I’ve been taking a closer look at what happened at the start of the pandemic and how it came about, and what we can do to stop it happening again.
There are two basic questions that need answering. One concerns the origin of the virus itself – was it engineered or natural, when did it emerge or leak and where, and what explains its changing behaviour in different times and places? The second concerns the origins of our response: where did the lockdowns, social distancing, masks and other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) come from, and why did everyone adopt them even though they had never been used before and there was no evidence such costly measures would achieve anything of significance?
Here’s what I currently think happened – this article is deliberately concise, to serve as a summary. Follow the links to read more detail on each aspect.
The lockdown and NPI agenda began in the Bush White House in 2005 – though China had previously used lockdowns/NPIs in response to SARS in 2003 and claimed success (despite SARS disappearing everywhere and not just where NPIs were used). U.S. President George W. Bush was worried about biological attacks after 9/11 and the Iraq invasion and asked his team to come up with a whole of society response. The 2005 bird flu scare added impetus to the emerging agenda of ‘pandemic preparedness’ (despite the fact that the scare came to nothing). The plan the team came up with was based on the use of NPIs for social distancing – very similar to what China had used, though the team members themselves did not credit China for their idea but, bizarrely, the high school science project of one member’s 14 year-old daughter.
This draconian biosecurity strategy grew from there. It came to include a stress on the fast development of vaccines and deployment of digital vaccine passes as the exit strategy from restrictions, particularly mRNA vaccines which were seen as a printable vaccine amenable to quick tailoring to emergent pathogens. The strategic preference for mRNA vaccines may explain why U.S. and other health authorities seem to have put much more effort into finding safety problems with the adenovirus vector vaccines (Johnson and Johnson, AstraZeneca) than the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna). Bill Gates was an early convert to the biosecurity movement and became a major patron, particularly as U.S. Government enthusiasm for it cooled during the Obama years.
The new biosecurity-oriented, NPI-based pandemic preparedness ideas gradually became embedded in international policy and practice, including through national pandemic plans, WHO guidance, and pandemic simulation exercises such as Event 201, organised by Johns Hopkins University.
Lockdowns were first deployed on the advice of the biosecurity crowd in Africa in 2014 in response to Ebola, and intriguingly included the strange phenomenon next seen in early 2020 of hundreds of social media bots promoting the idea. Who was behind these ‘lockdown bots’ in 2014 and 2020 has not been resolved.
Tinkering with viruses to help develop vaccines and treatments for potential pandemic pathogens is part of the biosecurity agenda, and it is well known that viruses leak from labs, raising serious questions as to whether the pay-off for research is worth the risk of deadly leaks.
After the virus emerged into public consciousness in December 2019, China put the new biosecurity ideas into action – though interestingly, not until January 23rd, suggesting it initially did not consider the virus to be a threat; indeed, at first the Chinese Government was widely criticised for not taking the threat seriously enough. It is notable that China’s CDC Director George Gao is a member of CEPI, one of the Gates-funded organs of the biosecurity agenda whose mission is to “make pandemic vaccines in 100 days”. As pioneer of the NPI strategy, both in 2003 and in 2020, China became a big pusher of NPIs during the COVID-19 pandemic, with both the pride of the country and the reputation of President Xi Jinping tied up with their success. The World Health Organisation joined in with this to a degree (though inconsistently), with the head of its joint mission on COVID-19, Bruce Aylward, declaring on February 24th 2020 that: “What China has demonstrated is, you have to do this. If you do it, you can save lives.”
NPIs were first imposed in the West by Italy. Early in February 2020, Italy commissioned alarmist modelling studies from a Gates-backed biosecurity institute, the Kessler Foundation, which recommended NPIs to control the spread. When emergency services in Lombardy became, according to their head Alberto Zoli, overwhelmed in mid-February, Health Minister Roberto Speranza (a fanatical socialist who saw, or came to see, lockdowns as a new dawn for the Left) imposed the West’s first lockdowns, first in Lombardy on February 21st and, two weeks later when it looked like they had worked (and as deaths climbed), across the country. Other countries then followed Italy’s lead, while various biosecurity-types, including modellers like Neil Ferguson, pushed the agenda in the open and behind closed doors. 10 Downing Street’s then-Chief of Staff Dominic Cummings told Members of Parliament he was lobbied hard in mid-March 2020 by a “network of Bill Gates-type people” telling him to “completely rethink the whole paradigm of how you do this”.
