    How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health



    Another youtube dump, what's pertinent to this? Timestamps to the important parts please.

    Its for viewing, not segments pulled from it. It's for people to watch in its entirely to see if the claims add up
    The first 2 minutes is a fascinating insight to the type of personality he has.

    I watched the 1st 2 minutes, it tells you nothing about Gates nor does it give any sort of "fascinating insight to the type of personality he has."

    I retract my earlier comment about Cheerful only watching two minutes of the video. Just looked at the first 3 minutes and its apparent that Cheerful hasn't watched any of the video.

    What a time waster

    Good old Bill for his part just brushes off the stupidity and moves on.

    I watched the 1st 2 minutes, it tells you nothing about Gates nor does it give any sort of "fascinating insight to the type of personality he has."

    The US government sued Microsoft for breaking anti-trust laws in 1998 and the lawyer on the government side in the deposition asked Gates- what other browsers competing against Microsoft were you concerned about? (simple question) Gates pretended to not understand the lawyer question. Gates played the dumpy card (confused look) and acted like he done nothing wrong, and it shows, does not care about the rule of law and will never say sorry for his actions. Gates Microsoft lost the court battle and the ruling at the time Microsoft was an illegal monopoly and was broken up into a two part entity.

    Gates now monopolised the healthcare system worldwide instead through the Bill and Melinda foundation, and used his vast wealth, to fund small and large pharma companies, and provided grants to health care bodies, and profited from the products and services they provided to the public. The Foundation also owns a percentage of the assets of the companies they invested in over the last decade.

    Gates is the second largest donor to the WHO with the United States at number one. Dr Fauci research was backed by Gates in the past and there is a conflict of interest, and any vaccine, that will emerge, will have Gates stamp of approval on it. Gates paid off people in newspapers and those involved in global media to provide him with good public image press and told them to not print negative stories about him.

    Gates is not one of the most generous men on earth. He actually is two times richer today then he was a decade ago (stats provided). He's lost none of his wealth. The Foundation is not a charitable organisation like the press claims, it has a dual function , and is profiting, off the assets and when grants are given. Money is not given away for free for nothing- the foundation earning in return. Foundation trust is profiting from health. No surprise, the media is promoting him as the new face for the covid-19 vaccine. This what I took from the first part of the series.

    My position
    I don’t believe Gates leaked covid-19 to profit from it and allegations are not made here in the first video. My personal own believe is an accident occurred inside one of the labs in China. The lab studied bat coronavirus diseases. The lab in Wuhan was partly funded by US scientists, and this was a dual project probably funded by the WHO?

    I not anti- vaccine supporter. There is an obvious health benefits here, and Vaccines have prevented diseases and helped people who are sick.

    When you’re a critic of Bill Gates you assumed to be anti vaccine person, this is the ridiculous debunker mindset.

    Many debunkers link the two online I have seen it. When you dislike Bill Gates you are against vaccine treatment. Of course some people in the conspiracy world are anti- vaccine and use the face of Bill Gates to promote their own agenda online. You end up seeing both sides battle it out on twitter and other forums of discussion.

    No one mentioned vax/anti vax.

    This is just deflection from you posting a video that you clearly hadn't watched yourself and saying "The first 2 minutes is a fascinating insight to the type of personality he has" when it does nothing of the sort.

    Is this publication a sister or cousin of the Onion? The longer economies go without opening the greater the damage will be. I cannot understand why anybody would be a fan of lockdowns and curfews unless of course they want to live in a dictatorship. Have you enjoyed living in this kind of environment for the last few months? A lot of it is some people don't want to get off their backsides and actually work again. That's their choice but the free money won't last forever.

    And frankly it's unsurprising, e.g. Russia has been uncovered running literal troll factories for spreading disinformation/sowing division on social media
    The longer economies go without opening the greater the damage will be.

    Everyone knows this, and no one "wants" the lockdown, but leaving an economy more open (e.g. Brazil) risks overwhelming the health system. A second wave could easily see lockdown measures returning.

    Then there are the idiots

    £340 anti 5G USB key
    A device costing more than £300 promises to protect your family from the supposed dangers of 5G, using ground-breaking quantum technology - but does it work? Of course not.
    But, at first sight, it seems to be just that - a USB key, with just 128MB of storage.

