

Alexandros Papaioannou, the spokesman for the Greek Foreign Ministry, confirmed that a division of the ministry issued two export licenses to Intellexa on Nov. 15, 2021. In a hint of the pressure the country is under, Mr. Papaioannou said the ministry’s inspector general had begun an internal investigation after reports in the local press about the company. European Union legislation treats spyware as a potential weapon and calls for authorities to grant export licenses after due diligence to prevent its abuse.

Just off the coast of East Africa, Madagascar is the world’s fourth-poorest nation. It struggles with corruption, especially in the mining and oil industries that bring in billions a year for corporations. Malagasy officials did not comment.

In Greece, Predator is also at the center of a domestic political maelstrom.

The saga began in April, when the Greek outlet Inside Story reported that Predator had been used to infect the phone of a local investigative reporter. The University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab forensically found the infection. Two opposition politicians soon confirmed that they, too, had been targeted, each with forensic evidence to back the claims.

All three suspect that the Greek state ordered their surveillance and have filed lawsuits. Thanasis Koukakis, an investigative reporter, has sued Mr. Dilian and his Intellexa associates.

The conservative prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has denied ordering surveillance using Predator and maintains that the Greek government does not own the spyware.  Lawmakers are debating — and are expected to approve —  legislation that would impose a two-year minimum prison sentence for the sale, use or distribution of commercial spyware.

Fallout from the spyware scandal caused Mr. Mitsotakis’s nephew, who had political oversight of the national intelligence service, to resign  in August, although he denies any role in it. Around the same time, the prime minister fired the national intelligence chief.

The same month, Intellexa dismissed most of its Athens-based staff.

In November, Mr. Mitsotakis admitted that somebody is running covert operations using Predator inside Greece — he just does not know whom.

“To be clear, I never claimed — and the government has never claimed — that there were no hacks and no forces using the Predator software,” he said, adding: “There’s illegal spyware all over Europe.”

“New World Order” : Rockefeller’s Social Engineering Project!

Amazing!!! 

Where Did This “New World Order” Coup Come From? The Rockefeller’s “Social Engineering Project”

Written by Jens Jerndal

Global Research

The “New World Order” (NWO) is a social engineering project aimed at reshaping human civilization on Planet Earth in its every aspect, to suit the selfish interests of a small group of billionaires obsessed by greed for power and profit. But also – and no less so – obsessed by their fear of violent hungry and deprived masses ransacking and destroying their properties. And eager to display how superior they are to 99.99 % of their fellow humans – and their ability to beat both Nature, the Universe, and Divine Consciousness at the eternal game of Creation.

The NWO idea grew out of John D. Rockefeller’s business idea, hatched already around 1900, to take on health care and make a global monopoly of medical science. Just as he had already created a virtual global monopoly of the petroleum business.

Rockefeller’s brilliant but sneaky self-serving initiative took the guise of a non-profit institution in order to escape taxes and at the same time gain respect, if not popularity, instead of the anger and hate his ruthless business methods had earned him until then.

And what better way of taking control of medical research, education and practice? – All under the guise of generously donating fortunes for the benefit of the masses – and of Science. While tailoring it all to his own strictly-for- profit business model. Which has resulted in Big Pharma ́s secret mantra “Every cured patient is a lost customer” becoming a fundamental principle of modern Western school medicine. It does not offer any cures, only life-long treatments by patented and high priced, synthetic pharmaceutical drugs and surgery with a long list of potentially fatal side effects that need additional drugs.

By creating the “non-profit” Rockefeller Foundation in 1913 “to alleviate human suffering world wide”, his oil billions became exempt of taxation, and could be used to discretely control almost anything he wanted to take over, through outright purchases or bribes, or through donations with specific conditions, or through influencing Boards of Directors and other decision makers. Scientists, research and publications were bought, and politicians were funded and made to change legislations to favor Rockefeller business interests.

The Rockefeller family controls Chase Manhattan Bank and The First National City Bank. Chase Manhattan is the third largest banking establishment in the world and, according to Wikipedia, by far the most influential.

This means they also own a major chunk of “The Federal Reserve”, the privately owned US central bank created through a coup in Congress on December 23, 1913, when the majority of congressmen and senators had already left for their Christmas holiday.

To a great extent, therefore, Rockefeller interests control global finance, such as interest rates, and the printing of fiat dollars, which is counterfeit money on a massive scale. The Federal Reserve therefore has the power to cause stock market booms and busts, as well as financial crises leading to recessions and depressions at will. They have used that power several times. And are deep into it right now, as I am writing this in October of 2022.

The Rockefeller social engineering project was first documented in 1910 with the Flexner Report, 3 years before the creation of the Rockefeller Foundation. It was about reforming and controlling medical education in the US and Canada.

Realizing that their plan would need support from public opinion to become successful, they began to focus on influencing and shaping the thoughts and opinions of the general population.

On the one hand they targeted the educational system in general, from kindergarten and all the way through the Universities. This meant getting children into the hands of specially trained nurses and pre-school teachers, who would make sure all children were properly indoctrinated, practically from birth.

The way to get women to abandon their traditional role as first and foremost mothers, housewives and home-makers, was first to change people ́s perception of value and happiness.

Traditional values favored nature, family bonds, motherhood and cooperation in agricultural communities. In pre-Rockefeller society most male full- time income earners could normally support a whole family with often many children. Now, such an earner may not have had the privilege of working only 40 hours a week. Nor would the family have enjoyed all sorts of technical wonders, gadgets or games, nor cars or boats. Neither were they able to buy new fashionable clothes four times a year, or travel abroad on holidays.

