WHO urges countries to finalize controversial pandemic treaty

The globalist agenda

The WHO and its director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, want the world's countries to sign the treaty.

The president of the World Health Organization (WHO), Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, last week called on the world’s countries to agree on a “pandemic treaty” that the WHO says will “help fight future pandemics” as negotiations draw to a close.

The new treaty, which includes a series of updates to existing rules purporting to address alleged pandemics, is described as intended to “strengthen the world’s defenses against emerging pathogens” in the wake of the alleged Covid-19 pandemic.

The WHO’s 194 member states must complete negotiations on the agreement by May 10 and then (if the WHO has its way) adopt it at the WHO’s annual meeting later that month.

But sources say there are still major disagreements. Moreover, the process is taking place behind closed doors, making transparency even more difficult.

Director-General: “Please, get this done!”

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the meeting in Geneva:

– Give the people of the world, the people of your countries, the people you represent, a safer future. So I have one simple request: please, get this done, for them, the Director-General said, almost in despair.

Tedros Ghebreyesus called on countries that do not agree on the text to at least “refrain from blocking consensus.

One of the main points of disagreement between rich and developing countries is the issue of equitable distribution of drugs and vaccines to avoid a repeat of the “failures” of the Covid-19 era.

Politicians in countries such as the US and Australia have also criticized the legally binding agreement, arguing that it gives too much power to the UN. The WHO chief has rejected this argument, saying that “the treaty would help countries better protect themselves against outbreaks”.

The only time in the organization’s 75-year history that WHO member states have been able to agree on a legally binding treaty such as the “pandemic treaty” was a 2003 agreement on tobacco control.

Goldman Sachs veteran takes over Canada

The globalist agenda

Published 12 March 2025
– By Editorial Staff
Mark Carney has claimed, among other things, that climate change-related deaths “will be the equivalent of a coronavirus crisis every year”.

As expected, it will be the top banker and Bilderberg veteran Mark Carney who succeeds the heavily criticized Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party and thus Canada’s new Prime Minister.

Carney, who previously served as the central bank governor for both Canada and the UK, also has a long background as an executive at investment bank Goldman Sachs and has sat on the board of the globalist World Economic Forum’s foundation.

Mark Carney was the clear favorite in the Liberals’ internal vote this weekend, eventually winning 85.9% of party members’ votes.

– I will work day and night with one purpose, which is to build a stronger Canada for everyone, he promised after the election win and also took the opportunity to further fuel the conflict with the Trump administration’s United States.

– The Americans – they want our resources, our water, our land, our country. If they succeed, they will destroy our way of life.

Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire for Canada to cease being an independent nation and become a US state, and it is precisely the very strained US-Canadian relations that paved the way for Carney’s rise to power. Although he has no real political experience, he has been touted as the best person to handle the trade war with the US.

The Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum

Mark Carney, an economist by training, worked for Goldman Sachs for 13 years in the investment bank’s Boston, London, New York, Tokyo and Toronto offices. He joined the credit risk department as early as 1988 and rose to more prominent positions, eventually becoming responsible for debt advice to governments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

In 1998, he moved to Goldman Sachs in New York, where he was responsible for corporate transactions and mergers, before moving to Canada, where Carney was eventually appointed managing director of the firm’s investment banking division.

In 2003, Carney left Goldman Sachs to join the Bank of Canada five years later he headed the country’s central bank and was appointed Governor of the Bank of Canada in 2013 a post he held until 2020. Since then, he has worked as an adviser to Justin Trudeau including during the Canadian lockdown policy during the coronavirus crisis.

The Liberal also has extensive experience in various influential circles of power, having served on the board of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum foundation and attended meetings of the shadowy Bilderberg Group for several years.

During his time as a bank manager, he has also built up a considerable private fortune and, although he cannot compete with the most wealthy people in power, he is currently estimated to be worth almost $7 million.

Comparing climate change to covid

Carney also has a background as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, and has argued in various climate alarmist pronouncements that the world needs to come together to combat alleged climate change something that is also claimed to be “a huge economic opportunity” for private actors.

– One of the biggest issues is you cannot self-isolate from climate. That is not an option. We cannot retreat in and wait out climate change, it will just get worse, the Liberal has previously said.

– When you look at climate change from a human mortality perspective, it will be the equivalent of a coronavirus crisis every year from the middle of this century, and every year, not just a one-off event. So it is an issue that needs to be addressed now, he argued in 2021.

