LOCK STEP

“A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian Leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.”

I will be honest; I have been sitting on this article since June 2020. When this information was first presented to me, I felt a shiver run down my back that I could only describe as fear. Over the last few months, I have taken the time to read this report, and I have been observing how governments from around the world have handled this pandemic.

Part of me wanted what I am about to present to you to just be a CONSPIRACY THEORY, but to my dismay, this has become an educational fact.

“The Rockefeller Foundation’s use of scenario planning to explore technology and international development has been both inspired and ambitious. Scenario planning is a powerful tool precisely because the future is unpredictable and shaped by many interacting variables. Scenarios enable us to think creatively and rigorously about the different ways these forces may interact, while forcing us to challenge our own assumptions about what we believe or hope the future will be.” Peter Schwartz Cofounder and Chairman Global Business Network

At the end of this article, I will provide two things, a snapshot of the original posting of the 2010 document, as well as a PDF copy. If you are interested (and I hope you are) about checking the legitimacy of this article, I would suggest you take the time to download, and then read through the document for yourself.

As a media organization, we have been attacked both vocally, and cyber because of the content that we have produced over the past year. We have had African-Caribbean’s forcefully ask us to take the Caribbean out of our title because they don’t think that we should be representing Caribbean’s living in the diaspora. To them I say this; read over this article thoroughly. Read it as many times as you can. Follow this up by doing your own research with the links that we provide. Upon doing so, you will see why we have had to do what we are doing.

Personally, I do this work for my people. As a first generation Jamaican woman, it is my duty to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves; speak for those who have been silenced, and educate those who are in the dark about things that ultimately will affect them in the future.

Are you ready readers? Let’s go through this document together. While you are doing so, I would like you to reflect over the last few months and begin to piece together what you have personally experienced. I would like to introduce to you the Lock Step Scenario, 2010.

“Hypothesize a simulated global outbreak, required steps, various phases, overall timeline and expected outcomes.” Rockefeller – LOCKSTEP, 2010

One thing that you have to keep in mind is that the document is looking at a future scenario. It was published in 2010, and it paints a picture, that like a puzzle is slowly starting to fit together. This document speaks of a future pandemic that kills 8 million people in just seven months. There are three phases that we are going to review, and I am going to provide links that correlate to each phase.

Phase One (Lock Step Scenario)

Create a very contagious but super low mortality rate virus to fit the needed plan.

  • A SARS/HIV hybrid research strain was created at Fort Detrick class 4 lab from 2008-2013 as part of a research project to find out why coronavirus’s spread like wildfire in bats but have an extremely hard time infecting humans
  • Create a weaponized version of the virus with a much higher mortality rate as a “BACKUP plan” ready to be released in phase 3 BUT ONLY IF NEEDED (SARS/HIV/ MERS weaponized tribrid strain created at Fort Detrick class 4 lab in 2015)
  • Transport the research strain to a different class 4 lab (National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg Canada) and have it stolen and smuggled out by China (Shi Zhengli) on purpose and taken to China’s only class 4 lab (Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan China)

Researchers and journalists have gone back and forth about whether it was created in a lab or if it was natural. What you have to pay attention to is the fact that the scenario mentions Wuhan, China, and low and behold, that is where the coronavirus originated. 

“The consensus among experts researching the virus places the beginning of its spread at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China.” (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/03/16/coronavirus-fact-check-where-did-covid-19-start-experts-say-china/5053783002/)

  • For added plausible deniability and to help cement the wanted BACKUP public script as something to fall back on IF needed (primary script being its natural, backup script being that China created it and released it by accident)
  • Fund all the talking and agencies that would be involved with pandemic response prior to the planned release of the research strain to control the wanted script throughout the operation
  • Create and fund the vaccination development and roll-out plan so its capable of being rolled out on a global scale (Gates – Decade of Vaccines: Global Vaccine Action Plan, 2010-2020) (https://www.who.int/immunization/global_vaccine_action_plan/DoV_GVAP_2012_2020/en/)
  • Create and fund the vaccination verification/ certification protocols (Digital ID) to enforce/confirm the vaccination program after the mandatory roll-out is enacted (Gates – ID2020) (https://id2020.org/)

All right, here we go. An article written on September 20th, 2019 titled “ID2020 and partners launch program to provide digital ID with vaccines,” talks about the launch of a new digital identity program at its annual summit in New York in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, and vaccine alliance Gavi.

Digital identity is a computerized record of who a person is, stored in a registry, and is used to keep track of who has received vaccination.

(https://www.biometricupdate.com/201909/id2020-and-partners-launch-program-to-provide-digital-id-with-vaccines)

Before we move forward to the nitty-gritty of this scenario, I want to review what you have just read. Does it resonate with you? Are you starting to identify familiar themes?

