We’re publishing a guest post by blogger “Eugyppius”, where he reviews Bill Gates’s new book, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic. This post was originally published on Eugyppius’s Substack account, which you can subscribe to here.
For days now, I’ve been fighting my way through Bill Gates’s disturbing new book on How to Prevent the Next Pandemic, and I’ve found myself wondering about one question above all:
How are we to explain Gates, exactly?
I know that for many of you he is a calculating conspiratorial goon. Pretend for a moment that he’s not, though. Imagine, for the sake of argument, that he’s every inch the obtuse, naïve and self-important former software developer that he seems to be. How did he get this way, what does he even think he is doing, and what can it mean?
Remember that this man has billions of dollars. A whole world of unusual vices stands open to him: He could hire a mercenary army to invade some country and proclaim himself god-emperor for life. He could retire to a tropical island with his favourite mind-altering substances and a harem of nubile young women. He could do both at once, and other things besides. Instead, he has chosen the path of moral vanity, perhaps the least interesting vice of all, founding a ponderous grantmaking foundation and pooping around the globe in manboobs and ill-fitting polo shirts, pronouncing to all and sundry on subjects he hardly understands.
A commenter points me to Jeffrey Tucker, who, as it turns out, has done critical work towards developing a Theory of Gates. At Microsoft, Gates oversaw the development of poorly secured software overrun by computer viruses. Afterwards, Tucker notes, he
… started dabbling in other areas, as newly rich people tend to do. They often imagine themselves especially competent at taking on challenges that others have failed at simply because of their professional successes. Also by this point in his career, he was only surrounded by sycophants who would not interrupt his descent into crankiness.
And what subject did he pounce on? He would do to the world of pathogens what he did at Microsoft: he would stamp them out! He began with malaria and other issues and eventually decided to take on them all. And what was his solution? Of course: antivirus software. What is that? It is vaccines. Your body is the hard drive that he would save with his software-style solution.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I noted that Gates was pushing hard for lockdowns. His foundation was now funding research labs the world over with billions of dollars, plus universities and direct grants to scientists. He was also investing heavily in vaccine companies.
Early on in the pandemic, to get a sense of Gates’s views, I watched his TED talks. I began to realise something astonishing. He knew much less than anyone could discover by reading a book on cell biology from Amazon. He couldn’t even give a basic ninth-grade-level explanation of viruses and their interaction with the human body. And yet here he was lecturing the world about the coming pathogen and what should be done about it. His answer is always the same: more surveillance, more control, more technology.
Once you understand the simplicity of his core confusions, everything else he says makes sense from his point of view. He seems forever stuck in the fallacy that the human being is a cog in a massive machine called society that cries out for his managerial and technological leadership to improve to the point of operational perfection.
There’s a lot to recommend this view of Gates. It explains specific things, like Gates’s fondness for mRNA vaccines, a genetic equivalent of computer code. More than that, though, it elucidates Gates’s failure to appreciate the essential intractability of many ancient human problems. Gates dreams of saving mankind from disease and poverty – things that are so much a part of what it means to be human, that it seems an error to call them problems in the first place. We are mortal beings; not all of us can be wealthy; we’ll all die of something. Gates the software developer has no experience of problems like that.
The fundamental message of How to Prevent the Next Pandemic is that we can stop future pandemic events by doing all of the things that did not stop the last pandemic event, only more, faster and harder.
Gates can’t get enough of the World Health Organisation. He proposes expanding it with a 3,000-strong division of pandemic shock troops called the Global Epidemic Response and Mobilisation team. That is not a joke; he actually wants to call it GERM. He says it’ll be comprised of epidemiologists, geneticists, pharmaceutical experts, data systems people, diplomats, rapid responders, modellers and heaven knows who else. These people will jet around the world ensuring that an identical response is propagated instantly everywhere, so we can all endure the same catastrophic mistakes at the same time. A Corona tsar for every country, distributed from the same central depot.
Mass testing is another thing that is ‘great’ and that we need more of. Gates wants cheap home tests everywhere, “to make it easier for everyone to get tested and get results fast” (p. 64). He also wants central databases to log all these precious test results. Antigen tests are great, but more accurate rapid testing technologies are even better. And of course we need more genetic sequencing to understand the progress of outbreaks and identify who is doing the spreading. It’s a scene straight out of Brazil: You wake up in the morning, send your mandatory swab through the vacuum tube for testing at the Ministry of Health, and the virus police are kicking down your door while you’re waiting for the coffee to boil.
Probably the strangest moment in this extended paean to the collection and management of disease statistics is the praise Gates reserves for modellers. He thinks pandemic modelling “will eventually do better than the weather forecast” (p. 78), and he thinks modellers have been unfairly maligned by the press. He defends Neil Ferguson in particular:
In March 2020, Neil Ferguson, a highly respected epidemiologist at Imperial College, predicted that there could be more than 500,000 Covid deaths in the U.K. and more than 2 million in the U.S. over the course of the pandemic. That caused quite a stir in the press, but few reporters mentioned a key point that Ferguson had been very clear about: The scenario of his that made all the headlines assumed that people wouldn’t change their behaviour – that no one would wear masks or shelter in place, for instance – but of course that wouldn’t be the case in reality. (p. 80)
It’s hard to imagine that Gates has ever even seen Ferguson’s paper. The Imperial College team were wrong about everything. They were especially wrong about the mitigating effects different interventions would have, which was the whole point of bothering with lockdown-justifying models in the first place.
In another absurd moment, Gates pleads that “the level of uncertainty” in pandemic modelling “can be quite high.” He recalls one modeller’s estimate, from February 2020, that there were “570 cases in Washington state, with a 90% certainty that it was between 80 and 1,500. Any report that omitted the range of possibilities left out some pretty important context” (p. 80). You have to rub your eyes, reading stupid stuff like this. What use is a model that predicts that there might be not that many cases out there, or there might be quite a lot, and how is it any better than just guessing? The open secret about modelling, of course, is that it’s not even a serious attempt at prediction. Modellers are just clients of the containment regime, tasked with developing fancy scientific equations that justify intrusive NPIs. Gates even seems intermittently aware of this, at one moment conceding that Ferguson’s goal was “to show how high the stakes were” (p. 80) (but somehow “not [to] drive everyone into a panic”).
