wakingtimes--2020-04-23--Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History?

While philanthropy is considered noble , some philanthropists appear to be doing far more harm than good with their donated millions .
Bill Gates , who cofounded Microsoft in 1975 , is perhaps one of the most dangerous philanthropists in modern history , having poured billions of dollars into global health initiatives that stand on shaky scientific and moral ground .
Gates ’ answers to the problems of the world are consistently focused on building corporate profits through highly toxic methods , be it chemical agriculture and GMOs , or pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines .
Rarely , if ever , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or inexpensive holistic health strategies .
A March 17 , 2020 , article in The Nation titled , “ Bill Gates ’ Charity Paradox , ” details “ the moral hazards surrounding the Gates Foundation ’ s $ 50 billion charitable enterprise , whose sprawling activities over the last two decades have been subject to remarkably little government oversight or public scrutiny.
” As noted in this article , Gates discovered an easy way to gain political power — “ one that allows unelected billionaires to shape public policy ” — namely charity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ catalytic philanthropy , ” one in which the “ tools of capitalism ” are leveraged to benefit the poor .
The only problem is that the true beneficiaries of Gates ’ philanthropic endeavors tend to be those who are already rich beyond comprehension , including Gates ’ own charitable foundation .
The poor , on the other hand , end up with costly solutions like patented GMO seeds and vaccines that in some instances have done far more harm than good .
( For a few examples , see the following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Companies that have received large donations from the Gates Foundation include GlaxoSmithKline , Unilever , IBM , Vodafone , Scholastic Inc. and NBC Universal Media .
Those Calling the Shots Stand to Gain the Most In the video above , Spiro Skouras reviews how the global COVID-19 pandemic is being used to snatch freedom and liberty away from us , and the role Gates is playing in the process .
Gates , surely , fits the description of someone who is both calling the shots and stands to gain handsomely from the COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investing in the same industries he ’ s giving charitable donations to and , second , by promoting a global public health agenda that benefits the companies he ’ s invested in and supports .
How Gates ’ Foundation Benefits From Its Own Donations For example , in 2014 , a Mastercard affiliate , MasterCard Labs for Financial Inclusion , received a $ 19 million donation “ to ‘ increase usage of digital financial products by poor adults ’ in Kenya , ” The Nation reports , adding : Indeed , those are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Mastercard donation also appears to have benefited the Gates Foundation , making an investigation into Gates ’ “ philanthropy ” all the more necessary .
As explained by The Nation , at the time of that donation , the Gates Foundation had “ substantial financial investments in Mastercard through its holdings in Warren Buffett ’ s investment company , Berkshire Hathaway.
” That ’ s not the only questionable donation on record .
The Nation found “ close to $ 250 million in charitable grants from the Gates Foundation to companies in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bonds.
” In other words , the Gates Foundation is giving money to companies that it owns stocks in and will benefit financially from .
As a result , the Foundation and Gates himself continue to increase their wealth .
Part of this growth in wealth also appears to be due to the tax breaks given for charitable donations .
In short , it ’ s a perfect money-shuffling scheme that limits taxes while maximizing income generation .
Companies that have received donations that in turn made money for the Gates Foundation include @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sanofi , Ericsson , LG , Medtronic , Teva and “ numerous startups , ” The Nation writes , adding : If donating to for-profit companies sounds oddly illegal to you , you ’ d be right .
Gates is a tax evader for doing so — he ’ s simply getting away with it .
The nonprofit foundation is a disguise to avoid taxes while funding the research arms of for-profit organizations that his foundation is invested in .
In reality , Bill and Melinda Gates should be given federal prison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , I believe that ’ s really the point of The Nation ’ s article .
Using nonprofit money to advance research for companies you ’ re invested in is illegal .
If you are as repulsed by the fact that Gates is getting away with this illegal behavior as much as I am , then I encourage you to contact the IRS Whistleblower Office and ask them to investigate Gates ’ tax evasion .
You can also file a consumer complaint with the Washington State Attorney General ’ s office .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ investments can also be seen in his pro-patent stance .
James Love , director of the nonprofit Knowledge Ecology International pointed out to The Nation that Gates : Gates is a staunch and longtime defender of the drug industry , and his intent to further the pharmaceutical agenda can clearly be seen in the current COVID-19 pandemic .
As reported by Forbes , The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $ 100 million to fight the global COVID-19 outbreak .
As much as $ 20 million will reportedly go to agencies such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Prevention and the World Health Organization to be used for front-line detection , containment and treatment efforts .
Another $ 20 million is earmarked for at-risk populations in Africa and South Asia while the remaining $ 60 million is to be used for vaccine development , diagnostics and other treatments .
Vaccines are clearly one of Gates ’ mainstay “ solutions ” to most diseases .
Gates has gone on record saying the U.S. needs disease surveillance and a national tracking system that could involve vaccine records embedded on our bodies ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described in a Science Translational Medicine paper . )
In fact , he ’ s stated that life will not go back to normal until we have the ability to vaccinate the entire global population against COVID-19 .
Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , has echoed this exact sentiment as well , as if they ’ re reading the same cue card .
It would not surprise me if they were , seeing how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation collaborates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to increase coordination across the international vaccine community and create a Global Vaccine Action Plan.
