Fico is undergoing surgery while the gunman, who has not yet been publicly identified, is in custody, according to government officials. According to Slovakia Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák, Fico’s medical state is “extraordinarily serious,” and his surgery has been ongoing for at least 3 1/2 hours.
The assassination attempt, which occurred as he was leaving a government meeting, comes only a few days after Slovakia announced that it would not support the WHO’s pending Pandemic Agreement, including the new International Health Regulations (IHR) in the proposal. Slovakia’s health minister declared the country would not sign any agreements weakening the nation’s sovereignty, according to Radio Slovakia International.
In November, Fico referred to the Pandemic Agreement as “nonsense” that “could only be invented by greedy pharmaceutical companies, which began to perceive resistance from some governments against mandatory vaccination,” Euractiv reported.
The WHO’s Pandemic Agreement, which has a May 2024 signing deadline, has been widely denounced as a threat to the national sovereignty of WHO member nations by giving the WHO greater power over the countries in the case of a declared public health emergency. All 49 Republican U.S. Senators have signed a letter urging the Biden administration to reject the WHO agreements, “or at least submit any agreement to the Senate as a treaty.”
Two international agreements are being considered at this month’s World Health Assembly that surrenders U.S. sovereignty to the WHO. @POTUS should reject them, or at least submit any agreement to the Senate as a treaty.

During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast in January, liberal intellectual Bret Weinstein argued that the WHO is gearing up for a “re-run” of COVID-19 in order to set up a “totalitarian planet.” He noted that the agreement is being modified so the WHO will have even more power to crack down on voices that dissent from Big Pharma’s narrative.
Fico won a third term in October after running a campaign critical of Western support for Ukraine, and his government has already halted arms deliveries to the war-torn country, according to the Associated Press. He previously served as prime minister of Slovakia from 2006 to 2010 and from 2012 to 2018, holding a record as the longest-serving prime minister in the country’s history.
Fico has been acutely critical of the mainstream media as well as globalist billionaire George Soros, known for funding the radical left. In November 2021, Fico described journalists as “Soros’ corrupt gang of swines for whom water is already boiling.”

Pam Bondi Reveals What The Holdup Is With Epstein File Release

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Harold Hutchison
Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that the FBI is still reviewing “tens of thousands” of child porn videos that were in the possession of Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein committed suicide while awaiting trial after he was arrested in 2019 on sex charges. Bondi was asked about the delay releasing the documents pertaining to Epstein by a reporter after announcing plans for a press conference Wednesday.
“The FBI, they’re reviewing… there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims and no one victim will ever get released, it’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now,” Bondi said. “The FBI is diligently going through that… I’ll call him later.”

WATCH:
Epstein, who pled guilty to sex charges in 2008, had extensive ties to celebrities, politicians and executives, even after he was a convicted sex offender. Among those who were known to have been close were L Brands founder Lex Wexner, director Woody Allen and Prince Andrew.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also met with Epstein a number of times, as did employees of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates met with Epstein as late as 2019 despite concerns his then-wife, Melinda, expressed according to a May 2021 report by The Wall Street Journal.
The Daily Caller asked President Donald Trump about the delay in releasing the files during an April 22 White House event. “I don’t know, I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know,” Trump told Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese. “I know that we’ve done the RFK, the Kennedy, Martin Luther King is out there very shortly, so we’ll find out. But … we’ve really, really announced, we’re doing them in full transparency.”
Bondi released the first batch of files regarding Epstein on February 27.
