Yep. Look at the photo's on each page, he is.

Oh, look at that photo-------> https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/jim-smith

He's also a board member of the World Economic Forum.

And then consider this grayzone article regarding Reuters: https://thegrayzone.com/2021/02/20/reut ... ian-media/


Reuters, BBC, and Bellingcat participated in covert UK Foreign Office-funded programs to “weaken Russia,” leaked docs reveal
Max Blumenthal·February 20, 2021


New leaked documents show Reuters’ and the BBC’s involvement in covert UK FCO programs to effect “attitudinal change” and “weaken the Russian state’s influence,” alongside intel contractors and Bellingcat.

The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have sponsored Reuters and the BBC to conduct a series of covert programs aimed at promoting regime change inside Russia and undermining its government across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, according to a series of leaked documents.

The leaked materials show the Thomson Reuters Foundation and BBC Media Action participating in a covert information warfare campaign aimed at countering Russia. Working through a shadowy department within the UK FCO known as the Counter Disinformation & Media Development (CDMD), the media organizations operated alongside a collection of intelligence contractors in a secret entity known simply as “the Consortium.”

Through training programs of Russian journalists overseen by Reuters, the British Foreign Office sought to produce an “attitudinal change in the participants,” promoting a “positive impact” on their “perception of the UK.”

“These revelations show that when MPs were railing about Russia, British agents were using the BBC and Reuters to deploy precisely the same tactics that politicians and media commentators were accusing Russia of using,” Chris Williamson, a former UK Labour MP who attempted to apply public scrutiny to the CDMD’s covert activities and was stonewalled on national security grounds, told The Grayzone.

“The BBC and Reuters portray themselves as an unimpeachable, impartial, and authoritative source of world news,” Williamson continued, “but both are now hugely compromised by these disclosures. Double standards like this just bring establishment politicians and corporate media hacks into further disrepute.”

Thomson Reuters Foundation spokesperson Jenny Vereker implicitly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked documents in an emailed response to questions from The Grayzone. However, she contended, “The inference that the Thomson Reuters Foundation was engaged in ‘secret activities’ is inaccurate and misrepresents our work in the public interest. We have for decades openly supported a free press and have worked to help journalists globally to develop the skills needed to report with independence.”

The batch of leaked files closely resembles UK FCO-related documents released between 2018 and 2020 by a hacking collective calling itself Anonymous. The same source has claimed credit for obtaining the latest round of documents.

The Grayzone reported in October 2020 on leaked materials released by Anonymous which exposed a massive propaganda campaign funded by the UK FCO to cultivate support for regime change in Syria. Soon after, the Foreign Office claimed its computer systems had been penetrated by hackers, thus confirming their authenticity.

The new leaks illustrate in alarming detail how Reuters and the BBC – two of the largest and most distinguished news organizations in the world – attempted to answer the British foreign ministry’s call for help in improving its “ability to respond and to promote our message across Russia,” and to “counter the Russian government’s narrative.” Among the UK FCO’s stated goals, according to the director of the CDMD, was to “weaken the Russian State’s influence on its near neighbours.”

Reuters and the BBC solicited multimillion-dollar contracts to advance the British state’s interventionist aims, promising to cultivate Russian journalists through FCO-funded tours and training sessions, establish influence networks in and around Russia, and promote pro-NATO narratives in Russian-speaking regions.

In several proposals to the British Foreign Office, Reuters boasted of a global influence network of 15,000 journalists and staff, including 400 inside Russia.

The UK FCO projects were carried out covertly, and in partnership with purportedly independent, high-profile online media outfits including Bellingcat, Meduza, and the Pussy Riot-founded Mediazona. Bellingcat’s participation apparently included a UK FCO intervention in North Macedonia’s 2019 elections on behalf of the pro-NATO candidate.

The intelligence contractors that oversaw that operation, the Zinc Network, boasted of establishing “a network of YouTubers in Russia and Central Asia” while “supporting participants [to] make and receive international payments without being registered as external sources of funding.” The firm also touted its ability to “activate a range of content” to support anti-government protests inside Russia.

The new documents provide critical background on the role of NATO member states like the UK in influencing the color revolution-style protests waged in Belarus in 2020, and raise unsettling questions about the intrigue and unrest surrounding jailed Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

Further, the materials cast serious doubt on the independence of two of the world’s largest and most prestigious media organizations, revealing Reuters and the BBC as apparent intelligence cut-outs feasting at the trough of a British national security state that their news operations are increasingly averse to scrutinizing.
Reuters solicits secret British Foreign Office contract to infiltrate Russian media

A series of official documents declassified in January 2020 revealed that Reuters was secretly funded by the British government throughout the 1960s and 1970s to assist an anti-Soviet propaganda organization run by the MI6 intelligence agency. The UK government used the BBC as a pass-through to conceal payments to the news group.