The consequence of all this was that during the growing panic of early 2020, the world was finally brought round to the biosecurity fanatics’ point of view on NPIs to ‘control the spread’ and, later, on fast-tracked vaccines and digital vaccine passes. Any holdouts of doubt or scepticism among public health officials and others were disarmed or muzzled at this time as a new pandemic orthodoxy took hold among elites. Leaders became politically and psychologically committed to the authoritarian new agenda, which was also reinforced by groupthink and pressure from a panicking general population. This process can be seen occurring in real time, as the vain efforts of U.K. Government officials to stick to a herd immunity strategy in mid-March 2020 were soon abandoned in the face of alarmist modelling, a hostile media and public backlash. The panic behind the scenes, especially in the U.S., may have been driven in part by some officials being aware that the virus was (or looked very much like it was) engineered.
The vested interests of certain groups, such as pharmaceutical companies and trade unions, also played an important role in reinforcing the alarmist biosecurity narrative.
What motivates the biosecurity crowd (which includes figures such as Richard Hatchett, Robert Glass, Carter Mecher, Rajeev Venkayya, Neil Ferguson, Stefano Merler and George Gao) driving this? For many it is, I believe, a genuine belief that what they are doing is saving humanity from deadly disease and preparing it for future pandemics and biological attacks. That certainly appears to be what drives Bill Gates, for example. While motives may be mixed, we should, I think, never underestimate the harm that can be done by those who sincerely believe that they are saving the world – that their radical solutions, however painful, are necessary to avert catastrophe.
What about the virus itself? It appeared no later than autumn 2019 – the earliest reliable testing evidence finds samples (antibodies and antigens) from countries such as France and Brazil dating back to November 2019. There are some samples testing positive earlier, but these lack controls so are more likely to be cross-reacting or contaminated. While some have suggested that the low spread of early waves in East Asia is evidence of earlier spread building up some immunity, the low antibody levels in those populations early on in the pandemic count against that idea.
SARS-CoV-2 appears to be an engineered virus, presumably leaked accidentally from a lab working with samples of it. The engineering is suggested by, among other things, the presence of the furin cleavage site, which makes it unusually infectious for a coronavirus, and probably explains why, unlike SARS, it is both airborne and has driven a multi-year pandemic. Furin cleavage sites are unknown in this type of coronavirus in nature, though are commonly inserted in the lab to increase infectiousness. No reservoirs of the virus have been found in animals, despite a thorough search, and molecular clock evidence suggests it would take 15-43 years for SARS-CoV-2 to evolve naturally from its closest known relative, RaTG13. The extensive cover-up by those responsible for exactly the kind of research that would have produced the virus is also evidence that it is engineered.
Omicron also probably leaked from a lab, the evidence for which includes that it evolved from an extinct strain and that it contained all the previously published immune-evading mutations. It may have been created for the purpose of vaccine research.
There are still some aspects of the transmission dynamics of the virus that remain unexplained. There have, for example, been several phases of spread, each with notably different dynamics.
- Emergence (summer-autumn 2019)-December 2019: Global undetected spread with low disease and mortality burden.
- December 2019-February 2020: A relatively deadly outbreak in Wuhan but little of note elsewhere such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Europe, the U.S. and the rest of China (regardless of NPIs imposed).
- February 2020-May 2020: Some deadly outbreaks in certain regions and cities (e.g. London, New York, Paris, Stockholm etc.) mainly in Western Europe and the U.S., starting in Lombardy (and also Iran).
- Summer 2020: Some deadly waves in other locations not previously heavily affected, including parts of the U.S.
- Autumn and winter 2020-2021: Global deadly outbreaks in most areas, though not India or Africa.
Following this, Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants emerged in succession, each causing a new global wave, including in India (with Delta) and eventually in South East Asia (with Omicron).
My suspicion is that these changing dynamics primarily arise from changes in the virus itself (variants) and how these interact with the human immune system, though admittedly evidence on this from the early phase is sparse.
