WHO & EU Launch AI to Control Online ‘Misinformation’
Cindy Harper via TIA | October 24, 2025
The World Health Organization has introduced a major overhaul of its global monitoring network, unveiling an AI-powered platform that tracks online conversations and media activity in real time.
Known as Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources 2.0 (EIOS), the system is being presented as a new step in “pandemic preparedness,” but its reach extends well beyond disease surveillance.
The upgrade is part of a growing merger between health monitoring, digital tracking, and centralized information control.
![[Image: R041_Eio.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/HTimages_r-z/R041_Eio.jpg)
The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) launches the EIOS new version
Developed with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), the new version of EIOS is designed to scan the internet for signals of emerging health threats.
According to the WHO, it now automatically analyzes social media posts, websites, and other public sources to detect possible outbreaks.
While this is described as a tool for early warning, it effectively allows a global health authority to observe the world’s digital conversations under the banner of safety.
The WHO’s EIOS Collaboration page indicates that partners are also exploring projects such as “News Article Credibility Detection” and “Misinformation Classification Systems.”
These initiatives suggest a growing interest in shaping how information is categorized and filtered.
The latter effort appears linked to the JRC’s “Misinfo Classifier,” released in 2020, which the JRC described as an AI program that detects “fake news” by analyzing the tone and intensity of language in articles.
The organization claimed the tool achieved an 80% success rate and stated that “this is comparable to the state of the art right now.”
At the time, the JRC said the classifier was already in use by the European Commission and European Parliament, and that it would soon be shared with professional fact-checking organizations.
The existence of that project highlights how data analysis and information control are being integrated into public health infrastructure.
![[Image: R041_Ted.jpg]](https://traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/HTimages_r-z/R041_Ted.jpg)
The head of WHO, Tedros Ghebreyesus, relies on Xi Jinping, president of Communist China
The WHO reports that EIOS now operates in more than 110 countries and collaborates with over 30 organizations, including national governments and the European Commission. The platform is being offered “free of charge” to eligible users, along with training materials and support.
This approach ties national monitoring systems directly into a WHO-managed network that continuously gathers and processes global data.
The WHO’s concept of “social listening” sheds more light on this strategy. It defines social listening as “the process of listening to and analyzing conversations and narratives” to understand people’s “attitudes, knowledge, beliefs, and intentions.”
In practical terms, this means that the organization is not only collecting data about disease but also analyzing how citizens think and communicate online.
In its October 13 announcement, the WHO described EIOS 2.0 as “more open, more agile and more inclusive.”
However, under that language lies an expanding surveillance framework that uses artificial intelligence to interpret global social behavior.
A system supposedly for improving health security could easily function as a tool for monitoring public opinion and online expression.
This initiative combines artificial intelligence, government cooperation, and social media tracking under the label of global health security. It represents a change from traditional disease control toward the ongoing analysis of public communication, where algorithms determine which discussions appear “relevant” or “misleading.”
This is something that the WHO has been looking at implementing for some time.
For countries choosing to adopt EIOS, dependence on WHO data and analysis may come at the cost of digital independence.
Under the justification of protecting public health, the WHO is establishing an always-on digital network that watches, classifies, and evaluates global discourse, quietly redefining what it means to manage health and information in the same breath.

Leo XIV Escalates Climate Change: "Countries Will Disappear in Less Than Fifty Years"
![[Image: goqfcmexwiel0v2lmidvummrf237vcfc8nyk53n?...1761462011]](https://seedus0275.gloriatv.net/storage1/goqfcmexwiel0v2lmidvummrf237vcfc8nyk53n?secure=P_mYy3L44gUK1_yxrCgwVw&expires=1761462011)
gloria.tv | October 24, 2025
On 24 October, Pope Leo XIV participated in a meeting of bodies of the Rome Synod on Synods that emphasized buzzwords such as listening, participation, dialogue and inclusion.
He spoke several times about the 'care of creation' as a mission priority: "I recently met with a bishop from Oceania who told me that climate change is such an urgent issue that, if things continue as they are, his country will disappear in less than fifty years."
Pope Leo XIV reiterated that there is an "urgent cry" from people in different parts of the world, whether due to poverty, injustice, or climate change.
Learning from those “who may never be members of the Church”
When talking about Africa, Pope Leo XIV said that he wants the Church to be a bridge, especially when Christians find themselves in the minority alongside members of other religions, such as Islam.
