Dissociated Press
At a joint White House press conference this morning, Bill Gates and Donald Trump announced that the Gates Foundation has acquired the bankrupt United States Government (USG) for pennies on the dollar and launched a new emergency initiative to address the coronavirus crisis.
Trump explained that the first act of the new United States of Bill and Melinda Gates will be signature legislation to “make America great again through better health and shared prosperity.” The president added that a bipartisan Trump-Gates coalition has introduced legislation to jump-start America’s stalled economy:
HR666-666, the Back-to Work America! Helping Americans Help Americans (BWAHAHA) bill, creates a new agency called BWAHAHA and provides unlimited funding for hiring millions of super-spreaders and contact tracers to help the nation quickly return to full employment.
Snatching the microphone out of Trump’s hands before the president could say something really stupid, Gates explained that thousands of super-spreaders will be hired to make sure the coronavirus crisis continues long enough to justify the hiring of millions of contact tracers tasked with prying into the intimate details of every American’s private life, including who they have had sex with, when and where they have farted and who was close enough to smell it, and whether any of their Facebook friends ever posted anything questioning big pharma’s line on vaccines.
Gates said the super-spreaders will be paid in excess of $100,000 per year due to the hazardous nature of their work. They will report for duty at the Germ Warfare Division of USAMRIID at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, where they will be infected with coronavirus and tasked with traveling across America, seeking out gatherings of people and coughing and sneezing on as many individuals as possible. The super-spreaders will be paid bonuses based on how many people they manage to infect.
“And that is where the contact tracers come in,” Gates explained. “They will kick in — I mean knock on — the doors of everyone who has ever come near a super-spreader (which we’ll know from phone data) asking obnoxiously prying questions while jabbing swabs into their victims’ nostrils and ramming them home deep into the most intimate recesses of their brains. Anyone who tests positive for coronavirus will be removed from their homes and forced into permanent isolation in a Soylent Green factory, where hard-working immigrants in Texas Chainsaw Massacre masks will be paid minimum wage to help America’s meat industry get back on track.”
Gates explained that by the time a coronavirus vaccine comes on line next year, much of the depopulation the virus was designed for will have already been accomplished. “So the universal vaccination campaign we’re planning will actually just be a mopping-up operation,” Gates said. “We’ll only have to kill off a few more tens of millions before we reach our target. At that point the only people left will be working for us—and they won’t get uppity, since they’ll be chipped, tracked, and subject to satellite-based punishment beams if they even think of casting a sidewise glance in their masters’ direction.” The result: A glorious future of social harmony and full employment.
Meanwhile, at a press conference deep in the bowels of hell, the Antichrist announced that he will be suing the sponsors of HR666-666 for trademark infringement.

Humans and Neanderthals May Have Overlapped in Europe Longer Than Previously Thought
by Alex Fox/Smithsonianmag.com
Modern humans overlapped with Neanderthals in Europe for longer than previously thought, according to new research. Remains of Homo sapiens found in a Bulgarian cave are roughly 44,000 to 46,000 years old, making them the oldest directly dated remains of modern humans in Europe, reports Bruce Bower for Science News.
Neanderthals were stocky, cold-adapted hominins who lived throughout Europe and as far east as Siberia until around 40,000 years ago, reports Nicola Davis for the Guardian. Traces of Neanderthals live on in modern human DNA, suggesting that our species and theirs met and interbred, but how long the two groups overlapped is unclear.
Other human remains previously discovered in the United Kingdom and Italy have been dated to between 41,000 and 45,000 years ago, but their ages were measured indirectly, relying on the fossils’ archaeological and geological surroundings rather than the specimens themselves, reported Jonathon Amos for BBC News in 2011.
The direct dating of these newly unearthed remains from the Bacho Kiro Cave in northern Bulgaria comes from two sources: radiocarbon dating and DNA extracted from a tooth and six shards of bone identified as belonging to H. sapiens. Both methods dated the remains to around 44,000 to 46,000 years ago, the researchers report in two papers published in the journals Nature Ecology & Evolution and Nature.

–
There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust ”. This is an unhelpful statement, but also a shocking indictment of an agency that was once regarded as the gold standard for global disease detection and control. How did an agency that was the first point of contact for many national health authorities facing a public health threat become so ill-prepared to protect the public’s health?

A Plague from Harvard

“ Practically speaking , government might do well to maintain a more vigorous countermisinformation establishment.
” –Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule Goldsmith writes “ These constitutional limits [ i.e.

” Ah yes , he maintains , the U.S. Constitution interferes with government ’ s potential desire to invade privacy and to control mass freedom of expression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for out own good , Silicon Valley giants identify and block “ misinformation ” .
Furthermore , he adds , “ [ T ] he government has been in the shadows of these developments , nudging them along and exploiting them when it can.

In time, the contents became known to a shocked public, because the authors, to summarize, recommended that citizen groups failing to believe official accounts of events should be covertly penetrated by governmental agents who would then work to bring opinion into line with that desired by the government.
They called the strategy “cognitive infiltration” and wrote that “conspiracy theorists”, which they equated with “extremists”, suffer from “crippled epistemology”, “cognitive blunders”, even forms of mental illness. To make contact in order to rehabilitate disillusioned citizens, the authors suggested that “Government agents … might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories.” Sunstein, ironically, lists an area of particular interest as “constitutional law”.

