HMM: Coronavirus Patent is Owned by Vaccine-Production Institute Funded by Bill Gates
The Pirbright Institute, which has been funded by globalist oligarch and vaccine pusher Bill Gates, has a patent on the books for coronavirus.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a known backer of the Pirbright Institute. They gave the institute $5.5 million just last year to create a Livestock Antibody Hub for disease research in humans and animals. They are deeply involved in the business of vaccine pushing.
“New tools have given us the opportunity to utilize these detailed antibody responses to make the next generation of vaccines and therapies,” said scientist John Hammond about the Gates-funded project.
In addition to having funded the institution with a coronavirus patent, the Gates Foundation also put on a training exercise last year that simulated a coronavirus pandemic resulting in tens of millions of deaths.
Big League Politics reported on that troubling news last week:
Before this year’s very real coronavirus pandemic that started in China and is now sweeping the globe, a “fictional” simulation of such an event was sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation last year. Event 201, which was hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, took place in October 2018 and featured a simulation in which a novel zoonotic coronavirus spread throughout the world and caused 65 million deaths worldwide. In the preparedness scenario, the coronavirus started in Brazil rather than China. “Once you’re in the midst of a severe pandemic, your options are very limited,” said Eric Toner, a senior scholar at the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University. “The greatest good can happen with pre-planning.” The event was hosted in New York City and attended by some of the most influential business leaders, government officials, and health officials. Attendees claimed that it really helped them rethink how they would handle disaster preparedness if such a situation were to arise. “It really does shake up assumptions and change thinking about how we can prepare for a global pandemic,” says Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security… Billionaire oligarch Bill Gates has warned – or perhaps threatened – that a pandemic is coming that could kill millions, and a globalist response would be necessary in response to it. “In the case of biological threats, that sense of urgency is lacking,” he said. “The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.”

Abigail Disney spoke publicly about the ongoing conversations surrounding Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant ’ s legacy after the worldwide basketball star and his daughter Gianna were among nine killed in a devastating helicopter accident on Sunday .
Disney ’ s tweet on Wednesday follows actress Evan Rachel Wood ’ s remarks who wrote in a since-deleted tweet that although Bryant is heralded as a sports icon , “ he was also a rapist.

thelibertydaily--2020-02-04--TDS on Display: Andrew Yang Blames President Trump for Democrats’ Iowa Caucus Chaos

The morning after the Iowas caucuses , which were to establish the Democratic frontrunners in the presidential race , there still was no word on vote totals .
The chaos , regarded as a catastrophe for the party of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama , is said to be a result of technical glitches in the software used to tabulate totals .
But one Democratic candidate , tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang , insisted it 's President Trump 's fault .
`` It might be helpful to have a president and government that understand technology so this sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged , he said , the Washington Examiner reported .
TRENDING : Biden snaps as 'Today ' show host confronts him on Hunter Apparently , however , there were no glitches in the Republican tally in Iowa on Monday night , with President Trump the choice of 97 % of GOP voters .
The Examiner reported Yang `` ripped '' Trump because of the failure of the voting app commissioned by the Iowa Democratic Party .
The report said `` agitated campaign officials and voters '' awaiting word of the results were told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were tabulated .
The Department of Homeland Security said the Iowa Democratic Party refused to let them test the failed app , which was coded by a company called Shadow Incorporated .
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News , `` No one hacked into it , so this is more of a stress or load issue , as well as a reporting issue we 're seeing in Iowa . ''
Trump , on Twitter , suggested the Democrats look somewhere else for a scapegoat .
`` When will the Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the Great State of Iowa ? ''
he wrote .
Twitter users pointed out that the GOP caucuses went off without a hitch .
And the company that developed the software for the Democrats was run by two people who worked for Hillary Clinton 's campaign .
At Twitchy , the Twitter news aggregator , commented : `` Guess we should just be glad Yang is n't blaming Russia for the Iowa Caucus mess like Dean Obeidallah did .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump for Iowa and claiming it 's because he does n't understand technology is stupid , but it 's not insane . ''