So, in order to shape children’s minds as early as possible into accepting Rockefeller’s industrial world model, and help create an expanded source of both workers and customers for the new industries of the wealthy ”elite”, it was necessary from the Rockefeller point of view to make women want to compete with men in the workplace and earn as much money as men. That’s why they launched the Feminist movement.

The means to achieve this was to take control of news media, and also to use entertainment and games, including Hollywood movies, to reshape people ́s perception of what is important in life. All in subtle indirect ways over time, so that very few people have been aware of the programming and mind control they have been exposed to.

Women leaving their homes to work for industry was a mortal blow to the closely knit family structure that was the traditional basis of society.

We now take for granted that women should have the liberty to choose what they want to do with their lives. The problem is that, due to this social programming, they would now feel guilty or less worth, if they decide they want to dedicate themselves to children, home and family.

We should not underestimate the importance for society of women’s traditional role as educators of their children during the crucial first 7 years of life.

And no less so as wise influencers of their husbands. And not least as guardians of the wisdom and experiences of previous generations, passed down from mothers and grandmothers to their children during childhood. An invaluable source of knowledge and – above all – wisdom, now largely lost in favor of kindergarten schooling and modern media’s commercial propaganda and political indoctrination.

The value system our society is built on was then slowly changed from patriot, emotional, moral, spiritual and communal, to focusing on maximum money and power through individual competition in a global setting.

Even so, the newly created materialists are expected to obey authority. Not question what they are taught. Not think for themselves. The Rockefeller educational plan never intended them to be anything other than reliable and easily manageable cogs in the wheels of the global wealthy elite ́s industries and political power structures. Never mind hypnotic repetitions of the mantras Democracy and Equality, increasingly meaningless.

David Rockefeller wrote in his autobiography:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.

The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

***

The Rockefeller and Gates families have been close allies for several generations. And the Carnegie, Mellon and Ford foundations have also cooperated closely with the Rockefeller projects.

Among the various fundaments of the New World Order is the ability to control access to both energy and food. Without energy the entire industrial and financial structure grinds to a halt. And without food, the population becomes easy to control.

Henry Kissinger, one of the staunchest propagators of the NWO project, and close collaborator with the Rockefellers, has famously remarked that who controls oil (then synonymous with energy) controls the governments of the world, and who controls the food supply, controls the people.

I think it was also Kissinger who coined the term “useless eaters” referring to the broad masses, that will no longer be required as workforce and servants for the “Elite”, when robots, computers and AI will do all productive work more cheaply and more reliably than humans. Who should therefore be eliminated by one means or another, before starving masses become a threat to the “Elite”.

If we look closely, we’ll find that the GROWTH of the world population has slowed down in the last century for several reasons. If we look even closer, we shall find that it has slowed down much more in the economically developed countries than in the so called “developing” (previously “under-developed”) countries. Which is easily explained by people in “developed” countries choosing to have fewer children. Which, in turn, is due to more education, increased awareness, more choices on how to spend their increased income. But also to less infant mortality and less need to depend on their children in old age.

Looking closer still, we find “culling” of population already active, even if we cannot know for sure how much of it has been done specifically with that intention. The principal means by which it has been happening, are:

1)  More or less constant warfare, estimated to have killed around 100 million people since 1914.

2)  Rockefeller Medicine’s drugs, surgery and vaccinations estimated to have killed at least 50 million people since WW1, the vast majority of whom in the last 40 years.

3) Industrially produced food causing metabolic illness such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attacks etc. is deemed to have caused incalculable millions of premature deaths during the last century.

One of the most insidious and dangerous of Rockefeller power plays to dominate the world and reduce population is the genetic manipulation of food (GMO). A global campaign has been going on since 1990 to lure farmers to use GMO seeds that do not produce viable new seeds and therefore have to be bought from the manufacturers every year. The result have been disastrous and tragic for the farmers.

GMO research on mice have shown that those fed GMO products develop cancer, and their second or third generation offspring becomes infertile. They have even produced a GMO maize (corn) with a anti-sperm ingredient that makes men sterile. Surprised, anyone?

The final execution plan for the NWO was launched in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin wall and the Soviet Empire. Once the US deep state, aka the globalist mafia, got rid of its only real opponent, the Soviet Union, they saw the way open to finally claim control of the entire planet.

So, on 9/11 of 1990, exactly to the day 11 years before their 9/11 false flag terrorist act in New York City, Papa Bush announced in a voice trembling with emotion the launch of the New World Order, that would make the world into a paradise of “peace, affluence and the Rule of Law” for everybody, under one benevolent world government.

This was the starting signal for 30 years of preparation  of the global coup that was finally set off with the Covid tale of the Emperor ́s New Virus, officially launched on March 11, 2020. Please observe the intentional choice of date for this announcement. March 11 is the polar opposite in the calendar of 9/11, and several other major state terrorist acts from the same source have also occurred on March 11. No coincidence.

1992 was a key year for the New World Order agenda, with several long term, falsely labeled projects being launched.

Here some of the operations put into action:

1) The most publicly and globally promoted of these projects was the so-called Agenda 21, where the number refers to the 21st century as a whole. It was the result of the United Nations conference in Rio de Janeiro in June of 1992, on the initiative of David Rockefeller and under the chairmanship of his “right hand”, the Canadian oil magnate and politician Maurice Strong.

Its full name was “the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests”, and it was adopted by 178 Governments. The majority of them probably had no clue of what its real purpose was.

