he is not a doctor ... this is simply too much.

Forbes's avatar

Just as he did on education with Common Core. He bought consultants, donated to other NGOs, contributed to politicians--he bullied everyone in sight. He's contributed mightily to the WHO, so of course they listen to him as he promises more when they do as he suggests.

The Wiltster's avatar

Back when NYState was still under lockdown, our then governor--I refer to him as #EmperorCuomo given his penchant for pronouncements devoid of deep thought--convened a special task force to help devise how to effectively bring NY out of lockdown and into a more "normal" status. It was a step-by-step process. That task force was, essentially, a bunch of rich dudes, of which Gates was one, and McKinsey, a consulting firm. Among the wonderfully conceived steps to normalcy they devised, was letting bars be open but not play the TV. (No, I have no idea either!) Pretty sure the genius step of requiring masks when you entered but allowing you to remove them when you sat down also came out of this same august body of thinkers. #SMMFH

Quakeress's avatar

Can somebody please compile a book containing the most stupid covid rules and the - doubtlessly hilariously stupid - reasoning behind them.

Open bar but no TV on - that's almost as groundbreaking as "no mask when seated - mask up on the way to your restaurant table".

JuQu's avatar

Witnessed today, 3/23/23. At surgicenter to await my other half’s cataract surgery, mandatory masks for those waiting. Fellow folks waiting glaring at me for drinking a coffee, naturally without a mask. I shouldn’t say naturally. One gent was lowering mask, taking sip, raising mask. When out and about in this area, I rarely see masks. Most likely these glarers don’t mask either. What “ obedient” idiots these folk are. They will never be able to learn from this.

Quakeress's avatar

It's not about the mask, I think, it's about being seen to be good and obedient. I'd never have believed how much people value obedience.

One of my favourite mad rules: at a moment when it was already clear that the vaccine did not prevent people from getting infected or infecting others, students were made to do one of those nose picking tests every morning, but only if they were unvaccinated. We had the undigified spectacle of a number of students doing those tests while the rest loooked on. This was apparently designed to be so unpleasant for the unvaccinated students to encourage them to get the vaccine; it served no other purpose whatsoever.

Decaf's avatar

It truly is about the mask for most. I think of ALL the people I know including the ones who said it was stupid while DOUBLE-masking themselves. The fear ran deep.

And then the cherry on top was their honor and self-sacrifice.

Anna T's avatar

At my federal Dept of Defense agency, *only* those who declined the shots had to weekly go through the Test Theater for months and months from late 2021 until early 2023. If you contracted the Wuhan Virus, you were exempt from testing for 90 days afterward.

Fear's avatar

I'm convinced now that most of the people we see are literally NPC's devoid of souls. Critical thought is only obtainable by a soul. Explains a lot ....

JuQu's avatar

Reminds me of my long ago days in Catholic elementary school. The nuns deputized the girls to swat unruly boys with rulers at will. At dinner one night, I was regaling the family with my newly granted “ powers”. Dad said something like do that again and you’ll learn what it feels like. He never used physicality with us. Methinks some of us never hear something like that.

Javier Lopez's avatar

The soul is there hidden away deep under layer upon layer of indoctrination and fear modules... you can catch a glimpse of it in their eyes (along with deep sorrowful shame) when a drop of truth manages to break through the defenses, floods into the neural circuitry and lights up their brain like a Christmas tree.

uselesseater's avatar

Same with medical centers in my area. Is it some liability issue or are they getting paid off?

Fear's avatar

Neither. What your witnessing at the local level currently is how stupid people in large groups behave. These idiot "professionals" have been caught with their proverbial pants down. They can either admit they were wrong or triple down in denial. Those who still truly believe are the dumbest of the dumb and IMO the most dangerous and untrustworthy.

Anna T's avatar

I wonder about liability or payoffs, uselesseater!

Mask Theater is alive and well at Johns Hopkins doctor offices. I saw one of my regular doctors on 11 April, and could not believe it. There was a huge posterboard sign in the lobby listing the types of masks that were not "acceptable." The doctor who I saw was wearing a small cloth mask that barely covered his nose and mouth. I wore my Fake Mask.

bio terry's avatar

I feel sad for those people, they make up about 15% of society, never to be the same again. Finito, that part of the brain is gone forever.

