humansarefree--2020-04-29--Bill Gates: His Elitist Family, How He Made His Fortune, and Why He Spends it on Depopulation

So you want to be a billionaire ?
Easy .
Just come from a well-connected , eugenics-obsessed elitist insider family @ @ @ @ @ scam your way to the top .
Getting rid of your billions in a way @ @ @ @ @ to depopulate the earth , however… now that ’ s the hard part .
Join @ @ @ @ @ the master of billionaire-fueled , eugenics-driven philanthropy of our times : Bill Gates .
Also @ @ @ @ @ The Biggest Depopulationist Alive

Growing up as I did, with an early interest in business, it was almost impossible not to envy people like Billy Boy, and even measure myself against them. Gates had placed all his chips on the table at one time and walked away richer than Croesus. And me? Well, I’d never even sat down at the table. The way I saw it, I couldn’t.
I graduated from a state university with a stack of loans to repay. No sooner had I begun to dig my way out of personal debt than I met my wife (who failed to bring her own shovel). I remember her father joking with me soon after we got engaged.
“Son,” he said, “I want to let you know about Lori’s dowry — you get her student loans and her bad teeth!” He laughed from deep in his chest. I moaned from the same spot. Add to that three children born within five years, and I felt like I was slogging through quicksand.
If only I was in a different position, I used to think. If only I had the courage to take on more risk, like Billy Boy, like lots of others I used to list to myself. And then finally, years later, I realized that that’s not how it happened at all.
William Henry Gates III was born October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, to a family with a rich history in business, politics, and community service. His great-grandfather had been a state legislator and mayor, his grandfather was the vice president of a national bank, and his father was a prominent and very wealthy lawyer [and the head of Planned Parenthood].
Because young Bill excelled from his earliest school days, especially in science and math, his parents saw that he was enrolled in prestigious Lakeside Prep, known for its intense academic environment.
This was in the late 1960s, when the world of computing was just beginning to peek over the horizon and carried a golden price tag. But no problem.
To assure Lakeside’s students wouldn’t be left behind, the school held a fund-raiser and, with the proceeds, rented what it thought would be a year’s worth of time on a computer owned by General Electric.
Billy Boy, his close friend Paul Allen, and a few others torpedoed that plan in a big hurry. They started hanging out in the computer room day and night, learning everything they could, even to the detriment of their other academic obligations.
Within a matter of weeks, the expected year’s worth of allotted computer time was gone, but that was no problem either. The school simply struck a new deal, this one with Seattle-based Computer Center Corporation, to get additional computer time at good rates.
That might have worked if young Gates and his friends hadn’t immediately started (a) hacking into CCC’s security system so they could reset the meter that tracked computer use and (b) crashing the system just for fun.
They were caught, and the company banned Gates and his cohorts from its computers for several weeks. (The thought of Gates and Allen as the godfathers of a hacking subculture that has cost Microsoft and the world overall hundreds of billions of dollars does indeed boggle the mind.) But again, the exile was only temporary.
CCC’s business was beginning to suffer from the system’s weak security and the frequency with which it crashed — many of the same flaws Gates and his friends had been exploiting — so the company offered the gang a deal: find the bugs and pinpoint the weaknesses in the system, and they could have unlimited use of the computer.
In 1970, Computer Center Corporation ran into financial trouble that would eventually put it out of business, but by then, Gates and Allen had found a new computer home at the University of Washington, where Allen’s father worked.
Lakeside also pitched in: during Gates’s junior year at the prep school, the administration offered him a job computerizing the scheduling system. Over the summer, Gates and Allen wrote the program, which coincidentally assured that Gates was assigned to classes with mostly girls—a sequence straight out of a nerd’s revenge movie.
In the fall of 1973, Gates left Seattle to begin his freshman year at Harvard, part of his preprogrammed life plan. Allen, who almost certainly could have been admitted to Harvard along with his pal, chose a different route.
He wanted hands-on experience, but the two remained in close contact, often discussing the potential of one day starting a company, and at the end of Gates’s first year at Harvard, Allen moved closer to Boston so they could continue to pursue the still-vague possibilities.
Then, in December of Gates’s sophomore year, the vague future began to take on a more exact face.
On a visit to Harvard, Allen stopped at a convenience store and noticed the current issue of Popular Electronics magazine. On the cover, under the title “World’s First Microcomputer Kit to Rival Commercial Models,” was a picture of the Altair 8800.
Energized as he had never been, Allen showed the magazine to Gates, and within a few days Gates had called the maker of the computer, Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS), and told them that he had written a BASIC computer program that could be used on the Altair.
This was a lie. Gates and Allen were just trying to gauge interest from the company. But MITS was deep in its own deception: the computer shown on the cover had not been developed yet, and even the prototype had been lost in shipping.
Still, the magazine article had generated interest far exceeding expectations, so MITS asked Gates and Allen to come in and demonstrate what they were thinking. Only then did the two set out to write the code. Gates focused on programming while Allen worked on simulating how it would work on an Altair 8800, which they didn’t have.
At the meeting eight weeks later, the program worked perfectly, and MITS arranged a deal to purchase the rights to Gates’s BASIC. Gates would later say that it was at this moment he knew the software market had been born.
Yet, despite his growing certainty of the opportunity in front of him, Billy Boy waited another 12 months, until his junior year, to drop out of school and, with Allen, form Micro-Soft. And even then, the company might have amounted to little more than a footnote in the history of software without Billy Boy’s mother.
Long active in community service in the Seattle area, Mary Maxwell Gates became the first female president of the United Way of King County and eventually chair of the executive committee of the national United Way, then one of the most influential nonprofit positions in the world.

