activistpost--2020-05-23--Unsentimental Journey:  Timeline Details Fading Freedoms and the Pandemic Speeding Up the Process

The pandemic has been a difficult and confusing time for a large percentage of the population worldwide .
At the same time , how difficult and confusing has varied significantly depending on where you live and the lawmakers in charge .
It ’ s only natural that many theories have been floating around since the “ facts ” and the “ stats ” keep changing .
Additionally , much of what is being reported doesn ’ t always make sense .
Because of this , people are becoming more skeptical .
Why wouldn ’ t they ?
Although some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to compare this current pandemic to the “ Spanish Flu ” of 100+ years ago – there seem to be many eerie similarities with the “ Swine Flu ” shenanigans of the 1970s .
Thanks to Children ’ s Health Defense for creating this timeline which provides some very unsavory details of what brought us to where we are today .
A Timeline—Pandemic and Erosion of Freedoms Have Been Decades in the Making From the moment of “ COVID-19 ’ s ” naming—and particularly since the imposition of unprecedented restrictions on “ life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” —some people have smelled a rat .
And with each passing week , the smell becomes worse .
A growing chorus of ordinary citizens and world-renowned medical and scientific experts is raising questions about matters ranging from the coronavirus ’ s origins to the rationale for continued lockdowns ( see here , here and here ) .
The mainstream media have shown themselves only too ready to lob attacks against any and all such non-conformists .
However , one does not have to be insensitive to the illness and deaths associated with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2 .
Citizens are waking up to the fact that the countries , officials and public figures who embrace draconian interventions such as immunity certificates , microchipping , forced vaccination and the removal of children from their homes also approve of making our sovereign rights—whether to earn a living , maintain bodily integrity , congregate to practice our spirituality , enjoy the arts or protect and educate our children—contingent upon our acceptance of these Big Brother measures and technologies .
To make it easier for the public to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at stake , Children ’ s Health Defense has put together the following timeline of selected events .
We invite readers to consider how these events—some of them seemingly unrelated—and the network of partnerships and relationships that they illustrate have contributed to the unfolding set of circumstances in which we now find ourselves .
While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy , it is an opportunity for Gates ” and his billionaire brotherhood… Gain-of-function research : COVID-19 has prompted renewed questioning about a long-debated branch of virology that , around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gain-of-function ” ( GOF ) research .
GOF experiments seek to generate viruses “ with properties that do not exist in nature ” or , stated another way , “ alter a pathogen to make it more transmissible or deadly.
” One of the leading proponents of GOF work is Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill ( UNC ) , a “ legend in coronavirology ” and “ trailblazer of synthetic genomic manipulation techniques ” who specializes in engineering lethal coronaviruses from “ mail-order DNA.
” Baric and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viral tinkering is “ critical to the development of broad-based vaccines and therapeutics , ” but critics , such as Dr. Thomas Inglesby ( director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security ) , dispute this putative benefit .
Big Data and Big Telecom : Children ’ s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. and Dafna Tachover ( director of CHD ’ s “ Stop 5G and Wireless Harms Project ” ) wrote on May 8 : “ 5G has almost nothing to do with improving your lives ; it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , marketing products , and harvesting your data for Artificial Intelligence purposes .
The 21st century ’ s ‘ black gold ’ is data.
” They note that Bill Gates , along with a number of other players and companies , is helping set up a “ microwave radiation-emitting spider web [ that ] will allow Big Data/Big Telecom and Big Brother to capture what happens inside and outside every person at every moment of life ” using a sinister brain-machine interface and other technologies , many financed by Gates .
In short @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cataclysm for the world economy , it is an opportunity for Gates ” and his billionaire brotherhood , ably assisted by an unadmirable fleet of medical and scientist yes-men .

The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus , and therefore make genetic modifications to it .
October 28 : A paper by the Baric research group at UNC describes their synthetic recreation of the “ previously undescribed ” SARS coronavirus .
( Writing in 2020 , a scientist states , “ The speed of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus , and therefore make genetic modifications to it .
Moreover , that was back in 2003 .
Today , a qualified laboratory can repeat those steps in a matter of weeks.

” The funding hiatus applies to 21 studies “ reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza , MERS , or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and/or transmissibility in mammals via the respiratory route.