” Fauci is on Gate ’ s Leadership Council board charged with developing this vaccine action plan , as is WHO ’ s former director general Dr. Margaret Chan .
As explained in a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation press release : Gates influence over global health policies has been criticized for years , yet nothing has been done to limit it .
If anything , his power has only grown , and warnings that his corporate interests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have come true .
As reported by Politico in 2017 : According to statements made by Gates , societal and financial normalcy may never return to those who refuse vaccination , as the digital vaccination certificate Gates is pushing for might ultimately be required to go about your day-to-day life and business .
An April 4 , 2020 , article by OffGuardian comments on Gates ’ March 24 , 2020 , interview with Chris Anderson , the curator of TED ( which runs TED Talks ) above : Again , vaccine producers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from any given pandemic , and the Gates Foundation is both funding and making investment profits from vaccine makers .
Is it any wonder then that Gates is trying to indoctrinate people into thinking there are no other answers ?
When asked by Anderson about the economic ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic , Gates says : At 33:45 in the interview , Gates goes on to reveal what appears to be a stunning insider ’ s insight into the current economic shutdown : In other words , if we are to believe Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stability and sanity of hundreds of millions of Americans in order to prevent the infection rate from hitting 1 % of the population .
Keep in mind , the death rate for COVID-19 now appears to be on par with seasonal influenza , according to Fauci , so the vast majority of those infected end up recovering after mild illness , and have antibodies that should provide them with long-lasting immunity .
Clearly , if you want to make money from a vaccine , you don ’ t want people to develop immunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates is admitting to .
As noted by OffGuardian : The short video above summarizes some of the points I ’ ve touched on in this article so far and reviews how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation influences public health policy at the very highest levels through a vast web of personal and organizational interconnections .
Gates has a history of “ predicting ” global pandemics with vast numbers of deaths , and with his call for a tracking system to keep tabs on infected/noninfected and vaccinated/unvaccinated individuals , he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine makers he supports and makes money from via his Foundation investments .
In an April 9 , 2020 , Children ’ s Health Defense article , Robert F. Kennedy Jr. further details Gates ’ vaccine agenda .
As noted by Kennedy : The vaccination ID enterprise Kennedy mentions refers to a program called ID2020 , launched in 2019 , which is designed to “ leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity.
” This digital identity system is said to carry “ far-reaching implications for individuals ’ access to services and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates ’ call for implantable COVID-19 vaccine certificates would be limited to that alone would likely be a grave mistake .
It ’ s not so far-fetched to imagine a future in which your vaccine certificate simply replaces personal identifications such as your driver ’ s license , state ID card , Social Security card and passport .

Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History?
Dr. Mercola, Guest
Waking Times
While philanthropy is considered noble, some philanthropists appear to be doing far more harm than good with their donated millions. Bill Gates, who cofounded Microsoft in 1975, is perhaps one of the most dangerous philanthropists in modern history, having poured billions of dollars into global health initiatives that stand on shaky scientific and moral ground.
Gates’ answers to the problems of the world are consistently focused on building corporate profits through highly toxic methods, be it chemical agriculture and GMOs, or pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. Rarely, if ever, do we find Gates promoting clean living or inexpensive holistic health strategies.
Gates Donates Billions to Private Companies
A March 17, 2020, article in The Nation titled, “Bill Gates’ Charity Paradox,” details “the moral hazards surrounding the Gates Foundation’s $50 billion charitable enterprise, whose sprawling activities over the last two decades have been subject to remarkably little government oversight or public scrutiny.”
As noted in this article, Gates discovered an easy way to gain political power — “one that allows unelected billionaires to shape public policy” — namely charity. Gates has described his charity strategy as “catalytic philanthropy,” one in which the “tools of capitalism” are leveraged to benefit the poor.
The only problem is that the true beneficiaries of Gates’ philanthropic endeavors tend to be those who are already rich beyond comprehension, including Gates’ own charitable foundation. The poor, on the other hand, end up with costly solutions like patented GMO seeds and vaccines that in some instances have done far more harm than good. (For a few examples, see the following references.) The Nation reports:
“Through an investigation of more than 19,000 charitable grants the Gates Foundation has made over the last two decades, The Nation has uncovered close to $2 billion in tax-deductible charitable donations to private companies … which are tasked with developing new drugs, improving sanitation in the developing world, developing financial products for Muslim consumers, and spreading the good news about this work.
The Gates Foundation even gave $2 million to Participant Media to promote Davis Guggenheim’s previous documentary film ‘Waiting for Superman,‘ which pushes one of the foundation’s signature charity efforts, charter schools — privately managed public schools. This charitable donation is a small part of the $250 million the foundation has given to media companies and other groups to influence the news.
‘It’s been a quite unprecedented development, the amount that the Gates Foundation is gifting to corporations … I find that flabbergasting, frankly,’ says Linsey McGoey, a professor of sociology at the University of Essex and author of the book ‘No Such Thing as a Free Gift.’
‘They’ve created one of the most problematic precedents in the history of foundation giving by essentially opening the door for corporations to see themselves as deserving charity claimants at a time when corporate profits are at an all-time high.'”
Companies that have received large donations from the Gates Foundation include GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, IBM, Vodafone, Scholastic Inc. and NBC Universal Media.