"It might be helpful to have a president and government that understand technology so this sort of thing doesn't happen," he charged, he said, the Washington Examiner reported.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Apparently, however, there were no glitches in the Republican tally in Iowa on Monday night, with President Trump the choice of 97% of GOP voters.
It might be helpful to have a President and government that understand technology so this sort of thing doesn’t happen. — Andrew Yang🧢 (@AndrewYang) February 4, 2020
The Examiner reported Yang "ripped" Trump because of the failure of the voting app commissioned by the Iowa Democratic Party.
The report said "agitated campaign officials and voters" awaiting word of the results were told it could be hours before the votes were tabulated.
The Department of Homeland Security said the Iowa Democratic Party refused to let them test the failed app, which was coded by a company called Shadow Incorporated.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News, "No one hacked into it, so this is more of a stress or load issue, as well as a reporting issue we're seeing in Iowa."
Trump, on Twitter, suggested the Democrats look somewhere else for a scapegoat.
"When will the Democrats start blaming RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the Great State of Iowa?" he wrote.
Twitter users pointed out that the GOP caucuses went off without a hitch. And the company that developed the software for the Democrats was run by two people who worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
At Twitchy, the Twitter news aggregator, commented: "Guess we should just be glad Yang isn't blaming Russia for the Iowa Caucus mess like Dean Obeidallah did. Don't get us wrong, blaming Trump for Iowa and claiming it's because he doesn't understand technology is stupid, but it's not insane."

The notes were released along with 300 pages of witness interviews on Monday, following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by BuzzFeed and CNN for access to documents in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation.
“At some point in their discussion, Rosenstein commented how much he treasured Comey’s intellect and asked McCabe to speak with Comey to get his opinion as to whether a special counsel should be appointed,” McCabe told investigators days after a memo by the deputy attorney general criticizing Comey was cited by Trump in the FBI director’s firing. McCabe shot down the suggestion, and Rosenstein and Comey have attacked each other since.
Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, and Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel on May 17, 2017. Mueller’s investigation did not establish a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin but laid out 10 possible instances of obstruction of justice. Attorney General William Barr and Rosenstein concluded obstruction had not occurred.

Gen. Michael Flynn.
The handling of these investigations was criticized in DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse report in December. Horowitz previously criticized Comey for leaking his memos to spark the appointment of a special counsel.
McCabe said he and others talked about “the fact that, by investigating the Trump campaign, they were, by definition, ‘sort of’ investigating Trump. As such, they wondered whether it would be accurate to tell Trump he was not under investigation.” Comey had repeatedly assured Trump he was not personally under investigation.

During one meeting between McCabe, Rosenstein, Crowell, and DOJ attorney Tashina Gauhar, they “discussed whether the investigations” into “collusion” and “obstruction” would be “perceived as revenge.”

Rosenstein appointed Mueller the next day.
McCabe was fired in 2018 and is currently under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., over allegations he misled investigators about media leaks. He denies the allegations and has sued the DOJ.

McConnell Scorches Democrat-Led House in Senate Speech Calling for Acquittal: Trump Impeached for High Crime of Defeating Hillary

McConnell Scorches Democrat Led House in Senate Speech Calling for Acquittal : Trump Impeached for High Crime of Defeating Hillary Clinton ( Video ) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) spoke on the Senate floor Tuesday morning to call for the acquittal of President Trump in Wednesday ’ s impeachment trial vote .
McConnell scorched the Democrat led House of Representatives for “ abuse of power ” , accusing them of impeaching Trump in a rushed , partisan process .
McConnell said that Trump ’ s original impeachment sin for Democrats was defeating Hillary Clinton to win the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been scheming ever since to remove Trump from office .
…Here ’ s their real position : Washington Democrats think President Donald Trump committed a “ High Crime or Misdemeanor ” the moment he defeated Secretary Clinton in the 2016 election .

We have done our duty .
We have considered all arguments .

