Clip 1
Trey, born in 1955 to a rich family in Seattle. As in “The Third” perhaps?
Dad was William Henry Gates II, one of the most powerful and politically affluent people in Seattle and in the country. He had connections with the Rockefellers.
His dad, William Henry Gates I, owned a furniture store in Seattle.
Bill Gates mom knew the CEO of IBM because they were board members of major Seattle nonprofits. They’ve been laundering money through philanthropy for generations.
The Gates family can be traced back in the United States to Stephen Gates sailing to Massechoosnuts on the ship “Diligent” from England in 1638 during the Great Puritan Migration. Stephen was from Essex in East Anglia, northeast of London. He received 3 acres and raised his kids there in a properly Protestant way.
William Henry Gates moved his family from Pennsylvania to Seattle sometime at the close of the 19th century. Since that time, there has been a William Henry Gates in Seattle. In a way, the MSFT Bill Gates is really William Henry Gates the Fourth.
Bill Gates did not name his son Bill Gates. He named him Rory.
Same goes for his ex-wife Melinda French. One side of her family goes back to being old German-American bankers, and the other has been in the Louisiana Area for hundreds of years.
Clip 2
Smart guy Bill. Went to Protestant Church, received religious education.
Doesn’t believe in a human soul or that people are particularly special.
Goes to fancy schools, meets Paul Allen in highschool.
Bill is a mathematically gifted guy, but Paul Allen is a computer guy. Bill’s strength really comes from his competitive nature and insatiable drive.
They make a little computer club together, the Lakeside Programmers.
Clip 3
These highschool kids are allowed to bid to IBM to develop an Operating System for their personal computer line. They don’t have one, so they go and buy one called DOS from a company called Seattle Computer Products, re-label it as MS-DOS, then get an unbelievable non-exclusive licensing deal with IBM. IBM almost overnight makes this thing the global standard operating software, and so every other tech company in the world is forced to buy Bill’s software, and he’s actually in the position to license it.
Not only that, but John Opel, CEO of IBM, takes him and Paul Allen under their wing, and teaches them how to run a Fortune 500 company.
By 31 he’s a billionaire.
Not soon after Paul Allen gets diagnosed with cancer, and while he’s on chemo Bill tries to undercut him out of his share of stock and ownership. Says he doesn’t deserve it for taking the sick days.
Clip 4
Melinda Gates’ dad was a rocket scientist who worked with operation paperclip assets. Although she does have german ancestry, her dad was born in ‘39 and the german side has been in the United States for many generations.
Clip 5
His Philanthropy is primarily a way to spend his massive wealth without having to pay taxes on it. It’s a game.
Trevor Moore, ‘The Whitest Kids U' Know' Co-Founder, Dead at 41
Trevor Moore died from an unspecified accident on Friday August 6th.
He was one creator behind “The Whitest Kids You Know”, a hilarious comedy sketch show.
His albums “Drunk Texts to Myself” and “High in Church” were collection of songs that touched toes in the fringe repeatedly.
I’d recommend checking out his song “Kitty History”.
Major bummer.
Offspring drummer says he's been booted from band for not getting vaccinated
“Pete Parada, the drummer for the Offspring, has found out the hard way that some businesses — and even bands — are drawing a hard line on requiring vaccinations to come back to work.” (Kind of a dickish sentence.)
“Beyond being replaced on an upcoming tour, Parada says he's been told not to show up at the studio, either, even though he claims to have a legitimate medical reason for not getting the vaccine.”
“Parada says in his posts that he already had a case of COVID, and thus believes he has the antibodies. But in any case, he contends his lifelong history with Guillain-Barre Syndrome puts him at greater risk for side effects from a vaccination, before adding that he is supportive of anyone who resists getting the vaccine for any number of reasons, from fear of side effects to distrust of the medical and governmental establishment.”
Uh-Oh, Scientists Used Human Genes to Make Monkey Brains Bigger
It’s all fun and gene games till the monkeys run you down on horseback, AK-47’s blasting in the air.
Scientists injected a marmoset monkey fetus wit the human gene ARHGAP11B, and it increased the size in the developing neocortex. See pic above.
The neocortex is the outer part of the brain, being 75 percent of the brain. It gives us our so called “tics”, or traits. Also included is reasoning and language skills.
According to this article, “Not long after our hominid ancestors branched off the evolutionary tree of our current chimpanzee cousins, their brains underwent a rapid expansion, nearly tripling in size over a span of 3 million years. Hominids’ brains grew so fast that they became cramped in the slowly evolving craniums, causing the distinctly human folding of the neocortex into wrinkles.”
They’ve also tested this gene injection in mice and ferrets.
“The scientists call these human-monkey hybrids “transgenic non-human primates,” which may be enough to ring the alarm of any doomsdayer. It certainly raises a lot of ethical questions when doing experiments on primates, let alone when introducing human genes into other animals.”