Those Calling the Shots Stand to Gain the Most
http://youtu.be/c4Aps2NPe54
In the video above, Spiro Skouras reviews how the global COVID-19 pandemic is being used to snatch freedom and liberty away from us, and the role Gates is playing in the process.
“We have been encouraged to sacrifice our liberty for a false sense of security, being conditioned more and more each day to rely on the state for protection and now many of us find ourselves relying on the state to pay our bills,” Skouras says.
“Some are beginning to see that there may be more to the official story than what we are led to believe. The very few may have seen this coming and are waiting for the next phase of what very well could be another step closer to global governance.
The exact same individuals and government agencies, in addition to global institutions who stand to benefit the most, are the ones calling the shots.”
Gates, surely, fits the description of someone who is both calling the shots and stands to gain handsomely from the COVID-19 pandemic. How? First, by investing in the same industries he’s giving charitable donations to and, second, by promoting a global public health agenda that benefits the companies he’s invested in and supports.
How Gates’ Foundation Benefits From Its Own Donations
For example, in 2014, a Mastercard affiliate, MasterCard Labs for Financial Inclusion, received a $19 million donation “to ‘increase usage of digital financial products by poor adults’ in Kenya,” The Nation reports, adding:
“The credit card giant had already articulated its keen business interest in cultivating new clients from the developing world’s 2.5 billion unbanked people, McGoey says, so why did it need a wealthy philanthropist to subsidize its work? And why are Bill and Melinda Gates getting a tax break for this donation?”
Indeed, those are sensible questions that need serious review. The Mastercard donation also appears to have benefited the Gates Foundation, making an investigation into Gates’ “philanthropy” all the more necessary.
As explained by The Nation, at the time of that donation, the Gates Foundation had “substantial financial investments in Mastercard through its holdings in Warren Buffett’s investment company, Berkshire Hathaway.”
That’s not the only questionable donation on record. The Nation found “close to $250 million in charitable grants from the Gates Foundation to companies in which the foundation holds corporate stocks and bonds.” In other words, the Gates Foundation is giving money to companies that it owns stocks in and will benefit financially from.
As a result, the Foundation and Gates himself continue to increase their wealth. Part of this growth in wealth also appears to be due to the tax breaks given for charitable donations. In short, it’s a perfect money-shuffling scheme that limits taxes while maximizing income generation.
Companies that have received donations that in turn made money for the Gates Foundation include Merck, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Vodafone, Sanofi, Ericsson, LG, Medtronic, Teva and “numerous startups,” The Nation writes, adding:
“A foundation giving a charitable grant to a company that it partly owns — and stands to benefit from financially — would seem like an obvious conflict of interest …
Tax scholars like Ray Madoff, a law professor at Boston College, indicate that multibillionaires see tax savings of at least 40 percent — which, for Bill Gates, would amount to $14 billion …
Madoff, like many tax experts, stresses that these billions of dollars in tax savings have to be seen as a public subsidy — money that otherwise would have gone to the U.S. Treasury to help build bridges, do medical research, or close the funding gap at the IRS …
If Bill and Melinda Gates don’t pay their full freight in taxes, the public has to make up the difference or simply live in a world where governments do less and less (educating, vaccinating, and researching) and superrich philanthropists do more and more.
‘I think people often confuse what wealthy people are doing on their own dime and what [they’re] doing on our dime, and that’s one of the big problems about this debate,’ Madoff notes.
‘People say, ‘It’s the rich person’s money [to spend as they wish].’ But when they get significant tax benefits, it’s also our money. And so that’s why we need to have rules about how they spend our money.'”
Take Action — Demand an Investigation
If donating to for-profit companies sounds oddly illegal to you, you’d be right. Gates is a tax evader for doing so — he’s simply getting away with it. The nonprofit foundation is a disguise to avoid taxes while funding the research arms of for-profit organizations that his foundation is invested in.
In reality, Bill and Melinda Gates should be given federal prison sentences, and while not directly spelled out, I believe that’s really the point of The Nation’s article. Using nonprofit money to advance research for companies you’re invested in is illegal.
If you are as repulsed by the fact that Gates is getting away with this illegal behavior as much as I am, then I encourage you to contact the IRS Whistleblower Office and ask them to investigate Gates’ tax evasion. You can also file a consumer complaint with the Washington State Attorney General’s office.
Gates’ Pro-Patent Agenda Limits Reforms
That Gates philanthropic endeavors protect his own investments can also be seen in his pro-patent stance. James Love, director of the nonprofit Knowledge Ecology International pointed out to The Nation that Gates:
“… uses his philanthropy to advance a pro-patent agenda on pharmaceutical drugs, even in countries that are really poor … He’s undermining a lot of things that are really necessary to make drugs affordable … He gives so much money to [fight] poverty, and yet he’s the biggest obstacle on a lot of reforms.”
Gates is a staunch and longtime defender of the drug industry, and his intent to further the pharmaceutical agenda can clearly be seen in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Gates’ COVID-19 Plan — Vaccinate Global Population
As reported by Forbes, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $100 million to fight the global COVID-19 outbreak. As much as $20 million will reportedly go to agencies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization to be used for front-line detection, containment and treatment efforts.
