Bill Gates
A petition to investigate Bill Gates for "crimes against humanity" and "medical malpractice" has gained a staggering 289,000 signatures from concerned citizens, almost tripling the number required to get a response from the White House. Because the petition is only ten days old, it may hit half a million signatures.

The "We the People" petition < โ€” - which can be signed by going to that site โ€” asks the federal government to call on Congress to investigate the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, stating that "Congress and all other governing bodies are derelict in duty until a thorough and public inquiry is complete."

The petition created on April 10 reached the threshold of 100,000 signatures within days and is currently one of the most popular petitions on the site.

Comment: People are starting to see through "Saint Bill"

Best of the Web: Greenland has gained 27+ gigatons of snow and ice over the past 5 days alone - MSM silent

Greenland ice sheet


Despite decades of doom-and-gloom prophecies, Greenland's Ice Sheet is currently GAINING monster amounts of "mass" โ€” 27 gigatons over the past 5 days alone (April 14 - 18, 2020).


Crucial to the survival of a glacier is its surface mass balance (SMB) - the difference between accumulation and ablation (sublimation and melting). Changes in mass balance control a glacier's long-term behavior, and are its most sensitive climate indicators.

On the back of substantial SMB gains over the past few years, the Greenland ice sheet looks set to continue that trend in 2019-20. From April 14 through April 18, 2020, the world's largest island added a monster 27+ gigatons to its ice sheet. According to climate alarmists, this simply shouldn't be happening in a warming world. In fact, it might as well not be happening as developments like these NEVER receive MSM attention, meaning alarmists are NEVER privy to the full and unalarming picture...

Best of the Web: The Waco siege: What happened when the Feds laid siege to the Branch Davidian compound


Comment: On 19 April 1993, 27 years ago today, an abominable crime took place in the United States. US federal agents ended their 51-day siege of a Christian community in Waco, Texas by killing 76 people, including 25 children and two pregnant women. The media painted the victims as 'terrorists' and 'pedophiles' who 'wouldn't come out of their cult compound' because they were 'bent on destruction'. Nothing could be further from the truth...


waco branch davidians
The siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, is an important event in American history because it directly led to one of the biggest terrorist attacks on American soil - the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. It's not necessary to defend this act of terrorism to understand why the entire freedom movement of the time was so incensed by it. Indeed, it stood as a symbol of federal overreach and the corruption of the Clinton Administration.

It's important to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the siege of Waco, just as it is important to do so with the siege of Ruby Ridge or the attack on the American consolate in Benghazi. With every event, it is important to stick to the facts and what can be extrapolated from them to make the strongest argument about what went wrong and why, and what could be done differently in the future.

Background: Who Are the Branch Davidians?

The Branch Davidians were a tiny offshoot of mainstream Seventh-Day Adventism. This stemmed from an earlier split between the main church and a group called Shepherd's Rod, The Rod or the Davidians. It was effectively a reform movement within Adventism, albeit with some beliefs considered heretical by the mainstream church, none of which are important or relevant for this discussion.

The Branch Davidians were established some 20 years later, and a much more radical departure from Seventh-Day Adventism born from disappointment at the failure of earlier prophecies to materialize. There was some wrangling over the leadership of the group after the death of its founder, but Vernon Howell, better known to the world as David Koresh, ultimately won out over the wife and son of the founder.

Best of the Web: The viral 'infodemic': Corona1984 is Fake News OVERLOAD

Infodemic
© Corbett Report
It's silent. It's deadly. It's spreading all around the globe. And, if you're not careful, it'll get you next!

The viral pandemic? No, silly! The viral infodemic.

Haven't you heard? There's a tsunami of fake news that's coming to get you! And if you plebs don't behave properly then your rulers are just going to have to shut down the internet for your own good.

If you haven't heard the term "infodemic" yet, then lucky you. But trust me, you're going to be hearing about this idea ad nauseum in the coming months, so you better get prepared.

So what is an infodemic, exactly? Good question. Let's turn to everybody's favorite global health agency, the World Health Organization, for that answer, shall we?

On February 2nd they released a situation report on the novel coronavirus outbreak that had a section on "Managing the 2019-nCoV 'infodemic'." This report helpfully explains that an infodemic is "an over-abundance of information - some accurate and some not - that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it."

Oh, no! Too much information? Say it ain't so! If only someone can save us from this terrible scourge of having to use our own brains and apply a little discernment to the information we encounter!

