When future NATO chief Rutte was pressured over correspondence with Klaus Schwab

A visibly uncomfortable Mark Rutte was asked about his letter of thanks to ultra-globalist Klaus Schwab for the book Covid-19: The Great Reset during a hearing in the Dutch parliament in July 2021. The Dutch prime minister avoided answering questions about his own views on Schwab's book, calling them "conspiracy theories".


Please note that this article reflects events that took place back in July 2021. Today, Mark Rutte is set to become the new head of the NATO military alliance.


Gideon van Meijeren, a member of the Dutch parliament for the Forum for Democracy party, put Rutte in a very uncomfortable position during a hearing on July 14, 2021, when he pointed to correspondence between the prime minister and the notorious World Economic Forum director Klaus Schwab, in which Rutte thanks and praises him for his book Covid-19: The Great Reset.

– More and more people see that it is a big lie that the current corona measures are meant to protect public health, van Meijeren began.

– This begs the question: why are we pushing for all these terrible measures that will change our whole way of life and destroy our whole society? There are some influential globalists who, in their own words, see the coronavirus crisis as a great opportunity to 'restart' the world, which means they have a perverse incentive to drag this out. One of these globalists is Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum, who has also written a book with the striking title "Covid-19: The Great Reset". My question to the Prime Minister is: What is his assessment of the contents of this book?

Mark Rutte, Klaus Schwab and the cover of his book in the middle. Press play to see the full hearing in Parliament.

Mr. Rutte himself said that he is not familiar with the book and that the whole thing should be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

– I am not familiar with this book, but I would advise Mr. van Meijeren not to get too involved in all these conspiracy theories. I also see them on Youtube and I find it fascinating how they explain that 9/11 did not happen and different things. All very nicely put together, but usually it is what it is - a conspiracy theory.

Van Meijeren goes on to point out that Mark Rutte personally thanked Schwab for the book only about six months earlier, describing it as "a hopeful analysis for a better future".

– I am surprised that the first question I ask Mr. Rutte since I was elected is answered with a lie, because I have here a letter from Mr. Rutte to Klaus Schwab dated November 26, 2020, thanking him for sending the book and calling it "a hopeful analysis for a better future". Can Mr. Rutte search his memory, it is more than half a year ago, I don't know how long your memory is, but most likely it is still possible to recall this to answer my first question.

– Well, the honest answer is that this is a courtesy letter in which, even if you cannot read every book from cover to cover, you want to send an honest answer to the sender, Rutte explains himself.

– So the prime minister is saying that he did not lie to me, but to Klaus Schwab, van Meijeren ironizes.

Like many other European leaders, Mark Rutte has close ties to globalist power forums. In 2019, Rutte attended the high-profile Bilderberg meeting together with, among others, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson.

The Bilderberg meeting has been held annually since 1954, but was dismissed by the mainstream media as a "conspiracy theory" until a few years ago. Thanks largely to the reporting of independent citizen journalists, it is now widely acknowledged that the meeting has been taking place for many years, bringing together heavyweights from various sectors of society to discuss crucial issues behind closed doors.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Mr. Rutte is the new intended head of the NATO military alliance.

Facts: The Great Reset

The Great Reset is a technocratic totalitarian vision of society formulated by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum for how society will be transformed by the coronavirus crisis. The Great Reset was one of the themes of this year's Davos summit, attended by the highest powers of the EU, UN, WHO and IMF. Schwab also believes that the Great Reset is the solution to a future cyber crisis, which the World Economic Forum is practicing for under the project name Cyber Polygon.

EU wants to increase Sweden’s membership fee by 60 percent

The globalist agenda

Published yesterday 12:00 pm – By Editorial staff

The European Commission's budget proposal threatens to make Sweden's EU membership fee 60 percent more expensive. Swedish EU Minister Jessica Rosencrantz (M) calls the proposal "unrealistic".

The Commission's seven-year budget plan for 2028–2034 amounts to nearly €2,000 billion. Sweden's current fee is approximately €4 billion per year.

During Tuesday's ministerial meeting in Brussels, Jessica Rosencrantz, representing Sweden's center-right Moderate Party, distanced herself from the plans.

For Sweden, this means at least a 60 percent increase in fees. That is not realistic and many other countries face similar challenges, she told Swedish public radio.

Sweden, together with Austria, gathered several net contributors for breakfast before the meeting – countries that pay more into the EU budget than they receive back in support. Rosencrantz notes there is shared concern about how large the increases could be.