Another $20 million is earmarked for at-risk populations in Africa and South Asia while the remaining $60 million is to be used for vaccine development, diagnostics and other treatments.
Vaccines are clearly one of Gates’ mainstay “solutions” to most diseases. Gates has gone on record saying the U.S. needs disease surveillance and a national tracking system that could involve vaccine records embedded on our bodies (such as invisible ink quantum dot tattoos described in a Science Translational Medicine paper.)
In fact, he’s stated that life will not go back to normal until we have the ability to vaccinate the entire global population against COVID-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has echoed this exact sentiment as well, as if they’re reading the same cue card.
It would not surprise me if they were, seeing how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation collaborates with both the NIAID and WHO “to increase coordination across the international vaccine community and create a Global Vaccine Action Plan.”
Fauci is on Gate’s Leadership Council board charged with developing this vaccine action plan, as is WHO’s former director general Dr. Margaret Chan. As explained in a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation press release:
“The Global Vaccine Action Plan will enable greater coordination across all stakeholder groups — national governments, multilateral organizations, civil society, the private sector and philanthropic organizations — and will identify critical policy, resource, and other gaps that must be addressed to realize the life-saving potential of vaccines.”
Gates influence over global health policies has been criticized for years, yet nothing has been done to limit it. If anything, his power has only grown, and warnings that his corporate interests may undermine public health policy now appears to have come true. As reported by Politico in 2017:
“Some billionaires are satisfied with buying themselves an island. Bill Gates got a United Nations health agency in Geneva. Over the past decade, the world’s richest man has become the World Health Organization’s second biggest donor, second only to the United States and just above the United Kingdom …
The Gates Foundation has pumped more than $2.4 billion into the WHO since 2000 … This largesse gives him outsized influence over its agenda … The result, say his critics, is that Gates’ priorities have become the WHO’s …
Some health advocates fear that because the Gates Foundation’s money comes from investments in big business, it could serve as a Trojan horse for corporate interests to undermine WHO’s role in setting standards and shaping health policies.”
Vaccinate or Become a Social Outcast?
According to statements made by Gates, societal and financial normalcy may never return to those who refuse vaccination, as the digital vaccination certificate Gates is pushing for might ultimately be required to go about your day-to-day life and business.
An April 4, 2020, article by OffGuardian comments on Gates’ March 24, 2020, interview with Chris Anderson, the curator of TED (which runs TED Talks) above:
“Shockingly, Gates … suggests people be made to have a digital ID showing their vaccination status, and that people without this ‘digital immunity proof’ would not be allowed to travel. Such an approach would mean very big money for vaccine producers.”
Again, vaccine producers stand to make enormous amounts of money from any given pandemic, and the Gates Foundation is both funding and making investment profits from vaccine makers. Is it any wonder then that Gates is trying to indoctrinate people into thinking there are no other answers? When asked by Anderson about the economic ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gates says:
“It is really tragic that the economic effects of this are very dramatic … But … bringing the economy back … that’s more of a reversible thing than bringing people back to life. So, we’re going to take the pain in the economic dimension, huge pain, in order to minimize the pain in disease and death dimension.”
As noted by OffGuardian, Gates’ statement:
“… goes directly against the imperative to balance the benefits and costs of the screening, testing and treatment measures for each ailment — as successfully promulgated for years by, for example, the Choosing Wisely campaign — to provide the maximum benefit to individual patients and society as a whole. Even more importantly … there may be dramatically more deaths from the economic breakdown than from COVID-19 itself …
Millions could potentially die from suicide, drug abuse, lack of medical coverage or treatment, poverty and lack of food access, on top of other predictable social, medical and public-health problems stemming from the response to COVID-19.”
Gates Explains Economic Shutdown
At 33:45 in the interview, Gates goes on to reveal what appears to be a stunning insider’s insight into the current economic shutdown:
“We don’t want to have a lot of recovered people … To be clear, we’re trying — through the shut-down in the United States — to not get to 1% of the population infected … I believe we will be able to avoid that with having this economic pain.”
In other words, if we are to believe Gates, we’re sacrificing the financial stability and sanity of hundreds of millions of Americans in order to prevent the infection rate from hitting 1% of the population.
Keep in mind, the death rate for COVID-19 now appears to be on par with seasonal influenza, according to Fauci, so the vast majority of those infected end up recovering after mild illness, and have antibodies that should provide them with long-lasting immunity. Clearly, if you want to make money from a vaccine, you don’t want people to develop immunity naturally, and this is precisely what Gates is admitting to. As noted by OffGuardian:
“Gates and his colleagues far prefer to create a vast, hugely expensive, new system of manufacturing and selling billions of test kits, and in parallel very quickly developing and selling billions of antivirals and vaccines.
And then, when the virus comes back again a few months later and most of the population is unexposed and therefore vulnerable, selling billions more test kits and medical interventions.”
Gates Leads Medical Tyranny Agenda
http://youtu.be/P_bJuDZfxHI
The short video above summarizes some of the points I’ve touched on in this article so far and reviews how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation influences public health policy at the very highest levels through a vast web of personal and organizational interconnections.
Gates has a history of “predicting” global pandemics with vast numbers of deaths, and with his call for a tracking system to keep tabs on infected/noninfected and vaccinated/unvaccinated individuals, he’s ensuring an unimaginably profitable future for the vaccine makers he supports and makes money from via his Foundation investments.