” NIH later allows 10 of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hese data and restrictions represent a crossroads of [ gain-of-function ] research concerns ; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens .
2015 : NIAID , under Fauci , awards a five-year , $ 3.7 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance ( whose director gets credit on subsequent publications for “ funding acquisition ” rather than scientific work ) to conduct gain-of-function studies on the “ risk of bat coronavirus emergence.
” Ten percent of the award goes to the Wuhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bulk of the on-the-ground sample collection and analysis.
” September 24 : UNC ’ s Ralph Baric is granted a patent for the creation of chimeric coronavirus spike proteins .

The pandemic has been a difficult and confusing time for a large percentage of the population worldwide. At the same time, how difficult and confusing has varied significantly depending on where you live and the lawmakers in charge.
It’s only natural that many theories have been floating around since the “facts” and the “stats” keep changing. Additionally, much of what is being reported doesn’t always make sense. Because of this, people are becoming more skeptical. Why wouldn’t they?
Although some of the “powers that be” continue to compare this current pandemic to the “Spanish Flu” of 100+ years ago – there seem to be many eerie similarities with the “Swine Flu” shenanigans of the 1970s.
Thanks to Children’s Health Defense for creating this timeline which provides some very unsavory details of what brought us to where we are today.
A Timeline—Pandemic and Erosion of Freedoms Have Been Decades in the Making
By the Children’s Health Defense Team
From the moment of “COVID-19’s” naming—and particularly since the imposition of unprecedented restrictions on “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”—some people have smelled a rat. And with each passing week, the smell becomes worse. A growing chorus of ordinary citizens and world-renowned medical and scientific experts is raising questions about matters ranging from the coronavirus’s origins to the rationale for continued lockdowns (see here, here and here).
The mainstream media have shown themselves only too ready to lob ad hominem attacks against any and all such non-conformists. However, one does not have to be insensitive to the illness and deaths associated with COVID-19 to recognize that powerful agendas are riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2. Citizens are waking up to the fact that the countries, officials and public figures who embrace draconian interventions such as immunity certificates, microchipping, forced vaccination and the removal of children from their homes also approve of making our sovereign rights—whether to earn a living, maintain bodily integrity, congregate to practice our spirituality, enjoy the arts or protect and educate our children—contingent upon our acceptance of these Big Brother measures and technologies.
To make it easier for the public to assess what is happening and what is at stake, Children’s Health Defense has put together the following timeline of selected events. We invite readers to consider how these events—some of them seemingly unrelated—and the network of partnerships and relationships that they illustrate have contributed to the unfolding set of circumstances in which we now find ourselves.
While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy, it is an opportunity for Gates” and his billionaire brotherhood…
Notes/Explanatory Context
Gain-of-function research: COVID-19 has prompted renewed questioning about a long-debated branch of virology that, around 2012, scientists benignly rebranded as “gain-of-function” (GOF) research. GOF experiments seek to generate viruses “with properties that do not exist in nature” or, stated another way, “alter a pathogen to make it more transmissible or deadly.” One of the leading proponents of GOF work is Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC), a “legend in coronavirology” and “trailblazer of synthetic genomic manipulation techniques” who specializes in engineering lethal coronaviruses from “mail-order DNA.” Baric and other GOF enthusiasts argue that this type of viral tinkering is “critical to the development of broad-based vaccines and therapeutics,” but critics, such as Dr. Thomas Inglesby (director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security), dispute this putative benefit.
Big Data and Big Telecom: Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dafna Tachover (director of CHD’s “Stop 5G and Wireless Harms Project”) wrote on May 8: “5G has almost nothing to do with improving your lives; it’s all about controlling your life, marketing products, and harvesting your data for Artificial Intelligence purposes. The 21st century’s ‘black gold’ is data.” They note that Bill Gates, along with a number of other players and companies, is helping set up a “microwave radiation-emitting spider web [that] will allow Big Data/Big Telecom and Big Brother to capture what happens inside and outside every person at every moment of life” using a sinister brain-machine interface and other technologies, many financed by Gates. In short, “While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy, it is an opportunity for Gates” and his billionaire brotherhood, ably assisted by an unadmirable fleet of medical and scientist yes-men.
Timeline of selected events
1998
May 18: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 20 states file antitrust charges against Microsoft.
