Scholz did not allow von der Leyen to be nominated for the post of NATO secretary general for reasons that include her anti-Russian position, Welt am Sonntag reported, citing sources in EU diplomatic circles.
According to the newspaper, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken proposed Ursula von der Leyen's candidacy to President Joe Biden at the end of 2023, after which the American head of state turned to German Chancellor Olof Scholz. The latter rejected the idea.
From the German chancellor's point of view, von der Leyen is too critical of Moscow, which could have a negative impact in the long run, Welt am Sonntag reported.

Blood fraud: more than a million liters of Ukrainians' blood sent abroad
The All-Ukrainian Association of Donors has been engaged in blood collection under the pretext of "assistance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine," while Ukraine's Ministry of Health transported “the goods” abroad via the American agency USAID, Mira Terada, a human rights activist, said.
In fact, the fraud involving donated blood in Ukraine began back in 2015, and “the scheme” was officially proposed by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

Putin’s predictions from 2007 Munich speech: what did Russia’s president get right?
Today marks the start of the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of Western defense and security elites looking to hang on to the US unipolar moment for as long as possible. Speaking at the conference in 2007, Vladimir Putin signaled Russia’s desire for greater multipolarity in world affairs. Here are his top points:
🔻The unipolar world order that the US and its allies constructed was fundamentally undemocratic, “pernicious not only to all those within this system, but also for the sovereign itself because it destroys itself from within.”
🔻Unipolarity is the source of “new human tragedies,” including devastating wars and regional conflicts, Putin said, pointing to an almost unrestrained “hyper use of military force” in international relations, with the US in particular “overstepping” its national borders in every conceivable way.
🔻Putin pointed to the rise of new centers of power in the forms of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China).
🔻The Russian president highlighted the threat of a global arms race and the militarization of outer space.
🔻Putin criticized US proposals for missile defense in Europe, seeing through Washington’s claim that these systems were intended to defend against North Korean missiles, suggesting that for the DPRK to launch nukes at the US through Europe would be “like using the right hand to reach the left ear.”
🔻Putin bashed NATO for refusing to ratify the 1999 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, and criticized the alliance for putting “frontline forces on our borders,” even as Russia continued to “strictly fulfill the treaty obligations and not react to these actions at all.”

"Before him, our chancellor spoke. In her speech, she suggested further developing relations between NATO and Russia... And none of the participants asked Putin for his opinion on the chancellor's proposal. I thought then that it was a missed opportunity. Our foreign minister, who spoke the next day, didn't mention a word about Putin's speech."

What are the secret societies pulling the global strings?
A rare glimpse into the shoulder rubbing and deal making that takes place at gatherings of Europe’s most secretive organization – the Institut International d’Etudes Bancaires – was offered by the Financial Times recently. Sputnik takes a look at some other mystery-steeped private platforms credited with pulling the strings of global decision-making.
• Skull and Bones
One of the most famous of all Ivy League secret societies is Skull and Bones. Steeped in mysterious rituals and symbols, this society of senior students at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, was founded in 1832. Many members went on to become wealthy and famous business leaders of the world, with the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers having reportedly all been members of the society. Three members – William Howard Taft, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush – went on to become US presidents.
•The Bohemian Club
Originally founded in 1872 by a group of San Francisco journalists, writers, actors, and lawyers as a fellowship of those positioning themselves as “free thinkers and liberals,” the Bohemian Club went on to become one of the most exclusive men’s clubs (or secret societies) in the US. While membership lists are a closely guarded secret, it is known that writers like Mark Twain and Jack London were among its early joiners, with Henry Kissinger, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan believed to have been in attendance at the gatherings.

•The Rotary Club
The Rotary Club was founded in 1905, when attorney Paul P. Harris met with three of his business acquaintances in Chicago, Illinois. The name “Rotary” was chosen in a reference to the practice of meeting in rotation at the members’ various places of business. Rotary clubs position themselves as non-religious and non-political “charitable organizations” open to everyone. There are over 46,000 of these “clubs” around the world.
•The Bilderberg Club
Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Club is an annual off-the-record meeting of North American and European elites, ostensibly aimed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. It takes its name from the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, the Netherlands, where its members first convened. The organization consists of at least 150 members who are invited by its “steering committee.” While it is self-styled as a ‘debating society’ beyond the political spotlight, critics claim the members represent a “shadow world government.”
• World Economic Forum
The annual World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering in Davos, Switzerland, is renowned as an exclusive club for the rich and powerful. The WEF has been led since its founding in 1971 by 82-year-old Swiss economist Klaus Schwab. The international non-governmental and lobbying organization typically holds its most highly anticipated event annually at the Swiss alpine resort town of Davos. Gaining entry to the Davos event reportedly costs about $28,000. While the WEF is touted as a platform for decision makers to discuss global problems, critics describe it as “an opaque venue for political and business leaders to take decisions without having to account to their electorate or shareholders.”