Molecular clock evidence suggests that the common ancestor of the variants behind the initial wave of December 2019-February 2020 first infected humans in summer to autumn 2019. Why it only started being deadly in Wuhan in December 2019, and then nowhere else until Lombardy and Iran in February 2020, is not entirely clear. Some places did not see deadly outbreaks until much later, in summer 2020, winter 2020-21, spring 2021 (India) or even, in the case of South East Asia, winter 2021-22. For myself, I am convinced this is not because the underlying virus is not responsible for most of the deaths and that instead it is panic/NPIs/treatment protocols, as some suggest. This is because I do not see in the data any clear relationship between when waves of deaths occurred and degrees of panic, NPI stringency or treatment protocols (for example, places which did not panic such as Sweden, South Dakota and Belarus still saw substantial waves of deaths in 2020). The main factor appears to be the variant involved. Bukin and colleagues note that single amino acid substitutions in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 “could increase the pathogenicity and infectivity for humans”.
Some mysteries remain, particularly around what China knew and when. When did the Chinese Government become aware that the virus was spreading, and when did it realise it was a leak? Was the taking offline of the Wuhan Institute of Virology coronavirus database on September 12th 2019 a signal that it already knew or suspected something then, or just part of the general secrecy around coronavirus research? Did the U.S. military know about a viral epidemic in Hubei province (of which Wuhan is capital) in November 2019? Was this Covid or seasonal flu? Why, after announcing the virus on December 31st, did China not lock down Wuhan until January 23rd – was this linked to a Government-backed report on January 24th which concluded human transmission was occurring (though equivocated on how efficient it was)? The same report also provided details on what it said were the first 41 Covid hospital patients in Wuhan during December, stating they were of median age 49, over two thirds had no underlying conditions and six (15%) died. Why were these patients so young and healthy compared to Covid patients elsewhere, and where were all the rest of the patients for a disease circulating globally throughout the autumn and winter? Why was the virus much milder elsewhere that winter, and the next deadly outbreaks were months later, in Italy and Iran – did Wuhan experience an unusually deadly but not very infectious local variant that winter (is this why the Chinese initially had doubts about how efficiently it spread)? So much about the initial reports from Wuhan don’t make sense, and indeed may be unreliable. Yet the reports from doctors like Li Wenliang on how they first encountered the virus in patients in late December seem credible.
These open questions notwithstanding, the above seems to me to be the most plausible current explanation of what happened, taking into account all the available evidence.
A key takehome is it wasn’t just panic. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic represented the triumph of a pseudo-scientific biosecurity agenda that emerged in 2005 and has been pushed ever since by a well-organised, well-funded and well-embedded network of ideologues. These fanatics promote and perpetuate the ideas underpinning the draconian new approach by publishing them in leading journals, planting them in public policy and law, pushing them in the media and smearing those who dissent, however eminent or well-qualified.
This ideology is the enemy, and seeing it for what it is is the first step to defeating it.

Let’s not forget that Hancock and the Department of Health/Public Health England seeded the care homes containing our most vulnerable, with patients discharged from hospital without prior testing for Covid. Was this incredible incompetence, criminal negligence or a deliberate ploy? If there was only time to get to the bottom of one thing about this ‘pandemic’ then that decision would be right up there for me.
That was done to give the appearance of absolute deadliness. If we did that for flu it would give a similar result.
Yes, if you needed to ‘get the deaths up’ to maintain the fear – that would be how you go about it.
There was a senior public health official from Illinois who was found to have moved her elderly parent out of a care home into a hotel just before they did it over there – so I think they knew what they were doing.
Especially if you then add in the Midazolam factor as well.
Hans Rosling wrote about NPI in Chapter 10 of his book Factfullness. In short he admits to making a terrible mistake when he initiated a lockdown on a village in Africa.
I don’t believe the accident, accident, accident, incompetent but decent people, just groupthink, they’ve all really got our back, theory. I don’t buy it because it’s less likely than a cooperative plan and the majority of these same morons definitely do not have our back. I believe there was a leak, probably deliberate, that was used to engineer a response that was designed to instill population wide compliance. On the back of that fear-driven/utterly idiotic compliance there would be an opportunity to bring social and economic reform. There is absolutely nothing that has happened since to make me rethink. In fact, quite the opposite – the West’s bizarre response to war in Ukraine being a good example. Again, a catalogue of poor decisions made by well-meaning people I suppose?
Nope, as difficult and uncomfortable as it is to believe for some, we are being played by these people to fit an agenda. I don’t believe in coincidence, and I certainly don’t believe in a Perfect Storm of coincidences going on into a third year being plausible. Something stank of shit from the start, it still stinks of shit now. If you can’t smell it you probably never will.
