The View Suggests Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Plotting To KILL Trump

The level of batshittery on The View just got ratcheted up several more notches as the cackling witches suggested that Elon Musk is conspiring with JD Vance to get rid of Trump.

Host Whoopi Goldberg ranted “Who is in charge? Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that I think Elon Musk believes he’s President. I do.”

“Well, you can call him Vice President,” Joy Behar interjected, prompting Goldberg to continue ranting “I’ve called him Vice President. I called him President because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever said. I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

They’re not even in office yet. What is he supposed to be doing?

“He’s planning the presidency when he got to get rid of Trump,” Behar claimed out of nowhere.

“So you think it’s Musk, Vance?” Goldberg asked her, to which she responded “Possible.”

Goldberg then offered some advice to Trump, “Stay away from the stairways. People put their leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out.”

Gates Foundation Awards $8.6 Million to Expand Development of Multi-Dose Pediatric Vaccines Using Novel Adjuvants

On Dec. 5, 2024, formulation technology company VitriVax, Inc. of Boulder, Colorado was awarded a two-year, $3.6 million grant by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help “fund development of a polio vaccine formulation for possible inclusion in combination pediatric vaccines.” “We are honored to be part of the global drive to protect children from polio infection and contribute to polio eradication efforts,” said VitriVax’s CEO Romulo Colindres, MD, MPH.1 2

According to Vitrivax, it “will be applying its proprietary Atomic Layering Thermostable Antigen and Adjuvant (ALTA) technology to new polio vaccine candidates composed of virus-like particles (VLPs) for use in future combination hexavalent (six in one) vaccines.” It noted that use of VLPs is being studied for the next generation of polio vaccines. VitriVax believes that its ALTA technology could “facilitate the co-formulation of multiple, otherwise incompatible, antigens in a single injection.1 2

New Adjuvant Technology Could Revolutionize Vaccines

On its website, Vitrivax acknowledges that there are “two central technological challenges” that often limit the expanded use of some vaccines. The first challenge is to maintain a vaccine’s thermostability—the ability to resist irreversible change in its chemical or physical structure—during transport and storage. The second is the need to give multiple doses of a vaccine to allow for the most robust immune response possible to infections. VitriVax believes that ALTA is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to enable the production of more thermostable, multiple-dose vaccines and, thus, “redefine the future of vaccine technology.”3 4

Elon Musk & SpaceX Are Helping US Intelligence Build The World’s Largest Spy Satellite Network

On Monday, former Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul told his audience on Twitter/X that due to an “internet outage in our area” he would not broadcast his daily live broadcast, The Ron Paul Liberty Report.

Elon Musk, the executive chairman and chief technology officer of Twitter, responded to Paul, stating, “You should get Starlink”. Finally, Paul asked, “That sounds like a great idea! How much does it cost?”

Starlink is what is known as a satellite internet constellation which is operated by Starlink Services, an international telecommunications company that is wholly owned by Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX. Starlink satellites were first launched by SpaceX in 2019, and now reportedly provide internet access to people in more than 100 countries. They have become increasingly popular because of their ease of setup and relatively low cost.

The most recent numbers on Starlink satellites say the satellite constellation consists of more than 7,000 small satellites in low Earth orbit. SpaceX has plans for 12,000 satellites over the coming years. Starlink is said to have more than 4 million worldwide subscribers.

Ron Paul obviously knew what Starlink was, and he might even be aware that Starlink has been a vital part of SpaceX’s success. However, what Ron Paul and most of the general public might not know is that SpaceX has become a key partner of the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus, and is helping them build a massive surveillance grid.

Steve Jobs’ Widow to Attack ‘Far-Right Disinformation’ in Plot to Censor Opposition to Mass Migration

Laurene Powell Jobs is shifting the focus of her pro-immigration advocacy group to include combatting what she calls “far-right disinformation campaigns”, which criticize her group, Immigration Hub, per Breitbart.

Jobs, 61, is Apple founder Steve Jobs’ widow, and is a billionaire. She is described as a philanthropist, pouring her billions into various advocacy groups, including Immigration Hub. Immigration Hub describes itself as “a national organization dedicated to advancing fair and just immigration policies through strategic leadership, innovative communications strategies, legislative advocacy and collaborative partnerships,” and boasts of former congressional staff and executive officials in its ranks.

Jobs’ new group, Catalyze/Citizens, released a statement this month indicating that Immigration Hub would “expand its scope” to “counter” criticism of their organization and aims. It also stated a goal of pushing changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, in order to “build safer online spaces”.

Section 320 of the Communications Decency Act, as it currently exists, provides for free speech on the internet by making users solely accountable for their own posts. Under Section 320, internet users or services cannot be sued for what a different user says; services are not considered publishers, and therefore anyone who provides an internet service, such as running a forum, is not considered responsible for what people post there.

High Court of Kenya suspends Bill Gates’ special privileges and immunity

In October, the Kenyan government granted the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) special privileges as part of an agreement for cooperation.  The privileges were also extended to the employees of the foundation.

