Bill Gates has been warning about the risk of a global pandemic for years. And since the novel coronavirus slammed the US, he's been advocating a "super painful" 10-week national shutdown that has earned him plenty of criticism for being an out-of-touch billionaire (just like when he suggested that the biggest contributor to poverty in Africa was too many poor Africans being born)
And yesterday, Gates opened himself to critics once again by publishing an op-ed in the Washington Post where he obliquely criticized the Trump Administration's approach to combating the virus, and suggested an alternative that sounded like something that might be possible in the world from The Jetsons.
Of course, Gates' guide to how the US can "catch up" in its battle against the coronavirus includes some more practical tips, too, like recommending a mandatory national shutdown that the Trump Administration has specifically said it is opposed to doing (Florida only finally closed the last of the state's beaches when Gov. DeSantis caved to critics and issued a sweeping lockdown order yesterday). Still, several states have only "recommended" that people WFH and avoid public places...if and when possible.
The full op-ed is below. We'll let readers be the judge.
This is a recipe for disaster. Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus. The country’s leaders need to be clear: Shutdown anywhere means shutdown everywhere. Until the case numbers start to go down across America - which could take 10 weeks or more - no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown. Any confusion about this point will only extend the economic pain, raise the odds that the virus will return, and cause more deaths.
Finally, we need a data-based approach to developing treatments and a vaccine. Scientists are working full speed on both; in the meantime, leaders can help by not stoking rumors or panic buying. Long before the drug hydroxychloroquine was approved as an emergency treatment for covid-19, people started hoarding it, making it hard to find for lupus patients who need it to survive.
To bring the disease to an end, we’ll need a safe and effective vaccine. If we do everything right, we could have one in less than 18 months - about the fastest a vaccine has ever been developed. But creating a vaccine is only half the battle. To protect Americans and people around the world, we’ll need to manufacture billions of doses. (Without a vaccine, developing countries are at even greater risk than wealthy ones, because it’s even harder for them to do physical distancing and shutdowns.)
We can start now by building the facilities where these vaccines will be made. Because many of the top candidates are made using unique equipment, we’ll have to build facilities for each of them, knowing that some won’t get used. Private companies can’t take that kind of risk, but the federal government can. It’s a great sign that the administration made deals this week with at least two companies to prepare for vaccine manufacturing. I hope more deals will follow.
There is a clear, concerted effort on an international scale to provide a new, device-free, form of digital ID, starting with the displaced and impoverished areas as a pilot and will soon move to be scaled internationally.
Revelation 13:6-7 KJV – “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark or the number of his name.”
What would it take to mark and number every man, woman and child on the face of the earth that without this mark, you cannot buy and sell? We can conclude that we would need a one-world form of government, a new universal way of identifying every human being on the earth and a global economic system with a digital currency that is both cashless and deviceless.
For the first time in human history, technology and global willpower have made the factors of Revelation 13:6-7 feasible.
ID2020 Summit & Mission
Last September 2019, an annual summit was hosted by the ID2020 alliance, composed of significant partners from around the world. Microsoft, GAVI (Global Alliance of Vaccines and Immunizations), The Rockefeller Foundation, and a growing number of partners from international governments, universities, and humanitarian relief programs. The entire summit was sponsored by the UN Office of Information Communications Technology, the UN Refugee Agency, the International Telecommunication Union and the Danish Mission to the UN.
The mission of the ID2020 alliance is “Accelerating technology to ensure that everyone in need has access to a unique digital identity as part of their basic human right.”
In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, which stressed its commitment to “provide legal identity for all, including birth registration” by 2030.
Providing legal identity for all is no small feat with their estimation of 1.1 billion people living without identity, ID2020 is rolling out plans at an aggressively rapid pace, and their goals go beyond providing an official birth certificate to people in impoverished countries. They plan to provide a digital ID for everyone on an international scale.
According to their official site, “A unique convergence of trends provides an unprecedented opportunity to make a coordinated, concerted push to provide digital ID to everyone,”
When you read further, these ‘trends’ include rising global connectivity, emerging technologies such as blockchain and biometrics and a global call for a “New model of ID.”
Up until now, an international digital identification system would have been unheard of with the amount of economically and technologically undeveloped corners of the world. With an equal drive to get everyone vaccinated, GAVI (Global Alliance of Vaccines and Immunizations) and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation play a pivotal role in the ID2020 alliance’s mission.
During the 2019 summit, ID2020 announced it’s latest program “Recognizing the opportunity for immunization to serve as a platform for digital identity, this program leverages existing vaccination and birth registration operations to offer newborns a persistent and portable biometrically-linked digital identity.”
With an estimated 89% of children without identification supported by GAVI, these areas are the perfect targets to test the so-called “New model of ID.”
“Thousands of children between the ages of one and five are due to be fingerprinted in Bangladesh and Tanzania in the largest biometric scheme of its kind ever attempted by the Geneva-based vaccine agency,” Gavi, announced recently.
Coming out of Rice University, there is new technology labelled the “Quantum dot” tattoo. This tag consists of tiny microneedles that deliver a vaccine, dissolves the sugar-based needles and leaves behind a mark or barcode-like tattoo. This mark leaves a record of the vaccine that had been received through an infrared-like dye pattern that can be read by a customized smartphone.
It is interesting to note that this Quantum dot technology was requested by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to solve the issue of not knowing the vaccination record of each patient in these impoverished areas.
In light of Revelation 13, it is unsettling to note the link between the injection of children in these areas and the experimental “largest biometric scheme of its kind,” to advance a “persistent and portable biometrically-linked digital identity.”
ID2020 has acquired strategic partnerships with organizations whose primary functions are digital financial services and applying solutions for a completely digital user-friendly wallet. Everest, an organization that began working with the Indonesian government in 2018 and recently announced at the 2019 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as ID2020’s first ‘Certification Mark for digital identity solutions,’ Kiva Protocol and Gravity.Earth.
Everest, claims to be “The world’s first and only device-free globally accessible, digital transaction protocol with built-in identity.”
Everest defines itself as a “decentralized platform incorporating a massively scalable payment solution, Everchain, with a multi-currency wallet, EverWallet, and a native biometric identity system, EverID. Everest delivers a complete solution for a ‘new economy.'” They are the first platform that combines Biometric identity with a digital wallet.
The Mark of the Beast is not in effect yet, but the evidence shows that the building blocks are being positioned.
Though these programs spearheaded by ID2020 are masquerading as humanitarian projects intended for the greater good of humanity, they are, in actuality, creating a gateway to make the one-world, cashless society a reality in the Tribulation period.

There's only ONE reason for the mark ; to help thieves be better thieves.
Good point
