Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates,
projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via
his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases,
solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent
conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his
philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics.
Gates made his remarks to the invitation-only Long Beach, California
TED2010 Conference, in a speech titled, “Innovating to Zero!.” Along
with the scientifically absurd proposition of reducing manmade CO2
emissions worldwide to zero by 2050, approximately four and a half
minutes into the talk, Gates declares, "First we got population. The
world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9
billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care,
reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15
percent."1 (author’s emphasis).
In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states
clearly that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population
growth. When Bill Gates speaks about vaccines, he speaks with
authority. In January 2010 at the elite Davos World Economic Forum,
Gates announced his foundation would give $10 billion (circa €7.5
billion) over the next decade to develop and deliver new vaccines to
children in the developing world. 2
The primary focus of his multi-billion dollar Gates Foundation is
vaccinations, especially in Africa and other underdeveloped countries.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding member of the GAVI
Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccinations and Immunization) in
partnership with the World Bank, WHO and the vaccine industry. The
goal of GAVI is to vaccinate every newborn child in the developing
world.
Now that sounds like noble philanthropic work. The problem is that the
vaccine industry has been repeatedly caught dumping dangerous—meaning
unsafe because untested or proven harmful—vaccines onto unwitting
Third World populations when they cannot get rid of the vaccines in
the West. 3 Some organizations have suggested that the true aim of the
vaccinations is to make people sicker and even more susceptible to
disease and premature death.4
Dumping toxins on the Third World
In the aftermath of the most recent unnecessary Pandemic declaration
of a global H1N1 swine flu emergency, industrial countries were left
sitting on hundreds of millions of doses of untested vaccines. They
decided to get rid of the embarrassing leftover drugs by handing them
over to the WHO which in turn plans to dump them for free on select
poor countries. France has given 91 million of the 94 million doses
the Sarkozy government bought from the pharma giants; Britain gave 55
million of its 60 million doses. The story for Germany and Norway is
similar.5
As Dr. Thomas Jefferson, an epidemiologist with the Cochrane Research
Center in Rome noted, “Why do they give the vaccines to the developing
countries at all? The pandemic has been called off in most parts of
the world. The greatest threat in poor countries right now is heart
and circulatory diseases while the virus figures at the bottom of the
list. What is the medical reason for donating 180 million doses?” 6 As
well, flu is a minor problem in countries with abundant sunshine, and
it turned out that the feared H1N1 Pandemic “new great plague” was the
mildest flu on record.
The pharmaceutical vaccine makers do not speak about the enormous
health damage from infant vaccination including autism and numerous
neuro-muscular deformities that have been traced back to the toxic
adjuvants and preservatives used in most vaccines. Many vaccines,
especially multi-dose vaccines that are made more cheaply for sale to
the Third World, contain something called Thimerosal (Thiomersol in
the EU), a compound (sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate), containing
some 50%% mercury, used as a preservative.
In July 1999 the US’ National Vaccine Information Center declared in a
press release that, "The cumulative effects of ingesting mercury can
cause brain damage." The same month, the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) alerted the public about the possible health effects associated
with thimerosal-containing vaccines. They strongly recommended that
thimerosal be removed from vaccines as soon as possible. Under the
directive of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, the Food and Drug
Administration also determined that infants who received several
thimerosal-containing vaccines may be receiving mercury exposure over
and above the recommended federal guidelines.7
A new form of eugenics?
Gates’ interest in inducing population reduction among black and other
minority populations is not new unfortunately. As I document in my
book, Seeds of Destruction,8 since the 1920’s the Rockefeller
Foundation had funded the eugenics research in Germany through the
Kaiser-Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin and Munich, including well into
the Third Reich. They praised the forced sterilization of people by
Hirtler Germany, and the Nazi ideas on race “purity.” It was John D.
Rockefeller III, a life-long advocate of eugenics, who used his “tax
free” foundation money to initiate the population reduction neo-
Malthusian movement through his private Population Council in New York
beginning in the 1950’s.
The idea of using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third
World is also not new. Bill Gates’ good friend, David Rockefeller and
his Rockefeller Foundation were involved as early as 1972 in a major
project together with WHO and others to perfect another “new vaccine.”