“Help People Protect Themselves Right Away” is the title of Chapter 4, where Gates lays out the case for keeping lockdowns and other containment measures in the pandemicist repertoire. He throws in that vile Fauci quote – “If it looks like you’re overreacting, you’re probably doing the right thing” – and indulges in what is by now one of the most tired arguments in the world:
The irony of NPIs is that the better they work, the easier it is to criticise the people who put them in place. If a city or state adopts them early enough, the case numbers will stay low, and critics will find it easy to say they weren’t necessary. (p. 86)
These pages are the most reprehensible in the whole book. Lockdowns have been an unmitigated disaster; they have ruined millions of lives and wrought untold economic destruction, and yet Gates, who lives in a 6,000 square-metre house and flies around the globe in private jets, waves away these costs with fake graphs and empty assurances that “lockdowns have clear benefits for public health” (p. 88).
Elsewhere, Gates vents his frustration that rich countries hoarded vaccine doses at the expense of the third world, but so great is his myopia that he fails to draw the obvious connection – that it was precisely his precious destructive lockdowns that drove the mad vaccination frenzy of 2021.
No, the costs of lockdowns remain beyond Gates, and in this he is no different than all the other oblivious well-off retirees, who have never thought twice about putting their neighbours out of business or condemning young children to eight hours of enforced masking every day. Climate lockdowns may have been a passing fantasy, but influenza lockdowns are something Gates remains deeply interested in. He even wonders if NPIs could be “paired with vaccines” to “eventually eradicate every strain of flu” (p. 96). Apparently, nobody has told the man that influenza has substantial animal reservoirs, from which it repeatedly jumps to humans.
In this formulaic endorsement of all the crazy policies that have been inflicted on humanity since 2020, two curiosities stand out. The first is Gates’s quiet but clear disillusionment with mRNA vaccines. The best thing he can find to say about them is that they were developed quickly; otherwise, he damns them with faint praise, at one point even writing that masks have been more effective. He dreams of new, better vaccines, indeed “universal vaccines” that can target multiple pathogens and that will provide “total protection” (p. 177) after a single dose. He also wonders about vaccines that can be delivered as a nasal spray, like the “imaginary vaccine for the hypothetical virus depicted in the movie Contagion” (p. 174), and that don’t have to be kept cold. Despite all of Gates’s software geek mRNA enthusiasm, these lines show he’s wondering if another approach wouldn’t have been better. The mRNA molecules decay quickly at normal temperatures, and technology for an mRNA nasal spray vaccine is years away.
The second eccentric moment, is Gates’s seventh chapter, called “Practice, practice, practice”, where he fantasises about all the pandemic war-games we need to have. Table-top exercises are great; “functional exercises” with “simulated disaster[s]” are better; the absolute best is the “full-scale exercise” complete with crisis actors and helicopters.
Gates knows that he’s widely disliked, and that his inability to shut up has something to do with it:
One side effect of speaking out … is that it has provoked more of the criticisms of the Gates Foundation’s work that I’ve been hearing for years. … Bill Gates is an unelected billionaire – who is he to set the agenda on health or anything else? Three corollaries of this criticism are that the Gates Foundation has too much influence, that I have too much faith in the private sector as an engine of change, and that I’m a technophile who thinks new inventions will solve all our problems. (p. 16)
Gates has no real answer to these charges, pleading only that his foundation doesn’t work “in secret,” that they consult “outside experts”. As for technophilia, he is unapologetic:
Innovation is my hammer, and I try to use it on every nail I see. As a founder of a successful technology company, I am a great believer in the power of the private sector to drive innovation. But innovation doesn’t have to be just a new machine or a vaccine, as important as those are. It can be a different way of doing things, a new policy, or a clever scheme for financing a public good. (p. 17)
Innovation, in Gatesland, always works the same way: In the beginning there is a grave problem, which for some reason nobody has noticed or cared about before. Then, there appears an Innovator, very often a woman or a racial minority. This blessed Innovator proposes a simple and obvious solution, which requires mainly grant funding. Thereafter, the problem is no more, and the world is better.
Thus we have the story of Bernard Olayo, who solved the problem of oxygen:
Oxygen is an important component in any health system … and … low- and middle-income countries have struggled [to supply it]. Bernard Olayo, a health specialist at the World Bank, is trying to do something about it … In 2014, Olayo created an organisation called Hewatele – the Swahili word for “abundant air” … With funding from local and international investors, Hewatele built oxygen plants at several of the busiest hospitals in the country … It devised a milkman model: Oxygen cylinders would regularly be dropped off at remote hospitals and clinics, and empty cylinders returned for a refill. Using this new approach, Hewatele cut the market price for oxygen in Kenya by 50% and reached some 35,000 patients. (p. 119)
Or the story of Stephaun Wallace, who is solving the problem of demographically uniform trial participants by recruiting “a diverse pool of volunteers from different genders, communities, races, ethnicities and age groups” (p. 169). Or the story of Sister Astridah Banda, who “is not a doctor but … is passionate about public health” (p. 175), and who is helping to combat Corona misinformation in Zambia by translating English advisories into local languages.
Gates likes to wrap up his anecdotes with statistics that sound good but don’t actually say very much about the success of his blessed innovations: “Her show now reaches more than 1.5 million people” (p. 176), he says.
