“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world”
1 John 4:1
“For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
2 Peter 2:1-22
WORDS OF EMPTINESS
Brethren, is your pastor teaching from the Word of God, or is he teaching from his own mind and imaginations? Does he avoid Scriptures which might offend?
Does your pastor allude to the possibility that there are more paths to the Father in heaven than only through the Son Jesus Christ?
Is your pastor avoiding Bible Prophecy, the Book of Revelation and all Scriptures which speak of the Rapture; saying to you that it is a profoundly confusing book and cannot be discerned by men and women?
Does he never talk about Israel, or if he does, is it in a negative manner?
Does your pastor teach that homosexuality is something to be embraced by the children of God – and to not do this is sinful?
Does your pastor never speak of the great sin of Abortion?
Is Sin spoken of in your church, and the need for repentance before a person can truly be saved?
Does your pastor give the unsaved the opportunity to understand and hopefully receive the Gift of Salvation at each service? (like Pastor JD Farag and the ABC’s of Salvation)
When speaking about God, does your pastor only teach about God as LOVE – leaving out these attributes: RIGHTEOUS, JUST and HOLY?
Does your pastor teach that the Bible is not to be taken literally?
WOLVES AND HIRELINGS IN THE PULPIT
If you became uncomfortable as you read the questions above because these are the things you are being taught or not taught, then the probability that you are sitting under a Wolf or Hireling is very great.
THE SOCIAL JUSTICE FALSE GOSPEL
There was a young woman who had a huge following. Her name was Rachel Held Evans. She was a teacher of the False “Social Justice” gospel. Rachel taught that God was only “Love” but left out His Holiness, Justice and Righteousness.
She taught that a loving God would never reject any lifestyle. Of course she was speaking of the LGBT movement. She taught all manner of heresies and her following grew exponentially.
Rachel Held Evens died from unknown causes at the age of 37. Her family and her followers were devastated.
Here is an article I wrote about Evans before her death:
That admonition to the Christian is one of the most important Scriptures! Jesus warned us of the deception which was coming and had come already. To keep us safe, He had Paul write those words to only follow a person if that person follows Christ.
And that means to view the Word of God as inerrant and infallible. God never changes and neither does His Word.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
1 John 1:1-3
Conservatism is NOT Christianity
Somehow, the notion that if a person is Conservative in their political views, then that means they must be a follower of Christ. This could not be further from the truth.
My husband and I have volunteered at our local GOP headquarters in years past. We met many Conservatives who were not Christians. Many of them mocked the Bible; had no opinions about abortion and obviously did not have a Biblical worldview.
Most of them were very wealthy and were against big government and high taxes. We feel the same about those issues, but first we are Christians and our worldview is Biblical.
The Devil lies in wait to deceive Christians
Before the last election, I was sent many emails asking what I thought about QAnon. I suggested that people avoid that group completely. Many of the writers of those emails were tricked into thinking that because Q seemed to be Conservative, then they must be Christians.
Here is a Prophecy Update with Pastor Brandon Holthaus and Pastor Tom Hughes. Pastor Holthaus addresses QAnon in this:
The video is almost an hour long but I urge the reader to make time to watch this. On a side note, Simon Parkes is a Q person. You know – the man who had millions tuning into his videos after the election; speaking of ‘secret intelligence’ he was receiving from D.C. He told his followers that President Trump would prevail and that Deep State would be rounded up and thrown into jail. He also says that his mother is a 9 ft tall reptilian alien. Need I say more about that?
NEW AGE DECEIVING SOME CHRISTIANS
Brethren, be very careful of where you land yourself on the internet. Satan in his craftiness is fooling many immature believers on New Age websites.
There is a site named “Eraoflight.com” which I do NOT suggest that new or baby Christians visit. IF you choose to look at the content of this site – make sure that you PRAY that God will protect your mind and keep you safe from the enemy.
That site is NEW AGE on steroids. But they are also Politically Conservative AND they talk about Jesus being Lord. The mature Christian will immediately see that the “Jesus” of whom they speak is NOT our Jesus Christ the Son of God.
These people speak of aliens living among us. They talk about astral-projection, reincarnation and channeling ascended masters. This is a site which all Christians should completely avoid!
Please tell friends and family about this. Be a watchman on the wall!
