‘Feeding Bill Gates a fake burger to save the world’
From Feb 2020
Bill Gates (around 13 mins):
…if you are just trying to get people to cut back, Don’t eat meat, don’t drive to work, don’t take trips. It’s such a dramatic set of sacrifices that everyone has to engage in, that without innovation we’re probably gonna go way past the two degrees…”

My kids were watching this video from science YouTuber Mark Rober a few weeks back. It’s from pre lockdown February 2020. I wasn’t really convinced by the Gates conspiracy stuff but this made me pause for thought.

In my break the other day, I was reading this NYT article about Gates’ links to Epstein: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html and stumbled on a potentially very damaging revelation.

The article highlights a meeting between Gates and Epstein, during which Bill says: “a very attractive Swedish woman and her daughter dropped by and I ended up staying there quite late.”

Of terrible inconvenience to Gates, his wife started divorce proceedings at around this same time. No coincidence of course.

But this is where it ties into the C19 scam:

Around that time, the Gates Foundation and JPMorgan were teaming up to create the Global Health Investment Fund. Its goal was to provide “individual and institutional investors the opportunity to finance late-stage global health technologies that have the potential to save millions of lives in low-income countries.”

Apparently, to some extent, Epstein was involved:

Mr. Epstein wanted to be brought into the discussions, according to two people familiar with the talks. Mr. Epstein was an important JPMorgan customer, holding millions of dollars in accounts at the bank and referring a procession of wealthy individuals to become clients of the company.

Could this be the weak link in the chain for Gates and his fellow conspirators? These seedy meetings were happening after Epstein’s links with child prostitution had got out.

Further reading towards the end of the article, it says the deal cooled off between the two men, yet:

Mr. Nikolic, who is now running a venture capital firm with Mr. Gates as one of his investors, said he was “shocked” to be named in Mr. Epstein’s will.

Re DM article: no mention of getting rid of face masks on public transport I see. Not surprised, but not happy since I spend almost 2h a day on it. So sick of looking at zombie faces for all that time. Will also be interested to see if my ultra-woke office will ditch them too.

I guess it depends where you are but in my area not many wear masks on my local trains and I have a friend who regurlalry travels to London who says that less than half of passengers wear them on the London Tube now. The staff and even Transport Police turn a blind eye.

I have marched purposefully past transport police in tube stations, and nobody challenges me. Last summer I was asked (once) and said “exempt” and that was the end of that.

Don’t miss Omar S. Khan’s latest piece.It’s a masterpiece of vituperation, yet without a single obscenity or blasphemy. Even setting aside the hard-hitting arguments (!), the piece is a rhetorical gem.
Read it before it’s taken down by the Fascists.

ITEM: “Huge crackdown on customers who refuse to scan Covid QR codes after curry house bungle – police are set to start cracking down on customers avoiding the track and trace QR codes“

And so, the latest craziness in the Zero Covid utopia of South Australia. After a virus ‘escaped’ medi-hotel quarantine by hitching a ride on a released internee and all trace of it was lost to the bloodhounds of Track-And-Trace in an eatery where less than half of customers signed in with a QR code on the night, plain-clothes cops will now lurk outside random businesses to nab QR Code felons and sting them, and the business, with four-figure fines under “Operation Trace”.

The Police Commissioner, Grant Stevens, in full Covid Hysteria mode, frothed about Covid “complacency” and “people simply walking past those QR codes”. Can’t have “complacency” when there is Operation Virus Fear (aka ‘Operation Trace’) to maintain so that the whole house of social-distancing cards doesn’t tumble down.

This is what Zero Covid gets you – a constant, jumpy state of alarm about anything that might spoil the daily zero ‘case’ count’ with cops dishing out big fines on unsuspecting ‘miscreants’ (i.e. normal people). The authorities are really on another planet.

My observations, though, as a South Australian, is that all the venues I frequented  today (a crowded undercover Central Market and one supermarket) is that whilst the Covid Hysterics are demonstratively doing the QR phone thing with even greater diligence, the QR code sign remains a forlorn and lonely bit of tattered paper routinely ignored by everyone else.

Looks like ‘Operation Trace’ is another of those unenforcable things whose main purpose is propagandistic, with a  subsidiary purpose of validating the occupational meaning for the Covid bureaucrats and the Covid police.