2000
2000: Bill Gates steps down from his position as Microsoft CEO, and Bill and Melinda Gates launch their eponymous foundation.
2000: The Gates Foundation (along with other partners) launches the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), known today as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The foundation has given $4.1 billion to Gavi over the past 20 years.
2001
November: After initially losing the antitrust lawsuit and appealing the decision, Microsoft settles its case with the DOJ out of court.
2002
November 2002: University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC) researcher Ralph Baric publishes a “breakthrough work” in gain-of-function research (studies that alter pathogens to make them more transmissible or deadly, see Notes above), describing the creation of a synthetic clone of a natural mouse coronavirus.
November 2002: China’s Guangdong province reports the first case of “atypical pneumonia” (later labeled as SARS).
The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus, and therefore make genetic modifications to it.
2003
October 28: A paper by the Baric research group at UNC describes their synthetic recreation of the “previously undescribed” SARS coronavirus. (Writing in 2020, a scientist states, “The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus, and therefore make genetic modifications to it. Moreover, that was back in 2003. Today, a qualified laboratory can repeat those steps in a matter of weeks.”)
2005
December: Congress approves the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “to issue a PREP Act Declaration . . . that provides immunity from liability for any loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats, and conditions determined in the Declaration to constitute a present or credible risk of a future public health emergency.”
2009
2009-present (and earlier): The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awards millions of dollars in global health funding to Imperial College London; funding covers areas such as polio, HIV, family planning, malaria, health care delivery, agricultural development, information technology and “public awareness and analysis.”
2009: The Gates Foundation funds human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine trials in India, administering the vaccine to 23,000 young girls in remote provinces. Seven die and approximately 1,200 suffer autoimmune conditions, fertility disorders or other severe reactions. Ethical violations include forged consent forms and refusal of medical treatment for the injured girls.
October 2009: Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), goes on YouTube to declare that serious adverse events for the H1N1 influenza vaccine are “very, very, very rare.” Months later, serious adverse events such as miscarriages, narcolepsy and febrile convulsions explode in multiple countries.
2010
January: Bill Gates pledges $10 billion in funding for the World Health Organization (WHO) and announces “the Decade of Vaccines.”
May 18: Senator and physician Tom Coburn calls out Dr. Fauci for misleadingly touting “significant progress in HIV vaccine research”—research that has ushered millions into NIAID’s coffers. Dr. Coburn stated, “Most scientists involved in AIDS research believe that an HIV vaccine is further away than ever.”
2011
December 30: Dr. Fauci promotes gain-of-function research on bird flu viruses, arguing that the research is worth the risk. The risks worry other “seasoned researchers.”
2012
April 20: Baylor College researchers publish their evaluation of four vaccine candidates for SARS, concluding that “Caution in proceeding to application of a SARS-CoV vaccine in humans is indicated.”
May: The 194 Member States of the World Health Assembly endorse the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with NIAID, WHO, Gavi, UNICEF and others. Dr. Fauci is one of five members on the GVAP’s Leadership Council.
2014
2014: Dr. Deborah Birx takes the helm of PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), which Dr. Fauci helped launch (in 2003) and which benefits from generous Gates Foundation support. Birx and Fauci are long-time allies, having worked together during the early years of AIDS and sharing overlapping career paths.
October 7: National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins announces a “new phase of cooperation” between NIH and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including partnering for vaccine development.
October 17: Under President Obama, the NIH halts federal funding for gain-of-function (GOF) research (see Notes) and asks federally funded GOF researchers to “agree to a voluntary moratorium.” The funding hiatus applies to 21 studies “reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS, or SARS viruses such that the virus would have enhanced pathogenicity and/or transmissibility in mammals via the respiratory route.” NIH later allows 10 of the studies to resume.
[T]hese data and restrictions represent a crossroads of [gain-of-function] research concerns; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens.
2015
2015: NIAID, under Fauci, awards a five-year, $3.7 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance (whose director gets credit on subsequent publications for “funding acquisition” rather than scientific work) to conduct gain-of-function studies on the “risk of bat coronavirus emergence.” Ten percent of the award goes to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which does “the bulk of the on-the-ground sample collection and analysis.”
September 24: UNC’s Ralph Baric is granted a patent for the creation of chimeric coronavirus spike proteins.
