The Last Supper – A painting by Mark Hopkins
8453371358
In 2022 I received a vision for a painting that would revisit the idea of the Last Supper in the context of contemporary society needing salvation. The vision revealed a scene absent the disciples who have been replaced by usurpers who have seized the sacred table, rendered it profane and put their flags on the wall. Seated at the table is a sampling of the actors who wish to take us down the path of a non-human and dysfunctional future. This version of The Last Supper posits a gathering without redemption. It imagines a world filled with deceit and avarice producing a toxic culture of material gluttony. It hints at the destruction their leadership has visited upon this earth.
The imagery in the Last Supper gives you a lot to think about: What's in the future for humanity? What is sacred in our world? What is profane? Is anyone going to save us or must we save ourselves? These topics are central to the discussions that will take place in Geneva, Switzerland on May 31, 2024 at the Inspired Global Leadership Summit, a counterpoint to the WHO meeting that will occur at the same time. The Last Supper painting will be featured at the #WeAreTheChange Rally + March at the Place des Nations in Geneva on June 01, 2024.

The Usurpers
Anthony Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci is an American immunologist who was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022. The NIAID is a part of the National Institute of Health (NIH).
Criticism of Dr. Fauci has come from many quarters, particularly in relation to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was accused of lying about the effectiveness of the vaccine and the necessity of masks and lockdowns.
His emails reveal that he knew that “gain-of-function” coronavirus research was taking place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in January 2020 and that he had approved NIAID funding for the research. He subsequently attempted to coverup his involvement in funding the dangerous research.
Fauci’s support for vaccine mandates and passport systems has been controversial among those advocating for individual choice. He stepped down from the NIH in December 2022.

Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos is an American entrepreneur who founded Amazon.com. Under his leadership, Amazon became a key player in the digital economy, with expansions into various sectors including digital streaming, artificial intelligence, and space exploration through his aerospace company, Blue Origin.
Bezos and Amazon have faced criticism for labor practices, particularly regarding warehouse workers. Critics argue that workers are subjected to intense surveillance, high performance expectations, and potentially unsafe working conditions.
Amazon's dominance in various markets has led to accusations of monopolistic behavior. Critics argue that Amazon's market power stifles competition, harms small businesses, and limits consumer choice.
Despite these criticisms, Jeff Bezos' influence on the global economy is undeniable. He stepped down as CEO of Amazon in 2021 but remains a pivotal figure in the tech and business worlds.

George Soros
George Soros was born on August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary. He survived the Nazi occupation during World War II. After the war, Soros immigrated to England, where he attended the London School of Economics. He founded Soros Fund Management in 1970, which became one of the most successful firms in the hedge fund industry. He gained international notoriety in 1992 when he shorted the British pound and reportedly made a profit of $1 billion, earning him the nickname "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England."
Critics accuse Soros of using his philanthropic activities to interfere in the sovereign affairs of countries and to push a globalist agenda. His role in financial markets, particularly his speculative activities, has also been criticized for potentially destabilizing economies.

Klaus Schwab
Klaus Schwab is a German economist and engineer, best known as the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF). He has had a significant impact on global economic and policy discussions. The WEF holds its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. This event gathers political leaders, business executives, cultural trendsetters, and other influential figures to discuss global issues and foster public-private cooperation.
Schwab has authored several books on economics and management, including "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" and "Stakeholder Capitalism."
Critics accuse Schwab and the WEF of being elitist. The exclusive nature of WEF meetings has sparked debate over the effectiveness of this approach in fairly addressing global inequalities and environmental issues.
Moreover, Schwab's vision of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has raised concerns about privacy, surveillance, and the displacement of jobs due to automation and artificial intelligence.
The WEF’s Young Global Leaders (YGL) program, initiated by Schwab, aims to mentor, and control a global network of leaders who will promote his agendas. The program selects individuals under the age of 40 from various sectors, including business, government, civil society, arts, culture, and science, offering them a platform to disseminate his views on global issues.
Schwab was alleged to have said, “You will eat bugs, own nothing and be happy.” He promotes world depopulation on a massive scale.

Rodrigo Duterte
Rodrigo Duterte, the 16th President of the Philippines, served from 2016 to 2022. His tenure was marked by controversy and significant impacts on both domestic and international fronts.
Duterte launched a war on drugs shortly after he took office. This aggressive campaign drew widespread international criticism for human rights abuses. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International reported extrajudicial killings of suspected drug dealers and users, estimating thousands of deaths.
His administration also faced criticism for handling the COVID-19 pandemic, with detractors pointing to the harmful impact of strict lockdowns on the economy and individual freedoms.
Duterte's legacy is viewed as a period marked by human rights violations, undermining democratic institutions, and eroding the rule of law.

The Artist
Bill Gates
Bill Gates was a co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, which played a pivotal role in the personal computer revolution. Gates is notable for his questionable efforts in the field of global health through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In recent years, Gates has been particularly vocal about vaccine development, investing heavily in vaccine research and distribution projects, especially in developing countries such as Africa and India. Human rights activists flagged concerns and expressed anger about Gates and the BMGF’s activities in India calling for Gates’ arrest for conducting illegal medical trials on vulnerable groups in two Indian states.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and his partners used their clout to control the global Covid response with little oversight. Along with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, there was Gavi, the global vaccine organization that Gates helped to found to inoculate people in low-income nations; and the Wellcome Trust with a multibillion-dollar endowment, along with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, or CEPI that Gates had helped to create in 2017.
Gates’ investments in vaccine production caused his wealth to increase during the pandemic period. In February 2024, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index listed Gates as the fifth-richest person in the world, with a net worth of about US $148 billion.

Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State during the Obama administration, a U.S. Senator, and First Lady during Bill Clinton’s presidency. Her extensive public service career has been marked by significant controversies.
Clinton was criticized for her use of a private email server for official communications during her tenure as Secretary of State. The FBI investigated the matter, concluding that Clinton was "extremely careless" in handling classified information, but recommended against charging her with any crime.
She was criticized for her lapses during the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, which resulted in the death of four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. As Secretary of State, Clinton failed to secure the compound and responded inadequately to the crisis. Multiple congressional investigations were conducted, with critics arguing that the tragedy highlighted significant lapses in her judgment and leadership.
Clinton's close ties to Wall Street and the financial sector have been a point of contention especially regarding her highly paid speeches to major financial institutions. Critics argue that these relationships indicate a conflict of interests.
Her role in foreign policy decisions, particularly the intervention in Libya, murder of Gaddifi, and support for the Iraq War, have led to destabilization in the Middle East and contributed to the rise of extremist groups.
Clinton has faced criticism over the Clinton Foundation's dubious fundraising practices, and the discrepancies between her public and private positions on various issues.

Justin Trudeau
Justin Trudeau first became Prime Minister of Canada after his Liberal Party won the federal election on October 19, 2015. He has since been re-elected twice. As a WEF Young Global Leader, he is one of Klaus Schwab’s proteges.
Trudeau has been the subject of multiple investigations by the Ethics Commissioner. Notably, he was found to have violated conflict of interest rules in the Aga Khan and SNC-Lavalin affairs.
His government purchased the Trans Mountain pipeline, planning to triple its capacity. This move has been criticized by environmentalists and Indigenous groups, highlighting a perceived inconsistency between his promises and actions.
Trudeau's government was criticized for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He invoked a draconian emergency measure for the first time in the country’s history after anti-vaccine truckers and their supporters converged on the capital in January 2022 to demand that Canada lift an order requiring truckers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to cross the land border with the United States. Members of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” occupied the city demanding an end to all coronavirus restrictions in Canada. Other similar protests sprung up at key border crossings to protest Trudeau’s oppressive vaccine policies.

Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney, served as the Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush. Cheney's tenure is marked by significant influence over U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, and a strong advocacy for expansive executive powers.
Cheney played a pivotal role in shaping the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks, advocating for the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. His insistence on Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which later proved to be false, and his connections to the oil industry, have led critics to question his motivations behind the Iraq War, which resulted in widespread destruction, loss of life, and long-term regional instability.
Cheney's support for the use of “enhanced interrogation” techniques (torture), warrantless wiretapping, and the detention of suspects without trial at Guantanamo Bay, has been condemned both domestically and internationally for undermining human rights and international law.

Xi Jinping
Xi Jinping, born in 1953, served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, making him the paramount leader of China. His leadership is characterized by an assertive foreign policy and a tight grip on civil liberties and dissent.
He oversaw a wide-ranging anti-corruption campaign that was a means to sideline political rivals and consolidate power. Under his leadership, China has become dominant in global high-tech industries.
His tenure is marked by increased state surveillance, censorship, and a decrease in civil liberties, with a notable crackdown on dissent, the press, and ethnic minorities, as evidenced by the oppression of the Uighurs in Xinjiang.
His handling of domestic dissent and the Uighurs have drawn international condemnation for human rights abuses. His ongoing COVID-19 policies of strict lockdowns, mandatory quarantines and testing, and business closures have been some of the most severe and oppressive in the world.

Donald Trump
Donald Trump was the president of the U.S. from 2017 to 2021. His business career, prior to his presidency, was marked by flamboyant achievements and controversies. He inherited a real estate business from his father, Fred Trump, and expanded it into a vast empire, including hotels, casinos, golf courses, and other properties worldwide. Notably, Trump has filed for corporate bankruptcy four times, primarily related to casino and hotel properties in the 1990s and 2000s.
A Republican, his presidential platform focused on immigration reform, economic nationalism, and a promise to "drain the swamp" of corruption in Washington, D.C. His tenure was characterized by significant tax cuts, efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and a hardline stance on immigration policy. Trump's foreign policy actions included renegotiating trade deals, engaging with North Korea, and withdrawing the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate agreement.
Trump was impeached twice by the House of Representatives—first for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress regarding Ukraine, and second for alleged incitement of insurrection during the January 6, 2021, so-called attack on the U.S. Capitol. In truth, deep state intelligence assets were planted among peaceful protesters to foment chaos on that day. In both impeachment cases he was acquitted by the Senate.
Donald Trump's impact on American politics has been profound. His unconventional approach to governance and frequent use of social media to communicate directly with the public have allowed him to gather a significant base of support who laud him for delivering on his campaign promises, including appointing conservative judges, and achieving tax reform.

Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard dropout, revolutionized the way we connect online. Facebook, now Meta Platforms, Inc., became a global phenomenon, altering social interactions and marketing. However, the Cambridge Analytica scandal where personal data of millions of Facebook users were harvested without consent, underscored the poor ethical standards of Facebook's leadership and their disregard for user privacy.
Under Zuckerberg's stewardship, Facebook embarked on an aggressive expansion strategy, acquiring potential rivals like Instagram and WhatsApp. This consolidation of power in the social media domain has led to criticisms of monopoly behavior, stifling competition, and limiting choices.
Studies have linked excessive social media use to depression, anxiety, and lower self-esteem, particularly among teenagers.
Mark Zuckerberg's legacy is marred by the platform's role in ethical breaches, privacy invasions, and oppressive censorship policies.
