The Associated Press (AP) is assigning another two dozen journalists across the world to cover ‘climate issues’. AP Senior Vice President Julie Pace described the move as a “far reaching initiative that will transform the way we cover the climate story”. Over 20 of the journalists will be new hires and they will be funded by an $8m gift from five billionaire philanthropic organisations, including the Left-wing Rockefeller Foundation. The money is just the latest in a series of such gifts and AP reports that 50 writing jobs are funded from these sources.
AP is not the only large media company to collect such hand-outs. The BBC and the Guardian regularly receive multi-million dollar contributions from the trusts of wealthy philanthropists. It is estimated that Bill Gates has given over $300 million over the last decade to a wide variety of media outlets. Faced with plummeting paid readers and advertisers, mainstream legacy media seems eager to tap a new revenue stream.
The money is spread wide across such media. This month, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting received $1.5 million from Rockefeller to “expand coverage of under-reported and/or inaccurately reported critical public health information”. The Quadrivium Foundation, run by Democrat power couple James and Kathryn Murdoch, is also paying climate wages at AP. On its website, the Foundation notes that it also invests in Climate Central, using meteorologists as “trusted messengers” of the links between extreme weather and climate change. Since it is not possible to link individual weather events to long term climate change with any scientific certainty, this aim looks to be a waste of money, or perhaps not.
‘Trusted messengers’ seems to be a phrase much in vogue around philanthropic operations. Last October, Rockefeller gave $4.5 million to Purpose Global, a non-profit company that aims to help corporate clients with their “cultural intelligence”. The money was given in support of facilitating a “communication network of trusted messengers”. This would “amplify accurate information and combat mis- and dis- information on COVID-19 vaccines”. In September 2020, the Gates Foundation gave the Guardian $3.5 million to “support” its regular reporting on global health. Likewise, the Global Health Security Team at the Telegraph is Gates-funded.
Old school journalists might be a little happier to see less of the ‘trusted messenger’ stuff and more of the requirement to investigate. But critical inquiry of climate change science has been more or less banned from many mainstream outlets. This is despite the fact that the hypothesis that humans cause all or most global warming is unproven, and many scientists look more to natural causes for long term change. Predictions – often termed evidence – of future warming, are based on climate models that have never provided an accurate forecast in the last 40 years. Global warming started to run out of steam two decades ago, and it has been at a standstill for the last seven. When Google Adsense banned the main climate web page tracking accurate satellite data showing the standstill, the interest was confined to just a few outlets, including the Daily Sceptic.
One of the largest suppliers of cash for climate change is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the BBC and the Guardian are two of its favourite giftees. The Guardian has received upwards of $20 million over recent years starting with £6m in 2011 to establish a “millennium Development Goals” feed that provides “compelling evidence-based content”. During the last decade, Gates has given at least $20 million to help fund the BBC World Service and $5.5 million for the Corporation’s Media Action charity.
In that time, the software tycoon, once treated with great suspicion for early monopolistic tendencies, has become a prized ‘talking head’ across the BBC for epidemics, vaccines and anti-meat diets. His recent scary tales of climate change, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster”, was recently given five airings on prime time Radio 4.
Elsewhere, there are prizes for the best behaved – sorry – most distinguished climate journalist. Every year, the foundation of BBVA, a Spanish bank heavily involved in financing Net Zero projects, hands out €100,000 to the lucky recipient. Last year it went to Marlow Hood of Agence France-Presse, who describes himself as the “Herald of the Anthropocene”, the latter being a political renaming of the current Holocene era. In 2019, Matt McGrath of the BBC pocketed the cash, while in 2020 the award went to – no great surprise – the Guardian.
Much of the BBC money appears to support advocacy in the developing world, although the terms of specific grants are sometimes hard to understand. A letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in August 2019 describing the purpose of a $2.03 million grant to the BBC reads as follows: “To help us learn deepen our underpinning of processes and user journeys for different sets of women’s empowerment collectives, develop use cases for where digital can help amplify effects bring efficiencies, and close gender gaps for women”.
No doubt when this non-sensical gibberish was translated into understandable English, the money was spent wisely.

Covid ‘crisis’, to Climate ‘crisis’, to Putin ‘crisis’. All made up by ‘crisis’ actors who trained at Davos.
