Hypocrite Elites and Globalists Dine on Wagyu Beef During G20 Summit While They Push Bugs and Fake Meat on Peasants
On November 15–16, 2022, the Group of Twenty (G20) met in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, for their seventeenth annual summit, under the theme ‘Recover Together, Recover Stronger.’
The G20 is a summit of the world’s major economies. Its members are responsible for more than 80% of the world’s gross domestic product, 75% of global trade, and 60% of the world’s total population.
The G20 is made up of 19 countries and the European Union. The 19 countries are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, and the US.
Both Bill Gates, a business mogul and philanthropist, and World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab were present at this year’s summit.
Indonesians proudly showcased their country’s delicious cuisine to an audience of elites and globalists, who clearly enjoyed themselves.
“We want [leaders and guests] to have a good impression about Indonesia,” the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a text message to Bloomberg. “So we serve them the variety of Indonesian food and present them with a glimpse of Indonesia’s rich culinary tradition.”
On Tuesday, between sessions, the leaders had lunch of satay skewers, sirloin wagyu, vegetable rice, tempeh (a fermented soybean cake), and prawn crackers.
Dinner for the Bali summit leaders included beef rendang (Indonesia’s famous stew), steamed cod and asparagus in Balinese turmeric dressing, and Aceh chocolate mousse, according to Bloomberg.
Supposedly from the G20 Summit, this “Diversity in One” menu has been making the rounds online.
“You’ll own nothing and eat bugs, while these climates hypocrites dine on Wagyu beef,” the caption reads.
Social media users voiced their opinions on the dinner menu, which featured wagyu beef despite the widespread promotion of insect and fake meat by the elites and globalists.
The globalists and freaks in the left-wing media are trying to convince people to eat bugs and fake meat.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the FDA announced Wednesday that laboratory-grown chicken developed by Upside Food, is “safe to eat,” clearing the way for the California-based company that creates cell-cultured chickens to begin selling its products.
To manufacture its meat, Upside Foods harvests cells from live animals, chicken tissue, and uses the cells to grow meat in stainless-steel tanks known as bioreactors.
The agency issued a statement Wednesday announcing it evaluated Upside Food’s production and cultured cell material and has “no further questions” about the safety of its cultivated chicken filet.
“The world is experiencing a food revolution,” stated FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf. “Advancements in cell culture technology are enabling food developers to use animal cells obtained from livestock, poultry, and seafood in the production of food with these products expected to be ready for the US market in the near future.”

SENT TO ALL ARIZONA STATE LEGISLATORS ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2022 AT 2:30 PM EST ARIZONA RESIDENTS DEMAND FOR NEW ELECTION
The 2022 Arizona Election is an absolute farce, and the people of Arizona have zero confidence in any of the results reported thus far.
Since 2020, all Americans – especially Arizona voters – expected that over a 2 year period elected officials would have plenty of time to fix the electoral system.
2 years later, it’s obvious that things have gotten even worse, and based on my conversations with several Senators and House Members, the same people who have failed to correct what happened in 2020 are not familiar with the term “insanity” : DOING THE SAME THING OVER & OVER, EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT.
People in Arizona are disgusted, and have zero trust in the voting system. At the same time, they’re somewhat fearful of speaking publicly about their distrust of the 2022 election results, because they’ve been abandoned by their elected officials who purport to be advocates for election integrity.
Enough is enough. On behalf of several Arizona patriot groups and officials, I am writing to inform each of you that Arizonans of both political parties demand a new election.
Not a “re-do” of the most recent election, because no state should ever re-do an election that involves intentional voter disenfranchisement, electronics, fake ballots, or counting ballots in secret. RE-DOING YOUR 2022 ELECTION MESS IS NOT AN OPTION.
Not an “audit” of a system that is designed to fraudulently match up ballot counts with machine counts. Since 2020, we’ve learned from whistleblowers how the voting machines and software programs are specifically designed to match-up actual ballots, fraudulent ballots, and machine counts to produce the pre-determined results. No audit will reveal the source code manipulation, or identify which warehouses store the fraudulent ballots.