Vote to protect our institutions .
‘ Vote to reject new precedents that would reduce the Framers ’ design to rubble .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ boiling over and scorching our Republic .
‘ I urge every one of our colleagues to cast the vote that the facts in evidence , the Constitution , and the common good clearly require .
‘ Vote to acquit the President of these charges.
’ Text of speech as posted on McConnell ’ s Senate page .
‘ These past weeks , the Senate has grappled with as grave a subject as we ever consider : A request from a majority in the House of Representatives to remove the president .
‘ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they harbored no illusions that these trials would always begin for the right reasons .
Alexander Hamilton warned that “ the demon of faction ” would “ extend his sceptre ” over the House of Representatives “ at certain seasons.
” He warned that “ an intemperate or designing majority in the House ” might misuse impeachment as a weapon of ordinary politics rather than an emergency tool of last resort .
‘ The Framers knew impeachments might begin with overheated passions and short-term factionalism .
But they knew those things could not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ placed the ultimate judgment not in the fractious lower chamber , but in the sober and stable Senate .
‘ They wanted impeachment trials to be fair to both sides .
They wanted them to be timely , avoiding the “ procrastinated determination of the charges.
” They wanted us to take a deep breath and decide which outcome would reflect the facts , protect our institutions , and advance the common good .
‘ They called the Senate , quote , “ the most fit depositary ( sic ) of this important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether that trust was well placed .
‘ The drive to impeach President Trump did not begin with the allegations before us .
‘ Here was reporting in April of 2016 : “ Donald Trump isn ’ t even the Republican nominee yet… [ but ] ‘ Impeachment ’ is already on the lips of pundits , newspaper editorials , constitutional scholars , and even a few members of Congress.
” ‘ Here was the Washington Post headline minutes after President Trump ’ s inauguration : “ The campaign to impeach President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impeachment before us were not even the first ones House Democrats introduced .
This was go-around number seven .
Those previously-alleged “ High Crimes and Misdemeanors ” included things like being impolite to the press and to professional athletes .
‘ It insults the intelligence of the American people to pretend this was a solemn process reluctantly begun because of withheld foreign aid .
No , Washington Democrats ’ position on this President has been clear for years .
‘ Their position was obvious when they openly rooted for the Mueller investigation to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the facts proved otherwise .
It was obvious when they sought to impeach this President over and over .
Here ’ s their real position : Washington Democrats think President Donald Trump committed a “ High Crime or Misdemeanor ” the moment he defeated Secretary Clinton in the 2016 election .
‘ That is the original sin of this presidency : That he won and they lost .
‘ Ever since , the nation has suffered through a grinding campaign against our norms and institutions from the same people who keep shouting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
‘ A campaign to degrade our democracy and delegitimize our elections from the same people who shout that confidence in our democracy must be paramount .
‘ We have watched a major American political party adopt the following absurd proposition : We think this president is a bull in a china shop , so we ’ re going to drive a bulldozer through the china shop to get rid of him .
‘ This fever led to the most rushed , least fair , and least thorough presidential impeachment inquiry in American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Nixon spanned many months .
The special prosecutors ’ investigation added many more months .
With President Clinton , the independent counsel worked for years .
‘ It takes time to find facts .
It takes time to litigate executive privilege , which happened in both those investigations .
Litigating privilege questions is a normal step that investigators of both parties understood was their responsibility .
‘ But this time — no lengthy investigation .
No serious inquiry .
The House abandoned its own subpoenas .
They had an arbitrary political deadline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Christmas .
‘ So in December , House Democrats realized the Framers ’ nightmare .
A purely partisan majority approved two articles of impeachment over bipartisan opposition .
And after the Speaker of the House delayed for a month in a futile effort to dictate Senate process to Senators , the articles finally arrived here in the Senate .
‘ Over the course of this trial , Senators have heard sworn video testimony from 13 witnesses over 193 video clips .
We have entered more than 28,000 pages of documents into evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 180 questions .
‘ In contrast to the House proceedings , our trial gave both sides a fair platform .
Our process tracked with the structure that Senators adopted for the Clinton trial 20 years ago .
‘ Just as Democrats such as the current Democratic Leader and then-Senator Joseph Biden argued at length in 1999 , we recognized that Senate traditions impose no obligation to hear new live witness testimony if it is not necessary to decide the case .
The House Managers themselves said over and over that additional testimony was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They claimed dozens of times that their existing case was “ overwhelming ” and “ incontrovertible.
