The U.S. Income Tax then Federal Reserve System begins

In 1913 the Federal Reserve System was established. [1] Beginning February 3, 1913 the 16th amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, authorising the Federal government to impose and collect income tax on individuals.
  • On October 3, 1913 President Woodrow Wilson signed the Revenue Act of 1913 re-establishing Federal income tax.
Then on December 23, 1913 (the eve of Christmas, when many were already on holidays), President Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, known as the Currency bill. Now everything is in place giving a monopoly and control on the creation of money to a consortium of private banks, a system that was conceived in 1910 . [2] This set up provided a monetary system that was doomed to fail from the start.  By 2020 the promissory fiat currency has basically reached the end of it’s possible lifespan [2] [from what I’ve come to understand].  The COVID-19 pandemic provided an “opportunity” for a “Great Reset” and a push for the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).  The US trade currency, petro-dollar can’t “logically” be continued if the Climate Change alarmists want to eliminate oil, so Climate alarmism is helping create the justification for a currency reset…where everyone will own nothing, but be happy!  Follow the Money!

Life Extension Institute is established – A new market for Medicine – Preventative Health

On December 29, 1913 the Life Extension Instituted (LEI) is incorporated in the state of New York, a philanthropic organisation “proposes the lengthening of human life by the simple but scientific method used to keep ordinary machinery running – inspection and repair”.  [1, 2]  The organizational officers included many philanthropists such as former President William Howard Taft and Alexander Graham Bell etc. Taft was appointed Chairman of the board, which helped the private corporation appear credible.

The national agenda inquiring into “aging” began “as early as 1908 as part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s conservation agenda as formulated by the Committee of 100″ of which Irving Fisher was the head. [7]

Though it is stated the idea of the institute was proposed by Harald A. Ley a Massachusetts insurance actuary, he was appointed Treasurer. [6] The organisation began under the pretext of working closely with life insurance companies, but soon expanded to work with all and any organisation from schools, woman’s organisations to churches to promote physical examinations.  A stating network of over 7,000 physicians were already appointed across America ready to receive a fee for assessing the healthy population.

They soon established the Hygiene Refrence Board led by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, and comprising of “100 leading experts on various health subjects”. [3]

The Institute gathered fees from insurance companies, “two-thirds of any profits beyond five percent on the capital” went to extending the institutes public usefulness.

In February 1915 the LEI reported that the life expectancy of middle-aged American was less than it was in 1880, but this was unique to American, where as “it has decreased during the same period in England and Wales, Sweden, Prussia, Denmark, France and other countries”  They institue blamed this premature death on lack  hygeine, and the “new mode of living and the general tendency to physical inactivity that now prevail in America” which has “produced the high nervous tension characteristic in a certain class of Americans…” and thus contributed to the death rate. No consideration was given to the fact that compulsory vaccination existed in America, and drug advertising was extensive and common in their media.

They declared that “deaths could have been prevented by teaching personal hygience and by including the practice of periodic health examinations”, where their physicain buddies would be assured of a regular income, from healthy patrons.

By October 1915 the organisation’s Fisk and Fisher had published the book How to Live, Rules for Healthful Living Based on Modern Science – where vaccination, eugenics and sterilization are promoted and “quacks and quackery” outlawed.

This was all at a time when hospitals numbers were dramatically on the increase, and the promotion of “life-span” was attributed promoted as being directly to modern “medical science”.  They coined the term “social medicine” in their 1919 report.

In 1918 the LEI began publishing their “How to Livemonthly magazine they called “A monthly journal of health and hygeine“, following the 1916 book of the same name.

