I listened to your stream this morning and I agree with it and think you're dead on the mark. In the beginning I wondered why de Brun was talking about a Pandemic, about Covid, about tests, about PCRs etc etc. I thought he was just making a mistake, but I commented a couple times under his posts and got no reply.

'"Gnome-like" describes something resembling a gnome, which can refer to a mythical creature or a person with certain characteristics.