The results of the WHO-Rockefeller project were put into mass
application on human guinea pigs in the early 1990's. The WHO oversaw
massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in Nicaragua, Mexico and
the Philippines. Comite Pro Vida de Mexico, a Roman Catholic lay
organization, became suspicious of the motives behind the WHO program
and decided to test numerous vials of the vaccine and found them to
contain human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, or hCG. That was a curious
component for a vaccine designed to protect people against lock-jaw
arising from infection with rusty nail wounds or other contact with
certain bacteria found in soil. The tetanus disease was indeed, also
rather rare. It was also curious because hCG was a natural hormone
needed to maintain a pregnancy. However, when combined with a tetanus
toxoid carrier, it stimulated formation of antibodies against hCG,
rendering a woman incapable of maintaining a pregnancy, a form of
concealed abortion. Similar reports of vaccines laced with hCG
hormones came from the Philippines and Nicaragua.9
Gates’ ‘Gene Revolution in Africa’
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with David Rockefeller’s
Rockefeller Foundation, the creators of the GMO biotechnology, are
also financing a project called The Alliance for a Green Revolution in
Africa (AGRA) headed by former UN chief, Kofi Annan. Accepting the
role as AGRA head in June 2007 Annan expressed his “gratitude to the
Rockefeller Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and all
others who support our African campaign.” The AGRA board is dominated
by people from both the Gates’ and Rockefeller foundations. 10
Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Syngenta and other major GMO agribusiness
giants are reported at the heart of AGRA, using it as a back-door to
spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive
label, ‘bio-technology,’ a euphemism for genetically engineered
patented seeds. The person from the Gates Foundation responsible for
its work with AGRA is Dr. Robert Horsch, a 25-year Monsanto GMO
veteran who was on the team that developed Monsanto’s RoundUp Ready
GMO technologies. His job is reportedly to use Gates’ money to
introduce GMO into Africa.11
To date South Africa is the only African country permitting legal
planting of GMO crops. In 2003 Burkina Faso authorized GMO trials. In
2005 Kofi Annan’s Ghana drafted bio-safety legislation and key
officials expressed their intentions to pursue research into GMO
crops. AGRA is being used to create networks of “agro-dealers” across
Africa, at first with no mention of GMO seeds or herbicides, in order
to have the infrastructure in place to massively introduce GMO.12
GMO, glyphosate and population reduction
GMO crops have never been proven safe for human or animal consumption.
Moreover, they are inherently genetically ‘unstable’ as they are an
unnatural product of introducing a foreign bacteria such as Bacillus
Thuringiensis (Bt) or other material into the DNA of a given seed to
change its traits. Perhaps equally dangerous are the ‘paired’ chemical
herbicides sold as a mandatory part of a GMO contract, such as
Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used such herbicide in the world.
It contains highly toxic glyphosate compounds that have been
independently tested and proven to exist in toxic concentrations in
GMO applications far above that safe for humans or animals. Tests show
that tiny amounts of glyphosate compounds would do damage to a human
umbilical, embryonic and placental cells in a pregnant woman drinking
the ground water near a GMO field.13
One long-standing project of the US Government has been to perfect a
genetically-modified variety of corn, the diet staple in Mexico and
many other Latin American countries. The corn has been field tested in
tests financed by the US Department of Agriculture along with a small
California bio-tech company named Epicyte. Announcing his success at a
2001 press conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing
to his GMO corn plants, announced, “We have a hothouse filled with
corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies.” 14
Hein explained that they had taken antibodies from women with a rare
condition known as immune infertility, isolated the genes that
regulated the manufacture of those infertility antibodies, and, using
genetic engineering techniques, had inserted the genes into ordinary
corn seeds used to produce corn plants. In this manner, in reality
they produced a concealed contraceptive embedded in corn meant for
human consumption. “Essentially, the antibodies are attracted to
surface receptors on the sperm,” said Hein. “They latch on and make
each sperm so heavy it cannot move forward. It just shakes about as if
it was doing the lambada.” 15 Hein claimed it was a possible solution
to world “over-population.” The moral and ethical issues of feeding it
to humans in Third World poor countries without their knowing it
countries he left out of his remarks.