November 9: Baric and the Wuhan Institute’s Shi Zheng-Li (the leading GOF coronavirus researcher in China) publish what some refer to as “the most famous gain-of-function virology paper” (in Nature Medicine), describing their creation of a synthetic chimeric coronavirus. The authors state: “[T]hese data and restrictions represent a crossroads of GOF research concerns; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens [emphasis added]. In developing policies moving forward, it is important to consider the value of the data generated by these studies and whether these types of chimeric virus studies warrant further investigation versus the inherent risks involved.”
2016
2016: The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity states that “very few government-funded gain-of-function experiments [pose] a significant threat to public health.”
…researchers blame the Gates-funded polio vaccination campaign for almost half a million cases of childhood paralysis.
2017
February 8: The Modi administration in India severs ties with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, after researchers blame the Gates-funded polio vaccination campaign for almost half a million cases of childhood paralysis.
November 30: Shi Zheng-Li and coauthors publish a paper in PLoS Pathogens describing the creation of eight new synthetic coronaviruses.
December 19: The NIH and Dr. Fauci’s NIAID restore federal funding for gain-of-function research, ending the moratorium that began in October 2014.
December 19: Dr. Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard School of Public Health tells the New York Times that the type of gain-of-function experiments endorsed by Dr. Fauci’s NIAID have “done almost nothing to improve our preparedness for pandemics, and yet risked creating an accidental pandemic.”
NIAID awards a six-year renewal grant of $3.7 million to EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology to continue their gain-of-function studies on bat coronaviruses.
2019
2019: NIAID awards a six-year renewal grant of $3.7 million to EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology to continue their gain-of-function studies on bat coronaviruses. The renewal is approved “unusually quickly,” receiving a “really extremely high priority for funding.”
August 14: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) records show that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation owns 5.3 million shares of Crown Castle International Corp., representing the Foundation’s second largest tech holding after Microsoft. Crown Castle dominates ownership of 5G infrastructure throughout the U.S., including cell towers, small cell nodes and fiber.
October: A report released by NBC News in May, 2020 declares, “The analysis of commercial telemetry data in Wuhan suggests the COVID-19 pandemic began earlier than initially reported” and “supports the release of COVID-19 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” NBC’s May 8 summary states, “there was no cellphone activity in a high-security portion of the Wuhan Institute of Virology from Oct. 7 through Oct. 24, 2019, and that there may have been a ‘hazardous event’ sometime between Oct. 6 and Oct. 11.”
October 6: On May 5, 2020, British and French researchers publish a study estimating that COVID-19 could have started as early as October 6, 2019.
October 18: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security convene an invitation-only “tabletop exercise” called Event 201 to map out the response to a hypothetical global coronavirus pandemic.

Stop the conveyor belt
Around the world, many people are understandably reeling in shock at the rapid economic, social and cultural changes that have followed in the wake of the phenomenon called “COVID-19.” Many of these changes involve ever-tighter restrictions on our rights and freedoms, accompanied by inexorable messaging—both public and subliminal—that a “vaccine for all” and 24/7 tracking and surveillance are the only way out. Increasingly, however, there are hopeful signs that more members of the public are recognizing the duplicity and self-interest of those offering false salvation. Each of us needs to do our part to expose these issues, standing up for individual sovereignty and working to halt the transition “to a totalitarian singularity more despotic than Orwell ever imagined.”

activistpost--2020-05-23--Bill Gates’ Web of Dark Money and Influence – Part 1: Philanthropic Narrative Shaping

In the first few months of 2020 , business tycoon and billionaire Bill Gates saw his popularity soar through the roof .
According to YouGov , 58 percent of Americans polled about Gates had a positive opinion of him , he is equally liked by men and women , and both Boomers and Millennials adore him .
Gates ’ popularity might have increased due to a viral Netflix documentary about his life being released in late 2019 .
Combine that positive press with a wave of media interviews seeking the guidance of the man who “ predicted ” the next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates is a superhero here to save the planet from impending doom .
Of course , this rather cartoonish view ignores several incontrovertible facts , and a few strong theories regarding Gates ’ true intentions .
First , the facts .
Bill Gates has used his immense wealth to garner influence and media time , spreading his message of fixing global health issues while he continues to make billions .
Using the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to dole out grants and donations , Gates has created a web of organizations who owe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ directly to Gates .