He proposed a Church that listens to "the wisdom that we find in men and women, in members of the Church and in those who are searching and who may never be members of the Church, but who are indeed looking for truth".
Women religious as ministers of sacraments
When asked when "men and women will be equal in the Church", Leo XIV replied: "Unfortunately, the way we live out our faith is often influenced more by our culture than by Gospel values."
He also presented a Peruvian role model: "There is a congregation of consecrated religious women whose vocation is to serve in places where there are no priests. In these remote communities, they are authorised to baptise, act as official witnesses in marriages and bring the presence of the Church to people who would otherwise be deprived of it."
Leo XIV wanted to “set aside the more complex questions that are being studied by various working groups”. He believes that “the real issue lies in the cultural obstacles that still exist.”

Pope Leo holds service with Charles III, head of church that canceled Catholicism for centuries
Nearly five centuries after England outlawed the Mass, its monarch joined a Vatican service with Pope Leo for ‘Christian unity.’

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - OCTOBER 23: Pope Leo XVI meets with King Charles III during an audience at the Apostolic Palace
on October 23, 2025 in Vatican City, Vatican.

Oct 24, 2025
(LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted - not all hyperlinks included from the original]) – King Charles III prayed alongside Leo XIV in the Sistine Chapel during a state visit to the Vatican – a gesture unprecedented since England’s schism from Rome.
The king and queen were seated next to Leo XIV, with the Anglican Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell co-presiding over the ecumenical service of psalms and readings.
The theme of the service was “Christian unity” and was based on Sext (the midday prayers in the Divine Office).
After the ceremony, Leo XIV and the king left the sanctuary together, exchanging a few words as they did so.
Among those present was Cardinal Vincent Nichols of the Archdiocese of Westminster, who was seated next to Rosie Frew, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland’s General Assembly. Frew was dressed in a Roman collar, and the two could be seen talking together in the chapel before the service.
The earlier meeting and service
Earlier in the day, Leo XIV received the royal couple in audience and discussed “matters of common interest,” including “environmental protection and the fight against poverty,” and “the need to continue promoting ecumenical dialogue.”
The king and queen also took part in another ecumenical service at the Basilica of St. Paul outside the Walls, led by Cottrell and Cardinal James Michael Harvey of the Basilica itself, with many of the same dignitaries mentioned taking leading parts.
At this earlier service, the king and queen were again seated in the sanctuary on thrones that bore the royal coat of arms and the words from the Gospel of St. John, Ut unum sint (“That they may be one”).
“The throne will remain in the apse of the Basilica,” reported Vatican News, “and will be used in the future by the king himself and his heirs and successors.” The king was also awarded the honorary title of “Royal Confrater,” with Cardinal Harvey claiming that Charles was being welcomed not just as a head of state but also as a “brother.”
The king bestowed upon Leo XIV the title “Papal Confrater” of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, and the “Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Bath.”
The English ‘Reformation’
As the king of the United Kingdom, Charles III is the “Supreme Governor of the Church of England.”
In the 1530s, King Henry VIII’s Parliament passed laws bringing England into schism with the Catholic Church. Communion was restored in the 1550s by his daughter Queen Mary, but broken again by Queen Elizabeth I in 1558. Since the break with Rome, no reigning British monarch has prayed in public with a Pope.
The English were obliged to attend Anglican services or face crippling fines. Many Catholic priests were executed as “traitors” during this period.
It took several centuries before civil rights were fully restored to Catholics and the practice of the Catholic religion made legal. To this day, British law prohibits the monarch from being a Catholic and requires a series of Protestant oaths at the coronation ceremony.
The king also recently visited the Birmingham Oratory. However, none of this indicates an imminent conversion to the Catholic faith. Charles III has made visits to many other religious sites, and has previously expressed his sympathy with “Guénonian traditionalism” (or “perennialism”). While some aspects of perennialism may appeal to Catholics, it posits a “transcendental unity of religion” – namely, that all “traditional religions” are manifestations of single, “true religion” prior to each of them.
This philosophy, which is incompatible with the Catholic Faith, is at the root of Charles’ interest in interfaith activities.
Criticism
The Vatican described the encounters as a “historic step for Christian unity,” while critics on both sides warned that such symbolism risks obscuring doctrinal division rather than healing it.
Rev. Kyle Paisley, the son of Rev. Ian Paisley and a Free Presbyterian minister, condemned the state visit and ceremonies. Paisley claimed that the King was not “being true to his oath” and said that he should abdicate.
