Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates participates in a discussion during a luncheon of the Economic Club of Washington June 24, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Billionaire Bill Gates has become a top target of conspiracy theories related to the coronavirus pandemic, which the Microsoft co-founder called "bizarre."

"It's almost hard to deny this stuff because it's so stupid or strange that even to repeat it gives it credibility," Gates said Thursday on phone call announcing The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's $1.6 billion pledge to global vaccine alliance Gavi, according to Business Insider.

Since the start of the global pandemic, Gates has been the subject of conspiracies falsely linking him to the coronavirus' origins in some way or another. In fact a Yahoo News/YouGov survey in May found that 28% of U.S. adults believed a debunked conspiracy theory suggesting Gates planned to use an eventual Covid-19 vaccine to implant monitoring microchips in billions of people.

Comment: In other words, don't believe your lying eyes, or the massive pile of documentation that shows Bill is up to exactly what he is accused of, and more.

Carlson on 'Cultural Revolution' in America & The Media Ignoring Those Killed in The Riots

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau kneels in support of the lie that the USA is 'systemically racist'
The following are two clips from Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News yesterday (June 5th), regarding the ideological insanity that has taken possession of many in the US - and around the world - in the wake of the police killing of petty criminal George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25th.

The Cultural Revolution has come to America

Is there a single person who believes this moment will end in racial harmony? Is that even a goal anymore?


Comment: There's more.

Here's a video aired by CBS News in which NYC liberals and SJWs state their demands from 'White people':


Many 'Whites' are indeed meeting said demands, and more:


This overall event has been compared to - and described as - many things, from civil war to insurrection to cultural revolution. What strikes us as we take in the above are its eerie similarities to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, in which those among the 'bourgeoisie' who supported the revolution - whether out of fear or due to ideological possession - would voluntarily 'surrender their privileged positions' - including their residences and jobs - to 'members of the proletariat' for the 'glory of the revolution to usher in a new enlightened age'...

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi announced on Saturday Cairo's peace initiative for Libya that envisages ceasefire and conditions for a political settlement of the conflict.

"The intra-Libyan initiative aims at ending hostilities, it includes the withdrawal of foreign troops and the disarmament of factions," Sisi said.

The initiative envisages an equal representation of the three regions — Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan — in the presidential council, the unification of Libyan state institutions and the adoption of a constitutional declaration.

The new peace initiative for Libya envisages ceasefire beginning at 06:00 a.m. (04:00 GMT) on Monday, Abdel Fattah Sisi said.

"Our meeting resulted in an agreement on Cairo's support for the intra-Libyan ceasefire initiative starting at 06:00 a.m. on June 8, 2020," Sisi said.

The initiative calls for respect for all international efforts and related UN Security Council resolutions, the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country and the disarmament of groups. Sisi also warned against considering a military solution to the crisis in the country.

"It is of paramount importance that the United Nations and the international community should make it incumbent upon all foreign parties to pullout foreign mercenaries from all Libyan territories, dismantle militias and hand over their weapons," the text read.

Rep. Ilhan Omar
Rep. Ilhan Omar called for the Minneapolis Police Department to disband following the highly publicized death of George Floyd while in its custody.

"The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform," the Minnesota Democrat tweeted Friday. "It's time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis. Thank you to @MplsWard3 for your leadership on this!"

Omar introduced four bills this week aimed at addressing police accountability, governmental response to police brutality, and providing funds for communities affected by police brutality.

Comment: Tucker Carlson had some cogent words on the matter. "Without the police, there is only the rule of of the mob. But with people like this [who favor the disbanding], they don't fear the mob, because they control the mob"

Empire's regime-change tool, NED, endorses BLM protests, calls for 'racial justice' and to 'improve our democracy'

Comment: The below paragraphs are a statement put out by known imperial agitator and CIA outfit, the National Endowment for Democracy. Anyone paying a little attention to that organization's activities around the globe should be concerned that it is now affiliating itself and supporting the current BLM protests. When the NED enters a country, destabilization and chaos follows, all to the benefit of the US empire.


The brutal killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis has provoked an outpouring of anger and rage that the United States has not seen since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. more than fifty years ago. Our democracy is being tested as never before in the memory of most living Americans. We will not overcome this crisis and begin to heal our nation unless the four police officers responsible for the killing of George Floyd are prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and unless America commits itself fully to the principles of racial justice and equality for all citizens.

The NED's mission of supporting people around the world who are fighting for democracy is based upon the same values of freedom and human equality that inspired the movement for civil rights that ended the Jim Crow system of legalized racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. Those values are rooted in the American creed, and it was by appealing to them that the civil rights movement achieved its historic breakthrough. But much more needs to be done to carry forward the struggle to end racism. By doing so, we will be more united and stronger as a country.

