STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- One hour after Joe Biden’s inauguration, the World Health Organization lowered the recommended PCR cycle threshold (CT), which automatically guarantees that the number of “cases,” i.e., positive PCR test results, will plummet in the days and weeks to come
- Tests recommended by the WHO used to be set to 45 CTs, yet the scientific consensus has long been that anything over 35 CTs renders the test useless, as the accuracy will be a measly 3% — 97% are false positives
- The “casedemic” could not have been maintained were it not for the media, over which the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission wield significant influence
- Most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies, The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP)
- The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. Governments, military, and intelligence services also use these news agencies as multipliers to spread and reinforce their chosen narrative
COVID-19 cases will drop like a rock from here on, and the reason for that is simple. One hour after Joe Biden’s inauguration as the 46th president of the United States, January 20, 2021, the World Health Organization suddenly and out of the blue lowered the recommended PCR cycle threshold (CT),1 which automatically guarantees that the number of “cases,” i.e., positive PCR test results, will plummet.
The next day, January 21, 2021, President Biden announced he will be reinstating the U.S.’ financial support for the WHO.2
Editor’s note,* February 3, 2021: PJ Media’s report,3 on the WHO’s update was retracted shortly after publishing, ostensibly because “Facebook’s fact-checking partner Science Feedback claimed it contained multiple misleading or false statements.” The article was written by former Fortune 500 executive and health care professional Stacey Lennox.
At the time of writing, no factual errors or false statements relating to the PCR tests were identified in Lennox’s article, although the writer did refer to Dr. Anthony Fauci as a “Mendacious Midget,” the factual accuracy of which may be argued. Either way, Facebook fact-checkers routinely “debunk” articles based on nothing more than semantics; therefore, quotes from her article remain in the text below. A copy of the retracted PJ Media article is available on the Wayback Machine.4
For months, experts have warned that COVID-19 is not so much a viral pandemic as it is a “casedemic” or pandemic of false-positive tests, and the thing that has kept this casedemic going this long is the fact that laboratories have been using excessively high CTs.5 I detailed this scheme in “COVID-19 Testing Scandal Deepens” and “Astonishing COVID-19 Testing Fraud Revealed.”
Tests recommended by the World Health Organization used to be set to 45 cycles,6,7,8 yet the scientific consensus has long been that anything over 35 CTs renders the test useless,9,10,11 as the accuracy will be a measly 3% — 97% are false positives.12 Why in the world did it take them this long to fix this well-recognized problem, which fueled the false idea that asymptomatic people posed a health threat and had to be quarantined? As reported by Lennox:13
“In August of last year, The New York Times published an article stating that as many as 90% of COVID-19 tests in three states were not indicative of active illness. In other words, they were picking up viral debris incapable of causing infection or being transmitted because the cycle threshold (Ct) of the PCR testing amplified the sample too many times …
Shortly before the New York Times article was published, the CDC revised its COVID-19 test recommendations, saying that only symptomatic patients should be tested.
The media went insane, and Dr. Fauci went all over television saying … ‘I am concerned about the interpretation of these recommendations and worried it will give people the incorrect assumption that asymptomatic spread is not of great concern. In fact it is.’
The guidelines went back to testing everyone, all the time, with an oversensitive test. The idea that asymptomatic spread was a concern as of August was just one of many lies Dr. Fauci told …”
Lower CT Results in Lower ‘Case’ Loads
The WHO’s update, dated January 20, 2021, admits that a positive PCR test alone does not equal infection and that the “PCR threshold (CT) needed to detect the virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load.” The higher the CT required to detect a positive, the more likely it is that the test is a false positive.
Therefore, in cases where the patient’s symptoms do not correspond to the result of the test, i.e., they’re asymptomatic but test positive, they should be retested using the same or different test. They also note that the PCR test should only be used as an “aid” in diagnosis and not be relied upon by itself. The diagnosis must also include the observation of clinical symptoms.
So, to get a diagnosis of COVID-19, you now need two positive tests if symptoms are absent, and a doctor’s judgment-call on whether symptoms appear consistent with a diagnosis of COVID-19. This is a radical divergence and sets a much higher bar for positive “case” reporting.
Taking a patient’s symptoms into account should have been the routine practice from the beginning, and lowering the CT count should have occurred months ago. It just didn’t fit the geopolitical narrative.
