Bill Gates

Bill Gates is best known for his role as founder of Microsoft. He and his ex-wife established the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Both the Gates Foundation and Microsoft have made large donations to the Brookings Institution between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009.

Solar Geoengineering

On February 17, 2021, the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, reported that "...Bill Gates is financially backing the development of technology that could dim the sun."

"The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, on climate change mitigation, adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016. There are many attempts and experiments trying to control global warming. Solar geoengineering refers to proposed approaches to cool the Earth by reflecting solar radiation back to space. Some of these experimental ideas range from sending a giant mirror into space to spraying aerosols in the stratosphere. The two main approaches being researched are stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB). Microsoft’s billionaire founder Bill Gates is financially backing the development of technology that could dim the sun. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) was launched by Harvard University scientists. The goal of the experiment is to examine this solution by spraying calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere. Stratospheric aerosol injections could cool the planet in a similar way to a large volcanic eruption. For example, when a volcano erupts, it sends an ash cloud high into the atmosphere. Released sulphur dioxide in the plume combines with water to form sulfuric acid aerosols. These aerosols are able to reflect incoming sunlight. According to the USGS, “Yes, volcanoes can affect weather and the Earth’s climate. Following the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, cooler than normal temperatures were recorded worldwide and brilliant sunsets and sunrises were attributed to this eruption that sent fine ash and gases high into the stratosphere, forming a large volcanic cloud that drifted around the world.”

In a December 15, 2020, Harvard University article by SEAS press team, “Injecting light-reflecting aerosols into the stratosphere — known as solar geoengineering —could be used in conjunction with emissions reduction to lower the risks of a climate change and cool the planet. But deliberately introducing particles into the atmosphere may also carry significant risks, and those dangers may increase depending on what aerosols are used. Sulfate aerosols, for example, could contribute to ozone damage and stratospheric heating.

In 2016, researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) used computer models to find that calcium carbonate (CaCO3) could not only reflect light and cool the planet but also counter ozone loss by neutralizing emissions-borne acids in the stratosphere — like an antiacid for the atmosphere.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a report that suggests the SCoPEx procedure could possibly lower global temperatures by a full 1.5° C. However, global cooling could bring serious risks, such as crop failures and cold weather freezes. The United States, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia blocked a 2019 United Nations assessment of global geoengineering plans.

SCoPEx also received in-kind support from NOAA, which provided the POPS instrument that will provide size-resolved measurements of particle concentration.

Catastrophic Contagion

Catastrophic Contagion was a "a pandemic tabletop exercise" seemingly coordinated to justify imposing lockdowns coordinated globally on citizens in the event of a future pandemic. The exercise took place in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic conducted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with WHO and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on October 23, 2022.

Bill Gates was listed as a participant.

Support for Increased Estate Tax

On Dec. 16, 2009, Gates expressed his support for an increase in estate tax,

"No one accumulates a fortune without the help of our society's investments. How much wealth would exist without America's unique property rights protections, public infrastructure, and academic institutions? We should celebrate the estate tax as an 'economic opportunity recycling' programme. It's our turn to pass on the gift."

The article in the Wealth Bulletin explains the recent law change on estate tax,

"The U.S. House of Representatives recently cast a vote in favor of the estate tax proposal, which makes 2009 estate tax law permanent, with a $3.5m exemption and a 45% tax rate. If no vote is taken this year, the estate tax will disappear on January 1, 2010, and then revert to a $1 million exemption per spouse with a 55% rate in 2011."

Population Control

Excerpt from January 6, 2021 article by Renee Nal:

Despite his deep involvement in “family planning” for poor countries across the globe, Bill Gates is not an elected official, nor does he have a background in healthcare. With his demonstrated obsession with population control, Gates only has influence because he is a left-wing activist with money. The eccentric billionaire and his bride are following in the eugenicist footsteps of the radical socialist Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, a fellow Malthusian, who also used “birth control” to advance her desire to rid the planet of those she deemed unfit.

Socialist Eugenicists and The Fabian Society

The neo-Malthusians of Sanger’s day included such socialist luminaries as Havelock Ellis, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Stella Browne, C.J. Gamble (Pathfinder International founder), Knight Dunlap (served as President of the American Psychological Association & founder of the Journal of Psychology) and Marie Stopes, who Margaret Sanger met at a Fabian Society meeting in 1913.

The Fabian Society “is a British socialist organisation whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist effort in democracies, rather than by revolutionary overthrow.” Their Coat of Arms is literally a wolf in sheep’s clothing. While Margaret Sanger was a Fabian along with many of her fellow eugenicists (George Bernard Shaw designed a stained-glass image of early Fabians), Bill Gates, Sr. was praised by the Fabian Society for supporting “Fabian proposals”.

[...]

In 1914, Margaret Sanger published the Woman Rebel, which instructed girls to “advocate the prevention of conception…” In Vol. 1, No. 6, August 1914 Margaret Sanger declared: “Imprisoned Comrades of the working class have been saved again and again from the clutches of the monster Capitalism…” Today, Margaret Sanger would likely be a member of the Squad, bashing “capitalism” while calling for unrestricted, taxpayer funded abortion.

Population control activists, often socialists, love euphemisms. From the beginning, “birth control” or “Family Planning” was really about population control. Eugenics was also about population control. As observed at the Library of Economics and Liberty: “The Malthusianism told them that millions had to die; the eugenics told them who the victims ought to be.” Consider that Sanger addressed the “fifth International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference” in London in 1922.

In 2009, Bill Gates explained in his Gates Foundation annual letter that he and his wife got involved in “reproductive health” in developing countries in the mid 1990’s specifically to reduce the population:

“When Melinda and I first started our giving, in the late 1990s, our focus was on reproductive health rather than childhood deaths. We felt that giving mothers the tools to limit their family size to what they wanted would have a catalytic effect by reducing population growth and making it easier to feed, educate, and provide jobs for the children who were born.” [emphasis added]

“Contrary to the Malthusian view that population will grow to the limit of however many kids can be fed,” Gates states, “in fact parents choose to have enough kids to give them a high chance that several will survive to support them as they grow old. As the number of kids who survive to adulthood goes up, parents can achieve this goal without having as many children.”

Gates reiterated his desire to limit “population growth” by focusing on “reproductive health” during an interview in 2010:

“…It was absolutely key for me – when our Foundation first started up, it was focused on reproductive health. That was the main thing we did because I thought – you know – that population growth in poor countries is the biggest problem they face…”

Population control was the launchpad for eugenics...Thomas Malthus, of whom Gates and Sanger are disciples, believed that overpopulation will eventually stretch the world’s resources beyond capacity. Bill Gates has regularly evoked Malthus in his speeches and writings.

Influence of Bill Gates, Sr.

Bill Gates, Sr., Gates’ father, was pivotal in shaping his son’s world view. The elder Gates, who died earlier this year of Alzheimer’s, has been described as “instrumental in not only starting the foundation but growing it…” In yet another Margaret Sanger parallel, Bill Gates described his father once glowingly as former "head of Planned Parenthood".

Bill Gates, Sr. inspired his son to delve into population control, which is what prompted Gates and his wife Melinda to use the red herring of “reproductive health” to further their goal of reducing the “surplus population.”
