Closing remarks at the launch of the Trust & Freedom citizens’ initiative at the European Parliament, 4 July 2023

About refusing global one-size-fits-all policies

The inane banner “nobody is safe until everybody is safe” is doing much harm. Your money is being stolen for the benefit of corrupt companies and their stakeholders. Your freedom and the freedom of your children is being stolen by the effort to centralize this corruption at a global level.

I come from Africa, and it suffers the most extreme example of how this fraud is being perpetrated. Africa has many problems. With median life expectancy just above 60, clearly some of those problems relate to health. But the unrelenting obsession with viral diseases represents a scandalous misallocation of resources. Africa doesn’t have lower life expectancy than developed regions because of viruses. It has lower life expectancy because of poverty and malnutrition. Healthcare workers are so thinly spread that the average one is responsible for the care of thousands of people.

Yet under the COVAX initiative, the African CDC has estimated that tens of billions of dollars needed to be spent vaccinating Africans against Covid. As my colleague, Dr David Bell points out, that wall of money ought to be viewed in the context of the World Health Organization’s entire annual budget of $3b—and the Global Fund’s aggregate annual global expenditure on malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV of $4b.

The wild lunacy of that ambition is even more vivid when we consider that most Africans had long been immune to Covid owing to prior exposure, and only a tiny minority of them were at risk in the first place, owing to the very small portion of people in older age groups. Trying to pass this madness off as “equity” won’t work.

And it is a clear reflection of the sinister turn towards one-size-fits-all policies that the Covid policy response has exemplified, and which constructs such as One Health, global co-ordination in the name of Pandemic Preparedness, the WHO Treaty and the International Health Regulation amendments are weaponizing.

Before this peak vaccine sycophancy, we had lockdowns. They were ineffective; they were contradicted by all preceding guidelines; and they were implemented without any sign of a cost-benefit analysis. Even if they worked in developed nations, and they did not, in Africa, they were totally impractical. Attempts to implement them caused immense economic damage. Millions were hurled into grinding poverty. Entire cohorts of children had their educational prospects destroyed, with no hope of recovery. The adage that lockdowns were a matter of lives versus the economy was always a silly one. Economies mediate life.

Yet even as the WHO seeks to enlarge massively its powers and control in purported pandemic situations, it shows no sign of acknowledging that the globally centralized responses of lockdowns and vaccination programmes not only failed but represented staggering misappropriation of resources. And make no mistake, it is your money that is being misappropriated. Whether by direct taxes, or the indirect ones from the implementation of so-called “Modern Monetary Theory”, you are paying.

Instead, the WHO shows every sign of wanting to do more of these programmes. This is clearly demonstrated by its obsession with vaccine passports and the central role that vaccines play in the One Health narrative. None of this is very far adrift from the commercial and political objectives of the so-called stakeholders who have infiltrated the WHO at every level, in a coordinated effort of many years.

We do well to take a step back from the narrow confine of pandemics, to survey the broader context of our times. Pandemic Preparedness is far from being the only agenda that drives towards centralization. I have a rule of thumb for diagnosing a centralization scam. If we can detect (1) a propagandized global crisis, (2) admitting only global solutions, and (3) with dissenting voices viciously silenced, then we can know with certainty that we are dealing with a scam. And anyone who has been watching events of recent years with even a modicum of attention will be aware that multiple agendas tick these three boxes, not just the Covid agenda.

The architects of such globalist trajectories—the Kissengers, Rockerfellers, Schwabs, Carneys, Strongs, Carstens and Bangas—are held out as great intellects. But they are nothing of the sort. We know both in theory and in practice that centralization causes nothing but misery, because it destroys the mechanisms of error-correction, leading to doubling down on flawed policies. It cannot do otherwise, especially not in the highly centralized institutions that have been captured by these hubristic people. History is replete with examples of tyrants enamoured of their centralizing visions believing each time that they hold some perspective or asset that their predecessors lacked. Today it is the false belief that access to more data and bigger computers will mean that “this time is different”. But it isn’t different. People still make mistakes, and when those who amass great power and control do so, the results are disastrous. Africans have found out the hard way how much centralized mistakes hurt, and will mount a fight against this reiteration of colonialism.

But citizens of all nations need to commit to fighting this tendency towards centralization at all levels and in all places. The entirety of our wellbeing and freedoms is at stake.