The revelation prompted a Reuters spokesman to declare that “the arrangement in 1969 [with the MI6] was not in keeping with our Trust Principles and we would not do this today.”

The Trust Principles outline a mission of “preserving [Reuters’] independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and news.”

In its own statement of values, the BBC proclaims, “Trust is the foundation of the BBC. We’re independent, impartial and honest.”

However, the newly leaked documents analyzed by The Grayzone appear to reveal that both Reuters and the BBC are engaged yet again in a non-transparent relationship with the UK’s foreign ministry to counter and undermine Russia.

In 2017, the non-profit arm of the Reuters media empire, the Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF), delivered a formal tender offering to “enter into a Contract with the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as represented by the British Embassy Moscow, for the provision of a project ‘Capacity Building in Russian Media.'” The letter was signed by Reuters CEO Monique Ville on July 31, 2017...

I can't help but feel that one man being Chairman of the board of Reuters and on the executive board of Pfizer and also on the board of the World Economic Forum is something of a (I shudder to use the phrase) game changer?

Form for Employees Whose Employers Are Requiring Covid-19 Injections

NOTE TO EMPLOYEE: Be sure to document the date and time you submit this form to your employer; also document the date and tme and their response if they refuse to sign it.

NOTE TO EMPLOYER: As your employee, I am requesting that you review this document, provide the requisite information, and sign the form, in regards to your requirement that employees get a Covid-19 emergency use authorization (EUA) investigational vaccine.

1) If I agree to receive an EUA Covid-19 injection, does my employee health insurance plan provide complete coverage should I experience an adverse event, or even death? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2) As an employee, does my life insurance policy provide any coverage in the event that I die from receiving an EUA Covid-19 injection? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3) As an employee, will you be providing Workers’ Compensation, disability insurance, or other resources if I have an adverse event to an EUA Covid-19 injection and am unable to come to work for days, weeks, or months, or if I am disabled for life? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4)The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that EUA vaccine recipients be provided with certain vaccine-specific information to help them make an informed decision about vaccination.8 The EUA fact sheets that must be provided are specific to each authorized Covid-19 injection and are
developed by the manufacturers of the injections (Pfzer/BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca, and the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen). The fact sheets must provide the most current and up-to-date information on the injections, and vaccine recipients must also receive information about adverse events. Have you read, understood, and provided me (and all other employees) with these fact sheets and with current information on adverse events so that I/we can make an educated decision?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


5) Have you reviewed the available databases of material adverse events reported to date for people who have received Covid-19 injections?9,10,11,12 Potential and reported adverse events include death, anaphylaxis, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, other long-term chronic diseases, blindness and deafness, infertility, fetal damage, miscarriage, and stllbirth.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6)The FDA’s guidance 13 on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to “ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances...[t]hat they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product....” Are you aware of this statement?Have you informed all employees that they have the option to refuse?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


7) With respect to the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Title 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I-III)14 reiterates that individuals be informed of “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, [and] of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.” If EUA Covid-19 investigational vaccines are ever approved by the FDA, state legislation would be required to allow companies to mandate the Covid-19 injections. Are you aware of these facts?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


8 ) EUA products are unapproved, unlicensed, and experimental. Under the Nuremberg Code—the foundation of ethical medicine—no one may be coerced to participate in a medical experiment. The individual’s consent is absolutely essential. No court has ever upheld a mandate for an EUA vaccine. In Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F. Supp. 2d 119 (2003)15, a federal court held that the U.S. military could not mandate EUA vaccines for soldiers: “...[T]he United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs” (Id.at 135). Are you aware of this?___________________________________________________________


9) The United States Code of Federal Regulatons16and the FDA require the informed consent of human subjects for medical research. The EUA Covid-19 injections are unapproved, unlicensed, investigational vaccines that are still in their experimental stage. It is unlawful to conduct medical research on a human being, even in the event of an emergency, unless steps are taken to secure the informed consent of all participants. Are you aware of this?_____________________________________________________