Thus far, there has been no election in 2022. It’s obvious from the reported vote tabulations and counts that the electoral system is not worthy of being called an election.
The people of Arizona demand an actual election as follows: 1. A Special Master assigned to oversee Arizona elections, removing Katie Hobbs, Bill Gates, and Steven Richer from election oversight.2. Conduct a new election in Arizona on December 6, 2022:In person votingPaper ballotsIdentification requiredPrecinct level hand counting of ballots on December 6, 2022Ballots counted at the precinct to be sealed & transported by the county sheriff to a secure locationComplete election process transparency.Arizona citizens demand Arizona election officials agree to these terms by close of business on Friday, November 18, 2022. If these demands for a new election are refused, Arizona citizens, joined by American citizens from across the country, will peacefully descend on Arizona until the new election is conducted.Please be advised that, per the citizens of Arizona, you have until the close of business tonight to respond to the will of the people, at which time you should either agree to a new election, or resign from office for failing to fulfill your duties and constitutional obligations.
As an Ohio citizen, I wish to inform you that I intend to personally sue the State of Arizona and each of you personally for failing to protect our southern border by fraudulently installing a Governor that has no intention of protecting our nation from human/sex trafficking, drug trafficking, terrorist infiltration, and uncontrolled invasion of the United States.
Before you consider failing to act, please read the following article & tell us why anyone should ever trust the Arizona 2022 election results.ARIZONA ELECTION UPDATE: 119,241 REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR TREASURER & NOT THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORPlease immediately make a public announcement of when a new election will take place, and additionally contact all county election officials and supervisors to prevent them from certifying this obviously fraudulent 2022 election. If you fail to act in favor of the people of Arizona, please immediately resign.
Act now, but certainly before the end of the day. Per the citizens of Arizona, this is not a polite request, it’s a reasonable demand. As a talk show host and commentator, I will publicly hold each of you accountable for your actions from this day forward.
You’ve had 2 years to get this right —AND FAILED. Now it’s time to get crackin, or please get out of the way.
This is how it’s done: Over 3 million Brazilians filled the streets on Republic Day yesterday, Nov. 15, to protest the stolen elections.
The party of President Jair Bolsonaro presented its report and announced it will apply to have the election annulled since the results could not be validated.
Since the massive fraud during the runoff election on October 30th in Brazil, millions of Brazilians have been protesting on the streets every day against electoral fraud by Communist convicted criminal Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Mainstream media such as O Globo refuse to report on what may be the largest protests the world has ever seen, fueling even more rage and disappointment among the Brazilian people.
Earlier today, The Gateway Pundit reported on the corrupt Supreme Court pushing unconstitutional edicts to install the Socialist criminal as president:
As hundreds of thousands continue to protest in the streets in Brazil, corrupt leftist Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes wants the Minister of Defense removed for telling the truth about the stolen election. A conflict between the pro-Lula Supreme Court and the pro-Bolsonaro military looms.
The left-wing Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who enabled convicted Communist embezzler Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to even run for President, wants to have Minister of Defense General Paulo Sergio Nogueira deposed.
On Wednesday 16.11. Alexandre de Moraes sent a request from Deputy Judge Marcelo Calero to the Attorney General’s Office to remove the Minister of Defense, O Antagonista reports.
On Nov. 10, as required by law, the Ministry of Defense filed its report on the October 30 election with the Supreme Electoral Court, stating that “It is not possible to say the electronic voting system is free from the influence of malware that could affect its outcome.”
Instead of investigating the allegations, the Supreme Court charged the report “endangered the physical safety of citizens” who were “involuntarily encouraged” to protest – as if the more than 3 million Brazilians who turned out on Republic Day Nov. 15 to protest the steal didn’t really know what they were doing.
But the corrupt Supreme Court was not finished.
On Thursday, the far-left court ordered banks to block funds from at least 42 agricultural entrepreneurs supporting President Jair Bolsonaro.
Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the blocking of the bank accounts of at least 42 individuals and companies in Mato Grosso, suspected of financing the protests, CBN reported.
