Globalist-linked think tank simulated monkey pox outbreak – in 2021

  • As early as March 2021, the Washington-based Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) conducted a simulated exercise in which a modified monkeypox virus spreads worldwide, killing hundreds of millions of people.
  • One of NTI's main profiles is CNN founder and multi-billionaire Ted Turner, who is active in a small closed circle called "The Good Club" alongside notorious ultra-globalists Bill Gates, David Rockefeller and George Soros, among others.
  • Many are now drawing parallels to the infamous Event 201 exercise, when the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation held a coronavirus pandemic exercise in New York in October 2019, months before the reported outbreak of covid-19 in Wuhan, China.

On May 6, 2022, the UK announced that a British citizen visiting the Nigerian capital of Lagos had been infected with the viral disease monkeypox. In the following weeks, cases were reported in several countries around the world. On May 19, Sweden reported its first confirmed case.

A large proportion of those infected are believed to be homosexual men. The virus, which was discovered in 1958, is spread through saliva, feces and wound fluids. Most of the outbreaks documented to date have started in the rainforests of Africa, where local people have come into contact with infected animals in various ways.

In recent days, policymakers in several countries have indicated that measures similar to those introduced during the covid-19 epidemic may be reinstated. Belgium has already imposed a three-week mandatory quarantine on infected persons and believes that the virus is already circulating in the population. Belgian authorities expect many new cases in the coming weeks. The World Health Organization has also expressed concern about the virus outbreak.

The simulation: Hundreds of millions dead

The influential Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) seems to have had a good idea of what was going on. In March 2021, during a security conference in Munich, a pandemic exercise was conducted in which a monkeypox outbreak was simulated to spread rapidly around the world and cause hundreds of millions of deaths.

The virus outbreak in the simulation took place in May 2022, with 1421 confirmed cases and four deaths in the first 20 days. In the scenario, the virus continued to spread rapidly around the world, and after six months, 83 countries were affected, 70 million cases were reported, and 1.3 million people died from the virus. One year later, 480 million people had been infected and 27 million had died, and after 1.5 years, 3.2 billion people had been infected and 271 million had died.

Notably, the origin of the virus in the simulation was not natural, but a modified virus, a terrorist attack designed to achieve maximum transmission and resistance to vaccines.

Description of the scenario played out in the exercise

The organization: “Completely by chance”

The fact that the NTI organized a pandemic exercise with a fictitious outbreak of monkeypox, which in the scenario takes place almost at the same time as the actual outbreak, has raised some eyebrows. However, the organization itself states that the risks of the monkeypox virus “have been well documented by numerous health authorities for years. They note that outbreaks were recorded in Nigeria in 2017, and the United States has previously assessed that monkeypox could pose a “serious threat” to both animals and humans in the country.

According to NTI, an outbreak of monkeypox was simulated because “expert advisers” felt that this virus was well suited to a scenario focused on coordinated international action and developing “improvements in global capabilities to prevent and respond to pandemics”.

“The fact that several countries are currently experiencing an outbreak of monkeypox is purely a coincidence”, it says.

Parallels drawn with the infamous Covid exercise

This is not the first time such coincidences have occurred. In one of the newspaper’s most high-profile articles ever, Nya Dagbladet reported how American billionaire and globalist activist Bill Gates, through his foundation, organized a pandemic exercise with the Johns Hopkins Center and the World Economic Forum, simulating the global spread of a coronavirus, just months before the outbreak of the Covid epidemic.

The Nuclear Threat Initiative officially describes itself as a non-profit organization that works to prevent “current and future threats”, such as attacks and accidents involving various forms of weapons of mass destruction – including chemical and biological ones.

The Nuclear Threat Initiative

NTI was founded in 2001 by Goldman Sachs-backed US Senator Sam Nunn and multi-billionaire media mogul Ted Turner, founder of CNN. Turner is also known for spending billions of dollars of his personal fortune to reduce global population growth.

The organization's board of directors includes a number of other prominent figures, including former US Ambassador Jon M. Huntsman, Admiral Mike Mullen, former military advisor to Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Michael A. Peterson, son and heir of Peter G. Peterson, former US Secretary of Commerce and co-founder of the powerful Blackstone Group.

NTI is also affiliated with the globalist think tank, the World Economic Forum, and includes epidemiologist John Brownstein, who was widely used by the media as a medical expert during the covid era and won an Emmy for his participation in ABC's vaccine lobbying documentary, "The Shot: Race for the Vaccine".

One of NTI's top advisors is businessman and multi-billionaire Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world. In addition to Mr. Buffett, NTI's board includes many other influential figures in international politics and business.