10) According to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines17and the FTC’s “Truth In Advertising,”18 promotional material—and especially material involving health-related products—cannot mislead consumers, omit important information, or express claims. All of this falls under the rubric of “deceptive advertising” (whereby a company is providing or endorsing a product), whether presented in the form of an ad, on a website, through email, on a poster, or in the mail. For example, statements such as “all employees are required to get the Covid-19 vaccine to make the workspace safe” or “it’s safe and effective” leave out critical information. Critical information includes the facts that Covid-19 injections are unapproved EUA vaccines that “may” or “may not” prevent Covid, won’t necessarily make the workspace safer, and could in fact cause harm. Not providing links or attachments of the manufacturers’ fact sheets and current information on adverse events is omitting safety information. Are you aware of this?____________________________________________________


11) Since the Covid lockdowns began over one year ago, there have been over 178 reported breaches of unsecured protected health information (PHI), incidents investigated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). These breaches exposed millions of people’s personal health information. Although many of these incidents were attributed to hacking, some of the breaches to PHI fell directly under the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as sharing a patent’s or person’s information with an unauthorized individual or incorrectly handling PHI.19Can you please explain your obligations to me, under HIPAA law, and how you are going to protect my personal information - both with respect to your requirement that I receive this injection? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

12) Whereas pharmaceutical companies that manufacture EUA vaccines have been protected from liability related to injuries or deaths caused by experimental agents since the PREP Act1was enacted in 2005, companies and all other institutions or individuals who mandate experimental vaccines on any human being are not protected from liability. Are you aware that you do not enjoy such liability protection?________________________________________________________________________________


13) Are you aware that employees could file a civil suit against you should they suffer an adverse event, death, or termination from their place of employment?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the legally authorized officer of the employer/company, I have read all of the above information, have provided my employees with all of the information that the FDA requires be provided to recipients of the Covid-19 injectons, and do hereby agree to assume 100% financial responsibility for covering any and all expenses from adverse events, including death, through insurance coverage or directly. In addition, I affirm that the employee will not be subjected to the loss of their job should they decline to receive a Covid-19 injection.___________________________________________________________________________________________

•Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 74% and 85% improvement for early treatment and prophylaxis (RR 0.26 [0.16-0.43] and 0.15 [0.09-0.25]), with similar results after exclusion based sensitivity analysis, restriction to peer-reviewed studies, and restriction to Randomized Controlled Trials.

•64% and 96% lower mortality is observed for early treatment and prophylaxis (RR 0.36 [0.15-0.85] and 0.04 [0.00-0.59]). Statistically significant improvements are seen for mortality, hospitalization, cases, and viral clearance. 28 studies show statistically significant improvements in isolation.

Anyone that submitted to the Moderna or Pfizer shots should have been provided the following info as part of informed consent (or otherwise they should have took it upon themselves to have looked it up), but in the -- probable -- event this didn't happen:

https://physiciansforinformedconsent.or ... -vaccines/

Here's the info for Moderna, as an example:


Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine:
Short-Term Efficacy & Safety Data


1. WHAT IS THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1273) is made from synthetic genetic material that is immersed in fatty substances, including cholesterol and polyethylene glycol (PEG). More specifically, modified RNA molecules that encode for a mutated spike (S) protein antigen of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that can cause COVID-19, are immersed in lipid nanoparticles. The drug is administered in two intramuscular 100 mcg doses, 28 days apart.1

2. HOW WAS THE VACCINE STUDIED PRIOR TO OBTAINING EUA?

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine obtained emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Dec. 18, 2020, and is currently investigational.2 The vaccine was studied through nonclinical data from rats, mice, hamsters, and nonhuman primates, and clinical data from humans.3 The EUA was based on a human clinical trial comparing approximately 15,000 subjects who received the vaccine with 15,000 subjects who did not receive the vaccine (Table 1).1 The trial included a median observation period of nine weeks; 53.6% of subjects were followed up for about two months after the second dose.1 The FDA states that due to the length of the clinical trial’s observation period, “it is not possible to assess sustained efficacy over a period longer than 2 months.”1

3. DOES THE VACCINE PREVENT HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS?

Since only 10 hospitalized cases and one death of COVID-19 were observed, the clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to accurately measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent hospitalizations or deaths from COVID-19.1,4 The vaccine may be only 13% effective against hospitalized COVID-19 cases. See Table 1. The FDA states, “A larger number of individuals at high risk of COVID-19 and higher attack rates would be needed to confirm efficacy of the vaccine against mortality.”1

4. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE VACCINE IN ADULTS AND THE ELDERLY?

