I’m glad you’re confident that you already have the answers yourself—and I don’t begrudge those who are actually doing the major funding looking to make assessments and draw conclusions themselves.

Turner, Soros and Gates have all given massive amounts of money worldwide for ABORTIONS.

They are not heroes.

Their answers to the world’s problems are the wrong answers.

Where do you possibly get the idea that they want a 90% reduction in population? That they want forced solutions? These are people who donate billions and billions, often for third-world aid, and you don’t think they should bother to try to think any of it through themselves? They should blindly depend on NGO ‘experts’? I think your paranoia may have got the better of you.

How about check this out. Think I made up the 90% reduction? These guys want to use viruses to kill people. Said at the Texas Academy of Science.

Remember those billionaires whom you adore met in secret. Sure it was for everyone's benefit.

I think your naivatee has got the better of you. These people who donate billions and billions dollars care for you?

Don't make me laugh.

The TAS has clarified that his off-the-record comments were about what may happen through disease, not his wish or hope or aim. And, what was reported so sensationally on that whackadoodle site was reported by an ‘amateur scientist and journalist’. Please! I’m no fan of Microsoft practices or products, but Bill Gates (and Warren Buffet) have donated billions and billions and billions of dollars to provide health care for the poorest of poor in developing countries. To somehow link some misrepresented talk by one scientist to their deviously wishing death on most of the planet is really out there.

I see that you are raising seven kids (and a menagerie of animals) and I applaud you for that. I’m from a large family raised on a farm myself. And I don’t doubt that there are some shallow thinkers who callously see a threat and dismiss it as solvable by whatever population control. But on a planet of 7 billion or whatever, they are in the extreme minority, and I don’t think you should see threat and attribute evil where it likely doesn’t reside.
