Bill Gates, the Billionaires and Apocalyptic Philanthropy

In lieu of the bizarre weather we've experienced as of late, it may be of some interest to know that the United States government is conducting, at the very least, 66 geoengineering, and weather modification experiments in the western states, as well as in  Mexico and Canada according to NOAA.   However, "most are not listed due to their experimental nature, military classification, university experiments, and failures to notify NOAA by various states, counties, cities, weather modification companies, and private individuals and corporations who may all modifying your weather".

For instance, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG E) is conducting a weather modification program in Plymouth County, California, where they are enhancing the snow in one of the regions.  How do they enhance the snow?  Well, the electric company seeds the clouds, using chemicals such as acetone, silver iodide, etc.  That has created snow in the area...so much snow, in fact,  that it has inconvenienced and cost the community money to plow themselves out.  Not only that, the health effects are starting to show up, leaving many in the community, very ill. Because, what seeds the clouds, eventually falls to earth. 

That's not all. There is the ripple effect. The communities nearby are suffering from drought, low water levels, rationing, low crop yields, etc. Even small-scale weather modification that promotes rain or snow in one area, will always occur at the detriment of another area.  Nevertheless, many of these programs are not small -- they are massive, such as the one based out of Idaho, a state that's 83,000 square miles, but the specific program is  modifying 178,000 square miles!

Here's the thing. There are no laws governing weather modification.  Any uber-wealthy idiot, can hire any company it wants to conduct one, or many of these weather modification experiments, for any reason. Which brings us to Bill Gates, who is, in addition to vaccinating the world down to zero, funds all types of weather modification endeavors, such as, cloud whitening programs (adding finely milled salt into man-made clouds to make them brighter in order to reflect the sunlight away from the earth), hurricane modification, and several more precipitation enhancement, Solar Radiation Management (controlling sunlight before it reaches the planet), and water management programs just to name a few.

Texas is the # 1 weather modified state (followed by CA, CO, UT, WY) in the US, with its many associations: West Texas Weather Modification Association in San Angelo;  South Texas Weather Modification Association in San Antonio;  Southwest Rain Enhancement Association; the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District (Cloud seeding operations); Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA); Trans Pecos Weather Modification Association; Southern Ogallala Aquifer Rain (SOAR) Program, etc., which might explain Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, who has introduced a bill - every year since 2005 - that allows anyone to mitigate or modify your weather without public notification, consent, oversight or debate. The last one, U.S. Senate Bill S601, was not passed in 2010, thanks to Rosalind Peterson's successful lobbying efforts, but it is highly likely that Senator Hutchison will again introduce this bill in the Senate in 2011. This bill could also be added as an amendment to other legislation and passed. The implication for agriculture, watersheds, water supplies, and who will receive the benefits or the negative consequences are hidden from public view.

So, what's the motive, here? Well, profit and power, of course. Specifically, the untapped potential of water privatization - corporate control of water access. And, how do you make something profitable? Create scarcity.  Not to mention the global warming scheme that will result in a multi-trillion dollar industry. Then, there is the weaponization of weather. The U.S. Military has been involved in weather modification for half a century, and the extent to which they have progressed is still unknown.

"Water, thou hast no taste, no colour, no odour; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself ... Of the riches that exist in the world, thou art the rarest and also the most delicate thou so pure within the bowels of the earth!". - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Beware the Heart of Darkness that May Beat Behind the Benevolence of Billionaires

It shouldn't come as any surprise that power increases moral hypocrisy,  nevertheless, that's what  Dutch researchers found who tested the aforementioned hypothesis.  They noted, “the powerful impose more normative restraints on other people, but believe that they themselves can act with less restraint.” In other words, we, the less powerful, cannot afford to trust the rich and powerful, therefore, it's incumbent upon us to educate and inform ourselves beyond the elite propaganda.

The billionaires were each given 15 minutes to present their favourite cause. Over dinner they discussed how they might settle on an “umbrella cause” that could harness their interests.

The issues debated included reforming the supervision of overseas aid spending to setting up rural schools and water systems in developing countries. Taking their cue from Gates they agreed that overpopulation was a priority.
Take god  tech-titan, Bill "Microsoft" Gates, who gathered some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful billionaires, in secret, to discuss curbing  global population, something he claims is the most important issue of our time. During his speech, "Innovating to Zero", he clearly states his agenda, “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.”