In an April 9, 2020, Children’s Health Defense article, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. further details Gates’ vaccine agenda. As noted by Kennedy:
“Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy.”
The vaccination ID enterprise Kennedy mentions refers to a program called ID2020, launched in 2019, which is designed to “leverage immunization as an opportunity to establish digital identity.”
This digital identity system is said to carry “far-reaching implications for individuals’ access to services and livelihoods,” so to think that Gates’ call for implantable COVID-19 vaccine certificates would be limited to that alone would likely be a grave mistake.
It’s not so far-fetched to imagine a future in which your vaccine certificate simply replaces personal identifications such as your driver’s license, state ID card, Social Security card and passport.
Wall Street Journal Wants Us to Pity Gates
As people are starting to see the truth, Gates’ social media accounts have been flooded with criticism, resulting in The Wall Street Journal publishing an article trying to raise pity for him, saying he’s being attacked by “social media mobs.” April 17, 2020, Zero Hedge commented on the PR campaign to protect Gates:
“The Wall Street Journal’s Deepa Seetharaman wants us to know that while poor billionaire Bill Gates has ‘long been a target for online trolls’ … ‘the social-media attacks have intensified’ as the Micrrosoft co-founder and World Health Organization (WHO) benefactor has become the left’s de-facto coronavirus czar …
Perhaps the ‘conspiracy theorists’ are having a little trouble digesting the fact that Gates — whose vaccine efforts in India were blamed for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children — coincidentally hosted an October, 2019 high-level ‘pandemic simulation’ in New York called Event 201 which specifically focused on coronavirus …
Combine that with Gates’ recent comments about mass vaccination and biometric identification in order to ‘open up’ the country and allow people to attend mass gatherings — an idea which Dr. Anthony Fauci said ‘has merit,’ and so-called conspiracy theorists have plenty of dots to connect.
According to the Journal, ‘social-media platforms remain fertile ground for virus-related conspiracies and online harassment, despite repeated pledges by the companies to crack down on such activity.’
So — Gates is being harassed and nobody is stopping these thought criminals with their menacing opinions. And of course, ‘bots’ are also being blamed for amplifying ‘conspiracy claims’ — since there can’t be that many real humans with bad things to say about Mr. Gates.”
Far from being a force for good, Gates appears to have chosen to use his wealth and intellect to further a distasteful social control plan to benefit his own nefarious agendas, and people all over the world are finally starting to see his true colors.

Chicago Health Commissioner Tells Public a Mass Vaccination Campaign is Underway, ‘We’ve Already Bought the Syringes’
Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer
Waking Times
During a recent press conference, the Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health, Allison Arwady, commented on a city mass vaccination campaign, which she says is already well underway. Chicago has a definite plan, has chosen the locations to vaccinate the public, and has even already purchased syringes.
“…and then finally we’ll be moving towards this mass vaccination campaign, continuing to follow, and I want you to know, the CDPH is already deep in the planning stages around vaccination. We’ve already bought the syringes. We already know where it’s going to happen. We’re thinking about what that’s going to be. It’s all part of this plan.” ~Allison Arwady, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health
Arwady has become a reliable face for Chicagoans during the pandemic, frequently appearing alongside Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and regularly hosting live question and answer sessions on Chicago Public Health’s social media pages. She was also recently interviewed by local media and when asked about plans for re-opening, did not mention the vaccination campaign.
Arwady appears to be very enthusiastic about the vaccine campaign, which is also no surprise, as the general tenor of the growing vaccine conversation is very much matter-of-fact, as though there is no controversy or debate about whether a vaccine is necessary or even safe.
At present there is not a vaccine for Covid-19, and many sources have already reported on mutations of the virus, which is one reason why a vaccine for Covid-19 may not even be possible.
Potential vaccines are being rushed through production and trials as quickly as possible, which will likely lead to the rollout of a vaccine that has not been adequately proven safe or effective.
Furthermore, whichever pharmaceutical company wins the race to create a vaccine will instantly become insanely rich, as the plan appears to be to vaccinate ‘7 billion healthy people.’
Given these circumstances, having concerns about taking a Covid-19 vaccine are justifiable, but the really big questions about this are going unasked and unanswered.
Will the vaccine be mandatory?
If so, how will it be physically enforced on those who want to opt out?
Will the right to work, go to school, worship, shop, travel, drive, and so on, become state-granted privileges dependent on certification of vaccination?
The answers to these questions could profoundly change the world we live in.
Here’s the clip of Arwady:
Chicago is among the largest cities in the U.S., therefore it is assured that other major cities are doing the same, so this really should come as no surprise. It does, however, dismiss all doubt that the mass vaccination campaigns are already in progress, indicating that government is fully invested in a vaccine as the solution to the pandemic problem.

The Elephant vs. the Virus

The Elephant vs. the Virus Like many of us I have been doing extensive reading on this plague and plagues that have come before .
Opinions abound , and in general fall into one of only two categories — opinions largely based on medical-technical grounds , and opinions based on largely political-ideological grounds .

The Elephant vs. the Virus
George L. Humphries, Guest
Waking Times
Like many of us I have been doing extensive reading on this plague and plagues that have come before.