I went there so that I could write and warn the brethren about this New Age Cult. I will NEVER visit that site again. Please remember that Satan takes a bit of truth and then twists it. He even did this with our Lord Jesus in the wilderness! But our Lord came back every time with IT IS WRITTEN.
I pray that this article helped even one person who is being led astray.
Now that the legislation to demonize Christians for teaching from the BIBLE about homosexuality, which clearly states that God considers it to be an abomination to Himself: What will the Imams do when they are teaching from the Qur’an that not only does “Allah” hate the detestable practice, but also still teaches that these people should be killed?
When Jesus walked the earth, many of the OT punishments were nullified when He paid the price for the sins of the whole World.
But not so in Islamic teaching. The punishment for homosexuality remains the same to this day. Many homosexuals are thrown from the rooftops of buildings to their deaths in Saudi Arabia. They are just following Muhammad and the Qur’an.
Hidden camera in Muslim-owned bakery: man pretends to want a wedding cake with two men on it:
But the practice of homosexuality is still an abomination to our Lord. But we as Christians are to love these people enough to tell them the truth. Homosexuals should be welcomed into our churches but NEVER into membership or to hold positions of authority. We should want them to come in so that they might hear the Word of God and repent of this sin.
Imams would not have homosexuals in their mosques. They would rather have them killed.
But let’s not forget the practice of “TAQIYYA” In Islam. What is Taqiyya?
Taqiyya:
Deception, Lying and Taqiyya
Does Islam permit Muslims to lie?
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper-hand over an enemy.”
There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. source
So, perhaps to avoid being arrested along with the Christians, Muslims may resort to Taqiyya in the future. They may tell those outside of the Mosque that the LBGTQ gang is perfectly fine with them to avoid any legal issues.
But inside the Mosque, the Imam would speak directly from the Qur’an and reiterate that homosexuals must be killed.
Homosexuals are beheaded, hanged and stoned in modern Saudi Arabia and Iran, where Muhammad’s laws are applied most strictly. Five other Muslim countries have the death penalty on their books for homosexual behavior. In the past, gays were burned.
As one cleric recently put it, the only point of theological debate is not whether the homosexual should be killed, but how it should be done. (See also Fatwa Islamiyah, which advocates burning and stoning).
Zafar Bangash, an imam and journalist who serves as the Director of Contemporary Islamic Thought and president of an Islamic Society chapter in Canada, has openly called for gays to be stoned to death: “My brothers and sisters, it is not time to live in coexistence with them. It is time for us to pick up the stones to stone these people to death for the abomination that they are committing.“
In 2016, an educated imam in Tunisia explained that while it may seem harsh, there is no ambiguity in Islam:
God is very straightforward about this — not we Muslims, not subjective, the Sharia is very clear about it, the punishment for homosexuality, bestiality or anything like that is death. We don’t make any excuses about that, it’s not our law — it’s the Quran
There are several places in the Quran where the story of Sodom is repeated, with emphasis placed on the destruction of the town for homosexual lewdness. Also, according to Serge Trifkovic:
Mohammed’s first successor Abu Bakr reportedly had a homosexual burned at the stake. The fourth caliph, Mohammed’s son-in-law Ali, ordered a sodomite thrown from the minaret of a mosque. Others he ordered to be stoned. One of the earliest and most authoritative commentators on the Koran, Ibn ‘Abbas (died 687) blended both approaches into a two-step execution in which “the sodomite should be thrown from the highest building in the town and then stoned. (source)
Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi-Amoli of Iran said, in April of 2012, that homosexuals are inferior to dogs and pigs, since these animals do not engage in such acts (presumably). In November of that year, a cleric on British television stated, “What should be done to those who practice homosexuality? Torture them; punish them; beat them and give them mental torture.”
A 2014 fatwa from the mainstream OnIslam.net proclaimed that homosexuality is “abnormal” and abhorrent” and confirmed that gays should be killed: “The punishment for men or women who are unwilling to give up homosexuality and therefore are rejecting the guidance of Allah Most High is in fact death according to Islam.”
An imam invited to speak at a Florida mosque in 2016 said that killing gays was an “act of compassion”.
In 2017, the leader of Chechnya openly proclaimed that he would defend the right of families to honor kill their gay members (in 2019, it came to light that several had died there under torture).
In a prepared monologue on a Muslim Brotherhood TV channel in 2020, host Hala Samir explained that Muhammad’s companions disagreed only with whether gays should be burned alive, thrown to their deaths or stoned. She also took issue with the “gay” label, because it ‘sounds nice.’