Problem, innovation, solution, happy: This is how everything works according to Gates. It’s how Maurice Hilleman invented the mumps vaccine, it’s how Katalin Karikó developed mRNA technology, it’s how James Lind discovered a cure for scurvy:
In May 1747, a physician named James Lind was serving as a ship’s surgeon … He was horrified by the number of sailors who were suffering from scurvy. No one knew at the time what caused scurvy, but Lind wanted a cure, so he decided to try various options and compare the results … The citrus treatment won out. … Although the British navy wouldn’t make citrus a required part of a sailor’s diet for nearly fifty years, Lind had found the first real evidence of a cure for scurvy. He had also run what is widely regarded as the first controlled clinical trial of the modern era. (p. 125)
If you look a little deeper, though, you’ll find that almost nothing ever works like Gates claims it does. Lind is a great example. The knowledge that scurvy was diet-related, and that fresh fruits or vegetables could cure it, had been around for centuries. Lind presented the results of his experiment only in passing; he never promoted citrus as the primary remedy, and scurvy continued to plague sailors until well into the twentieth century. It wasn’t poor nutritional discipline that caused scurvy outbreaks, but the logistical problem of maintaining fresh food stores on long voyages. And proving the citrus fruit cure wasn’t enough; without a deeper understanding of Vitamin C, Lind’s solution was incomplete and unstable, doomed to be disputed, forgotten and rediscovered over and over.
Simple, straightforward problems, of the sort that can be rectified through the genius of an innovator and the beneficence of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are so rare that that there aren’t enough to stock even Gates’s carefully chosen catalogue of innovationist parables. Most of what faces us are complex, difficult and multilayered problems, solutions to which will require developments across multiple fields and new cultural and social understandings. The empowered innovator is a convenient myth, and this persistent belief that we are just One Cool Trick away from solving things like viruses is a dangerous, destructive illusion.
Gates, the retired software engineer who can’t distinguish between digital and biological viruses, is one, specific theory of the man. In reading How to Prevent the Next Pandemic, though, I’ve come to formulate another, more general theory. This is simply that, far from being a conspiratorial and calculating agenda-setter, Gates is a follower. He spends his days chasing down bureaucrats and politicians and scientists, pestering them for meetings, currying favour, asking them what to think and eagerly repeating everything they tell him in childish, oversimplified prose to anybody who will listen.
He loves dropping names. Barely has he started writing, than he’s telling us about his “first call with Anthony Fauci,” a man he’s “lucky to have known… for years… long before he was on the cover of pop-culture magazines”. Gates “wanted to hear what he was thinking”; he “wanted to understand what he was saying publicly… so” he “could help by echoing the same points” (p. 15). You can see Gates now, the strange bespectacled boy at the front of the class, begging teacher for the answer.
In another unguarded moment, Gates mentions attending a meeting in March 2020 while feeling sick; masking would’ve been the obvious thing to do, given his faith in them, but “the CDC hadn’t recommended masks yet” (p. 110), so he didn’t bother. Elsewhere, Gates lectures his readers on the virtuous and hardworking nature of medical bureaucrats; he calls them “unsung heroes” and warns against anyone who might be “bad-mouthing” them (p. 160). And in a bizarre Afterword on his hopes for a “digital future”, Gates enthuses about how much easier our newfound reliance on screens has made it for him to stay in touch with “political leaders”. “Pre-pandemic,” he worried that asking for a video call “would have been seen as less respectful than meeting in person” (p. 238), but now videoconferencing is the norm, so he feels better about pinging them whenever he wants their attention.
Gates-as-follower explains the most obtrusive aspect of How to Prevent the Next Pandemic, namely the total absence from its pages of any original thought. Gates doesn’t know anything except what his small clique of court experts tells him. That masks don’t work, that pandemic modelling has been a laughable failure, that it is the human immune system and not technology that places the ultimate constraints on vaccine potential, that corona and influenza viruses have massive animal reservoirs – he has no idea about any of this. Gates is part of an ominous development, a new breed of low-brow elite who present themselves as leaders, while eagerly following every source of celebrity and authority they know. Thus modern society is increasingly caught in dangerous, self-reinforcing feedback loops, a massive ant-wheel, a world of dogs chasing their tails, with nobody in charge. A Davos-directed conspiracy would be some comfort, but our car is heading for the cliff and absolutely nobody is driving. That’s much, much worse.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Fingers crossed the fat bastard has a heart attack.
no no, far more poetic that he succumb to one of his own gene spliced viruses due, not of course to its virulence, but his brewing metabolic syndrome disorder
Yes indeed, let’s hope he’s had the vaccine, but I’d bet he hasn’t.
When last asked he said he hadn’t. The god complex means that rules for the plebs do not apply to him.
Of course not!
Maybe defenestration? It would be apt if his demise was crashing through Windows.
Especially if he ended up in 64 bits!
so currently it’s so wrong it’s not funny and eventually it will just be mostly wrong?
it will be like when Michael fish stated there would be no hurricane, next morning when you open the curtains you would have lost everything
When he has no facts, he resorts to referring to modellers, just like the WHO.
Come on Woodie – the Who are late to the game. It was the IPPC who invented modeling.
Everything he does is a means to one end…he is a Eugenicist on a ‘mission’ which involves us. He teamed up with Fauci 20 years ago.
The BBC weather forecast on Saturday was completely wrong 1hr ahead. One hour! No forecast of rain, then it chucks it down hard for 90 minutes.
If they get it wrong 5 days out, that’s forgivable. 1 hour out, it’s pointless issuing the forecast in the first place.
These people should not be listed to, let alone trusted, until they can admit that they have made dreadful mistakes that have made things worse.
Whether things are ‘worse’ or not depends on what you believe they were and still are trying to achieve,( they have only just begun and have until 2030 to meet their targets) in the “window of opportunity” Schwab said the virus gave them.
Why haven’t more people read the ‘Great Reset’ and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” by Schwab? Half the leaders of the world and Corporates and Institutions are ‘pupils’ of the WEF “Young Leaders” elitist school at Davos and slavishly following the plan. To get the picture, we have to think of the “Moonies”or the “Davidions”. Why haven’t more people read RFKJ’s extraordinary take-down of Fauci and his ‘partnership’ with Gates?
It is clear Gates and his money play a very special part on the global “Health”(sic) /’Vaccinations’ front especially with his funding of the WHO.
After two years of this manufactured nightmare all around us, it is sad to see how many still have not done even the basic research and worked out what this is really all about, so that we can at least have a real ‘conversation’ on how we deal with it to stand any chance of survival . Time for idle speculation is over, we know where all this is heading!
Funny that he doesn’t mention things like:
Why would anyone listen to the moron who gave birth to the software viruses that have plagued us for decades?
