Rather than argue the validity of information, i.e., Romana is real, Romana is fake, Romana is a distraction, Romana is a deep state op. etc., it would probably be more useful to provide information for our matrix rather than argue conclusions.
Romana (her real name?) is shown to be accompanied by Canadian General officers and it doesn't seem to be CGI. Are they deep state seeing what the people will accept? Are they White Hats protecting an actual leader of Canada? Who is she? Does she have any public history before announcing as Queen?

My first thought as well but it seems that there is more than one correct interpretation. There is a whole group that believe that the W relates to the day when the Securities case over crypto may be resolved. Lots of different takes.

Revealed: Credit Suisse leak unmasks criminals, fraudsters and corrupt politicians
What I found interesting was this: While some accounts in the data were open as far back as the 1940s, more than two-thirds were opened since 2000.
I've been involuntarily bounced from 7 banks over the years, keeping an "account" for nearly a century is interesting. Oh, yeah, and the rest is obscene but to be expected. We've gone over a lot on the Swiss, inversion Flag/Cross etc. the Godfather country got a bit of a hit on this one.
Leaked data on more than 18,000 accounts shows that the Swiss bank missed or ignored red flags.
A self-described whistle-blower leaked data on more than 18,000 bank accounts, collectively holding more than $100 billion, to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. The newspaper shared the data with a nonprofit journalism group, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, and 46 other news organizations around the world, including The New York Times.
The data covers accounts that were open from the 1940s until well into the 2010s but not the bank’s current operations.
Other account holders included sons of a Pakistani intelligence chief who helped funnel billions of dollars from the United States and other countries to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in the 1980s and Venezuelan officials ensnared in a long-running corruption scandal.
King Abdullah II of Jordan, one of the few officials in the leaks who remains in power, had six accounts, including one whose balance exceeded $224 million.
Senior intelligence officials and their offspring from several countries that cooperated with the United States in the war on terrorism also had money stashed at Credit Suisse.

I see so many posts every day on social media from people saying that they want to be free. All I can think to myself is, "No you don't. You want to be safe".
Founder Klaus Schwab on the history of the WEF and the 50th meeting in Davos: "I don't want to be exploited by Greta" (German language site, Interview from Jan 19, 2020)
(Goog translation)
I prefer to speak Swiss German. Although I am a German citizen who grew up in Ravensburg, we always spoke Swiss German at home. My Swiss mother was even summoned by the Gestapo in the fall of 1944 when I started school. She was supposed to explain why her son couldn't speak and understand High German properly.
Who was behind the organization? [Referring to the origin of WEF back in circa 1970, called "European Management Forum"]
I organized the first conference together with my future wife Hilde and an assistant with the support of my parents and a loan from an entrepreneur from the Black Forest. I had an agreement with him that if I couldn't repay the loan, I would have to join his management team. After the first symposium there was a small profit, I was able to set up a foundation and became a professor at the University of Geneva.
When and how did the WEF really succeed in making the world a better place?
I think there are three levels to be distinguished. First, where did we have an impact on public opinion? That was the case with the stakeholder concept. Of course I'm particularly pleased that after almost fifty years even the US Business Roundtable has practically adopted my concept from 1973. But we were certainly also influential in raising awareness of the concept of social entrepreneurship and the concept of the fourth industrial revolution.
And the second level?
Where did we have influence as a platform on the political level? This is not always public knowledge, but I'll give you three examples: We once brought the Turkish and Greek prime ministers together in Davos and were able to prevent an armed conflict over oil drilling, even though they had already partially mobilized. In 1990, probably the only meeting of the heads of all South African parties took place very secretly in my office here. After that Mandela was released from prison and in 1992 he performed in Davos together with de Klerk. And thirdly, Genscher wrote in his memoirs that he gave the most important speech of his life in Davos in 1987 when he said: "Let's give Gorbachev a chance." According to Genscher, that was the end of the Cold War.
The third level remains.
This applies to public-private partnerships. I am proud that the idea for the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization arose from a breakfast of Bill Gates, the World Health Organization and myself in Davos twenty years ago, just as the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan did with me in the small room at the Global Compact hatched and then presented in Davos. The Global Fund to fight AIDS and malaria was also created in Davos.
National banks have their committees, the economy has its associations and institutions, why is the WEF needed?
So that they work together effectively. And that works. By the end of the year we will have 20 Fourth Industrial Revolution Centers working together around the world.
The motto this year is "Stakeholders for a cohesive and sustainable world". Are we expecting a Greta WEF?
Greta is an impressive young woman, but I don't want to be exploited by Greta. We have now invited ten Gretas under the age of twenty, all of whom have a special concern. For example Ms. Melati, who started the whole Indonesian plastic policy. Incidentally, we ourselves are also one of the most sustainable conferences. While we have no control over whether participants arrive by private plane, we offset all CO2 emissions.
Her son Oliver also works on the management board of the WEF. Will this become a family business?
No, definitely not. My son could always work elsewhere. The forum is a foundation with clear corporate governance rules that has meanwhile been recognized as an international organization for public-private partnerships. This is intentional, because the forum has to make the transition from a donor-dominated to an institutionalized organization.

Nice connection of W to Dubya!
Hadn't thought of that.
Putin says Ukraine is a geopolitical fiction created by Stalin in the 1920s. "We're ready to show you what real decommunization is."
"The US and Nato have shamelessly turned Ukraine into a theater of potential military action against Russia," Putin says. "Ukraine's armed forces may well be commanded directly from Nato HQ."
"I've never said this before," Putin says, then reveals he asked Bill Clinton in Moscow in 2000 whether Russia could ever join Nato.
"Okay, you don't want us to be your friend. But why make us an enemy? There's only one answer," Putin says. "They just don't want there to be this big, self-sufficient, strong country called Russia. That's where all of American behavior comes from."
This documentary explores the 2013 US color revolution in Ukraine that led to the replacement of Ukraine’s democratically elected government with a coalition of neo-Nazi groups covertly supported CIA-funded foundations. Late investigative journalist Robert Parry appears in the film to describe his investigations into the role of the US Embassy; CIA-funded foundations like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID); George Soros’s Renaissance Foundation and the Dutch Embassy.
The film begins by exploring Hitler’s invasion of Ukraine in 1941. Western Ukraine welcomed the Nazis, as this liberated them from Soviet occupation. The OSS (which became the CIA in 1947) protected Ukraine’s Nazis (who had participated in genocidal terrorism against neighboring Poles and Ukrainian Jews) to ensure they never stood trial for war crimes at Nuremberg...........
Order-4 pentagonal tiling
In geometry, the order-4 pentagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of [5,4]. It can also be called a pentapentagonal tiling in a bicolored quasiregular form.
This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 5 mirrors meeting as edges of a regular pentagon. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *22222 with 5 order-2 mirror intersections.
