I can’t take these videos seriously, because in the first few minutes alone, there are context problems. For example, the excerpt from the Stephen Colbert/Bill Gates interview is taken way out of context. Here’s the original, full interview on YouTube. The relevant section begins around 2:45.



This is simply Colbert asking Gates to make a prediction. Yes, he predicts bioterrorism, but it’s just that — a prediction. His other point is that the “work” he cites being done for covid-19 will help in future pandemics. To say there will be future pandemics is not evidence of a plot to initiate one. And he certainly wasn’t the only person to realize it wasn’t a matter of if, but when there would be a pandemic. They’ve happened before, and they’ll happen again. That’s the nature of viruses.

Another example is the statement “Prince Charles threatened the world that unless we accept their great reset there will be more and more pandemics” — except he doesn’t say anything about a great reset. Here’s the entirety of what they quote:

”Unless we take the action necessary and we build again in a greener, more sustainable and more inclusive way then we will end up having more and more pandemics and more and more disasters from ever accelerating global warming and climate change.”

That’s not a threat, that’s a prediction. Telling people in California to buy fire extinguishers in order to be prepared for the next wildfire isn’t a threat to start a wildfire.

There’s a fundamental problem with people passing off predictions and warnings as factual evidence of what happens. We can safely and accurately predict right now that the earth will be hit by another extinction-level asteroid at some point in the future. Again, it’s not a matter of if, but when. It has happened several times before, and unless we develop a way to stop it, it will happen again. If tomorrow such an asteroid is discovered, that doesn’t mean I was part of a conspiracy to hurl an asteroid at Earth.

They are snapshots, but if you want a much bigger context then go into the longer history of the people saying these things.

However, I suggest it's better to focus on the predictable outcomes. Hyperinflation, Controlling population behaviour, food supply, energy... then going back to the original policy documents and seeing the correlation. It's creative destruction. Order out of chaos.

Does the world need a reset of some kind? Absolutely. A predatory capitalist free market eats itself. We're at the end of a cycle. However, if you think these chaps want 8 billion people hanging around for the new world they envisage, then I'd dig deeper, and widen the context much further.

But do the snapshots actually appear to be saying the same thing, when they’re enlarged into the full video?

Any time I read about the great reset, it sounds like a form of socialism - or even, communism - about to be imposed by a wealthy elite, for whatever reason, I’m unsure.

But though there are problems with capitalism and it always needs to be controlled, how is any form of socialism, or communism, seen to be an improvement? They’ve been catastrophic everywhere they’ve been tried. So why would any sane politician sign up for this? Surely an unelected elite is doomed to fail in this endeavour?

The "snapshots" can be given greater context by looking at the greater body of work from the various characters, speeches, ideology... even going deeper into family histories and connections.

As for what the WEF are pushing - that's called Stakeholder capitalism. In essence, it's capitalism at the top level (the elites - huge corporations will run everything with a lot of AI - as an example, look at Blackrock and Vanguard with their Aladdin AI as an example) and the rest will fall into what looks like some communist/marxist model. 99% of everything that is currently in the middle (and being systematically wiped out) will drop into the bottom category. We are in that creative destruction phase. You're also seeing the biggest transfer of wealth in modern history.

I've shown you this stuff already over the last couple of years. You won't get much from mainstream media. Go direct to the sources - World Economic Forum, United Nations, Chatham House, Council for Foreign Relations, Rockefeller foundation and other giant NGOs...

In a nutshell, this model ultimately involves you being chipped, surveilled. Superficially, this will be for your "health" - to keep you safe. Your travel, consumption, health, habits and everything about you will be profiled and monitored and fed into an AI grid (partially happening already). Your new "income" includes a base UBI (universal basic income) that works in hand with a social credit system. 5G is not being put in place for you to download cat videos on Youtube more quickly - it's a surveillance grid. The precursor to 6G. Everything is SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. Smart Phones - Smart Cities - Smart Government - Smart Humans (Transhumans).

Here is Uncle Klaus to explain:

I suppose, it all depends on how much credibility we give this stuff. The quotes from Gates seem to be taken out of context. The rest of it is in open record but is it possible, given the structures of governments, that this kind of coup could take place?