Considering Mr. Gate's history, that falls on the sociopathic end of the spectrum,  and his dedication and investment (the Gates Foundation is actually an investment firm which reaps vast financial gains every year from investments that contravene its good works) to vaccinating the entire planet, his words are a little disturbing to say the least.
The Gates Foundation has poured $218 million into polio and measles immunization and research worldwide, including in the Niger Delta. At the same time that the foundation is funding inoculations to protect health, The Times found, it has invested $423 million in Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Total of France — the companies responsible for most of the flares blanketing the delta with pollution, beyond anything permitted in the United States or Europe.



So first, we should ask ourselves: Is overpopulation the overarching problem that Bill Gates asserts?  



Next, we must explore beneath the surface of Mr. Gate's persuasive rhetoric, because, in general, the truth is seldom found on the surface, however, in Mr. Gate's case, you can be certain, no matter how sincere his posture, it is only a pretense disguising his real purpose:  covert coercion to his will.

The Gates Foundation’s investment portfolio, included 500,000 shares of Monsanto - The short list of Monsanto`s toxic products includes Agent Orange, PCBs, aspartame, rBGH, and Ready Roundup. - stock.   Monsanto recently purchased the services of Xe (Blackwater) Intelligence Services and it was within that same time frame that Bill Gates purchased 23 million dollars (US) of Monsanto stocks, marking a substantial increase from its previous holdings, valued at just over $360,000.

Neo-Eugenics masquerading as altruism?

According to Edwin Black in his book, War Against the Weak, the eugenics movement got its start at the turn of the last century.  "American corporate philanthropy combined with prestigious academic fraud to create the pseudoscience eugenics". The Rockefeller Foundation funded eugenics research in Germany through the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin and Munich, including well into the Third Reich and 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.

In William Engdahl's book, Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, he reports that using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third World is 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.”

GMO crops and patented seeds were developed in the 1970’s with significant financial support from the pro-eugenics Rockefeller Foundation, by what were essentially chemical companies—Monsanto Chemicals, DuPont and Dow Chemicals. All three were involved in the scandal of the highly toxic Agent Orange used in Vietnam, as well as Dioxin in the 1970’s, and lied to cover up the true damage to its own employees as well as to civilian and military populations exposed.
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.
The bottom line seems to be that the partnership between government, the major foundations and the agribusiness industry reaps far more reward than do the purported recipients of the billionaire's "benevolence".

Citizen to Citizen.

With unemployment predicted to reach 8% by year's end, and food prices continuing to escalate, increasing numbers of Americans who normally donate to food pantries and volunteer at Soup kitchens are finding themselves on the receiving end of such programs. The number of Americans using food stamps is expected to surpass "the historic high set in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina".

Food pantries and other charitable organizations are reporting that supply is falling short of demand. It is also likely that the value of food stamps may not keep up with rising prices, as this benefit is only adjusted for inflation annually. However, citizen-centered philanthropy can make a world of difference, filling in where government programs fail to meet the needs of citizens who have fallen on bad times.

For instance, take Pam Koner, a mother of two in West Chester, NY, who, moved by an article in the New York Times, "In Trenches of a War on Unyielding Poverty", she gathered local families, in her neighborhood together and encouraged each of them to “adopt” one of the families - who live at an income level that is half the state average - in Pembroke IL, the rural community the article focused. What started out with 15 suburban families linked to 15 families living in impoverished conditions became Family-to-Family and grew to 700 families. All together Family-to-Family supports thirteen needy communities located in ten states.

Steve Jobs Makes Bill Gates Look Like a Saint.

I get the feeling Steve Jobs is not a very nice person. This is not the first story I've heard about the kind of man he is. I apologize if it turns out Jobs is giving away his fortune anonymously and is some kind of saint, but I doubt it.

Jobs, worth $3.3 billion, making him the 67th richest American, is certainly in a position to make the world a better place, but if this story is any indication of the way he runs his business, I'll never buy an Ipod, iMac or anything with the Apple name. Viruses and all, I'll stick with Bill Gates...at least the guy puts his money where his mouth is.

I like Mr. William H. Gates, Sr., Bill Gate's father, as well. I posted about him a few years back.

William Gates Sr., Bill Gates' father, is an advocate for a fair economy and Responsible Wealth which is a national network of businesspeople, investors and affluent Americans who are concerned about deepening economic inequality and are working for widespread prosperity. Our three primary areas of work are tax fairness, corporate responsibility, and living wages.

He truly believes that the wealthiest of us have a debt to the "source of their opportunity" which is the United States that enabled them through a stable government that educates its citizens, provides law and order and keeps us safe from harm, and supports research that gives them the necessary information to build wealth.