Opinions abound, and in general fall into one of only two categories — opinions largely based on medical-technical grounds, and opinions based on largely political-ideological grounds.
In the month of March the weight of comments was decidedly towards medical opinions, and now the pendulum has swung back toward political opinions.I am not including economics in this bipolar matrix as that is closely connected to politics.
And of course, we have all become living room epidemiologists and economists.
The decisions made to mask and shutter were political decisions, heavily influenced by expert medical-technical advice at the highest levels, in turn influenced by ongoing experience in places where the hospitals and morgues were overflowing; any doubts as to the indicated course of action were overcome by rising body counts.
Now we are to the right of that boom, but the question remains as to how long we should remain covered and cloistered.
And again, to see and do or hide and recuse is a political decision, now still influenced by expert medical-technical advice at the highest levels, but also pressure from economists, industrialists, business owners great and small, and the man not-in-the-street but who wants to be. With a certain seasoning, just to bring out the taste, from Right rights advocates and the religious who seem unable to talk to their invisible Friend without the able assistance of the pastor, with his hand held out (and not to greet, in this case).
In the legal profession a goose egg would be drawn around all this and it would be labeled “Controversy.” Meaning the parties and their paid representatives would be given the opportunity to argue their points in court, and the side with the best argument would walk away the winners, while the other, losing side, would pay court costs, and any prize money that was specified in the original demand. Which would not mean that one side was “right,” merely that it won, by force of superior argument.
I would suggest that is what we have here, a controversy, with opposing arguments each with their own foundations. On one hand we have the primarily medical-technical arguments, and on the other, primarily political-ideological arguments, reinforced in this case with economic evidence.
Yep, people need to get back to work so they can have a paycheck, after that, “the economy needs to get going again,” which is similar but different.
However, I would like to add that there is something missing from all of this, and that is the unmentioned Elephant in the room that affects everything, and that is the under-girding Global, interlocking financial system.
Why is it that furloughed employees are squeezed by not being able to pay their bills?
Why is it that businesses are squeezed by not being able to pay their rents, loans and utilities?
Why is it that ministers of the economy of countries around the world are proposing to float huge bond initiatives to keep their peoples from starving, make public payrolls and pay interest on their national debts?
Amazing it is, that these supposedly powerful heads of state and captains of industry are so cowed as to not ask the begging question and propose the obvious solution — tell the (expletive deleted) bankers to (expletive deleted) off and stand the (expletive deleted) back while this plague is scything a human swathe, or pay the consequences, and not in money.
This is in essence what Iceland did when they got smacked by the effects of the 2008 Recession. In this, the tiny nation showed its true Viking spirit, while the rest of the governments in Europe allowed the financial crisis that originated in the US — not in the economy but in poorly regulated financial markets — to destroy lives, crater economies and create political chaos.
So to conclude, it makes no sense whatsoever to me that heads of state and legislators, supposedly elected to make things work, pull out their thinning hair trying to come up with and negotiate solutions, but are too timid to suggest that the financial dog sit on its haunches and wait for its bones, rather than wag the entire construct of western civilization, just because it can, and no one has the cojones to tell it no.
In other words, we could afford a longer quarantine if we chose to regulate and control the banksters, rather than continuing to permit the banksters to regulate and control all of us.

wakingtimes--2020-04-24--UN Food Agency Chief Warns Global Famine of “Biblical Proportions” Just Months Away

UN Food Agency Chief Warns Global Famine of “ Biblical Proportions ” Just Months Away David Beasley , director of the United Nations World Food Program , told the U.N. Security Council this week that the world is on “ the brink of a hunger pandemic ” and we could be facing “ multiple famines of biblical proportions within a short few months.

According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which was published this week , an additional 135 million people will be facing starvation by the end of the year .
“ In a worst-case scenario , we could be looking at famine in about three dozen countries , and in fact , in 10 of these countries we already have more than one million people per country who are on the verge of starvation , ” Beasley said .
“ There ’ s a real danger that more people could potentially die from the economic impact of COVID-19 than from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Beasley said that places like Haiti , Nepal , and Somalia , where a large number of families depend on income from overseas workers will be hit especially hard .
He urged world leaders to set aside their differences and slow down their military adventures to meet the current challenge .
Official address to the UN Security Council , 21 April Yesterday , I spoke to the United Nations Security Council on the significant effect that war and conflict have on driving hunger .
Millions of civilians living in conflict-scarred nations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being pushed to the brink of starvation .
With COVID-19 , I want to stress that we 're not only facing a global health pandemic , but also a global humanitarian catastrophe – a HUNGER pandemic.By the end of this year , 265 million people risk being on the verge of starvation .
While there are no famines yet , I warned UN Security Council members that if we don ’ t prepare and take action now , we could be facing multiple famines of biblical proportions within a few short months.I know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ act wisely , and we act NOW , we can stop this .
The actions we take , as a global community , will determine our success , or our failure.Watch my address to the UN Security Council below .

David Beasley, director of the United Nations World Food Program, told the U.N. Security Council this week that the world is on “the brink of a hunger pandemic” and we could be facing “multiple famines of biblical proportions within a short few months.”
Beasley warned that the world is facing “a perfect storm” due to the pandemic, economic crisis, locust swarms, and numerous wars that are still ongoing across the planet.