“The list was made by the Federal Police and the Federal Highway Police at the request of Moraes himself, upon receiving the news that 115 trucks had moved to Brasília, with the aim of reinforcing the acts, at the headquarters of the Army’s General Headquarters (QC). The decision was forwarded to the Central Bank last Saturday,” the outlet reported.
“In the decision, the minister stated that the rights to strike and assemble are guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. However, he said that the acts carried out since the first week of November are “anti-democratic” and “illegal.”
These businessmen own many of the trucks that blocked highways in protest at the victory of the Workers’ Party in the elections. In the last week, the far-right activists have placed their vehicles in front of barracks with the undisguised objective of demanding a military coup.
Until now, the generals have ignored the requests of these Bolsonaro supporters who ask to “save Brazil from communism” by preventing Lula from assuming office on Jan. 1, 2023.
Judge De Moraes specified that the rallies demanding a coup d’état represent an abuse of the right of assembly since they seek to promote non-compliance with the electoral decision, the rupture of the rule of law, and the installation of an exception regime.
This happens, for example, on the outskirts of the Army Barracks in Brasilia, where Bolsonaro’s supporters have been camping since October 31, with the logistical support provided by the businessmen.
“This scenario requires an absolutely proportional reaction from the State, in the sense of preserving fundamental rights and guarantees,” De Moraes pointed out.
The latest Supreme Court lawlessness is NOT discouraging the mass movement against election fraud.
Marcio de Floripa reports from Brazil that the people are still in the streets. They will not be silenced by the corrupt Supreme Court.

November 16, 2022 at 05:06PM Angry Voter Annihilates Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Over Midterm Vote Count Debacle
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors was confronted by an angry activist over its poor handling of the week-long midterm election vote count.
“Once again, the eyes of the world are upon Maricopa County for another botched election. Am I here to accuse you of stealing the vote? Heavens no, because that would make me a terrorist, wouldn’t it?” Matt Baker told the board on Wednesday.
“Let me ask you: if you took your life savings to a bank, and the teller put them in the machine and the machine kicked out one out of four of your bills, and the teller said, ‘don’t worry, we’ll put them in Box 3 over here, and we’ll let you know how many were in there later. We’ll send them off to a separate location and someone will be sure to get back to you and tell you how much money you have. Would you be okay with that? No, you would not be okay with that.”
“Now ask yourself the question, which is more valuable, your vote or your money? Now ask a lobbyist that same question,” he continued, getting more fired up.
“Now ask a campaign manager that question. Now ask Mark Zuckerberg that question which is more valuable – your money or your vote, or your country, or this world, or the corruption that is taking over every single county in this nation!”
“And then you look into your own soul and you look back at yourself in the mirror and realize that you are the cancer that is tearing this nation apart!! Good day!” he concluded before exiting the podium.
This comes after the Decision Desk called the Arizona gubernatorial race for Democrat candidate Katie Hobbs a week after Election Day, despite most polls showing Kari Lake held an 11-point lead across the state.
November 16, 2022 at 05:45AM WEF’s Klaus Schwab Gives Speech To G20 On The “Need To Restructure The World”
Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum find themselves waiting around for the next global crisis event after the covid pandemic turned out to be much less threatening to the public than they had originally hoped. In the meantime, Schwab continues to pontificate on the virtues of the “Great Reset” and the usefulness of crisis as a means to accomplish a “restructuring” of the current world order.
The restructuring that the WEF obsesses over is a global socialist system based on Schwab’s concepts of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Shared Economy and Stakeholder Capitalism (corporate governance). He does not say much in terms of planning in his speech to the G20, but he does imply that while fragmentation is necessary, too much fragmentation could be troublesome. In other words, controlled chaos is valuable to the globalist agenda, but uncontrolled chaos would be disastrous for them.
Trump calls for a new election in Arizona ‘IMMEDIATELY’

President Donald Trump blasted the delayed election process in Arizona, calling for a new election to take place “immediately.”