Serving on the exec committee with her back in the early seventies were, among others, John Akers, who would later become the CEO and chairman of International Business Machines (IBM), and John Opel, who preceded Akers in both positions.
Mary Gates mentioned her son’s new business to Opel, who by many accounts then relayed this information to other top IBM executives. There’s no definitive record of what got said when to whom, but only a few weeks after Mary Gates got the ball rolling, IBM took a huge chance by contracting with Billy Boy’s fledgling company to develop an operating system for the company’s first personal computer.
The success of both the IBM PC and the Microsoft Disc Operating System (or MS-DOS) — and the sweetheart deal that let Microsoft retain rights to its software — is what ultimately made Billy Boy the richest man on the planet.
Experience, Not Faith
So, did Billy Boy walk away from one of the world’s most coveted degrees toward an uncertain path? Well, he did ultimately make decisions from which there would be no turning back. That part of the myth is dead on. But was Gates a great risk taker? That’s a more complicated story.
His family’s money and position provided cover for his youthful computing hijinks and helped assure that he would have the best education available. As for the famous Harvard dropout story, he didn’t really.
Rather, he took a formal “leave of absence,” a kind of emotional umbilical cord that kept him tied to Harvard long after he had vacated the campus, just in case things didn’t work out. But by then, he had already turned the odds in his favor.
After half a decade of dancing with the opportunity, beginning early in high school, he had already covered most of his downside risks. He knew, for example, that he loved the work, and the early Micro-Soft had projects in the pipeline.
What’s more, Gates had validation that both he and Allen were highly competent with this new technology, and he could see that the topside potential was huge.
The industry was just emerging, and his mother was in the particularly influential position of head of a United Way executive committee that also included two future CEOs of the world’s dominant computer company.
As they say, it’s often not what you know but who your mother knows that can land you billion-dollar contracts.

humansarefree--2020-04-29--Predictions: What Will Happen Next in the Corona Crisis?