LEI still exist today, though has changed ownership several time and is now known as “Engaging Healthy Employees” (EHE Health).  This private company deems themselves “an authority on preventive medicine”, and they mandated the experimental, emergency use COVID-19 vaccine to all their employees. [4, 5]

The NAS National Research Council is established

The National Research Council (NRC) was formed in 1916 as a special organization, established under the national charter of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), against the backdrop of the First World War.  As concerns grew about the lack of America’s preparedness should the United States become involved. , The Academy’s Foreign Secretary George Ellery Hale, wished to broaden the Academy’s scope of activity, following years of NSA relative inactivity, and the war proved and opportune time to push for “a national organization for the coordination of scientific and technological research and development.” [1]

On April 26, 1916 NAS President William H. Welch , along with other members, went to see U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to present a resolution unanimously passed at the NAS’s last meeting, of which Wilson gave oral agreement to the proposal:

That the President of the Academy be requested to inform the President of the United States that in the event of a break in diplomatic relations with any other country the academy desires to place itself at the disposal of the Government for any service within its scope.

The Committee for the Organization of the Scientific Resources of the Country for National Service held their first formal meeting on September 20, 1916, drawing original membership from the government, the various branches of the military, the universities, and private research laboratories.  The committee included Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research director and vaccine developer Dr Simon Flexner. [1]

Hale became the NRC’s first chairman and following the end of the war he recommended the Research Council continue, which it did by President Wilson’s Executive Order No. 2859 of May 11, 1918 which recognized the Research Council’s contribution during the war and perpetuated it as an organization. [2]


On July 13, 2021 the National Academy of Sciences formed a new body called the Strategic Council for Research Excellence, Integrity, and Trust (SCREIT). The formation of this Strategic Council stems from 2015/2016, 2017 and 2019 reports which recommended the “creation of a body to elevate the excellence and safeguard the health and welfare of the research enterprise” to”develop ways to promote high-quality research practices and to anticipate and address challenges to research ethics and integrity.”

June 13 1916

First academic school focusing on “Public Health” begins

On June 13, 1916, Johns Hopkins University receives $267,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation and founds the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (JHSPH), with William Henry Welch as its first director. It is the world’s first independent degree-granting school of public health for research, education, and practice. [1]

  • 1917 –  William Henry Howell is appointed the first faculty member and becomes founding chair of the Department of Physiological Hygiene.
  • 1917 – JHSPH  establisth the first academic departments in the world for immunology, epidemiology and public health administration. Also the first school of public health to establish departments of statistics, bacteriology, chemical hygiene (biochemistry) and sanitary engineering.
  • The first classes are held on October 1, 1918, in a physics lab on West Monument Street. Six of 16 students are female. Three are foreign citizens (from Brazil and Trinidad). Among 32 faculty, 9 are female.
  • 1919 JHSPH awards three DrPH degrees to the School’s first graduating class. The first graduate is Nathan Berman.
  • 1921 William Henry Welch founds the first public health research journal called Johns Hopkins American Journal of Hygiene today known as the American Journal of Epidemiology
  • The first  jounals gave attention to hookworm, [2] the very disease that the Rockefeller Foundation‘s International Health Commision [3, 4] focused its initial attention on.

1918-19 Influenza Pandemic – “Spanish flu”

We are taught that the 1918 pandemic was caused by a world-wide “influenza” virus that killed an estimated 20 million [1919 to 2003] to 100 million [updated in 2019] people.   At the time, “viruses” were not known, but the bacterium Pfeiffer’s Bacillus was believed to be the causal agent of the wide spread sickness.

The US military while preparing to enter WWI, and in preparation the soldiers were heavily vaccinated with many “bacterial” vaccines.  Soldiers appeared to have fared worse than those on the front line, though domestic US citizens were struck down.

There is information in the archives, suggesting patients of allopathic medical doctors fared far worse than the alternative practices of the day who were called “quacks”. [1]

September 1918 in the U.S. was when the death toll escalated.

Could the death toll have been the perfect storm of many factors including COD, statistical manipulation massive aspirin overdose, just to name a few?  – EXPLORE

Paris Peace Conference, post WW1 Treaties and League of Nations charter

The Paris Peace Conference, an international conference organized by the victors of the World War I, was held from January 18 to 21, 1919 for the purpose of negotiating peace treaties between the Allied and Associated Powers and their former enemies. [1]  This conference lays the foundations for

Multiple treaties were prepared at this conference, including for

The decision to create the League of Nations and the approval of its Charter (constitution) also took place during this conference, this (powerless) body was linked to all treaties.  The League held its first meeting in London on January 10, 1920.

