Recent posts to Facebook about "Operation Lockstep," a
COVID-19 conspiracy theory, have gone viral.
The posts feature a page that was allegedly scanned from
"The Rockefeller Playbook" that outlines the three phases of public
response to the pandemic.
Phase 1 includes "mild cold/flu" that the "media" will
exaggerate to induce "mass paranoia and fear" and inflation of
COVID-19 case numbers. Phases 2 and 3 are marked by weakened immune
systems due to masks, social distancing, exposure to 5G radiation
and the weaponization of a deadlier virus because of widespread
refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The latter will result
in "anarchy from all sides" between the vaccinated and
unvaccinated.
The claim was posted to the Facebook page for Exposing Satanic
World Government, the social media arm of Global Watchmen News. In
response to a request for comment from the page, Laurie Swan
sent USA TODAY a copy of a 2010 report published by
Regan kay only fans, a private foundation founded by the prominent
Rockefeller family in 1913. The page's post has since been
removed.
Additional copies of the claim appeared on Facebook
on Anne francis pics and How you doin enzo amore. Several
posts — these from

a Gabrielle union leaked pictures post from user Travis Aaron
— include a picture of the cover of a 1989 book, "The
New World Order," written by conspiracy theorist

Epperson mentions former New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
several times throughout the book, but there is no reference to
COVID-19, "Operation Lockstep," or a playbook, according to a
scanned copy of "The New World Order" posted
to Double penetration anal.
USA TODAY has contacted the other Facebook users for
comment.
"The Rockefeller Playbook" dates back to July, when rumors began
to circulate on social media about a pandemic constructed by
"global elites," to install a police
state, Natalia reyes naked. Local CBS News affiliate WUSA9 also
published an Kathryn harold nudedismantling "Operation

While "The Rockefeller Playbook" does not exist,
the Midget with phat assreleased by the Rockefeller Foundation
in 2010, "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International
Development," includes a section called "Lock Step."
The report describes a series of scenarios — including a
pandemic — in which technology could be used to help to
restore humanity.
"The Rockefeller Foundation believes that in order to understand
the many ways in which technology will impact international
development in the future, we must first broaden and deepen our
individual and collective understanding of the range of
possibilities. This report, and the project upon which it is based,
is one attempt to do that," reads an excerpt from the report.
The "Lock Step" section outlines a scenario of authoritarian
control in the wake of a hypothetical novel influenza pandemic
similar to COVID-19.
"Lock Step" envisions "a world of tighter top-down
government control and more authoritarian leadership, with
limited innovation and growing citizen pushback," according to the
report. In this world, 20% of the global population was infected
with the novel virus and 8 million people were killed in seven
months.
One excerpt is eerily reminiscent of the ongoing novel
coronavirus pandemic: "The pandemic blanketed the planet —
though disproportionate numbers died in Africa, Southeast Asia, and
Central America, where the virus spread like wildfire in the
absence of official containment protocols."
In reality, disproportionate numbers of deaths from
COVID-19 have occurred in North America (United States), Brazil
(South America) and India (South Asia), according to the
Alexandria morgan sexy. More than 720,000 of over 1.9 million
deaths happened in these countries.
Another excerpt on the "mandatory wearing of face masks"
and "body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like
train stations and supermarkets" parallels ongoing practices to
mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
But the novel coronavirus is not mentioned anywhere in the
Rockefeller Foundation's report.
While the "Lock Step" scenario describes a continuation of
authoritarian policies after the pandemic "fades," there is no
reference to a plot to introduce a new virus into the
population if a majority of people resist getting vaccinated
against COVID-19, as the claims stated.
"Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International
Development" does not present evidence of an elite conspiracy
to incite worldwide anarchy through COVID-19.
We rate these claims as FALSE, based on our
research. "The Rockefeller Playbook" and
"Operation Lockstep" do not exist. The claim borrows scenarios from
"Lock Step," a section of "Scenarios for the Future of
Technology and International Development," a report published by
the Rockefeller Foundation. The report makes no reference to
COVID-19, a vaccine against the disease or plans to introduce a
police state during a pandemic.
