Opening up the Egocentric Flood Gates
The second hole at the Anaconda Country Club in Opportunity, Montana, just 6 miles east-south-east of Anaconda, Montana is a par 3 that measures, depending on tee placement, from 155 to 170 yards. To hit the small green, sloping from back to front, a high ball flight, over Mill Creek, is the most effective approach. I did this one day to near perfection. The golf ball took one short hop and landed 6 inches to the immediate left of the pin and stopped. All of the other players were short of the green, one quite some distance away. To allow others to hit on and not disturb my ball, I ran and marked it on the green and headed towards the rough at the back of the green. I was looking down at the ball for any foreign markings when all of a sudden I saw a flash of intense light and fell to my knees. One of the other players had hit his ball thin and it came rocketing out low and hit me in the upper forehead. A good-sized welt developed immediately, however, as all golfers should not do, I finished the round.
I bring up this piece of useless and unnecessary personal history because it was the first thing I thought of when I noticed a similar lump on Bill Gates’ forehead in the linked video presented inside the Rubin Report. I suspect this lump may have arrived as a result of turbulence on a flight in Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane the “Lolita Express” or it was another Tiger-like nine-iron incident when his now ex-wife found out.
I loathe elitism, especially from people like Bill Gates who cannot as the contemporary expression goes, “stay in his own lane”. It would seem that money, and lots of it, allegedly makes some people more intelligent, perceptive, and knowledgeable in the disciplines, views, and issues outside of their usual pursuits or profession. As chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, any of Gates’ character flaws were hidden and held in check by his need to operate a competitively aggressive business and serve customers, but as a moneyed philanthropist, he is going about doing as he pleases with no actual concern for the public.
Gates reminds me of activist actors and actresses. Many of those pretentious celebrities infringe on the daily lives and livelihoods of the citizenry with their incessant progressive views, environmental protests, and duplicitous green commentary. This, it seems, is merely virtue signaling in the absence of a script, giving the narcissistic actor or actress some semblance of self-importance away from a red carpet, hollow vegan fare, and limousine service while pretending to escape the paparazzi.
Cringe comedian Ricky Gervais, the host of the Golden Globes in 2020 said it best, "If you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg”.
Gates is a self-styled, self-promoting egotist who believes he has the acumen and competency to cure the world of its illnesses like Covid and climate change. In the coronavirus issue, Gates’ philanthropy monies funded the trials of the vaccines in South Africa. In case of mass failure, did Gates presume that these people were more disposable or expendable than others?
In collaboration with Gates, Harvard University scientists were contemplating a sun-dimming system that would mute a certain amount of sunlight from reaching the earth. Known as the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, these scientists were going to place small particles of calcium carbonate using a steerable balloon into the atmosphere. It was planned that, in time, the chemical would be introduced into the full atmosphere, dimming sunlight worldwide. Thankfully this foolishness never materialized.
In speaking of energy to the World Economic Forum as well as the Economic Club of Washington, Gates declared that renewable energies can never supply the necessary electrical requirements to the world, yet he still continues to assert them as the only responsible answer. He declares Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) ratings as the only sensible method of investing for all, except it has ruined several countries, and companies and makes everything unrealistically expensive for the poor. I have written about ESG here and here for example.
It is being reported that Gates is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States. While his quarter-million acres pales significantly in comparison to John Malone’s 2.2 million acres or Ted Turner’s 2.0 million acres, the classification “farmland” must be the key distinction. Malone’s business is cattle while Turner raises buffalo. However, as a farmland owner, Gates claims his objective is to produce plants that are converted to imitation meat, thereby saving the world from the methane produced by animal flatulence. Naturally, as well as the purchase of farmland he is also heavily invested in imitation meat companies. It has been further reported that Gates has come up with the idea of putting the Covid vaccine mRNA into the food supply.
My advice to the likes of Bill Gates who endeavor to run the world without being voted in, “I wish for you the wisdom to mind your own business.”