League of Nations hold their first meeting

On January 10, 1920 the League of Nations held its first meeting in London and the same day ratified the Treaty of Versailles thus officially ending World War I.  The headquarters of the League moved to Geneva and the first general assembly with it’s members was held there on November 15, 1920.

The purpose of this international body “included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation and diplomacy, and improving global welfare” [1, 2]

Established post WWI as the Paris Peace Conference in Jan 1919, the League had no enforcement powers, so the organisation was only effective when parties agreed to abide by its decisions….The League was powerless and mostly silent in the face of major events leading to World War II.  In 1946 the League dissolved itself and its services, mandates, and property were transferred to the United Nations.

“A general association of nations should be formed on the basis of covenants designed to create mutual guarantees of the political independence and territorial integrity of States, large and small equally.”
President Woodrow Wilson, Jan. 8, 1918, Point 14

Even though President Woodrow Wilson had been a driving force behind establishing the League of Nations, the United States Senate voted on January 19, 1919 not to join the League. [3]

British Broadcasting Company (BBC) is formed

The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) was formed on October 18, 1922 by a group of leading wireless manufacturers including Marconi. Daily broadcasting by the BBC began in Marconi’s London studio, 2LO, in the Strand, on November 14, 1922. This was followed the next day by broadcasts from Birmingham and Manchester. In December 1922 33-year-old Scottish engineer, John Reith was appointed General Manager of the BBC. In the early days news only aired after 7 pm so as not to upset sales of newspapers. [1, 2]

“Listening in” to the wireless in the United Kingdom quickly became a social and cultural phenomenon as the BBC in London and regional stations around the country gave birth to a new form of mass communication.” The speech of King George V was first heard on radio during a broadcast from the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley (which was made into a 2010 movie). By 1939, 98% of the Britain’s population could listen in to the BBC’s radio services.  The public had been conditioned to tune into the radio for news.

What was not known was the BBC ran cover for the establishment, not actually being impartial.

In 1927 the British Broadcasting Company became the British Broadcasting Corporation when it was granted its first Royal Charter and John Reith was knighted.  The Charter defines the BBC’s objectives, powers and obligations of which the ” BBC is answerable to the BBC Board of Governors who are appointed to act as trustees for the public interest and to ensure that the organisation is properly accountable while maintaining its independence…The Governors are appointed by the Queen in Council (the Privy Council) on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.” [3]

On November 2, 1936 the BBC began television broadcasting with only a few thousand homes equiped and close enough to view it, though the accessibility developed rapidly between 1936 and 1939. [4]

On September 1, 1939, two days before WW II broke out, “a Mickey Mouse cartoon was being shown when the television service was suddenly blacked out for defence reasons. It was feared that the transmitters could have provided navigational aid for enemy aircraft. That same Mickey Mouse cartoon was shown on June 7, 1946 when BBC television re-opened. The Victory Parade was televised the next day.” [5]


The media is powerful.  A few months before the COVID-19 pandemic began, the BBC led the Trusted News Initiative, to be the gatekeeper of “truth”.

Office International des Epizooties (OIE) is established – precursor to WOAH

Spurred on by the emergence of rinderpest disease (German for “cattle-plague”) at Antwerp port in Belgium, on January 25, 1924 an international agreement between 28 States was obtained to create the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) based in Paris. An agency for overseeing animal disease status world-wide. [1, 2]

The International Committee of the Office held its first General Session on March 8, 1927 choosing their heads and establishing a Bulletin.
On January 30, 1928 the first international Conference was held in Geneva to begin the International Sanitary Policy. [1]

When the United Nations formed the OIE fought to remain following the creation of the FAO and WHO agencies.  Through time official agreements were signed with these initial UN organisations, then with IICA, WTO, OIRSA, SPC PAHO World Bank, WVA, IFAH and more. [1]