There is also Swedish representation on the NTI board in the form of Rolf Ekéus - a diplomat and ambassador who also chaired the UN Special Commission that monitored Iraq's disarmament of weapons of mass destruction. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences in 2000 and has also chaired the Swedish Pugwash and SIPRI, which work for global disarmament and international peace.

Israel wants to expel Palestinians to Africa

The genocide in Gaza

Published yesterday 19:45

South Sudan's leader Salva Kiir Mayardit is reportedly willing to accept Palestinians in order to strengthen ties with Israel and the United States.
3 minute read

Israel has initiated discussions with South Sudan about expelling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the war-torn East African country.

The plans are described as an attempt at mass expulsion and ethnic cleansing following Israel’s 22-month-long invasion and have drawn strong criticism for violating international law and humanitarian principles.

Six sources with insight confirm to Associated Press that talks are ongoing, but it remains unclear how far they have actually progressed. The proposal involves moving Palestinians from one starvation zone to another, which according to analysts risks worsening the already very difficult humanitarian situation for Gaza’s population.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for what he himself claims is “voluntary migration”, and has previously proposed similar arrangements with other African countries.

— I think that the right thing to do, even according to the laws of war as I know them, is to allow the population to leave, and then you go in with all your might against the enemy who remains there, Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli TV channel i24 on Tuesday.

“Needs allies”

Palestinians and human rights organizations reject the plans, however, stating that it practically amounts to ethnic cleansing, where Israel could annex all of Gaza and reestablish Jewish settlements – a demand from far-right ministers in the government. Many Palestinians also fear they would never be allowed to return to their homeland.

For South Sudan, which has struggled with civil war, corruption and famine since independence in 2011, the agreement is seen as a way to strengthen ties with Israel and Trump. The country’s leadership hopes for eased sanctions and improved relations with the US.

— Cash-strapped South Sudan needs any ally, financial gain and diplomatic security it can get, says journalist Peter Martell, author of the book First Raise a Flag, which is about the African nation.

An Israeli delegation plans to visit the African country to investigate whether it is possible to establish camps for Palestinians, according to Joe Szlavik, founder of a lobbying company that works with the country.

Analysts point out that Israel is likely prepared to finance temporary camps in the country, but Edmund Yakani, leader of a South Sudanese civil society organization, warns of the consequences.

— South Sudan should not become a dumping ground for people. And it should not accept to take people as negotiating chips to improve relations, says Yakani.

Discussions with more African countries

Egypt opposes the plans to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza. They are concerned that this would lead to increased refugee flows from Gaza, which would negatively affect their own country.

Israel and the US have previously held talks with Sudan, Somalia and the self-declared region of Somaliland, all of which are struggling with war and famine. However, it is unclear how far these discussions have progressed.

Critics argue that the proposal to expel Palestinians from Gaza not only violates international law, but also ignores their right to their land.

Even though many Palestinians would likely consider leaving Gaza temporarily due to war and famine, South Sudan is also considered a particularly poor alternative – not only because the country is poor, chaotic and dysfunctional – but also because bloody ethnic and religious conflicts have long been ongoing in the region.

Trump deploys National Guard to “liberate” Washington

Donald Trump's USA

President Trump announces that 800 National Guard soldiers will initially be deployed to combat crime and restore order in Washington, DC.

At a press conference on Monday, US President Donald Trump announced a massive operation to combat crime in Washington, DC.

As part of the measures, the city’s police will be placed under federal control, and hundreds of National Guard soldiers will patrol the streets to make the city safer. Trump simultaneously warned that New York could be next for similar measures.

— I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor – and worse. This is liberation day in DC and we’re going to take our capital back, Trump said during a press conference at the White House.

The president expressed frustration over what he described as the growing crime in the city.

— Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people, Trump said and continued: “And we’re not going to let it happen anymore. We’re not going to take it”.

Trump noted that the operations would begin quickly, in the same way as the measures taken at the southern border to stop illegal immigration. “We’re going to clean it up real quick, like we did on the southern border”, he clarified.

“Will be tough”

According to US legislation, the Home Rule Act of 1973, the president has the right to take control of Washington’s police force for up to 30 days, with the possibility for Congress to extend the measures. The Trump administration has sent documents formalizing the takeover to Congress, and later in the day, DC’s police chief and other federal officials met to discuss next steps.

— This will be an opportunity for us to come together and collaborate on being able to go out and execute warrants, said MPD Police Chief Pamela Smith.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarified in an interview that the National Guard will not just be present but will act proactively in their operation.

— They will be strong, they will be tough and they will stand with their law enforcement partners., Hegseth said, adding: “If you take an action or a shot at them, there will be a consequence”.