According to The Hill, 93 percent of the votes in Arizona have been counted as of Monday, with Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake trailing Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs by just under 25,000 votes.
Last Friday, Fox News announced that incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly defeated Republican nominee Blake Masters in the Senate race in Arizona, prompting the 45th president to sound the alarm over voting issues in the state.
Trump is demanding that Arizona conduct a new election due to allegations that 20 percent of voting centers in Maricopa County experienced issues with voting machines.
“Idiot, and possibly corrupt, officials have lost control of the tainted Election in Arizona,” Trump said on Truth Social over the weekend. “MACHINES BROKEN IN REPUBLICAN AREAS. A NEW ELECTION MUST BE CALLED FOR IMMEDIATELY!”
Amid the prolonged ballot counting process, the 45th president has warned that the same voter integrity issues that occurred in the 2020 election are happening again.
“In Maricopa County they’re at it again,” Trump said. “Voting Machines in large numbers didn’t work, but only in Republican districts. People were forced to wait for hours, then got exhausted or had other things to do and left the voting lines by the thousands.”
In Trump’s post on Truth Social, he explained that Kari Lake “was taken to a Liberal Democrat district in order to vote” but explained that other voters were not as fortunate and were not able to vote.
Highlighting the possibility of widespread voter fraud in the midterm elections, Trump stated, “This is a scam and voter fraud, no different than stuffing the ballot boxes.”
Between what Trump believes are “rigged elections” and the Biden administration’s open border policy, Trump described the United States as a “third world country” and a “failing nation” in a separate post on Truth Social. The 45th president is once again calling for Republican leadership to take a stand against voter fraud before it is too late.
“They stole the Electron from Blake Masters,” Trump argued. “Do Election over again!”

IT BEGINS: Patriots in Arizona Call for a New Legitimate Midterm Election on December 6
The Arizona election is a total mess. It’s full of corruption in almost every area. It is uncertifiable as a result. A new free and fair election is demanded.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs should have recused herself due to her running for governor in this election but her conflict of interest was ignored.
The same people involved in the uncertifiable 2020 Election were also involved in this election. They too should have been removed.
The systems are the same systems with still unanswered questions from the 2020 Election.
As a result a group of citizens in Arizona released a statement last night calling for a new election. They request that this election in the state be held on December 6.
This bold statement has merit and precedent.
In the US there have been numerous instances in the past 20 years where elections have been redone.
We suggested this remedy with the 2020 Election which was uncertifiable in numerous states due to rampant election abuse and fraud.
Joe Oltmann, Pete Santilli, and others shared this statement last night on Conservative Daily on Rumble. Below is their broadcast of this historic announcement. Overwhelmingly citizens feel that they were cheated.via The Gateway Pundit
No matter how much everyone’s gushing for DeSantis, we cannot erase the following facts from his background.
After high school, DeSantis attended Yale University to earn a degree in history. He joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
In 2001, DeSantis received a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors and honors from Yale University.
After spending a year as a history lecturer at the Darlington School, he earned a Juris Doctor degree with honors from Harvard Law School. He received this degree in 2005.
In 2004, while DeSantis was in the middle of his sophomore year at Harvard Law School, he was honored to be enlisted as an officer in the United States Navy and given a position in the Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG). 2005 was the year he graduated from the Naval Justice School. Later that year he received orders to serve as a prosecutor in the JAG Trial Service Office Command South East, located at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.
In 2006 he was awarded the rank of Lieutenant after being promoted from the position of Lieutenant Junior Grade. He was employed by the Commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) and his duties included direct contact with inmates at the Guantanamo Bay Joint Detention Facility.
In 2007, DeSantis reported to the Naval Special Warfare Command Group in Coronado, California. There he was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq in 2007 as Legal Advisor to SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah. He served in this capacity for the duration of the troop surge.
In April 2008, DeSantis returned to the United States and shortly after his return was assigned to the Naval Region Southeast Legal Service. His appointment as Special Assistant United States Attorney to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida was made possible by the United States Department of Justice.