– making sure Matt Hancock is never let near a position of power ever again
Can he be banished? It used to work well in the Feudal/peasant world he want to return us to!
Because he’s a con man. He would have to be to convince a world to buy software that isn’t fit for purpose.
A wonderful article thanks Eugyppius. Particularly liked ‘pooping around the globe in manboobs and ill-fitting polo shirts, pronouncing to all and sundry on subjects he hardly understands’ Really well put!
He is the apex embodiment of late stage capitalism. And nothing can really stop him because he has bought the influence necessary to protect him from the consequences of his many crimes. What’s even more extraordinary is that the US Founding Fathers foresaw just the kind of rot and corruption that he and his friends represent. He can buy all the global influence he wants but it’ll be his home nation and its people that finally bring him down I think.
Or, pretty unlikely, he’s on a flight that has to make an unscheduled emergency landing at an Indian airport. He’ll either be arrested or strung up, depending who gets to him first:

All deluded tyrants are stopped, more usually by themselves.
“Significant others”usually play a part -50,000,000 dead in WW2.
It appears that Bill Gates has been enormously wealthy for so long that he’s spent a large part of his life having no one telling him he’s wrong – this will have the same effect on a persons psychology that you would normally associate with deluded kings or power-mad tyrants. There are politicians out there and various public sector institutions with enormous influence and power over government policy making who desperately want Bill Gates money and so they pander to him at every opportunity and entertain his insane ideas even when they’re quite shocking – and it appears that the bounderies normal people have to live by really don’t exist where Bill Gates and his money is concerned. When you think about it Bill Gates is just a software developer who was in the right place at the right time and got lucky – he has no background in medicine, pandemics, climatology etc .. and so nothing suggests he is qualified to influence public policies on healthcare and peoples lifestyle choices except for the fact that he is an enormously wealthy individual who uses this wealth to influence and buy his way into some very important policy decisions that are directly affecting all of our lives – Bill Gates appears to have a lot of political clout for someone who has never ever put his name on a ballot paper and stood for election in his entire life.
People have told him he was “wrong” he either bought them off or out , paid them off or had them neutralised by the Media he controls.
He can write all the books he wants. He can fund the development of jabs until the cows come home. I won’t be having any of them.
I dont think he wants you to have any choice.
He’s going to have a problem then.
“I won’t be having any of them.”
That’s possibly because you are in a position to refuse them. Easy to say in that case.
Everyone in the UK is in a position to refuse them. You say no and deal with the consequences.
Wait until they pass their ‘new’ ‘Bill of Rights’ and then sign us up to the WHO world medical diktat, handing national sovereignty over to them to mandate injections of whatever they choose (overseen by Gates, who funds them, of course)
People don’t like being jobless, moneyless, homeless, and derided by most of the rest of society. Even The Queen told her subjects they’d be ‘selfish’ to refuse the ‘vaccines’.
Easy to say “No” if there are no unpleasant consequences that have to be dealt with afterwards.
Forced vaccination was the norm or “the poor” in mid vctoriamn Brtian. Who knew? See “Dissolving Illusions” Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk.
Obviously this is their model, once ‘Human Rights’ have been kicked out of the way!.
His book is really a warning of the next stage of his plan for Global Pharma/Medical Tyranny as a tool of population control with him in charge via proxies at the WHO. Purely incidently of course- potentially providing the biggest financial return of any investment i history .
Power over life and death plus limitless money – the dream and practice of tyrants through the ages now imagined on a Global scale!
He’s like all extremists, no different, all legends in their own minds
if the berk was never able to stop windows from getting viruses, how does he expect to stop any in real life?
No, no, you don’t understand. The Win OS was faulty from the start, just like the human body, so he was forced to develop anti virus software,
The Fact that UNIX based OS’s like Apple and Linux are largely unaffected by viruses is simply an inconvenience to Billy boy.
Windows sits on top of MSDOS which is also UNIX based. Basically Gates “simplified” it and ballsed it up in the process.
To clarify, I mean that much of the command interface of MS-DOS is similar to UNIX with cosmetic tweaks like using a backslash rather than forward slash.
Jeez, this thread is so technically inaccurate, it’s like listening to Devi Sridhar talking about epidemiology.
But isn’t it the “real life” he wants to stop, not the ‘viruses’?
If this man can bring the world to it’s knees then it seems pointless analysing anything, we are sunk, whose got the white flag?
Don’t worry. It’s a Ponzi scheme.
“Mysophobia” has been used in context with Bill Gates. Howard Hughes and Michael Jackson were previously described as such. See a common thread?
My wife is also scared of Myse.
Sorry, Mice………
That was like a joke.
Only smaller.
That’s like comedy, but without the humour!
“He seems forever stuck in the fallacy that the human being is a cog in a massive machine called society that cries out for his managerial and technological leadership to improve to the point of operational perfection.”
As do all our technocratice overlords. I honestly believe such a pursuit will be the fundamental reason for the destruction of the human race. It necessitates experimentation with the most delicate of natural processes writ large. No room for humility here. It is being pursued with a religious zeal by people like Gates and Musk.
Listen to this to understand where these geniuses think we are headed
https://youtu.be/TDClKEORtko
Keep referring to them as such and they’ll begin to believe it.
The world is controlled by lying criminals. They convinced all the baby boomers this piece of crap (offical NASA image of Apollo 11 Moon Lander allegedly “on the moon” haha!) went to the moon and have been getting away with the most blatantly dishonest crap ever since – totally unchecked.
Gates is the kind of lowlife they love – full of evil and very little else. But the human race has made this bed by behaving like a bunch of brainwashed morons who police each other on behalf of their oppressors whenever anyone calls out the clear cut criminality of our misleaders. Telling boomers the moon landings were faked is like taking a toy from a baby. Stop listening to baby boomers, so many of them are cowards, and that is a big problem. They have failed us so badly with their insane ignorance and gleefully brainwashed disposition – because they have had such cushy easy lives – on the condition that they always agreed that two plus two equals five. So they all went along with that and theyve done very well out of it – but theyve left the world in a complete mess, controlled by filth who have had carte blanche to commit every crime under the sun completely unchecked. The mainstream media in this country covering up these crimes is a group of people who have deceived us all and they should all hang their head sin shame for protecting these lowlifes. Now were all suffering because none of them had the guts to even ask questions, like with 911 and 77. No questions, just acceptance of the answers they have been supplied with. Now go talk abot football.