” That was the House Mangers saying their evidence was overwhelming and incontrovertible at the same time they were arguing for more witnesses .
‘ But in reality , both of the House ’ s accusations are constitutionally incoherent .
‘ The “ obstruction of Congress ” charge is absurd and dangerous .
House Democrats argued that any time the Speaker invokes the House ’ s “ sole power of impeachment , ” the President must do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked .
Invoking executive-branch privileges and immunities in response to House subpoenas becomes an impeachable offense itself .
‘ Here ’ s how Chairman Schiff put it back in October .
Quote : “ Any action… that forces us to litigate , or have to consider litigation , will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice.
” ‘ That is nonsense .
“ Impeachment ” is not some magical constitutional trump card that melts away the separations between the branches of government .
The Framers did not leave the House a secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 230 years .
‘ When Congress subpoenas executive-branch officials with questions of privilege , the two sides either reach an accommodation or take to the courts .
‘ That is the way this works .
‘ Can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot ?
How would Democrats and the press have responded if House Republicans had told President Obama , We don ’ t want to litigate our subpoenas over Fast and Furious , so if you make us set foot in court , we ’ ll just impeach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not what happened .
The Republican House litigated its subpoenas for years until they prevailed .
‘ So much for “ obstruction of Congress.
” ‘ And the “ abuse of power ” charge is just as unpersuasive and dangerous .
‘ By passing that article , House Democrats gave into a temptation that every previous House has resisted .
They impeached a president without even alleging a crime known to our laws .
‘ I do not subscribe to the legal theory that impeachment requires a violation of a criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why , for 230 years , every presidential impeachment did allege a criminal violation .
‘ The Framers explicitly rejected impeachment for “ maladministration ” — a general charge under English law that basically encompassed bad management ; a sort of general vote of no confidence .
Except in the most extreme circumstances , except for acts that overwhelmingly shocked the national conscience , the Framers decided presidents must serve at the pleasure of the electorate and not the pleasure of House majorities .
‘ As Hamilton wrote , “ it is one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and another to be dependent on the legislative body.
” ‘ So House Democrats sailed into new and dangerous waters .
The first impeachment unbound by the criminal law .
Any House that felt it needed to take this radical step owed the country the most fair and painstaking process ; the most rigorous investigation ; the most bipartisan effort .
Instead , we got the opposite .
The exact opposite .
‘ The House Managers argued that the President could not have been acting in the national interest because he acted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national interest , a conception shared by some of the President ’ s subordinates .
‘ This does not even approach a case for the first presidential removal in American history .
‘ Such an act can not rest alone on the exercise of a constitutional power , combined with concerns about whether the President ’ s motivations were public or personal , and a disagreement over whether the exercise of the power was in the national interests .
‘ The Framers gave our nation an ultimate tool for evaluating a President ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re called elections .
‘ If Washington Democrats have a case to make against the President ’ s re-election , they should go out and make it .
Let them try to do what they failed to do three years ago and sell the American people on their vision for the country .
‘ I can certainly see why , given President Trump ’ s remarkable achievements over the past three years , Democrats might feel uneasy about defeating him at the ballot box .
But they don ’ t get to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just because they ’ re afraid they might lose again .
They don ’ t get to strike President Trump ’ s name from the ballot just because , as one House Democrat put it , “ I ’ m concerned that if we don ’ t impeach [ him ] , he will get re-elected.
” ‘ The impeachment power exists for a reason .
It is no nullity .
But invoking it on a partisan whim to settle three-year-old political scores does not honor the Framers ’ design .
It insults @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is hard to believe that House Democrats ever really thought this reckless and precedent-breaking process would yield 67 votes to cross the Rubicon .
‘ Was their vision so clouded by partisanship that they really believed this would be anywhere near enough for the first presidential removal in American history ?
‘ Or was success beside the point ?
Was this all an effort to hijack our institutions for a months-long political rally ?
‘ Either way — “ the demon of faction ” has been on full display .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exit the stage .
‘ We have indeed witnessed an abuse of power : A grave abuse of power by just the kind of House majority the Framers warned us about .
‘ So tomorrow , the Senate must do what we were created to do .
We have done our duty .
We have considered all arguments .
We have studied the “ mountain of evidence.
” And tomorrow , we will vote .
‘ We must vote to reject the House ’ s abuse of power .
Vote to protect our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precedents that would reduce the Framers ’ design to rubble .
‘ Vote to keep factional fever from boiling over and scorching our Republic .