I'm just planting seeds for you mate. If they bring in traffic restrictions over the next year, then remember these posts. Gates? Now there is a deep rabbit hole.

Well the thing with Gates is, the quote seems to be taken out of context. Why did they not use a more direct example of a quote from him?

Don’t get me started on traffic restrictions! We have a lunatic Green Party in the coalition government here in Ireland and their nonsense policies are going to wreck this country, and that includes their traffic policies. Can you believe that we spent €3.4m on 3 buses? It gets even worse… :facepalm:

I can't tell you what to think mate. Crack the Covid and WEF rabbit holes and it'll lead you onto a million others. As for Gates... here's a clue - Gates, Sanger, Rockefeller.

There are rabbit holes that have holes that lead out of rabbit holes, as well. I still don’t see why they use a quote by Bill Gates that’s taken out of context, when they surely have some actual quotes in context to explain what he’s doing.

And I’m no admirer of Bill Gates other than he made PCs affordable for loafers like me...

You think your traffic restrictions are bad.. You want to try getting about when you rely on Arriva buses & trains when Arriva & train staff are on strike. (There are no other bus companies which drive buses in my town. I'm having to walk places or arrange time off & home-work while the trains are on strike. Arriva have been on strike for 3 weeks. The train strikes were announced 2 weeks ago. They're only 1 day strikes on alternate days but we've been advised not to travel on the other days as the service is only going to be 20% of the normal service. I had to let work know I couldn't get in on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday this week unless Arriva came back to work because of train strikes *Arriva haven't gone back to work yet. I've got a lot of work to do at home.)

I'm very sorry for interrupting your conversation & for venting.

It’s no interruption at all, and a very fine vent!

and yet, you'll probably both wakeup blaming the "State of the World", and all those rascals like "Putin". Puppets on strings. No offence by the way - everybody figures it out eventually.

I figured out Putin decades ago, brother. Only had to visit the missus homeland to know what Putin is…

What also gets me is how parliament are blaming the train service on all the disruption but not giving some of the blame to Arriva who just don't care about their customers. Arriva's service has been very bad since the 1st lockdown with buses cancelled right, left & centre sometimes buses not turning up for 1 hour in areas where they were supposed to be every 1/4 of an hour, some turning up "Not in service" when 1 hours worth of buses had missed then fares being put up. I know that fuel went up so fares had to be put up but you expect to pay extra for better service not worse. The government were going to get agency staff to force trains to run. Why don't they get agency staff to force buses to run? Buses haven't been running for 3 weeks. That's caused much more disruption than trains not running for a few days.

I'm not blaming any of them, actually. You shouldn't assume what you don't definitely know.

I know that what you're saying is right. I've just got a lot of things to do at home. I've been doing a creative writing class at work as well as an emotional intelligence class at work, reception, musical events work, arts/crafts shop work as well as arts/craft class at work both taking & running. I've had home-work for the classes as well as home-work for work.

I couldn't attend any of the classes at work or work itself since Monday due to these strikes.

Did you figure out your own "leadership" yet?
We have a coalition, brother. Coalition partners don’t have leadership. They have perks and protected jobs, but no leadership. I actually think we should dissolve our failed republic and replace it with something streamlined, something workable, something that isn’t based on outdated civil war parties, and something that culls intellectual nonentities like Leo Varadkar, who makes the vacuous boy prince of Canada look intelligent, which I think we’ll both agree is impossible

No my friend. You're looking upwards instead of downwards. You're looking at "paid for" pawns on the chess plane. Most politicians are owned - hook, line and sinker. An illusion of choice. What did you make of the Epstein files?

I’m not looking upwards, brother, or sideways or downward. I’m looking around. Do you think I believe that Irish politicians control our destiny? If I did, I wouldn’t say we should scrap the republic: I’d say we’re should get better politicians, that’s all. And I know the EU is corrupted and compromised beyond measure.

I haven’t read the Epstein files, so I have no thoughts on them, but if they implicate Bill Clinton in illicit orgies with girls who are victims of sex trafficking, or Trump eating the odd golden shower in a plush Moscow nest, shady characters in the background, I wouldn’t be surprised. But this isn’t a rabbit hole - this is business as usual…