It was an agenda built on the 100% false claim that the world was in dire danger from man-made “global warming”, caused by the human and livestock populations. And promoted with the help of a fear-mongering campaign, commissioned from former US vice president Al Gore, none of whose scary predictions are occurring. Contrary to what globalist media ́s fake news tries to make you believe.

The idea of global warming justifying world government goes all the way back to 1968 when the Club of Rome was formed by David Rockefeller and two others. The next step on that road was the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm in June 1972 when Olof Palme was Prime Minister of Sweden. Incidentally the Rio conference in June 1992 was programmed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Stockholm conference which had also been organized by Maurice Strong on behalf of David Rockefeller.

Another “climate conference” was held in Stockholm in June of 2022, to celebrate the 50-years anniversary of the original Stockholm conference of 1972.

The UN, the EU, and many similar organizations were all created on a Rockefeller initiative for the ultimate purpose of creating a New World Order with One Global Government.

2) In 1992 the World Economic Forum began a program to train people from all over the world who already were, or aspired to become, politicians or high-level public servants.

The secret goal was to infiltrate the governments and centers of power in every country in the world with ambitious and obedient globalist puppets, much like “Manchurian candidates”.

They would grasp the power to execute the global coup in their respective country, ordering lockdowns and making sure everybody was duly “vaccinated”. All of it supported by an intense fear campaign, whipped up by globally controlled mainstream media.

Some public figures considered powerful influencers in business, sports, entertainment etc, were also included among the trainees. Notably the people controlling Facebook and YouTube.

Even members of royal families were recruited. King Charles III of the United Kingdom, while still Prince of Wales, is one of them, and so are the heirs to the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian thrones.

To date many thousand ”young” men and women aged between 38 and 44 have completed this training, directly aimed at getting them elected as presidents or prime ministers, or appointed ministers or heads of important government departments in every country of the world. They are instructed to betray their constituents who trusted them enough to vote for them, and instead obey orders from WEF. Orders that violate constitutions and legal protection of citizens, along with inalienable human rights and freedoms. Not to mention political party programs that got them elected into power. In actual fact, this amounts to High Treason and Genocide.

Here are some of the governments around the world that have been infiltrated and “infected” by the WEF virus:

The USA, Canada, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Argentina, Costa Rica, Haiti, Australia, New Zealand, Tanzania and South Africa, some more virulently than others. The list is far from complete.

Jurisdictions and judges have also been infiltrated, so that attempts by brave people to prosecute the traitors are set to fail.

Besides WEF´s network targeting government levels, they also have in place a global network of young people called Global Shapers who work on provincial and municipal levels to push for Agenda 2030. There are over 10,000 of them working via nearly 500 “hubs” in 149 countries!

Sweden was, surprisingly, one of the first countries to get a kind of globalist puppet regime under Carl Bildt, already in 1990, even before the WEF ́s Young Global Leaders program was formally initiated in 1992.

3) Meanwhile, a global consolidation of media outlets, both TV channels and press, has been going on by globalist media consortiums, to the point that now almost all media all over the world are owned by only six multi-billionaire owner consortiums, all of which are aggressively in the globalist camp. The same goes for the news agencies, like Reuter ́s and Associated Press (AP), whose news are copied word for word by media all over the world.

That ́s how the response to the created Covid “pandemic” could be so swift and coordinated in implementing uncalled for dictatorial restrictions and control measures all over the world. Measures that in many cases directly violated both generally accepted scientific opinion, human rights, current laws, and even the very constitutions of their respective countries. Purposefully wrecking the world economy, and the personal economy of all but the wealthy.

4) Part of the plan was to infiltrate Muslim communities, via imams, mosques and schools, to create fanaticism that would cause conflicts.

This provides false culprits for false-flag state terrorism, such as 9/11, and justifies increased control and restrictions.

Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset, whose whereabouts was known at all times.

He was not brutally murdered by Obama and Hillary on foreign soil without any proof of guilt or legal procedure, as they bragged all those years later. The reason for that publicity stunt and the time chosen for it, will have been to gain popular support as national heroes in the then upcoming presidential elections.

Osama died from kidney disease. The videos later shown with him were fakes.

The other side of this coin – the strategy to rule by dividing – “Divide et impera” – is to plant fear and hatred in western populations against Muslims through media reporting, in order to get public support for aggressions against Muslim countries. This has been going on since 1990, beginning with the first Gulf war and the creation, by the CIA and Pentagon, of the false flag Al Qaida terrorist organization they could then blame for their own secret terrorist acts.

In 1990 Papa Bush orchestrated the first “Gulf war”, invading Iraq after inciting Saddam Hussein to claim part of Kuweit – That was a signal for “the West” to start looking at Muslim countries as enemies, even when they had previously been allies. All to satisfy Israel. Big exception being Saudi Arabia. Follow the money! And don ́t forget that it was the US that installed and supported Saddam Hussein as dictator of Iraq. And that Saddam had dutifully fought a long and dirty proxy war with Iran on behalf of the US, Britain and Israel. 

It ́s also only since 1990 that Muslim fundamentalism has flourished with demands for Sharia law, terrorist attacks, certain dress requirements for women, such as always wearing Hijab, even for little girls in elementary school.

1990 is also when terrorist acts became more common. In my opinion the vast majority of them have been “planted” by CIA or other US-sponsored organizations. Each such event has offered the US globalists a new justification to increase control, restrictions and prohibitions, which are imposed on other countries as well, and move us all one step closer to the final takeover by the New World Order.

