No one seems to ask these Jack wads about the hundreds of millions of buffalo that used to Rome the plains. more infact than current #of cattel. Or if you believe the claimant change bs that grain caused the cows to fart more and grass feed eliminates a lot I'd the cow farts.

Its money power and control and the brain dead masses gobble it up.

Bill Gates should stick to what he was good at. Being an IT business genuis and getting very rich doesn't make him knowledgable about anything other than IT business, regardless of what his ego tells him.

Yes. That's how you can tell these nutbags actually believe a little of what they say. Pear shaped wrinkly old looking soy body. Not only does all processed garbage at the grocery store destroy your body/mind it also enriches mega corporations that hate you.

Beef/pork/eggs (bought locally or raised yourself) + sunlight + strength trailing = superhuman.

It's another power grab. carbon taxes on live stock. Put the rest of family farms out of business. Make the population more easy to control by

* Control the food supply
* make population more sickly from poor diet & lack of exercise (sick are easy to control)
* drive people to the next new pill and shot to make them better

. How many years are we away from people only thinking they can survive on aproved government/corporate rations?

Not hard to see parallels to Revelations if you look.

It is a proven scientific fact that vegetarians have a lower fertility rate than meat eaters.
I'm all for less vegetarians.
But I suppose this all fits into Bill Gates agenda of population control, he has been working on that agenda from several angles.

Ive said for 20 years government subsidies will come back to haunt agriculture. Are food supply is getting more controlled by the government every day. They are throwing money at agriculture by the truck loads through all kinds of programs and they have bigger reasons for it than we understand. But I think the threshold has been crossed, it's time to ride it out.

What's funny about that is most people that are afraid of GMO crops would try lab grown meat. People are afraid of hormones in beef but estrogen is the hormone used and lettuce has about 20 times higher amounts of it than beef when it's used. People worry about trace amounts of antibiotics in there food but won't hesitate to get a dose shot into themselves at the slightest sniffle or slightest fever. And don't even get me started on an experimental vaccine that isn't even a vaccine...

Like all things "climate change". There are bigger producers of cow farts than the good old U.S. We have 94.4 mil cows in the U.S. India has 192.5 mil. So Bill use your money to cut the India herd in half, it would offset the whole U.S. herd. When you get that done you can work on Chinese coal fired electric plants.

I saw a talk he gave in 2005 I believe it was to the CIA. He was saying that scientists had found an anomaly in the brain of what he referred to as religious fanatics. He said they could be improved in their way of thinking with some kind of injection that would neutralize that portion of their brain. He seemed to be impressing the CIA in attendance that he was a crackpot.

I dont hear much but occasionally Heidi will text me a big vent about what he has been up to and it never sounds good. I figure it is harmless. Her new man is sick of hearin it and she gets so riled up she is ready to burst. She don't do it very often but when she does she refuses to keep that lil runts secrets I assure ya.

I stopped to see Crowthers BIL and past flank man. He and I used to work with Rosin's dad and we both agreed that apple might not have fallen far from the tree but it has rolled down hill a long ways ever since.

Oh yeah not to mention these guys got rich at the cost of the environment in the first place and have had a lifetime to change the system.
The amount of electricity and water used to process soy is phenomenal, but the other option is feed lot cattle standing knee deep in turd soup, riddled with face cancers and tumours from GM grain? They've never had it so wrong. Yup - from the frying pan into the fire.

It seems there is a lot of misinformation and outright lies believed about Mr. Gates. If you think he is such a...snob, idiot, pencil necked geek, etc...you should learn more about his foundation and what they are doing. He’s being very generous with his wealth and helping people who are not on anyone else’s radar. Gripe about him all you want but he’s doing more to make this world a better place than all his naysayers combined. Also, look up how much money he plans on leaving his children. Considering what he could do his current plan calls for leaving them peanuts. Big peanuts but peanuts nonetheless.

