The Backstory on Bill Gates’ Secret ‘Q’ Clearance Is Revealed — And It Is Chilling

The mystery surrounding Bill Gates’ extraordinary access to some of the federal government’s most sensitive information is a bone-chilling look at how America’s elites are corrupting our government.

And the latest trail leads through nuclear research, the Pentagon, DARPA — and, strangely enough, Jeffrey Epstein.

It all began when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) dropped a massive batch of government records last month, revealing, among other things, that Gates possessed a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance for more than seven years.

DOE describes Q access authorization as comparable to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance. Depending on an individual’s need to know, it can permit access to highly sensitive Restricted Data involving nuclear programs.

Gates’ authorization was “reciprocally granted” on June 11, 2014, and terminated on December 6, 2021, according to the DOE letter released by Paul. In other words, DOE recognized an existing clearance granted through another federal agency rather than starting from scratch.

Which agency? DOE didn’t publicly say.

But investigator Sayer Ji, who is the Senior Adviser to MAHA Action, has assembled a timeline that provides a potentially important piece of the puzzle — and Paul himself is drawing attention to it.

“Fantastic explainer here,” Paul wrote. “Gates, a private citizen, had ‘Q’ level clearance, which is equal to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance and is required to handle sensitive nuclear weapons data and Restricted Data. Was this for DARPA? And why? This was long before COVID-19.”

U.S. Ambassador Barrack: Israel Bombed Syria During Election Cycle — Without Warning Turkey, Despite Intelligence Clearance

U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack stated that the Israeli strikes on Syrian airfields had been conducted without the knowledge or consent of the Turkish government. Ambassador Barrack revealed that, via their respective intelligence services, the Syrian government and the Israeli Mossad had ascertained prior to the strikes that there were no Turkish military assets in the area.

Barrack laid out the diplomatic efforts the U.S. took to facilitate peaceful Israeli monitoring of Syrian activities — efforts that ultimately fell apart.

“Israel had told us for a preceding five days they were concerned about what was going on,” Barrack stated. “We went to our intelligence agencies. Syria talked to Mossad, gave them the information that there were no Turkish military, there were no Turkish convoys, there were no Turkish armaments, and that there was nothing adversarial or offensive going on. That was on Friday. They were supposed to meet again the next week.”

Despite that, Israel struck — without warning Ankara.

“Something went wrong,” Ambassador Barrack continued. “And they decided in the last minute to bomb the craters on the two runways. The problem was that the Turkish side was not notified.”

Fauci’s Lawyers Set Up Legal Defense Fund

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s lawyers have created a fund for people to donate for his legal expenses.

The fund “has been established to help pay the costs of the ongoing legal representation of Dr. Fauci,” according to its website.

All contributions are final and non-refundable, the lawyers said.

Fauci, 85, was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 until late 2022.

“Dr. Fauci is facing an unprecedented legal barrage for a retired civil servant, and he deserves a robust defense against these unfounded and frivolous actions,” David Schertler, a lawyer representing Fauci, told Reuters. “Dr. Fauci has not done anything wrong, and we are prepared to fight back against this shameful harassment of an honorable man who dedicated his career to saving lives.”

Fauci will not receive any payment or other form of distribution from the legal defense fund, his lawyers said. It is set up as a trust with an independent corporate trustee, according to Fauci’s legal team.

Neither Fauci nor his lawyers have control over how the money will be distributed or how the fund will be managed, his lawyers said. Invoices submitted by Fauci’s attorneys will be reviewed by an independent expert adviser, they said. Once all of Fauci’s litigation concludes, any remaining funds will be distributed to charity, his lawyers said.

In his last year of service, Fauci made $480,654, according to financial data obtained by Open the Books. The net worth of Fauci and his wife, who was the chief bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health until 2024, reached $15 million in 2023, according to a financial disclosure released by the transparency organization.

Fauci’s role as head of an agency that sent money to a laboratory in Wuhan, China, near where the first COVID-19 cases were detected, and his statements about the research the agency funded as well as the origins of COVID-19, have come under increasing scrutiny in the wake of senators obtaining hundreds of pages of his diary and emails he and others sent during the pandemic.