“The Protestant faith historically and theologically is a world apart from Catholicism,” he said, adding that “I don’t for the life of me see how he can engage in that kind of corporate worship … It gives the impression that it’s not essentially different.”
For similar reasons to those raised by Paisley, Catholic theology warns that communicatio in sacris (the communication in sacred things) with non-Catholics is, in many cases, gravely immoral.
Speaking exclusively to LifeSiteNews, Theo Howard of The Two Cities Podcast said:
Quote:Of all the countless postconciliar grave scandals committed by the hierarchy, communicatio in sacris is perhaps the one faithful Catholics have become most numbed to. Nevertheless, at the sight of the present King, his mistress and several ministers of the Anglican sect being invited to actively take part in Catholic worship, faithful English Catholics cannot but hear the cries of the English martyrs, of Margaret Clitherow or William Hart, or those words of St Cuthbert – “But hold no communion with those who err from this unity of the Catholic Faith”.
One of the roots of the contemporary agony of the Church was the deliberate abandonment of Thomistic philosophy. In response to Henry VIII’s Catholic work ‘In Defence of the Seven Sacraments’, Luther scathingly called him “Rex Thomisticus” (the Thomistic King). It was Pope Leo X who then granted Henry the title Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith), which the monarch continues to style himself to this day.
May we respond to these outrages by praying more ardently than ever, that our King, or his successors, convert to the true faith – and that Rome itself be cleansed of Modernism, so that the British King may worthily pray in union with the Catholic Pope, and that what Luther said in scorn may be borne with pride.

Rome’s Latin Mass Concessions Come With Conditions
From Cleveland to the Sistine Chapel, mercy is granted only to those who first confess Vatican II.
Chris Jackson via Hiraeth in Exile [slightly adapted] | Oct 22, 2025
It’s a familiar pattern by now: every “concession” from Rome arrives with a leash attached. Every word of compassion conceals a doctrinal condition. Every token nod toward tradition serves to remind you who is boss. This week’s Vatican stories form a single portrait of the post-conciliar Church: a faith administered on parole, a mercy that demands ideological compliance, and a gospel repackaged as therapy.
The Latin Mass on Parole
The headlines sounded merciful: “Vatican grants two-year extension for Latin Mass in Cleveland.”
The faithful in Akron and Cleveland exhaled, grateful that the Mass of their forefathers had not been stamped out entirely. Yet the truth came, as it always does, not from Rome but from a parish email leaked to social media.
The bishop, it turns out, had asked for five years. He was granted two—and only on the condition that the clergy “lead the faithful attached to the anterior ritual form towards full appreciation and acceptance of the liturgical books renewed by decree of the Second Vatican Council.” The Vatican even recommended that one of the traditional Masses be replaced by a Novus Ordo in Latin.
So the “extension” is really an ultimatum: learn to love Vatican II or lose your Mass. The faithful are allowed to kneel only long enough to be re-educated. The Old Rite survives, not as a legitimate expression of the Roman faith, but as a behavioral-correction program. This is not mercy; it’s management. It’s the same technique used with every dissenting remnant: appease, isolate, retrain, and eventually dissolve.
The post-conciliar Church never simply forbids; it “accompanies” you until you stop resisting.
Green Ecumenism in the Sistine Chapel
While Cleveland’s faithful are told to rediscover their enthusiasm for Vatican II, the head of that same conciliar Church prepares to host an ecumenical “prayer for the care of Creation” in the Sistine Chapel. King Charles III will join him under the slogan of “ecological conversion.”
Archbishop Viganò captured it succinctly: two “supreme authorities” of their respective modern churches, united not by faith in Christ but by the “environmentalist and neo-Malthusian ideology of the World Economic Forum.”
Leo will reportedly gift Charles a seat inscribed Ut unum sint—“that they may be one.” But one in what? Certainly not in the Catholic faith once defended by the martyrs whom Henry VIII butchered. The unity on display is the new conciliar unity: emotional, horizontal, and completely un-evangelical.
It is the Church of atmospheric fellowship, where conversion is environmental and salvation means sustainability. The Sistine Chapel becomes a kind of interfaith greenhouse: Michelangelo’s Last Judgment presiding over a climate summit.
Mercy for the Planet, Silence for the Martyrs
While the Vatican choreographs its ecological pageant, the Secretary of State assures the world that the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria “is not a religious conflict.” Cardinal Parolin, ever the diplomat, explains that the violence is “a social one,” the result of “disputes between herders and farmers.”
But the facts defy him.
