---|---|
As Exposure of the SDS continues, the agenda quickens towards ever tighter control... | |
An exciting year. Corporate media focused on mRNA concerns, rather than looking at the bigger picture of a continued global push towards techno-fascism, just like in Ukraine, this year, focus was soon moved to another war, this time in Israel. |
2023 was a year returning to the normal of the pre-Covid times on the 60 year anniversary of JFK Assassination, which (as Mark Gorton puts it) "quickened" The Cabal into the US Deep state of today.[1]: Deep events were forgotten and soon pushed aside in airtime of the CCM for another war in the Middle East. The WHO silently ended the global emergency status of Covid in May (but not the pandemic status), African nations continued to shift towards China[2] and Russia[3] and suffered some coups and colour revolutions because of it, and a banking crisis with 3 majors world banks being going bankrupt.
After the spring, the year was marked by a enormous increase in AI-usage, which was mass rolled out for use by the public after Google and Microsoft bought out and funded several early leading developers. Many clients of Jeffrey Epstein continued to block, halt and sabotage investigations even half the decade after his death.

Yearly US Presidential raid
Similar to Donald Trump and now a yearly televised incident, between November 2022 and January 2023, approximately 25 to 30 classified government documents were discovered by President Joe Biden's attorneys in his former office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., and in his personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware. The files included Intelligence material and briefing memos on Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.[4] The Penn Biden Center soon came under scrutiny as Chinese people had donated over $50m dollar anonymously. Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr. to conduct an initial investigation following the raid. [5][6]
COVID-19
Project Veritas: Alleged Pfizer Scientist Describing Mutating Viruses |
- Full article: Covid-19/Origins
- Full article: Covid-19/Origins
Early 2023, similarly to early 2022, began with a number of revelations damaging to the overarching COVID-19 story. A series of voices critical specifically of the mRNA COVID jabs, like Michael Yeadon. Commercially-controlled media have still for the most part sidelined the bigger picture, and have shown little interest in the origins of COVID-19. On the first weekday of January, most countries removed the travel ban for their citizens to China because of their Zero-Covid policy, with China removing their ban for foreigners to enter the country one week later.[7][8]
Project Veritas sting
Project Veritas released a video of a secretly recorded interview in January, where one of their journalist recorded a conversation with Jordon Trishton Walker, who is allegedly Pfizer's director of research and development, strategic operations, and mRNA scientific planning, was apparently caught on an undercover recording admitting he and other Pfizer executives have discussed "mutating" COVID viruses in order to develop tailored vaccines to treat them. Walker specifically mentions that a pharmaceutical company creating new viruses mutating it from viruses that already have killed millions would be very unwanted in the world, but doubled down that they were considering - amongst other things in fact - for the future. Walker refused to call it Gain-of-Function-research and hinting he and others in Pfizer suspect the same research method - mutating dangerous viruses - was responsible for a lab leak and therefore the Covid-19 Pandemic[9]
CIA Admission and Cover Up
“A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies has so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has received intense attention from researchers as the potential source. But the Department of Energy and FBI so far have favored the so-called lab-leak hypothesis, even though none of the agencies has expressed high confidence in their conclusions on COVID-19’s origin. CIA, for example, had reportedly said it was “unable to determine” whether SARS-CoV-2 made a direct jump from animals to humans—or came from a lab. Now, Representative Brad Wenstrup (R–OH), who chairs the House of Representatives’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, says his panel and the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower “who presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer.” According to the press release, the whistleblower testified that only the most senior analyst of a seven-member CIA team investigating the origin of COVID-19 supported the zoonotic transmission theory. The whistleblower alleged the other six team members supporting the lab origin then received “a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote Wenstrup and Representative Mike Turner (R–OH), who chairs the intelligence panel.”

Although ex-aides of the Biden administration such as Raj Panjabi voiced serious sucipcious calling the lab theory "plausible", many government seemingly had no urge any more to find any proof or any lawsuits, with only the WHO stil actively forcing countries to undergo investigations, which was focused mostly at China.
This was deemed more suspicious after the US HoR member Brad Wenstrup claimed to possess a written testimony under oath that the virus was artificially created in a lab and released under unclear and nefarious circumstances.[11][12][13]

In December 2023, a new virus emerged, with no known relation to Covid, which resulted in CCM suggesting a new even more deadly virus to have emerged to specifically affect children, with Deep state intelligence agency Stratfor releasing a public paper requesting if China is clandestinely starting a new lockdown and is repeating 2019 by not telling anyone.[14]

2023 was noted by an enormous mass adaption of AI, Machine learning and mass surveillance and social engineering along with it. These models, leveraging advancements in machine learning and natural language processing, have become capable of creating realistic and coherent text, images, and music. An AI arms race between private companies was soon overshadowed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Google-owner Alphabet, a trend Time magazine named "worrying".[15]