Phase One (Lock Step Scenario) 

  • Simulate the Lock Step hypothesis just prior to the planned research strain release using a real-world exercise as a final wargame to determine expected response/timelines/outcomes (Gates – Event 201, Oct 2019)

I actually had a chance to review Event 201, and to actually see how much it matches up to this step in the Lock Step Scenario is frightening. Take a quick read through this article before you move on.

“What is Event 201, and why should we as a community know about it? (https://torontocaribbean.com/what-is-event-201-and-why-should-we-as-a-community-know-about-it/)

  • Release the research strain at the Wuhan Institute of Virology itself and then blame its released on a natural scapegoat
  • Downplay the human-to-human transmission for as long as possible to allow the research strain to spread on a global scale before any country can lockdown

On February 27th, 2020, Bloomberg put out an article, “Why the WHO Won’t Call the Coronavirus a Pandemic,” (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-02-27/coronoavirus-why-the-who-won-t-call-covid-19-a-pandemic), and in this article, Ethiopian Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated, “This is not the time to focus on what word we use. That will not prevent a single infection today or save a single life today.” At that time, WHO identified a pandemic by various phases and didn’t believe that COVID-19 has hit all the markers to be called a pandemic. The article also states that in early February, the organization was working with Google to make sure people searching for information about the coronavirus saw WHO information at the top of their search results.

Let’s keep going.

  • Keep the public quarantined for as long as possible to destroy the regions economy, create civil unrest, breakdown the supply chain, and cause the start of mass food shortages, as well as cause people’s immune system to weaken due to lack of interaction with other people/bacteria
  • Downplay and attack any potential “treatments” and continue to echo that only a “cure” is viable to fight this virus (aka a vaccine)
  • Continue to drag out the quarantine over and over and over again (in 2 week intervals) causing more and more people to eventually stand up and protest/defy them
  • Eventually end the phase 1 quarantine once they get enough public push-back (June 2020), and publicly state that they still think its “too early” to end the isolation but are going to do it anyways
  • Once the public go “back to normal” wait a few weeks and then continue to over-hype the research strain mortality rate (Aug-Sept 2020), and combine it with the increase in deaths due to people dying from standard illnesses at a higher rate than normal. This is to hype the upcoming phase 2 lockdown

Phase Two (Lock Step Hypothesis)

  • Eventually enact phase two quarantines (Oct-Nov 2020) on a even more extreme level and blame the protesters (mostly people who don’t trust their government already) for the cause of the “larger” 2nd wave (we told you so, it was too early, this is all your fault cause you needed a haircut, your freedoms have consequences)
  • Enforce the phase two quarantines at a much more extreme level, increasing the penalty for defiance (replace fines with jail time), deem ALL travel as non-essential, increase checkpoints (including military assistance), increase tracking/tracing of the population (mandatory apps), take over control of food/gas (large scale shortages) so that people can only get access to essential products/services if they are FIRST given permission
  • Keep the phase 2 lockdown in place for a much longer period of time then the phase 1 lockdown, continuing to destroy the global economy, further degrade the supply chain, and further amplify the food shortages, and alike

So, I want to stop you here. This is where we are in the Lockstep Scenario. I want to examine what is happening around you right now. I also want you to remember that this was written in 2010. One question that should come to mind is, how is this so exact? Another question that might be milling in your mind is, what’s next?

  • Quell any public outrage using extreme actions/force and make anyone who defies them appear as public enemy #1 to those who are willing to submit (Welcome to the life of Toronto Caribbean Newspaper)
  • After a rather long phase 2 lockdown (6+ months), roll-out the vaccination program + vaccine certification and make it mandatory for everyone (giving priority access to those that submitted from the start), and have those that are for it attack those that are against it saying they are a threat and the cause of all the problems. “We can’t go back to normal until EVERYONE takes the vaccine. People defying them are hurting our way of life and therefore are the enemy.”

Anyone who has entered a store without a mask or has spoken out against vaccines has experienced some type of discrimination.

  • If the majority of people go along with the agenda then let those people enter the new system (new normal) while limiting the minority that defy the agenda’s ability to work/travel/live

Phase Three (Lock Step Hypothesis)

 It is time to look at how our futures are going to look.

  • If the majority of people go against the agenda then release the weaponized SARS/HIV/MERS tribrid strain as phase 3, a virus with a 30%+ mortality rate as a final scare to push the minority to quickly become the majority and give a final “we told you so” to those that didn’t listen
  • Enact the new economy model (Microsoft patent 060606 – Cryptocurrency System Using Body Activity Data), which is based on human behavior and willingness to submit (tweaked version of Black Mirror’s “Fifteen Million Merits”) using food/water/shelter and other essentials as a weapon of enforcement of the new economic system. Basically, do what we want and get rewarded (gain credits/score and gain more access to things you need to survive) or go against what we want and get penalized (lose credits/score and lose access to things you need to survive).