The diary showed Fauci was informed by many virology experts that COVID-19 bore a feature that may signal manipulation by scientists. Just months later, Fauci promoted a paper with which he had secretly assisted that said it was implausible COVID-19 came from a lab.

After Fauci in July refused to answer questions from senators about the diary and other documents, a Senate committee voted to hold him in contempt and sent a criminal referral to federal prosecutors. The Department of Justice has not commented on the referral, and Fauci has not been charged as of yet.

Fauci has a pardon covering conduct from Jan. 1, 2014, through Jan. 19, 2025. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), among others, has said that he should be prosecuted because he has allegedly made false statements after the 2025 date, in addition to the contempt he showed Congress.

Paul wrote on X: “For years we were told Fauci was the infallible expert who never made a mistake and never lied. Now his lawyers are admitting the legal exposure is so large they need a special fund to handle it. You can’t fundraise the truth away.”

Fauci also faces multiple probes by state officials, including Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who issued a subpoena to Fauci and said he would investigate whether the infectious disease expert “personally profited off the COVID ‘guidance’ he issued.”

The legal fund was established after Dr. David Morens, a senior adviser to Fauci for 16 years, admitted to defrauding the government by destroying records subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Morens faces up to five years in prison.

Fauci testified in a public hearing in 2024 that he was not aware of a conspiracy to evade Freedom of Information Act requests, after emails from Morens that were released by journalists and lawmakers detailed such a scheme.

“I can send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in one email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.”

In several missives released by Paul in 2025, Fauci instructed aides to delete emails after they read them.

OPERATION ISOLATION: Leaked FEMA Documents Reveal the ‘Lone Wolf’ Survival Protocol Was Engineered to Ensure Mass Casualties During Collapse—The $340,000 Death Trap They Don’t Want You to Understand

There exists, in the architecture of human delusion, a particular cognitive trap so seductive that even the intelligent, the disciplined, and the otherwise rational succumb to its geometry. It is the fantasy of the homo silens—the silent man who watches the conflagration from behind reinforced glass, untouched by the thermal bloom of societal dissolution. If you have spent the preceding decade fortifying this fantasy—converting liquid assets into ammunition, transforming relationships into operational liabilities, and mapping escape routes that lead only deeper into isolation—then what follows will function not merely as correction, but as an autopsy of your future self.

You have committed the fatal error. Not an error of execution—your beans are probably well-rotated, your ballistics chart is likely accurate—but an error of epistemological foundation. You have mistaken the symptom of collapse for its essence. You believe you are preparing for the absence of electricity, the failure of supply chains, the devaluation of currency. You are not. You are preparing for the reversion of human organization to its primordial grammar, and that grammar is syntactically collective. The solitary pronoun has no conjugation in the language of survival.

The timeline you carry in your imagination—a narrative arc from “event” to “aftermath” mediated by individual competence—contains an eighteen-month lacuna of unacknowledged dependencies. That interregnum, between the cessation of institutional function and the reconstitution of informal economies, is where the hermetic strategy reveals itself as anomic disintegration accelerated. It is where you will discover that your fortress functions not as a redoubt, but as a waiting room for extinction.

Chaos Agent: Anthony Fauci Represents A System That Needs To Be Cleansed

I think nothing enrages Americans more than a lack of accountability from government officials. Yes, it happens often, and the public hasn’t taken up torches and pitchforks (yet), but I would point out that these incidents are cumulative and they light a growing fire within the collective memory. Eventually, people are going to snap if they don’t see action taken to rectify past wrongs.

This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci faced a flurry of questions from the Senate Homeland Security Committee over his handling of the covid response as well as his involvement in the gain of function research which likely led to the creation of the viral variant that spread around the world and nearly triggered a permanent Orwellian police state.

Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times.  It’s not a sign of confidence in his own innocence.

He knows he’s untouchable legally, but I think what the man fears most is public judgment, and he’s not going to offer any confirmation that conservatives and the alternative media were right about him all along.  Unfortunately, even with substantial evidence, there is very little that any congressional committee or even the Trump Administration can do about him.