The Wiltster's avatar

A guy with whom I work, and for whom I have a ton of respect actually publicly defended the "protection" provided by PLEXIGLAS. Let me assure you, it was all I could do to not chime in with a hearty, "WTAF?"

Thank you dear Lord Plexiglas for protecting me from the cashier that just touched everything that I’m taking home....

There is a classic Twitter thread with photos of "great moments in The Science™ that is beyond funny. Honestly, cannot figure out how to post it here, but just search on Twitter.

The one where the flute player cut a little whole in her mask so she could play the flute?

One of the major WTF moments of the whole pandemic response.

The Wiltster's avatar

Ha! One of the bars I frequent was cooking hotdogs on the sidewalk, like at a camping trip. Kinda reminds me of the lunacy back when Reagan asserted that, "ketchup is a vegetable," although that was a different type of government stupidity. #LOL

John Cougar Misanthrope's avatar

"Kinda reminds me of the lunacy back when Reagan asserted that, 'ketchup is a vegetable,'"

I long for such innocent displays of lunacy from the ruling establishment.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Well in all fairness, if it were not for the 3 burritos for 99 cents at Taco Bell, I probably wouldn't have made it through college.

The sauce packets were considered part of my sustenance.

Those are bioweapons in their own right.

The Wiltster's avatar

You're concluding that at least then we were (reasonably) sure they weren't actively trying to kill us! Good point.

Danno's avatar

I knew the bar owner who did something similar in Buffalo (I think it was bags of chips actually labeled "Cuomo Chips"). The SLA pulled his liquor license the next day.

The TV thing is hilarious. Virus perhaps is attracted to running TV sets.

California Girl's avatar

And Common Core proved to be a disaster. Which I suppose proves that high-paid consultants make poor advisors. You pay them a lot to prove you can, it is no guarantee that they can.

Martha's avatar

IMHO, Common Core was a Trojan Horse, intended to further undermine public education. By "integrating" disciplines, it made it easier to incorporate DEI/CRT/Gender Ideology into any curriculum.

Crixcyon's avatar

More like common corrupt.

InfoHog's avatar

Common Core, that thing that I hear (now) homeschooling parents complain about that it worsens pupils' ability to think, esp. creatively, focusing on memorizing The Way and stuff?

Charlotte's avatar

I’m just going to leave this video explaining how they teach common core multiplication... enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYFolsI9GxU

InfoHog's avatar

Yeah something like that is what I have been told about - and the worst part being, pupils who figure out quicker, easier ways of getting to the result will get bad marks, because they don't robotically repeat the stupid steps layed out to them. Like here 35 x 12, why the split into 30 and 5, when 35 x 10 + 35 x 2 is easy peasy obvious? It's making them dumber. Follow the procedure, or else.

California Girl's avatar

Thank you. I majored in math, so your example is particularly interesting. The addition at the end is glossed over, is it really treated that simply? If so, why cannot the multiplication be more simple? My overall assessment is that it makes a mountain out of a molehill. What in the hell will you do with longer numbers, say 5 digits times 4 digits? And I am used to multiplying in my head, for example 312 x 25: I do this in 3 steps: 312 x 5 = 1560; 312 x 20 = 6240; 1560 + 6240 = 6980 = 7800. And, I admit, I checked myself with the handheld calculator I keep on my desk!

What about division? I still find that challenging, but I can do it accurately (without a calculator).

How do they treat different number systems? Probably ignore them. But computers are built on different number systems, so you are best learning them sometime, maybe the next year.

Thinking about this video approach, it seems to be based on the notion that the student is only capable of simple multiplication and addition. Do people memorize the multiplication tables any more?

California Girl's avatar

It's been awhile, so I cannot point you to anything specific. But search online for it. At the time it was considered a miserable idea. Since I had no school-age children at the time (or later), I never got too close to it.

Sam's avatar

Infohog, interesting that you say "worsens pupils' ability to think, esp. creatively" It's a major part of Jon Rappoport's thinking, that the cabal, let's call them, are extinguishing creativity. I tend to agree, even in my lifetime, rules and regulations have strangled creativity and innovation. The future = Drones with no desires or opinions.

California Girl's avatar

I supect AI is/will strangle creativity.

Javier Lopez's avatar

Unless AI can be programmed to be creative, of course. Not as wild as you might think. The holy grail of AGI is to teach computers how to learn and be curious. We're already observing the early stages of this. That said, I believe the end result will utilize the best of both worlds but the lines are already blurring, writers, artists, musicians, architects are using software algos to create their works with interesting results that wouldn't emerge from human minds alone.