Sometimes it isn ’ t all that hard to predict the future .
All we have to do is listen to what the social engineers are telling us they ’ re going to do .
For example , when the neocons tell us that we need a “ new Pearl Harbor ” to justify a transformation of America ’ s military , we can bet a new Pearl Harbor is going to arrive as soon as they get into office .
And now , after years of Bill Gates warning us that a pandemic was going to strike and utterly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , here we are .
He even went so far as to “ simulate ” the exact scenario we ’ re living through just before we started living through it .
So , you see my point .
Sometimes seeing what ’ s coming next is just a question of listening to what the planners are telling us .
Keeping that in mind , let ’ s look at four predictions for how the coronavirus crisis is likely to proceed from here .
1 .
The “ Second Wave ” Will Be Blamed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wave of Covid-19 coming in the next few months .
We don ’ t have to speculate about this .
Not only have we heard this from all manner of politicians and health “ authorities ” over the past few months , but it was an integral part of MIT Technology Review ’ s now-infamous “ We ’ re not going back to normal ” article , which revealed how the waves of lockdown and release were going to restructure our lives and condition us into the Corona World Order .
And , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is an important part of the plandemic narrative , Bill Gates just reaffirmed it in his latest “ GatesNotes ” on “ The first modern pandemic.
” In fact , the pandemic planners have warned the public of a second ( and third and fourth and fifth .
.
. )
wave of this crisis so many times now that we can virtually guarantee that such a “ second wave ” will occur .
Now , such a second wave of sickness could actually occur , if only because — as Dr. Dan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ —people emerging from their lockdown isolation will have lowered immune systems and thus be more susceptible to pathogens of all kinds .
But this dreaded “ second wave ” doesn ’ t even have to take place in reality ; the statistical chicanery of the fraudsters can always be relied on to conjure up the impression of a fresh round of infections in the minds of the public .
Heck , if the Japanese government can magically conjure a “ surge ” of SARS-CoV-2 infections into existence the very same day they announced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precisely as I predicted ) , you better believe governments around the world can deliver on the “ second wave ” narrative regardless of how many people may or may not be ill.
Here ’ s the rub : Whatever happens , the plandemic agenda-pushers are going to blame this second wave on those evil , dastardly protesters who complained about being put under house arrest .
You know , those horrible , heartless grandma-killers who dared to oppose the orders to shutter the business they ’ ve spent their entire lifetime building @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who refused to meekly accept their sudden , enforced unemployment .
We can see the outlines of this narrative already being planted in the type of coverage surrounding the growing lockdown protest movement .
It ’ s those stupid , ignorant yokels out there shouting “ open Fuddruckers ” who are putting the lives of those valiant medical heroes on the line by daring to exercise their right to peacefully assemble and demand a redress of their grievances !
So when things are opened up eventually ( even just a little bit ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wave ” is going to hit full force .
.
.
at least in the media .
And every single death in the daily death tally is going to be blamed on people who complained about their house imprisonment and forced unemployment .
2 .
The Alt Media Are Being Given the Rope to Hang Themselves This next prediction is based on some observations : About a year ago , YouTube instituted a new system for displaying subscriber counts that corresponded with a flatlining in new subscribers for many alt media channels ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time , they began implementing changes to the recommendation algorithm , ensuring that “ harmful content ” ( read : alt media ) would not be recommended to viewers nearly as often .
Around the time that the corona crisis really began to kick off six weeks ago , these restrictions seem to have been lifted , with my own channel ’ s subscriber count surging and my work being routinely recommended by the YouTube algorithm .
Now , I have no insider information about any of these changes .
I can only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and some of the other alt media figures I ’ ve talked to ) can confirm from my own experience .
But there is no doubt in my mind that some of the filters that were artificially suppressing my channel and alt media content in general have been removed .
If only .
No , I believe that what we are seeing is actually a push by YouTube and other tech companies to ensure widespread promotion of certain views questioning the official Covid-19 narrative precisely so that they will have the excuse to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably during that second ( or third or fourth or fifth .
.
. )
wave of the crisis .
My theory is that we are being set up for a “ deadly second wave ” not only in the “ viral pandemic ” narrative , but also in the “ deadly infodemic ” narrative , and this sudden “ flowering ” of online conspiracy theorizing is going to be used as an excuse for purging any and all information that does not comport with the official government narrative of the pandemic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ false flag : push all sorts of “ conspiracy ” content—from the well-grounded to the utterly outrageous — so that it is a very visible presence in people ’ s online experience of this crisis .
Then , as the pain deepens and things go south , the conspiracy theorists can be blamed ( much like the lockdown protesters ) for having muddied the waters with “ misinformation.
” We ’ re already seeing the beginning of this narrative playing out .
The social media giants have committed to “ combating fraud and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CEO Susan Wojcicki has just outlinedexactly what they mean by “ fraud and misinformation ” —namely , anything that challenges the pronouncements of the World Health Organization .
Personally , I ’ m going to take advantage of this brief window of opportunity to reach as many new people as I possibly can , but I ’ m under no delusion that the promotion of truth-related information on the controlled Big Tech social media platforms will continue for very long .
As I predicted back in New World Next Year 2020 , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the internet as we ’ ve known it ends for good .
Isn ’ t it funny how just a few weeks ago it was a verboten thoughtcrime to suggest that this novel coronavirus could have anything whatsoever to do with the biosafety level 4 laboratory in Wuhan , and now such theories are mainstream headline fodder ?
Why do you think that is ?
I ’ ll tell you why : It ’ s because this is World War III .
If that assertion sounds familiar , that ’ s because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these pages last month .
I know you ’ ve heard me say it before , but it bears repeating : Historians of a future age may just mark the great “ coronavirus crisis ” of 2020 as the first salvo in the Third World War .
As I ’ ve also said before , those historians would be wrong .
At least , assuming they are writing about the surface-level 2D-chess version of “ WWIII , ” the one involving “ China ” vs the “ US.
” As I laid out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ War III is already underway and it ’ s a war on free humanity by the oligarchs who seek to rule over us .
But one can rest assured that if and when those oligarchs decide to truly plunge the world into chaos and let slip the dogs of war , the mis-leaders will use a “ coronavirus-was-made-in-a-lab ” narrative to justify that war .
The war of words is already underway .
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian has raised the possibility that the US Army brought the virus to Wuhan during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In return , Senator Tom Cotton is suggesting that the virus is a leaked Chinese bioweapon , a claim that is now being doggedly pursued in certain parts of the American mockingbird media .
Now , a number of lawsuits are proceeding on the theory that this is a Chinese biological weapon and that the Chinese government should be held liable for all damages caused by Covid-19 and the ensuing shutdown of the global economy ( a cool $ 20 trillion in one suit ’ s estimation ) .
Naturally , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or would be able to ) fork over $ 20 trillion on a US judge ’ s order , but if such a ruling were ever made , one can bet that it would add significantly to the case of the China hawks dwelling in Trump ’ s swamp .
For the millionth time , let me hasten to add that any such China-US war that develops will be a contrived and manipulated conflict , much like the contrived and manipulated Soviet-US conflict of the 20th century .
But the lives lost in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real .
Make no mistake , we have not heard the last of the squabble between Beijing and Washington over who is to blame for this mess .
4 .
The Real Bioweapons Are Waiting in the Wings Speaking of bioweapons , let us not rule out the possibility that we are dealing with a bioweapon of some sort .
In fact , there are compelling reasons to believe that , and the knee-jerk dismissal of the idea from the usual crowd is easily debunkable as unscientific claptrap .
Yet another interesting clue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the work of Li Lanjuan at Zhejiang University , who is now reporting the discovery of 30 separate strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus .
Some of these strains , including the one prevalent in parts of Europe and in New York City , are capable of producing 270 times the viral load of the weaker strains .
The research also uncovered an unusual development in one of the patients studied : “ The researchers also found three consecutive changes — known as tri-nucleotide mutations — in a 60-year-old patient , which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mutated at one site at a time .
This patient spent more than 50 days in hospital , much longer than other Covid-19 patients , and even his faeces were infectious with living viral strains.
” Take this research — along with everything else we ’ re hearing about this virus — with a hefty grain of salt .
But , if true , it certainly could add more weight to the theory that we are not dealing with a naturally occurring virus .
Whatever the case , we know that every major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money developing biological weapons of various sorts .
Officially , these biological weapons programs are always done under the pretense that they are for “ defensive ” purposes .
After all , if we don ’ t develop these weapons then how will we ever be able to defend ourselves against them .
.
.
you know , if the enemy also develops them ?
( Don ’ t think about it too hard . )
Of course , Corbett Report listeners know better .
The truth is that biological warfare programs are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The fact that the anthrax that terrorized America in the fall of 2001 came from Fort Detrick is just one indication that these programs exist .
Heck , the Project For A New American Century even put race-specific bioweapons on their wishlist in the “ Rebuilding America ’ s Defenses ” document ( see page 60 ) .
The sad truth is that the possibility of a bioweapon being released — and , inevitably , used in a bioterror false flag event to blame on an enemy—has always been there .
But now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age of terror ” into the “ age of bioterror , ” that possibility has become orders of magnitude more likely .
So , on that note , I leave you with this bone-chilling observation : Remember that latest “ GatesNotes ” that I mentioned way back up in Prediction # 1 ?
You know , “ The first modern pandemic “ ?
Well , here ’ s how Bill “ Pandemic Planner ” Gates talks about this current crisis in his conclusion : “ Melinda and I grew up learning that World @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our parents ’ generation .
In a similar way , the COVID-19 pandemic — the first modern pandemic — will define this era .
No one who lives through Pandemic I will ever forget it .
And it is impossible to overstate the pain that people are feeling now and will continue to feel for years to come.
” Yes , not only does he liken this “ fight ” against the “ invisible enemy ” to World War II — as every politician and pundit seems to be doing these days — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to call this Pandemic I .
Yes , “ Pandemic I.
” As in part one .
The obvious implication here is that , just like World War I was followed by World War II , so , too , will Pandemic I be followed by Pandemic II .
Kind of makes you wonder what else he has up his sleeve , doesn ’ t it ?