In May 2003 the agency adopted the name World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). With over 70 global organisation and its Members the WOAH “coordinate the global response to animal health emergencies, the prevention of zoonotic diseases, the promotion of animal health and welfare, and better access to animal health care”.[3]

  • In 1992, the OIE adopted the first standards/criteria for classifying Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) (fowl plague) – Terrestrial disease.  Definitions for pathogenicity evolved as scientific knowledge of the disease increased (such as clevage sites 2022). [7, 8]
  • Following the 1994 launch of a Global Rinderpest Eradication Programme (GREP), rinderpest is the first (and only) animal disease to be declared eradicated by OIE on May 25, 2011 and FAO in June 2011. [2]
  • In 1995, an international agreement prompted World Trade Organisation (WTO) Members to acknowledge the WOAH’s standards officially [9]
  • 2003 Terrestrial Animal Health Codedefines Animal as “a mammal, bird or bee” –  humans are a mammal! [6]
  • August 2003 OIE joined mission in China to find animal reservoir for SARS virus
  • Jan 2004 – avian influenza “Bird Flu” begins – PRESS
  • In April 7-8, 2005, – OIE/FAO officially launched the new worldwide Avian Influenza NetworkIFFLU. [4]
  • In 2005 we created and have since managed the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) to provide information on 120 animal diseases, both terrestrial and acquatic.
  • August 2006: Virus strains were collected and sent US National Institute for Health (NIH) for sequencing and deposited in full transparency on the free-access database, “GenBank”, to supports the preparation of human vaccines. “OFFLU works closely with the World Health Organization Working Group on Influenza Research at the human-animal interface” [5]
  • “Virus strains can be considered as intellectual property and sharing them can be seen as potentially hampering research progress and scientific publication.” [5]
  • WOAH help coordinate global zoonotic diseases, animal influenzas, especially avian influenza, and in  June 2022 they put under the OneHealth umbrella.
  • June 2022 the OIE website officially became WOAH, and promoted OneHealth

The Geneva Protocol: International ban on the use of chemical and biological weapons

Following the use of poison gases used in World War 1, the 1925 Geneva Protocol that prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons in war was created. The Protocol was drawn up and signed at a conference which was held in Geneva under the auspices of the League of Nations from May 4, 1925 to June 17, 1925, and it entered into force on 8 February 1928. [2, 3]

Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare – commonly refered to as The Geneva Protocol

It took 50 years for the US to ratify this convention (1975) the same year they ratified the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (BTWC). During the 50 year span the US used chemical (napalm, agent orange) and likely biological weapons in Korean and Vietnam wars. [1]

Mathematical “SIR” modelling for epidemics takes form

The theory underlying the 2020 pandemic computer models, such as the “Imperial Model” can be traced back to the Kermack and McKendrick paper “A contribution to the mathematical theory of epidemics” which was published August 1, 1927.  Stemming from the earlier “germ theory” in the second half of the nineteenth century. [1]

The paper considers there are “various factors” that govern spread of disease from “affected to the unaffected”, and acknowledged the “stage of the sickness” affects transmissibility, and that once one recovers from infection “the number of unaffected members of the community becomes reduced” thus reducing the pool of “susceptible individuals”.

The paper works from the assumption that ” all members of the community are initially equally susceptible to the disease, and it will be further assumed that complete immunity is conferred by a single infection.”

Thus begins the Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered (SIR) modelling framework which “partitions a population into at least three groups: those who are susceptible to future infection (S), those who are currently infectious (I), and those who have been removed from the infectious group through recovery or death (R). [1]

First virus ever isolated – Influenza virus

While working at the Rockefeller Institute at Princeton, with his mentor Dr Paul Lewis, (who earlier had discovered the polio virus), virologist, Dr Richard Shope successfully isolated the “virus of swine influenza”, the first virus ever isolated.  He submitted his work [2, 3] on May 6, 1931, for publication. [1Influenzae virus is from family Orthomyxoviridae.