All this fits in with US General Wesley Clark’s revelation in 2003 of the plan by the US Ministry of “Defense” to “take out” seven (7) Muslim countries within five years in the Middle East and North- Eastern Africa. Starting with Iraq and finishing with Iran. Not counting Afghanistan.

Now we see how this global coup has been planned, step by step, pervading every government, including provincial, municipal and NGO levels, in nearly all signatory countries of Agendas 21 and 2030.

Fortunately for Russia and the world, the US plan failed that assumed they could just step in and take over the entire Soviet Empire with all its vast resources. They had not counted on Yeltsin appointing Putin his successor in a moment of soberness, when he realized what the Americans were trying to do with his Russia. But the NWO launch had been done 10 years previously, and the project proceeded as scheduled in spite of Russia, 9/11 and all, till the crucial Covid moment in late 2019 – early 2020.

Losing control of Russia was a shock to the US  doctrine  for global supremacy and total domination, and now we understand why the US Deep State hates Putin with such venomous intensity. Simply because he defended his country and stopped the US from taking over and destroying it. Without a single shot, and without destroying a single other country.

Compare that to the long list av countries the US has destroyed, and the millions upon millions of innocent people who have died or had their lives entirely ruined by the American war machine in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere.

Putin’s surgically measured invasion of Ukraine was directly and intentionally provoked by the Biden government on behalf of the globalist mafia. After two decades of  continuous aggressive provocations by NATO. Far from unprovoked as Western globalist media claim.

NATO has expanded to almost twice its size after the collapse of the Soviet empire, in blatant violation of a formal promise by the US not to move it a single inch to the East of Germany. NATO, no longer a defence organisation, has been creeping right up to the Russian frontiers with nuclear missile ramps and tried to achieve power or control over neighboring former Soviet republics, set up by the West as independent border states around Russia upon the dissolution of the Soviet empire. 

Western media driving the NWO narrative hide the fact that the US government staged a coup in Ukraine in 2014 against democratically elected President Yanukovych, who had to flee to Russia to save his life. Instead, the present president Zelenskyy was installed by the US government which de facto rules Ukraine since then. It has brought vast amounts of U/S weaponry including nuclear-abled missiles right up to the Russian border, not far from Moscow.

To get a perspective on this, imagine how the US would react, if Putin did the same thing on the US border with Canada or Mexico!

One aspect of Washington´s war-provoking policies is the fact that most people behind political decisions of the US, all make billions on every war, as shareholders of the weapons industries, and they always make sure all their wars are on different continents from their own. From their safe US mansions they have been heard calling US soldiers “dumb cannon fodder”, as they are sent to die in other parts of the world so that their stock market profits may multiply.

Putin has respected international conventions and treaties, as opposed to the US. He has also patiently tried to get to terms with the US through reason and negotiations, but the US has refused to negotiate. It has continued its breech of agreements and relentless provocations until Putin saw no other way to protect his people and country than invading Ukraine,  toot to conquer it, but to 

1)  defend ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, who have been subject to relentless warfare, bordering on genocide, by the US-controlled Ukraine government ever since the US took over by the coup in 2014.

2)  close down the many bioweapon laboratories the US has established, funded and partially staffed in Ukraine, some of them also very close to the Russian border. Which he tries to do as carefully as possible, respecting the safety of the civilian population. Contrary to globalist propaganda.

As we now well know, the first victim of a war is the Truth.

These laboratories work on illegal biological warfare, outlawed by international agreements. And they are clearly directed against the Russian people. It has been leaked that one of the things these high-risk laboratories are working with, is infectious agents that only attack specific ethnicities or genotypes, and are airborne, even spread by mosquitoes. And it is known that these laboratories have been collecting Russian DNAs. This is in the category of genocide and crimes against Humanity.

Agenda 2030 is the first major interim goal on the way to completing Agenda 21, which refers to the entire 21st century.

Fascinating how globalists plan for centuries ahead, isn’t it? Do they think they will become immortal before that, so they can enjoy it in their present body? I wouldn’t be surprised. I know some have bought a new service to have their dead bodies frozen in the expectation of a new technology that can eventually wake them up from death and rejuvenate them to a new digitally turned-on existence.  What a waste of money!

Some of the plans of the WEF globalist mafia have leaked out and become common knowledge among those of us who have access to independent truthful information.

Still very few realize the true purpose of the “vaccines”. Apart from that of gradually killing us off, and make the rest infertile.

The prime reason to stage the fake “pandemic” was to force “every man, woman and child on the planet” to get “vaccinated”.

The truth is that these “vaccines” are NOT vaccines at all. They do not correspond to the established medical definition of a vaccine, nor to its legal definition. Besides, it has now been acknowledged that they neither prevent those injected from catching Covid or any other type of influenza, nor prevent them from spreading the infection.

Regardless, and in spite of a massive number of deaths and serious health injuries caused by these injections, WEF-hijacked health authorities everywhere keep trying to force everybody to get injected with them, not just once, nor twice. In Sweden we are at our 5th “shot” for the ”elderly and frail”, if I haven ́t lost count. And now the tune is “new season, new injection”, every 4 months. 

Moderna, one of the “vaccine” manufacturers sponsored by the US government, has called it “a biological operating system” and it is a new kind of genetic manipulation technique the long term consequences of which have NOT been investigated, and are impossible to know. Quite apart from the fact that some of the ingredients are kept secret!

What HAS become known by independent analysis – though of course denied by its pushers – is that it contains electronic self-assembling nano-particles, not declared on the list of ingredients, able to both receive and send all kinds of signals and information by 5G frequencies. Which is why the Internet of Things now is called The Internet of Things and Bodies!