And after the Speaker of the House delayed for a month in a futile effort to dictate Senate process to Senators, the articles finally arrived here in the Senate.
‘Over the course of this trial, Senators have heard sworn video testimony from 13 witnesses over 193 video clips. We have entered more than 28,000 pages of documents into evidence, including 17 depositions. Members asked 180 questions.
‘In contrast to the House proceedings, our trial gave both sides a fair platform. Our process tracked with the structure that Senators adopted for the Clinton trial 20 years ago.
‘Just as Democrats such as the current Democratic Leader and then-Senator Joseph Biden argued at length in 1999, we recognized that Senate traditions impose no obligation to hear new live witness testimony if it is not necessary to decide the case. The House Managers themselves said over and over that additional testimony was not necessary to prove their case. They claimed dozens of times that their existing case was “overwhelming” and “incontrovertible.” That was the House Mangers saying their evidence was overwhelming and incontrovertible at the same time they were arguing for more witnesses.
‘But in reality, both of the House’s accusations are constitutionally incoherent.
‘The “obstruction of Congress” charge is absurd and dangerous. House Democrats argued that any time the Speaker invokes the House’s “sole power of impeachment,” the President must do whatever the House demands, no questions asked. Invoking executive-branch privileges and immunities in response to House subpoenas becomes an impeachable offense itself.
‘Here’s how Chairman Schiff put it back in October. Quote: “Any action… that forces us to litigate, or have to consider litigation, will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice.”
‘That is nonsense. “Impeachment” is not some magical constitutional trump card that melts away the separations between the branches of government. The Framers did not leave the House a secret constitutional steamroller that everyone somehow overlooked for 230 years.
‘When Congress subpoenas executive-branch officials with questions of privilege, the two sides either reach an accommodation or take to the courts.
‘That is the way this works.
‘Can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? How would Democrats and the press have responded if House Republicans had told President Obama, We don’t want to litigate our subpoenas over Fast and Furious, so if you make us set foot in court, we’ll just impeach you?
‘Of course, that’s not what happened. The Republican House litigated its subpoenas for years until they prevailed.
‘So much for “obstruction of Congress.”
‘And the “abuse of power” charge is just as unpersuasive and dangerous.
‘By passing that article, House Democrats gave into a temptation that every previous House has resisted. They impeached a president without even alleging a crime known to our laws.
‘I do not subscribe to the legal theory that impeachment requires a violation of a criminal statute. But there are powerful reasons why, for 230 years, every presidential impeachment did allege a criminal violation.
‘The Framers explicitly rejected impeachment for “maladministration” — a general charge under English law that basically encompassed bad management; a sort of general vote of no confidence. Except in the most extreme circumstances, except for acts that overwhelmingly shocked the national conscience, the Framers decided presidents must serve at the pleasure of the electorate and not the pleasure of House majorities.
‘As Hamilton wrote, “it is one thing to be subordinate to the laws, and another to be dependent on the legislative body.”
‘So House Democrats sailed into new and dangerous waters. The first impeachment unbound by the criminal law. Any House that felt it needed to take this radical step owed the country the most fair and painstaking process; the most rigorous investigation; the most bipartisan effort. Instead, we got the opposite. The exact opposite.
‘The House Managers argued that the President could not have been acting in the national interest because he acted inconsistently with their own conception of the national interest, a conception shared by some of the President’s subordinates.
‘This does not even approach a case for the first presidential removal in American history.
‘Such an act cannot rest alone on the exercise of a constitutional power, combined with concerns about whether the President’s motivations were public or personal, and a disagreement over whether the exercise of the power was in the national interests.
‘The Framers gave our nation an ultimate tool for evaluating a President’s character and policy decisions. They’re called elections.
‘If Washington Democrats have a case to make against the President’s re-election, they should go out and make it. Let them try to do what they failed to do three years ago and sell the American people on their vision for the country.
‘I can certainly see why, given President Trump’s remarkable achievements over the past three years, Democrats might feel uneasy about defeating him at the ballot box. But they don’t get to rip the choice away from the voters just because they’re afraid they might lose again.
They don’t get to strike President Trump’s name from the ballot just because, as one House Democrat put it, “I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach [him], he will get re-elected.”
‘The impeachment power exists for a reason. It is no nullity. But invoking it on a partisan whim to settle three-year-old political scores does not honor the Framers’ design. It insults the Framers’ design.
‘Frankly, it is hard to believe that House Democrats ever really thought this reckless and precedent-breaking process would yield 67 votes to cross the Rubicon.
‘Was their vision so clouded by partisanship that they really believed this would be anywhere near enough for the first presidential removal in American history?
‘Or was success beside the point? Was this all an effort to hijack our institutions for a months-long political rally?
‘Either way — “the demon of faction” has been on full display. But now it is time for him to exit the stage.
‘We have indeed witnessed an abuse of power: A grave abuse of power by just the kind of House majority the Framers warned us about.
‘So tomorrow, the Senate must do what we were created to do. We have done our duty. We have considered all arguments. We have studied the “mountain of evidence.” And tomorrow, we will vote.
‘We must vote to reject the House’s abuse of power. Vote to protect our institutions.
‘Vote to reject new precedents that would reduce the Framers’ design to rubble.
‘Vote to keep factional fever from boiling over and scorching our Republic.
‘I urge every one of our colleagues to cast the vote that the facts in evidence, the Constitution, and the common good clearly require.
‘Vote to acquit the President of these charges.’
