Gates Foundation Awards $4M Grant To Fund Digital ID Initiative

The Gates Foundation continues to bankroll various initiatives around the world aimed at introducing digital ID and payments by the end of this decade.

The scheme is known as the digital public infrastructure (DPI), and those pushing it include private or informal groups like the said foundation and the World Economic Forum (WEF), but also the US, the EU, and the UN.

And now, the UK-based AI and data science research group Alan Turing Institute has become the recipient of a renewed grant, this time amounting to $4 million, given by the Gates Foundation.

This has been announced as initial funding for the Institute’s initiative to ensure “responsible” implementation of ID services.

The Turing Institute is presenting its work that will be financed by the grant over the next three years as a multi-disciplinary project focused on positive issues, such as ensuring that launching DPI elements (like digital ID) is done with privacy and security concerns properly addressed.

But – given the past and multi-year activities of the Gates Foundation, nobody should be blamed for interpreting this as an attempt to actually whitewash these key issues – namely privacy and security – that opponents of centralizing people’s identities through digital ID schemes consistently warn about.

In announcing the renewed grant, the Turing Institute made it clear that it considers implementing “ID services” a positive direction, which according to the organization improves anything from inclusion, access to services and to human rights.

But apparently, some “tweaking” around privacy and security (or at least “enhancing” the perception of how they are handled in digital ID programs) – is needed. Hence, perhaps, the new initiative.

“The project aims to enhance the privacy and security of national digital identity systems, with the ultimate goal to maximize the value to beneficiaries, whilst limiting known and unknown risks to these constituents and maintaining the integrity of the overall system,” the Institute said.

Bill Gates Invests Millions in ‘Climate Vaccines’ to Reduce Methane Emissions From Cows

Bill Gates has long been a proponent of vaccines in general and more recently,  mRNA vaccine technology.

Now, he may have his sights set on developing a vaccine to combat climate change by targeting the methane emissions of livestock.

ArkeaBio, a Boston-based ag-biotech startup, recently raised $26.5 million in a Series A financing round to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” via the development of a “methane vaccine,” the company announced in a May 8 press release.

Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Gates and which first invested in ArkeaBio in 2022, led the financing round.

The company said:

“ArkeaBio’s vaccine will provide an innovative, cost-effective, and scalable solution to reduce the world’s livestock methane emissions, which currently generate the equivalent of 3 Billion Tonnes of CO2 annually and represent 6% of annual Greenhouse gas emissions.”

Biden White House Signs on to New Gates-Funded Pandemic Surveillance Plan

The Biden White House on Tuesday announced a new 50-country partnership to “combat future pandemics” by identifying and responding to infectious disease outbreaks, journalist Kim Iversen reported on a recent episode of “The Kim Iversen Show.”

The administration released a 64-page document detailing the program, which it said aims to strengthen “global health security” and “prevent, detect and effectively respond to biological threats wherever they emerge.”

“We know exactly what that means,” Iversen said. “They’re going to be hunting down Disease X, which is what the [World Economic Forum] called it during their Davos meeting, where they’re like, ‘We’ve got to be prepared for Disease X, because Disease X is going to get us all.’”

The Biden administration said it already supports 50 countries and has committed to support 50 more, primarily in Africa and Asia, to develop better testing, surveillance, communication and preparedness to “prevent pandemics” like the COVID-19 outbreak.

“You thought the pandemic health treaty, which gives away our sovereignty, was scary?” she asked, referring to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) proposed pandemic agreement, which is up for a vote by member states next month. “Well, this is almost as bad.”

Several U.S. government agencies — including U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — will implement the program.

Lancet Study Funded by Bill Gates Lays Bare Failure of Lockdowns and Vaccines

A new study published in the Lancet and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation on the “Global Burden of Disease” has laid bare the failure of pandemic interventions such as lockdowns and vaccines.

Published on April 3rd, the study included global age standardised mortality data during the pandemic. This Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, as the name suggests, is a massive global disease impact assessment. The report includes age-stratified mortality data from the first two years of the pandemic and therefore provides an indication of the global effectiveness of the measures implemented. The methods used for determining pandemic mortality incorporate excess death data combined with infection rates and COVID-19 specific deaths. The data within this report paint a concerning picture and demonstrate a substantial increase in global mortality across all age groups between 2020 and 2021.

