Natalieâs Commentary:
Earlier this month, renowned mRNA tech developer Dr. Robert Malone sat downwith Daily Wire host Candace Owens to discuss, among other things, the âmass formation psychosisâ theory of COVID-19.
In a particularly illuminating exchange, Malone examined Microsoft co-founder Bill Gatesâ role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Malone did not have kind words for the tech billionaire and suggested that Gates was not the brains behind Microsoftâs coding, but rather a cutthroat businessman who parlayed his domination of the computing industry into domination of the global health industry.
âBill Gates was not a coder. He was not a software engineer. Thatâs not his gift,â Malone said, claiming that Gates âbuilt Microsoft on the bones of IBM and everybody else.â Malone went on to suggest that, rather than creating and maintaining a superior product through constant innovation, Gates cornered the computing market with anti-competitive practices because he âis a monopolistâŚ.an excellent monopolist.â
After facing harsh anti-trust penalties for Microsoftâs anti-competitive practices in the late nineties, Gates set up his eponymous foundation and began funneling billions into so-called charitable initiatives. The re-branding effort was effective and over the past 25 years, Gates became an unlikely expert in everything from viruses to vaccines â despite having no background in medicine. Indeed, Gates now dominates the global health industrial complex because, according to Malone, a âtiger canât change his stripes.â
But even before Gates became a global health expert, before he built his foundation to rehabilitate his image, and even before the Department of Justice penalized his company for anti-competitive practices, Gates engaged with Americaâs number one adversary.
GATES SAID CCP CENSORSHIP WAS NOT POSSIBLE BUT MICROSOFT HELPED CCP DO IT
As my colleague Peter Schweizer details in his new book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, Gates has âalways underestimated the repressive natureâ of the CCP due to his âtechno-optimism.â By 1995, Gates was downplaying the CCPâs effort to censor the then-fledgling internet â efforts he deemed were doomed to fail unless the repressive regime planned to have soldiers looming over the shouldersof every internet user. China disagreed and began ramping up censorship efforts shortly after Gates claimed it was not possible.
Shockingly, at the same time Microsoft was helping the CCP ban journalists, Bill Gates was still repeating the lie that censorship was not possible. At a lecture to Stanford students in 2008, Gates told students that he did not see âany risk in the world at large that someone will restrict free content flow on the internet.â Gates was emphatic: âYou cannot control the internet.â No one accuses Bill Gates of being dumb so what was his reasoning for such an absurd statement?
In addition to his own companyâs facilitation of CCP censorship, Gates pushed for Google to capitulate to the Beijing anti-free speech regime. In 2010, when news that Google was fighting against Chinaâs restrictions on search results â Gates sided with the CCP, prompting the Chinese embassy to put out a statement emphasizing that âBill Gates bats for China.â
Just last year, Microsoft was accused of censoring information about the Tiananmen Square massacre on its Bing search engine â not just in China, but also in the United States. Microsoft claimed this was due to âaccidental human error.â
Outsourcing American Jobs and partnering with Chinese Military on AI
Gatesâ CCP appeasement did not end with his work reinforcing the Great Firewall, however. He also helped offshore American jobs to China. Microsoft, like so many other tech companies in the late 1990âs and early 2000âs, sent hundreds of high paying jobs to China. When the government in Beijing criticized Gates for not outsourcing more American jobs, Microsoft promised to redouble its efforts.
As if helping a repressive regime stifle dissent and outsourcing American tech jobs to China were not enough, Gates also helped China gain a competitive edge in an industry with serious military implications: artificial intelligence (AI). In 2019, Microsoft partnered with a Chinese military-backed university to work on AI research.
Less than five years ago, Microsoft personnel worked with Chinaâs National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) to produce three research papers on AI. The CCPâs Central Military Commission oversees NUDT projects and thus Microsoft benefits from âlong-running links to Chinese military-funded academia,â including partnerships with various âTech Clubsâ at multiple Chinese military-linked universities. To this day, Chinese military researchers likewise benefit from Microsoftâs AI intellectual property.
More shocking than that, Microsoft actually hired Peopleâs Liberation Army (PLA) recruits as interns at one of its research centers in Asia.
Gatesâ company did other favors for the Chinese military as well. Microsoft allowed Chinese government officers to access the companyâs Skype servers to monitor the videoconferences and messages of civilians.
Essentially, if civilians were critical of the communist regime or planning to organize a protest on Skype, Microsoft allowed government âthought policeâ to monitor (and ostensibly interdict) this activity â an obvious human rights violation. When questioned about this egregious activity, Microsoftâs Skype issued a throwaway statement: âSkypeâs mission is to break down barriers to communications and enable conversations worldwide.â
It gets worse. In 2015, Microsoft expanded its ties with the Chinese military when it announced it would be working with the CCPâs state-owned military connected conglomerate, China Electronics Technology Group (CETC). Microsoft won a huge payday through the partnership with CETC to provideâoperating system technology and services for Chinese users in specialized fields in government institutions and critical infrastructure state-owned enterprises.â
CETC was the beating heart of the CCPâs digital military industrial complex. CETCâs labs, in Schweizerâs words, âdesigned the electronic guts for Chinaâs first nuclear bomb, as well as its guided missiles and satellites.â Computer World and other western press outlets were critical of Microsoftâs move to partner with CETC given the âvery blurred linesâ between the civilian and military missions of CETC and the fact that the company supplied âthe Peopleâs Liberation Army (PLA) and government agencies and state-run companies with technology products.â
The Microsoft-CETC deal was shady from the start. In order for the CCPâs military electronics conglomerate to adopt the Microsoft platform, the latter had to make changes to its operating system (which Microsoft has admitted doing). But Microsoft has thus far refused to publicize what those âchangesâ were.