Sometimes it isn’t all that hard to predict the future. All we have to do is listen to what the social engineers are telling us they’re going to do.
For example, when the neocons tell us that we need a “new Pearl Harbor” to justify a transformation of America’s military, we can bet a new Pearl Harbor is going to arrive as soon as they get into office.
And now, after years of Billy Boy warning us that a pandemic was going to strike and utterly transform the world as we know it, here we are. He even went so far as to “simulate” the exact scenario we’re living through just before we started living through it.
So, you see my point. Sometimes seeing what’s coming next is just a question of listening to what the planners are telling us. Keeping that in mind, let’s look at four predictions for how the coronavirus crisis is likely to proceed from here.
1. The “Second Wave” Will Be Blamed on the Protesters
There is a second wave of Covid-19 coming in the next few months. We don’t have to speculate about this. Not only have we heard this from all manner of politicians and health “authorities” over the past few months, but it was an integral part of MIT Technology Review’s now-infamous “We’re not going back to normal” article, which revealed how the waves of lockdown and release were going to restructure our lives and condition us into the Corona World Order.

Heck, if the Japanese government can magically conjure a “surge” of SARS-CoV-2 infections into existence the very same day they announced the postponement of the 2020 Olympics (precisely as I predicted), you better believe governments around the world can deliver on the “second wave” narrative regardless of how many people may or may not be ill.
Here’s the rub: Whatever happens, the plandemic agenda-pushers are going to blame this second wave on those evil, dastardly protesters who complained about being put under house arrest.
You know, those horrible, heartless grandma-killers who dared to oppose the orders to shutter the business they’ve spent their entire lifetime building up and those detestable, disgusting disease-spreaders who refused to meekly accept their sudden, enforced unemployment.
We can see the outlines of this narrative already being planted in the type of coverage surrounding the growing lockdown protest movement. It’s those stupid, ignorant yokels out there shouting “open Fuddruckers” who are putting the lives of those valiant medical heroes on the line by daring to exercise their right to peacefully assemble and demand a redress of their grievances!

This next prediction is based on some observations:

Around the same time, they began implementing changes to the recommendation algorithm, ensuring that “harmful content” (read: alt media) would not be recommended to viewers nearly as often.
Around the time that the corona crisis really began to kick off six weeks ago, these restrictions seem to have been lifted, with my own channel’s subscriber count surging and my work being routinely recommended by the YouTube algorithm.

I can only work with the observations that I (and some of the other alt media figures I’ve talked to) can confirm from my own experience. But there is no doubt in my mind that some of the filters that were artificially suppressing my channel and alt media content in general have been removed.
Yay! Score one for alt media truth, hey?
If only. No, I believe that what we are seeing is actually a push by YouTube and other tech companies to ensure widespread promotion of certain views questioning the official Covid-19 narrative precisely so that they will have the excuse to move ahead with the online purge, probably during that second (or third or fourth or fifth . . .) wave of the crisis.
My theory is that we are being set up for a “deadly second wave” not only in the “viral pandemic” narrative, but also in the “deadly infodemic” narrative, and this sudden “flowering” of online conspiracy theorizing is going to be used as an excuse for purging any and all information that does not comport with the official government narrative of the pandemic.
Think of it as an information warfare false flag: push all sorts of “conspiracy” content—from the well-grounded to the utterly outrageous — so that it is a very visible presence in people’s online experience of this crisis. Then, as the pain deepens and things go south, the conspiracy theorists can be blamed (much like the lockdown protesters) for having muddied the waters with “misinformation.”
We’re already seeing the beginning of this narrative playing out. The social media giants have committed to “combating fraud and misinformation” regarding Covid-19, and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has just outlinedexactly what they mean by “fraud and misinformation”—namely, anything that challenges the pronouncements of the World Health Organization.

FBI agents in hazmat suits , equipped with respirators , raided a medical clinic last week after a doctor reportedly gave high dose vitamin C to essential workers who may be exposed to COVID-19 .
“ At Allure Medical we are offering high dose , intravenous , vitamin C to all essential workers who are exposed to COVID-19 , ” Dr. Charles Mok of the Allure Medical Spa said in an un-aired local media spot earlier this month .

On Thursday, the FBI, along with the Department of Health and Human Services-raided Allure Medical Spa on 26 Mile Road and Van Dyke in Shelby Township, just before 8 a.m., according to FOX 2.
“Allegations that the clinic provided fraudulent treatments for COVID-19 and that the clinic did not observe proper protocols to protect patients and staff from the virus,” said Mara Schneider, FBI spokesperson.
Though no arrests have been made, the FBI said they are looking at evidence to find out more information about the vitamin C treatments.
“This is not a typical evidence response team search,” Schneider said.
“We would not normally do what ends up being more of a document heavy search. But because of the concerns that we don’t know what we’re walking into, we have our specialty teams here with the appropriate personal protective equipment.”
To be clear, Dr. Mok was not trying to hide the vitamin C IV services. He was openly advocating for them on local media, noted they were accepting insurance for them, and even offered them for free to essential workers.