“Pig farmers in Iowa had reported two outbreaks—one in 1918 and another in 1929—of a highly contagious, influenza-like disease among their animals. The disease bore such a remarkable resemblance to human flu that it was named swine influenza”

Initially Shope and Lewis isolated a bacterium resembling Pfeiffer’s bacillus [4] (the bacterium was then classified Bacterium influenzae suis, and now Haemophilus influenzae), but when they injected the bacteria into pigs, it did not cause disease.  Then Shope used a filtrate, which caused a highly contagious, influenza-like disease in pigs—albeit a more mild one than seen in naturally-infected pigs,” but “mixing the filtrate with the bacterium reproduced the severe disease.” [1]

In 1933 an influenza virus was isolated from a human influenza patient and in infected ferrets it produce influenza symptoms, which was was repeated several more times.

They hypothesise that the 1918 pandemic virus is an ancestor of this swine virus.  It was said in 1918 that the “clinical manifestations resemble those observed in the pandemic 1889-1894″, which could mean the causal agent is endemic, and that severe disease may have more to do with an associated bacterium at the time of infection.   After all the 1918 pandemic deaths were mostly caused by bacterial pneumonia, and mass bacterial vaccinations (typhoid, pneumonia, “influenza”) were administered prior and during disease outbreak.

As of 1960 “it is well recognized that pneumonia is the main cause of death from influenza, and observations during the pandemic of 1918-1919 indicated that secondary or concomitant bacterial infection of the lung was almost always present in fatal cases.” [6]

In 1892 Dmitri Ivanovski discovered an “extremely miniscule infectious agent”, smaller than bacteria, while working on tobacco disease.  In 1898 Martinus Beijerinick replicated Ivanovski’s work, and coined the term “virus”.  Historically, the term virus had the latin meaning of “poisonous substance”, an important point to note when reading historical medical publications. [5]

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is published

Brave New World, a novel by Aldous Huxley is published in 1932. The book “prophesied a society which expects maximum pleasure and accepts complete surveillance – no matter what the cost.” [1]  Kind of like “you will own nothing, but you will be happyfrom 2017

“There was no political system in Brave New World it was a scientific dictatorship” someone at the top made all the decisions for society.  The very thing the Techocrats at that very time were floating at Columbia University.

Aldous Huxley is the younger brother of Julian Huxley, a”well-known biologist” , who “inspired” and was a founding members of the World Wildlife Fund and the first Director-General of UNESCO which “he also helped to create”. [2]

The term “transhumanism” denoted “H+” was first coined by Julian Huxley! [3]

I believe in transhumanism: once there are enough people who can truly say that, the human species will be on the threshold of a new kind of existence, as different from ours as ours is from that of Peking man. It will at last be consciously fulfilling its real destiny.” Julian Huxley 1957

  • “Humanity will be radically changed by technology in the future” is the start of the Declaration of the World Transhumaist Association. [4]
  • Transhumanism is denoted “Humanity +” or “H+” and they even have a Magazine [5]

Technocracy ideology takes form

In 1932 engineers and scientists at Columbia University, masterminded a replacement economic system for Capitalism and Free Enterprise, with a resource-based economy called Technocracy, that would use energy credits as its accounting system, rather than currency.

“The Technocracy ideology turned into a movement when Technocracy, Inc. was founded in 1934 by Howard Scott and M. King Hubbert. Together, they wrote the Technocracy Study Course that became their go-to bible for all the meetings they held throughout the U.S. and Canada. At the peak, this membership organization had over 500,000 dues-paying members.”

“A parallel organization had a brief life in Nazi Germany before WWII, but it was quashed by Hitler when it was seen as competition. Individual Technocrats in America and Europe, however, continued to hold fast to the Utopian dream of Technocracy.”

In 1973 Technocracy is adopted with the formation of the Trilateral Commission in order to create a “New International Economic Order.”  Their invitation-only members have been influencing and making global economic policies right up until today, especially the United Nations agendas.