During the coronavirus era, Canadian repression was particularly totalitarian, with those in power imposing martial law, among other measures, to combat protesters who opposed the harsh restrictive policies in the capital, Ottawa. Others had their bank accounts frozen and a large number of peaceful protesters were detained or subjected to violence by the police.

It is worth noting that a general election is expected to be held in Canada later in 2025, and that the Liberal-Conservative opposition Conservative Party of Canada would have received the most electoral support had an election been held today.

Trudeau Schwab’s disciple

It is noteworthy that the outgoing Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, also has very close ties to the World Economic Forum and has been described as something of a disciple of founder Klaus Schwab.

Schwab has previously proclaimed that humanity is facing “a fourth industrial revolution” that will “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identities”, and Trudeau in particular has been praised as an ultimate representative of this world order.

I couldn’t imagine anybody (than Trudeau) who could represent more the world which will come out of this fourth industrial revolution, Schwab said back in 2016.

Hungary’s warning: “Soros’ globalist network is fleeing to Brussels”

The globalist agenda

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is warning the world that ultra-globalist and currency speculator George Soros’s political influence campaign network is leaving the United States and seeking to strengthen its influence over Brussels and Europe.

WARNING! Our fears have come true: the globalist-liberal-Soros NGO network is fleeing to Brussels, after President Trump dealt a huge blow to their activities in the US”, writes Hungary’s leader.

He points out that 63 of these organizations have already asked those in power in Brussels for funding and financial support – often under the pretext of working on various human rights projects.

However, Orbán declares that Soros’ networks are just as unwelcome in Europe as they are in the US.

Not going to happen! We will not let them find safe haven in Europe! The USAID-files exposed the dark practices of the globalist network. We will not take the bait again!” he proclaims.

Trump froze funding

Orbán is referring to a petition in which the International Commission of Jurists lobby group and some 60 other NGOs are demanding that EU countries take over the funding of their activities – after US President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order freezing all US foreign aid for 90 days.

“(We) call on EU leaders to take immediate action to address the global development aid crisis triggered by recent decisions by the U.S. administration”, the left-wing organizations write.

The appeal urges the EU, as the world’s largest foreign aid provider, to step up its leadership and ensure continued support for democracy, human rights, global health, and humanitarian assistance”, they add.

According to the NGOs, it is particularly important for the EU to spend money on groups and projects working on “reproductive rights, gender equality and LGBTIQ rights” and to put diplomatic pressure on the US to resume payments to left-wing activist organizations.

“Transatlantic oligarchy”

This is far from the first time Orbán has harshly criticized Soros’ network. The Nordic Times has previously reported on how he believes that Brussels today is “occupied by a left-wing transatlantic oligarchy”, and that the EU’s constant attacks and threats against Hungary are orchestrated “by the liberal united front funded by George Soros” that seeks to influence Europe’s political direction.

The newspaper has also reported on how the United States Agency for International Development (USAID ) has spent billions funding various forms of left-liberal projects and advocacy campaigns in other countries – including Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

According to Viktor Orbán, the agency funded “virtually the entire left-wing media in Hungary” during the Biden administration – with the aim of trying to force a regime change in the country.

USAID central in global propaganda war

Disinformation in the media

  • New serious revelations continue to emerge about the US aid agency USAID.
  • Among other things, it shows that the agency has been systematically used to run advocacy campaigns in more than 30 different countries.
  • In Ukraine, as many as nine out of ten media companies have been entirely dependent on US aid money – with USAID reportedly the main funder.

US aid money has funded a worldwide propaganda apparatus.

The Nordic Times has previously reported on how Trump may completely shut down USAID. This after his efficiency chief, Elon Musk, described it as a “purely criminal organization” and stated that it “is time for it to die”.

The White House has also confirmed that the aid organization has funded LGBTQ propaganda, jihadist terror groups and other subversive activities in a wide range of countries.

A review also shows that USAID has played a central role in the US propaganda war and has funded a very large number of pro-Western media around the world media that are now threatened with closure if US support is cut.

In Ukraine, for example, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) points out that “9 out of 10 outlets rely on subsidies and USAID is the primary donor”.

80% of our budget is affected, laments Anna Babinets, CEO and founder of Slistvo.Info.

