The UK Parliament recently hosted a significant meeting titled “For Truth, Democracy, and Freedom,” led by MP Andrew Bridgen. Despite attempts by the government to disrupt the proceedings, the meeting went ahead, albeit without the testimonies of Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Mike Yeadon.
The meeting raised concerns about the World Health Organization’s (WHO) concentration of power and lack of transparency. Issues of governance, sovereignty, privacy, and gain of function research were discussed, with a health advocacy group sending a policy brief to British MPs outlining these concerns.
Meanwhile, across the pond, a climate-focused nonprofit, the Energy Foundation, has been funding climate initiatives and environmental groups in the U.S. Despite being headquartered in San Francisco, the foundation conducts most of its operations in Beijing and has significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The foundation’s financial filings reveal a decline in grant revenue in 2022, but an increase in grant contributions to outside groups and initiatives worldwide. This revelation comes amid a congressional probe into the CCP’s influence on the American environmental activist movement.