By tracing the Foundation ’ s investments and Gates ’ relationships we can see that nearly every person involved in the fight against COVID-19 is tied to Gates or his Foundation by two degrees or less .
This gives Bill Gates and his Foundation an unchallenged influence over the response to the pandemic .
Equally worrisome is Gates ’ call for global lock down until the entire world has been vaccinated and given a digital certificate to prove immunity .
Now , the theories : when taking a careful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Gates , it becomes clear that he has a penchant for discussing reducing population growth .
Despite “ fact checkers ” claiming Gates ’ words have been taken out of context , his words speak for themselves .
He believes the population should be reduced or prevented from growing , and he believes this can be done with vaccines and healthcare .
As we attempt to peel back the layers of PR stunts and puff pieces fawning over Bill Gates , we hope to illustrate that the man being propped up on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people as their savior , is anything but .
Despite the apparent growth in support for Bill Gates , there is also evidence on social media that people are beginning to question him and challenge the savior narrative .
This is the first step in unraveling Bill Gates ’ Web of Dark Money and Manipulation .
The Global Influence of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation In 1994 , the story goes , Bill Gates asked his father , William Gates Sr. , to help him “ improve reproductive and child health ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates Foundation .
Gates Sr. agreed and by 2000 , the Foundation was merged with the Gates Learning Foundation to become the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .
According to the Foundation , Bill Gates has donated $ 36 billion of his personal wealth to the foundation .
The Foundation is estimated to be valued at $ 46.8 billion .
For the last two decades the Foundation has invested in a range of controversial companies and projects while pursuing their goal of improving global health and access to vaccines and reproductive care .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Gates ’ plan to reshape his public image as that of a friendly and kind billionaire whose only aim is to help the world .
The reality is much more suspect .
Let ’ s take , for example , the Netflix documentary mentioned above , Inside Bill ’ s Brain : Decoding Bill Gates .
Rather than being a genuine look at the life and personality of Gates , the documentary failed to acknowledge conflicts of interest which might portray the film – and Bill Gates – in a different light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reach of Gates ’ money , The Nation noted that , “ in the first episode , director Davis Guggenheim underlines Gates ’ s expansive intellect by interviewing Bernie Noe , described as a friend of Gates.
” Noe goes on to tell of Gates reading 150 pages an hour with 90 percent retention .
However , The Nation reported , “ Guggenheim doesn ’ t tell audiences that Noe is the principal of Lakeside School , a private institution to which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has given $ 80 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same school that the Gates ’ children attend .
Of course , using the Foundation ’ s wealth to influence media coverage is not new for Bill Gates .
Although The Guardian claims editorial independence , their Global Development section is funded in part by The Gates Foundation .
The Foundation has also given more than $ 9 million to The Guardian , over $ 3 million to NBC Universal , over $ 4 million to French newspaper Le Monde , over $ 4.5 million to NPR , $ 1 million to Al-Jazeera @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BBC ’ s Media Action program .
In light of these investments it ’ s easy to understand how Gates could quickly organize a speaking tour of his favorite media outlets .
Corporate media outlets are not the only beneficiaries of the Gates Foundation .
They have also invested in controversial technologies and companies , including Monsanto , geoengineering , 5G technology , and vaccines .
MintPress News recently reported on how the Gates Foundation helped highly controversial pharmaceutical and chemical giant Monsanto Corporation “ gain a stronger foothold in Africa.
” MPN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ flawed clinical trial of the HPV vaccine in India in 2009 , where 23,000 impoverished girls aged 9-15 were exposed to potentially lethal drugs without even their parents ’ consent , leading to seven deaths.
” In 2010 , it was also reported that since 2007 , Gates had given $ 4.5 million to study geoengineering methods for altering the stratosphere to reflect solar energy , techniques to filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere , and brightening ocean clouds .
Geoengineering is the deliberate mass scale manipulation of the weather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the planet .
The Guardian previously noted that Gates gives “ an undisclosed sum ” to geoengineering proponent and Harvard professor David Keith .
Gates also owns majority stake in Keith ’ s geoengineering company , Carbon Engineering .
Prominent geoengineering researcher Ken Caldeira says he receives $ 375,000 a year from Gates and works for Intellectual Ventures , a private geoengineering research company part-owned by Gates and run by Nathan Myhrvold , former head of technology at Microsoft .