The Technocracy ideology is not Marxism, Socialism or Communism, its an energy-based credit system to get the global population to “utopia”!

In September 1935 the first International Medical Week was held in Montreux, Switzerland – a week-long confrence for medical doctors and scientists from around the world would come together. [1]

  • August 31-September 5, 1936  – Second IMW – Organised by Le Journal Suisse De Medicine – held in Lucerne, Switzerland

The Wellcome Trust is founded

On July 25, 1936 the Wellcome Trust is effectively founded, upon the death of Sir Henry Wellcome, an American British pharmaceutical entrepreneur, who willed a Trust to establishing a charity for “the advancement of medical and scientific research to improve mankind’s wellbeing.” Sir Henry Wellcome had a fascination for medical research, treatment and wellbeing, who, during his life funded the development of tetanus and diphtheria treatments among other medical advances. [1, 2, 5]

“In 2000, the original 1936 charter was revised officially to better reflect the needs of the day.” [5]

Wellcome, who is led by Jeremy Farrarpromotes themselves as “a global charitable foundation” who wants “everyone to benefit from science’s potential to improve health and save lives.”

“Sir Henry was a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, whose pioneering approach to drug design later inspired the creation of the first leukaemia drug, immune suppressants for organ transplants, and antivirals such as AZT – the first drug approved to treat HIV.” [3]

AZT like Remdesivir are two of Dr. Mengele 2.0’s [aka Dr Fauci] favorite murder drugs, with the former literally causing AIDS symptoms and the latter causing COVID-19 symptoms.” [4]

Bill Gate’s Foundation is a Trustee, and they are in partnership with the Rockefellers.

In October 2018, the Wellcome Trust opened a “small office in Berlin so that we can work more closely with our international partners, tackling global health challenges such as epidemic preparedness…”

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938

June 1938 President Roosevelt signed the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Among other things, this law required new drugs to be tested for safety before marketing, the results of which would be submitted to FDA in a new drug application (NDA). The law also required that drugs have adequate labeling for safe use. All drug advertising was assigned to the Federal Trade Commission. [1]

June 25 1938

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act is established

On June 25, 1938 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 1938 . “The new law brought cosmetics and medical devices under control, and it required that drugs be labeled with adequate directions for safe use. Moreover, it mandated pre-market approval of all new drugs, such that a manufacturer would have to prove to FDA that a drug were safe before it could be sold.” [3] Taking over the 1906 Food and Drug Act.

First antibiotic, Penicillin, is mass produced in time for WWII, changing medicine forever

Alexander Fleming accidentally discovers the anti-bacterial power of the secretions of the fungus Penicillum notatum in his London lab in September 1928, which he published his finding May 10, 1929.  Fleming demonstrated the inhibitory power of the secretion ‘penicillin’ on ‘various microbes’, though without the necessary skill to take his work further, he eventually abandoned this work.  Nothing would come of it until 10 years later. [1, 2]

“It is clear, therefore, that the production of this antibacterial substance is not common to all moulds or to all types of penicillium.” Alexander Fleming (1929)

In 1935 Gerhard Domagk demonstrated that simple chemical compounds could be used to treat and cure invading bacterial infections, such as his use of Prontosil, to cured systemic Streptococal infections. This work sparked a search for anti-bacterial drugs. [3, 4]

With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, Oxford University team headed by Howard Florey began the search, starting with Fleming’s Penicillum fungus. They successfully purified the fungus’ chemical secretion and in 1939 the first mass produced “antibiotic” called Penicillin was released, thanks to collaborations with British and then US pharmaceutical companies. By 1945, at the end of World War II, Penicillin was nicknamed “the wonder drug“.