2010, DeSantis served as a defense attorney until discharged from that capacity. At the same time, he agreed to accept a reserve rank in the US Navy Reserve as a lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.
The Bronze Star Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal are just a few of the honors DeSantis has received throughout his service. As of 2022, he was still serving in the United States Navy Reserve.
Christina DeSantis, Ron Desantis’ 30 year old sister, died in 2015 from completely unforeseen causes. Although more than five years have passed since her death, her family has not commented further on the circumstances of her death.
Much More on Christina DeSantis:
Ron DeSantis was a Congressman at the time of 30 year old Christina DeSantis’s death in 2015. Strangely, there was virtually zero media coverage of the death of the sister of a U.S. Congressman.
Christina DeSantis’s Linked-In lists her employer at the time of her untimely death as KPMG Volcker Solution. Volcker Wikipedia:Paul Adolph Volcker Jr. (September 5, 1927 – December 8, 2019) was an American economist who served as the 12th chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987. During his tenure as chairman, Volcker was widely credited with having ended the high levels of inflation seen in the United States throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.[citation needed] He previously served as the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 1975 to 1979.
Coutts Bank: is a London-headquartered private bank and wealth manager. Founded in 1692, it is the eighth oldest bank in the world. Today, Coutts forms part of NatWest Group‘s wealth management division.[3] In the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, Coutts Crown Dependencies operates as a trading name of The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited. Money laundering rule breaches: In March 2012 Coutts was fined £8.75m for breaches of money laundering rules after “serious” and “systemic” problems in handling the affairs of “politically exposed persons“, customers entrusted with a prominent public function, requiring money-laundering checks.[29] The Financial Services Authority (FSA) fined Coutts because of an “unacceptable risk” that the bank could have been handling the proceeds of crime for a three-year period up to November 2010 after failing to properly deal with “politically exposed” customers.[29] Following an industry-wide review in 2010, the FSA found that Coutts was not conducting robust-enough checks on such high-risk customers and was not monitoring relationships with them properly. The FSA reviewed a sample of 103 high-risk customer files, and identified deficiencies in 73 of them.[29] The FSA’s acting director of enforcement and financial crime, Tracey McDermott, said that “Coutts’s failings were significant, widespread and unacceptable. Its conduct fell well below the standards we expect and the size of the financial penalty demonstrates how seriously we view its failures”.[29] Coutts’s bonus system rewarded bankers for opening accounts, providing an incentive to bring in new business without too much scrutiny, and the bank’s anti-money laundering team, required to identify high-risk customers, failed to identify enough “politically exposed persons”.[29] In two cases reviewed by the FSA, bankers did not conduct appropriate checks on the customers, and failed to identify serious criminal allegations against them. There were five cases where sources had provided “adverse intelligence” such as allegations of criminal activity, but all the accounts had been approved by Coutts.[29]A spokesperson for Coutts said that there was no evidence that money laundering took place as a result of its deficient controls, and said that “We recognise our systems weren’t totally adequate in the past and we’ve taken steps to improve these”. Coutts would have been fined £12.5m if it had not agreed to settle at an early stage in the investigation.[29]
Ron Desantis Was A Member of St. Elmo Society
DeSantis was a member of St. Elmo Society, a secret society at Yale University. It was founded in 1889 as an independent entity for seniors within the nationally chartered fraternity, Delta Phi (&Delta &Phi), Omicron Chapter (1889-1925).
St. Elmo is a non-profit organization that provides supplementary education to its members through various activities and interactions. It is the hope that these methods will inspire new meaning to the students’ Yale education. In return, the delegation must commit itself to by-laws, rules, and guidelines set forth by the Corporation’s Board of Governors.
The name “St. Elmo” was first used in 1889 at the Omicron Chapter of Delta Phi at Yale University, and was based on the historical interconnection of St. Elmo and the Knights of Malta. The cross of the Knights of Malta had been adopted as the emblem of Delta Phi in 1833.
