Accusations range from his pro-Russian stance to his anti-WHO Pandemic Treaty stance
On May 15, 2024, a gunman shot Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fico outside of a meeting he had attended. Given their track record and the political stakes involved, many people suspect that U.S. and other Western forces orchestrated this assassination attempt.
Attempted Political Assassination and Immediate Attempted Cover-up?
The gunman shot five bullets at P.M. Fico, and hit him three times, nearly killing him. After several hours of surgery on May 16, doctors kept him in intensive care, and said he is in “stable but a very serious condition.”
Recently, the country had elected Fico-ally Peter Pellegrini as president. Many media outlets stated that this strengthened P.M. Fico’s “pro-Russian” position.
P.M. Fico stated in a speech that he merely wanted to negotiate peace with Russia regarding the Ukraine war. He also said that he would support “zero military aid to Ukraine,” among the most corrupt countries in the world, and said that “the war in Ukraine didn’t start yesterday or last year. It began in 2014 when the Ukrainian Nazis and fascists started to murder Russian citizens in Donetsk and Lugansk.”
Euronews suggested that the gunman, Juraj Cintula, 71, a former security guard and Slovak writer, was pro-Russia. The Times of India, on the other hand, reported that Cintula spoke out vehemently against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Many news outlets also reported that Cintula was a “lone wolf,” though Reuters pointed out several days later that Slovakia Interior Minister Sutaj Estok said an investigation team now has evidence supporting that Cintula was part of “a certain group of people” who “aided in the coverup.”
WHO, with the U.S., Had an Interest in Assassinating Prime Minister Fico?
In November 2023, Prime Minister Fico gave a widely viewed speech that would have angered a number of powerful interests.
For one, P.M. Fico was one of the first European leaders to talk about ending the support of the corrupt Ukrainian coup government warring with Russia.
Secondly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been pushing for countries to sign its “Pandemic Agreement” (also called “Pandemic Treaty” at times) for the last year or two.
Activists and groups, ranging from Georgetown Law School’s O’Neill Institute to bioterrorism expert Meryl Nass, MD, have reported how countries signing this agreement could lose their sovereignty.
Dr. Nass called this “a soft coup: first a takeover of global health, followed by a takeover of everything else the WHO declares is important to health: climate, food, ecosystems, etc.”
P.M Fico had made it clear in his speech that he “will not support the strengthening of the WHO at the expense of sovereign states in managing the fight against pandemics.”
Additionally, Fico went against the grain by opposing mass immigration, transgender ideology, and climate change ideology. Blogger John Leake wrote on his substack that given his iconoclastic views on a broad range of pivotal issues, “it is a matter of certainty that Prime Minister Fico has a vast array of powerful enemies.”
Does Fico’s Shooting Follow a Pattern of Other Assassinations and Coups?
It might be remembered that the U.S. and European leaders supported the February 2014 coup of the elected leader of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who was pro-Russian. In a speech, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland stated the U.S. invested $5 billion in the Ukraine for the country to go in this direction.
Nuland was also secretly recorded in a phone call with U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discussing who she planned to place in power after the coup. She said then-Vice President Joe Biden would aid this coup transition. A transcript of this recording was published by the BBC.
Working in the interest of U.S. oligarchs, the CIA has a long record of trying to remove leaders who do not fit its agenda.
Since the break-up of the Soviet Union, these efforts have only increased.
In Serbia during the late 1990s, the U.S. government invested $80 million in an attempt to unseat socialist leader Slobodan Milosevic before NATO planes bombed the country for more than two months that year.
While the 2014 Ukraine coup was called the “Orange Revolution,” the U.S. government made other investments in “color revolutions,” such as the “Rose Revolution” in the former Soviet state of Georgia in 2003, and the “Tulip Revolution” in Kyrgyzstan in 2005.
Evidence that Fico Is Among Other Leaders Assassinated for Opposing WHO Pandemic Policies
P.M. Fico stated that he would be investigating the tyrannical policies during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, including the “massive vaccination with experimental vaccines.”
It should be noted that this opposes American oligarch Bill Gates’s massive push for the experimental MRNA vaccines as the Gates Foundation is the second-largest funder of the WHO, with only the U.S. government ahead of it, with England third in WHO contributions.
Some have argued that Fico’s stance against the Pandemic Treaty and MRNA vaccines may also have placed him on an assassination list. At least three other national leaders who spoke out against such policies ended up dead not long after.
For example, Tanzania President John Magufuli, who held a doctorate in chemistry, announced that the PCR tests for the virus were fake after he sent goat, sheep and papaya/pawpaw samples with human names to the WHO labs in May 2020. The WHO stated these samples tested positive for the virus. Magufuli was dead by March 2021.
Madagascar’s government also went against the stance of the WHO’s push for vaccines in announcing an herbal “cure” for the virus in May 2020.
In August 2021, Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina arrested high-ranking army and police officials regarding a failed attempt to assassinate him.
At least three other countries’ leaders who opposed the MRNA vaccine also ended up dead in 2021 and Reuters tried to explain away the fact that there may have been foul play. This included Haitian leader Jovenel Moise, who opposed the MRNA vaccine and ended up dead in 2021. Reuters tried to explain away this motive and American involvement. Moise was fatally shot by a band of gunmen, several of whom were Columbians trained by the U.S. military.
As of May 28, 2024, Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak reported P.M. Fico’s condition as “stable with a positive prognosis” after he underwent two surgeries.
Deaths of Iran’s President and Foreign Minister
On May 20, five days after the assassination attempt on P.M. Fico, a helicopter crashed in Iran, killing President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the East Azerbaijan province governor and five others.
In August 2023, Iran joined the anti-NATO BRICS countries conglomerate led by Russia and China and recently had major skirmishes with Israel.
Soon after the Iranian helicopter crash, a government official in Jerusalem told Reuters “it wasn’t us” in a statement. Some might read in this the implication that another country may have been involved in some sort of sabotage causing the crash.