A doctor affiliated with Allure, but who wanted to remain anonymous, told FOX 2 that “vitamin C infusion, is a common practice in the US because it boosts the immune system.”
FOX 2 reports that it has been given repeatedly to Covid-19 patients in intensive care settings to help reduce the symptoms of Covid-19 on a daily basis.
This doctor said that Dr. Mok is “ahead of the curve in this type of treatment and has always put the patient’s health first, often treating them for free.”
It does not appear that the FBI received a complaint over the treatment and they may have initiated the raid simply because the doctor was giving willing people vitamin C. Customers also told FOX 2 they appreciate what the clinic does.

humansarefree--2020-04-29--If Face Masks Are Mandatory, Then It’s Time to End Mask Patents

President Trump is convening with governors to reopen the economy , which will likely mean some sort of compulsory face mask order .
Now is the time to seriously consider scrapping the patents on masks such as the N95 .
Government at all levels has severely overreacted to the COVID-19 pandemic , but at long last there is political will to at least pretend as though there should be some return to normalcy .
That , of course , doesn ’ t mean partisan politics is being set aside .
The governors of Connecticut , Delaware , New Jersey , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Island , all Democrats , have announced that they are forming a “ regional advisory council ” to come up with a plan to reopen their economies .
The same thing is being tried by West Coast Democratic governors in California , Oregon , and Washington .
However , the ultimate action taken will be a centralized one , Trump assures us , tweeting , “ a decision…will be made shortly !
” The clampdown on economic and civil liberties will be restructured , almost certainly with more relief to the former than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any new national or regional policy will adopt is the condition that increased commerce requires mandatory mask wearing .
New York governor Andrew Cuomo , who polls evenly with Joe Biden as Democrats ’ top presidential pick , has ordered employers of operating businesses to supply employees with masks .
Such a policy across the nation would have to look more like how Los Angeles is doing it , sacrificing quality for quantity in masks .
There , shoppers must don face coverings in order to enter stores , but pulling a shirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If masks are so important to public health , as some studies and Asian countries indicate , then the government ought to knock down every obstacle in the way of people buying and selling the best masks possible .
Patent law would be a good place to start .
Deterring innovation , it puts manufacturers at risk of litigation if they produce face masks that infringe on one of more than one thousand US patents that cover the N95 , 3M ’ s medical mask and the most prized respirator on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t want to be the jerk saying people shouldn ’ t do things to save people ’ s lives , ” but potential contractors “ should have eyes wide open , ” Washington lawyer Ranga Sudarshan of Covington & Burling , who argues intellectual property cases in the US Court of Federal Claims , told IndustryWeek .
Even as 3M admits that it can ’ t supply enough N95 masks at the current demand , the company has yet to release its patents royalty-free , even temporarily , to other market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stands behind the force of government to protect its monopoly .
As Rothbard wrote in Man , Economy , and State , “ Patents prevent a man from using his invention even though all the property is his and he has not stolen the invention , either explicitly or implicitly , from the first inventor .
Patents , therefore , are grants of exclusive monopoly privilege by the State and are invasive of property rights on the market.
” Federal law may ostensibly protect against patent “ hoarding ” when it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be produced for its purposes , but patent owners still can reap royalty payments from the contractors , according to IndustryWeek .
Now , removing the patent or its protections , just for a time , may not even be considered by those who put politics first .

Such welcome changes offer unaccountable bureaucracies to save face .
Undoing patents is far too costly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the market .
Consumers might begin to wonder , as did the late legal theorist Butler Shaffer , “ Were Leonardo ’ s or Gutenberg ’ s inventions , or the Egyptian pyramids , or the Roman aqueducts , rewarded by state-issued patents ?