Since the resurrection of the caliphate in 2014 (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) dozens of homosexuals have been thrown from rooftops. Other have been stoned to death. Muslim identity groups, such as CAIR, did not offer a single denunciation of these serial murders. (They did condemn the 2016 massacre at a gay night club in Orlando, perhaps because the toll made it too conspicuous to ignore).
Muslim political leaders in the West often imitate and form alliances with social liberals which sometimes include peripheral support for gay rights. Unfortunately, this appears to be more out of expediency and self-interest rather than genuine concern. There has never been any noticeable effort on the part of Muslim leaders in the West to relieve the plight of homosexuals in Islamic countries overseas – where their influence would surely carry more weight than that of their secular allies.
I have been following and reporting on the source of the China Plague since the beginning of 2020. That source is the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
But it goes much deeper than that. At the end of the article from Daily Caller, I will republish my article from 2020 which explained America’s part in the global terrorist attack which was unleashed on the entire world by the Viral Institute in Wuhan.
That article was all about a man named Tony Fauci and how he funded the Wuhan Institute to continue to do the GOFR (Gain of Function Research) on the Covid-19 Virus when a moratorium was declared in the U.S. for this feckless practice. And you will not believe the amount of funding sent by Fauci to China (our tax dollars, by the way).
It has been reported by reliable sources that the U.S. (NIH) will continue to fund that lab until at least 2024.
Rep. Matt Gaetz: US Taxpayers Funding Chinese Research Center In Wuhan
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said Tuesday that it’s time to end United States taxpayer funding of a Chinese research center in Wuhan that may “have birthed a monster virus onto the world.”
The funds from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are going to the same laboratory that some reports say was the site where the COVID-19 virus was both produced and leaked to the surrounding community, Gaetz told “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“I’m against funding Chinese research in our country, but I’m sure against funding it in China. The NIH gives this $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers and following that coronavirus erupts in Wuhan,” Gaetz explained.
“What’s really troubling to me that is either conspicuously or miraculously the Wuhan Institute of Virology is able to sequence the virus on January 2 but China doesn’t admit to the virus existing until January 9 and then the Wuhan Institute of Virology doesn’t release this important scientific information to the world until January 12,” the congressman said.
“So at best Americans are funding people who are lying to us and at worst, we are funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world.”
Host Tucker Carlson asked Gaetz why Americans are providing any funding at all to China, given that the country “is about to eclipse us in terms of the size of its economy.”
“There is a far too cozy relationship between U.S. research and Chinese research because there are some research institutions in our country who realize the short-term benefit of Chinese cash. But that doesn’t excuse our government and what should really trouble viewers is this is an active grant, this isn’t something of yesteryear,” Gaetz responded, adding that Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar could end the funding “with the stroke of pen.”
The congressman said that is distinct possibility in the current political environment and “it’s consistent with the fantastic news that President [Donald] Trump gave us today,” that the United States will halt funding to the World Health Organization.
“We’ve been taken advantage of in those globalist infrastructures for far too long under both Republicans and Democrats. President Trump gives us the chance to liberate ourselves from this and put our people, our health and our economy first,” Gaetz told Fox News.
Despite strong evidence linking the coronavirus to the consumption of bats, China has reopened some of its wet markets.
The Daily Caller has reached out to NIH, Secretary Azar’s office and Gaetz for confirmation of the funding and further comment. Gaetz replied, “For years, the U.S. governments has been funding cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the global spread of COVID-19, with virtually no U.S. oversight.” Source
In my research of Dr. Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, it has become evident to me that he has a long record of making risky and irresponsible decisions about virus research.
In a prior article I quoted the dollar amount paid to the Wuhan Lab by NIH as $3.7 million. It has now been revealed that the true funding amounted to $7.4 million.
There is a term which I have been seeing frequently during this global nightmare – GOFR which means “Gain of Function Research.” In lay terms, it simply means manipulating a virus or adding to its capabilities.
There could be a host of functions added to the corona virus. One of these could be to increase the infectiousness of the virus. Another might dramatically increase the danger to humans who become infected.
And conversely, the virus could be tweaked to be less infectious. These are truly ‘mad scientists’ and I place Dr. Fauci at the very top – being enabled by Bill Gates et al.