I see it as part of a multi-pronged attack on European civilisation, together with Net Zero, mass immigration, multi-culturalism, the demoralisation of our children through the education system and the glorification of sexual deviance.
Are stupid, well-meaning people being used? Of course, but the people in charge are neither.
I’m inclined to agree. Nothing has made much sense in our collective and idiotic responses, let alone all the documentation leading up to this era we’re now living in from Event 201 to Lockstep detailing most, if not all of what has happened. How does the adage go?.. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
As usual FL we are on the same page. I hadn’t read any comments before posting because I was so enraged I just dove in.
Great Post as usual.
When ‘mistakes’ all have exactly the same direction of travel, you mean..?
There is a massive groupthink, but the people making decisions have been ‘schooled’ into making the ‘right decisions’ by the input of the super elite and the supranational bodies that do their business from the shadows.
Yep, I began to get the first sewer whiffs in May ‘20.
You are spot on. For me, I take no praise for being right about why we should not use NPIs and why and what the consequences would be when I wrote to my MP the day after Lockdown in March 2020. I did not see the rapid inflation as a consequence, but it is.
Gates et al are all about control and big pharma is funding them and mark my words, an even bigger catastrophe is being implemented as I write – Net Zero – which will dwarf the damage of Covid.
Eugenicist Bill made a handy 2 Billion from the pandemic there’s a couple of motives, if your looking for them.
https://som.yale.edu/story/2021/gates-foundation-grants-support-faculty-led-initiative-encourage-masking-and-covid-19
This story appears atl and is stacked full of lies, starting with masks prevent the spread. Given the “success” Billy is going to build on this to convince these poor people to take a poisonous injection.
I would say this story alone is enough to debunk Dr Jones’ article.
Ain’t Billy a Saint?
Has Delingpole taken over the DS?
A great article. History is littered with moments and periods in which a few well organised, highly motivated people can change the course of events at a massive scale. And this article seems to at least outline how it may have happened on this occasion.
You disapoint me Stewart.
The severity of outbreaks in Wuhan, N. Italy and Iran appear to have been as a consequence of air pollution.
A coronavirus expert from Hong Kong University in China at the time of the outbreak pointed out that the virus, from its wider effects across China, was simply a severe cold, 06 Feb. 2020.
Troll Alert.
Disengage.
A very plausible summary.
Whatever one’s reading of the motives and the dynamics, very few in power emerge from this with any credit.
Even if you believe some of it was well intentioned, the persistent ignoring of overwhelming evidence since is a conspiracy of monstrous proportions in itself.
It’s likely that many of them are operating in a defensive fashion – looking after themselves, if they can see which way the wind is blowing.
A potentially important aspect was the timing of the West’s response in particular.
IMO it went something like:
There’s also the possibility of US involvement in the original coronavirus research — did the US and China collude in that rapid change of direction in early 2020 in order to suppress talk of it being lab-grown?
I also worry that if the above is correct then there will be nations that are exposed to a ‘blackmail threat’ — For example, if a country had evidence that the US paid for the original research, can this country use the threat of the release of this information to direct US foreign policy? (This would be MAD for many nations, so it would have to be a country with a population used to state control, particularly of the media).
Might this latter threat also exist wrt the vaccines — if foreign nations had evidence of worrysome side effect rates could they use the threat of the release of this information to control the foreign policy of other countries? Are there countries that have only given home-grown vaccines to their own population, and which have only deployed the West’s vaccines under very controlled circumstances?
One thing to watch out for might be a foreign power doing something outrageous (invade a country, say), but where the West’s response is strangely muted (compared with Russia-Ukraine, where the West’s response is strangely eager).
The “Wet Market” theory was well documented in the 2011 film, Contagion. As was the zoonotic jump from bats.
Yes, 2011.
Watch that film and just dare to tell yourself that it isn’t a piece of propaganda paid for by Gates and the like.
The subsequent campaigns by all the actors telling us oh so very sincerely in late 2020 about how dangerous SARS-COV-2 was left me in no doubt.
It’s funny you say that. I had never seen the film before, I’m not big on that type of film.
In any event, it was on a few months ago, so I started watching it (missed the beginning). When they started with the “vaxx” will save us all, I started getting a sense of deja vu, and when they showed those lucky few who had either been vaxxed or recovered (the one thing the US did not copy from the film) wearing a wristband with a bar code on it to enter a shop, I thought just what you’re thinking – the groundwork was being laid on how to handle a ‘pandemic’, even including how to shut down and discredit sceptics who might propose alternative treatments to injections with chemical garbage.