Danno's avatar

The way I see it, AI can be programmed to SIMULATE creativity. Ultimately, we're the creators . . . and the only ones who can breathe life into its creations.

But . . . damn . . . sometimes it's so good at connecting the dots that I'd swear it IS creative.

Kathleen Taylor's avatar

Nonsense.

Creativity cannot be "programmed." NON-creative people may be fooled into believing such nonsense, however.

He has been promoting and pushing for MRNA technology for many years now. He finally achieved the mass testing and acceptance of MRNA pharmaceuticals by the fearful portion of the population....so...the majority. Now he can get code directly into us....program us....and not just with the food supply. He is a bored rich man with a desire for more and more controll.

I've had Apple computers since the Apple ][. When he 'came up' with DOS, we all started regarding him as evil incarnate.

Olle Durks's avatar

He's not a doctor, not a climate scientist, not the actual brains and skills behind Windows, not a philantropist. He is a fraud.

Danno's avatar

I look at him as an astute and ruthless businessman.

Sharon Campbell's avatar

I see Gates as a megalomaniac.

Sam's avatar

He's a salesman and a thief; it is said that he stole applemac ideas for windows.

Tardigrade's avatar

And before that, it was said he stole DOS from his roommate.

KHP's avatar

Lots of things are said; fewer are *accurate*.

The Microsoft acquisition of DOS had questionable aspects, but the person on the other side (Gary Kildall) was not a roommate.

BugGoo's avatar

He is profiting immensely ( big vax investment)and exacting his vengeance on the world for his Televised Senate hearings humiliation .Remember he was so pathetic looking being shamed and mocked when called out as Microsoft market manipulator ... remember his autistic like rocking back and forth in his seat at the senate hearings ?...,Well he is really showing us who’s the boss now !This guy Gates is a vengeful,perverted ,freaky guy immersed up to his neck in top level nation destroying fraud , graft,cheating , lying and genocide. He is a filthy rich murderous sociopath wrapped up as philanthropic vaccine fairy.. Let’s get these rich wackjobs hands off the levers of power. Restrict their fake foundations and NGO’s and expose their money leveraging influence on our already corrupted institutions.And erase all these unelected world governance institutions while we are at it.

He's still angry about being the last one picked for teams in gym class.

In order to understand Gates, you need to read RFK Jr's book. Yes, it is a slog, but you will be better off for having read it.

Especially the bit about ivermectin.

Maybe he's now in his custom designed Hell. Once a tycoon, now alone, doomed to go to conference after conference.. Infinite TED talks... Accumulating the disgust of world that once esteemed him.

Kathleen Taylor's avatar

Hell for us, maybe, but a delight for Gates. He needs a captive audience. Who would listen to him otherwise?

Kathleen Taylor's avatar

By any means necessary. HE is the germ to be destroyed before it infects the world.

SPECTRE or SPECTRA ...

https://drlatusdextro.substack.com/p/coincidence-or-conspiracy-a03

SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion) is a vast international organisation with its own elaborate facilities. The top-level members of 21 individuals, 18 of whom handled day-to-day affairs and were drawn in groups of three from six of the world's greatest criminal organisations.

From Clover Biopharmaceuticals, brought to you by CEPI...(WEF, BMGF, Wellcome, et al)

Our COVID-19 vaccine: SCB-2019 (CpG 1018/Alum)

'In September 2021, we announced that SPECTRA, a global pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SCB-2019 (CpG 1018/Alum) met the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints'.

just like Five Times August sings, we won't be safe until gates is behind bars. And even then ! At least he looks way older than he is, so hopefully... you may not wish, but for some people I do!

I read his organization introduced polio in North Africa again recently. Was it Chad?

Celayne Jones's avatar

He’s probably jabbed up to his beady eyeballs; that might catch up with him sooner than later. 🤞🏻

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

not sure about that. I heard him say once, that he would let everyone else have the jabs before he would take them. He knows what is in it! I saw his daughter take them but were it the real ones? or fake ones like most other high-ups have taken?

Celayne Jones's avatar

There’s no way of knowing. You can’t believe a word out of their mouths.

Gates should worry about his own health and fitness. I would never follow the advice of someone who looks that poorly.