Pneumonia, syphilis, gonorrhea, diphtheria, scarlet fever and many wound and childbirth infections that orthodox doctors could not successfully cure, now became treatable. “As deaths caused by bacterial infections plummeted, a grateful world needed a hero. Fleming alone became such an object of public adulation, probably for two reasons. First, Florey shunned the press, while Fleming seemed to revel in the publicity…”

In 1944 Fleming received a a knighthood (with Florey), and jointly received the Nobel Prize for Medicine (with Florey and Chain) in 1945. “By this time, even Fleming was aware that penicillin had an Achilles’ heel. He wrote in 1946 that “the administration of too small doses … leads to the production of resistant strains of bacteria.” It’s a problem that plagues us to this day.” [5]

Isn’t it curious how Fleming jointly received a Nobel Prize for a drug he didn’t develop, but discovered it’s potential, yet Robert Malone didn’t receive acknowledgement the 2023 Nobel Prize for his role in the discovery of RNA to elicit an immune response, and thus it’s potential as a vaccine?

Brenton Woods Conference establishes the IMF & World Bank

Before WW II had ended – The Articles of Agreement of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) which would become known as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were drawn up and adopted at the Bretton Woods Confrence held in New Hampshire July 1-22, 1944 with 44 governments the agreements became effective from December 27, 1945. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The IMF was established  “to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange stability, and orderly exchange arrangements; to foster economic growth and high levels of employment; and to provide temporary financial assistance to countries under adequate safeguards to help ease balance of payments adjustment.”

Since its inception in 1944, the World Bank expanded from a single institution (IBRD) to an associated group of 5 institutions that coordinate global development funding – the World Bank Group.  The international bank provides loans and development assistance (not grants) to governments of middle-income countries and creditworthy (influencial) poorer countries, loans which have to be repaid.  [5, 6]

The World Bank’s “mission evolved from a facilitator of post-war reconstruction and development to its present day mandate of worldwide poverty alleviation.” One of the United Nations priority SDG.  “Whereas heavy infrastructure investment projects once dominated the Bank’s portfolio, a broadened focus now includes social sector lending projects, poverty alleviation, and shared prosparity” [1]

The end of World War II

According to WIKIPEDIA (to add this datapoint) – “The war in Europe concluded with the liberation of German-occupied territories; the invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, culminating in the Fall of Berlin to Soviet troops; Hitler’s suicide; and the German unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945.

Following the refusal of Japan to surrender on the terms of the Potsdam Declaration, the US dropped the first atomic bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Faced with imminent invasion of the Japanese archipelago, the possibility of more atomic bombings, and the Soviet Union’s declared entry into the war against Japan on the eve of invading Manchuria, Japan announced on August 10, 1945 its intention to surrender, signing a surrender document on September 2, 1945” – the official end to World War II.

October 24 1945

United Nations began operations

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organisation, established after World War II with the stated aim of maintaining international peace and security and be a centralised governing agency.

April 25, 1945, 50 governments met in San Francisco and started drafting the UN Charter, which was adopted on June 25, 1945 and took effect on October 24, 1945, when the UN began operations.

Though time the UN organisation has morphed from ending wars and maintain world peace into developing agreements and goals that “have dictates regarding the economy, health, poverty, migration, “reproductive “ health, monetary systems, digital IDs, environmental controls, control of agricultural markets, universal living wage worldwide, governmental systems, etc.”

“The UN has partnerships and strategic agreements with member nations, 100s of non-governmental organizations -like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the World Bank, and the World Economic Forum (WEF). It has developed many offspring organizations, such as UNESCO and the World Health Organization.” [1]

November 16 1945

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is established

On November 16, 1945 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was signed into existence in London by 37 countries and came into force with the 20th ratification on 4 November 1946.  The 1946 founding document written by Julian Huxley aimed to justify the “re-legitimization of eugenics as an idea that would once again become thinkable”. [3]

The stated purpose of the organisation was “to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations.”

Julian Huxley went on to co-found the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) with Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. [1, 2]

“Within a generation, science was once again ready to tell us why the only way to save humanity was to stop people from breeding: this time, the public was whipped into a furor not about Jews and Gypsies, but about carbon dioxide and environmental sustainability,” investigative journalist James Corbett states.
