This document discusses the Global Business Network (GBN) and its alleged involvement in planning and shaping global events, particularly pandemics like Covid-19. The author claims that GBN, along with entities like the US National Intelligence Council, Rockefeller Foundation, and Shell, have been involved in scenario planning for decades, predicting and potentially orchestrating major global crises. The text traces the origins of scenario planning to Shell and individuals like Pierre Wack, Peter Schwartz, and Napier Collyns, who founded GBN.
The author asserts that GBN’s network of members, often with ties to powerful institutions such as the World Bank, World Economic Forum, and various corporations, have acted as “scriptwriters” for global events, including pandemics. The article suggests that the recurring themes and symbols found in corporate logos, political campaigns, and media point to a coordinated effort by influential families to maintain control and profit from manufactured crises. The author speculates on the familial and financial connections between prominent figures and organizations, linking them to a perceived “Families” or “brotherhood” that manipulates world events.
The summary further details the alleged connections between GBN members and various influential groups and individuals, including Steve Jackson and his Illuminati Cards, Dustin Hoffman’s movie “Outbreak”, the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Stuarts, Cohens, Gates, Kennedys, Schwabs, and others. The author also highlights the recurring “rising sun” symbol as a marker of this alleged global conspiracy. The document concludes by suggesting that GBN, despite its official shutdown, continues to operate through various offshoots and that the planned events serve the interests of these powerful families.
Here is a list of subjects, names, references, locations, companies, etc. mentioned in the text, marked with double square brackets:
The US National Intelligence Council has been publishing Global Trends reports since 1997. The 2004 report, “Mapping the Global Future: Report of the National Intelligence Council’s 2020 Project” (shortened to NIC 2020 Project), is highlighted. The article links this report to “scriptwriters of the Covid hoax.”
Experts consulted for the report included Ged Davis, former head of Shell International’s scenario-planning team, and Peter Schwartz, chairman of Global Business Network (GBN). Shell is described as a pioneer of scenario planning.
In 2010, the Rockefeller Foundation published “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development,” co-authored with GBN. This report featured a scenario called “Lock Step,” which the author claims predicted Covid lockdowns.
The National Intelligence Council (NIC) published a report in 2003 called “SARS: Down But Still a Threat,” which the author believes shows Covid-19/Sars-Cov-2 as a continuation of the SARS/Sars-Cov-1 project. A 2000 NIC report, “The Global Infectious Disease Threat and its Implications for the United States,” is also mentioned for predicting future pandemics.
The author mentions a “new world order” and President Clinton’s Presidential Decision Directive in 1996 on infectious diseases, as well as the movie Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman released in 1995. Steve Jackson and his Illuminati Cards from the 1990s are also brought up.

Pierre Wack, a Frenchman and head of “business environment” research for Shell Group Planning, is credited with pioneering scenario planning. He retired in 1981 to a medieval château. The article claims he is admitting that GBN and its successors are behind societal destabilization.
Adam Kahane, a GBN member and Shell alumnus, helped in South Africa. The surname Kahane is linked to Cohen, and thus to Rothschilds. Lambert family is another branch of Rothschilds and is linked to Rockefellers.