Gates is in bed with Soviet Israel, hence the super strong Microsoft and Soviet Israel connection. Epstein and Gates connected via Soviet Israel.
Their vision for the world is perfectly summed up by this:
Traitors in the British Government stand to get rich if you surrender your freedom and allow this to be your world. Bankster controlled dystopian hell.
“Telling boomers the moon landings were faked is like taking a toy from a baby.”
You can tell us anything you like, but if you can’t prove what you say, we boomers are more than entitled to laugh in your general direction.
It’s for those who claim we’ve been to the Moon to prove it.
The Lunar module is such an obvious pisstake.
Lol! What proof would you accept? The last person who told Buzz Aldrin that he never went to the Moon received a knuckle sandwich by way of reply. I’ve never been to New Zealand so without proof that it exists it seems reasonable (at least in your world) to assert its non-existence.
“The last person who told Buzz Aldrin that he never went to the Moon received a knuckle sandwich by way of reply.”
So Buzz was unable to supply a reasoned argument.
It’s a question of energy and technology.
I have no trouble believing that NASA could put a large payload into low Earth orbit, transfer that payload into Lunar orbit, get a smaller payload back to low Earth orbit and a yet smaller payload down to the surface.
It’s the Lunar orbit to Lunar surface and Lunar surface to Lunar orbit bits that strike me as so close to impossible as to really be impossible.
“So Buzz was unable to supply a reasoned argument.”
That’s not what I said. Both NASA and Aldrin have given reasoned arguments and provided evidence since 1969, but in the end a knuckle sandwich is all some nutters understand.
How did they get into the suits they wore on the Moon’s surface?
I don’t know how you manage to dress yourself.
I don’t put on something as big as a spacesuit in such a tiny space as the Lunar module after having somehow got there frrom such a tiny space as the command module: my bedroom is vastly larger than both of those spaces put together.
So you can’t answer my question.
You really haven’t demonstrated that putting on the suits is impossible, which you need to do, after all the burden of proof is on you if you claim that such a feat is impossible . If the whole Apollo 11 thing was a fake, don’t you think your ‘objection’ would have been anticipated?
Nope, I don’t have to prove anything.
The burden of proof is on those who claim men have set foot on the Moon.
If my objection has been anticipated why haven’t you been able to google a credible response?
I can’t see what the difficulty is. Why do you think it’s impossible?
Because the Lunar module wasn’t an empty space: most of it was taken up by the rocket motor and its fuel.
And because there is no animation I’m aware of showing how the two moved from the tiny command module into the tiny Lunar module – and where did the two hatches go?- and then got into those big spacesuits: there is simply nowhere enough room.
Yeah, if you say so. And bumble bees can’t fly.
Why did NASA fake the Apollo 13 mission?
How do you know this?
How big was the rocket motor, and how much fuel did it need? How big is the lunar module itself?
If it’s so easy ….why haven’t they been back?
Six crewed landings between 1969 and 1972….a total of 12 men landed on the moon.
None in the 50 years since.
It’s funny how some people think that Man has not visited The Moon, yet believe that some Ivermectin ordered from some iffy folk in India will cure ‘Covid’ (a disease that doesn’t exist!).
Because… err… Google censors The Truth?
Everybody knows The Moon is made of cheese.
Wensleydale – soft and crumbly with nice sharp bite to it!
That’s your reason for believing the moon landings were staged?
I’m happy to accept there’s a possibility they were staged but not on the basis of donning a space suit.
Why does the lunar surface to lunar orbit confuse you?
It’s the Lunar Rover that gets me. A spaceflight that requires everything to be as light as possible, and they choose to pack a car for the astronauts to do a little joy-riding?
A mate of mine said he went to Australia and there was nothing there, just a big X floating on the water.
You’d be surprised how many places don’t actually exist.
A couple of questions. After the retro rockets blew all the dust away from the landing area what was left to make the famous footprint.
Second. Given the intense competition between the US and the Soviet Union it would have been simple, cheap, and easy to leave a ‘calling card’ visible from earth.
Wasn’t the footprint photograph taken before they blasted off the moon?
You mean like the great wall of China?
I just did prove what Im saying – I showed you an image of the so called NASA Lunar Lander that NASA claims was taken on the Moon. The Lander is clearly made from stationary grade materials, including paper and tape. If youre still so brainwashed that you cant see how ridiculous it is to defend this piece of crap, I guess youre gone, exactly that kind of person I characterised in my post and you are exactly the kind of person who has landed us in this mess, helping these criminals to get away with convid and 911 and chemtrails and all the rest of it with no questions being asked because you can never admit there is a problem in the first place, you just call those who point it out names.
Maybe they could rebuild a Lunar Lander replica……oh no they cant because as NASA Astronot Don Pettit said – they have destroyed all the technology they used and its a painful process to build it back up. LOL. Youre being screwed so badly by these people but even prima facie evidence gets the cognotive dissonance treatment.

“The Lander is clearly made from stationary grade materials, including paper and tape.”
Yeah, and the Saturn 5 rocket is clearly a Fairy Liquid bottle with a Blue Peter paint job.
As for 9/11, obviously it was fake because there is no USA or North, Central or South America. How can there be, what with the Earth being flat, Columbus would have sailed over the edge long before he saw land. I mean, do these people take us for fools?
Do you even know what the word soviet means? I’ll help you (or at least I’ll try to), it means council. So you are calling Israel, Council Israel, which makes no sense whatsoever, rather like the rest of your comment.
You have comprehension issues, hence why its so easy for the misleaders to keep tricking you and keeping you right where they want you
The “misleaders” don’t exist, they are just holographic projections beamed from the Moon.
Boomer here. If you understood even the simplest principles of engineering you wouldn’t deride the construction of the lunar landing module.