The "Twitter Files" was the widely publicised set of screen shots and associated reporting around the change of ownership of Twitter. Actual files were not forthcoming. Elon Musk continued Twitter censorship, for example, of the account reporting the movements of an aircraft he owns.[16] An increase in his opinions outside the overton window, in particular regarding reinstating previously banned accounts such as Alex Jones and Donald Trump and statements about Israel resulted in dozens of corporations pulling their advertisements from Twitter, which was rebranded X along the way in 2023.[17]
Facebook was the target of a lawsuit in New Mexico for being a breeding ground for child predators, according the lawsuit. The attorney general claimed his team made fake accounts of teens who were immediately found by predators and asked to perform and send pictures and images of them engaging in sexual acts, with footages of these acts being "10 times prevalent" on Facebook than porn sites.[18]
The AG of New Mexico explained in the lawsuit his offices also found that Facebook; "especially promoted child porn" to teens, even when the algorithm had no history of this Facebook user searching for this images; coupled adult child predators together and suggested closed off groups to new users; found that Meta recommended kids joined un-moderated groups devoted to facilitating underage prostitution. The office of the AG went even further, and even was not sanctioned on Meta's platforms after starting an account where a fictitious mother offered her 13 year old daughter to child rapists.

Weather modification
New reports began to emerge where countries started using experimental chemicals on a large scale to increase several weather conditions.[19] The United States, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and Mexico have national programs led a convention by the IPCC and WMO to present new techniques in cloud seeing which could "boost rainfalls of a specific cloud by up to 25% under optimal conditions".[20]
A shady NGO commission called the "Overshoot Commission" started a lobbying effort to "dim the sun" by weather modification. An article by the climate activists noted "a US startup carried out a geoengineering experiment in Mexico, which the country claims was done without prior notice and consent causing a nationwide ban in Mexico".[21] The startup named Making Sunsets "launched balloons injected with sulphur dioxide particles into the atmosphere" to "cool" the clouds in which they floated in.[22] Dioxide particles have been linked in large amounts to cause burns on skin, diarrhoea and uncontrollable spasm in human bodies.[23]
Mass shootings
A mass shooting occurs in Serbian capital Belgrade, resulting in 19th deaths and mass protests culminating in a buy-back and a moratorium on new weapons permits and a review of current gun licenses was enacted.[24][25]

Attorney General FIRED After Suing JP Morgan For Covering Up Jeffrey Epstein's Crime Ring - The Hill |
Federal judge Esther Salas was presiding over a class action lawsuit brought against Deutsche Bank on behalf of investors, who argued Deutsche Bank didn't detect Vipedophile Jeffrey Epstein his dealings and failed to adhere to their own stipulations in 2023. Salas her son and husband were shot by a civil rights activist.[26]
Meanwhile Robert Sweet, the judge that accepted the plea deal for Epstein after Alexander Acosta was alledgaly forced to take it as deep state operatives and liaisons of Epstein in the intelligence community told Acosta "Epstein was above his pay grade" - died in a unrelated incidents, slowly closing the pool of witnesses that could ever get Epstein's clients indicted.[27]
In August, a report emerged from New York Jail Officials that Epstein was allowed to call his mother unsupervised, although his mother was listed as having over 15 years ago. The report further stated that Epstein actually called his not-publicly known Belarusian girlfriend Karyna Shuliak, who was called "The Inspector" by Epstein's friend.[28]
U.S Virgin Islands Attorney General Denise George was fired after 4 years of service after she started an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein connections to US Bank JPMorgan. The lawsuit claims JPMorgan Chase facilitated convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of women and girls, alleging that the bank should have known about Epstein’s illegal activity and as part of its anti-money laundering procedures, should have reported their client to authorities.[29] That same JP Morgan was reported in June of 2023 to have deleted 47 million emails "by accident", earning them a fine from the SEC even though they also rendered 12 civil lawsuits unable to proceed.[30]
JPMorgan also was named in new a blackmail-sting against Bill Gates to force Gates to join a JPMorgan fund.[31] JPMorgan was sentenced to pay over $290m in settlements in 2023 alone for ignoring warning about working with Epstein to the victims.[32]
George - after a brief radio silence - accused the bank of knowingly allowing Epstein to land in the Virgin Islands with their loaned money, which was dubbed Epstein’s Island, known for the rape and trafficking of minors by several op Epstein's Black Book on it. George also accused the country of violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act by allowing the bank to traffic women from Eastern Europe, thereby arguing the government was complicit with Jeffrey Epstein, with at least knowledge of the US Virgin Islands government, calling the evidence for the whole scheme "compelling and so credible".
George later explained that the Virgin Islands government let Epstein run amok, because he donated millions to schools, non profits and political campaigns on the islands, even though the Islands require that per law, as to place questions why Epstein was giving so much to politicians as well.[33] George was spooked enough not to fight her firing.
Arab League
After surviving a coup attempt by the US, IS and dozens of shady-sponsored "terrorism" groups, Syria was readmitted into the Arab League with help from Russia.[34]
Monkeypox
The World Health Organization ended its declaration of Monkeypox as a global health emergency in the spring.[35]
Canada & Saudi Arabia
Canada and Saudi Arabia agree to restore full diplomatic relations after cutting them in 2018 over the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, although Khashoggi's fiancé went on social media to condemn Saudi Arabia's ruling, describing it as a total mockery of justice, and the 5 people sentenced to death were deemed to be patsies or fall guys with higher-ups not being investigated by Saudi police.[36]
The European Commission and the U.S. government sign a new data communication agreement for transferring personal data in June after the European Court of Justice blocked the prior EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework for "forbidden data sharing" and "illegal". The new agreement didn't explain what would be done with the data the court deemed illegal between 2000 and 2023, the period the previous court investigated. The ruling marked the US-EU agreement a violation of the GDPR and said that the EU Commission had no legal basis in prohibiting the European data protection authorities launching investigations. Still, no actions was taken when US president Joe Biden forced this agreement through an executive order.[37][38]
The United States, Japan, and South Korea agree to sign a trilateral pact in August, seemingly preparing for a war against China.[39] Saudi Arabia is accused of mass killing 1000s of African migrants attempting to cross its border with Yemen.[40]