But unity was not complete. French Minister Benjamin Haddad made clear that Paris wants a larger budget, not least to secure agricultural subsidies.

The EU needs more own resources, Haddad stated.

He was referring to a system where money goes directly to Brussels without passing through national parliaments – something Sweden rejects.

The budget issue will be discussed at the summit in December, but a final decision is not expected until 2027.

Orbán: Poland has become a vassal of Brussels

The globalist agenda

Published November 3, 2025 – By Editorial staff
Relations between Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk (left) and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán are becoming increasingly toxic.

Relations between Viktor Orbán in Hungary and Donald Tusk in Poland are deepening into an open conflict over both EU influence and the war in Ukraine. Orbán argues that the Tusk problem goes far beyond bilateral disagreements — it's about Poland being given the role of Brussels' vassal state.

The Hungarian Prime Minister claims that Poland under Tusk has taken a dramatic step toward losing national autonomy and has also become a "vassal of Brussels".

"He has become one of the loudest warmongers in Europe – yet his war policy is failing: Ukraine is running out of European money, and the Polish people are tired of the war. He cannot change course because he has turned Poland into a vassal of Brussels", Orbán writes in a post on X.

Beyond the war in Ukraine, questions about the EU's role are also central to the conflict. Orbán has previously accused Brussels of playing an active role in helping Donald Tusk's EU-friendly government come to power in Poland.

Donald Tusk has in turn criticized Orbán for viewing "Brussels, democracy and a transparent rule of law are a problem", an attack that has further escalated tensions between the countries.

Shift in Polish public opinion

According to an opinion poll from the IBRiS institute, currently only 33.5 percent of Poles support Ukraine's NATO membership. This represents a shift that leads Orbán to claim that Europe is waking up, and that Polish public support for Ukraine is declining.

Donald Tusk, however, has declared the war in Ukraine as "our war", referring to the fact that the future of Poland and Europe is at stake. Orbán responds that both Poland and the EU are playing a dangerous game with the lives of millions of Europeans.

Hungary's repeated blocking of military support to Ukraine and its application for EU and NATO membership has long been a thorn in the side of Poland and other EU member states.

Poland and Hungary previously belonged to the so-called Visegrád Group (V4) and often shared positions against Brussels. But as the war in Ukraine progressed and major strategic dividing lines emerged, the relationship has become strained.

While Tusk strives to gain increased influence for Poland within the EU and NATO, Orbán has made it clear that he wants to see a different kind of European order — where nation-states have greater freedom and Brussels' central power is questioned.

Harsh criticism of Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado

The globalist agenda

Published October 11, 2025 – By Editorial staff
Maria Corina Machado has previously participated in the globalist forum World Economic Forum.

American journalist Max Blumenthal sharply criticizes the Nobel Committee's decision to award the 2025 Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition politician Maria Corina Machado.

In a statement on social media, he accuses the laureate of being a US-funded regime change activist and argues that the prize is a green light for military action against Venezuela.

Max Blumenthal, a journalist at the US-based news website The Grayzone, has in a lengthy post on X questioned the Nobel Committee's decision to award the Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado, leader of Venezuela's opposition.

Blumenthal describes Machado as a political actor working in US interests rather than for peace. "The Nobel Committee has decided to make the case for Trump's war on Venezuela, giving its 'Peace Prize' to Maria Corina Machado, a US govt-funded regime change activist who's helped lead failed military coups, violent street riots, and has likely promised her country's oil and mineral wealth to a consortium of MAGA aligned billionaires in exchange for financing her political arsonism," he writes.

Comparisons to Pinochet and Netanyahu

The journalist harshly attacks the laureate, calling her "a marionette for Marco Rubio, a creation of the CIA-sponsored Gusano Industrial Complex that has brought violent terror and siege to any Latin American country defying the Washington Consensus of privatization and austerity, and a would-be Pinochet in a skirt."

Blumenthal also claims that Machado has turned to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for support. "This icon of peace has even appealed to Benjamin Netanyahu to help her lead a military invasion of Venezuela," he writes.

Criticism for supporting sanctions

A central part of Blumenthal's criticism concerns Machado's alleged lobbying for economic sanctions against her own country. He argues that she "has spent years lobbying for US and EU starvation sanctions on her own country, resulting in waves of migration to the US, fueling the nativist resentment that gave rise to Trump."