January 7, 2021, the Kansas Department of Health also lowered the CT for its COVID-19 tests, from 42 to 35 CTs. While it’s unclear if private labs in the state followed suit and, if so, how many, the “case” trend in Kansas did start to drop, from a daily average of 2,752 on January 7 to 1,795 as of January 20.14 Indeed, Lennox’s prediction back in October 2020 is getting more prophetic by the day:15
“Biden will issue national standards, like the plexiglass barriers in restaurants he spoke about during the debate, and pressure governors to implement mask mandates using the federal government’s financial leverage. Some hack at the CDC or FDA will issue new guidance lowering the Ct the labs use, and cases will magically start to fall.
In reality, the change will only eliminate false positives, but most Americans won’t know that. Good old Uncle Joe will be the hero, even though it is Deep-State actors in the health bureaucracies who won’t solve a problem with testing they have been aware of for months.”
On top of all that, the latest data16 shows the PCR test is likely to show false positives up to 27 days after your ability to infect others has passed. Symptoms to clearance time are seven days, but PCR tests, on average, will detect meaningless fragments for 27 days.
The US Slated to Shape the Great Reset
Why did the WHO wait this long to correct the CT guidance? Is it really a coincidence that the updated guidance was issued on the day of Biden’s inauguration? Or is it just more evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic is a political chess piece, the aim of which is to guide the world’s population into a global economic and social “reset”?
Former President Trump spent the last four years publicly stating he was battling globalization and deep state interests, whereas President Biden has a long history of supporting globalist agendas and the “New World Order,” which is the old term for what is now called the “Great Reset.” Clearly, Biden would be the preferred choice for the technocratic elite pushing this nefarious agenda to radically decrease personal liberties.
As noted in an October 29, 2020, article on the World Economic Forum website,17 it is U.S. foreign policy that will shape the Great Reset. “The United States will need to set distinct priorities to ensure its foreign policy efforts can harness its capabilities to shape the global recovery,” the article states.
While much of the discussion therein sound benevolent and good to the untrained ear, those who have investigated the Great Reset plan and are familiar with the jargon and the real meaning behind the buzz words will be able to read the truth between the lines.
Media Are Complicit in Creating the Fake Pandemic Narrative
Just how did the deep state technocracy fool the masses? In short, through their media accomplices. Without the mainstream media pumping out misleading if not flat-out false information on a daily basis (think nonstop ticker-tape with case and mortality data, for example), none of it would have been possible.
A key player behind the Great Reset is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). As explained by Swiss Policy Research, “Largely unbeknownst to the general public, executives and top journalists of almost all major U.S. media outlets have long been members of the influential Council on Foreign Relations.”18
Not to be confused with the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations or the European Council on Foreign Relations, CFR is a nonprofit think tank, the 5,000-plus members of which also include past and present presidents, politicians, secretaries of state, CIA directors, bankers, lawyers, academic professors, and corporate leaders, just to name a few.19
CFR also operates the David Rockefeller Studies Program, which in turn advises the White House on foreign policy matters. Overall, the CFR wields incredible power and influence over the U.S. White House and its policies. As reported by Swiss Policy Research:20
“In his famous article about ‘The American Establishment,’ political columnist Richard H. Rovere noted: ‘The directors of the CFR make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation …
[I]t rarely fails to get one of its members, or at least one of its allies, into the White House. In fact, it generally is able to see to it that both nominees are men acceptable to it.’ It was not until the 2016 election that the Council couldn’t, apparently, prevail.”
The Synchronization of Fake News
CFR has two international affiliates: the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. As explained by Swiss Policy Research, both of these groups were established by CFR leaders “to foster elite cooperation at the global level.”
Well-known names in the Trilateral group’s U.S. branch include David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Michael Bloomberg, and Google heavyweights Eric Schmidt and Susan Molinari, vice president for public policy at Google. Many of its board members are also members of The Aspen Institute, which grooms and mentors executives from around the world about the subtleties of globalization.
As you can see in the graphic below, major media are well represented in all three groups, which explains how a false narrative (whatever it might be) can be so widely coordinated and synchronized to the day, if not the hour.
As noted in the Swiss Policy Research post, “The Propaganda Multiplier”:21
“It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies [Associated Press (AP), Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP)] based in New York, London and Paris.
The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world.
A study of the Syria war coverage by nine leading European newspapers clearly illustrates these issues: 78% of all articles were based in whole or in part on agency reports … 0% on investigative research. Moreover, 82% of all opinion pieces and interviews were in favor of a U.S. and NATO intervention, while propaganda was attributed exclusively to the opposite side.”
The ‘Free Press’ Is Far From Independent
Until or unless these news agencies send out a notice, national and local media are unlikely to report on an event. Even photos and videos are typically sourced directly from these global news agencies. This way, people hear, see and read the exact same message everywhere.
