THE WHO's Face?
Examining the Foundation's prescient Aug. 2019 purchase of BioNTech stock.

IMPORTANT ARTICLE:

The non-existent Covid Pandemic was "announced" in September 2019.

Reviewing BioNTech's Disclosure of Classes of Share Capital for the year ended December 31, 2019, I noticed the following:
On August 30, 2019, BioNTech entered into agreements with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). BMGF agreed to purchase 3,038,674 ordinary shares with nominal amount of k€ 3,039 of BioNTech for a total of k€49,864 (k$55,000). These agreements require BioNTech to perform certain research and development activities to advance the development of products for the prevention and treatment of HIV and tuberculosis. In the event of a breach of the underlying conditions, including such research and development activities, BMGF has the right to sell its shares back to BioNTech at the initial share price or fair market value, whichever is higher, subject to certain conditions. BioNTech's ability to pay dividends is also limited under the terms of these agreements.
Less than two years after the Gates Foundation purchased the stock (pre-IPO) at $18 per share, it peaked on Aug. 6, 2021 at $389. At that price, the Foundation's $55 million investment was worth $1,182,044,186.00 ($1.182 billion).

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Gaza, Genocide, and Why Israel Can't be a Normal Country

"Free Palestine!" is "the new 'heil Hitler'!" says Israeli PM Netanyahu following the double-murder of Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC last week - a sickening development that fortuitously eased growing international pressure on the Israeli regime to stop starving the Palestinians in Gaza to death.

Just how much pressure will Western leaders actually bring to bear on Israel though? Why don't they do more to restrain the Jewish State? Like, stop gifting it weapons and ammunition? And what about Palestinians' neighboring Arabs, what's their excuse for doing nothing? Finally, Israelis themselves: what IS their major malfunction? When you strip away the narratives and lies, what is the problem, really?

Also in this NewsReal: Russia tightens the noose on the Kyiv regime, Germany announces "total rearmament, with a view to soon becoming Europe's best military" (gulp), the WHO's 'Pandemic Preparedness Treaty' comes into effect, and Trump makes a fool of himself in front of South Africa's president.

In an effort to crack down on media leaks, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a new series of restrictions on Friday that ban reporters from large areas of the Pentagon without an escort.

Journalists are now permitted to be unaccompanied only in the Pentagon's main entrances and food court. Hegseth's physical office spaces and the Joint Chiefs physical office spaces will now be off-limits "without an official approval from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and an escort from the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs."

"While the Department remains committed to transparency, the Department is equally obligated to protect [classified national intelligence information] and sensitive information — the unauthorized disclosure of which could put the lives of U.S. Service members in danger," Hegseth wrote.

Comment: That's not all Hegseth is doing to bring the behemouth that is the DOD under control:

Leaked documents show the supposedly self-reliant anti-Kremlin outlet Mediazona asked the UK gov't for £300,000. With foreign funding drying up, the "independent" news site now faces financial crisis.

Mediazona, the self-styled "independent" Russian outlet which partners with the BBC to track the deaths of Russian troops, requested hundreds of thousands of pounds directly from the British government, according to a tranche of leaked official documents.

Having mainly targeted Russians since its founding in 2014 by members of the Western-backed troupe of provocateurs known as Pussy Riot, Mediazona has largely remained off the radar of news consumers in the West. But that changed with the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine. Since the first day of the conflict, Mediazona has collaborated with the BBC Russian Service on a project tracking the deaths of Russian servicemen through open source methods. Mediazona describes "the work [as] meticulous and time-consuming," requiring "relentless efforts of journalists."

Very few Americans understand the degree to which Kiev oppresses the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, according to the journalist

The US is essentially facilitating the persecution of Christians in Ukraine by supporting the Kiev government, which has been waging a purge campaign against the nation's canonical Orthodox church, American journalist Tucker Carlson has said.

Carlson made the statement during an interview with a former Ukrainian MP, Vadim Novinsky, released on Friday.

"Every day, churches and temples are seized by soldiers with machine guns who come in, throw out priests, beat believers, children, old people, women..." the former lawmaker stated, adding that "it is happening all over Ukraine."

Trump's phone diplomacy with Putin shatters the Euro-Atlantic Cold War mental bloc

Trump's phone call with Putin this week has had a major impact, and one that has significant potential for peace. The cracks in the Cold War mental bloc, so to speak, are a way forward.

As the old saying goes, "it's good to talk." Good, that is, for most reasonable people who understand that dialogue is a process that opens positive possibilities, especially when the dialogue is conducted respectfully and sincerely.

This week, US President Donald Trump held his third phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin since he was inaugurated in the White House in January. The latest one on Monday was even more substantive than the previous calls, lasting about two hours, and, according to both sides, it was conducted in a friendly and productive manner.