Just from a lehman's perspective, I think I agree for the most part. I'm sure I wouldn't agree with all he does and surely he wouldn't agree with all I do.......but he's definitely very responsible and philanthropic with his earned money. He is kind of setting the standard for a capitalistic society by using his private money to help society rather than squandering it.

There is a whole world of conspiracies out there about Gates. Almost all of it untrue or statements taken out of context.

In the particular video you cited, I happen to agree with him that it would be a good thing to reduce the overall population of the planet. Do you think that's a bad thing ?

You and I probably disagree with Gates on the issue of CO2 and eating beef. But regardless of that, a smaller population would be a good thing IMO.

Here is the text version of what he is saying in the video.

“The world today has 6.8 billion people,” Mr Gates said in the talk. “That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now if we do a great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 per cent.”



Being that this is ten years ago the numbers have changed but he is talking about the RATE of increase in worldwide population and saying that by improving healthcare, and reducing infant mortality, the rate of population growth will decline because people will have smaller families. He isn't saying that we should be killing people with vaccinations.


That is born out by historical fact in Western civilization. As healthcare improved and infant mortality declined in the West, farmers had fewer kids because more kids lived to help on the farm. Also inheritance laws in the west made it advantageous to have fewer children. Greater family wealth and fewer heirs made it possible to give kids a better start in life because family wealth was not diluted among 9 kids.

As far as polio in Afica is concerned.here's some info.

"the UN confirmed that more than a dozen cases of vaccine-derived polio had sprung up in nine states across Sudan.

The outbreak added further fuel to the already prolific spread of conspiracy theories pushing false claims about vaccination on social media.

'Gates-funded vaccine'

Conspiracy theory groups promptly reported the outbreak in articles decrying "one of the biggest public health scandals of the decade", singling out the WHO and billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates in their attacks.

A misleading article blaming a "Gates-funded vaccine" for "causing" the outbreak has been shared more than 8,000 times in Facebook groups from the US and Canada to Colombia.

The claims have also been circulating in Europe, with a French version of the article shared in various groups in France and Belgium.

But the article fails to mention that the cases involved people who had not been immunised themselves."

Re: Bill Gates - Don't eat beef - 02/18/21 07:47 PM

I always felt pretty neutral about Bill Gates until I watched him lecturing members of the CIA in 2005. He went on to say that right wing religious fanatics had an anomaly in their brains that needed to be neutralized by some drug to make them normal human beings. He had CT scans of brains with an area colored in. Supposedly, these were these imperfections that needed to be eliminated according to him. Some of the members in attendance started laughing. But, Gates told them he was serious. Not sure what his intentions were. He seemed perturbed that they didn't seem to be taking him seriously.

Uhh. You’re a little bit off, about double, the number of buffs in NORTH AMERICA pre European settlements
I was taught in the sixties was 30-60 million. Just did a quick search and that is what the first site said today
Then I did another search about # of beef cattle in North America = 106 million so 30+60/2= 45, 106/45 = 2.36 times as many cattle in N.A. today vs bison pre Europe settlement I don’t know if dairy cows were figured in the # 106.for beef, probably not so that further skews the comparison.

I often don’t agree with what the uber rich say or want to do. The current thread is one of those times, If I want to eat beef 365 days a year and can afford it, I will. If he wants to eat bean curds I say get after em.

But I don’t ever, ever, ever make the mistake of thinking any of these people are stupid.

The fortunes they control enable them to employ researchers to STUDY any subjects about anything imaginable
then regurgitate the condensed and digested Data on demand. I’m sure it’s like having a search engine in your head times 100.

wink Beneficial. Vague, but then you kinda knew that. 10-4.
An issue would be everyone has their individual vision of how things would be "beneficial."

Re: Bill Gates - Don't eat beef - 02/18/21 08:41 PM

I think anyone but a sociopath would agree that it is probably beneficial to have a wider distribution of resources. A smaller population would address that to a degree.