President Trump is convening with governors to reopen the economy, which will likely mean some sort of compulsory face mask order. Now is the time to seriously consider scrapping the patents on masks such as the N95.
Government at all levels has severely overreacted to the COVID-19 pandemic, but at long last there is political will to at least pretend as though there should be some return to normalcy. That, of course, doesn’t mean partisan politics is being set aside.
The governors of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, all Democrats, have announced that they are forming a “regional advisory council” to come up with a plan to reopen their economies. The same thing is being tried by West Coast Democratic governors in California, Oregon, and Washington.
However, the ultimate action taken will be a centralized one, Trump assures us, tweeting, “a decision…will be made shortly!”
The clampdown on economic and civil liberties will be restructured, almost certainly with more relief to the former than the latter. One likely compromise that any new national or regional policy will adopt is the condition that increased commerce requires mandatory mask wearing.
New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who polls evenly with Joe Biden as Democrats’ top presidential pick, has ordered employers of operating businesses to supply employees with masks.
Such a policy across the nation would have to look more like how Los Angeles is doing it, sacrificing quality for quantity in masks. There, shoppers must don face coverings in order to enter stores, but pulling a shirt up over the mouth and nose suffices.
If masks are so important to public health, as some studies and Asian countries indicate, then the government ought to knock down every obstacle in the way of people buying and selling the best masks possible.
Patent law would be a good place to start.
Deterring innovation, it puts manufacturers at risk of litigation if they produce face masks that infringe on one of more than one thousand US patents that cover the N95, 3M’s medical mask and the most prized respirator on the market, IndustryWeek reported.
“I don’t want to be the jerk saying people shouldn’t do things to save people’s lives,” but potential contractors “should have eyes wide open,” Washington lawyer Ranga Sudarshan of Covington & Burling, who argues intellectual property cases in the US Court of Federal Claims, told IndustryWeek.
Even as 3M admits that it can’t supply enough N95 masks at the current demand, the company has yet to release its patents royalty-free, even temporarily, to other market producers. Effectively, the multinational conglomerate stands behind the force of government to protect its monopoly.
As Rothbard wrote in Man, Economy, and State,
“Patents prevent a man from using his invention even though all the property is his and he has not stolen the invention, either explicitly or implicitly, from the first inventor. Patents, therefore, are grants of exclusive monopoly privilege by the State and are invasive of property rights on the market.”
Federal law may ostensibly protect against patent “hoarding” when it’s the government demanding that a protected item be produced for its purposes, but patent owners still can reap royalty payments from the contractors, according to IndustryWeek.
Now, removing the patent or its protections, just for a time, may not even be considered by those who put politics first.
It’s one thing when the TSA rolls back its ban on large bottles of hand sanitizer, or when governors relax border restrictions on nursing licenses. Such welcome changes offer unaccountable bureaucracies to save face.
Undoing patents is far too costly to those benefiting from monopolistic control on the market.
Consumers might begin to wonder, as did the late legal theorist Butler Shaffer, “Were Leonardo’s or Gutenberg’s inventions, or the Egyptian pyramids, or the Roman aqueducts, rewarded by state-issued patents?”
Are patents as we know them, government issued, necessary at all?
Shaffer noted,
“Patents and copyrights inhibit the creative process by discouraging the exchange of information,” adding that the patenting process is so prohibitively costly that it leaves the little inventor at the mercy of the big corporation, which will keep the patent power in exchange for the invention.
It is unknowable how much further 3M or another innovator may have taken the N95 idea were it not for the patent monopoly.
As intellectual property expert Stephan Kinsella puts it,
“It is possible that companies would have an even greater incentive to innovate if they could not rely on a near twenty-year monopoly.”
In the meantime, seamsters are turning to GoFundMe to support their homemade mask donations, such as these or these. Crafty hobby sites such as SewCanShe.com and FaveCrafts.com are providing free DIY guidelines that will come in handy for those unable to find good masks in stores.
Entrepreneurship remains alive and well in America, but as demand grows or government mandates expand, the patent monopoly will inhibit what public policy ostensibly seeks: a healthy people and a healthy economy.

humansarefree--2020-04-30--Did President Eisenhower Meet With Aliens at Holloman Air Force Base?

In 1953 , President Harry Truman gave up the oval office and passed the reins of power to his successor , President Dwight D. Eisenhower ( Ike ) .
It appears that Truman also gave Ike a pretty hefty file concerning a top-secret project called Majestic 12 that Truman established .
Majestic 12 consisted of a group of scientists , military personnel and other governmental professionals who all worked together to understand and communicate with UFOs and extraterrestrials ( ETs ) .
President Eisenhower was extremely interested in UFOs and ETs : there is that he met with ETs secretly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Edwards Air Force Base ( AFB ) in California and twice at Holloman AFB in New Mexico .
Since the Eisenhower meetings , other instances of UFOs landing at or near Holloman AFB have been reported .
President Eisenhower , who had been a five-star Army general , always had a “ strong belief in life on other planets.
” In February 1954 , he was spending several days in Palm Springs On Vacation .
He disappeared for several hours one Saturday afternoon and even missed a scheduled public dinner .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following morning .
The press questioned Ike ’ s whereabouts , so the White House Press Secretary told them that Ike had chipped a tooth and gone to see a dentist .
Even at that time , rumors were that he was visiting ETs at nearby Edwards AFB .
The dentist ’ s story falls apart upon close inspection .
Washington Post Staff Writer , Peter Carlson , denies the story of the chipped tooth and calls it a cover-up .
There Was No Dentist Visit The Eisenhower Presidential Library has detailed reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dental records .
There is no reference to a broken or chipped tooth or dentist visit related to the Palm Springs visit .
The Library also has copies of acknowledgments that were sent to everyone Eisenhower had contact with while in Palm Springs .
There were records of people who met the airplane , people who sent flowers , the minister who gave the sermon at the Sunday service he attended , and others who played minor roles .
But there is no proof of a note sent to a dentist .
Years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said she had no recollection of ever being told by her husband that he had done dental work on the President .
Corroborating Evidence of the ET Visit William Cooper , who was on the Naval Intelligence briefing team and had access to classified documents , is a credible witness .
His Review Of Those Documents revealed that ETs had had contact with Earth .
They had warned that the Earth was “ on a path of self-destruction ” and they wanted to meet to help effectuate a long-lasting peace .
The first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occurred at Edwards AFB in February 1954 .
Navy Commander Charles L. Suggs reported that his father had attended the meeting between Ike and the ETS .
Eisenhower met with two Nordic appearings , blue-eyed ETs .
A third one stood near the door as a lookout .
The discussions were polite .
Eisenhower wanted to effectuate a treaty with the aliens but was unwilling to agree to their demand that we cease testing nuclear weapons .
The aliens left with no treaty in place but returned the next year to Holloman AFB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the famous Roswell alien aircraft crash site , for a subsequent meeting with Eisenhower .
There is a corroborating Story to the ET meeting with Ike at Edwards AFB .
The accuracy of the story is difficult to confirm .
A man named Gerald Light Wrote A Letter in April 1954 claiming to have been an eyewitness to the Edwards AFB meeting between Eisenhower and ETs .
Light provided details such as watching Air Force officials studying five aircraft with the permission of their alien owners !
Some question the credibility of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known to have a love of the occult and claimed to be clairvoyant , but others like Meade Layne , the former director of Borderland Sciences Research Foundation , confirms and believes Light did know first-hand what occurred .
There were Several Eyewitness Reports of a second meeting between Ike and ETs at Holloman AFB in New Mexico , which is only about 120 miles from the well-known Roswell incident .
The reports are more detailed than the ones provided for the Edwards AFB meeting .
In February 1955 , approximately 300 people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AFB and taxi back out to the end of the runway .
Shortly after the plane landed , the pilot instructed the tower to turn off all radar while the president ’ s plane was on the tarmac .
Shortly after Air Force One landed , and the radar was turned off , three , round objects were seen in the sky .
One landed about 200 feet in front of Air Force One , another hovered over the area as though keeping watch , and a third one disappeared from visibility .