The Badge of The Delta Phi, pictured above, has been worn by members of The Delta Phi Fraternity continuously since its adoption in 1833. This badge, based on the Maltese Cross worn by the Knights of St. John (later, the Knights Hospitaller and finally the Knights of Malta), has many symbolic meanings to members of the fraternity. This design was also to give birth to one of the most enduring traditions of Delta Phi: the use of the name St. Elmo in association with the fraternity.
The name St. Elmo has been in use by some chapters of the fraternity for over 100 years (longer than many other nationals have existed). The practice started at Omicron (Yale), who sought a distinctive name for their home. Once again, hearkening back to the Knights of Malta, who were mariners, the men of Omicron appropriated the name of St. Elmo, the patron saint of mariners. The practice caught on and at many campuses the names Delta Phi and St. Elmo have become synonymous adding yet another layer of tradition to this unique story.
Delta Phi has remained an exclusive fraternity. Rather than engaging in the wholesale expansion policies that have marked the operation of other Greek letter fraternities, the brothers of Delta Phi choose to establish chapters only at the finest schools and usually with proximity to other chapters. It grants its chapters a substantial degree of local autonomy – allowing them to develop their own traditions and policies within the scope of a larger institution.
On Jun. 14, 2022 (Tuesday) DeSantis was listed as a member of St. Elmo Hall (secret society) at Yale, but the next day, Jun. 15, 2022 (Wednesday) his name disappeared.
DeSantis was listed on St. Elmo’s Wikipedia page last year: (see Wayback Machine)
In a speech in Doha on Monday, veteran New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh alleged that the U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) had been infiltrated by Christian fanatics who see themselves as modern-day Crusaders and aim to “change mosques into cathedrals.” In particular, he alleged that former JSOC head Gen. Stanley McChrystal — later U.S. commander in Afghanistan — and his successor, Vice Adm. William McRaven, as well as many other senior leaders of the command, are “are all members of, or at least supporters of, Knights of Malta.” What was he talking about?
Not exactly clear. There’s not much evidence to suggest that the Knights of Malta are the secretive cabal of anti-Muslim fundamentalists that Hersh described. (For the record, when contacted by Foreign Policy, McChrystal said that he is not a member.) But they are certainly an anomalous presence in international politics and have provoked their share of conspiracy theories over the years.
The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta is a Roman Catholic organization based in Rome with around 13,000 members worldwide. The group was founded in 1048 by Amalfian merchants in Jerusalem as a monastic order that ran a hospital to tend to Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land. At the height of its power, the order was also tasked by Rome with the additional military function of defending Christians from the local Muslim population. The Knights of St. John were just one of a number of Christian military orders founded during this period — including the fabled but now defunct Knights of Templar.
When the Sultan of Egypt retook Jerusalem in 1291, the Knights of St. John went into exile, settling in Rhodes 20 years later. In 1523 they were forced from Rhodes by the Sultan’s forces and settled in Malta, which they ruled until they were dislodged by Napoleon’s army in 1798. The order settled in Rome in the mid-19th century, where it remains to this day.
Despite its name, the Knights haven’t had any military function since leaving Malta. Instead, the order has gone back to its charitable roots by sponsoring medical missions in more than 120 countries.
When the order was founded, knights were expected to take a vow of poverty, chastity, and obedience upon joining. Nowadays, obedience is enough. Membership is still by invitation only, but you no longer have to be a member of the nobility. In recent years, the organization has become increasingly American in membership. The leader of the order, referred to as the prince and grand master, is elected for life in a secret conclave and must be approved by the pope.
Despite having no fixed territory besides its headquarters building in Rome, the order is considered a sovereign entity under international law. It prints its own postage stamps and coins — though these are mostly for novelty value — and enjoys observer status at the United Nations, which classifies it as a nonstate entity like the Red Cross. The Knights maintain diplomatic relations with 104 countries. The order does not have official relations with the United States, though it has offices in New York, for the United Nations delegation, and Washington, for its representation at the Inter-American Development Bank.