Fauci is well protected, and not just by the sweeping pardon “signed” by Joe Biden which covers the Doctor back to 2014. No, Fauci is also protected by the system – The bureaucracy and the globalist network of which he is a member.  Fauci is a chaos agent and he served his purpose well. They’re not going to let him face punishment.  If they did, then they might find it harder to procure the cooperation and loyalty of other bureaucrats in future schemes.

The ’34 Felony Convictions’ Mantra Just Disintegrated

I note over at Townhall the always-worthwhile Matt Vespa’s latest, wherein we read:

President Trump was interviewed by his former attorney, Michael Cohen, the star witness in the hush money case, which verdict is under appeal. Trump said Cohen was weaponized against him by the Justice Department. Cohen agrees, adding that he felt coerced by the Feds. The case stems from the president’s effort to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 during the 2016 election.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig effectively pronounced the case dead, leaving its former cheerleaders with nothing but a pile of sad confetti. There’s a reason federal prosecutors originally passed on this nuclear hot potato while Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg sprinted to pick it up: the Feds knew Michael Cohen’s credibility was a nuclear biohazard. As Honig pointed out, if Cohen is a liar, the entire foundation crumbles. If he was coerced, the trial was a farce. Take your pick — either way, the shell of a case is empty.

Yeah, about that… 

While I’ve never fully trusted a word out of Michael Cohen’s mouth in either direction, I lean toward believing his coercion claim here. It fits the pattern too cleanly not to. (Cohen is pictured above, by the way.)

Be honest, now. If Bragg was willing to weld together the legal Frankenstein’s monster he actually built to get this conviction in the first place, there’s no particular reason to think he’d suddenly develop scruples about how hard he leaned on his own star witness to get there.

Mind you, none of this is coming from some late-night outrage merchant on conservative talk radio, howling into a ring light. This is CNN’s own senior legal analyst, standing on CNN’s own soundstage, calmly dismantling the exact legal drama CNN itself spent two solid years treating as if it were holy scripture handed down from Sinai. Honig didn’t bury this in an obscure Substack nobody reads. He dropped it directly into Jake Tapper’s lap, on live television, and let the silence that followed do the talking. I’d genuinely have paid money to watch Tapper’s face in that exact moment.

Vespa adds:

Honig has long said this case was being overblown, the process a mess, and has heavily criticized how the law was twisted to achieve liberal America’s desired outcome.

Let’s be clear about the timeline here: 

Honig didn’t have some sudden road-to-Damascus epiphany this week. Indeed, he’s been saying this since before the ink on the original verdict had even finished drying. Back in May 2024, writing for New York Magazine, he was already warning that the prosecution’s legal theory was held together with little more than Scotch tape and wishful thinking, writing plainly that prosecutors “contorted the law in an unprecedented manner in their quest to snare their prey.” He doubled right back down the following day, torching the entire proceeding as an “unjustified mess.” That earned him a live on-air scrap with Democrat strategist James Carville, who called the criticism “downright awful” — to which Honig calmly pointed out that Carville himself would hardly be defending a judge who’d donated to a “Re-elect Trump, MAGA forever” fund with the same enthusiasm.

Science by press release: Moderna cashes in on mRNA cancer vaccine without publishing trial results

hen the Food and Drug Administration approved Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine, the first ever, two weeks ago, the pharmaceutical company that reaped billions from federal taxpayers with its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine didn’t wait for the agency to even publicly post the approval. Moderna rushed out the news at 10 p.m., with a 4% increase in its share price the next morning.

It was a promising market signal for a drugmaker whose revenue cratered following the collapse in demand for COVID vaccines, which also led Pfizer to cancel a trial this spring for its own updated mRNA COVID jab. 

What Moderna left out of the release Wednesday, and the media ignored: the mRNA flu jab’s disproportionately high rate of serious adverse events compared to a normal flu shot – the same problem with its Omicron-specific COVID vaccine three years ago – and the number of jabs required to prevent a single hospitalization, 5,000.