He was seen shaking hands with a being at the door of the saucer , then entering the unusual saucer-shaped aircraft .
Ike was in the saucer for about 45 minutes .
When he left , he was not wearing a hat and was clearly visible to many observers .
All witnesses recognized him as President Eisenhower .
The respected author and former pentagon consultant , Timothy Good , came forward in 2012 to talk about Ike ’ s meetings with ETs .
Good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The upshot is that these particular extraterrestrials , like many others ETs , apparently wanted peace .
They were trying to negotiate some sort of positive settlement for Earth ’ s problems .
Evidence indicates that they wanted the U.S. To Discontinue Testing Nuclear Weapons .
At first , they apparently wanted the public to be told the truth about their existence .
In the final treaty , they seemingly had changed their minds and wanted to remain secret .
Ultimately , Eisenhower Signed A Treaty with an alien race called Alien Grays @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported to have been : • We would not be involved in their affairs and they would not become involved in ours • They would help us with developing our technology • They would not make a treaty with any other nation on Earth • They could abduct humans for various experiments , but had to provide names of all those they abducted to • The public would not be informed about the existence of ETs .

Three humanoids with blue-gray complexions , dressed in tight-fitting flight suits , were met by the Air Force base commander and four other officers .

What was discussed in the meetings is still a mystery… It is also still a mystery as to why so many people could have been involved in the meetings and , to date , so few people have broken their silence .

1955 Eisenhower ET Meeting at Holloman AFB
There were Several Eyewitness Reports of a second meeting between Ike and ETs at Holloman AFB in New Mexico, which is only about 120 miles from the well-known Roswell incident.
The reports are more detailed than the ones provided for the Edwards AFB meeting.
In February 1955, approximately 300 people saw Air Force One land at Holloman AFB and taxi back out to the end of the runway.
Shortly after the plane landed, the pilot instructed the tower to turn off all radar while the president’s plane was on the tarmac.
Shortly after Air Force One landed, and the radar was turned off, three, round objects were seen in the sky.
One landed about 200 feet in front of Air Force One, another hovered over the area as though keeping watch, and a third one disappeared from visibility.
A man, presumed to be Eisenhower, descended the steps of Air Force One.
He was seen shaking hands with a being at the door of the saucer, then entering the unusual saucer-shaped aircraft. Ike was in the saucer for about 45 minutes.
When he left, he was not wearing a hat and was clearly visible to many observers. All witnesses recognized him as President Eisenhower.
The respected author and former pentagon consultant, Timothy Good, came forward in 2012 to talk about Ike’s meetings with ETs. Good discussed the purpose of those meetings.
The upshot is that these particular extraterrestrials, like many others ETs, apparently wanted peace. They were trying to negotiate some sort of positive settlement for Earth’s problems.
Evidence indicates that they wanted the U.S. To Discontinue Testing Nuclear Weapons. At first, they apparently wanted the public to be told the truth about their existence.
In the final treaty, they seemingly had changed their minds and wanted to remain secret.
Ultimately, Eisenhower Signed A Treaty with an alien race called Alien Grays. The terms of the Treaty are reported to have been:
We would not be involved in their affairs and they would not become involved in ours
They would help us with developing our technology
They would not make a treaty with any other nation on Earth
They could abduct humans for various experiments, but had to provide names of all those they abducted to
Earth’s Majestic 12 committee
The public would not be informed about the existence of ETs.
UFO Landings at Holloman AFB
In 1964, Three UFOs Flew Into The Air Space At Holloman AFB. They were tracked on radar and actually Captured On Film. One seemed to wobble and eventually landed at the AFB.
Three humanoids with blue-gray complexions, dressed in tight-fitting flight suits, were met by the Air Force base commander and four other officers.
The aliens stayed for several days and their aircraft was purportedly repaired. What was discussed in the meetings is still a mystery…
It is also still a mystery as to why so many people could have been involved in the meetings and, to date, so few people have broken their silence.
Through the years, there have been more reports of UFO landings at Holloman AFB. Documentaries have mentioned Holloman AFB as the site of alien landings.
A Documentary Narrated By The Legendary Rod Serling, “UFOs: Past, Present, and Future,” was produced in 1974.
It has a segment on UFO landings at Holloman AFB and the 1955 meeting with Eisenhower. The documentary was nominated for a Golden Globe award as the best documentary of the year.
A later documentary, released in 1976, “UFO: It Has Begun,” also referenced Holloman AFB and the landings that have occurred there.

America ’ s Billionaires Have Accrued More Wealth in the Past Three Weeks Alone than They Made in Total Prior to 1980 .
A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies found that , while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic , America ’ s ultra-wealthy elite have seen their net worth surge by $ 282 billion in just 23 days .

