The big question is WHO is funding the W.H.O. ? These anonymous donors will want something in return. The World Health Organisation is still seeking total control without accountability of everyone on the planet in the event that they ( The W.H.O. ) declare another Public Health Emergency of International Concern ( such as a pandemic) Power without accountability is tyranny, their funding without transparency is corruption .

The WHO is facing a credibility crisis, and a tidal wave of "dark money" is at the door. New research reveals the WHO Foundation, created to fund the UN health agency, is increasingly bankrolled by anonymous corporate donors. The stats are staggering: • ~$83M in total donations since 2020. • 60% is "dark money" from hidden sources. • Anonymous funding jumped from 15% in its first year to 80% in 2023. While the WHO is primarily funded by nations and the Gates Foundation, the U.S. funding halt is forcing it to rely more on private cash. Critics warn this exposes the WHO to undue influence & reputational risk. The core problem? Public health runs on trust. If we don't know who's funding the policies, how can we trust the science? Big brands like Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, and Meta are public donors, but even these raise red flags. Why is Meta funding the WHO's digital health program while concerns about its impact on teen mental health rage? The WHO Foundation CEO defends anonymity, saying some donors don't want to be "targeted." But the question remains: What are they buying? With the WHO's transparency rating now on par with right-wing dark money think tanks, the agency's greatest asset—its credibility—is on the line.

DON'T HATE - DEBATE - HOW SWISS STYLE #DIRECTDEMOCRACY SEARCHES FOR THE BEST SOLUTIONS In the Swiss system of direct democracy, debate is not an accessory to the political process—it is its very foundation. Switzerland’s unique model is shaped not only by regular votes and referenda, but by a deeply embedded culture of dialogue that extends from the federal government, where seven federal councillors govern by consensus, to the cantonal and communal levels where ordinary citizens are empowered to directly shape policy. This structure reflects an enduring commitment to discussion over confrontation, participation over delegation, and consensus over partisanship. At the federal level, the Swiss Federal Council, comprised of seven ministers from different political parties, operates as a collective executive without a dominant head of state. Collegiality The collegiality principle ensures that decisions are made jointly, behind closed doors, requiring debate, compromise, and a shared responsibility that discourages political grandstanding. Adversarial Unlike the often adversarial nature of parliaments in representative systems, where opposition parties frequently resort to rhetorical attacks or obstruction and where debate can resemble theatre rather than genuine dialogue, the Swiss system fosters a quieter but deeper negotiation. Common Ground Ministers do not campaign against one another or attempt to score political points in public; they must instead find common ground. This not only tones down hostility but also models a deliberative process to the rest of the political structure. Citizens at the heart In the cantons and communes, this ethos is reflected in mechanisms that bring political participation directly to citizens. Every Swiss citizen has the right to propose changes to laws or the constitution through initiatives, and to challenge parliamentary decisions through referenda. These tools are not simply procedural; they are democratic invitations to public debate. Before every vote, a broad public campaign unfolds, often featuring extensive media coverage, informational booklets from the government outlining both sides of an issue, and spirited but civil debates in town halls, newspapers, television, and increasingly on social media. The people as sovereign The right to launch a referendum or initiative is not limited to the political elite. It is this dispersal of power—where sovereignty truly resides with the people—that ensures a continual churning of ideas from every level of society. Historically, the Swiss tradition of deliberative democracy finds its roots in the medieval Landsgemeinde, open-air assemblies in alpine valleys where free farmers gathered to debate and vote by a show of hands. This model has been modernized but not abandoned. The spirit of the Landsgemeinde—deliberation among equals—survives in the communal assemblies still held in some cantons, and more broadly in the national political psyche. Citizens have the FIRST & LAST word These assemblies underline a profound belief that policy must be shaped with the direct input of those it affects, and that disagreement is not a sign of dysfunction but a step toward consensus. Central to this is the principle of free speech. Without freedom of expression, no meaningful debate is possible. In Switzerland, this freedom is not merely a legal right; it is a civic necessity. Public debates, citizen forums, and political campaigns thrive in a space where opposing views can be aired respectfully and taken seriously. Mere theatre This stands in sharp contrast to many representative democracies where the parliamentary floor often becomes a battleground of rehearsed soundbites and pre-scripted outrage, and where meaningful engagement with alternative viewpoints is rare. In such systems, the appearance of debate often masks a lack of genuine deliberation. Democratic tool-box Switzerland’s tools of direct democracy—initiatives, referenda, and communal assemblies—are powerful not only because they give people a say, but because they compel debate at all levels of society. Issues must be explained, justified, and defended. Structured ongoing dialogue rather than once every four years engagement with citizens Politicians must engage with the public not just during elections, but continuously. This regular and structured dialogue enhances transparency and accountability, fostering a level of trust that is increasingly rare in modern democracies. The highest ranked in trust levels globally Swiss citizens trust their government at national, cantonal and communal levels more than in many countries, not because it is infallible, but because the mechanisms exits within the Swiss system whereby government at the three levels listens, adjusts, and reflects the diverse voices of its people. In summary, Swiss-style debate is a living process spread across the federal, cantonal, and communal levels. However, it is clearly enabled by democratic tools that prioritize citizen involvement, grounded in historical practices of public assembly, and kept alive through a deep respect for free expression. This environment of constant, constructive debate ensures that decisions are better informed, more legitimate, and widely accepted. It transforms governance from a spectacle of division into a practice of shared responsibility, benefitting society by creating a resilient democratic culture where every voice has the space to be heard. In Swiss-style direct democracy, citizens are not only voters but active participants in shaping laws and policies, which ensures that public debate lies at the core of decision-making. Because initiatives and referendums allow people to bring forward issues of genuine concern, political engagement is anchored in real-life questions that matter to communities rather than abstract party agendas. The process of open discussion, persuasion, and compromise across society leads to outcomes that reflect a broader consensus and are therefore more legitimate, durable, and closely aligned with the needs of citizens. Although not perfect, it is hardly surprising that Switzerland consistently ranks at the very top of most global indices—whether in crime reduction, citizen happiness, health, economic strength, safety, wealth, or trust in government—often taking first place, sometimes third, and occasionally fourth. It suggests the Swiss may hold lessons from which we could all benefit.