There is no atmosphere in space so nothing faces atmospheric resistance. The moon’s gravity is a fraction of earths so structures don’t need to be as heavy as on earth to be effective. There’s no wind or rain on, or around the moon, so no need for protective skins other than to reflect the heat of the sun.
Look at the suspension mechanisms of a F! car. Spindly articles holding the wheels on, which successfully, repeatedly endure 5G under braking.
Today that lunar module would be built with carbon fibre spars no thicker than a pencil, and even lighter by length.
I too used to be far more sceptical of the Apollo project, until I fell in love with the DSKY thanks to Fran Blanche in 2015:
Apollo AGC DSKY Display Project, Pt.1

And this wonderful presentation, much more recent:
Light Years Ahead | The 1969 Apollo Guidance Computer
https://youtu.be/B1J2RMorJXM
I sense that many aspects of it were faked for various reasons, and the Kubrick | Lookout Mountain stuff is also compelling, logically.
We lost an awful lot of technological and engineering skills in the move to digital, and this is something I had not understood before I looked into the impressive Apollo Guidance Computer.
Plenty of mystery left with the moon. It’s nothing but mystery, it’s a wildly suspicious object.
LOL, its made of grey “construction” paper and sellotape and shower curtain rails and flimsy baking tray grade sheets of metal.
So to be clear, you accept that its made of paper and sellotape, but youre also convinced that it went to the moon. Gotcha.
Heres more proof you might wish to consider:

Do you post on the Speccie calling yourself Socialist Warrior?
Socialist worrier?
No but if the person you mentioned also posts the hilariously fake Moon Lander image while laughing hysterically at all the brainwashed Boomers defending it, he gets an uptick from me
I’m sure he’s very grateful – loons of a feather flock together and all that.
Judging from the photographs, Mr Gates might perhaps be better advised to take some steps regarding his own health, especially BMI and whether he /she/it is “transitioning”. A case, maybe, of “Charlatan, Heal Thyself”.
Good article. Thanks for reading it…so I didn’t have to!
He did the nubile island thing, didn’t you hear they arrested Epstein and shut it down.
That’s a long explanation. I have a shorter one; he’s insane.
Is Bill Gates undergoing “gender reassignment”?
He’s going to need one hell of a double mastectomy.
Nope, he’ll always be a dick.
He wouldn’t know, he probably couldn’t define a woman, like all Wokists. Anyway, let’s hope the ‘showing’pregnancy goes well.
in those pics above of gates it just shows we are ruled by the weakest among us.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/taliban-orders-all-afghan-women-cover-faces-public-taking-country-back-pre-2001
Afghan women ordered into lockdown – may only leave home for essential purposes. When they do leave home they must wear a face-covering at all times.
Well done Biden. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
Be fair. He doesn’t know whether he is or not!
Eugyppius credits Gates with far too much expertise. He’s not a software engineer, he was a self educated coding geek. Probably working on a Sinclair.
He was a Harvard dropout, not that there’s anything wrong with dropping out of university, but when Daddy is wealthy enough to send him to Harvard then he could undoubtedly afford to waste his money and leave.
Another celebrated man of the people and ‘self made’ billionaire from a ‘modest’ background was Richard Branson, whose father was also comfortably wealthy.
Nice when you know you can take wild risks with your future secure that you can fall back on a nice inheritance. The rest of us have to work every day to put food on the table.
Gate’s business was built on MS DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) which was basically an operating system that IBM dropped because it was so bad.
He was a software salesman, not that there’s anything wrong with being a salesman, but it doesn’t take much to learn how to be one.
He did spot the opportunity to sell cheap, crappy software to computer manufacturers for use by consumers. But it was bad. No GUI (Graphical User Interface) not even a mouse, just keyboard commands. Steve Jobs, on the other hand, modelled his software loosely around UNIX, a naturally more secure and capable OS, and by the mis 80’s or so had developed the GUI.
Gates hastily developed Windows and bolted it on top of MS DOS, and it was the foundation of the age of the computer virus.
When Win 95 came along with it’s internet connectivity it was shockingly insecure. I recall attaching a random bit of software to a single photograph and, with the permission of a friend in Australia, emailed it to him. When he opened the photograph, it invoked the ‘virus’ and I could browse his PC’s hard drive at leisure over a dial up connection.
Gates didn’t, and I’ll wager, doesn’t know the first thing about computer software or hardware. He was just selling cheap junk we would condemn the Chinese for selling us now.
Much like his best mate Klaus Schwab, he’s a con man, and they are both fleecing the world in a monumental Ponzi scheme. The New World Order is a smoke screen, do we really imagine Putin and Xi, not to mention Modi of India, will ever take orders from those two intellectual and political lightweights?
Being that China and India alone have, approaching, half the worlds population between them, just how does this New World Order work, precisely? Or is it just a ‘Half World Order’ and they are exaggerating a bit to make it more appealing to fleece money from gullible western government officials and uber wealthy suckers.
It’s not like either Schwab or Gates would be accepted as a global King and, frankly, between all the billionaires like Gates and Bezos, who would be King? They are such backstabbing, narcissistic megalomaniacs they couldn’t run a corner shop without falling out and opening a rival corner shop called ‘The Newer New World Order’.
Just look at Puma and Adidas sportswear Two brothers who fell out over the amount of cash they were making in their business, so one opened a factory across the river from the other to out compete him.
These morons are to be pitied more than feared.
Gates has enormous power through money, is a Eugenicist and a “partner” of Fauci, controls the WHO, which he funds and he talks about nothing more than using ‘vaccines’ to control world population – don’t people listen?
That seems pretty scary to me!
‘I made a fortune. I am a genius in all matters.’ A common phenomenon.
Gates may be some kind of genius, but genius usually operates within fairly well defined boundaries. Einstein could get lost going home. Beethoven wrote beautiful music but had a ferocious temper.