Microsoft was not the only Gates company working to advance the CCPâs military capabilities. While Microsoft helped the Chinese communist regimeâs digital capabilities, a company that Gates launched in 2008 called TerraPower helped advance the CCPâs nuclearcapabilities.
TerraPower was a ânext-generationâ nuclear reactor company that ostensibly was only working civilian nuclear power technology. Gatesâ wanted TerraPower to become a major nuclear reactor company in China generating power for civilian use. But in 2011, TerraPower began a partnership with yet another military-linked company: Chinaâs state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).
The American Nuclear Threat Initiative blasted CNNC for being âinvolved in the development of Chinaâs nuclear energy program, both civilian and military.â Indeed, the State Department has repeatedly warned that the CCP leverages âits large, rapidly-growing, state-sponsored nuclear industry as a strategic tool with which to augment Chinaâs âcomprehensive national powerââboth through development in the civilian sector and in support of a military buildup.â
Gates either did not know or did not care that his efforts might help the Chinese military gain a nuclear advantage over the U.S. His partnership CNNC came to a screeching halt during the Trump administration when âpolicy changesâ made TerraPowerâs relationship with CNNC untenable. The Pentagon releaseda list of 20 companies tied to the CCPâs Peopleâs Liberation Army and CNNCâs inclusion on that list forced Gates to cut ties.
But Gates was undeterred. âThe TerraPower thing, that was a setback,â Gates told Chinese state-run media, âbut there are ways to come back and engage China in a fairly deep way later in the project.â
In addition to Gatesâ collaberation with the communist regimeâs military on digital and nuclear projects, he promoted a Chinese technology company tied to the PLA. The company, Build Your Dreams (BYD), has an innocuous name but nefarious connections. The BYD, according to an Alliance for American Manufacturing study, gives the Chinese military an alarming level of access to its technology and research data.
For example, BYD boasted of its âstrategic cooperationâ with the China Academy of Launch Vehicle technology (CALVT) in 2018. CALVT is state owned and has the âlargest research and production base of missile weapons and launch vehicles in China.â Shockingly (but not surprisingly), BYDâs founder and CEO moonlights as a Chinese Communist Party official. These facts alone should have been enough for Bill Gates and his close friend Warren Buffet to avoid hyping the project.
Gates Gushes over Chinese Communist Party Leadership
Gates has long been close with CCP leadership. In 2006, when the CCPâs then-Chairman Hu Jintao (Xi Jinpingâs predecessor) came to the U.S. for an official visit with President Bush, he first met with Bill Gates at his Seattle estate. ABC News recognized the Chinese leaderâs priority and ran a headline: âChinese President Meets Bill Gates First.â
More recently, Bill Gates has been complimentary of current CCP Chairman Xi Jinping. âThe area of science, where China is now leading a lot of ways and willing to invest,â Gates said, before boasting to a Chinese state-run media outlet, âthatâs been something I discussed with President Xi.â Gates was star-struck by the dictator and could not help but mention âimpressed [he was] of how hard President Xi works.â Gates gushed on: âNow [President Xi] is involved in the committee that are looking at this problem and that problem. Heâs quite amazing that heâs able to contribute in a number of ways.â
What does all this mean? Schweizer summed it up nicely: It means that one of the richest men in the world was praising the leadership of a man who runs prison camps.
To this day, Bill Gates advises the Chinese communist regime through his âlifelongâ membership at the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). The CAE is controlledby Beijingâs top political body: the Chinese State Council (CSC). The CSC has an innocent sounding name but it is at the center of the CCPâs power structureâparticularly the CCPâs military industrial complex. As a foreigner, Gatesâ induction to the CAE required âstrict political clearance.â
When Dr. Robert Malone told the Daily Wireâs Candace Owens that Gates âhas systematically monopolized the global health responseâ to the Wuhan coronavirus, he was right to be concerned. The deep ties that Gates has to the communist regime where the Wuhan coronavirus originated (the most devastating global disaster in modern history) are even more alarming than his monopolist proclivities. Gatespattern of praise and long history of partnership with Americaâs top adversary should disqualify him from any role â monopolist or otherwise â in the global health response to the Wuhan coronavirus.
More information on Gatesâ budding relationship with the Chinese Communist Party can be found in the #1 New York Times bestseller Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, where my colleague, investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, has revealed the shocking extent to which Gates has sold out the United States.