Yet the market and the media went crazy for Moderna this week when it announced “positive topline results” from a late-stage trial of its cancer vaccine with Merck, with a 177% spike in its share price on top of a 357% increase this year before the cancer vaccine news, despite no published trial data or FDA approval.

Drug Gangs Bribe, Blackmail and Intimidate Mayors, Cops and Other Public Officials: French Prime Minister Lecornu

France in danger of becoming a narco-state?

Sebastien Lecornu é the seventh French Prime Minister under the failed two-term presidency of Emmanuel Macron.

Lecornu is tasked with taking the outgoing government into this last stretch until next year’s Presidential elections, a vote that rightwing Marine Le Pen is fully expected to win.

But the Prime Minister has to at least appear to be doing something urgent and energetic, because the Republic is falling apart at the seams.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the absolute catastrophe that the unchecked mass migration has wrought upon France, from the imported rape culture to the stabbing epidemic – it’s all fraying the fabric of French society.

But what is perhaps not as well covered is the scourge of organized crime.

Yesterday (20), Lecornu warned his cabinet (and the nation) that drug gangs are bribing, blackmailing and intimidating mayors, police and other public officials.

Not that this is any news, but the announcement is to the effect that the PM has – finally – decided to focus his attention on the ongoing disaster.

The Telegraph reported:

“Sébastien Lecornu has told ministers to tighten controls on sensitive data and pursue disciplinary action whenever there is evidence of wrongdoing in the civil service. About 150 integrity breaches are detected each year, up 40 per cent in five years.

Mr. Lecornu warned: ‘Due to the growth of organized crime, government departments and state-run organizations are increasingly exposed to high risks of breaches of integrity, given the nature of their remit, their powers and their access to sensitive information or procedures’.”

7 years in, Lecornu fails to treat this criminality growth as an occurrence caused by the failings of the ruinous Macron government.

Accused Drug Trafficker Resumes Work As Sinaloa Governor Despite Being Wanted by USDOJ

An accused drug trafficker has resumed his post as governor of Sinaloa in Mexico, despite being a wanted fugitive of the U.S. Department of Justice. The move comes as tensions continue to rise between the U.S. Government and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has been actively defending the politician.

On Friday morning, Ruben Rocha Moya announced that he was returning to work after several weeks on leave following the U.S. Department of Justice’s announcement that he had been criminally indicted for his role in the Sinaloa Cartel. In a prepared statement shared on social media, Rocha Moya claimed that he had done what was needed of him and cooperated with Mexican authorities to prove his innocence.

As Breitbart Texas reported, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in April the indictment against Rocha Moya and nine of his closest political allies in the state. They are accused of drug conspiracy and weapons charges. At the time, rather than help with arrest and extradition, Sheinbaum publicly defended Rocha Moya, who is from the same political party — MORENA.

According to Sheinbaum, there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Rocha Moya, and the public indictment was politically motivated by the U.S. far right as a way to damage the MORENA party. Sheinbaum’s move sparked tension with the U.S. government, which has been pushing Mexico to fight drug cartels.

In an apparent move to avoid questions over Rocha Moya’s return to power, Sheinbaum announced on Friday that she was not going to her daily news conference because she was sick with flu-like symptoms.

Remember The Names

“. . . it’s subversion and nothing about it is accidental. it’s a well worn playbook to use the democratic institutions of a high trust state to destroy a civilization.”

– El Gato Malo on Substack

An eerie quiet masks the panic rising among the many players in the long-running train of crimes carried out under color-of-law against the people of this country that goes roughly under the clunky name of The Grand Conspiracy. What is Joe DiGenova up to, exactly, in the Southern District of Florida, with its several grand juries grinding away? Indictments will fly, for sure, but then who will flip on whom? It won’t take a whole lot of flippers to seal many fates in this skein of sedition and treason. The tension must be terrible for them.

The question has long been: how do you even begin to organize a set of coherent cases around this roaring avalanche of nefarious acts that got bigger with each successive attempt at cover-up?

Let’s see if we can block out a panoramic picture of potential prosecutions.

The gigantic mess must be separated into packets.