Ferguson is not an epidimiologist. In fact he’s very boastful of the fact that he doesn’t even have O level biology. Just another bare fact Gatea has got wrong.
in the book Accidental Empires , the definitive book on the early days of the PC software business, Gates was characterized as a psychopath. The book had many unflattering stories about Gates. All true. I’ve worked in the business since the early 1980’s so heard all the stories and a lot more beside,
By an odd coincidence I had this psychopath characterization confirmed first hand by someone outside the business. By someone had known Bill and his mother since Bill was a baby. I lent my copy of the book to the mother of a friend in the early 1990’s. Who lived in Bellevue, Washington. I discovered later the book had been further lent to the Gates family friend. Who was interested to read what it said. The book was return with a simple comment – Yes, that’s Bill. Thats exactly how he is.
Gates has little technical ability. Even in the Altair 8800, pre Apple II days, he and Allen were considered a bit of a joke. Allen was the more technical. Which was not hard. Gates was always a predatory rich kid criminal psychopath. Which Microsoft very long history of lost court cases show. They always settled out of court, eventually.
He was always little more than a charmless gauche parody of Steve Job. Another nasty piece of work. For me the sign of just how low Gates would stoop was the length his company went to defraud his home of Washington out of billions of dollars in sales taxes even though it was the states only real source of revenue. To pay for schools, roads, hospitals etc. Microsoft dragged the case on for many years and eventually the company paid out a billion of what was owned. The state having to give up as Microsoft was willing to run up huge legal bill rather than pay the (discounted) sales tax they owed.
Gates should have been put in jail many years ago just for his long pattern of criminal contract fraud. Let alone all the tax evasion and outright theft of ip from other companies. Microsoft products have always been technical mediocre and only succeed because of outright criminal behavior. And the (very) occasional utter incompetence of their competitors. But criminal predatory behavior accounts for almost all of it.
I’d put Gates on the same moral level as a narcos patron. A career criminal who deserves nothing but contempt.
That doesn’t sound a million miles from what I heard in the 80’s.
”Deserves nothing but contempt”? I can think of a few things he deserves – besides contempt.
God help us!
Because this thick nerd with a god complex will destroy us.
Calm down dear. He’s a con man with a Ponzi scheme.
If only that were true . Wait until Johnson signs over our Bodily Autonomy to the Gates run WHO, to allow it to force Gates’ vaccines onto us through mandates!
Win 11
“It’s so cold in the tent today our breath is freezing to the fabric. We have lost many on this interminable trek to the pole and I fear we may never reach it. Supplies are running low but we still receive our daily update to our Gates Operating System. An hour or so huddled round a screen watching “please do not switch off your computer” with a little circle thing going round and round is at least an amusing distraction from our inevitable fate.”
“FUKK! The damn thing crashed again”
“I’m going outside, I may be gone some time, and when I get back that damn thing better be working or I’m feeding it to the next passing Polar Bear – up it’s arse!”
I recently switched from Mirosoft laptops to Apple lap tops.
Pro’s and con’s really except that my MacBook only has an update once every few months rather than almost daily.
It does have one glitch, giant arrow syndrome. Seriously, every now and then, and just for a microsecond, the mouse arrow ‘blips’ to about ten times it’s size.
Doesn’t half distract you from searching for Dominator Tractors.
Giant arrow syndrome is annoying, but you can disable it (“Shake mouse pointer to locate” in System Preferences, Accessibility, Display).
The point here is that Gates gave us never-ending-update-syndrome that fixes one problem and creates ten more, eventually killing the computer. Now he wants to do the same with his damned “vaccines”.
Interesting take on Gates. I must say, prior to this I always considered the guy super intelligent but reading some of his musings here -I hope they aren’t quoted out of context – reveal him to be a bit of a dullard, no different to the other gobshites with access to enhanced social media profiles. Interesting and if all this is true, he really needs to be put back in his box so he can do what he does best which seems to be designing and writing crappy software.
My recollection from being involved in the industry back in the early 80s was that Gates struck incredibly lucky when IBM (the major computer manufacturer at the time) agreed to use his MS-DOS operating system on their about to be launched PC without buying the full rights to the code. So he kept all that and made his millions as a result. I’m not sure how much he was the brains behind MS-DOS, there were two founders of Microsoft, him and Paul Allen.
Perhaps BG has always been the useful idiot.
“Gates dreams of saving mankind from disease and poverty ” Really? Then why does he support the WEF/UN and their population reduction policy? Will he volunteer to be one of the first to be culled?
Why do people believe the ” philanthropist” BS propaganda about himself he (like Soros) pays so much to have pumped out?
Are these the same people who believe what they are told by BBC news? I think they are.
Gates is a multi billionaire geek who demonstrates perfectly the story of the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ and the dangers of listening to sycophants. But what is worse is him calling Ferguson an epidemiologist. He’s a physicist who uses some extremely crappy code to make forecasts that are grossly wide of the mark. Everybody on LS/DS were given a superb breakdown of the garbage code back at the start of this nonsense. So if we all knew, how come this self styled software genius didn’t?
The man is a deluded megalomaniac, and as for wanting to save the world, it’s not by saving humanity, but carrying on the eugenics plans of his Father. There is nothing altruistic in his plans, the very opposite!
Excellent takedown.
And of course he’s one of Schwab’s Young Global Leaders of the WEF.
We must find a way to prevent Bill Gates.
The Bulgarians seem to love him – all their road vehicles have BG at the back.
What we need saving from is geeks with Aspergers.
Cross out ‘preventing’ and add ‘causing’ and in my view, you’ve nailed it, Eugyppius…
It is the corruptness at the heart of US politics that has created Bill Gates meddling in these affairs. Microsoft, Amazon et al should have been broken up years ago. These people are no different to the robber barons that Roosevelt put on a leash more than a century ago.
After two years of blasting out pretty much whatever they feel like blasting out, I have completely shut off the media – and never more so than when Billy Boy comes on. The guy comes across as a blandly vacuous schoolboy with a nasty streak whose only talent lies in ripping off others. And as such he is a perfect front man for The Company. He kind of fits certain theological conceptions of The Devil i.e. incapable of creating and therefore addicted to stealing.