I wonder how many people who had seen this movie one or more times over the years were more amenable to accepting the nonsense, simply because it was already in their minds that this was the appropriate response?
Precisely because I was fresh to it, I saw the parallels you speak of and was a bit freaked out.
One could of course argue that authority figures had also seen the movie and were influenced by it. A former deputy PM in NL suggested NL have a ‘designated survivor’, like in the TV series and resident CDC bimbo Walensky gets her scientific breakthroughs from CNN, so who knows.
Lockdowns, seats taped up so residents couldnt stop and sit, meeting places closed, meanwhile the skies above our airports were still full, and the dinghies rolled in, many just landing on beaches. The extremes of this and then the elderly dying alone, living alone was abhorrent. No logic to any of it. The Gates Blairs and Shwabs of this world would like us all tagged and the Shortages we are about to have forced on us by policies from years ago could be that aim, dependence on government subsidies
I remember a slide at my local park having scaffolding placed around it.
Cemeteries closed up, residents told it was to ‘stop them seeing the refrigerated lorries and the mass graves’
Indeed. All, and I mean all pre-planned.
On the most charitable interpretation of events, the saying comes to mind: ‘None do so much harm as those who go around doing good’.
Alternatively, a line from a song from many years ago: ‘Forgive them, forgive them, and all who rot in Hell with them’.
For myself, I am convinced this is not because the underlying virus is not responsible for most of the deaths and that instead it is panic/NPIs/treatment protocols, as some suggest.
Still a bit early and I haven’t had a second cup of tea yet, so I’m struggling with this …
Interesting analysis though – although I’m not sure we are at all close to answering many of the questions implicit therein, or even as yet understanding what actually happened.
And my gut feel is that the worst part of this tragedy has yet to be recognised or even come to pass: the vaccine injuries and deaths.
And if the “next pandemic” ( a promise or a threat, Gatesy? ) originates in China, specifically a place called Wuhan, where SARS-Cov-2 and Monkeybollox virus experiments have taken place, then it is *definitely* one big agenda and I shall own that ‘conspiracy theorist’ label and wear it with pride! haha…
In fact, does anybody know if there’s any more virus outbreak simulations scheduled? It would seem that this will be the best indicator of what we can expect next to ‘coincidentally’ be declared a global emergency and used to terrorize and control us. This Covid thing is getting old now.
I suspect ‘pandemics’ are so last year’s fashion item now, and in future will be reserved for those stupid enough to keep loading themselves with the MNRA toxins.
It’s all climate change now. Lockdowns were 2020, stabs were 2021, and 2022 is energy/climate change.
2023 will be the supranational imposition of national governments, necessary because of the flailing/failing governments we currently have prove utterly unable to deal with the societal problems with which they are faced, and unable even to maintain law and order.
A reasonable summary
Droughts, hunger, collapsing financial system, bankruptcies, mortgage defaults, increased homelessness, collapsing services, more strikes, layoffs, civil unrest, police brutality, increased incarcerations, increased disease caused by increased unsanitary conditions and collapsing health system.
Total fucking induced and unnecessary mayhem.
“And my gut feel is that the worst part of this tragedy has yet to be recognised or even come to pass: the vaccine injuries and deaths.”
I would bet my bloody car on this.
There is no conspiracy just big pharma. Look at the facts, an improperly tested vaccine was released for which legal liability was removed from Pfizer etc. Meanwhile humans were locked away for 18 months whilst this monstrosity was developed/deployed. Humans are very easily bribed with money. The take away is society should never be halted to facilitate a giant money making exercise by evil big pharma. Oh and should add big pharma created the pathogen also, this is obvious.
It was obvious none of those ‘in the know’ had any fear of a ‘virus’
Lots of people other than big pharma have benefited from this, or think they have, and have used it as an opportunity to advance their agendas. Whatever the initial conspiracy to start with, the deliberate ignoring and suppression of evidence that it was all a mistake has to amount to a conspiracy (in fact multiple conspiracies). I can’t believe that there are not at least some of the major actors in this from various spheres who have knowingly lied and discussed the lies privately. The scale of deception is too vast for it to be otherwise.
Opportunism. There has been no shortage of that, and unfortunately there has been a demonstration of how vulnerable many of us are to being misled or believing in junk products or inappropriate behaviour. I’ll leave it to your imagination, but if you write a list, it will be as long as your arm.