But I will keep an eye out for any short-back-and-sides cops out of uniform and if they are present do a manual sign-in with, say, Grant Stevens (Commissioner) and a false phone number, as my moniker – no point in throwing money away on a pointless ritual.

No masks? Yeah right, I believe these ‘sources’ in the Mail. Just more gas lighting I reckon.

Make sure you don’t miss today’s Guardian quide to empty soulless humping in the era of Covid – they advise that wearing masks during sex with a stanger is your choice, but on no account should you have a second date with a “covid denier”.

Insane and malign as ever.

Oh, read it, Wendy. It’s the funniest thing I’ve read so far this year. You will hoot.

It was the advice to have an LFT test before humping, and self-isolate afterwards, that tickled me most. But everything to do with sex is Absolutely Certain To Kill Either You Or Somebody’s Granny And Possibly Both.

And if you set out to have sweaty, passionate oral sex with an unmasked, unvaxxed Covid denier, make your will first, leaving everything you possess to the NHS if they haven’t taken it already.

Comedy gold, thanks. Evil and hilarious. My fave so far……

What extra precautions should you take if you want to date a former shielder?
The most cautious you can be is to take a lateral flow test, be moderately sure that you didn’t have Covid on that day, then self-isolate for two weeks, then go on the date. But it’s very infantilising to think that shielding people can’t make their own decisions. It’s better to ask them what precautions they would like you to take, and make a call on whether you’re happy to follow them.

Can we start running an “All Australians Are Pussies” campaign to try and wake their sleeping souls up. You would have thought Aussies would have a bit of resistance in them but it hasn’t happened, all I read is how they are totally hypnotised by this crap. Maybe that would wake them up

Update on the Michael O Bernicia case, the Common Law prosecution of Hancock, Whitty, Vallance and Ferguson for pandemic fraud. Overall, the legal professionals in this country, the birthplace of justice (yeah right, just like the BBC is impartial), as with the medical professionals and the snakes in the media, have been exposed for being the bunch of gutless, troughing good for nothings they truly are. Enormous crimes being committed all over the shop and barely a murmur from another group of people who have the power to change the course of this scam and stop it in its tracks, but they don’t, so they can rot in Hell with the politicians and all the rest of the establishment whores.

From Australia. Legal rep who has been fighting the Covid tyranny and forming powerful groups has had her legal practitioner license cancelled by the Victorian state mafia.

https://www.advocateme.com.au/

ANNOUNCEMENT
Serene Teffaha, from Advocate Me, has been operating a legal practice, as well as an advocacy service. As part of the legal practice, Serene provides specialised legal advice for clients who may need to escalate issues to the Courts, tribunals and/or commissions.
 
Serene has also been operating an advocacy service, where she empowers clients with the knowledge and understanding of their situation, to deescalate their matter and attempt to negotiate a resolution. In that capacity, Serene provides legal information to assist the clients, and for those who are unrepresented she provides pro-bono support as a friend of the Court.
​
Serene has also run various campaigns to create awareness and organise various actions in a lawful manner, to mobilse people with the purpose of creating change. Serene and her team done this through her campaigns such as Cops for Covid Truth, AHPRA Whistleblower complaint, a Peoples’ Commissions for the Family Court of Australia, Detention Towers class action and the National Class Action.
​
Unfortunately Serene’s campaigns have been very powerful and as a result of her strong representation of people who have suffered human rights breaches and crimes against humanity, the Victorian Legal Services Board (‘VLSB’) has cancelled Serene’s legal practitioner license. They are now threatening not just to force themselves onto the clients of the legal practice, to forcibly attain their legal files without client approval, instruction, knowledge or consent, they are also threatening to take the information that belongs to the campaigns unrelated to the legal practice. 
​
We are fighting this battle in the Supreme Court of Victoria, as the VLSB is not only seeking to muzzle Serene as a legal practitioner, but also as an advocate for the people. Given this, we need to re-calibrate our bearings and expose the corruption. For this reason we have paused our contact information form, we have also paused any forms associated with any of our campaigns, as well as the online forum as we don’t want to risk your information being hijacked by the VLSB or agent of the VLSB, however, we will maintain our blog as a way of communicating.

My 96 year old housebound, virtually blind MIL is suffering from very sore inflamed legs.
My wife rang the doctors hoping for one of their G P’s to visit her mother only to be told “Can you take some photographs and send them to us so we can decide what action to take”.
Words fail me!!!