Here’s one example:
One list that seems to be ubiquitous on the net is “11 Rules of Life (and Management?) by Bill Gates” (the “managment” bit is optional) – as in:
http://homepages.se.edu/cvonbergen/files/2013/01/11-Rules-of-Life-by-Bill-Gates.pdf
Very macho, eh? … except that our Bill never came up with it. It was one Charlie Sykes:
https://web.mst.edu/~adekock/Sykes-11-rules.html
All of which is deeply ironic considering the contents of the list.
”….it was precisely his precious destructive lockdowns that drove the mad vaccination frenzy of 2021.”
Surely, that was to his advantage, and nothing to do with ”his myopia”?
“a world of dogs chasing their tails, with nobody in charge. A Davos-directed conspiracy would be some comfort, but our car is heading for the cliff and absolutely nobody is driving. That’s much, much worse.”
That’s not true. The claim that no one is in charge is also made by Klaus Schwab as he wants a world government and Gates etc. are busily taking control of this world. The sovereign individual is the best bet for all and the resulting natural co-operation has produced all of the best human advances, while the worst have all come from unnatural and forced collectivism. Except the sovereign individual is the biggest threat to those that want world government. The whole Covid debacle is about controlling the individual and nation states.
‘The concept of national sovereignty has been immutable, indeed a sacred principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation.‘ UN’s Commission on Global Governance:
He has always been a follower like it says. Windows idea stolen from Apple. It’s a desire to be held in awe that drives him. Not really the best type to dictate policy..
One of the most dangerous men alive?
I am astonished that noone posted this here BTL yet.
It really is the only response needed to this book.
Gates is no software engineer. The original Microsoft product was programmed by Paul Allen and marketed by a company founded by Allen and Gates. The product that was to make Microsoft a hugely successful company, namely MS/PC-DOS was something he (Gates) bought from the person who developed it and the so-called success of Mircosoft was nothing but riding on the coat tails of IBM. PC-DOS was the operating system for the IBM PC. Hence, everybody who wanted to use one had to pay a sort of tax to Microsoft. Technically, DOS was even poor for the standards of the day and users of PCs continued to be held back by technically sup-par Microsoft software not even remotely capable of making use of the full features of the hardware it was running on for almost the next 20 years. Gates is a parasite who made loads of money from other people’s work and fortunate contracts with companies who actually produced innovative products.
I have no current information the operations of his foundation but its historic modus operandi was that it engaged in stuff Gates profited from (eg, handing out free Windows licenses in so-called third-world countries) which was then marketed as being for some greater good. Hence, I suspect that he’s also profiting from his Corona-related activities.
The story of MS/DOS is also a story of outright contract fraud by Microsoft. MS/DOS a.k.a Q/DOS was written by Tim Patterson for Seattle Computer Products down in Renton. MS sold a Z-80 card for the Apple II and bundled QDOS with the card. Standard bundle licence. Bulk discount, no 3’rd party distribution rights.
IBM had been blown off by Digital Research (who made CP/M 86) for very good legal reasons so IBM who had already licensed MS Basic for the IBM PC asked MS about an OS. MS said – we just happen to have one – and then tried to get an unlimited 3’rd party distribution licence from SCP without disclosing they had already signed a contract with IBM. MS said it was for one of their own hardware products. SCP said no, returned the contract with that part struck out. MS kept sending a new contract over with the 3’rd party distribution clause stuck in somewhere new.
On the sixth or seventh round trip for the contract it was a Friday evening and the CEO of SCP Rodney Brock asked the MS guy was the new contract the same as the one Brock had returned to MS the day before with the 3’rd party clause struck out. MS guy lied yes so Brock signed the contact. It was a small company, maybe 9 employees, and he had wasted too much time already dealing with the MS’s lawyer the previous few weeks.
Microsoft soon hired away Tim Patterson who had written Q/DOS (another story) and SCP soon discovered the contract had been fraudulently misrepresented. A fraudulent licencing contract. MS were selling SCP’s product to IBM at a huge profit. Brock threatened to sue but Bill told him – go on, sue us. My dad is senior partner in one of Seattle biggest (and sleaziest) law firms. We will bankrupt you.
Eventually someone fronted Brock the money to sue MS. Even back then MS had lots and lots of enemies. Mainly people they had defrauded one way or another. MS had a toxic reputation from the very beginning. And eventually the case was settled out of court. But not without MS trying to use every nasty trick in the book. The settlement was secret but was in the region of $30M. This was mid / late ’80’s so not small change. Peanuts compared to the billions MS made but like all people who deal with MS it was a – life’s too short – decision for SCP. MS legal will keep litigation going for decades just to grind down the other side.
I really cannot think of one senior exec at MS over the decades who should not have spent some time in jail. And as for Bill. He should have been busted back at the very start. Which he would have been. If IBM had not successfully dismantled the DOJ Anti Trust Division in 1981.
There is an irony in there somewhere.
He usually goes for the pastel pink jumper to make you think he’s a harmless geek.
His book is a desperate, damage control response to JFK junior’s Real Anthony Fauci.
They are losing their grip and they know it, but that only makes them more dangerous and ready to pull the next big scam. Food shortages are going to be part of it, but they absolutely want another pandemic, because it’s their best way for a world government to become reality.
I’m definitely not taking health advice on vaccines or anything else from a pregnant chap sporting moobs.
A very dangerous man who lives by the motto, one rule for me and another for the rest of you. Flying around the world with his family on a private jet. Friend of Jeff Epstein, wife divorcing him because….something smells. So very many disturbing stories about this man should stop everyone in their tracks. Read vaccination outcomes, in third world countries, that were “sponsored” by the bill and melinda g foundation. A very disturbing, very disturbing story!
If you want to know all about Gates and how he became successful based on other people’s hard work and the way he acted to undermine any opposition, do some research. He wasn’t even a good programmer. The story of Gates is enough for any one to know it doesn’t take hard work or excellence to be succesful, you just need to be an a***hole.
Bill Gates has been captured by the deep state. There are many pictures on the net with him hanging out with Epstein. He tried to explain it away by saying that Epstein had a lot of contacts with charities. Right. He will do ANYTHING that his CIA handlers tell him to do.If he doesn’t he will lose his freedom, probably for the rest of his life.
