"The biggest foundation is probably the Gates Foundation . "
Burn him at the stake you reckon Hutchy?

"“There are many parallels between COVID conspiracies around Bill Gates and theories about witches in the past. Both emerge in contexts of uncertainty as people confront inexplicable misfortune. Both attribute that misfortune to powerful, malicious figures who work through invisible means. Both demonise those powerful figures, which entails making them morally heinous (e.g., child kidnapping or cannibalism), making them existentially threatening, and enhancing perceptions of their power and influence,” said Manvir Singh, research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse, France..........For example, similar to how people used to believe witches would misuse items like brooms to fly and wands to cast spells, some modern Americans think Gates uses vaccines to implant microchips and activates the chips with 5G."

In September of 2019, Bill Gates initially invested $55 million on a pre-IPO equity investment into BioNtech. Gates’s investment in BioNtech may probably higher. Today, Gates’ investment is now worth over $550 million dollars, based on the company’s market cap at the time of writing.

Blindboy the clear path has to at least start with each article being taken on its merits, not simply dismissed because it’s in a “low quality” journal.

The Gates Foundation is a non-profit organisation so what exactly is your point gsco? If it is that the Gates Foundation is involved in some vast conspiracy you will have to do better than highlighting a sound investment from which we all stood to benefit. Then there is the work they have done on malaria. Is reducing malaria part of some vast scheme to rule the world and enslave us all? Excuse me if I have misrepresented your position. If so you might like to explain what it actually is.

Blind one . "The Gates Foundation is a non-profit organisation so what exactly is your point gsco?"

You really are unable to understand how the REAL world works .

Firstly , it is a non-for - profit organisation due to tax benefits . Gates donations into the Foundation are a tax deduction . He then pays NO tax from capital gains when he sells Microsoft shares or any income he earns . The Foundation then pays fuck all tax ( capital gains and income ) due to its status .

Secondly , it is the power that this huge Foundation yields that is the most important point. It doesn't matter if it is not for profit or it pays full tax at 21% . It is how much MONEY it has to incentivise others to do its bidding .

You are so thick that you can't see gsco's point !!!!!

It might surprise you but half a billion US dollars capital gain buys a LOT of clout in the real world . His multi billions in the Foundation buys a hell of a lot more .

Please wake up !

Just stating facts BB.

But to be honest I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Before you came back on Swellnet I was a staunch opponent of any hint whatsoever of anything at all that even vaguely resembled a conspiracy theory. I even got vaccinated the very first day my age group could.

But now I’m just totally disillusioned about it all and am not so sure. (Not because of you that is, just timeline-wise.)

On the bright side hopefully covid is beginning to be in the rear view mirror now.

Same thing happened with the ebola outbreak a few years ago. According to the Financial Times, several months prior to the outbreak Gates bought up shares in the pharmaceutical company that was producing the ebola vaccine. Made him a handsome profit. Another interesting thing about ebola is that the US has a patent on it.

And there were 2 Corona Virus pandemics in the last 20 years: MERS and SARS, so planning for a novel Corona Virus Pandemic would be completely sensible, wouldn't it?

Isn't that why Taiwan was so successful? Because they had done so much preparation and war gaming after SARS?

I guess you would have to look at the sum total of all his investments in vaccine/biotech to see how much of an unusual event it is.

If he has made hundreds of investments then you would expect one at least to be a windfall payout.

Especially if he has been doing it for decades.

with a net worth of 138 billion, 500 million is literally chump change.

This was only one of his investments in the vaccine producers . I have posted before that the Foundation even funded a vaccine factory ( maybe a nice thing to do ) . He has made multi billions from Covid and getting in VERY early .

Too early imo but he is much smarter and connected than I am so I doubt we will ever know .

Wealthy bloke puts a huge amount of his fortune into a charitable foundation which has funded research on numerous diseases most notably malaria and what do we get? Nonsensical conspiracy theories about chip implants and vast conspiracies to enslave us all. Then there are the enablers, those who post snide insinuations that amount to nothing more than Gates is rich so he must be evil. Does Gates totally lack self-interest? Certainly not. Was he involved with Epstein's sleaze? Probably. Beyond that what have you got on him? Three fifths of the usual.

It’s not about the money for Gates and his crew. The agenda is power, control and ultimately enslavement of humanity. Gates is the nerdy persona front man for the mob behind him.

So on that basis very hard to argue that this pandemic is not a major stepping stone in achieving it. Conspiracy? Co-incidence?

‘Just a 3 week lockdown to flatten the curve’ ??Turned into ‘can’t keep your job until you get 2 shots and the boosters’ real quick.. to ‘keep you safe’. Biggest con job in history and how well they’ve done it.

BB- you are right that lots of billionaires set up Foundations to set up structures to avoid paying tax .

I thought you thought that was despicable .

Chip human implants are already available . I saw on SN a Scandinavian country had already started using them .

Gates never invested in a malaria vaccine .

He is TOTALLY concerned with his own self interest . Look at his record at Microsoft .

He is definitely a sleaze as shown by his involvement with Epstein and his treatment of female employees .

Most of these FACTS are why you hated Trump . A self interested , repeated women aduser ,sleazy tax dodger with too much money .

Why do you say "Three fifths of the usual " ?

Unbelievable that you view him as a nice wealthy bloke and say we should give him some slack .

Not the first time you have been unbelievable so I am not at all surprised .

A ‘what’s ever is next’ to keep your job

The similar theme is creating fear about the future because that’s where fear lives. Regret is in the past and what’s in the present? The present. Look around u. Is there ppl dropping dead, anyone you know with COVID? Or is it all fine? Until of course as the story goes the borders will open and all hell will break loose.

Yeah it’s a good point BB and there’s probably some aspect of this manifesting because enough ppl are thinking/fearing that scenario but there is a genuine reason they are because the plan is laid bare for all to see. Is there equally a genuine reason to fear COVID? That’s the thing. When you are all mighty and powerful with the purse strings you can manipulate / control the statistics and narrative whatever way you want. So it’s not about Gates making money for personal benefit it’s so they can distribute it in the channels they want to the ppl that give them what they want through fear and statistics..

And the ultimate I guess is to not fear the future for either scenario either gates or COVID. Come back to the moment and find peace there. It’s hard and the last thing the system wants.

I’ve heard getting barrelled is a great way to get back to the moment. More of that.

The six month booster thing is temporary until they develop better, longer lasting vaccines/treatments or until it burns itself slowly out in the years to come. I don't expect it to be ongoing for years and years.