I have read that blood clots are developing in recovered patients of Covid-19. Another side effect which doctors are seeing is a skin infection, actually called “Covid Toes” because it strikes the foot/toes more than other areas of the body. Sometimes it resembles gangrene.
A man who had recovered from Covid-19 had to have his leg amputated because of a blood clot. Another patient who developed a blood clot in the brain; during the operation to remove the clot, the surgeon noticed long spindly structures hanging off of the clot.
Dr. Fauci Backed Funding for Controversial Wuhan Lab With Millions of U.S. Dollars For Risky Coronavirus Research
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the coronavirus task force, had previously backed funding for a controversial lab in Wuhan, China, that has been studying the coronavirus in bats, reports said.
Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases had shelled out a total of $7.4 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab — which has become the focus of theories about the origin of COVID-19, according to Newsweek.
The National Institutes of Health, which oversees the NIAID, shut down all funding to the lab last week.
“At this time, NIH does not believe that the current project outcomes align with the program goals and agency priorities,” a deputy director at the agency wrote in a letter obtained by Politico.
There is “increasing confidence” among officials in the Trump administration that the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab is the original site of the virus. A report by Fox News said embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety there.
The NIH defended its funding of the lab in a statement to Newsweek.
“Most emerging human viruses come from wildlife, and these represent a significant threat to public health and biosecurity in the US and globally,” the statement read.
“Scientific research indicates that there is no evidence that suggests the virus was created in a laboratory.” source
And that’s Dr.Fauci’s stand and he is sticking to it. Many of us have connected the dots and realize that Fauci is lying to stay out of jail.
I think that jail would be perfect for the doctor, considering that he is an international terrorist. Source
With the Third Term of Obama in the O’Biden White House, it does not shock me in the least that our illegal government has made the decision to continue to blow millions of dollars into the Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. GROUND ZERO for the China Plague is still in cahoots with our government!
“……and the GATES of HELL shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18b)
At the moment I am rather speechless. It seems that Bill Gates makes George Soros look more like Mr. Rogers.
First I want to give a LANGUAGE WARNING
A brother in Christ sent this to me after his daughter sent it to him. The brother had written a piece on Bill Gates being into Marketing and he told me that everything on this website confirms his writing –on steroids.
Bill Gates & the Product Placement Companies He Owns
Article Summary:
Gates owns a product placement advertising group that makes ads for pharmaceutical and telecom companies he is invested in, including Gilead. He also owns the rights to many celebrities and influencers, including late night talk show hosts that speak about him like he can do no wrong. Also, Bill Gates once owned a collection of images of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and he sold the rights to China, who then censored them from the internet. What an asshole.
The name Bill Gates conjures thoughts of Windows 10 error screens and the $48 billion foundation he wreaks havoc with around the world so he can “save” it.
But, did you know Gates founded and currently owns a massive artificial intelligence product placementgroup? He sure does! It’s called Branded Entertainment Network. The group also handles rights clearances and personality rights management for a very large portion of the entertainment industry.
Article: The Branded Entertainment Network Expands Partnership with The Producers Guild of America
With Americans consuming media for nearly 12 hours a day according to Nielsen, this is highly concerning.
Gates’s reach into popular culture is staggering. His sphere of influence includes late night shows, movies like Talladega Nights, product placement in Netflix and Amazon Prime original series, Disney, Apple, popular Youtube channels, and Warner Media. That barely begins to cover the list.

Bill Gates’ New Mission: Getting Jimmy Kimmel to Hawk Chicken Wings
Bill Gates has established himself as the de facto middle man of funding and the visionary of modern philanthropy efforts. Just as flashy as Gates is with his charity efforts, he is silent about his infiltration of modern media. He has seized control of the means by which companies can advertise their products, the people and shows that advertise the products, and the platforms they are advertised on. He owns the very name, life rights, and public-facing images of many celebrities.
It is a HUGE mess.

How Did This Happen?
When Gates founded the company in 1989 (known then as Interactive Home Systems and later Corbis), his goal was to license and digitalize artwork/historic images for a digital frame concept his team was working on. He believed someday people might decorate their homes with a revolving display of digital artwork. That didn’t pan out as expected, and in 1997 the company would pivot to focus on image and video licensing and ditch the frame altogether.