Ministers struck a deal worth up to £119m with one of the world’s biggest marketing companies for a Covid campaign three weeks before the country went into a national lockdown, official filings show…. etc
“…[SARS-COV-2] has driven a multi-year pandemic.” Paragraph 15.
Huh? No it hasn’t. Strange thing to write in an otherwise excellent article.
Well, it depends on the definition of pandemic, I suppose…
Generally speaking, compared with Will Jones’s view he expresses so well here, I put even more down to a concrete plan formulated by well-intentioned and/or malign (it’s hard to tell the difference) powerful people.
“…[SARS-COV-2] has driven a multi-year pandemic of lies.”
And another part of the lie is the use of the term “SARS”. Evidently, for lots of us it is not actually “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome” at all – just another, rather unpleasant CoV. They could add it to the list of the others that are endemic, like HKU-1, OCE-43 and so on, but it might not sell as well, a cynic might say.
Research is an activity which increases the amount knowledge we have about the real world. Consequently, people changing genomes to find out what happens is not research. There’s no reason why we’d need to know what happens when people do this as it simply wouldn’t happen if they didn’t do it.
Spot on.
Well selected photo, btw. It pretty much answers the question…
“the above seems to me to be the most plausible current explanation of what happened, taking into account all the available evidence.”
Far from it. This is probably the least convincing piece of work I have read from Dr Jones.
“For many it is, I believe, a genuine belief that what they are doing is saving humanity from deadly disease and preparing it for future pandemics and biological attacks. That certainly appears to be what drives Bill Gates, for example.”
This scuppers the whole piece. Utterly. Do you seriously expect members on here to believe that Lord Bill of the Gates of Hell is in the slightest bit interested in the welfare of humanity? The man who proudly announces that his best investment decisions have been to “invest” ie push “vaccines?” Never mind what’s in the vials just label them vaccines and push harder. After all a 20 to 1 return is not to be sniffed at is it?
“Future pandemics?” Given that even the origins of the Spanish ‘flu of 2018 is now being questioned it is reasonable to conclude that the last pandemic was the Black Death in the 17th century. So why do we need to plan for “future pandemics?” The C1984 has certainly NOT been a “pandemic” and not even an epidemic. Fictional death certificates, people being shot but labelled as a covid mortality case because they had tested positive with a wholly useless PCR in the 28 days prior. Deaths by influenza and pneumonia almost disappearing from the planet while the C1984 surged, but strangely excess deaths didn’t, or only marginally.
Bill Gates, wanted for mass murder in India, guilty of sterilising thousands of women in Asia to satisfy his eugenecist agenda.
Bill Gates, the biggest land owner in the USA and still buying, why? Insect farms, or just to let it rot in order to starve people? Let’s not forget Billy thinks that with careful use of “vaccines” we should be able to reduce the world’s population by 15 -20%. Some bloody vaccines!
This whole scenario, Scamdemic, has been long in the planning and to seek to rationalise in a sort of semi-scientific manner what has happened and is unfolding is naivety at its extremist – and I am being polite here. The unimaginable evil behind all this should by now be apparent to any self-respecting Sceptic.
There is much more I could take apart but for now I will leave it for the others.
I’ve often wondered how Gates can be such a proponent of vaccines to save lives whilst he thinks the world’s population should be reduced. I mean that’s quite the juxtaposition that I can’t get my head around.
I don’t think I watched that TED talk all the way through so possibly I’ve taken the depopulation thing out of context ( I await a good fact-checking.
), but how can both of his objectives possibly exist and be achieved simultaneously?
Aye. It’s almost as if he knows the jabs have a terrible “safety profile”, negative efficacy. He gets to look all benevolent to the masses and achieve his real aims – all at the same time! And gets rich doing it! Brilliant!
The guy needs to be exiled to a little island in the middle of nowhere with no connection to the outside world. Maybe somewhere with Jacinda, I hear she’s quite a fan of self-isolation.
Maybe self-immolation would be better.
I am definitely in the camp that puts Bill Gates very much at the centre of lockdowns, jabs, masks, the lot.
I know it’s perfectly plausible because throughout history there have been plenty of characters who have been instrumental in bringing about atrocities.
What I don’t believe in is the Hollywood-esque villain that commits evil for power and control knowing its evil and cruel and horrible
I am sure that the Hitlers and Stalins and Pol Pots and Genghis Khan’s and every murderous villain from history did what they did convinced they were serving a greater good.