Best of the Web: Bombshell COVID-19 discovery: Smokers are far less likely to contract illness - Scientists 'astonished'


Comment: Holy Geebus, we really are near The End! A British daily has published evidence that smoking tobacco protects people from COVID-19!


smokers outside buildings
Forced into a form of social isolation for the last 20 years, smokers are in fact best positioned to cope with viral pandemics
When world-famous artist wrote a letter to the Daily Mail saying he believes smoking could protect people against the coronavirus many scoffed. Mr Hockney wrote: 'Could it not be that smokers have developed an immune system to this virus? With all these figures coming out, it's beginning to look like that to me.'

Understandably the claim was brushed off as laughable and 'rubbish' by many.

But is it?

A leading infectious disease expert at University College London, Professor Francois Balloux, said there is 'bizarrely strong' evidence it could be true.

Comment: Wow.

It finally happened.

A mainstream article that has no choice but to acknowledge a strong scientific signal that smoking tobacco protects people against certain viruses.

It only took them 20-freaking-years of crappy science and precisely the wrong medical advice - and a farcical 'pandemic' - to figure it out!

Well, we told y'all so.

Best of the Web: Germans decry 'out of proportion' Covid-19 lockdown measures with multiple protests against 'social distancing'

German citizens expressed their anger with what they call extreme Covid-19 lockdown measures in several demonstrations that included cages, empty chairs and sit-ins, yet all were carried out to keep safe distances.

At a demonstration in Munich's Marienplatz on Friday, citizens in medical masks and all adhering to social distancing guidelines under the watchful eye of police protested what they called the "absurdity" of the measures.

"I actually protested an absurdity, I sat on a park bench, that was at a time, i.e. last week, when it was still forbidden and that's why I was arrested," Thomas Prudlo, a member of the Ecological Democratic Party (ODP), said. "I almost see a piece of cabaret there, because a million joggers could jog past me, but an old grandmother was not allowed to sit on the park bench." He explained that he protested these "out of proportion" measures and got arrested.

Comment: In the US citizens are also getting restless and upset about the draconian lockdown measures being employed against them. The governor of Minnesota eased lockdown rules after outraged residents took to the streets to demand an end to the lockdown.

Trump called for multiple states governed by Democrats to be 'liberated' from strict stay-at-home orders. The vague message earned heated reactions, with everyone reading their own meaning into it.

Trump called on residents of Minnesota, Michigan, and Virgina to "liberate" their states, according to a tweetstorm sent out on Friday.

American intelligence passed an early warning about the coronavirus to Tel Aviv and NATO as far back as November, Israel's Channel 12 claims, even after a top US medical intel officer dismissed a similar report just last week.

The broadcaster aired a story on Thursday alleging that the US intelligence community shared classified information about a new viral outbreak in China with the Israeli military and senior NATO officials. With nobody willing to go on record to confirm the report, however, the story is based on murky anonymous sourcing, leaving it a mystery where the claim originated. The Channel 12 broadcast said, as cited by i24 News:
"Still in November, the IDF held a first discussion regarding what impact this unknown disease would have were it to reach the Middle East. How would we be affected? How would it affect our neighbors?"
A similar report from ABC last week stated that the Pentagon's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI) warned that an outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan could become a "cataclysmic event" in a document compiled last November. But the story was swiftly shot down by NCMI director Colonel R. Shane Day, who insisted "No such NCMI product exists" and that the report was simply "not correct."

Comment: It's hard to believe this 'major incident' nothing-burger occurred in 2018. It seems like a lifetime ago now...

On 4 March 2018, both Sergei Skripal and his daughter who was visiting from their shared home country of Russia, Yulia Skripal, were poisoned in Salisbury England, and โ€” though both survived โ€” neither of them has been allowed to communicate to the public except under the watch of their British court-appointed 'guardians'. They also have been prohibited to communicate with any Russians. Repeated efforts by the Russian Embassy to be allowed to communicate with them have been rejected by the UK Government. The BBC reported on 18 May 2018, that, "Ms Skripal was released on 9 April and was moved to a secure location. It is not known whether Mr Skripal has been taken to the same location as his daughter." UK's National Health Service issued a news-release that same day headlined "Sergei Skripal discharged from Salisbury District Hospital". Efforts by (at least) Ms. Skripal, to communicate with members of her family in Russia, and also with her fiancรฉ, also in Russia, have been blocked by the UK Government. No legal charges have been filed against either of the Skripals.

Comment: How to understand the 'Skripal Saga' now in the era of the apocalyptic 'Covid-19 plague'?

Like many other nothing-burger 'incidents of global importance' since 9/11, it was a mediatized event. Something really happened, but that something was insignificant and blown up into a 'major deal' by the media for the purpose of distracting us all while the Powers That Be and their authoritarian followers busily laid plans for a hostile global takeover of the human population.