So, dear friends, the true purpose of this WEF coup, is to reduce the world population – and especially the non-white, undeveloped “useless eaters” whom they no longer need in their world, since the vast majority of all jobs are now done by robots, computers and AI software, which do the work faster, better and cheaper. And they don ́t have families, nor need to eat, sleep, rest or take holidays. Or stage protests.

The few people allowed to survive to serve the WEF “Elite” will “own nothing and be happy” as they are crammed on top of each other in minute apartments in new “smart cities”.

Holy Nature will be off limits for all, except the “Elite” themselves, who will be free to rape it for their own gain or pleasure. All according to Agenda 2030, which practically all governments have agreed to.

The globalist rulers leave nothing to chance: the self-assembling electromagnetic nanobots they secretly inserted into their “vaccines” give them complete control of everybody. Via the 5G technology they are now able to send subtle signals to influence our moods, health, beliefs, feelings etc., either collectively or individually, and even “turn us off” when we no longer serve any purpose for them. In other words kill us.

We are all now frogs in a fast heating water pot, about to reach the boiling point of no return. Do we decide to jump out of that pan we ́ve been lured into, before we are cooked and consumed for dinner by the coup-maker globalist “Elite”?

Roll-out of 5G must be stopped!

5G relies primarily on the bandwidth of the millimetre wave which is known to cause a painful burning sensation. It’s also been linked to eye and heart problems, suppressed immune function, genetic damage and fertility problems.

The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) admits no 5G safety studies have been conducted or funded by the agency or telecom industry, and that none are planned.

The FCC has been captured by the telecom industry, which in turn has perfected the disinformation strategies employed by the tobacco industry before it.

Persistent exposures to microwave frequencies like those from mobile or cell phones can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and nuclear DNA damage from free radicals produced from peroxynitrite.

Excessive exposure to cell phones and Wi-Fi networks has been linked to chronic diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, autism, Alzheimer’s and infertility. By Rhoda Wilson on August 12, 2022

MF And RF Radiation is a Growing Health Risk, Roll-Out of 5G Must Be Stopped
By Dr. Joseph Mercola

Exposure to electromagnetic fields (“EMF”) and radiofrequency (“RF”) radiation is an ever-growing health risk in the modern world. The Cellular Phone Task Force website1 has a long list of governments and organisations that have issued warnings or banned wireless technologies of various kinds and under various circumstances, starting in 1993.

Another long list of organisations representing doctors and scientists are also among them, including an appeal for protection from non-ionising EMF exposure by more than 230 international EMF scientists to the United Nations in 2015, which notes that:2

    “Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines.

    Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system,3,4,5 learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”

A call for a moratorium on 5G specifically was issued in September 2017 by more than 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries,6,7 “until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry,” noting that “RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful to humans and the environment,” and that “5G will substantially increase exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on top of the 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. for telecommunications already in place.”

In an article8 on the Environmental Health Trust’s website, Ronald Powell, PhD, a retired Harvard scientist of applied physics, notes “there is NO SAFE WAY to implement 5G in our communities; rather there are only ‘bad ways’ and ‘worse ways,'” and rather than argue about who should have control over its deployment, we should focus on preventing its employment altogether.
Health Concerns Over 5G Abound

Wall Street analyst Sunil Rajgopal also warned that mounting health concerns may delay the implementation of 5G.9 Some countries have already taken steps to slow 5G deployment due to health risks, Rajgopal notes. The question is, can it be stopped?

5G testing was halted in Brussels, Belgium,10 and Switzerland are delaying its 5G rollout to create a system to monitor radiation.11 Syracuse, New York, is also attempting to set up some safeguards and has “negotiated the right to conduct on-demand safety inspections of 5G antennas,” to allay public concerns.12 According to Forbes:13

    “In New Hampshire, lawmakers are considering establishing a commission to study the health impacts of 5G networks. And Mill Valley, Calif., near San Francisco, last year banned new 5G wireless cells.”

Many other areas, however, have chosen to trust the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and the wireless industry trade association, CTIA, which has created a “Cell phone Health Facts” website citing research showing no risk. However, if you believe the FCC is assessing health risks, you’d be wrong.

At a Senate commerce hearing (above), the FCC admitted that no 5G safety studies have been conducted or funded by the agency or the telecom industry and that none are planned.14,15 In a speech given at the National Press Club in June 2016, Tom Wheeler, former FCC chairman and prior head of the wireless industry lobbying group, made the agency’s stance clear when he said:16

    “Stay out of the way of technological development. Unlike some countries, we do not believe we should spend the next couple of years studying … Turning innovators loose is far preferable to letting committees and regulators define the future. We won’t wait for the standards …”

In light of the more than 2,000 studies showing a wide range of biological harm from EMFs, assurances from the FCC and the US Food and Drug Administration that wireless radiation exposures, including 5G, is safe, seem disingenuous at best. As noted in a Counterpunch article:17

    “Telecom lobbyists assure us that guidelines already in place are adequate to protect the public. Those safety guidelines, however, are based on a 1996 study of how much a cell phone heated the head of an adult-sized plastic mannequin. This is problematic, for at least three reasons:

    1. living organisms consist of highly complex and interdependent cells and tissue, not plastic.

    2. those being exposed to radiofrequency radiation include foetuses, children, plants, and wildlife – not just adult male humans.

    3. the frequencies used in the mannequin study were far lower than the exposures associated with 5G.”

