Seamus Bruner (photo above) is a page-turning, ground-breaking new author whose first name (when pronounced correctly) sounds like “shameless.” It is only fitting.
The number-crunching investigative journalist is shamelessly exposing the rich and elite for their sinister, back-door plans to control the world. So the name of his new book, “Controligarchs,” is only fitting.
Bruner appeared in Fernandina Beach recently to promote his impressive book and deliver his consequential message. His short speech before some 100 people at the American Beach Community Center was hair-raisingly alarming.
Bruner’s appearance was arranged by the Citizens Defending Freedom chapter in Nassau County. The group, headed locally by Jack Knocke, works tirelessly to promote individual freedoms.
Bruner has worked since 2011 with Peter Schweizer, an ultimate investigative journalist. Schweizer is the president of the Government Accountability Institute in Tallahassee, a conservative think tank.
The cover of the book shows the chief culprits: Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros. The description reads like a sci-fi movie: “Exposing the billionaire class, their secret deals, and the globalist plot to dominate your life.”
The book’s summary on Amazon delves into eerie details: “Imagine a world in which you own nothing and rent everything. Most of the protein in your diet comes from bugs. You are not allowed to have more than one child, and your financial and medical data are instantly transferred to a centralized government database through a subdermal microchip.”
Bruner sees this as part of “The Great Reset.” He cites these startling examples: Gates’s $11 billion food takeover scheme; Zuckerberg’s $36 billion plan to re-engineer society; Bezos’s $1.2 billion plot to spy on your “smart” home; the Soros family’s project to influence elections.
Here are some highlights of Bruner’s speech:
–The Government Accountability Institute’s motto is “to follow the money.” In his research for Schweitzer’s powerful book, “Clinton Cash,” Bruner analyzed mounds of the Clinton Foundation spreadsheets. “And we eventually found out that Hillary Clinton is crooked,” Bruner said.
–“The pandemic was really a wake-up call,” Bruner said. While small businesses were crushed during the lockdowns, large businesses like Walmart and Amazon and The Home Depot flourished.
–“There’s this class above the politicians,” Bruner said. “The politicians are really puppets – exerting the will of what I call the Controligarchs. The billionaires and bureaucrats want to control and dominate every aspect of your lives.”
–People ask him why there is unfettered illegal immigration, runaway inflation, rampant crime in major cities. “All of this chaos that you’re seeing is actually part of a carefully constructed plan,” Bruner said, “to transfer power away from you, away from your country, into international institutions controlled by them (World Health Organization, United Nations, World Economic Forum).”
–The enormous food and energy sectors are both being controlled. Energy is being revolutionized by so-called “green” endeavors, while some elements of food – i.e., flatulent cows – are being targeted in places like Ireland. While U.S. citizens won’t comply with such foolishness, “They’re going to make it more expensive” to buy a steak, for instance, Bruner said. “Bill Gates calls it the green premium.”
–Artificial Intelligence is coming for your jobs, especially professional careers in an “inverse” effect. AI can replace 40 percent of the workforce; those who become unemployable will receive Universal Basic Income, a paltry government supplement.
–Within the energy takeover, “smart meters” are being placed on thermostats in places like Denver, Colorado as well as Texas and California. It’s sold to you as a way of saving electricity; however, during times of peak energy consumption, “You might just get locked out” from using it, Bruner said. In other words, you won’t be able to turn up the heat during a cold night.
–Digital health identification cards are being promoted as a convenient way to track medical records. Gates is partnering with the United Nations on this concept right now. However, “They don’t want you to have a voter ID,” Bruner said. “You’ll need a digital ID for everything except voting.”
–Digital currencies are a way to track your spending – and even deny it. In Canada, the bank accounts of protesting truckers were frozen. “Just for protesting,” Bruner said. “And they’re doing this kind of stuff to Americans.”
–Social credit scores are being rolled out in some places. You are scored “based on how compliant you are.” Bruner joked the audience members would have low scores.
Bruner says “sustainable development goals” encompassing many of these efforts are due by 2030. Gates, a ringleader in these “progressive” initiatives, also worries about over-population.
The world’s population is expected to reach 9 billion people, up from 6 billion now. “That’s way too many – we need to cut that by 10 to 15 percent,” Gates has been quoted as saying.
To this, Bruner pauses, assessing the numbers in his head. “How do you get rid of the people?” he quips. Some believe the Covid vaccines were a step in this direction. Bruner’s breakthrough book bares it all.