The Foundation has also invested $ 10 million towards developing antennas which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5th generation cellular technology , otherwise known as 5G .
The concerns around Bill Gates fortune and his use of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to influence pet projects is not the only worry expressed by critics of the Foundation .
The larger – and more immediate – is that unelected billionaires like Gates are using their fortunes to shape public policy using their philanthropic foundations .
This method of investing billions of dollars in the form of tax-deductible charity donations to private companies is allowing Gates to shape policy and profit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supported by the Gates Foundation .

By Derrick Broze
In the first few months of 2020, business tycoon and billionaire Bill Gates saw his popularity soar through the roof. According to YouGov, 58 percent of Americans polled about Gates had a positive opinion of him, he is equally liked by men and women, and both Boomers and Millennials adore him. Gates’ popularity might have increased due to a viral Netflix documentary about his life being released in late 2019. Combine that positive press with a wave of media interviews seeking the guidance of the man who “predicted” the next major pandemic, and voila – Bill Gates is a superhero here to save the planet from impending doom.
Of course, this rather cartoonish view ignores several incontrovertible facts, and a few strong theories regarding Gates’ true intentions. First, the facts. Bill Gates has used his immense wealth to garner influence and media time, spreading his message of fixing global health issues while he continues to make billions. Using the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to dole out grants and donations, Gates has created a web of organizations who owe their budget to the Foundation or answer directly to Gates. By tracing the Foundation’s investments and Gates’ relationships we can see that nearly every person involved in the fight against COVID-19 is tied to Gates or his Foundation by two degrees or less. This gives Bill Gates and his Foundation an unchallenged influence over the response to the pandemic. Equally worrisome is Gates’ call for global lock down until the entire world has been vaccinated and given a digital certificate to prove immunity.
Now, the theories: when taking a careful listen to several speeches and statements made by Gates, it becomes clear that he has a penchant for discussing reducing population growth. Despite “fact checkers” claiming Gates’ words have been taken out of context, his words speak for themselves. He believes the population should be reduced or prevented from growing, and he believes this can be done with vaccines and healthcare.
As we attempt to peel back the layers of PR stunts and puff pieces fawning over Bill Gates, we hope to illustrate that the man being propped up on the global stage and sold to the people as their savior, is anything but. Despite the apparent growth in support for Bill Gates, there is also evidence on social media that people are beginning to question him and challenge the savior narrative. This is the first step in unraveling Bill Gates’ Web of Dark Money and Manipulation.
The Global Influence of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
In 1994, the story goes, Bill Gates asked his father, William Gates Sr., to help him “improve reproductive and child health” by founding and leading the William H. Gates Foundation. Gates Sr. agreed and by 2000, the Foundation was merged with the Gates Learning Foundation to become the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. According to the Foundation, Bill Gates has donated $36 billion of his personal wealth to the foundation. The Foundation is estimated to be valued at $46.8 billion.
For the last two decades the Foundation has invested in a range of controversial companies and projects while pursuing their goal of improving global health and access to vaccines and reproductive care. This has all been done as part of Gates’ plan to reshape his public image as that of a friendly and kind billionaire whose only aim is to help the world. The reality is much more suspect.
Let’s take, for example, the Netflix documentary mentioned above, Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates. Rather than being a genuine look at the life and personality of Gates, the documentary failed to acknowledge conflicts of interest which might portray the film – and Bill Gates – in a different light. In a recent explosive investigation examining the reach of Gates’ money, The Nation noted that, “in the first episode, director Davis Guggenheim underlines Gates’s expansive intellect by interviewing Bernie Noe, described as a friend of Gates.” Noe goes on to tell of Gates reading 150 pages an hour with 90 percent retention. However, The Nation reported, “Guggenheim doesn’t tell audiences that Noe is the principal of Lakeside School, a private institution to which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has given $80 million.” Coincidentally, this is the same school that the Gates’ children attend.
Of course, using the Foundation’s wealth to influence media coverage is not new for Bill Gates. Although The Guardian claims editorial independence, their Global Development section is funded in part by The Gates Foundation. The Foundation has also given more than $9 million to The Guardian, over $3 million to NBC Universal, over $4 million to French newspaper Le Monde, over $4.5 million to NPR, $1 million to Al-Jazeera, and $49 million to the BBC’s Media Action program. In light of these investments it’s easy to understand how Gates could quickly organize a speaking tour of his favorite media outlets.