    "So what's different between it and a virtually identical 'crystal' USB key available from various suppliers in Shenzhen, China, for around £5 per key?" asks Ken Munro, whose company, Pen Test Partners, specialises in taking apart consumer electronic products to spot security vulnerabilities.

    And the answer appears to be a circular sticker.

    "Now, we're not 5G quantum experts but said sticker looks remarkably like one available in sheets from stationery suppliers for less than a penny each," he says.

    Mr Munro and his colleague Phil Eveleigh proceeded to dismantle the USB key to find out if there were any whizz-bang electronics inside.

    lol

    Not sure what's that got to do with the WuFlu? Maybe you're just bored and hence burping up funny cartoons and random blurb for your own kicks, on a nice sunny day.

    AFAIK maybe only 1 person on this entire site has suggested 5g causes the flu, even for Icke, it's all bit far-fetched.

    Anyway... FYI the sticker is supposed to be a universal EMF blocker (not designed specifically for 5G, lol). Does it work, most likely not.

    Best idea would be to pick one up (not this one, it's just a sticker). But a better example of a negative-ion producing field, maybe a slab of shungite.

    One of the best selling EMF field reducers appears to be the Q-link. Does it work?
    No idea won't be spending 99$ to find out, and don't have an EMF meter at hand. Sure give it a go yourself and report back:

    On the plus side, folks with 'no fear of EMF exposure' can pick up very cheap (sucker) houses, just search for one directly underneath a pylon (the ones that light up unplugged flouresent tubes, when held aloft in hand under such pylons). Or houses right beside electic sub-stations (the type that hums, and makes you hair on arms stand up when you walk past). Win, win! Makes you wonder why nobody wants them.

    Anyways, time now for the lunchtime sunshine and VitD accumulation!

    Not sure what's that got to do with the WuFlu?

    There are a scary number of people who think 5G causes Coronavirus (e.g. a recent poll showed one in eight Australians)

    Those types of people gravitate to places like this, perhaps it's good if instead of finding validation, they find straight forward info

    It's sunny? who knew, apparently most of us on this forum live in basements drinking pepsi ;)

    Poll shows 28% of Americans believe that Bill Gates wants to use vaccines against Covid19 to implant microchips in people. Rising to 44% among Republicans

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    100% of drama scream queens, believe that the BillGates funded 'Quantum Dot Tattoo' is actually a 'microchip processor', like a big whirling shinny computer or something.




    Full-time paid for counter theorists, funny lefty biased paid-for polls, even 'so called' proper 'truth' sites, are always keen on pushing the narrative: that many think Gates is intent on 'chipping' people (for dramatic effect), so they can counter this dramatic viewpoint of nonsense. {Although he has done actually this before for birth control, it was on a limited scale}.

    Pleae kids, finish school if you can, a simple 'quantum dot tattoo' is exactly that (it's not really a big aul computer chip, is it now, lols).

    5G being rolled out in New Zealand throughout 2019/2020 and a lot of it in the last 4 months.... but...

    Very unlikely to be any lockdown in any meaningful sense, anywhere in the US
    Unless there is a WuhanL4-esq mutation leading to a much more potent strain, come winter.

    Still, this is all catered for anyway thanks to their recent Bill
    (US)Bill 'H.R. 6666' 'The COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act'
    $100,000,000,000 is readily available as of now to track, trace and quarantine anyone suspected of having the wuflu.

    What will happen if this COVID Wave1 suddenly dissipates into a weaker mutation as it appears to be doing,
    will the hundreds of millions/billions that the Phara industry (and others) has invested suddenly all be washed down the drain?
    Can't imagine their stakeholders looking forward to any meaningful end of year dividends...

    Bret Weinstein now convinced the virus leaked due to an incident in a lab. Explains why in this quick clip. The science seems to show that hypothesis correct.

    "We still don't know, it is possible this came from the wild without human meddling" - he doesn't sound very convinced

    Also he's a biologist. Several of the world's top virologists, who have direct hands-on with the virus in labs are increasingly convinced it came from animal-human transmission, e.g. Dr. Danielle Anderson

    Not as exciting or "sexy" as the lab leak theory, so less appealing for some, especially for the audience on the Joe Rogan show.