Between January 2023 and December 2024, Nigeria suffered a surge in religiously motivated violence, particularly in the North and Middle Belt. Armed groups like Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) led coordinated assaults on churches, villages, and clergy. In Plateau and Benue States alone, thousands were displaced and hundreds killed, including over 1,100 Christians, among them twenty priests, within a single month after the 2023 presidential inauguration. During Christmas 2023, joint attacks by local and foreign militants left nearly 300 dead; by June 2025, another 200 displaced Christians were massacred in Benue.
(Parolin’s “herders”above)
Church leaders describe the campaign as deliberate, a jihadist strategy to expel Christian populations. Radicalized Fulani herdsmen, aided by Islamist militias, continue systematic attacks and land seizures. Even Catholic schools have been assaulted, such as the 2024 attack on a Christian high school in Makurdi, where blasphemy accusations and witchcraft-related killings inflamed the violence. Dozens of clergy have been kidnapped or murdered, while regional hisbah police enforce Sharia restrictions in northern states, defying constitutional law.
Yet Parolin tells us this is about “social tensions.” The same Vatican that can detect “microaggressions” against the environment cannot recognize a genocide against its own flock. When the blood of martyrs cries from the ground, Rome hears only the “cry of the earth.”
Universities Without Faith
From diplomacy to academia, the same decay spreads. Georgetown University, once the proud flagship of Catholic scholarship, has chosen a new president who publicly rejects the Church’s teaching on homosexuality.
Eduardo Peñalver announced years ago that he “takes inspiration” from “committed gay couples” and believes the Church “erred” in her moral teaching. That alone should have disqualified him. Instead, it qualified him.
The Jesuits call him “an exceptional leader steeped in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition.” And indeed he is, if that “tradition” means perpetual dissent disguised as dialogue. The universities that were meant to defend the faith now produce administrators who deny it with a smile. Their theology departments churn out relativism as readily as their cafeterias serve fair-trade coffee.
Once the faith leaves the sanctuary, the classroom quickly forgets it ever existed.
The Synodal Mood of Rome
Leo’s own addresses this week were minor variations on the same theme. Speaking to the Portuguese College, he praised the “polyphony of unity” and “listening to what the Spirit inspires in each believer.” The words sound harmless, even poetic. Yet beneath the glow lies the same synodal anthropology: revelation as conversation, truth as tone, the Church as a focus group for the Holy Spirit.
But the deeper signal came in his General Audience on the Resurrection.
The Therapeutic Resurrection
![[Image: https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.ama...x1080.jpeg]](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/%24s_!GtSK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbfd75da6-aa1d-460f-b77d-755468930436_1620x1080.jpeg)
(The grotesque, distorted, sculpture of the Resurrection in Paul VI Audience Hall)
“The resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Leo began, “can heal one of the malaises of our time: sadness.” What follows is not apostolic preaching but cognitive-behavioral therapy. Christ’s victory over death becomes a “gentle reminder when the going gets tough.” The two disciples of Emmaus are not witnesses to divine revelation but patients learning perspective.
The Resurrection, in his telling, is no longer the cosmic reversal of sin and death, it’s the emotional recovery of disappointed men. It “changes our outlook,” he says, “filling the void of sadness.” Gone are the thunderclaps of Easter morning, the stone rolled away by angelic power. Gone the triumph over Satan, the promise of our own glorified bodies. What remains is a moral of resilience.
Where Scripture proclaims “If Christ be not risen, your faith is vain,” Leo offers something closer to “If Christ be not risen, you might feel sad—but take heart.” The event that once shattered the pagan world is rewritten as a mood enhancer, a wellness narrative for the spiritually fatigued.
This is the last mutation of Vatican II religion: revelation reduced to therapy, miracle to metaphor, resurrection to reassurance. A Church that once declared “He is risen indeed” now whispers, “He will make you feel better.”
Conclusion: The Faith That Comes With Conditions
Across these stories, Cleveland, the Sistine Chapel, Nigeria, Georgetown, Rome itself, the pattern repeats. Every grace is conditional, every truth emotional, every miracle interpretive. The Mass is extended only if it promotes Vatican II; unity is celebrated only if it ignores doctrine; persecution is acknowledged only if it’s not too religious; and the Resurrection is preached only if it comforts rather than converts.
A faith so managed cannot convert the world because it no longer believes the world needs converting. The shepherds have become therapists, and the Gospel, a group session. But the empty tomb still waits outside their window, unmanageable, untamed, and gloriously true.
