That's why so many politicians seem to have B-lined it there for seemingly no reason, despite the vast swathes of bullshit going on elsewhere right now. They had to explain the sudden appearance half-way across the world.
The security risk alone on the cusp of a Russian war is telling. They delayed the meeting a few months because they never anticipated Russia would invade Ukraine, so they had to doctor the speeches to include those events. Omicron was the excuse. They knew Putin would move out last December.
Before Ukraine, Monkeypox was their plan, and they filmed everything with it in mind. The push for it now is a ham-fisted way to keep their old footage current. It would look weird otherwise.
Why didn't Biden show? Because they weren't sure if he would still be in office by then, 25th amendment and all... He putz'd off to Asia suddenly as an excuse for not being there.
We are watching a show. The man behind the curtain is currently fighting off Toto pulling his pants down.
Everyone on camera is actually in hiding (or dead). This is their "we're still here, everything is fine, don't worry, the NWO is unstoppable" message to all the shocktroopers wondering if they should come clean to Durham/White Hats yet.
This is peak Weekend at Bernie's. Everyone could be a stiff. Cough cough, Soros, cough cough.
That's my theory anyway...
'member all those who suddenly were positive for the coof, but thankfully they were boosted up the ying yang so weren't dead - yeah peperidge farm does!