It sounds like they have the answer and just need compliant scribblers to write the workings out.
Couldn’t help but laugh out loud on Friday when I read that Formula E off road was ‘launching’ a Formula H(ydrogen). The whole pack of electric vehicle cards is falling apart. A conservative estimate of the extra generating capacity required in the UK is that we will need a further 58Gw generation, we currently have 39Gw capacity. I even heard a former BBC correspondent saying that he couldn’t get climate scientists on his radio programme to ‘convince’ him of the science, they simply refused and he called them out as having no solid evidence. The worm(S) have turned, it will be a climate calamity shortly, much like Covid has turned into.
Refusing to debate the actual evidence is a standard globalist tactic.
They simply pronounce their position as being ‘The Science’ and declare any that disagree to be evil or mentally ill.
You are not invited to the table, therefore the ‘science’ is settled!
Living in an inner city, to me the environment is firstly a local issue. The media do not seem to tackle the extent of our litter and local environment problems nor even discuss the link between this and the failure of multicultural and immigration policies at local level.
People need to take pride in their local communities and feel part of them, including their local environment. To impose a global climate change agenda just doesn’t work. If people don’t even care about the state of their neighbourhoods and where they live and work, way would they bother about global issues?
i do not have a solution. But the issue I raise is not even permitted to be discussed directly by the media, it seems. Unless we can discuss it and get people’s perspectives in proportion, then we are not going to get any real solutions.
I think it’s because we’re steered towards working as much as possible, so after that and sorting out your family each day you’ve no time or energy left to notice the area around you falling to ruin,much less do anything about it… Religion used to be the opium of the masses, now it’s work…
‘Religion used to be the opium of the masses, now it’s work…’
To be fair communities used to gather at places of worship every Sunday where people would interact and support one another in various ways. That this is lost is one of the main reasons that communities are so fragmented and so many people are isolated.
And one of the reasons for keeping the pubs closed, to stop people getting together and discussing the ‘covid’
Mr Gates in one his cuddly bear pullovers, this time in a soft purple, its not doing it now.
Or the colour of the Emperor?
He who pays the piper, calls the tune. None of these bought and paid for “journalists” will ask the awkward questions or challenge the propaganda. They are propagandists, not journalists.
They ask them all on GB News
GB News were pushing the vaccines for all they were worth at the start.
Only after millions have had that muck injected into them are they tentatively questioning the wisdom of injecting millions of people with a warp speed gene therapy substance when those people are at no risk from the illness in question.
That is why most BBC journalists run from people in the street.
So the billionaires funding all this covid/climate propaganda are ‘Left wing’ ideologues who believe in social justice and equality for all. All Gates and Rothschild aspire to is living in a high rise council flat in Fulham to exemplify social justice and cycle to work to save the environment?
Of course not. But that is what they want for us. To own nothing, eat bugs, live in pods and ‘be happy’.
The organisations they fund through their philanthropic foundations are most certainly pushing this agenda forward in the hope of turning society back to a time when the plebs owned nothing and the monarchical class owned everything. But now things are different. There is a new kid in town.
After centuries of struggle, the worlds monarchs have finally been deposed by those who control international finance, and they are the new royalty. And they are determined to undo the gains made by the working classes over the last few decades.
For these plutocrats, the workers of the world must unite in abject poverty while they hoover up all the worlds assets and wealth. Their Covid hoax was merely a foretaste of what is to come under their climate scam.
By calling them ‘Left wing’, you are energising the millions of Leftist ‘useful idiots’ who unwittingly advance their plutocratic agenda.
Not forgetting the Vatican and the Pope. He doesnt mention it here, but word is that The Black Pope is the head of the Jesuits, and that is the ultimate top of the tree player. Anyway great presentation from Bryan Ardis who I think is decent and honourable
Dr. Bryan Ardis accurately says Pope Francis is behind Covid and the Jabs, Feb. 10, 2021
https://www.bitchute.com/video/LWyJoYoqVKY5/
One of the Bishops was speaking out beck in 2020 and more recently. The pope would not be happy with him. I have noticed the Pope only speaks out about some woke issues and immigration, people being persecuted for not having the jab doesn’t seem to bother him. Same with Justin Welby.
The rich are quite happy to see the rest of us ‘levelled up’
….
Sums it right up.