“Almost everyone had grants”

According to RSF, USAID funds “independent media” in over 30 countries and has funded “training and support for 6,200 journalists, assisted 707 non-state news outlets, and supported 279 media-sector civil society organizations”.

In 2025 alone, $270 million was budgeted to support “independent media and the free flow of information”.

– The problem is that almost everyone had grants. The question is that for some, these grants amounted to 100% of their income and they could only survive thanks to grants. These grants amounted to 40–60% for some, less for others, explains Oksana Romaniuk of the Ukrainian Institute of Mass Information.

She clarifies that media funding came not only from the US but also from the EU and the UN.

“The puppet masters pulling strings”

The “independent journalism” funded with US aid money is accused by many critics of being a propaganda machine pushing issues and topics deemed important to the political establishment in Washington.

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars through a secretive US government financed NGO, ‘Internews Network’ (IN), which has ‘worked with’ 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and ‘training’ over 9000 journalists. IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives”, WikiLeaks wrote in a post on X.

Former USAID director Samantha Power has also spoken openly in the past about how the agency funds and influences media reporting in countries like Moldova and Nicaragua.

USAID set up insurance funds for journalists, which was just a fancy way of saying they were controlling the narrative. Over in Moldova, they pushed for memberships and subscriptions, essentially deciding who gets the cash flow. And in Nicaragua, USAID was restructuring media businesses, which is a nice way of saying USAID was calling the shots on how news gets made and distributed”, notes political commentator Ian Miles Cheong.

They were the puppet masters, pulling strings to shape the media landscape to their liking”, he concludes.

Orbán: USAID has a strong presence in Hungary

In practice, it remains unclear whether the agency will be closed down completely, reformed or resurrected in a modified form. In many quarters, hopes are now being expressed that in that case it will focus on aid work rather than advocacy.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, among others, has said that the agency funded “basically the entire left-wing media in Hungary under the previous US administration”.

And they called me ‘disruptor of the year’ … I think the world owes a debt of gratitude to President Donald Trump for uncovering and putting an end to this dark conspiracy”, he wrote.

Not a new phenomenon

It should be noted that attempts by the US establishment to simultaneously control and manipulate media reporting are not a new phenomenon nor are they limited to USAID alone.

During the Cold War, for example, the CIA launched “Operation Mockingbird”, which aimed to manipulate US and international media to spread pro-American propaganda.

By recruiting journalists and using front organizations, the CIA influenced news reporting, sometimes by planting false stories.

The program was partly uncovered by journalist Carl Bernstein in 1977, who claimed that over 400 journalists collaborated with the CIA in various ways.

Stoltenberg resigns as Bilderberg chief – becomes Norway’s finance minister

The globalist agenda

Jens Stoltenberg during the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Recently, former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was appointed chairman of the influential Bilderberg Group’s steering committee.

Now the high-profile globalist is leaving the position to become Norwegian Finance Minister.

As recently as December, Stoltenberg was introduced as the new head of Bilderberg and claimed to be very pleased with his new assignment.

– In combination with the Munich Security Conference, this is a good platform for cooperation with leaders from politics, business and academia. It is also an important venue for strengthening ties between Europe and the United States. I look forward to contributing to the work of Bilderberg, he said.

However, he is now leaving that post as it is not considered suitable to combine with a Norwegian ministerial role.

– Jens Stoltenberg has resigned as co-chairman of the Bilderberg Group due to his appointment as finance minister in the Norwegian government, a spokesman confirmed to Norwegian E24.

– I have declined everything else I would have said yes to and have informed everyone in different ways, says Stoltenberg, adding that he is “deeply honored to have been asked to help my country at this critical stage”.

The government collapsed

Stoltenberg’s appointment as new finance minister is due to the fact that the Norwegian government collapsed this week something The Nordic Times also reported on. This after the Center Party chose to leave the government cooperation in protest against the failure to agree with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre’s Labor Party on the EU’s fourth energy package and issues related to the Norwegian electricity market.

Jens Stoltenberg has long been singled out as one of the European leaders most committed to continued escalation and war in Ukraine while consistently dismissing diplomacy and dialogue as unrealistic and unreasonable options.

Although he will not be in charge of foreign policy issues, critics are therefore also expressing concern that his return to Norwegian politics could risk leading to further escalation and polarization in the region.

Stoltenberg previously served as leader of the Labour Party from 2002 to 2015 and as Prime Minister of Norway from 2000 to 2001 and again from 2005 to 2013.