And the same goes with Gates. I dont know what twisted, contrived rationale druves him to his megalomaniacal actions, but I’m sure in his mind he thinks he’s doing some sort of good.
That’s what makes him and those like him so dangerous.
Exactly my thinking, stewart.
Well for starters, if you’re gonna buy up shit loads of farmland in the US, why be so reluctant to declare your intentions? Is this a publicity stunt or is he just a devious bag o’shite??
Seconded Mogs.
I do not share your generous point of view Stewart. There is more than sufficient evidence available to Billy if he cared to order one of his minions to produce it to convince any sane mind of his evil.
You are suggesting that he does not know the recipe for these “vaccines.” I have been stating for many months on here that these “vaccines” were brewed, I am pleased to say the venerable Dr Mike Yeadon thinks the same.
Billy Gates is first and foremost a Eugenecist and once that is taken on board ALL his actions can be rationalised, at least by those of us still sane enough to do some critical thinking.
I’m not suggesting anything of the sort. I have no idea what he knows or doesn’t know about the covid jabs.
All I’m saying is that megalomaniacal types like Bill Gates who knowingly bring about harm to others do so believing they are serving a greater good. That is why they are able to marshal others to participate with them and be complicit in their actions.
Alright:
H T F can anybody who is hell bent on killing millions rationalise their actions as “serving a greater good?”
For crying out loud.
Because they aren’t hell bent on killing millions. They are hell bent on something else which in their mind is a good thing and are willing to sacrifice the well being and lives of others to achieve it.
Come on HP, it’s not hard to understand. In fact it is pretty important to understand that the most dangerous people are the ones hell bent on doing good, because it is the way they recruit others to their causes and what gives them the power to cause so much destruction.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population Control was the original name for GAVI.
Don’t forget the sheer mendacious evil of this odious excuse for a man
Seconded BB.
‘we should, I think, never underestimate the harm that can be done by those who sincerely believe that they are saving the world’
Will said the above with regard to Gates. I am afraid I don’t attribute any good motives whatsoever to Gates. I believe that his motives (and those of most others involved) have always been about pushing an agenda (for their puppet masters), enlarging his/their own income and there is nothing altruistic about Gates whatsoever. Until people wake up and realise that this was all done on purpose (including the use of nudge units and psychology to induce fear), we won’t be ready for more to come. This is pure evil – absolutely nothing to do with any genuine desire to save the world.
I had a casual conversation with a prospective Brexit Party candidate before the 2019 GE and mentioned that the Tories were no doubt bolstered by Johnson’s leadership. He told me he’d met Johnson and he wasn’t very impressed. At the time; I believed it was sour grapes. After his servile compliance to SAGE, how right he was and how utterly wrong, I was.
Where do the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderburg Group, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation come in all this?
I couldn’t bring myself to read the whole article, because I disagree with the first few sentences. If you look at excess death data from around the world going back 50 years, 100 years, there is no evidence of any “pandemic” in 2020. We know that the infection fatality rate of “covid” is 0.0something. If it was engineered, it appears to be an awful lot like the common cold/flu/any respitory virus and no more dangerous. People keep getting it and they keep recovering from it but they still declare that their illness was worse than any flu they have ever had, because it has to be, because they’ve been told for 2.5 years that it’s so deadly and dangerous. They believe they are lucky to have survived because this is what we have been told to believe for so long.
Here is an extract from Factfullness by Hans Rosling and the dangers of the Urgency Instinct.
Chapter 10 – The Urgency Instinct
“If it’s not contagious, then why did you evacuate your children and wife?” asked the mayor of Nacala, eyeing me from a safe distance behind his desk. Out the window, a breathtaking sun was setting over Nacala district and its population of hundreds of thousands of extremely poor people, served by just one doctor – me.
Earlier in the day I had arrived back in the city from a poor coastal area in the north named Memba. There I had spent two days using my hands to diagnose hundreds of patients with a terrible, unexplained disease that had completely paralyzed their legs within minutes of onset and, in severe cases, made them blind. And the mayor was right; I wasn’t 100% sure it was not contagious. I hadn’t slept the previous night but had stayed up, pouring over my medical textbook, until I had finally concluded that the symptoms I was seeing had not been described before. I’d guessed this was some kind of poison rather than anything infectious, but I couldn’t be sure, and I had asked my wife to take our young children and leave the district.