They have the money with which they own the media with which they own public opinion with which they control the government and lawmakers.
For a while the Internet and social media offered an alternative route for getting information but they’re getting that under control as well.
No illusions about the scale of the battle ahead here.
One of the main surprises for me since the covid fraud was unleashed was just how much influence the MSM still has.
I thought alternative sources of information had knocked the MSM off of their perch.
It appears that most still believe what the BBC et al says.
Until the MSM don’t say something, the bulk of the population don’t believe it.
The BBC is literally the Ministry of Truth.
Including my mother…..She just thinks I’m mad and that the government always has good intentions.
And don’t leave out businesses (especially pharma) from buying up silence and comment.
‘“To help us learn deepen our underpinning of processes and user journeys for different sets of women’s empowerment collectives, develop use cases for where digital can help amplify effects bring efficiencies, and close gender gaps for women”.’
Translation – here is a bung feel free to line your pockets but remember that you only get free money as long as you support your paymaster’s intersts.
Yours is probably close to the original, before using Google-translate several times!
That picture of Gates…I hope that one day, at the other end of the camera, there’s a guy with an assault rifle pointed at his Machiavellian cranium, and the filthy specimen is pleading for his life…”No, i didn’t mean it, it was for the greater good, honest guv” BANG
It would be better if he ends up locked in a small concrete cage for the rest of his life.
And perhaps he could share the cage with a range of others, including (of course) the Blair creature (to use Hitchens’ endearing description!).
Hitchens is great, just don’t interrupt him mid sentence lol. He referred to China is Peking because apparently they don’t like it.
Hear, hear.
Don’t forget Justin and Macron and that horse bitch down under. I was actually fantasising about if I managed to get into her house, would I show mercy…No!
The Royals are making a shed load of money out of the global warming scam.
Apparently the Royals own the sea bed so they take rent for the off shore wind farms.
It is estimate that Lizzy currently gets £200 million a year for the inconvenience that the turbines cause her.
Poor people freeze as these bum holes hoover up the subsidy.
For a long time the Queen’s wealth was 90 million. At what point did their wealth sky rocket?
This is from May 2018 but reflects exactly what we see happening now in the media: https://exploringyourmind.com/10-strategies-of-media-control-noam-chomsky/
For example: “The puppet-masters don’t want to activate people’s thoughtful sides. They want to strip up emotions and reach people’s unconscious…The point is to cause a kind of “short circuit” in rational thinking processes. They use emotions to capture the overall meaning of the message, but not the specifics. This is another way they kill people’s critical thinking abilities.”
Or they could go the whole hog and do what they did down under, asked them to avoid conversations with people when out shopping.
As with all the pandemics to date, there are many flaws in the claims about the next hobgoblin called climate change.
Carbon dioxide is a ‘trace’ gas in the atmosphere at about 0.0415% (cf. nitrogen at 80%). Despite searching online and asking several scientists, including 3 who work at the Met Office, for the evidence that shows that raising atmospheric CO2 from say 280 ppm pre-fossil fuels to 415 ppm today has caused any change in the climate, I have received blank responses.
Even if CO2 were relevant, an increase from 280 to 415 ppm, while a large relative 48% increase, is an absolute increase of only 0.0135%. Does this remind you of the Pfizer claim for the covid vaccine of 95% efficacy, which was a relative effect, when the same data showed that the absolute effect was 0.7% i.e. from bugger all to a bit more than bugger all?
The famous ‘hockey stick’ data mash-up by the discredited Dr Michael Mann, who lost a Canadian court case for refusing to release his data for independent scrutiny, and other data, shows the earth’s temperature over thousands of years rising and falling BEFORE changes in CO2 concentration so CO2 cannot have been the cause.
Keep asking for the evidence and speaking truth to power.
I have posted it before, and I’ll continue to do so until the public understands that climate science is no more complicated than basic Arithmetic.
This is the calculation, using internationally recognised data, nothing fancy, no hidden agenda, just something we can all do by taking our socks and shoes off.
Assuming increasing atmospheric CO2 is causing the planet to warm:
Atmospheric CO2 levels in 1850 (beginning of the Industrial Revolution): ~280ppm (parts per million atmospheric content) (Vostok Ice Core).