Bill Gates-founded energy company set to construct $3 billion nuclear power plant in Wyoming that could be operational by 2030

A power company co-founded by Microsoft‘s Bill Gates has announced plans to begin building a new type of nuclear power plant in the US this summer.

TerraPower revealed it plans to apply for the necessary permits this month to start construction on a next-generation nuclear reactor at the start of June in Kemmerer, Wyoming.

The Washington-based firm has received an estimated $1 billion in funding from private investors, which will be combined with a promised $2 billion from the US government.  

The reactor is unique in the world of nuclear power, as it is cooled with liquid sodium rather than water – an efficient strategy, but one that has proven dangerous in some cases because of sodium’s explosive reaction if it touches water.

TerraPower’s announcement puts it in a nuclear energy race against Russia and China. 

The two superpowers are working to develop and export cheaper reactors, and the Natrium one represents TerraPower’s attempt to enter that market, the Financial Times reported.

In December, the company inked an agreement with Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation.

That deal will see TerraPower exploring the use of its Natrium reactors to not only generate electricity in the United Arab Emirates, but also produce hydrogen – a notoriously energy-hungry process.

TerraPower CEO Chris Levesque told FT that they plan to apply this month for the necessary permits to begin construction in June, but whether or not the company has received approval yet, they will begin building then.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is in charge of approving construction of new nuclear powerplants. 

The next-generation reactor, called ‘Natrium,’ can be built for half the cost of water-cooled ones, the standard nuclear power technology for decades, Levesque said.

Bill Gates Partner GAVI Vaccine Alliance Targets Online Memes

An international group promoting vaccines with ties to the Gates Foundation in going after memes. Whatever could make more sense?

But things here aren’t as haphazard as they might seem. Bill Gates is known, and rich, for two things: as the founder of one of the most oppressive (in terms of design, security, and historically predatory toward free-as-in-freedom competing technology) companies ever – Microsoft.

And the other is Gates – now as a billionaire – reinventing himself through his “uncanny valley” philanthropic efforts, centered and emanating from his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and focusing by and large on all sorts of vaccines, and – agriculture.

One of those involved, the GAVI Vaccine Alliance (that gets money from Gates) now wants to reframe memes – internet’s succinct expression of humor and satire – as “health disinformation super-spreaders.”

And we’ve heard this one before – this genre, that, in the digital age, might as well be considered as any other artistic format in previous times, is said to be capable of evading “fact checkers and content moderators” (i.e., censors).

In previous eras and authoritarian states, that would get the books with imagery and words characteristic of memes banned or burned.

So what could be the solution in the current era? And what does the big picture amount to?

Bill Gates Hopes AI Can Reduce “Polarization,” Save “Democracy,” Ignores Censorship Implications

The notion that whoever controls and shapes AI could potentially wield significant influence over large swathes of society could be one of the most alarming and prominent over the next few years.

In a recent episode of “Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates,” Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and tech billionaire Bill Gates controversially delved into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for maintaining democracy and promoting world peace.

The discussion was aired on January 11, 2024.

Read the transcript for the episode here.

The conversation explored the idea of using artificial intelligence as an instrument to foster unity in society, enhance global amity, and help overcome geopolitical polarization.

Microsoft, founded by Gates, and OpenAI, whose CEO Altman is currently working closely with Microsoft, are promoters of using AI to solve global issues.

Gates spoke excitedly on the topic: “I do think AI, in the best case, can help us with some hard problems…Including ‘polarization’ because potentially that breaks democracy and that would be a super bad thing.”

In addition to resolving polarization, the two heavyweights also discussed the notion of AI potentially acting as a peacemaking tool.

The Paedo Files: Shocking & Horrendous Truth about Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein & Microsoft

In early May 2021, the announcement that Bill and Melinda Gates would be divorcing after twenty-seven years of marriage shocked both those who praise and those who loathe the “philanthropic” power couple.

Less than a week after the initial announcement of the divorce, on May 7, the Daily Beast reported that Melinda Gates had allegedly been “deeply troubled” by Bill Gates’s relationship with child sex trafficker and intelligence asset Jeffrey Epstein. The report suggested that Melinda was a major reason for her husband’s decision to distance himself from Epstein around 2014 because of her discomfort with Epstein after they both met him in 2013. That previously unreported meeting had taken place at Epstein’s mansion on New York’s Upper East Side.