An example, IMO would be the uneven ( not unequal) distribution of fresh water around the world. Just improving availability in that instance would be beneficial to society in general IMO. Again,a smaller population moves in that direction.

I don't think 'unity' should be a goal but it might be helpful as a tool is SOME instances

It's easy to say that anyone who doesn't want children to die of preventable diseases is a "good" person... Only a sociopath would disagree.

And I'm sure most people will agree that less people on the planet would be beneficial.

Why would an intelligent person make such crazy allegations unless he was a crackpot that should be in a strait jacket? He usually comes across as a fairly normal person otherwise. As I said, I always felt pretty neutral about the man in the past.

Well a lot of people look alike. In the movies they even have 'doubles' that do some of the stunts.But the guy in the video doesn't look anything like Gates to me. He is probably 20 years younger than Gates.

The HD version of the video is from an outfit called Funvax. They were making an anti-vax propaganda film several years ago and trying to get it "crowd funded"..... Fund + VAX somehow equals FUNVAX. It is thought ( we don't know) that this whole video is faked in order to facilitate that funding effort. Maybe , maybe not. But it sure isn't Gates

The world's population grows while we sleep, imperceptibly maybe, but it grows. The climate change argument is probably the useful vehicle the left (predominately) uses as a means to curtail it. Sooner or later there aren't going to be too many places on the planet that aren't paved. In that they're correct.

God told us to be fruitful and multiply, to subdue the earth and have dominion over everything that walks, swims or flies. I'm not aware of any limits placed on us as to when it's time to quit.

Part of operating with insight to others is considering carefully what they express so as to understand them properly. Words typed can be hard to get the meaning, as some phrases can be taken in different directions in meaning. The written word lacks face to face depth of sound, sight, touch.

Hence , white's patient explaining of what he meant. He phrased his thoughts correctly to begin with.

It is just if they are read too fast without considering his exact wording, the negative impression can easily happen.

He already explained what he meant . As in smarter planning .

Not "you first". Which will never happen.

The Chinese model for population control comes to mind. It seems to me there's a constant struggle to push ones ideas on the population. I think what we're witnessing in this country today is the effort to silence an opposing point of view. I can see where that could easily lead to some dictatorial power telling us all exactly what we can do, up to and including breeding rights.

From what I’ve seen of him, his answer to lowering the worldwide population would be to educate more people (especially girls and women), create a way for them to live in sanitary conditions and reduce the obstacles for people to participate in their society. All of these things are shown to reduce fecundity rates. I have never seen from a reputable source that he would condone mass sterilization, limits on children, etc. Tackle the problem at the source: make it so people don’t feel compelled to have lots of children.

Christians have been lambasted and ridiculed for their views on the stewardship of the planet. As an aside, my brother-in-law was a commercial fisherman off the Maine coast. Once he and his fellow fisherman raped and pillaged the ocean floors here they set their sights on Alaskan waters. A lot of guys from here went there to do the same thing.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for less people to have to deal with. But when the words "population control" are uttered from the mouths of people in positions of power and influence, us little folk get nervous. And with history to look back on, rightfully so.

But the other issue is that we look at the world right now and decide there's too many of us... We need to rein in the biological imperative to make little copies of ourselves. But that biological imperative exists for a reason. Things are relatively calm right now. But that may not be the case tomorrow afternoon... We may be the bullseye for an errant asteroid... Or the Yellowstone caldera might decide that tomorrow is the day.

Because we can sit here and manipulate pieces of plastic and silicon and argue across vast distances we think we have it all figured out. We don't. We're a cosmic hiccup away from competing with primordial ooze. If the worst happens we will want all the diverse genetic material we can scrounge up.

If you believe in God then you know that at a certain point the scales will be balanced.

If you hold to natural selection then you know that at a certain point the scales will be balanced.

It makes sense to not breed more than we can feed. But when whatever universal force punches our ticket we'll need numbers on our side.