Atmospheric CO2 level in 2021: ~410ppm. (Mauna Loa)
410ppm minus 280ppm = 130ppm ÷ 171 years (2021 minus 1850) = 0.76ppm of which man is responsible for ~3% = ~0.02ppm.
That’s every human on the planet and every industrial process adding ~0.02ppm CO2 to the atmosphere per year on average. At that rate mankind’s CO2 contribution would take ~25,000 years to double which, the IPCC states, would cause around 2°C of temperature rise. That’s ~0.0001°C increase per year for ~25,000 years.
One hundred (100) generations from now (assuming ~25 years per generation) would experience warming of ~0.25°C more than we have today. ‘The children’ are not threatened!
Furthermore, the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory (and others) can identify and illustrate Natures small seasonal variations in atmospheric CO2 but cannot distinguish between natural and manmade atmospheric CO2.
Hardly surprising. Mankind’s CO2 emissions are so inconsequential this ‘vital component’ of Global Warming can’t be illustrated on the regularly updated Mauna Loa graph.
Mankind’s emissions are independent of seasonal variation and would reveal itself as a straight line, so should be obvious.
Not even the global fall in manmade CO2 over the early Covid-19 pandemic, estimated at ~14% (14% of ~0.02ppm CO2 = 0.0028ppm), registers anywhere on the Mauna Loa data. Unsurprisingly.
In which case, the warming the planet has experienced is down to naturally occurring atmospheric CO2, all 97% of it.
That’s entirely ignoring the effect of the most powerful ‘greenhouse’ gas, water vapour which is ~96% of all greenhouse gases.
Just pondering…….His position is totally reliant on the world being digitally/electronically connected; (rhetorical question) is this where the jabs and 5g were heading or am I jumping to conclusions?
Yes this is right. The plan with 5G PentaG is to have a dense network of small cells on all the lampposts, outside your house, everywhere nos escape, emitting milimeter waves, plus all the microwaves. 5G is a combination of many different carefully selected WEAPONISED frequencies which alter, harm and degrade your biology. This will then enable what they call “The Internet Of Things” where everything is connected – and I mean everything, to this network, which will monitor everything you do and consume in real time. This will be linked to your Chinese Social Credit Score account, upon which your basic eroded freedom will rest. Behave in a way the regime doesnt approve of and your freedom evaporates.
Different frequencies have different effects omn the body – for example the frequency of regular home wifi routers today is 2.4GHZ – same frequency as a microwave oven uses – because that is the frequency of water molecules, 2.4 GHZ excites water molecules. The plan is to introduce lots of harmful frequencies and expose you to then all at once, including sixty GHZ which is the frequency that messes with oxygen molecules. Search for WIGIG and you will see this is already being rolled out in the US – you can buy the routers emitting the frequency of oxygen molecules.
Millimeter waves are what is used in the Active Denial System which left Australians skin burning in the past week. The skin acts as an antenna for millimeter waves, so if anyone tells you 5g is low power and it will just bounce off, this is nonsense, your skin sucks up millimeter waves and they have been proven to cause the most horrific types of harm. Here is a taster of what millimeter waves do to the body:

Trusted messengers! Trusted by who? Did Mr Gates as the arbiter of all truth in his position of the one true God decide that?
All problems that we currently face in this world can be solved by putting lead between the ears of Gates, Putin and Xi.
Cheap and effective.
There are plenty you have missed, why deprive them of such a beneficial treatment? After all, ‘greater good’ and all that.
As soon as they removed Trump, the agenda was put back overdrive. Same names, same investment companies. All done at the same time these globalists let the CCP build their coal powered stations at record pace you’d think there is a little ice age coming…
Just a shout out for Suspicious0bservers at spaceweathernews.com who has been doing sterling work pulling together research that questions the whole man made global warming narrative. Basically, we have a bigger problem coming down the tracks and money is being wasted to ‘solve’ a different ‘problem’ that, with every new research revelation, is shown to be less and less ‘our fault’ and more and more something we have absolutely no control over.
Well the BBC don’t need my licence money. Bill Gates Foundation keeps them ticking over spreading their BS, not to mention the government propaganda money.
Save the money and use virtual reality meteorologists and reporters.
They should have replaced multiple weathermen with graphics years ago.
The creature waves its arms at us! Is it trying to communicate or surrendering to the inevitable trial for Crimes Against Humanity?