New Zealand edges back to normal after quashing coronavirus in 49 days
by Anna Fifield/the Washington Post
Wellington: Running the meeting was Jacinda Ardern, the liberal prime minister who has won international renown for her empathetic leadership during the global coronavirus pandemic. Next to her was Winston Peters, the wily politician almost twice her age who heads the populist party in the coalition government.
The cabinet faced a momentous decision. New Zealand had been in almost complete lockdown for 46 days, a step the government mandated when the country had only 100 coronavirus cases but modeling showed it was on a trajectory similar to Italy’s. The stringent measures — only essential work and grocery store and medical trips for the first five weeks, then two weeks when noncontact businesses could open — had worked. Just 21 people, all of them over 60, had died. A couple of cases, at most, were being detected each day, and all were linked to known clusters. Read More:

BGU’s Prof. Gabby Sarusi (pictured below) has developed and is now validating a test that identifies carriers of the COVID-19 virus in less than a minute with greater than 90% accuracy and at a dramatically lower price than any other method available. Clinical trials in conjunction with the Defense Ministry on more than 120 Israelis had a better than 90% success rate compared to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests. The ongoing trials will seek to determine if the test can identify the specific stage of COVID-19 infection as well as its presence.
“Right from the beginning of the trials, we received statistically significant results in line with our simulations and PCR tests,” says Prof. Sarusi, deputy head for research at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a faculty member of the Electro-Optical Engineering Unit at BGU.
“We are continuing clinical trials and will compare samples from COVID-19 patients with samples from patients with other diseases to see if we can identify the different stages of the COVID-19 infection,” according to Sarusi.

FBI no longer trusted? Spy agencies to take over US election security briefings
…from PressTV, Tehran
[ Editor’s Note: The battle for the Trump administration to cut off any attempts of US intelligence keeping an eye on Trump operatives’ questionable activities despite what many consider more than a whiff of corruption in their ranks, is now fully joined.
An election loss would not only expose Trump to unfettered investigations that are already in progress, but could open the door to possibly many others that have been thrown in with the concept of total immunity, which Trump seems to be so fond off.
He appears to be stacking both the law enforcement divisions and the intelligence ones to make sure he has complete political control of them. Such an administrative coup could enable a sitting president to protect supporters involved in illegal activities where a finger could be put on the scales of justice on their behalf.
We are heading into an election like no other in modern history, with the stakes never higher, which many would view as government for the people potentially being replaced by government for the mobsters.
The two thousand former Dept. of Justice people went public this past week in their letter demanding Attorney General Barr resign for what they view as his overt politicization of the Department of Justice. This was a powerful message, because it was a bipartisan group that had served both Democratic and Republican administrations.
An unscrupulous president in a position to put ringers into all the key Intel slots would give himself the power to help or punish those he disliked by abusing agency resources on the taxpayers’ tab. At least NCSC Director Bill Evanina, who will be doing the briefings, is not another “acting” director, as he was overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate earlier this month.
I suspect this could become a key issue by election time, if not already. It’s going to be a long hot summer, with more surprises to come… Jim W. Dean ]

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has reassigned the job of counterintelligence briefings to US political campaigns and candidates from the FBI, presumably over the misconduct during the 2016 election.
Going forward, all intelligence-based threat briefings to “candidates, campaigns and political organizations” will be provided by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, the acting head of ODNI Richard Grenell announced on Friday.
The announcement went almost unnoticed in Washington until pointed out by filmmaker Mike Cernovich, who said it amounted to “a polite way of saying that the FBI is no longer trusted.”

HUGE. The FBI will no longer be giving intelligence-based threat briefings to candidates, those briefings will now be handled by the U.S. Intelligence Community. This is a polite way of saying that the FBI is no longer trusted. pic.twitter.com/ywTxjbgb2T — Cernovich (@Cernovich) May 15, 2020
The change is but the latest reform Grenell has pushed through at the ODNI since he took over as acting chief in February. It follows last week’s revelations that the FBI sought to entrap President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn after the 2016 election, first getting him fired from the White House and then improperly prosecuted for perjury.
Previously, the DOJ inspector-general found that the FBI sought to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016 while using counterintelligence “defensive briefings” as cover, and obtained four FISA warrants to do so based mainly on the fraudulent “pee tape” dossier compiled by British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.
At the time, the FBI, CIA and the ODNI provided fuel and cover for Democrat accusations that Trump had “colluded” with Russia to win the election, which have since been shown as entirely unfounded.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security will still work with the intelligence community to “identify and integrate threat information,” but the task of briefing candidates and campaigns will be entrusted to NCSC Director Bill Evanina, overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate earlier this month.
Evanina “will act swiftly to deliver the timely and thorough assessments to those affected by potential malicious influence,” the ODNI said, describing the change as an “important improvement and simplification” of the current process.
Congressman John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) has been nominated to take over as permanent ODNI director, but his Senate confirmation is still pending.