Social credit scores have become a reality. As we speak, China has initiated a credit score system. A low social credit score will: exclude you from well-paid jobs, make it impossible for you to get a house or a car loan or even book a hotel room.

The government can slow down your Internet connection, ban your children from attending private schools and even post your profile on a public blacklist for all to see.

Yes readers; this is what is to come. We know this now because so far, everything has fallen in line. The Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development can no longer be found on the Rockefeller Foundation website, it was removed. We have included the PDF link below to take you directly to the document.

I hope this has been informative, and I hope that you take the time to research what could most possibly be your future.

    Thanks so much for your research and for sharing, it’s not just members of Canada’s Afro-Carribbean community who are skeptical….it permeates throughout society. Because it’s scarey….a tasty lie has always been preferred to harsh reality.

Canada is Sinking – Is there a correlation between the rising economic costs, and the siphoning of funds to other sources in Canada?

Published

BY ADRIAN REECE

At some point Toronto was a city that people enjoyed living in. Recent political leadership at every level of government has caused citizens to consider moving out of the country as a whole. The high cost of living, coupled with the difficulty affording housing, and remote work becoming more regular has made the rest of the world seem much more appealing for Canadians as a whole.

Many countries are offering travel perks and visas to travelers in the west, to encourage them to visit, or to even move into their countries. Costa Rica, Japan, and France currently have travel perks and have opened their borders to make it easier to enter. Specifically for Canadians and even more specifically Torontonians who work remotely, are looking to countries and cities with lower costs of living. The Canadian dollar goes far in other parts of the world.

We owe the struggling economy to a few factors. Political leadership has greatly impacted the state of Canada, immigration policies that have changed over the years have caused stress on Canadian citizens.

In 2023, the federal government released its new Immigration Levels Plan to welcome 485,000 permanent residents in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025 and 2026. This announcement came on the heels of an Environics public opinion survey revealing a significant increase in the number of Canadians who believe the country accepts too many immigrants. That marks a dramatic reversal from a year ago, when support for immigration levels stood at an all-time high.

The Trudeau led government has held true to their commitment to bring in millions of immigrants in a short span of time. Housing policy is draining the income of Canadians, and political debates do not provide any real answers towards understanding what is going on in the country. Consistent political scandals regarding Trudeau overspending, and not adhering to budgets, and using money that was originally allocated for certain things. Trudeau was audited and it was found that $123 million was given to ineligible businesses, or projects that should have never been awarded at all. This is one in a long list of Trudeau scandals that have been a part of Canada political identity for the last nine years.

Trudeau’s government has even siphoned off funds to their personal businesses, after audits by the auditor general, we have seen too many inconsistencies with the funding of the Trudeau government in misusing funds as well as money disappearing into places that it should not be going.

In June of this year, the auditor general (AG) released two reports about: improper contracting practices, conflict of interest, and funding provided for ineligible projects. What these reports brought to light is an unpleasant reality; politicians and bureaucrats in Ottawa do not always act in the best interest of Canadians.

According to the first AG report, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), the federal agency responsible for funding green technology projects, demonstrated “significant lapses… in governance and stewardship of public funds.” Nearly 20% of the SDTC projects examined by the AG were in fact ineligible (based on the government’s own rules) for funding, with a total price tag of $59 million. There were also 90 instances where the SDTC ignored conflict of interest provisions while awarding $76 million to various projects. Indeed, the AG found 63 cases where SDTC agency directors voted in favour of payments to companies in which they had declared interest.

The second AG report focused on 97 contracts totaling $209 million awarded by the federal government to the McKinsey & Company consulting firm from 2011 to 2023. According to the AG, the government demonstrated “frequent disregard for procurement policies and guidance and that contracting practices often did not demonstrate value for money.” About 70% of these contracts were awarded non-competitively, meaning no other companies were permitted to bid on the contracts. Interesting!

These findings also follow an earlier report in February that found the federal government “repeatedly failed to follow good management practices in the: contracting, development, and implementation” of the ArriveCAN mobile app, which cost Canadian taxpayers at least $59.5 million.

Is there a correlation between the rising economic costs, and the siphoning of funds to other sources in Canada? Potentially, it will take a lot more investigation to confirm if that is really the case. However, Canadians can see that there has been a drastic change in the economy since the Trudeau government has come into power.