“It is critical we come together as one united global community to defeat this disease, and protect the most vulnerable nations and communities from its potentially devastating effects,” Beasley said.
According to the 2020 Global Report on Food Crisis, which was published this week, an additional 135 million people will be facing starvation by the end of the year.
“In a worst-case scenario, we could be looking at famine in about three dozen countries, and in fact, in 10 of these countries we already have more than one million people per country who are on the verge of starvation,” Beasley said. “There’s a real danger that more people could potentially die from the economic impact of COVID-19 than from the virus itself,” he added.
Beasley said that places like Haiti, Nepal, and Somalia, where a large number of families depend on income from overseas workers will be hit especially hard. He urged world leaders to set aside their differences and slow down their military adventures to meet the current challenge.

“We need all parties involved in conflicts to give us swift and unimpeded humanitarian access to all vulnerable communities, so they can get the assistance to them that they need, regardless of who they are or where they are. Supply chains have to keep moving if we are going to overcome this pandemic and get food from where it is produced to where it is needed,” he said.
Another concern is that countries will ban exports on certain important foods and medicines, which has already started to happen.
According to Bloomberg, Kazakhstan has banned exports of wheat flour, which is a major concern because the country is one of the world’s biggest producers. Meanwhile, Vietnam, the world’s third-largest exporter of rice, has temporarily suspended rice export contracts.
Politicians and business leaders have insisted that the supply chain is strong and that shelves will continue to be filled to meet the increasing demands at grocery stores. However, there is no doubt that there have been some supply chain disruptions to different parts of the global economy since the outbreak began.
There are also concerns that domestic supply chains will be disrupted if there are continued outbreaks among essential workers.
Last week, meat packaging plants across the U.S. were forced to close as hundreds of workers became sick with the virus. According to a new investigation by USA Today, meatpacking plants are acting as epicenters for the virus and causing further spread to neighboring communities.
According to the report, rates of infection around these meat packaging plants are higher than 75% of other counties in the country.

wakingtimes--2020-04-24--Social Distancing: the Rationale, the Insanity

Night in the city .
Empty streets .
A few masked pod people , wearing holstered spray bottles of disinfectants , wander subway platforms looking for the monster COVID… For the purposes of this article , I ’ m going to assume a unique and new virus , COVID-19 , was actually discovered .
I don ’ t agree it was , but let ’ s take a quick jaunt into the fun house with the CDC/WHO loons , whose logic went the way of the dodo bird many moons ago .
They eat the fear they provoke .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
How about an obvious strategy : make people immune as quickly as possible .
No lockdowns , no social distancing , no self-isolation .
Expose everyone to the virus .
In the old days , parents would hold parties for their children at the house of a child who had developed measles .
Let the kiddies get the red spots and be done with it .
Make them immune .
Of course , this accrued zero profit to pharma .
Therefore , the idea had to be discredited , and abandoned as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Ah , but COVID-19 is another story , right .
It ’ s deadly .
Read my previous articles on Italy , for example .
Their National Institute of Health , reviewing patient records carefully , determined that the overwhelming percentage of people dying who “ had the virus , ” weren ’ t dying FROM the virus , but from prior serious medical conditions .
Their average age ?
79.5 .
This is called a clue .
If you take the conventional medical view—again , entering their world for a minute—epidemics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and disappear .
Unless you actually sustain them by keeping people away from the virus .
Unless you keep them at a distance from each other .
Of course , if you really want to support complete medical insanity , you would declare national lockdowns every year when the flu arrives .
In a recent typical year , Italy reports about five million cases of the flu .
So isolate everyone and shut down the nation .
Ditto for many other countries .
Bring the whole planet to a halt .
And at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to open up civilization , you could switch your attention to , say , pneumonia , another universal disease , and claim it prevented you from letting people out of their houses .
In which case , keep the planet locked down , force everyone to live at home forever , and ultimately kill off the whole population .
This brings us to the matter of the human immune system and the trillions to the trillionth power of viruses that roam and inhabit Earth .
The immune system does quite well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t , we ’ d all be dead , many times over .
Pharma ’ s strategy is : reject the natural immune system .
Demand toxic vaccines to match every possible germ .
Rig case numbers to make it appear the germs are winning , along every front .
Saturate media with stories about medical conditions and train people to fear disease .
Pharma claims : there are many people whose immune systems are weak , and we must protect them by vaccinating everyone .
Newsflash : a person with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sick , no matter how physicians intervene to prevent it .
The names of germs don ’ t matter .
The only answer is , try to strengthen weak immunity in natural , non-medical ways .
Because , if you don ’ t , these people WILL become ill .
Among the MANY reasons ?
Toxic medical treatments , for instance , will definitely make them ill. Do a little research on your own .
Public health agencies , and even vaccine manufacturers , in their literature , admit that a contraindication for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But this fact doesn ’ t stop them from vaccinating millions of people in Third World countries who are already immunocompromised to the edge of a cliff .
That ’ s another clue .
It tells you something about the “ humanity ” of drug companies .
People in modern societies have a strange attitude about death .
I would call it a selective attitude .
On the one hand , they watch untold numbers of TV shows—both fact and fiction—that involve death .
They know people die .
They register mild @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when public health agents broadcast three sentences about a virus and death , these same people fold up .