Yes. Why is there a fold in his neck? I would say head transplant but it doesn’t look good on either end of the fold.

Kathleen Taylor's avatar

I had to laugh at this comment!

Elizabeth Holter's avatar

The intelligent way to corral Gates and other philanthropists going down this road is to call into question the field of virology - beginning with a look under the hood at the methodologies which have captured the narrative so easily. We can no longer skip reading materials and methods sections of the mind-numbing “scientific papers” which provide the would-be saviors with their justifications. And because we who are outside virology have paid virological methodology little attention, the field has been able to move onto computerized, genetic-based virology methods which elevate it above the messy and difficult laboratory science where it began. Where there are many reasonable questions about how viruses actually work in the real world, not the world of laboratory creation of transmissible particles from which we infer real world behavior and gin up fear. And we also need to learn the limitations of the genetic methodologies which have launched us farther into Gates’s world. He clearly has no doubts.

I am a neurologist. I never had any interest in virology. I began searching for information once I realized, in spring 2020, that the PCR test was the tool driving the fear. I was still living in the imaginary world in which I envisioned viruses being “grown” from clinical samples in cell cultures and being separated and retrieved from those cultures. Koch’s hypothesis and all. Nope. Not at all like that anymore. And in a world where “knowledge” is used to manipulate, we have to make the effort to understand it, to ask informed questions, and to bring any doubts to the public. The capacity for damage by people using dubious “scientific” conclusions is too great. And if you think the knowledge in medicine now is correct because it is…well, now and not back then when we didn’t know anything, go look at medical history. Start anywhere, but don’t skip the eugenicists and frontal lobotomies. And then realize that you are living through one of the greatest medical catastrophes in history. Right now.

Tardigrade's avatar

Can I upvote this, like, 10 times?

Teaching everyone, school kids as well as adults, how to critically look at scientific studies, might be a good thing to do. You don't have to be brilliant or even a college graduate (I'm not) to be able to spot sketchy methods and sneaky designs. At least in clinical trials, and in addition, the raw data should be a required bit of transparency.

The Wiltster's avatar

Indeed! We are seeing, not only how tenuous the "proof" for any conclusion from The Science™ can be, but we are also seeing just how much people we respect, some of whom are actually technically competent in many ways, accept the pronouncements of bureaucrats with only the proxy of legitimate scientific knowledge.

Kathleen Taylor's avatar

Gates is too lazy to exercise and too self-indulgent to watch his diet.

Tardigrade's avatar

Maybe that's why he's so into vaccines and other pharmaceuticals, because he's in such crappy shape himself.

Here's a novel idea. Focus on underlying health as a way of mitigating the effects of a viral outbreak. I I know that's a fairly glib suggestion, with a multitude of obstacles in the way particularly in countries where even the basic requirements for human survival are impeded by conflict and famine. But surely it's a better starting point than what this virus of a man is trying to implement.

California Girl's avatar

Good idea. Healthy people rarely get sick. I was going to write "do not get sick" but thought that if a person was poisoned enough, their health might not be enough to keep them healthy. I am still angry that the govt. made no effort to look for "poison". Which, as I see it now, is evidence they they knew the pandemic story was pure BS.

Markker's avatar

EMF waves and radiation sickness also gives same non specific covid symptoms, bad frequencies can starve body of oxygen. Lots pollution in Wuhan and that part of Italy too. Look where 5g was rolled out - that cruiseship, Wuhan, Italy and Iran. People always look for a single cause, especially pharma and it's always a new virus and which no lab or org anywhere in the world has a purified sample of any viruses, including SARSCov2.

However, your novel idea will never happen because nobody's going to make a boatload of money on it.

Meet the new bureaucracy. Just as vapid and worthless, albeit powerful, as the old bureaucracy. Gates is a tool, but he's rich, so he gets indulged, regardless of the flaming stupidity of what he says.

(Might as well repeat a story I have told before, although hopefully not on this substack. At least 25 years ago, I was browsing the "cut-out" bin at a local CD store, looking for bargain music. There was a stack of CDs (or maybe DVDs?) with Gates' picture on them. They were entitled something like, "The Shape of the Future" or something similarly ostensibly impressive. They were priced around $0.25 if I recall correctly, down from a list price of maybe $50.00, again, as best I remember. I chuckled to myself, "I guess nobody gives a shit about this asshole's views on the future!")