Coups
Vietnam
Nguyễn Xuân Phúc resigns as President of Vietnam after he is deemed responsible for shady dealing including scandals which disrupted handling of the national Covid pandemic, including a bribery scandal linked to flying home Vietnamese citizens who were stranded abroad, the purchase of bad COVID-19 PCR-tests, officials taking bribes from state companies including a communications company, and his officials being bribed by an oil giant, a strange sight in a communist country with only one practically political party.[41]
Israel
Large-scale spontaneous protests erupt across Israel in the wake of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firing his Defense minister who criticised the government's judicial overhaul plan. Dozens of Israeli air force reservists threatened to not show up for duty if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government moves ahead with a contentious plan to overhaul the country’s judiciary. Very timely, and after a few more crackdowns on activists that opposed the handling of Jerusalem Muslims and the removal of Arab for Israeli settlers, Hamas ramps us their amount of attacks in the summer of 2023, all the while dividing attention from the corruption probe into Netanyahu[42][43][44]

17,000 acres of land are burned and at least 115 people are killed on the US island of Hawaii, with four others missing, when a series of wildfires break out on the island of Maui in Hawaii. Questions are placed at the lack of investigations by the local government and the signs of arson.
War
Africa was the location of several high-profile coups, with even the first elected presidents to be removed. Western CCM pointed for most, including the ones in Mali and Niger to Russia, as attempts to gain minerals and fossil fuels for Russia while also causing mass migrant waves to Europe to cause right-wing governments to win in EU countries, causing even war criminal Tony Blair to return to British politics and publish a warning in a column that Russia is trying to "destabilise" Europe by causing "extremism and migration to come to Europe" and opted for a new war against Russia in Africa.[45][46]
Ethiopia
Gravitas Plus: Niger Coup: Who is the real culprit? |
In Ethiopia, Amharan Special Forces withdraw from the Tigray Region, and soon thereafter also withdraw from nearly all of Ethiopia.[47]
Niger
US and France-backed President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger is toppled in a coup d'état after members of his presidential guard and the armed forces seize control of the country and install General Abdourahamane Tchiani as leader of a military junta, the 6th coup in West Africa starting in 2020.[48]
ECOWAS suspended Niger's membership and threatened military action if President Bazoum was not returned to power by 6 August 2023. The coup leaders responded to the ECOWAS threat by closing Niger's airspace.
On 8 August 2023, the BBC reported that a senior US official, Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland had held face-to-face talks with Niger's military leaders following the coup. Victoria Nuland said the conversations had been "extremely frank and at times quite difficult". Speaking to reporters from capital Niamey, she said that, in talks lasting more than two hours, the US had offered its help "if there is a desire on the part of the people who are responsible for this to return to the constitutional order".
In September 2023 the Russian SVR gave out a press release in which it stated that the US is considering the assassination of the coup leaders.[49][50]
Myanmar
In Myanmar, after the coup in 2021, a civil war broke out with the army killing over 150 people in one crackdown on a town alone, with the government conducting air strikes on cities where protests emerged. such as on Pazigyi in 2023.[51]
Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijan attacked the Armenia-backed Republic of Artsakh. Protests erupt in Armenia, Artsakh announces the dissolution of government institutions, and over 100,000 ethnic Armenians flee Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan wins as Russia is too busy fighting Ukraine and many PMCs have been submerged by Russian military control.[52][53][54]