    Belief That 5G Causes COVID-19 Linked to Violence, Anger and Paranoia

    This association was strongest for those with the highest levels of paranoia. These patterns also emerged from questions about general conspiracy theories and violence, leading the authors to believe their findings could relate to these beliefs more widely, not just in regards to COVID-19 and 5G.

    Leading Viroligist Bergit Sorensen 90% sure the virus was man made and that’s it’s the “most logical” answer.

    “I think it’s more than 90 percent certain. It’s at least a far more probable explanation than it having developed this way in nature”, Sørensen responds.
    Sørensen also highlights other data than those related to the virus’ properties:
    “The properties that we now see in the virus, we have yet to discover anywhere in nature. We know that these properties make the virus very infectious, so if it came from nature, there should also be many animals infected with this, but we have still not been able to trace the virus in nature”

    It's not impossible that it was leaked from a lab, but currently the scientific consensus on the evidence is that it that this virus was originally transmitted from animals. For some people that isn't "sexy" enough, so they search for any scientific individuals that may support something, anything else.

    It's commonsense the virus leaked probably from a lab if they can’t find the strain in nature. There're signals/signs in the genome that suggest human tampering . These changes are extremely rare in natural viruses. This is what convinced Bret here and the other scientists he talked with a lab leak is likely the correct explanation.. Some scientists are just brave to feature that now in science papers.

    Its not a wild thought either since it now common knowledge there was a coronavirus disease lab in Wuhan. A leak from a lab would make the virus more transferable to humans in the surrounding area than the suggested method someone eat the wrong animal one day that no scientist can identify 100 percent here.

    Eh, viruses are discovered more regularly than any species. So the fact they haven't found it in nature does not mean it does not exist in nature. It's simply they haven't found it as the origin is likely in the middle of nowhere.

    Finding excuses for none of the claims getting through peer review is more an indication of how weak your argument is. I also tend to defer to the cdc, who and scientific journals rather than your virology expertise.

    Yes, and that mostly likely what happened here. They encountered some bat like disease in a remote corner area of China or Africa?. They later took it to the lab and worked on it.
    They then enhanced and boosted in a lab to allow it to pass to human beings more easily. They made it more dangerous with the tampering. If the scientists found this virus in nature, some of the new changes would not be present.

    I don’t think is a conspiracy to believe a lab leak is correct when the epicentre close by to a B4 virus lab known to be testing viruses found in bats. Early days it was reported no bats were sold in the Wuhan wet market, so that makes the case for a outbreak there unlikely.

    This should show up elsewhere in the animal community, its a logical statement from him. Sorenson highlighting the virus seems to have been engineered to be more transferrable to human beings instead.

    Eh, thing is viruses are regularly picked up in remote areas via things like hunting or capturing animals to sell in wet markets. You've sought out research that couldn't get through peer review but validates your opinion. So your evidence is by definition weak if it can't get through peer review.

    I also can't imagine a wet market in Wuhan is particularly likely to be closely tracking what they do or don't sell. It is also very much a conspiracy when centers for disease control in both Europe and the US don't view it as man-made.

    The strain of the siv virus that transmitted to humans was only identified in 1999.

    The authors of a British-Norwegian vaccine study—accepted by the Quarterly Review of Biophysics—claim that the coronavirus's spike protein contains sequences that appear to be artificially inserted.

    Artifically inserted sequences here means there was a man made manipulation. In the age of Trump context seems to changed to suit ones bias about a subject. This fact checking site and forbes clearly have an agenda.

    Certainly not outside the realm of possibility, or even probability.

    Think WuhanL4 had at one stage had something like x400 live bats inhouse, for COVID R&D.
    If the bins were overflowing with used/expired goods, a Porter or the even waste collection service,
    may well of went down the road to a nearby wetmarket for a few extra Yuan in the pocket.

    Firstly the article references how versions didn't pass peer review with multiple journals. Open the draft of it that the Forbes article is linking to. Find a reference to artificial sequences. There isn't any... That's what they submitted. The claim was made in an interview, not in the published article.