Over the years Gates acquired the rights to the Bettman Archive, the Sygma Collection, and a stock image company called ZEFA. It would later acquire rights to digital reproduction of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the National Gallery in London.
“In some sense the iconic photograph of Rosa Parks recreating her quiet act of rebellion on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., belongs to every American. But as a practical matter, it belongs to Bill Gates.”
In 2016, Corbis rebranded again into Branded Entertainment Network– the name being used currently. This came after Gates sold the image licensing portion of the business to Unity Glory International– part of the Visual China Group. During the sale, it was discovered that among the over 100 million photos and videos owned by Corbin were many files and photos from the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The Chinese Communist Party has gone to extreme lengths to conceal knowledge of the rebellion from its citizens, and many were worried the photos would be lost for good.
Those worries were not unfounded.
When CNN used to report actual news.
We are thrilled to add this treasure-house of valuable image assets to our premium brand portfolios. The transaction strengthens our dominant position in China’s image industry, enhances our core competence in the global high-end image market, and marks a significant milestone on our journey of globalization.

How Extreme is Censorship by the CCP?
To this day, every year around June 4 the Chinese Communist Party rounds up political dissidents, human rights advocates, and families of Tiananmen Square victims to prevent them from gathering or speaking. The location is still to this day off limits to any foreign news outlets. References to the protests are banned in textbooks and print media, and the Great Firewall has been largely successful in scrubbing the topic from Google services and any other allusions to the topic. On social media, phrases such as “this day“, “31 years” and “between spring and summer” are banned entirely.
“People will eventually understand that many issues today stem from social problems that weren’t resolved in 1989,” said Hu Jia, an activist under house arrest. “In a tyranny, they are deprived of a series of rights — land grabs, forced home demolitions, educational inequality and environmental pollution are all along the same line.”
With Bill Gates’s sale of these images to Visual China Group, even more opportunities for digital censorship would arise, a topic covered by Christoph Rhage who is a visual artist and author who writes on the subject of Chinese culture.
“Log onto Corbis and try to look for identical search terms in English and Chinese,” he said. “You will get different results.”
In 2016, typing Tiananmen Square protests into Corbis Image search engine yielded a couple of photos of the protests. If Chinese characters were used, it resulted in only photos of celebrities. Searching for other controversial topics within China like Falun Gong 法轮功, and Tibet 西藏 yielded similar results.
A spokesman for Corbis did not respond at the time with an answer as to why this happened, and neither did anyone from the Gates Foundation respond to requests for comments.
Later, Visual China Group licensed the photos to Getty Images for usage outside China.
Seattle-based Infoflows — a business intelligence software company whose technology is used to monitor licensed digital content — was hired by Corbis to perform development work. But after gaining exposure to the Infoflows Fedmark service, Corbis allegedly terminated the contract and then claimed ownership of the technology. The suit alleged that Corbis filed a patent based on the Infoflows technology.
“We are pleased that the court of Appeals saw this case for what it was — repugnant conduct by executives of Corbis who attempted to deceive Infoflows and misappropriate its intellectual property and then cover their actions,” said Infoflows CEO Steve Stone.
Bill Gates and Today’s Pop Culture Landscape
Despite push back at the time, Gates finalized the sale and moved on to the newest phase of his venture: guiding celebrity and influencer culture to sell things to the masses by shaping market trends. Seriously.

As far as celebrities go, Greenlight/Gates owns the rights to their image/likeness (photos, illustrations, silhouettes, distinctive gestures), name (written or spoken), quotes or speeches, distinctive phrases, and objects directly associated with them (e.g.: Prince’s guitar).
After the sale of Corbis, the Branded Entertainment Network’s business holdings included its artificial intelligence brand integration services,
Splash News, a celebrity photo agency, which the group later sold off, and
Greenlight, a business that provides licensing for images, music, video, and personality rights.
They have offices operating out of Los Angeles, New York, London, Provo, and Berlin.

“This development means more than getting your brand into TV shows and feature films. It means looking into a variety of content on multiple platforms including influencer content on digital platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch.tv”
– From The Definitive Guide to Brand Integration distributed by BEN
A Look Into the Gates Advertising Sphere of Influence I wonder what happens if someone steps out of line?
With streaming content getting more and more popular, Gates knew he needed to get in on it at the advent of the new wave of advertising. In 2018, BEN would do over $1.2 Billion in brand integrations. Projections for 2020 are even higher. The company partnered with NBCUniversal to promote Target during a single episode of Superstore, and the results were huge.