Before I could figure out what to say, the mayor said, “If you think it could be contagious, I must do something. To avoid a catastrophe, I must stop the disease from reaching the city.” The worst-case scenario had already unfolded in the mayor’s mind, and immediately spread to mine. The mayor was a man of action. He stood up and said, “Should I tell the military to set up a roadblock and stop the buses from the north?”
“Yes,” I said. “I think it’s a good idea. You have to do something.”
The mayor disappeared to make some calls.
When the sun rose over Memba the next morning, some 20 women and their youngest children were already up, waiting for the morning bus to take them to the market in Nacala to sell their goods. When they learned the bus had been cancelled, they walked down to the beach and asked the fishermen to take them by the sea route instead. The fishermen made room for everyone in their small boats, probably happy to be making the easiest money of their lives as they sailed south along the coast.
Nobody could swim and when the boats capsized in the waves, all the mothers and children and fishermen drowned.
That afternoon I headed north again, past the roadblock, to continue to investigate the strange disease. As I drove through Memba I came across a group of people lining up on the roadside dead bodies they had pulled out of the sea. I ran down to the beach but it was too late. I asked a man carrying the body of a young boy, “Why were all these children and mothers out in those fragile boats?”
“There was no bus this morning.” he said. Several minutes later I could not still barely understand what I had done. Still today I can’t forgive myself. Why did I have to say to the mayor, “You must do something”?
I couldn’t blame these tragic deaths on the fisherman. Desperate people who need to get to market of course take the boat when the city authorities for some reason block the road.
I have no way to tell you how I carried on with the work I had to do that day and in the days afterward. And I didn’t talk about this to anyone else for 35 years.
“…Fourteen years later, in 1995, the ministers in Kinshasa, the capital of DR Congo, heard that there was an Ebola outbreak in the city of Kitwik. They got scared. They felt they had to do something. They set up a roadblock. Again, there were unintended consequences. Feeding the people in the capital became a major problem because the rural area that had always supplied most of their processed cassava was on the other side of the disease-stricken area. The city was hungry and started buying all it could from it’s second largest food producing area. Prices skyrocketed, and guess what? A mysterious outbreak of paralyzed legs and blindness followed.
Nineteen years after that, in 2014, there was an outbreak of Ebola in the rural north of Liberia. Inexperienced people from rich countries got scared and they all came up with the same idea: a roadblock!
At the Ministry of Health, I encountered politicians of a higher quality. They were more experienced, and their experience made them cautious. Their main concern was that roadblocks would destroy the trust of the people abandoned behind them. This would have been absolutely catastrophic: Ebola outbreaks are defeated by contact tracers, who depend on people honestly disclosing everybody they have touched. These heroes were sitting in poor slum dwellings carefully interviewing people who had just lost a family member about every individual their loved one might have infected before dying. Often, of course, the person being interviewed was on that list and potentially infected. Despite the constant fear and wave after wave of rumors, there was no room for drastic, panicky action. The infection path could not be traced with brute force, just patient, calm, meticulous work. One single individually delicately leaving out information about his dead brother’s multiple lovers could cost a thousand lives.
When we are afraid and under time pressure and thinking of worst-case scenarios, we tend to make really stupid decisions. Our ability to think analytically can be overwhelmed my an urge to make quick decisions and take immediate action.
Back in Nacala in 1981, I spent several days carefully investigating the disease but less than a minute thinking about the consequences of closing the road. Urgency, fear and a single-minded focus on the risks of a pandemic shut down my ability to think things through. In the rush to do something, I did something terrible.”
The ideologues are embedded in the WHO, GAVI, WEF. Gates Foundation and Public Health Bureaucracies throughout the West.
They all need clearing out but that is an impossibility and we simply don’t have the politicians who have the brains or guts to do it. They are bought and paid for.
The only hope is global civil resistance.
I blame the universities. How, when and why did independent critical thinking go out of fashion? When I was at college, ideologues (people who seek to fit the world around their own personal beliefs and prejudices) were regarded as intellectually challenged. Now all of this guff and balderdash is regarded as mainstream. Creating a global panicdemic should be regarded as a war crime.

That made me smile
A lab leak? Honestly, everyone knows this was a man made virus released to cause harm. Anyone else had enough of the WEF cockroaches including the gentleman in the photo of this article? I know I have.