Blumenthal also points to Machado's response when Donald Trump sent Venezuelan migrants to a detention camp in El Salvador earlier this year. "When Trump shipped Venezuelan migrants to a torture camp in El Salvador this year, Machado predictably sided with Trump, the main sponsor of her putschist career, over her countrymen," he writes.

Committee's role a "soft power instrument"

The journalist draws parallels to previous controversial awards and argues that the decision regarding Machado is consistent with the Committee's role as a power instrument for the Western world. "Giving the Nobel to Machado is a green light for regime change war on Venezuela, and then Cuba. But the decision is consistent with the Committee's role as a soft power instrument of the Western empire," he states.

He recalls the prize to Barack Obama at the beginning of his first presidential term: "Just recall its award to Obama at the beginning of his first term, granting him infinite legitimacy in advance of his destruction of Libya, escalation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and facilitation of Gaza's decimation."

Blumenthal concludes with an interpretation of what he sees as the real purpose behind the award: "Given that nothing has happened in Machado's career without the support and guidance of Washington, the Committee's decision must be seen as the result of another Western op - a coup in Oslo to pave the way for one in Caracas."

Tony Blair could gain power over Gaza

The globalist agenda

Published October 1, 2025 – By Editorial staff
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the World Economic Forum power conference in Davos, earlier this summer.

The notorious globalist and war hawk Tony Blair now wants to govern post-war Gaza for up to five years. According to WikiLeaks, the plan would give outside forces control over everything from laws to money flows.

Tony Blair, the architect behind Britain's participation in the Iraq War that cost hundreds of thousands of lives, now wants to lead an international transitional authority for Gaza after the war ends. According to people with insight into the Trump administration's peace plan, Blair could become chairman of a "Gaza International Transitional Authority".

The plan has been developed together with Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and is primarily financed by tech billionaire Larry Ellison. According to reports, Blair would lead a secretariat of 25 people that would administer Gaza for up to five years.

WikiLeaks comments on the development in sharp terms:

"A battle is brewing over who will run the wasteland. Into this vacuum steps Tony Blair, lined up to head a US-backed Gaza International Transitional Authority", the organization writes.

The organization describes the arrangement as something far more comprehensive than traditional post-war governance:

"This is not postwar governance in a conventional sense but a model of neo-trusteeship; external control over territory, law, and the flows of reconstruction, data, and capital".

WikiLeaks also points to the economic interests behind the plan and notes that Blair is backed by principal funder Larry Ellison and plans to lead the administration for up to five years.

Notorious war instigator

Tony Blair is one of modern times' most notorious British politicians. As Prime Minister from 1997-2007, he gave his full support to US invasions of both Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.

Blair was accused of misleading the British Parliament and population about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction – weapons that were never found and whose existence is now questioned. The Chilcot Inquiry in 2016 established that Blair had exaggerated the threat from Saddam Hussein and that the British government had acted on inadequate or falsified intelligence information.

His close relationship with George W. Bush and unconditional support for American foreign policy earned him the nickname "Bush's poodle" from critics. Over one million demonstrated in London against the Iraq War in February 2003, but Blair still pushed through British participation.

Long-standing Israel support

Blair has been an outspoken Israel supporter over the years. As peace envoy for the Quartet – the UN, US, EU and Russia – he was responsible from 2007-2015 for promoting the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

During his time, however, illegal settlement construction in the West Bank continued and the Gaza blockade remained. Palestinian leaders and human rights organizations repeatedly accused him of favoring Israel and functioning as a partisan political actor instead of a neutral mediator.

During Israel's war in Gaza, which has so far killed over 65,000 Palestinians according to local health authorities, Blair has been working on his plan for international governance of the area. He met President Trump at the White House last month to present the proposal.

Resistance from the Arab world

European and Arab states have already expressed opposition to the idea of an international trusteeship for Gaza. They argue that such an arrangement would further marginalize Palestinians and lack legitimacy in the eyes of Gaza residents. Instead, they advocate that Gaza should be governed by a committee consisting of Palestinian technocrats with support from the Palestinian Authority, which currently administers parts of the West Bank.

Trump presented his Gaza plan to Arab leaders in New York this week. The proposal gives Palestinians limited administrative power, but real control would lie with an international board – potentially led by Tony Blair.

However, everything could collapse as early as Monday. That's when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets President Trump in Washington – and Netanyahu has already made his position clear: the Palestinian Authority will have no role in Gaza's future and Hamas must be completely eliminated.

Without Israeli approval, the plan cannot be implemented, which would stop both Trump's peace attempt and Blair's return to Middle East politics.