Because of its secretive proceedings, unique political status, and association with the Crusades, the order has been a popular target for conspiracy theorists. Alleged members have included former CIA Directors William Casey and John McCone, Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca, and GOP fixture Pat Buchanan, though none have ever acknowledged membership. Various theories have tied the Knights to crimes including the Kennedy assassination and spreading the AIDS virus through its clinics in Africa.
In 2006, a newspaper article in the United Arab Emirates claimed that the Knights were directly influencing U.S. policy in Iraq and Afghanistan, reprising their role in the Crusades. Following the article, Islamist websites in Egypt urged followers to attack the order’s embassy in Cairo, forcing the organization to issue a statement denying any military role.
To be fair, the Knights have been involved in their fair share of political intrigues. In 1988, the charge d’affaires at the order’s embassy in Havana confessed to being a double agent, reporting to both the CIA and Cuban intelligence. According to journalist Jeremy Scahill’s book Blackwater,Joseph Schmitz, a former executive at the company who also served as inspector general for the U.S. Department of Defense, boasted of his membership in the Knights in his official biography. The defense contractor now known as Xe’s chief executive, Erik Prince, reportedly espoused Christian supremacist beliefs, and its contractors in Iraq used codes and insignia based on the order’s medieval compatriots, the Knights of the Templar. However, there’s no evidence to suggest the Knights of Malta had any direct influence over the company.
So while the group is, for the most part, a charitable organization with little resemblance to the sinister portrait painted by its detractors, an image-makeover might be in order as it finishes off its 10th century.
In a speech billed as a discussion of the Bush and Obama eras, New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh delivered a rambling, conspiracy-laden diatribe here Monday expressing his disappointment with President Barack Obama and his dissatisfaction with the direction of U.S. foreign policy.
“Just when we needed an angry black man,” he began, his arm perched jauntily on the podium, “we didn’t get one.”
It quickly went downhill from there.
Hersh, whose exposés of gross abuses by members of the U.S. military in Vietnam and Iraq have earned him worldwide fame and high journalistic honors, said he was writing a book on what he called the “Cheney-Bush years” and saw little difference between that period and the Obama administration.
He said that he was keeping a “checklist” of aggressive U.S. policies that remained in place, including torture and “rendition” of terrorist suspects to allied countries, which he alleged was ongoing.
He also charged that U.S. foreign policy had been hijacked by a cabal of neoconservative “crusaders” in the former vice president’s office and now in the special operations community.
“What I’m really talking about is how eight or nine neoconservative, radicals if you will, overthrew the American government. Took it over,” he said of his forthcoming book. “It’s not only that the neocons took it over but how easily they did it — how Congress disappeared, how the press became part of it, how the public acquiesced.”
Hersh then brought up the widespread looting that took place in Baghdad after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. “In the Cheney shop, the attitude was, ‘What’s this? What are they all worried about, the politicians and the press, they’re all worried about some looting? … Don’t they get it? We’re gonna change mosques into cathedrals. And when we get all the oil, nobody’s gonna give a damn.’”
“That’s the attitude,” he continued. “We’re gonna change mosques into cathedrals. That’s an attitude that pervades, I’m here to say, a large percentage of the Joint Special Operations Command.”
He then alleged that Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who headed JSOC before briefly becoming the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and his successor, Vice Adm. William McRaven, as well as many within JSOC, “are all members of, or at least supporters of, Knights of Malta.”
Hersh may have been referring to the Sovereign Order of Malta, a Roman Catholic organization commited to “defence of the Faith and assistance to the poor and the suffering,” according to its website.
“Many of them are members of Opus Dei,” Hersh continued. “They do see what they’re doing — and this is not an atypical attitude among some military — it’s a crusade, literally. They see themselves as the protectors of the Christians. They’re protecting them from the Muslims [as in] the 13th century. And this is their function.”
“They have little insignias, these coins they pass among each other, which are crusader coins,” he continued. “They have insignia that reflect the whole notion that this is a culture war. … Right now, there’s a tremendous, tremendous amount of anti-Muslim feeling in the military community.””
Hersh relayed that he had recently spoken with “a man in the intelligence community… somebody in the joint special operations business” about the downfall of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia. “He said, ‘Oh my God, he was such a good ally.’”