Spermicides hidden in GMO corn provided to starving Third World
populations through the generosity of the Gates’ foundation,
Rockefeller Foundation and Kofi Annan’s AGRA or vaccines that contain
undisclosed sterilization agents are just two documented cases of
using vaccines or GMO seeds to “reduce population.”
And the ‘Good Club’
Gates’ TED2010 speech on zero emissions and population reduction is
consistent with a report that appeared in New York City’s ethnic
media,
Irish.Central.com in May 2009. According to the report, a
secret meeting took place on May 5, 2009 at the home of Sir Paul
Nurse, President of Rockefeller University, among some of the
wealthiest people in America. Investment guru Warren Buffett who in
2006 decided to pool his $30 billion Buffett Foundation into the Gates
foundation to create the world’s largest private foundation with some
$60 billions of tax-free dollars was present. Banker David Rockefeller
was the host.
The exclusive letter of invitation was signed by Gates, Rockefeller
and Buffett. They decided to call themselves the “Good Club.” Also
present was media czar Ted Turner, billionaire founder of CNN who
stated in a 1996 interview for the Audubon nature magazine, where he
said that a 95%% reduction of world population to between 225-300
million would be “ideal.” In a 2008 interview at Philadelphia’s Temple
University, Turner fine-tuned the number to 2 billion, a cut of more
than 70%% from today’s population. Even less elegantly than Gates,
Turner stated, “we have too many people. That’s why we have global
warming. We need less people using less stuff (sic).”16
Others attending this first meeting of the Good Club reportedly were:
Eli Broad real estate billionaire, New York’s billionaire Mayor
Michael Bloomberg and Wall Street billionaire and Council on Foreign
Relations former head, Peter G. Peterson.
In addition, Julian H. Robertson, Jr., hedge-fund billionaire who
worked with Soros attacking the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia,
South Korea and the Asian Tigen economies, precipitating the 1997-98
Asia Crisis. Also present at the first session of the Good Club was
Patty Stonesifer, former chief executive of the Gates foundation, and
John Morgridge of Cisco Systems. The group represented a combined
fortune of more than $125 billion. 17
According to reports apparently leaked by one of the attendees, the
meeting was held in response to the global economic downturn and the
numerous health and environmental crises that are plaguing the globe.
But the central theme and purpose of the secret Good Club meeting of
the plutocrats was the priority concern posed by Bill Gates, namely,
how to advance more effectively their agenda of birth control and
global population reduction. In the talks a consensus reportedly
emerged that they would “back a strategy in which population growth
would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and
industrial threat.” 18
Global Eugenics agenda
Gates and Buffett are major funders of global population reduction
programs, as is Turner, whose UN Foundation was created to funnel $1
billion of his tax-free stock option earnings in AOL-Time-Warner into
various birth reduction programs in the developing world.19 The
programs in Africa and elsewhere are masked as philanthropy and
providing health services for poor Africans. In reality they involve
involuntary population sterilization via vaccination and other
medicines that make women of child-bearing age infertile. The Gates
Foundation, where Buffett deposited the bulk of his wealth two years
ago, is also backing introduction of GMO seeds into Africa under the
cloak of the Kofi Annan-led ‘Second Green Revolution’ in Africa. The
introduction of GMO patented seeds in Africa to date has met with
enormous indigenous resistance.
Health experts point out that were the intent of Gates really to
improve the health and well-being of black Africans, the same hundreds
of millions of dollars the Gates Foundation has invested in untested
and unsafe vaccines could be used in providing minimal sanitary water
and sewage systems. Vaccinating a child who then goes to drink feces-
polluted river water is hardly healthy in any respect. But of course
cleaning up the water and sewage systems of Africa would revolutionize
the health conditions of the Continent.
Gates’ TED2010 comments about having new vaccines to reduce global
population were obviously no off-the-cuff remark. For those who doubt,
the presentation Gates made at the TED2009 annual gathering said
almost exactly the same thing about reducing population to cut global
warming. For the mighty and powerful of the Good Club, human beings
seem to be a form of pollution equal to CO2.