Corporate media outlets are not the only beneficiaries of the Gates Foundation. They have also invested in controversial technologies and companies, including Monsanto, geoengineering, 5G technology, and vaccines.
MintPress News recently reported on how the Gates Foundation helped highly controversial pharmaceutical and chemical giant Monsanto Corporation “gain a stronger foothold in Africa.” MPN also notes that the Foundation funded a, “flawed clinical trial of the HPV vaccine in India in 2009, where 23,000 impoverished girls aged 9-15 were exposed to potentially lethal drugs without even their parents’ consent, leading to seven deaths.”
In 2010, it was also reported that since 2007, Gates had given $4.5 million to study geoengineering methods for altering the stratosphere to reflect solar energy, techniques to filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, and brightening ocean clouds. Geoengineering is the deliberate mass scale manipulation of the weather for the stated purpose of reducing heating on the planet. The Guardian previously noted that Gates gives “an undisclosed sum” to geoengineering proponent and Harvard professor David Keith. Gates also owns majority stake in Keith’s geoengineering company, Carbon Engineering. Prominent geoengineering researcher Ken Caldeira says he receives $375,000 a year from Gates and works for Intellectual Ventures, a private geoengineering research company part-owned by Gates and run by Nathan Myhrvold, former head of technology at Microsoft.
The Foundation has also invested $10 million towards developing antennas which will accelerate the roll out of controversial 5th generation cellular technology, otherwise known as 5G.
The concerns around Bill Gates fortune and his use of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to influence pet projects is not the only worry expressed by critics of the Foundation. The larger – and more immediate – is that unelected billionaires like Gates are using their fortunes to shape public policy using their philanthropic foundations. This method of investing billions of dollars in the form of tax-deductible charity donations to private companies is allowing Gates to shape policy and profit by holding stock in the same companies supported by the Gates Foundation.
A recent investigation by The Nation uncovered more than 19,000 charitable grants from the Gates Foundation in the last two decades. They also found $2 billion in these tax-deductible charitable donations to private companies. Companies receiving these donations include GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, IBM, and NBC Universal Media. The Nation noted that the Gates Foundation has given $250 million to media companies and “other groups to influence the news.”
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: Merck, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Vodafone, Sanofi, Ericsson, LG, Medtronic, Teva, and numerous start-ups.
You might see the previous statement and ask, “how can this be legal? Is it not a conflict of interest to hold stock in a company which you also give tax-free donations?” The simple fact is there are not rules or laws against doing exactly what the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are doing. While some might argue that Bill Gates’ scheme is brilliant – donate your fortune by forming a foundation which can give tax-deductible donations to companies you partly own and reap profits while avoiding taxes – it is allowing him to hide his money in a myriad of ways. It has almost become impossible to track every donation, investment, or other partnership.
The Nation concluded,
it is difficult to ignore the occasions where their charitable activities seem to serve mainly private interests, including theirs—supporting the schools their children attend, the companies their foundation partly owns, and the special interest groups that defend wealthy Americans—while generating billions of dollars in tax savings.
Other notable facts from the investigation include that the Gates Foundation’s “$50 billion endowment has generated $28.5 billion in investment income over the last five years” while only giving away $23.5 billion in charitable grants. Additionally, a 2007 LA Times investigation found that the organization was involved in subprime mortgage loans and for-profit hospitals which reportedly performed unneeded surgeries. The Gates Foundation is also reportedly invested in chocolate companies that use child labor.
It would be a mistake to see the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as merely a vessel for a rich man to hide his money and reap immeasurable profits. No, the Foundation is “more than a collection of grants and projects” says Dr David McCoy, a public health doctor and researcher at University College London and an advisor to the People’s Health Movement. McCoy says the Foundation “operates through an interconnected network of organizations and individuals across academia and the NGO and business sectors” which allows Bill Gates to “leverage” influence” in a kind of “group think.”
In part 2 of this investigation we will sift through the myriad of connections between Bill Gates, his Foundation, and the many players involved in the COVID-19 response. We will also attempt to answer the essential question: Is Bill Gates a force for good or a force for harm?