“In fact, they’ve proven more effective than a traditional TV spot,” said Target’s executive vice president Rick Gomez.
Bill Gates had a hand in the rise in General Motors sales after Deadpool, Buick sales after Big Little Lies, Tecate and Jose Cuervo sales after Narcos, and thousands of other examples just like it.
Yes, even the “alternative” superhero Deadpool is in the Bill Gates circle of advertising shit.
No one is immune. Not even the dead.
Gates owns Marlon Brando, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, Charlie Chaplin, Muhammad Ali, Thomas Edison, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, The Wright Brothers, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, and Sophia Loren.
A mixture of icons, living and dead, being used to sell stuff.
Is there anything more grotesque than Bill Gates using Albert Einstein’s life rights to promote Salesforce and sell McDonald’s, Disney products, and Einstein Bros. Bagels?
Just a few years ago, social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch.tv were places where anyone could “make it” if they made the effort. Now, even the personalities that seem the most genuine were likely cultivated to seem that way. For example in early 2019, Electronic Arts joined the Bill Gates Circle of Shit to launch their new game Apex Legends through influencer marketing alone. It was the #1 trending spot on Twitch and had 60 million views and 25 million downloads in the first week.
YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram are platforms Gates is focused on the most.
Popular YouTuber David Dobrik partnered with EA to promote a new Need for Speed: Heat app and to promote downloads. To do this, he made a video titled Surprising Best Friend With a Lamborghini!!
Tone Deaf Instagram Influencers:
During fall 2019, a group of popular Instagram influencers took part in a sponsored ad campaign for Saudi Arabia and received a lot of backlash. Ricky Ray Butler, CEO of Branded Entertainment Network, had this to say:
“A lot of creators I know aren’t political. They’re all about having fun and adventure and experiencing new things,” Mr. Butler said. “They’re not thinking about politics, they’re thinking about the lifestyle.”
I don’t believe this campaign was organized by BEN, but that’s a pretty dumb response.
Reddit:
Even Greenlight’s advertising their “organic” content is insincere and fake. In a partnership with Reddit to do an “ask me anything” session with Bill Gates, they allege that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation wanted to use the song “Be Our Friend.” Thanks to the company that Gates owns (roll eyes) “our clearance team was able to negotiate the rights, and the video appeared on reddit.com, gatesnotes.com, and the Gates Foundation’s YouTube channel.”
Reminder that in a recent AMA, Bill gates said he would issue digital certificates to verify who is or isn’t ill.
I’m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. AMA about COVID-19.
Over the years I’ve had a chance to study diseases like influenza, Ebola, and now COVID-19—including how epidemics start, how to prevent them, and how to respond to them. The Gates Foundation has committed up to $100 million to help with the COVID-19 response around the world, as well as $5 million to support our home state of Washington.
I’m joined remotely today by Dr. Trevor Mundel, who leads the Gates Foundation’s global health work, and Dr. Niranjan Bose, my chief scientific adviser.
Ask us anything about COVID-19 specifically or epidemics and pandemics more generally.
Gates is partnered with Lyndra Therapeutics (associated with Allergan) to develop a once-monthly contraceptive pill. Allergan, after FDA investigation, recalled their BIOCELL breast implants last year in July citing concerns of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).
The Gates Foundation Trust is also invested in Allergan.
Vodaphone:
Vodaphone is part of the GSMA, which is a mouthpiece for the United Nation’s ridiculous Sustainable Development Goals initiative.
They have claimed to want to help those most in need, but GSMA has spent a significant amount of time propping up micro transaction systems in rural Africa that also require cashless transactions.
Ultimately, these are services that the Gates Foundation Trust is invested in and will eventually profit off of.

Last, but certainly not least, Gates has an advertising campaign for Gilead that compared climbing Mount Everest to treating Hepatitis-C. Moreover, Gilead is the drug company that manufactures Remdesivir, the HIV medication that costs $4,460 per 10-day course and is being touted by Dr. Anthony Fauci as the “standard of care” for Kung Flu. Regardless of the fact that it seems to only shorten the duration of the illness by a couple of days and seemingly doesn’t affect mortality at all.
Have you heard Fauci’s line of reasoning as to why Remdesivir is such a success?