Real democracy isn't a left or right construct, it's not an "ism". It's simply The Rule Of The People it always has been the definition. It isn't capitalism, socialism, communism, or any divisive construct. It also isn't "being able to vote for who you like to represent you". That's a construct that evolved when rulers of the day capitalised on the popular emerging concept of "democracy" and added this side branch called "Representative Democracy" in to take power back.

Larry Fink, Bill Gates, governments, corporations — and of course, taxpayers. This is stakeholder capitalism in action: governments and corporations are consulted, but not the taxpayers. 🤔 This is why we need #DirectDemocracy. In a true direct democracy, decisions like these would be made by the people of each country — not imposed from above, outside of democratic accountability x.com/newstart_2024/status/1…

Bill Gates is back, not with a solution for the planet, but with a blueprint for control. He's assembled a cartel of the world's most powerful corporations—BlackRock, Microsoft, GM, Bank of America—under the green banner of his "Catalyst" fund. His smooth promises of "bringing costs down" and "helping all countries participate" are a smokescreen. Here’s what he's really saying: He's creating a public-private monopoly. They will use their influence to funnel billions in government tax credits and recovery funds (your money) into their own chosen projects. They will "guide the effort," designing a market that mandates the use of their expensive "green" products—like synfuels and hydrogen—eliminating true competition and consumer choice. This isn't philanthropy; it's the Great Reset in action. It's about using the climate agenda to consolidate unprecedented power over the global energy supply, ensuring you pay for a system they own and control. This is the ultimate corporate takeover, dressed up as salvation.

#DirectDemocracy and the legal right of ordinary citizens to call for a RECALL. In a functioning democracy, the availability of tools like recall elections or to recall politicians gone rogue, serves a deeper purpose than simply enabling the public to remove elected officials at will. In Switzerland, where the political system allows for recall mechanisms as part of a broader framework of direct democracy, the essence of having the opportunity to effect a recall is not necessarily to use it, but to ensure that power remains accountable and responsive to the people at all times. The very existence of recall rights exerts a constant pressure on elected officials to govern responsibly, transparently, and in line with the electorate’s expectations. It reminds those in power that their authority is not absolute and can be challenged if it drifts too far from the public will. I liken it to the presence of a fire extinguisher 🧯 in a building, the recall exists not because fires 🔥 are expected to occur frequently, but because the mere possibility of its use provides a safeguard and encourages caution. In Switzerland, where civic culture is built on a high degree of trust and participatory governance, recalls are rarely used. Yet, their presence helps reinforce a healthy democratic balance. Officials know they can be held directly accountable between election cycles, which helps to maintain a level of political integrity and attentiveness that might otherwise erode. The power of the recall and having it as part of the citizens toolbox 🧰 lies more in its deterrent effect than in its actual deployment. It symbolizes a mature relationship between the government and the governed, one based on mutual respect, transparency, and a shared commitment to the public good. The Swiss experience underscores that such mechanisms work best not when they are frequently invoked, but when their very availability helps foster a culture in which they rarely need to be. Should you have this tool available to citizens in your country?

When you get Davos, the WEF and other supranational organizations, unelected and pushing agendas beyond the requirement to be democratically acceptable- ie operating above national governments that were elected by the people, democracy is no longer present. These organizations should be utterly ejected and their influence removed completely. They have no place in modern democratic society and should have no influence whatsoever over individual sovereign nations whose citizens vote for national governments who then prostitute themselves to these supranational unelected entities. #DirectDemocracy
Keir Starmer is in thrall to unelected technocratic institutions like the WEF in Davos rather than prioritising fixing the problems within the UK. It’s time for our political leaders to ditch Davos and wholeheartedly serve their own people. As I discussed with @TVKev | @TalkTV

The global elites are gathering at Bilderberg in Sweden right now. On the agenda is "Depopulation". Journalists from Bloomberg, De Staandard, NYT and more are there. Not to report on it but to TAKE PART in the secret meetings. Oh, the Pfizer CEO is there as well as the company making Bovaer and many more.