For governments to work there needs to be transparency, and there has been a lack there of in regard to our political leadership in the last few years. There are too many scandals and too many mishaps with money. Too many policies that do not benefit the citizenry, and not enough effort made to rectify the sinking economy.

Canada cannot continue to stay in these dire straits, we are sinking, and leadership plays a big role in the state of the country. We won’t see changes unless we demand it, we can take a page out of France’s method of protest; other countries have set a precedent of what their expectations are, and Canadians need to do the same. They need to demand change and implement strategies to achieve it. Within acceptable methods of protest there exists a strategy and method of changing the nature of Canada’s problems, but it starts with the citizenry. Coming together is the greatest power we have, and we need to utilize it.

Welcome to the Black Scholars Institute—where excellence thrives, and liberation is pursued

Published

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

At the heart of the University of Windsor’s campus, centrally located in the lower level of the CAW Student Centre, lies a space dedicated to fostering: African-Caribbean excellence, academic growth, and community empowerment: The Black Scholars Institute, or BSI.

The BSI Lounge is more than just a meeting place. It is a safe and welcoming space for African/-Caribbean faculty, staff, and students—a venue that fosters not only academic engagement, but community connection. Here, important university and local events, aligned with the Institute’s mission and values, take place.

The Black Scholars Institute is a multidisciplinary research institute—a home for African-Caribbean scholars at UWindsor. It is dedicated to advancing Black excellence and liberation through scholarship, research, and community engagement. The Institute’s work enriches teaching, learning, and social justice efforts across the University, with a focus on making an impact nationally and globally.

BSI hosts a range of weekly programs that encourage meaningful dialogue and academic collaboration. Events such as “Think Tank Thursday” provide a platform for African-Caribbean faculty and students to come together, exchange ideas, and discuss relevant research and current events. For those who are deep in their academic work, “Just Write” sessions offer dedicated time for focused writing in a supportive environment. “Coffee and Convo,” a collaboration with Leddy Library, creates space to explore Black literature and hold thought-provoking discussions around important topics.

Graduate students are invited to participate in student saloons, where they present their works-in-progress in a safe, inclusive space, where they can receive valuable feedback from peers and faculty members alike. Additionally, the “Black Research Spotlight” shines a light on the groundbreaking work of African Caribbean scholars, providing them with a platform to showcase their research and innovations.

In recognition of the challenges posed by systemic anti-Black racism, the BSI offers its members a membership with the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity, providing on-demand access to a wealth of professional development resources. This is just one of the ways BSI ensures its scholars are well-equipped to thrive and succeed in their academic careers. As a research institute, BSI is committed to supporting Black Studies and promoting excellence in scholarships. One vital aspect of this is the awarding of grants to Black scholars. These grants are instrumental in advancing research that is often overlooked in traditional funding competitions.

While visiting the University earlier this month, I learned more about some of the challenges that have been faced in opening BSI. The establishment of this initiative was approved by the University of Windsor’s Senate on October 7th, 2022. The initiative is in alignment with the University’s commitment to the Scarborough Charter (utoronto.ca) on anti-Black racism and Black inclusion in Canadian higher education. In 2023, the University of Windsor (UWindsor) announced their new academic home that would spotlight: Black excellence, scholarship, research, and community. The inaugural Black Scholars Institute (BSI) at UWindsor, was formally launched in September 2024.

Dr. Clinton Beckford, UWindsor’s Vice President of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, envisions that the BSI will be the institutional home for Blackness at the University. “The establishment of a Black Scholars Institute at the University of Windsor is ground-breaking and transformative,” he says.  “It positions the University of Windsor as a post-secondary leader in intellectual thought and practice around Blackness and makes real our commitments to Black flourishing and thriving at and beyond the institution.”

The BSI will work closely with UWindsor’s Interdisciplinary and Critical Studies Department within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Building a Black Scholars academic program represents an innovative plan of action intended to meaningfully understand UWindsor’s approach to African-Caribbean ways of knowing in Canadian universities. The expected output will enhance UWindsor’s research profile in Black Studies and feature scholarly work, special events, speakers’ series, mentorship, and more.

Dr. Camisha Sibblis, the Director at BSI, is hopeful that the institute will enrich the experiences of Black faculty at UWindsor. “We believe that the inclusion of Black peoples, ways of learning and knowledge systems are integral to the growth of our community. The establishment of the BSI is a crucial part of fulfilling the University’s Strategic Mandate Agreement (ontario.ca) and purposefully moving the institution into the future. The Institute will enhance the University’s research profile and will also establish the University as a center of excellence in Windsor-Essex and the Detroit area – a region known for its historic importance for Black people in North America.”

Welcome to the Black Scholars Institute—where excellence thrives, and liberation is pursued through scholarship, research, and community engagement.