Joe Biden won enough delegates on Saturday to become the Democratic presidential nominee in November's election against President Donald Trump, NBC News projects.

To win the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on the first ballot at the party's convention, a candidate must receive support from a majority of pledged delegates — at least 1,991 of the total 3,979 pledged delegates available.

Heading into the weekend, Biden had already amassed a projected 1,970 pledged delegates after winning a series of Democratic primaries on June 2. He now has 2,000, according to NBC News.

Not satire: MSNBC hires disgraced FBI lawyer Lisa Page as legal analyst

Lisa Page and Peter Strzok
Lisa Page, the former FBI lawyer who worked on former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, has joined MSNBC as a legal analyst, the network announced Friday.

Page was thrust into the national spotlight after text messages were leaked between her and FBI counterintelligence agent Andrew Strzok in which they criticized President Trump. Strzok was removed from Mueller's team, while Page had already returned to the FBI.

She swiftly emerged as a chief GOP boogeyman, with Republicans saying her texts with Strzok were evidence that elements of the Justice Department were trying to impede Trump's presidency.

Page later filed a lawsuit against the FBI and Justice Department, claiming the agencies unlawfully released to the press text messages between her and Strzok in December 2017 for "multiple improper reasons."

Comment: Trump's response:


And some choice tweets:




The MSNBC hacks who made this decision probably actually think this is a big win for the "resistance". If so, they have about as much self-insight as Lisa Page, so she'll fit in perfectly.

Creepy Uncle Joe is promising trillions in reparations for Black Americans if he makes it to the White House... But would he pay up?

Joe-mentia bends the knee
Top Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is being asked to pledge that he will endorse $14 trillion in compensation for the slave years if elected. Will he make the pledge, only to brush it aside once he's in the White House?

If ever there was a time for the US black community to demand reparations for being subjected to the centuries-long slave trade, now is certainly it. In the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a white cop, the country is convulsing from the fires of protest from coast to coast. At the same time, a large chunk of the population, when not adjusting their surgical masks, is hand-wringing over their purported 'white privilege'. To further complicate this nationwide nervous breakdown, we are just five months away from what promises to be the most contentious and momentous US presidential election in recent memory.

Enter Joe Biden, 77, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who may be tempted to turn on the money hose to pacify Black Lives Matter and end the looting, burning and general chaos that has shaken the United States to its very foundation. To this end, it didn't come across as a subtle form of bribery when Delaware State Senator Darius Brown strongly suggested that Biden do what he can to fund reparations.

Comment: Biden's mental state is scandalous. That his family continues to let him run for the highest office in the land should lay them open to elder abuse charges. But maybe its a ruse? A puppet is no use if he is unable to follow orders. Is Joe the loss-leader to bring in a candidate at the Dem convention that would not otherwise be approved by the Democratic base? Killary's been making moves for months. Nothing coming out of his mouth with respect to his "presidential campaign" should be taken seriously. Bridge is ascribing much more agency to this addled-headed cutout than he is capable of. He is only parroting what his handlers tell him, when he isn't going disastrously off-script.

Lawless: Washington pressures International Criminal Court over US & Israel war crimes

There is apparently no limit to what the United States and Israel can get away with without any consequences. The United States has been waging devastating economic warfare against Iran and Venezuela while also blaming China for a global health crisis that it is unwilling to help address due to its withdrawal from the World Health Organization. Israel meanwhile is planning on illegally annexing significant parts of the Palestinian West Bank in July, with a green light from the Trump Administration, and no one in Europe or elsewhere is even interested in initiating serious sanctions that might lead to the postponing of that decision. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has even stated flatly that the remaining Palestinians who would be annexed will not become Israeli citizens - they will instead be "subjects" of the Jewish state with no guaranteed rights or privileges.

The American Establishment is totally committed to the principle that the United States and Israel should have a "free hand" in dealing with other countries in their respective spheres of influence. That effectively means controlling the narrative so that the U.S. and the Jewish state always appear to be victims of other nations' unprincipled behavior and also creating an environment where there can be no effective legal challenges to aggressive action.

A general view shows the Russian Foreign Ministry headquarters and the Kremlin towers during sunset in Moscow, Russia.
The expulsion of two Russian diplomats over the imaginary Prague poisoning plot is a very hostile move, Russia's Foreign Ministry has said, warning the scandal is set to affect relations between the two countries.

"The Czech side has acted dishonorably and unworthily, taking this unfriendly step. Without any reason, the Czech authorities caused serious damage to Russian-Czech relations," the ministry said in a statement.

"The actions of Prague will receive not only an adequate response, but will be also taken into account during formation of Russian policies towards the Czech Republic."