They salute .
They fall to their knees and plead for help .
You could tell them that , according to the CDC , somewhere in the vicinity of 40,000 people in the US die every year from the flu , and you could keep repeating that over and over until you ’ re blue in the face , and you ’ d get zero response .
Nothing .
But if a media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and says 50 people in China have died from a new virus , these no-reaction people would stop what they ’ re doing and go shop for extra water and flamethrowers .
It ’ s magic .
Bad magic .
To use a highly technical term , it ’ s bullshit .
After a very large protest against the lockdowns in Harrisburg , Pennsylvania , the other day , a public health expert predicted a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases , because the crowd ignored social distancing .

“Where are the kids?” “They went out for a walk.” “Call the drone patrol.”
Night in the city. Empty streets. A few masked pod people, wearing holstered spray bottles of disinfectants, wander subway platforms looking for the monster COVID…
For the purposes of this article, I’m going to assume a unique and new virus, COVID-19, was actually discovered.
I don’t agree it was, but let’s take a quick jaunt into the fun house with the CDC/WHO loons, whose logic went the way of the dodo bird many moons ago. They eat the fear they provoke. That’s all they’ve got.
How about an obvious strategy: make people immune as quickly as possible. No lockdowns, no social distancing, no self-isolation. Expose everyone to the virus.
Naturally. Not via a vaccine.
In the old days, parents would hold parties for their children at the house of a child who had developed measles. Let the kiddies get the red spots and be done with it. Make them immune. Of course, this accrued zero profit to pharma. Therefore, the idea had to be discredited, and abandoned as too dangerous. Must have a vaccine.
Ah, but COVID-19 is another story, right. It’s deadly.
Really?
Read my previous articles on Italy, for example. Their National Institute of Health, reviewing patient records carefully, determined that the overwhelming percentage of people dying who “had the virus,” weren’t dying FROM the virus, but from prior serious medical conditions. Their average age? 79.5. This is called a clue.
If you take the conventional medical view—again, entering their world for a minute—epidemics reach a peak and then burn out and disappear. Unless you actually sustain them by keeping people away from the virus. Unless you keep them at a distance from each other.
Of course, if you really want to support complete medical insanity, you would declare national lockdowns every year when the flu arrives. In a recent typical year, Italy reports about five million cases of the flu. So isolate everyone and shut down the nation. Ditto for many other countries.
Bring the whole planet to a halt.
And at those brief periods when you’d want to open up civilization, you could switch your attention to, say, pneumonia, another universal disease, and claim it prevented you from letting people out of their houses. In which case, keep the planet locked down, force everyone to live at home forever, and ultimately kill off the whole population.
This brings us to the matter of the human immune system and the trillions to the trillionth power of viruses that roam and inhabit Earth. The immune system does quite well, on its own. If it didn’t, we’d all be dead, many times over.
Pharma’s strategy is: reject the natural immune system. Demand toxic vaccines to match every possible germ. Rig case numbers to make it appear the germs are winning, along every front. Saturate media with stories about medical conditions and train people to fear disease.
Pharma claims: there are many people whose immune systems are weak, and we must protect them by vaccinating everyone. Newsflash: a person with a weakened immune system is going to become sick, no matter how physicians intervene to prevent it. The names of germs don’t matter. The only answer is, try to strengthen weak immunity in natural, non-medical ways. Because, if you don’t, these people WILL become ill. Among the MANY reasons? Toxic medical treatments, for instance, will definitely make them ill. Do a little research on your own. Public health agencies, and even vaccine manufacturers, in their literature, admit that a contraindication for vaccination, is: weakened immune system. But this fact doesn’t stop them from vaccinating millions of people in Third World countries who are already immunocompromised to the edge of a cliff.
That’s another clue. It tells you something about the “humanity” of drug companies.
People in modern societies have a strange attitude about death. I would call it a selective attitude. On the one hand, they watch untold numbers of TV shows—both fact and fiction—that involve death. They know people die. They register mild reactions. But on the other hand, when public health agents broadcast three sentences about a virus and death, these same people fold up. They salute. They fall to their knees and plead for help. You could tell them that, according to the CDC, somewhere in the vicinity of 40,000 people in the US die every year from the flu, and you could keep repeating that over and over until you’re blue in the face, and you’d get zero response. Nothing. But if a media flack for the CDC goes on television and says 50 people in China have died from a new virus, these no-reaction people would stop what they’re doing and go shop for extra water and flamethrowers. It’s magic. Bad magic. To use a highly technical term, it’s bullshit.
After a very large protest against the lockdowns in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the other day, a public health expert predicted a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, because the crowd ignored social distancing. I, on the other hand, predict a rise in the amount of crapola science and preposterous computer modeling.
“The kids went outside when we told them not to. What do we do?” “We were going to let them out after three weeks. Let’s make it a month. That’ll teach them a lesson.” “Good. Where can we publish our decision?” “I suggest the New England Journal. I’m sure they’ll be interested, if we dress up the language.” “A new computer model?” “You bet.” “Where will we find it?” “You’re kidding, right? I have six on my laptop. For all occasions. Give me a minute. I’ll find the most frightening one.” “Has the sun gone down yet? Can I climb out of my coffin? Can I change into my tuxedo and cape?”
