    I did think that perhaps it was a nervous laugh, but if you look at his wife's reaction she definitely isn't nervous. For some reason she has a gigantic smile on her face. For some reason the idea of a terrible pandemic causes her to smile.

    So what's your take on it? You've referred to it many many times in this thread but you haven't actually said what you think that they are smirking/beaming about. Why does it set off alarm bells for you?

    I don't really know what to make of it, but I don't understand why they both smiled after he said what he said.

    You could be right, but then look at his reaction when the interviewer mentions the economy being destroyed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zShkBl5phUs

    Who reacts like that? A possible explanation is that he doesn't like Trump and so he's happy that the economy is banjaxed.

    They're worth ignoring as he's not a reliable source, and is looking to make a buck on his wild conspiracy theories. Post a reliable link that confirms your statement - major news media would be a great start - and then there might be something worth discussing.

    The fact that the WHO sponsored an event to 'game' a pandemic outbreak is a brilliant idea. Maybe it helped save some lives. Too bad the US, especially, ignored it except some private citizens.

    I never said it proved anything. I mentioned his laughing at the economy being banjaxed to show that he laughs and smirks at, and about, things that aren't funny. Watch any interview with him an you'll see that he smirks or laughs for no reason. Why did he find it funny that the economy was destroyed? Why did he smirk / smile after saying the next one would get people's attention? Would you call that normal behaviour?

    He's laughing at the reference to his blog a few seconds before, by Fareed Zakaria, before he seriously answers the economy question. The questions and answers always have a few second delay.

    You might want to watch the entire video and see if you think the same afterwards, not just a small excerpt around 5 minutes in.

    If you search for 'Event 201' on Google, the only results, save for a few articles on fringe websites, are attacks on 'Plandemic', and so-called debunkings on fact-checker sites, sites that are also funded by Gates. Very often their debunkings consist of "we asked the person / organisation and they said it isn't true". I'm not saying Event 201 predicted COVID-19, but that a debunking that consists of 'they said it isn't true' isn't a debunking. Sure enough, in that USA Today article the debunking is 'they said it isn't true'.

    Rather long article, but it examines the relationship between Gates and the media: https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 734 ✭✭✭Dionaibh



    The debunking consists of 'they said it isn't true'. Would you call 'they said it isn't true' a debunking?

    I read the article and the only debunking I see is 'they said it wasn't true'. In 'Plandemic II', it shows Event 201 and real life side by side. Everything that's happening now was simulated in Event 201. Even Ryan of WHO practised saying 'new normal'.

    But it could be a coincidence.

    I'm not saying Event 201 predicted it. But Mike Ryan practising saying 'this is the new normal' during Event 201 is worrying.

    Ok. So that's one, according to you and if we accept that as true.

    Is that the only one?
    If not, which others?

    they used the phrase "new normal" is what it seems to boil down to.

    The Gates Foundation raises awareness of issues by funding journalism and studies on certain issues e.g. poverty in Africa, or helping train journalists to cover those matter or funding specials on those particular issues.

    So if you open up the e.g. Guardian newspaper, you may find an editorial on page 15 on vaccines developments in some poor country that was funded by the Gates foundation.

    So no, he's not "controlling the media". It's even more absurd to suggest that news and current affairs from countless credible outlets around the world are "unreliable" due to him.

    Agree, the Guardian for a change did/does have a wide range of topical stories on the various Gates-funded projects, e.g. here is one of theirs from a couple of years ago.

    Remote-controlled contraceptive microchip could launch by 2018
    Developed by researchers at MIT {gates funded}, the 'digital pill' 'implant' could revolutionise birth control, allowing women to switch hormones on and off at the touch of a button

    https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design-blog/2014/jul/11/design-futures-remote-controlled-contraceptive-microchip-launch-by-2018
    It's an interesting story on the topic of population/fertility control, wouldn't however fancy placing 16yrs worth of a remote control hormone drug reservoir under anyone's skin however.
    The chip is implanted under the skin and releases small doses of the contraceptive hormone levonorgestrel on a daily basis, with enough capacity to last 16 years

    To be fair the population of Africa is set to double by 2050, so may well need some direct intervention of family planning, don't think this particular project took off for the 500million females there as intended.

    There are many similarities and many differences between that event and what actually happened. It would help to read these things with a mind to form an objective view, instead of reading it in order to make it fit the narrative you're subscribed to.

    And what's your point? what's the conspiracy?

    The purpose of that thing is to reduce unwanted pregnancies, nothing nefarious. It just does so in a technological way. If it became available, maybe people would use it, maybe they wouldn't.

    I was simply agreeing with your point, that the Guardian isn't bad all the times, and sometimes gives an interesting perspective.

    Somewhat agree with you, the concept of a remote-controlled contraceptive implanted microchip storing an embodiment of 16yrs worth of hormones sounds fine if a localised population is deemed to be spiraling out of control, sure what could go wrong?

    What could go wrong?

    Let's say the tech exists, has passed all the trials, etc and women can go to a GP and get the procedure

    What nefarious thing is going to happen according to you?

    Can't see anything going wrong* with this Gates funded remote-controlled contraceptive implanted microchip, storing (in this embodiment), 16yrs worth of hormones to prevent fertility.

    (*IF), very large scale, long duration (e.g. 16yr product lifespan) trials take place, and these prove there is zero risk to long term health or sterility.

    What according to you, are any potential nefarious things with such a project?
    If none, you clearly reckon there is zero risk.


    Bear in mind this implant was planned for 500million, and for 2018 (without any 16yr duration trials), but was pulled for some strange reason.

    Of course various female operations such as silicone breast implants or vaginal mesh surgery were all trialled and certified safe, but yet strangely seem to be making headlines of late.

    Anything we use or eat or take has risk, whether it's water, aspirin, a burger, whatever. When it comes to medical stuff, risk can be relatively higher, which is why we have medical trials, tests, etc.

    You however are on a conspiracy forum, and you often suggest at some nefarious conspiracy behind these things, without saying what it is, a bizarre "on the fence" stance.

    In this case, with this tech, and what you have written above, explain what you think the conspiracy or nefarious thing you keep hinting at is? and how is that linked to Bill Gates?

    If you can't detail what you keep alluding to, it's just mindless paranoia.