Killed By The Coronavirus Lockdowns: 1000s Of U.S. Businesses That Were Shut Down Will Be Closed Permanently
The Institute for Policy Studies’ report paints a picture of a modern day oligarchy, where the super-rich have captured legislative and executive power, controlling what laws are passed.
The report discusses what it labels a new “wealth defense industry” – where “billionaires are paying millions to dodge billions in taxes,” with teams of accountants, lawyers, lobbyists and asset managers helping them conceal their vast fortunes in tax havens and so-called charitable trusts.
The result has been crippled social programs and a decrease in living standards and even a sustained drop in life expectancy – something rarely seen in history outside of major wars or famines.

The spike in billionaire wealth comes amid an unprecedented economic crash; 26.5 million Americans have filed for unemployment over the last five weeks, and that number is expected to continue to rise dramatically.
While the super-rich are holed up in their mansions and yachts, the 49-62 million Americans designated as “essential workers” must continue to risk their lives to keep society functioning, even as many of them do not even earn as much as the $600 weekly increase in unemployment benefits the CARES act stipulates.
Many low paid workers, such as grocery store employees, have already fallen sick and died. The mother of one 27-year-old Maryland worker who contracted COVID-19 and died received her daughter’s last paycheck. It amounted to $20.64.
Amazon staff, directly employed by Bezos, also risk their lives for measly pay. One third of all Amazon workers in Arizona, for example, are enrolled in the food stamps program, their wages so low that they cannot afford to pay for food.
The vast contrast in the effect that COVID-19 has had on the super wealthy versus the rest of us has many concluding that billionaires’ wealth and the poverty of the rest of the world are two sides of the same coin: that the reason people working full-time still cannot afford a house or even to eat is the same reason people like Bezos control more wealth than many countries.
Bezos’ solution to his employees’ hunger has been to set up a charity and ask for public donations to help his desperate workers.
The majority of millennials, most of them shut out from attaining the American dream, already prefer socialism to capitalism, taking a dim view of the latter.

Taiwan had bad experiences from the 2003 SARS (another coronavirus) outbreak in China, and as a result their hospitals were well supplied with equipment to handle any outbreaks.
This SARS situation had reportedly taught them to have a healthy distrust in China and the World Health Organization to accurately report facts, and to have their own plan in place for future outbreaks.
But unlike the U.S. and many other countries, Taiwan did not quarantine the entire nation.
They focused on quarantining travelers coming in from abroad in their own homes, while the rest of the nation went about their business, with some restrictions in place such as wearing face masks, and practicing social distancing.
It is hard to argue with their reported results so far, with so few actual cases and very few deaths. They kept the country open, and did not destroy their economy.
John Ransom, reporting for TownHall Finance writes:
Protests in the streets, oil trading at negative numbers, rapidly spiraling unemployment, locked-down international travel and trade: I think we can all agree that by any barometer, including these, the world has failed the Wuhan flu test.
Why the world’s answer to the China flu has been so disastrously wrong, ill-thought out and ignorant to reality can be left to future post-mortems. But after spending literally trillions on public health over the decades to prevent just such an occurrence, it’s clear by now that the world’s investment in public health professionals was wasted.
We can debate whether the cost was worth it, but there is no denying that the cost has been beyond anyone’s imagining.
Some may argue that in such a crisis, experts faced a no-win situation where they had to either trade lives for the economy or the economy for lives.
To that I give a one-word answer: Taiwan.
Taiwan is the other “China”. It’s a small island off the southern coast of China, called the Republic of China (ROC). It was created as a bastion of “free” China as the Communist Party took over mainland China (PRC).
The island may be small, but the country is a regional and worldwide powerhouse. It’s the 21st largest economy in the world (19th if counting by PPP), despite having a population of just 24 million. It ranks 11th in GDP per capita, comparable to Denmark and Sweden.
It’s also an important partner with Communist China as one of the leading investors, trading partners and bankers for the PRC. Consequently, Taiwan hosts quite a bit of contact with the PRC.
For comparison sake, the United Sates saw about 3 million visitors from China in 2018, while Taiwan hosted 2.6 million visitors from China in 2018.
That’s why the results from Taiwan in fighting China’s Wuhan flu—as they call it in Taiwan—is so extraordinary.
Worldwide there have been 321 cases of COVID-19, or Wuhan flu, per million people. In Taiwan there have been just 0.3 cases per million people for a total of 422 cases, with only six total deaths.
Equally important is that while the Taiwanese economy has been damaged by the global shutdown, their domestic economy and society has remained open. (Source and Full Article Here.)
We report these results as a comparison to what other actions have been taken in other countries, that have had far more disastrous results.
We are not necessarily endorsing everything that Taiwan has done, just reporting the facts about their response and their results so far.
Many questions are still unanswered. Did the actions the Taiwan Government take cause a much lower rate of reported infections of COVID-19?
Or are there other factors involved that kept their infection rates lower?
Since the SARS outbreak more than 15 years ago was so severe there, was there some natural immunity against coronaviruses involved? Did their location closer to the equator with more sunlight and warmer temperatures this time of year play a factor?
About the only thing we do know for sure, is that the jjab gods and their global leaders like Billy Boy and Dr. Fauci and the WHO cannot take credit for Taiwan’s success, because they never were able to successfully develop a jjab for SARS, and they have successfully kept Taiwan out of the WHO.
Writer Marc A. Thiessen offers his perspective:
This pandemic has provided us with a clinical trial in the healing power of freedom. We can now compare two control groups in the form of two Chinese societies — one free and democratic, the other under the grip of a brutal totalitarian dictatorship.
Totalitarian China has not only been ravaged by the virus but has also spread the contagion to our shores. Free China has defeated it. The lesson is clear: COVID-19 grew in the cesspool of Chinese Communist tyranny.
The antidote to the coronavirus is freedom. (Source)