The monkey’s were removed via C-Section after 100 days of development to prevent any “ethical concerns” from arising. Or preventing Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
The O.G. study: Human-specific ARHGAP11B increases size and folding of primate neocortex in the fetal marmoset
WITCH-TOK
Here's everything you need to know about WitchTok
Just like any other genre, Tik-Tok seems to have amassed a sizable following og the hashtag #Witchtok. It’s origin is from around 2019.
“Popular mystical practices include astrology, tarot card reading, numerology (any relationship between a number and coinciding life events) and manifestation methods. However, WitchTok specifically showcases spells to beginner and experienced witches. This community comes together and helps spread knowledge and advice to one another.”
I’ve heard a good take on witchcraft in the political scene, so it’s no surprise this article name drops #witchesforblm, or #witchesforbiden. My take would be #witchesforproblematic.
Apparently, there was enough of a people interacting in this space some decided they were going to attempt to hex the moon (more on that to follow).
“When tarot card readings pop up on your for-you page, it means that your spirit angels controlled the algorithm and the message is meant specifically for you. This is most meaningful when the reader’s account either has a little following or does not have hashtags or tags in the comments of their video. This is because the video is less likely to come onto your page, so it really is meant for the viewer.”
Aside from featuring tarot readings, there’s videos on how-to manifestations. Money or love seem to be popular ones. Realistically, that’s not much different from any other New-Age shop. In manifestation, it’s about bringing on the intent, so that could cover damn near anything.
“One of the most popular manifestation methods is the 3-6-9 method. This method includes writing down your manifestation three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times at night. This also applies to trying to control other people. If you did want to get that text from your ex, you would write their name three times, write your intentions for that person six times, and write what you want them to say nine times. Many users have raved about the effects of manifesting either an event or a person, but it takes constant practice and belief in the process for the practice to work.”
TikTok Users Claim They Changed Their Lives Using the "3 6 9 Manifestation Method"
“One method says to initiate your manifestation three times in the morning, amplify it six times in the afternoon, and complete it nine times in the evening. That basically means you should write your manifestation down three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times in the evening. Some people skip writing it down and simply focus on the thing they’re trying to manifest throughout the day.”
“Another method is specific to getting someone to contact you. You’re supposed to write the person’s name three times, then write the intentions you have for that person six times, then write what you want them to say to you nine times.”
“Plenty of TikTok users claim they’ve used the 3 6 9 manifestation method successfully to increase their follower count — as well as their bank account balance (of course, there’s not really any way to confirm that). You can also find “manifestation coaches” or “law of attraction coaches” on the video-sharing app if you’re looking for additional manifestation tips. TikTok has everything these days.”
TikTok has become the home of modern witchcraft (yes, really)
“Today’s witches are increasingly congregating on TikTok, the rapidly growing social video platform that was 2019’s third-most downloaded non-gaming app after WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. At the time of writing, TikTok’s #witch hashtag has received over 585 million views, #babywitch – a hashtag for those just getting into the craft – has 45m, and the more platform-specific #witchtok and #witchesoftiktok have over 6m and 84m views respectively.”
“TikTok seems open to interpretation,” says Natasha Slee, social media creative at FREEDA, a media brand championing women around the world. “Yes, it began as a lip-synching concept but, its tools and algorithm encourage creativity and promote variety. There’s less of a quest for perfection in image and appearance, and more for humour and creative editing.”
Witches according to this article seem to find more favor with the TT rather than the IG algo.
“A big part of TikTok’s algorithmic advantage comes from the For You page, or #fyp. It’s the first feed you see when you open the app, and comprises of a collection of recommended videos, personalised to you. But rather than getting trapped in an echo-chamber, as you might with other platforms, TikTok’s For You page works to introduce you to new content creators that embrace new ways of thinking. “The For You page is a very important feature because it doesn’t make us live in a bubble,” Selby explains. “Even though I’m a witch I’m not only showing on other witch’s feeds, like you would on Instagram. It helps you reach people you normally wouldn’t. It’s nice to be on a platform that supports creators, and doesn’t just look at us like advertising opportunities.”
WitchTok, The Viral Trend That Will Save America, With Witchcraft
I’m personally divided on what the implications are. Being what Tik-Tok is, there’s a dark connotation to the type of magick being practiced here. Here’s an article that quotes it in a nutshell, “With the help of another kind of black magic, the algorithm, the number of trending self-proclaimed pagan practitioners has sky-rocketed”.
“Almost every TikTok community has found a way to rally for social justice. The magic community is no different. Not only have they been training people how to make spell jars for protection, but some have even taken drastic steps to seek vengeance for George Floyd. However, some more experienced witches have brought into question the morality of mass-hexing police officers. Nevertheless, the community as a whole has taken a stand in support of BLM. This is not the first time that the denizens of Witchtok have helped us with magic though. There have been several covenants on online witches with the sole purpose of protecting us from the president. Also before the Kavanaugn snuck into the supreme court, witches organized an event to put a hex on him".”