Even so, in 2022, substantial research on EMF safety has yet to be done. In fact, as of August 1, 2022, of more than 35,000 articles on EMFs, only seven have been medical or biological studies.18 However, “none of these studies modulated or pulsed the signal as required by 5G or used other features of 5G technology,” according to Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD, director for the Centre of Family and Community Health School of Public Health at UC Berkeley.19
What Level of EMF Can Humans Withstand?

EMF exposure at many biological impacting frequencies, such as those that run cell phones and Wi-Fi, has increased about 1 quintillion times over the past 100 years.20,21 Unfortunately, EMF exposure is so widespread these days, that it’s virtually impossible to conduct controlled population studies anymore, as no population is truly unexposed or unaffected. This lack of a control group makes it very difficult to determine what the real-world effects are.

That said, one controlled exposure study has been done, revealing it’s nowhere near as harmless as people think. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were two populations in the United States — rural and urban. Urban areas were by and large electrified, while rural areas were not electrified until around 1950.

Dr. Sam Milham, an epidemiologist, painstakingly analysed mortality statistics between these two populations over time, clearly showing there was a wide difference in mortality from heart disease, cancer and diabetes between these two groups. Then, as rural areas became electrified, the two curves merged.

Today, we not only live and work in electrified surroundings, but we’re also surrounded by microwaves from wireless technologies. Soon, 5G may be added to the mix, making exposures all the more complex and potentially harmful. As noted by Counterpunch:22

    “5G radiofrequency (RF) radiation uses a ‘cocktail’ of three types of radiation, ranging from relatively low-energy radio waves, microwave radiation with far more energy, and millimetre waves with vastly more energy …

    The extremely high frequencies in 5G are where the biggest danger lies. While 4G frequencies go as high as 6 GHz, 5G exposes biological life to pulsed signals in the 30 GHz to 100 GHz range. The general public has never before been exposed to such high frequencies for long periods of time.”

Health Concerns Linked to 5G Exposure

The added concern 5G brings is the addition of the millimetre wave (“MMW”). This bandwidth, which runs from 30 gigahertz (GHz) to 300GHz,23 is known to penetrate up to 2 millimetres into human skin tissue,24,25 causing a burning sensation.

This is precisely why MMW was chosen for use in crowd control weapons (Active Denial Systems) by the US Department of Defense.26 MMW is also used in so-called “naked body scanners” at airports.27

Research has shown sweat ducts in human skin act as receptors or antennae for 5G radiation, drawing the radiation into the body,28,29,30,31,32 thereby causing a rise in temperature. This in part helps explain the painful effect. As noted by Dr. Yael Stein — who has studied 5G MMW technology and its interaction with the human body — in a 2016 letter to the Federal Communications Commission:33

    “Computer simulations have demonstrated that sweat glands concentrate sub-terahertz waves in human skin. Humans could sense these waves as heat. The use of sub-terahertz (millimetre wave) communications technology (cell phones, Wi-Fi, antennas) could cause humans to percept physical pain via nociceptors.

    Potentially, if 5G Wi-Fi is spread in the public domain we may expect more of the health effects currently seen with RF/ microwave frequencies including many more cases of hypersensitivity (“EHS”), as well as many new complaints of physical pain and a yet unknown variety of neurologic disturbances.

    It will be possible to show a causal relationship between G5 technology and these specific health effects. The affected individuals may be eligible for compensation.”

MMW has also been linked to:34,35,36,37,38

    Eye problems such as lens opacity in rats, which is linked to the production of cataracts,39 and eye damage in rabbits40,41
    Impacted heart rate variability, an indicator of stress, in rats42,43,44 and heart rate changes (arrhythmias) in frogs45,46
    Pain47
    Suppressed immune function48
    Depressed growth and increased antibiotic resistance in bacteria49

As noted in a Gaia.com article:50

    “Many scientists understand that the electromagnetic radiation leaking through the doors of our microwave ovens are carcinogenic, and therefore, can cause cancer. Most of these scientists also believe that these waves are mutagenic, meaning they change the DNA structure of living beings.51

    The launch of 5G will be similar to turning on your microwave, opening its door, and leaving it on for the rest of your life. There’s good reason why hundreds of scientists are taking action against the wireless industry.”

Understanding EMFs’ Mechanisms of Harm

As explained by Martin Pall, PhD, Professor Emeritus of biochemistry and basic medical sciences at Washington State University, the primary danger of EMFs, in general, is that it causes excess oxidative stress that results in mitochondrial dysfunction.

According to Pall’s research,52,53,54,55 radiofrequency microwave radiation such as that from your cell phone and wireless router activates the voltage-gated calcium channels (“VGCCs”) located in the outer membrane of your cells.

According to Pall, VGCCs are 7.2 million times more sensitive to microwave radiation than the charged particles inside and outside our cells, which means the safety standards for this exposure are off by a factor of 7.2 million.

Low-frequency microwave radiation opens your VGCCs, thereby allowing an abnormal influx of calcium ions into the cell, which in turn activates nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide which react nearly instantaneously to form peroxynitrite56 that then causes carbonate free radicals, which are one of the most damaging reactive nitrogen species known and thought to be a root cause for many of today’s chronic diseases.

For an in-depth understanding of peroxynitrites and the harm they inflict, see “Nitric Oxide and Peroxynitrite in Health and Disease”57 — a 140-page free access paper with 1,500 references written by Dr. Pal Pacher, Joseph Beckman and Dr. Lucas Liaudet.

One of its most significant hazards of peroxynitrite is that it damages DNA. The European REFLEX study published in 2004 revealed the nonthermal effects of 2G and 3G radiation are actually very similar to the effects of X-rays in terms of the genetic damage they cause.58

Your body has the capacity to repair that damage through a family of 17 different enzymes collectively called poly ADP ribose polymerases (PARP). However, while PARP work well, they require NAD+ for fuel and when they run out of NAD+ they stop repairing your DNA.