Vaccine effectiveness was calculated by observing the vaccine status of 196 COVID-19 cases, where a COVID-19 case was defined as a positive SARS-CoV-2 test together with the presence of at least either one COVID-19 respiratory symptom or two non-respiratory symptoms, at least 14 days after the second dose. In subjects 18 to 64 years old, the vaccine was 91%–98% effective over a two-month observation period.8 However, since there were only 33 COVID-19 cases observed in subjects 65 years or older, the clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to accurately measure the vaccine’s effectiveness in that age group. The vaccine may be only 61% effective in subjects 65 years or older and 0% effective in subjects 75 years or older.5 See Table 1. Subjects 65 years or older comprise about 80% of all COVID-19 deaths, and subjects 75 years or older comprise about 60% of all COVID-19 deaths.6

Image

5. IS THE VACCINE EFFECTIVE IN CHILDREN?

Safety and efficacy data was not collected for children younger than 18 years old.1 See Table 1.

Image

6. IS THE VACCINE EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING INFECTION WITH SARS-COV-2 OR THE SPREAD OF COVID-19?

The Moderna clinical trial was not designed to observe asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2 or the effect of the vaccine on the spread (transmission) of COVID-19. Consequently, the FDA states that “it is possible that asymptomatic infections may not be prevented as effectively as symptomatic infections” and “data are limited to assess the effect of the vaccine against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from individuals who are infected despite vaccination.” Furthermore, “additional evaluations including data from clinical trials and from vaccine use post-authorization will be needed to assess the effect of the vaccine in preventing virus shedding and transmission, in particular in individuals with asymptomatic infection.”1 Approximately 40% of SARS-CoV-2 infections are asymptomatic.7

To try to address the limitations above, Moderna performed an analysis of a few cases that tested positive but reported no symptoms. However, the analysis still lacked statistical power to produce an accurate measurement, and the vaccine may be only 20% effective in preventing asymptomatic cases.4

Image

7. WHAT IS THE RISK OF A SEVERE SIDE EFFECT FROM THE VACCINE?

The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial found the overall incidence of severe adverse events during the two-month observation period to be 2% or 1 in 50 in vaccinated subjects between 18 and 64 years old and 1.2% in the unvaccinated group, resulting in a vaccine risk of 0.8% or 1 in 125 vaccinated subjects. The incidence of severe adverse events was 1.7% or 1 in 59 in vaccinated subjects 65 years or older and 0.8% in the unvaccinated group, resulting in a vaccine risk of 0.9% or 1 in 111 vaccinated subjects.1 Consequently, subjects who received the vaccine had nearly double the risk of a severe adverse event occurring in the two-month observation period compared to subjects who did not receive the vaccine. See Table 1. A severe adverse event was one that persisted for longer than a week and either prevented the ability to perform daily activities and required medical intervention, or required hospitalization.1,8

Additionally, as there were only 7,500 subjects 18 to 53 years of age who received the vaccine,1 and since as of March 23, 2021, about 1 in 13,000 people 18 to 39 years of age contracted a fatal case of COVID-19 in the U.S.,6 the clinical trial does not have sufficient data to determine safety in subjects who are 18 to 39 years of age. Per the FDA, “There are currently insufficient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in subpopulations such as children less than 18 years of age, pregnant and lactating individuals, and immunocompromised individuals.”1 And, because all subjects were observed for only two months, the long-term safety of the vaccine for any age group is not known. The FDA states, “Long-term safety and long-term effectiveness are areas the Sponsor [Moderna] identified as missing information.”1

Image

8. IS THE COVID-19 VACCINE EFFECTIVE AND SAFER THAN COVID-19?

The extent to which the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is effective and safer than COVID-19 is not known. The clinical trial indicates that in subjects 65 years or older, the vaccine may be only 61% effective, and in subjects 75 years or older, the age group that comprises about 60% of all COVID-19 deaths, the vaccine may be 0% effective. The clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent hospitalizations and deaths, and the trial had limited data to assess whether the vaccine prevents asymptomatic infection or spread (transmission) of the virus.

Severe adverse events in the vaccine group occurred in 1 in 50 subjects between 18 and 64 years old and in 1 in 59 subjects 65 years or older in the Moderna clinical trial. Those subjects were unable to perform normal daily activities for more than seven days and required medical attention. Furthermore, for people 18 to 39 years of age, the clinical trial did not include enough subjects to be able to show that the vaccine is safer than the disease, and because the clinical trial observation period lasted only two months, the incidence of long-term side effects from the vaccine for any age group is not known.

Pretty interesting hypothesis with regards to the spike protein and the blood clotting.

I thought you didn't trust any of them, so why would you trust an article based on their info?

But I'm not contesting any of it, just pointing out that your source has a clear bias in how they present information, which I would think was a good thing to know about.

Hard disagree. You don't counter bias with more bias, but with truthful and complete information.