“Tunisia’s going to change the game,” Hersh added later. “It’s going to scare the hell out of a lot of people.”
Moving to Pakistan, where Hersh noted he had been friendly with Benazir Bhutto, the journalist told of a dinner meeting with Asif Ali Zardari, the late prime minister’s husband, in which Hersh said the Pakistani president was brutally disdainful of his own people.
Hersh described a trip he made to Swat, where the Pakistani military had just dislodged Taliban insurgents who had taken over the scenic valley, a traditional vacation area for the urban middle class. Hersh said he asked Zardari about the tent cities he saw along the road, where people were living in harsh, unsanitary conditions.
“Well, those people there in Swat, that’s what they deserve,” the Pakistani president replied, according to Hersh. Asked why, Hersh said Zardari responded, “Because they supported the Taliban.” (Note: Hersh’s conversation is not recounted in his 2009 New Yorker article on Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, presumably because it coudn’t be verified.)
The veteran journalist also alleged that the CIA station chief in Islamabad, who was recently recalled after his name surfaced in Pakistani court documents and in the lively Pakistani press, had actually been fired for disputing the plans of Gen. David Petraeus, who took over the Afghan war last summer after General McChrystal was summarily dismissed.
“When Petraeus issued a very optimistic report about the war in December that he gave to the president,” Hersh said, the station chief “just declared it was bankrupt… internally. He just said ‘This is completely wrongheaded. The policy’s wrongheaded.’ Off he goes. Out he goes.”
“I’ve given up being disillusioned about the CIA,” Hersh said. “They’re trained to lie, period. They will lie to their president, they will lie certainly to the Congress, and they will lie to the American people. That’s all there is to it.”
Hersh was speaking on the invitation of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, which operates a branch campus in Qatar.
The Knights of Malta ALL have diplomatic immunity. They can ship goods across borders without paying duty or undergoing customs check. Does that ring any bells? In any case, that is power.
The Knights of Malta is held up by a backbone consisting of nobility. Nearly half of the 10,000 members belong to Europe’s oldest and most powerful families. This cements the alliance between the Vatican and the “Black Nobility.” The Black Nobility is mostly the rich and powerful of Europe. The head of the Black Nobility is the family that can claim direct descendancy from the last Roman emperor. Maybe now you can see that things are beginning to fall into their proper place. Membership in the Knights of Malta entails obedience to one’s superior in THE ORDER and ultimately to the Pope. Therefore, a U.S. ambassador who is also a member of the Knights of Malta faces a conflict of interest. Why is this fact ignored? President Bush appointed Knight of Malta Thomas Melledy to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.Bill Cooper / <cite>Behold A Pale Horse</cite>
The Knights of Malta is a world organization with its threads weaving through business, banking, politics, the CIA, other intelligence organizations, P2, religion, education, law, military, think tanks, foundations, the United States Information Agency, the United Nations, and numerous other organizations. They are not the oldest but are one of the oldest branches of the Order of the Quest in existence. The world head of the Knights of Malta is elected for a life term, with the approval of the Pope. The Knights of Malta have their own Constitution and are sworn to work toward the establishment of a New World Order with the Pope at its head. Knights of Malta members are also powerful members of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.Bill Cooper / <cite>Behold A Pale Horse</cite>
It should also be noted that Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. is a Knight of Malta.
Meet Ron DeSantis’ Media Guru, Christina Pushaw. She worked in the Nation of Georgia to get a George
Soros Sock Puppet elected President.
She then went to the United States and failed to register as a Foreign Agent, for many years. But, instead of being prosecuted as her contemporary was, the DOJ let her register with ZERO penalty. This DOJ.
So clearly, she is NOT their enemy, but rather a Friend of George Soros.
“It’s What Happens When You Accidentally Wash Your Klan Robes With Your MAGA Hats” – Stephen Colbert on Midterm Elections
This passes for humor on the left.
Stephen Colbert described the midterm elections not as a red wave but a pink splash, “It’s what happens when you wash your klan robes with your MAGA hats.”