“Doubled up on Baghdad”

Trump defended his decision and showed a chart during the press conference comparing murder statistics per capita in Washington, DC with the capitals of cocaine-exporting Colombia, Mexico and Iraq.

— We doubled up on Baghdad, he claimed, describing the situation as “completely unacceptable”.

— They’ll immediately begin massive enforcement operations targeting known gangs, drug dealers and criminal networks to get them the hell off the street, Trump said. He also suggested that certain criminals, whom he claimed came to the US illegally, will be deported.

— They come from Venezuela, they come from all over the world. We’re going to get them the hell out, he explained.

The National Guard will also assist in a larger operation to remove homeless camps from public places, including parks and underpasses.

— We’re getting rid of the slums, Trump promised and mentioned that beautifying the city’s public areas and repairing median strips and potholes are part of the operation.

“False numbers”

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is a Democrat, confirmed that she will comply with the federal operations but expressed concern that Trump’s decision represents a major interference in local self-governance.

I’m going to work every day to make sure it’s not a complete disaster, Bowser said, claiming to be particularly concerned about the presence of plainclothes law enforcement personnel.

— All law enforcement be identifiable by uniform, a badge, a jacket, so that people know that they are law enforcement.

Trump addressed the criticism and responded in his way.

— I know it’s not politically correct. We’re going to get them the hell out. They won’t be here long,

New York next?

Defense Secretary Hegseth also clarified that soldiers from other states will assist in the operation.

— They will be standing right alongside our federal agents, like they were in Los Angeles. They’re going to be proactive.

Trump also mentioned that he is looking at other cities that may need similar federal operations.

— You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is. We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem, Trump said, suggesting that more cities may receive federal support if the situation doesn’t improve.

The president also took the opportunity to express his long-term visions for the city.

— Washington, DC, should be one of the safest, cleanest and most beautiful cities anywhere in the world, and we’re going to make it that, Trump summarized and promised that he intends to “clean it up real quick”.

Chinese “pop-up houses” now available on Walmart and Amazon

To lift the smallest house, a forklift is sufficient - but for the larger ones, it's recommended that the buyer rent a crane.

Portable “pop-up houses” are now available for purchase on American retailers Walmart and Amazon. The houses are manufactured in China and come in several sizes and price ranges.

The houses, which are built from containers, are called “expandable prefab houses” and are created by Chinese company Chery Industrial. They can be purchased in various sizes, ranging from a simple office with bathroom that costs approximately €14,000, to a larger house with bedroom, living room and dining room along with bathroom and kitchen that costs around €24,500.

The pop-up houses can be bought on Amazon and also at American discount retailer Walmart, but it’s likely cheapest to buy directly from the manufacturer, reports Fortune.

The house can be packed up and becomes “container-sized,” according to the company. Delivery to the buyer is included, but the buyer is responsible for moving the house from the truck. This requires a forklift strong enough to lift the container house, but for the larger houses it’s recommended to rent a crane. The house is delivered folded up and then you need help from friends to unfold it.

Before purchasing, you need to have land to place the house on, but also plan for connecting water and electricity. Toilet and shower are included in most houses, but furniture you naturally choose yourself.

In recent years, so-called “tiny houses” have become a movement, particularly in the USA, where people advocate for more minimalism and simply living more simply with fewer possessions. Often the houses are portable, extremely small in size compared to regular houses, but also planned and well-thought-out in both structure and furnishing.

Vance: Americans are fed up with paying for the Ukraine war

The war in Ukraine

Published 11 August 2025

US Vice President-elect JD Vance believes that the EU must "play a bigger role" for what happens in its neighborhood.
2 minute read

US Vice President J.D. Vance states that the country is moving toward ending its economic support to Ukraine in the war against Russia.

At the same time, he emphasizes that he has nothing against Europe continuing to deliver American weapons to Kiev – as long as they pay for this themselves.

— I think the President, and I certainly think that America, we’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business. We want to bring about a peaceful settlement to this thing. We want to stop the killing, Vance said in an interview with Fox News, which aired on Sunday.

He emphasized that public opinion in the US no longer supports continued economic aid to Kiev.

— But Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict, Vance continued.

“Got to step up”

The Vice President did, however, leave the door open for the US having nothing against continued European military support to Ukraine – even where American weapons are involved – as long as this happens without American financing.

— But if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers. We’re okay with that, but we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore, he added.

The interview was recorded before the official announcement of President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week, but was aired in its entirety only on Sunday. Vance also repeated the Trump administration’s line that European countries must themselves bear greater responsibility for the war.

— What we said to the Europeans is simply: First of all, this is in your neck of the woods, this is in your back door. You guys got to step up and play a bigger role in this thing. And if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourselves, Vance explained.