It’s probably best to begin with the FBI’s “Midyear Exam” op of 2016 – the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. You can bet that the server contained evidence of HRC’s two seminal crimes that kicked things off: 1) the transfer of US military technology to Russia’s Skolkovo high-tech hub and payments from seventeen companies involved coincidentally received by the Clinton Foundation when she was Sec’y of State; and 2) the “Uranium One” deal transferring US-owned nuke material to Russia (via Canada) that required a State Dept signoff by HRC — coincident with husband Bill receiving a half-million dollar “lecture fee” from a Russian bank. Players involved in Midyear Exam: Comey, Strzok, McCabe, Page, then-AG Loretta Lynch.

That potential embarrassment of this sketchy business was simply squashed by Lynch and Comey, while HRC took care to physically destroy the server and devices linked to it. But it also prompted the creation of the Russian collusion prank against then-candidate Donald Trump, (“Crossfire Hurricane”) to distract attention from all that. . . which turned into the huge RussiaGate operation that marshaled the FBI, the CIA, the Senate Intel Committee, and offices deep in the Pentagon to put over a gigantic hoax. It was green-lighted by President Barack Obama and organized by CIA-Director John Brennan, with FBI Director Comey and DNI James Clapper. Supporting players (potential defendants) include Susan Rice, Sally Yates, Veep Joe Biden (or “Joe Biden”), then White House aide Lisa Monaco, and CIA agent Eric Ciaramella (who wrote the actual Intel Community Assessment that jump-started the op). McCabe, Stzrok, Page, Ohr (and wife, Nellie), Rosenstein, and many FBI agents are potential defendants. Also Gina Haspel, CIA London station chief, who coordinated with the UK’s MI6 agent, Christopher Steele of the Steele Dossier. Throw in DOD-sponsored spook Stefan Halper and FBI liaison in London, Alan Kohler. After May, 2017, Christopher Wray was responsible for all FBI mischief and FISA Court irregularities (along with FISA Judge James Boasberg).

The Mueller Investigation was a subset of RussiaGate, but deserves its own case packet. It was an attempt to legitimize the RussiaGate hoax, and to keep the news media fed with innuendo. In effect it was a hoax unto itself, consumed $32-million, and ran nearly two years. It produced exactly nothing in evidence that President Trump had “colluded” with Russia about anything. Since Robert Mueller was mentally incapacitated, the investigation was run by subordinates, Aaron Zebley, Andrew Weissmann. Attorneys Jeanie Rhee, Elizabeth Prelogar, Brandon Van Grack and others. It was a fraud on the public and probably an obstruction of justice.

Impeachment No. 1 (the Ukraine phone call impeachment) was an entirely false operation cooked up by lawfare ninja Norm Eisen in collusion with Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff, with assistance from CIA agent (“whistleblower”) Eric Ciaramella and NSC member Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, with a boost from then-IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson. Eisen later admitted on a video that the aim of the impeachment was to “prebunk” Veep “Joe Biden’s” bribery and grift activities in Ukraine as the Democratic party prepared to run him for president in 2020. Ciaramella had accompanied Veep “Joe Biden” on several trips to Ukraine and knew what “JB” was up to there. Indict them all for sedition and treason.

The 2020 election op was pulled off in coordination with the Covid-1 scam that positioned the nation for massive mail-in ballot fraud, which was coordinated by lawfare ninja Marc Elias, then employed by the Democratic Party law firm Perkins Coie. Elias was assisted by Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook, now Meta), whose nonprofit, Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), distributed over $400-million to roughly 2500 election districts around the country, much of it used to pay select officials who would count and report mail-in ballots. The mail-in ballot fraud had been planned and gamed-out previously by the non-profit org Transition Integrity Project, run by Rosa Brooks and Nils Gilman.

In October 2020, fifty-one former intel officials signed a public letter denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop as having “the earmarks of Russian disinformation.” The letter was organized by Antony Blinken and former CIA-Director Michael Morrell. It was done in coordination with a social media campaign to suppress public knowledge of the laptop (and the Biden family record of international grift inside it) to influence the presidential election a month later. Potential fraud indictments.