This in turn can lead to premature cell death, since 100 to 150 NAD+ molecules are needed to repair a single DNA strand break. NAD+ is central to maintaining cellular and mitochondrial health, so the fact that PARP consumes NAD+ to counteract EMF damage is an important concern.
Cancer Is Not the Primary Health Risk of EMF

The voltage in your body appears to play a significant role in health and disease. Your body’s production of electricity allows your cells to communicate and perform basic biological functions necessary for your survival. However, your body is designed to operate at very specific levels and frequencies.

It seems logical that being surrounded by man-made EMFs that are 1 quintillion times higher than the natural EMF environment of the Earth may interfere with your DNA’s ability to receive and transmit biological signals.

While the controversy over EMF damage has centred around whether or not it can cause cancer, especially brain tumours, this actually isn’t your greatest concern. Since the damage is strongly linked to activation of your VGCCs, it stands to reason that areas where VGCCs are the densest would be most vulnerable to damage.

As it happens, the highest density of VGCCs is found in your nervous system, your brain, the pacemaker in your heart and male testes. As a result, EMFs are likely to contribute to neurological and neuropsychiatric59 problems, heart and reproductive problems.

This includes but is not limited to cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, autism, Alzheimer’s and infertility. Indeed, this is what researchers keep finding, and all of these health problems are far more prevalent and kill more people than brain cancer.

What’s more, seeing how many are already struggling with electromagnetic hypersensitivity, saturating cities and suburban areas with MMW radiation will undoubtedly make the problem more widespread, and make life unbearable for those already feeling the effects of wireless radiation.
Media Ploy to Detract From 5G Concerns: Blame the Russians

In a Medium article,60 Devra Davis, PhD. — a well-respected and credentialed researcher on the dangers of cell phone radiation — highlights a media trend of writing off scientists who warn about 5G dangers by labelling them “untethered alarmists … linked to Russian propaganda.”

“Could it be a coincidence that following on the heels of the NY Times story, the Wall Street Journal and the UK Telegraph have echoed the same smear of guilt by association,” she writes,61 adding:

    “These otherwise credible media sources ignore the substantial body of science pinpointing hazards of wireless radiation and 5G detailed in independent journalistic investigations that have appeared extensively in media throughout Europe and been covered by major networks …

    Could the failure to report these critical 5G issues and correct misleading information regarding health effects of wireless and 5G in the New York Times have anything to do with the their new joint venture with Verizon in 5G journalism, or the fact that the Times board of directors includes officials from Facebook, Verizon, Media Lab, and other stalwarts of the telecom industry, while Carlos Slim, head of some of the largest telecom firms in the world, has downsized and now owns just 15 per cent of its stock?”

Davis also points out a clear difference between American and Russian scientific expertise with regard to EMF:

    “The history of research on the environmental and public health impacts of radio frequency microwave radiation (‘wireless radiation’) reveals some uneasy parallels with that of tobacco.

    In the 1950s and 1960s, scientists who showed the harmful impacts of tobacco found themselves struggling for serious attention and financial support. The validity of their views was only accepted after the toll of sickness and death had become undeniable.

    For health impacts from wireless radiation, a similar pattern is emerging. Each time a US government agency produced positive findings, research on health impacts was defunded.

    The Office of Naval Research, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the Environmental Protection Agency all once had vibrant research programs documenting dangers of wireless radiation. All found their programs scrapped, reflecting pressure from those who sought to suppress this work.

    Russia’s 50 years of research on electromagnetic radiation since the Cold War has led to their clear understanding that this exposure does have biological effects. The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection issued a 2011 Resolution62 recommending persons under 18 not use a cell phone.”

Brain Cancer Risk Is Likely Real

While heart disease, dementia and infertility overshadow the risk of brain cancer, the possibility of cancer still remains and may be a far more significant concern for young children who are growing up surrounded by wireless technologies than we realise.

The fact is, we won’t know for sure whether in utero and early cell phone use will increase brain cancer rates until a decade or two from now when today’s youths have grown up. Mounting research suggests cell phone radiation certainly influences your risk, and there are a number of compelling anecdotal reports that are hard to ignore.

In her article,63 Davis mentions Robert C. Kane, a senior telecom engineer “had willingly served as a guinea pig for Motorola and other companies developing new wireless technologies in the 1980s.”

He developed a type of malignant brain cancer the National Toxicology Program later confirmed was a side effect of cell phone radiation exposure (see video above). The NTPs results were published in 2018. Before his death in 2002, Kane published the book, “Cell phone Radiation — Russian Roulette, “64 in which he stated that:65

    “Never in human history has there been such a practice as we now encounter with the marketing and distributing of products hostile to the human biological system by an industry with foreknowledge of those effects.”

FCC Is a Captured Agency That Cannot Be Trusted

Davis also highlights another crucial problem, namely the fact that the FCC has been captured by the telecom industry, which in turn has perfected the disinformation strategies employed by the tobacco industry before it. She writes:66

    “… [I]n 2015 a Harvard expose tracked the revolving door between the FCC and the telecom industry and concluded that the FCC is a captured agency and that ‘Consumer safety, health, and privacy, along with consumer wallets, have all been overlooked, sacrificed, or raided due to unchecked industry influence.'”