The Daily Beast also revealed that the details of the Gates’s divorce had been decided several weeks prior to the official announcement. Then, on May 9, the Wall Street Journal published a report suggesting that the plans for divorce went back even further, with Melinda having consulted divorce lawyers in 2019. Allegedly, that consultation was made after details of Bill Gates’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein had gained considerable mainstream media attention, including from the New York Times.

While mainstream media outlets apparently agree that Jeffrey Epstein was a likely factor in the Gates’s recently announced split up, what these same outlets refuse to cover is the real extent of the Bill Gates–Jeffrey Epstein relationship. Indeed, the mainstream narrative holds that Gates’s ties to Epstein began in 2011, despite the evidence pointing to their relationship beginning decades earlier.

This blanket refusal to honestly report on the Gates-Epstein ties likely is due to Gates’s outsized role in current events, both in terms of global health policy as it relates to COVID-19 and in his being a major promoter and funder of controversial technocratic “solutions” to a slew of societal problems. What is more likely, however, is that the nature of the relationship between Gates and Epstein before 2011 is even more scandalous than what transpired later, and it may have major implications not just for Gates but for Microsoft as a company and for some of its former top executives.

This particular cover-up is part of an obvious tendency of mainstream media to ignore the clear influence that both Epstein and members of the Maxwell family wielded—and, arguably, continue to wield—in Silicon Valley. Indeed, the individuals who founded tech giants such as Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon all have connections with Jeffrey Epstein, some closer than others.

This investigation is adapted from my upcoming book One Nation Under Blackmail, which will be released early next year and will include a more complete investigation into Epstein’s ties to Silicon Valley, scientific academia, and intelligence agencies.

Bill Gates is accused of being pictured with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims in photo taken by the pedophile financier himself in March 2014 – years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting

A shocking new photo published by The Wall Street Journal appears to show Microsoft founder Bill Gates standing alongside a Polish model, in her 20s, who says that she was one of financier Jeffrey Epstein‘s alleged victims. 

Gates and Epstein’s friendship has been well documented with the billionaire saying he regretted their relationship. The new photo was taken in 2014, six years after Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to procuring a child for prostitution. 

During an interview with CNN this year, host Sarah Ferguson asked Gates whether he was warned by his former wife about Epstein’s ‘way of sexually compromising people.’

In an interview with WSJ, the Polish model says that she flew alongside Epstein to meet with Gates in his Microsoft office in Seattle in 2014. She was one of the many women who became ensnared by the pedophile with promises of a career and success. The picture was taken by Epstein himself, she alleges.

‘Now when I look at myself there, it couldn’t have looked normal. I saw the looks of those people, like what is she doing here?,’ she told the outlet. The woman also posed for a photo with disgraced Oscar-winner Woody Allen. 

A spokesperson for Gates told the Journal that he did not interact with the model when she visited his offices. According to her, Epstein had promised her a job with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Gates’ representatives for comment on this story. 

The report adds that shortly after meeting, Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahn, wrote a letter in support of her visa application. The application said that the woman would be doing work for the foundation in Africa. 

An itinerary for a trip to Africa on behalf of the foundation was also emailed to the woman via Epstein from Gates Foundation deputy director Melanie Walker. Walker too was a visitor to the pedophile’s home in Manhattan. 

Another woman who was associated with Epstein, a Russian Model, allegedly showed a Wall Street Journal reporter three pictures of her with Gates in three different places, including a hotel and Epstein’s house. 

She also said that the photos were often Epstein’s idea and that he told her to post them on social media.

A Threat To Humanity: WHO, Gates, and Big Pharma Make Pandemic Treaty

Intended to form part of international law, preparations for the creation of a World Health Organisation (“WHO”) Pandemic Treaty or Pandemic Accord began in 2001.

Far from strengthening the prevention of, preparedness for, and response to future pandemics as the latest draft of the text claims, its implementation could severely undermine democracy by limiting the ability of national parliaments to make crucial healthcare decisions in the best interests of their citizens.

Aided by proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations of 2005, the Treaty threatens to transform the WHO into a global health dictatorship.
