A manhunt is underway for a heavily armed Belgian soldier who holds right-wing views and is known to harbour an aversion to the heavily compromised COVID-19 vaccination programme.

As news of political and media corruption horrifies the locked-down Europeans there are ominous signs of armed resistance. Tonight, the elite are in a self-imposed lockdown wondering if they might be on the Rambo’s shit list.

Jurgen Conings, 46, went walkabout and disappeared off the radar on Tuesday, 18 May. His abandoned vehicle was found close to the Dutch border – with four rocket launchers inside it.

More than 400 state police officers and soldiers backed by helicopters have been scouring a nature reserve in Limburg province for Conings, a weapons instructor with the Belgian air force who commandeered guns and grenades from a military base.

His Twitter profile described himself as a ‘Belgian Air Force soldier who likes fitness, bodybuilding and boxing.’

Conings reportedly left behind letters that contained threats towards various politicians and virologist Marc Van Ranst, who has become a high-profile figure in Belgium since the pandemic hit the country in February 2020.

Belgium has had a claimed million cases of COVID-19 otherwise known as flu and almost 25,000 deaths allegedly.

Van Ranst has hate for Covid-19 conspirators and is well known to nationalist anti-migrant Flemish nationalists. In March 2016, after 35 people were killed by Islamist bombers in Brussels, Conings tweeted: ‘For years I have been saying this is coming. For years they have been laughing at me and saying that I am exaggerating, that I am a racist.’

The Belgian government said on Friday, 21 May, it would tighten vetting procedures on its soldiers. Conings was on a list of ‘extremists’ monitored by Belgium’s anti-terrorist agency, which begged the question of why he was allowed access to weapons.

Defence Minister Ludivine Dedonder promised to change the law to make it harder for military personnel to access weapons arsenals without higher levels of security clearance.

Ms Dedonder told broadcaster RTBF: ‘There was a failure in procedures.’ She said Conings had been disciplined and had a security clearance revoked  after he expressed racist views on social media and threatened violence to those pushing the vaccines.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo has promised to deliver an action plan next month on how to deal with suspected extremists (concerned anti-globalist) in the police, armed forces and customs service.