The book in question is “Captured Agency: How the Federal Communications Commission Is Dominated by the Industries It Presumably Regulates,” written by investigative journalist Norm Alster.67

As just one example, before his role as FCC chairman, Wheeler headed up the CTIA, which is the lobbying group for the wireless industry, which explains his commentary on 5G and why the FCC doesn’t believe in studying its health risks and “won’t wait for the standards.”

The book also shows how the telecom industry is manipulating public opinion by undermining the credibility of scientists that speak of dangers, cutting funds for research, publishing manipulated studies showing no harm and claiming “scientific consensus” of no harm when no such consensus actually exists. Naturally, the telecom industry also spends millions of dollars lobbying the FCC on issues that might impact its bottom line.68
5G Threatens Weather Prediction

Interestingly, aside from potential health ramifications, a global 5G network will also threaten our ability to predict weather which, in addition to putting civilians at risk will also jeopardise the Navy.69 According to a paper70 in the journal Nature, widespread 5G coverage will prevent satellites from detecting changes in water vapour, which is how meteorologists predict weather changes and storms.

Davis quotes71 Stephen English, a meteorologist at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts: “This is the first time we’ve seen a threat to what I’d call the crown jewels of our frequencies — the ones that we absolutely must defend come what may.”

Alas, the FCC ignores such concerns and, according to Davis, “weather experts within the US government are being muzzled.” In a letter to the FCC, Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., urge the agency to rein in the expansion of wireless communications in the 24 GHz band for this reason.72
Educate Yourself About the Health Risks of 5G

My book, “EMF*D: 5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones: Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself,” talks about EMF dangers, with a comprehensive resource on current technologies such as:

    What EMFs (electromagnetic fields) actually are, where you find them in your daily life, and how they affect you
    The toll that EMFs have been proven to take in conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neuropsychiatric illnesses
    Why you’ve been largely kept in the dark about this threat to your health
    How you can actually repair the damage done by EMFs at a cellular level
    Practical strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones from EMFs at home, at work, and out in the world

You can also download a two-page 5G fact sheet73 from the Environmental Health Trust. On their website, you can also access a long list of published scientific studies showing cause for concern.74

To reduce your EMF exposure, read through the suggestions below and implement as many of them as possible. Additional guidance and solutions for mitigating electric and magnetic fields can also be found at the end of “Healthy Wiring Practices, “75 a document created by building biologist Oram Miller, whom I’ve interviewed on this topic.
Night time remediation
Use Stetzer or Greenwave filters to remove voltage transients from your electricity and use meters to confirm that they are in a safe range.
Use a battery-powered alarm clock, ideally one without any light. I use a talking clock for the visually impaired.76
Consider moving your baby’s bed into your room instead of using a wireless baby monitor. Alternatively, use a hard-wired monitor.
If you must use Wi-Fi, shut it off when not in use, especially at night when you are sleeping. Ideally, work toward hardwiring your house so you can eliminate Wi-Fi altogether. It’s important to realise that if you have a Wi-Fi router, you have a cell phone tower inside your home. Ideally, you’d eliminate your Wi-Fi and simply use a wired Ethernet connection. If you absolutely must have a router, you can place it inside a shielded bag when not in use. You can find shielded items online, or make your own using Swiss Shield fabric. If you have a notebook without any Ethernet ports, a USB Ethernet adapter will allow you to connect to the internet with a wired connection.
For more extensive shielding, you can consider painting your bedroom walls and ceiling with special shielding paint, which will block RF from outside sources, such as cell towers, smart meters and radio/TV towers. Windows can be covered with metal window screens or film. For your bed, consider a shielding bed canopy.
Daytime strategies to reduce unnecessary EMF exposure
To reduce EMF exposure during the daytime, consider using Stetzer filters to decrease the level of dirty electricity or electromagnetic interference being generated. You can also take these with you to work or when you travel. This may be the single best strategy to reduce the damage from EMF exposure since it appears that most of it is generated by the frequencies that the filters remove.
Connect your desktop computer to the internet via a wired Ethernet connection and be sure to put your desktop in aeroplane mode. Also avoid wireless keyboards, trackballs, mice, game systems, printers and portable house phones. Opt for the wired versions.
Avoid carrying your cell phone on your body unless in aeroplane mode and never sleep with it in your bedroom unless it is in aeroplane mode. Even in aeroplane mode, it can emit signals, which is why I put my phone in a Faraday bag.77 They are inexpensive and only $10 for two of them. I tested them and they are highly effective at blocking radiation.
When using your cell phone, use the speaker phone and hold the phone at least 3 feet away from you. Seek to radically decrease your time on the cell phone. I typically use my cell phone less than 30 minutes a month, and mostly when travelling. Instead, use VoIP software phones that you can use while connected to the internet via a wired connection, or better yet, use a landline telephone.
General household remediation
If you still use a microwave oven, consider replacing it with a steam convection oven, which will heat your food as quickly and far more safely.
Avoid using “smart” appliances and thermostats that depend on wireless signalling. This would include all new “smart” TVs. They are called smart because they emit a Wi-Fi signal and, unlike your computer, you cannot shut the Wi-Fi signal off. Consider using a large computer monitor as your TV instead, as they don’t emit Wi-Fi.
Replace CFL bulbs with incandescent bulbs. Ideally, remove all fluorescent lights from your house. Not only do they emit unhealthy light, but more importantly, they will actually transfer current to your body just being close to the bulbs.
Dimmer switches are another source of dirty electricity, so consider installing regular on/off switches rather than dimmer switches.
Refuse smart meters as long as you can, or add a shield to an existing smart meter, some of which have been shown to reduce radiation by 98% to 99%.78