On 4 October 2024, the Privileges and Immunities (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) Order, 2024, was gazetted in Kenya.  The order, made on 19 September under the authority of the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, recognised BMGF as a charitable trust and granted BMGF privileges and immunities status in Kenya under the Privileges and Immunities Act.

BMGF was granted privileges similar to those of diplomatic officials and allowed the BMGF “to engage in contracts, legal actions and property transactions within the country” and granted the foundation “tax exemptions and immunity from legal actions related to their official duties,” leaving many Kenyans “with raised eyebrows,” media outlet Kenyans reported.

“The decision to extend diplomatic immunity has sparked widespread debate over accountability. Critics argue that the privileges shield the Foundation from legal scrutiny, setting a dangerous precedent,” Capital News reported.

On 11 November, the Law Society of Kenya filed a legal challenge against the government to have the special privileges recalled arguing that it undermines public interest and constitutional principles.

“In a letter, Kenyan High Court Advocate Dr. Owiso through Dullo & Company Advocates argued that granting privileges and immunities to private foundations, including their officials and expatriate employees, had implications on Kenya’s sovereignty,” The Kenya Times wrote.

On 25 November the High Court temporarily suspended BMGF’s special privileges and immunities status while the court case is ongoing.

In his ruling, Justice Bahati Mwamuye prohibited BMGF and its directors, officers, staff, and agents acting under its authority from enjoying or continuing to enjoy any privileges and immunities under the Privileges and Immunities Act. He warned that failure to heed the court orders will attract legal consequences.

The Law Society of Kenya has until 26 November 2024, to serve the application and petition to all respondents, while responses are due by 10 December 2024.

Justice Mwamuye also directed the respondents to collect and preserve all documentation related to the privileges granted to BMGF, to be included in their court responses.

The case will be mentioned on 5 February 2025, to confirm compliance and set a priority hearing date for the hearing of written submissions, The Eastleigh Voice reported.

Elon Musk Responds As British Government “Summons” Him To ‘Disinformation’ Hearing

X owner Elon Musk has fired back at the news that British MPs will “summon” him to their parliament to address allegations of spreading ‘disinformation’.

GB News reports that “An inquiry in the House of Commons is meaning to investigate the rise of ‘harmful’ AI content online by calling tech heavyweights to probe the ‘spread of content that can mislead and harm.’”

The report adds that “Labour’s select committee chairwoman, MP Chi Onwurah has called on the Tesla and SpaceX owner to explain his alleged ‘promotion of pure disinformation.’”

Musk responded in typical fashion on X, writing that British MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens.’”

‘A Little Dystopian’: Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates Bankrolling Methane Vaccine for Cattle

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is investing $9.4 million to develop a vaccine designed to reduce the number of methane-producing microbes in a cow’s stomach, Agriland reported.

The funding comes from his Bezos Earth Fund, a philanthropy he established with $10 billion in 2020. The fund intends to distribute all of its money by 2030, by funding projects to “fight climate change and protect nature.”

Researchers at the United Kingdom’s Pirbright Institute and Royal Veterinary College, and New Zealand’s AgResearch are among the groups receiving funding to research how a vaccine could reduce the methane emitted by cows as they digest and expel food through manure, flatulence and burping.

“Vaccines have proven to be an incredibly cost-effective way to deliver global health solutions,” said Bezos Earth Fund President and CEOAndrew Steer in a press release. “If we can apply this approach to vaccinate cattle and reduce emissions, the scalability and impact could be phenomenal.”

Although scientists have sporadically researched methane vaccines for over four decades, no vaccine yet exists. The project’s first goal is to show that such a vaccine is possible.

“This grant is a moonshot for proof-of-concept — risky bets like this are essential to tackling the climate crisis,” Steer said, according to Agriland.

The researchers will study how methanogens, or methane-producing microbes, colonize the digestive tract of calves and how their immune system responds to those methanogens.

FDA approves Gates-backed bird flu vaccine trial: ‘Disaster waiting to happen’

The FDA has approved the first phase of human trials for a self-amplifying mRNA bird flu vaccine developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, funded by the US government and the Gates Foundation. This vaccine, targeting the H5N1 virus, introduces an enzyme prompting cells to produce more mRNA, leading to sustained antigen production, which experts warn could lead to prolonged immune activation and unknown health risks.

Epidemiologist Dr. Nicolas Hulscher described the FDA’s approval as an opportunity for Arcturus to “experiment with injecting humans with H5N1 bird flu replicon mRNA.” The clinical study is funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a division of HHS focused on pandemic preparedness. Arcturus also recently received a $928,563 grant from the Gates Foundation, which has long supported mRNA research.

Arcturus claims self-amplifying mRNA vaccines can provide immunity with smaller doses. However, Hulscher warned that even a small dose might be more hazardous due to the vaccine’s self-replicating nature, as the extent of antigen production cannot be precisely measured or controlled.