“This dependency on the global agencies creates a striking similarity in international reporting: from Vienna to Washington, our media often report the same topics, using many of the same phrases – a phenomenon that would otherwise rather be associated with ‘controlled media’ in authoritarian states,” Swiss Policy Research writes.22
Even media outlets that have foreign correspondents on their payroll do not expect those correspondents to conduct independent investigations. They too simply report whatever the Big Three news agencies want to be covered, and from the angle they want it covered. What you end up with is a sort of echo-chamber where only one view is presented.
As one might expect, this setup makes for a perfect propaganda machine. As noted by Swiss Policy Research, “Due to the rather low journalistic performance of the mainstream media and their high dependence on a few news agencies, it is easy for interested parties to spread propaganda and disinformation in a supposedly respectable format to a worldwide audience.” Military and defense ministries are well aware of this and use it with regularity.
Full Circle Back to the WHO
We’ve already mentioned three key organizations involved in creating and pushing the Great Reset agenda forward: the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group. The WHO, which serves as the medical branch of the U.N., also plays a central role in the technocratic plan, which brings us full circle back to where we started this article.
Its role in the Great Reset agenda is why I don’t believe it’s pure coincidence that the WHO’s sudden decision to change the way we diagnose COVID-19 cases coincided with the inauguration of President Biden. It’s simply too convenient. Another clue: One of the first things Biden did when he entered office was to rejoin the WHO.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation became the WHO’s largest funder when the Trump administration, in mid-April 2020, halted funding until a White House review of the WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic can be completed.23
The GAVI Alliance — a partnership between Gates and Big Pharma with a stated aim of solving global health problems through vaccines — is also a top donor to the WHO, and one of the primary initiatives of the World Economic Forum,24 which we’ll review next.
The World Economic Forum
No deep state organizational chart is complete without the World Economic Forum, which serves as the social and economic branch of the U.N. and is the organization that hosts the annual conference of billionaires at Davos, Switzerland.25
The World Economic Forum was founded by Klaus Schwab, who also wrote the books “The Fourth Industrial Revolution”(2016), “Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution” (2018), and “COVID-19: The Great Reset.”
The World Economic Forum is a conglomeration of the world’s largest and most powerful businesses, all of which are helping to further the technocratic agenda along. They include:
- Microsoft, which made Bill Gates a billionaire
- MasterCard, which is leading the globalist charge to develop digital IDs and banking services
- Google, the No. 1 Big Data collector in the world and a leader in artificial intelligence services
- Foundations started by the world’s wealthiest people, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and George Soros’ Open Society Foundation
When you peek behind the curtain at the World Economic Forum and the WHO, you find all the same wealthy individuals and their companies and foundations who, although they claim to be working for a more equitable society and a healthier planet, are really only trying to centralize profit and power.
Technocracy by Any Other Name Is Still Technocracy
Many of the terms we’ve heard more and more of from these and other organizations in recent years actually refer to technocracy under a different name. Examples include:
The Great Reset26 | The Fourth Industrial Revolution27 |
“Build Back Better”28 | Sustainable development |
Agenda 21 | The 2030 Agenda |
The New Urban Agenda | Green economy |
The green new deal | The Paris Climate Agreement and the global warming movement in general |
All of these refer to and are part of technocracy and its resource-based economics. Their common goal is to capture ownership of all the resources of the world for a small global elite group that has the know-how to program the computer systems that will ultimately dictate the lives of everyone.
What they’re aiming for is really the ultimate form of totalitarianism. When they talk about “wealth redistribution,” what they’re actually referring to is the redistribution of resources from us to them, and that is precisely the kind of wealth transfer the COVID-19 “casedemic” facilitated.
For nearly a year, we were snookered into thinking that millions would die unless we gave up all semblance of a normal life, when in fact faulty testing had been put into place that merely detects inactive viral particles that pose no threat to health. While small business owners were forced to sacrifice everything they owned, the rich gobbled up both the market share and property that they had to forfeit because of lost business.
I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that the COVID-19 pandemic has been the biggest false flag event in human history, cooked up by technocrats and implemented through their network of global organizations that influence — if not outright direct and control — politics, health, finance and media. As noted by Lennox in her January 20, 2021, article:29
“What I have referred to as the ‘casedemic’ since September will be magically solved just in time for Joe Biden to look like a hero. For doing absolutely nothing. Do not tell me there is not a politicized deep state in our health agencies … Every business owner who has been ruined because of lockdowns due to a high number of ‘cases’ should be livid. Any parent whose child has lost a year of school should be furious. None of this was for your health.”