Witches on TikTok are hexing police officers amid BLM protests
Examples of #witchesforblm via TikTok:
The hashtag appears to have started with a video by TikTok user @venxm.exe, in which the practising witch casts a protection spell for protestors rallying against police brutality. In a week, the tag has gained over 10 million views. In one video, user @jes.tkidding suggests a simple hex: write down the names of police officers and use a black candle to burn the paper, and let the candle burn all the way through. Another video for more advanced practitioners demonstrates how to crate protection sigils that spell out: “PROTESTORS ARE PROTECTED FROM POLICE BRUTALITY” and “BLACK LIVES MATTER TODAY AND ALWAYS.” TikTok user @earthytiana also recommended using the power of the full moon to sign petitions, donate to bail funds, and attend protests.
Before TikTok, Witches Traded Their Spells on This Ancient Internet Forum
Interestingly enough, the origin of occultism online shares a similar namespace with podcasting: Pagan And Occult Distribution Network, or PODSnet.
It wasn’t until 1984 that the loose collective of internet nodes were bound together thru FidoNet, a service that connected all these Bulletin Board Systems together.
“Here, a BBS called "Magicknet" flourished, but one problem in particular spurred its users to found their own splinter network: Christian fundamentalists had infiltrated the group to spy on members.”
Satanic panic was really taking on a life of it’s on at the time, with one of the cofounders of PODSnet being lambasted in the tabloids as a witch. Others that were found to be practicing faced other repercussions: “People were losing their jobs, child custody, etc,” McGovern told Motherboard. “People had to move to escape persecution in some areas: very much so in the Bible Belt, but in other places, too. Unless you were in a major metropolitan area, and even then, you ran some degree of risk if you were outed.”
The gathered material on PODSnet was later turned into the “Internet Book of Shadows”: http://www.thedragonscave.org/archives/tdc/PODSnet/PODSnetBookOfShadows/
Novice Witches Hexed The Moon, Upsetting Others On WitchTok
Crazy bastards hexxed the moon. Obviously the must realize that the only option is to blow it up. Fools.
What "Witchtok" Gets Wrong: Most Witchtokers Couldn't Hex a Paper Bag, Let Alone the Moon
WOW. Something tells me this author wouldn’t know dystopia if it was a boot smashing down on their face for all eternity. “In a dystopian, Trumpian world of global pandemics, perpetual quarantine, talks of a new Civil War in America, and lack of justice for police and state brutality, magick can seem like a way to take back some power, to regain some agency.”
This particular author feels that Witchtok is full of Gen Z wanna be witches trolling around for a LARP-ing good time.
“Instead, witchtok is the Fox News of the platform, complete with conspiracy theories, truthiness, and a whole lot of bombastic posturing.”
Here they are actually frustarated with the algo, because the youngins’ play to the algo using trending music in their video.
Legend has it that the idea of hexxing the moon came from the Sabrina Netflix series.
It’s capitalisms fault naturally, that the app is able to congregate so many aesthetic driven witches into the fold.
“This is because witchtok is not a platform conducive to practice. Instead, it plays into woke capitalism (once an account reaches 100k followers, there are sponsorship possibilities), and so there's incentive in generating as much outrage and pearl-clutching as possible. "There's a couple case studies out there on the correlation between economic depression and doomsday cult development...there's a lot of factors going on here. We're in somewhat unprecedented societal upheaval and so the human consciousness eats up the doomsday information," says Coco Johnston, one of the few witchtok accounts I respect.”
ABRACADABRA Why are TikTok ‘baby witches’ trying to ‘hex the moon’ and why is it going viral?
To basically poison the water supply of people that use the Moon’s energies.
Satanists and Witches for Biden
This article goes further into the collaboration found sometimes betwenn the DNC and Satanist. Kind of a meh story but here’s a fun quote: “‘We are going to disrupt, distort, destroy," Jex Blackmore, the former national spokeswoman for the Satanic Temple, declared while surrounded by pig's heads. "We are going to storm press conferences, kidnap an executive, release snakes in the governor’s mansion, execute the president.’”
In 2017, thousands of Wiccans or Witches announced that they were casting a mass spell against President Trump. Michael M. Hughes, who takes credit for the spell, went on to write, "Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change" which includes chapters like “Hex the NRA” and “WITCH: Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell”.
LOL “While it’s easy to dismiss such behaviors as marginal, Hillary Clinton had held a seance in the White House to summon the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt.”
The author also goes on to lump U.F.O. advocates into the same boat, all because Clinton promised disclosure.
Witches wanted to utilize the two Full Moons in Oct 2020 to hex Trump. The aim was to cast a binding spell.
“Taking their efforts online, the witches have been using the hashtags #BindTrump and #MagicResistance to join their forces to create a "Blue Wave" spell on October 31 and on November 2.”
The FeedBag group “Bind Trump” had 61,000 members working towards this.
“Some of the witches even claim that they have already cast successful spells on Trump - which resulted in him catching coronavirus. The mystics used their magical powers to cast the spell during the last full moon - which has left them feeling "especially empowered," according to CBN News.”
