(0:00 - 1:55) Good evening, I'm Will Dove and these are the top stories for Wednesday, May 7th. Klaus Schwab's retirement from the World Economic Forum may signal the end for his decades-long push for a centralized global order governed by international elites. The architect of the Great Reset and stakeholder capitalism saw his influence evaporate after widespread public backlash to pandemic-era policies exposed the totalitarian goal of the WEF to form a one-world government. Schwab, the founder of the WEF, announced his resignation as chairman of the Board of Trustees on April 21st amid allegations of financial and ethical misconduct. A whistleblower letter reportedly sent by current and former WEF staff accused Schwab and his wife, Hilda, of misusing WEF funds for personal expenses, including private massages and luxury travel, and manipulating the organization's global competitiveness report to favor certain governments. The WEF board launched an independent investigation into these claims, which Schwab denied, asserting there was not a shadow of proof and initiating defamation proceedings. The WEF's annual Davos gatherings, once a dominant force in setting global ESG priorities, has seen their COVID-driven push for global control backfire, with Donald Trump announcing the U.S. was withdrawing from the WHO in January. The Forum's environmental and supply chain regulations are now blamed for economic stagnation and energy crises in Europe, with populist movements worldwide accelerating efforts to dismantle these frameworks. Hungary, under Viktor Orbán's Fidesz, has resisted EU migration and governance mandates since 2010, with 2022 elections reinforcing its nationalist stance against WEF and UN frameworks. (1:56 - 3:42) Italy's 2022 election of Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy led to policies prioritizing energy independence and immigration control, challenging EU and WHO directives. Argentina's 2023 election of Javier Milei spurred economic deregulation and criticism of globalist initiatives like Agenda 2030. Austria's 2024 elections saw the far-right Freedom Party gain 29%, pressuring anti-EU and anti-WHO policies. Austria had participated in COVID tyrannies to an even greater extent than Canada, with protests in major Austrian cities sometimes reaching a quarter million people. Germany's Alternative for Germany won state elections in 2024, advocating DEXIT and opposing globalist health and climate mandates. Romania's 2024 far-right surge, led by Călin Georgescu, emphasized sovereignty, rejecting EU integration and global health policies. Notably, China exploited the WEF's ESG framework to avoid scrutiny while expanding its geopolitical influence via its Belt and Road Initiative. Meanwhile, US-led populist movements have prioritized rolling back regulations seen as handicapping Western competitiveness. Unfortunately, we here in Canada are still under globalist control via Mark Carney's Liberals, a fact that will become apparent this fall. Parliament will reconvene on the 26th, but will only sit for a few weeks before the summer break begins on June 20th. This will give Carney enough time to signal his intentions, but likely not enough to pass any new legislation. Parliament will begin their fall session on September 15th. (3:44 - 5:00) The World Health Organization's proposed pandemic agreement, finalized last month ahead of this month's World Health Assembly, is drawing fire for prioritizing pharmaceutical industry interests over public health. Critics argue the treaty relies on three debunked claims, exaggerated natural pandemic risks, overstated financial returns from preparedness spending, and the now-disproven natural origin of COVID-19. While the WHO narrative claims the agreement ensures equitable vaccine access and improved outbreak surveillance, leaked details reveal 72 percent of its $31 billion budget would flow to vaccine developers and biotech firms. The deal also mandates rapid pathogen data sharing by participating governments with private companies, but lacks enforcement mechanisms for technology transfers to developing nations, the claimed purpose of the data sharing. Contrary to WHO assertions, the agreement allows the organization to declare potential pandemics based on non-peer-reviewed models and gives it authority to coordinate global supply chains for medical countermeasures. This has raised concerns about recurring lockdown-style measures, though the WHO insists it cannot impose specific policies. (5:01 - 6:36) Not that that made any difference the last time, as captured governments, such as ours, will enforce their recommendations. The U.S. has withdrawn from the treaty and suspended funding, leading to large-scale layoffs at the World Health Organization, especially among upper management. The Wuhan Institute of Virology persists in gain-of-function studies on novel coronaviruses, despite a 2022 U.S. ban on funding such research, with Chinese scientists recently announcing the discovery of HKU5-CoV-2, a bat virus modified to infect human cells. Documents show the lab received $600,000 from U.S. national institutes of health between 2014 and 2019 through EcoHealth Alliance, with emails proving former NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci knew of the risky research despite congressional denials. A 2020 internal communication reveals Fauci urged colleagues to preemptively discredit lab-leak theories before they gained traction. Notably, Moderna and NIH shipped coronavirus vaccine candidates to University of North Carolina researchers on Dec. 12, 2019, weeks before COVID-19's official emergence. The Wuhan facility remains operational under Chinese Academy of Sciences oversight, conducting experiments breeding humanized mice to study viral transmission. European Union records confirm 161,811 euros in Horizon 2020, funding to the institute between 2015 and 2019. (6:38 - 7:19) Similar gain-of-function projects continue in the Netherlands and Japan, despite regulatory challenges. On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning U.S. federal funding for gain-of-function research, which enhances pathogens to study their potential for increased transmissibility or severity. The order halts funding for such research in countries of concern, like China, and imposes restrictions on domestic U.S. studies, citing risks of lab leaks. The ban includes a pause on certain pathogen research until stricter oversight is developed. I'm Will Dove, and those are the top stories for today, Wednesday, May 7.