Hamas launches an massive, aerial, land and intelligence attack on Israeli settlements in southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, prompting a military response from the Israel Defense Forces for the 1100 Israeli victims. Israel launches numerous air strikes on Lebanon after rockets are fired by Hezbollah and further attempts are made to penetrate Israel, and has killed over 4000 until New Years Eve according the Al Jazeera.[55]
Russia & Ukraine
For centuries, leaders often depended on bands of mercenary warriors to make up their military strength in times of war, but as national militaries evolved, these formations shank from prominence, with modern PMCs generally being focused on support roles like base or VIP security or logistics (even if their contracts grew massively post 2001).
Wagner doesn't follow that example. A force tens of thousands strong, Wagner has helped spearhead the Russian offensives around Bakhmut, and taken on international prominence. In this episode, we look at the evolution of PMCs, Russia's modern employment of them, and the implications of Wagner's role in Ukraine and its public spats with the Russian MoD - Perun - 2023. |

IFS Ban
The Institute for Statecraft (IfS), formerly the Institute for Statecraft and Governance[57], is a UK deep state faction founded in 2006 as a limited company [58]. After receiving UK charitable status in 2009, it has received millions of pounds from the UK FCO and commercial organisations. The group recruited powerful civil servants, journalists and politicians, led my deep state operatives and spooks to astroturf and organise narratives against Russia to turn Russia into a enemy image.
After its first soft exposure, Daniel Lafayeedney - who was found in the underground London II black site in 2018, reportedly "slammed the door on a journalist and politicians face, without saying anything". After a 2018 complete exposure with leaks, mails with plans to undermine democratic institutions and counter Russian political power worldwide[59], and threats of lawsuits by a member threatening Wikispooks itself[60] (by claiming the group to be hoax), the Ifs wiped everything on their site except the front page, with their members removing any mentioning in their resumés, the Ifs claiming to "temporarily suspend" itself after being "hacked" resulting in "falsified content". March 2023, the institute was declared an "undesirable organisation" in Russia for "suspected involvement in blowing up the Crimean Bridge" in September 2022 by Ifs leader Chris Donnelly[61] seemingly hinting the Ifs to still exist.[62][63]
Wagner Coup
On 23 June 2023, the Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, invaded Rostov-on-Don after a period of increasing tensions between the Russian Ministry of Defence and the leader of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin. According to the Russian Aviation Authority, Russian news agency TASS, and Wagner-aligned Telegram groups on the 23rd of August 2023, Prigozhin his plane shot down north of Moscow. Wagner aligned Telegram groups accused the Russian Military of shooting the plane down. [64]
Preparation
Spy balloons
“Dozens of versions of the above war-game scenario have been enacted over the last few years, most recently in April by the House Select Committee on competition with China. And while the ultimate outcome in these exercises is not always clear — the U.S. does better in some than others — the cost is. In every exercise the U.S. uses up all its long-range air-to-surface missiles in a few days, with a substantial portion of its planes destroyed on the ground. In every exercise the U.S. is not engaged in an abstract push-button war from 30,000 feet up like the ones Americans have come to expect since the end of the Cold War, but a horrifically bloody one.
Soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army hold up shotguns.
And that’s assuming the U.S.-China war doesn’t go nuclear.”
Michael Hirsh (September 2023) [65]
From January 28 to February 4, 2023, a high-altitude balloon originating from China flew across North American airspace, including Alaska, western Canada, and the contiguous United States, resulting in a continues live-TV broadcast byt nearly all of the normally divided CCM what was behind the spy balloons. The shooting of the first balloon was followed by at least 3 more being shot down by the US Air Force, although later reports showed the 3 other balloons had no relation to China. The even seemingly appeared to be part of the increasing strategy of tension and War/Preparation to the encirclement of China, with Politico reporting the preparations made by China in technology making The Pentagon "freak out".[66][67]
NATO
Finland became the 31st member of NATO, doubling the alliance's border with Russia, at Finland's request, with Sweden trying the same but being blacked by Turkey to force them to ban and extradite Kurdish-Turkish politicians and liaisons working in Sweden.[68]

With BRICS expanding with Egypt, Argentina and 4 other countries joining them.[86]
Germany closed its last nuclear power plant, a culmination of a wish following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Brazil announces it will join OPEC+ in 2024.[87] A strange form of deep lobbying as Germany had very little to do with the plant, no severe accidents have happened, and Germany was vital pin in not banning gas-fuelled cars.[88]