Of course, the main topic of conversation was finding a peaceful end to the more than three-year war in Ukraine. Trump deserves credit for at least trying to bring peace to the table, instead of more and more weapons, as his predecessor, the mentally decrepit Joe Biden, did, and assorted European leaders would like to continue doing.

There was also discussion between Trump and Putin, using first names in their verbal exchanges, about repairing US-Russia relations for trade and strategic cooperation. That portends a transformation in Washington's erstwhile agenda of hostility towards Russia.

Kiev launched an "unprecedented" UAV attack on Kursk Region during the president's visit, a Russian officer has said.

The helicopter carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin was caught in the "epicenter" of a massive Ukrainian drone attack while the president was visiting Kursk Region earlier this week, Yury Dashkin, a commander of an air defense division, has revealed.

Putin traveled to Russia's Kursk Region on Tuesday for the first time since it was fully liberated from Ukrainian forces in April. During his trip, the president met with Governor Aleksandr Khinshtein, as well as the heads of local municipalities and volunteers who have been helping those affected by the now-repulsed Ukrainian incursion, according to the Kremlin.

In an interview with the channel Russia 1 aired on Sunday, Dashkin revealed that Putin's helicopter had found itself "in the epicenter of an operation to repel a massive drone attack by the enemy" in Kursk Region.

Kiev launched an "unprecedented" UAV assault on the region when the president was there, with Russian air defenses destroying 46 incoming fixed-wing UAVs, according to Dashkin.

'Era of uncontested US dominance over' - Vance

The US vice president has said rivals like China and Russia now challenge American power across key domains.

The era of Washington's uncontested global dominance has come to an end, with growing competition from Russia, China, and other nations, US Vice President J.D. Vance said on Friday.

Speaking to graduates at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Vance said that US leaders had assumed after the Cold War that "American primacy" was assured. "Nor did we believe any foreign nation could possibly rise to compete with the United States of America," he stated.

Vance said that following the end of the Cold War, America enjoyed a mostly unchallenged command of the air, sea, space and cyberspace.

The vice president warned that the global landscape has shifted:
"The era of uncontested US dominance is over. Today we face serious threats in China, Russia, and other nations determined to beat us in every single domain - from spectrum, to lower Earth orbit, to our supply chains and even our communication infrastructure."

Comment: Arm chair experts could not have predicted the current path of the Trump administration...nor will it tomorrow. Global politics are currently in flux as Trump stirs the pot and reality is redirected.

The Russian military has carried out a successful strike against a drone and missile production plant in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.

The statement, issued by the ministry on Saturday, confirms earlier reports of a large-scale Russian drone and missile strike on Kiev overnight. Witnesses said they heard multiple blasts, with photos uploaded on social media capturing a huge explosion in the city:
"The Russian military performed a group strike with high-precision ground-based weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles against a Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprise that produces missile weapons and unmanned aerial attack vehicles.

"All of the goals of the strike were achieved. All designated targets were hit."
The other targets of the attack were a radar surveillance center and a US-made Patriot air defense system, it added.

Comment: Ukraine UAV attack repelled in Russia's Belgorod Region:
Russian air defenses have eliminated 104 Ukrainian drones in the country's airspace overnight, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.

Belgorod Region, where 74 drones were shot down, was most affected, the ministry said in a statement on Saturday morning.

Bryansk Region saw 24 interceptions, and UAVs were also destroyed in Kursk, Lipetsk, Voronezh and Tula regions, according to the statement.

The ministry did not report any incursions in Moscow Region; the capital has been the main target of Kiev's drone attacks in recent days.

Ukraine has intensified its UAV raids this week, with 776 UAVs being shot down in Russian airspace between Tuesday and Friday, according to the Defense Ministry.

According to the ministry, the continued "terror attacks against civilians" by Kiev's forces are "an attempt to thwart direct Russia-Ukraine talks facilitated by the US administration [of President Donald Trump], which are designed to settle the conflict definitively."

Leaving millions under rule of Kiev 'junta' would be a 'crime' - Lavrov

The foreign minister has insisted that Russian speakers in Ukraine must be protected.

Leaving millions in Ukraine under the rule of a "junta" which has banned their native language would be "a major crime," according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Speaking at a conference in Moscow on Friday, Russia's top diplomat pointed out that Kiev's authorities have effectively banned the use of the Russian language despite it being the native tongue of a large proportion of the population. He emphasized:
"We cannot leave people under the rule of the regime that is currently there. If Vladimir Zelensky's 'junta' expects that somehow an agreement will be reached to end the hostilities, and what remains of Ukraine will live according to the laws that they adopted, this is an illusion. This cannot be allowed under any circumstances."
The minister also reiterated that while Russia is prepared to negotiate with Zelensky and his administration about the principles of resolving the Ukraine conflict, the issue of his legitimacy will be crucial when it comes to actually signing settlement documents.

Comment: A lot of "how-what-when" questions remain to be answered. Ukraine leadership has not stepped in nor up.
