Bill Gates Foundation’s COVID-19 Vaccine is a Satanic Plot says Oscar-Winner

Microsoft’s recent patent for a human powered crypto mining system based on sensors that convert physical or mental activity into computer power has generated a lot of interest and captured the imagination of the public, but perhaps some are looking at it a little too closely.

Nikita Mikhalkov, the Oscar-winning Russian director, recently unleashed his own conspiracy after taking a closer look at the patent number for Microsoft’s crypto mining system – WO/2020/060606. Appearing on an episode of ‘Besogan TV’, Mikhalkov was adamant that the patent is the first step in a satanic plan to microchip the entire global population and it was clear to him by the appearance of the devil’s number “666” in the patent application.

On the program, Mikhalkov was quoted, “The 060606 part is somewhat alarming. You probably understand this, right? Is this a coincidence or an intentional selection of such a symbol, which in the Apocalypse of John is called the ‘number of the beast’ – the 666.”

Mikhalov’s Revelation

Bill Gates and his foundation have been popping up regularly in the media since the coronavirus pandemic began, determined to help the world by developing and distributing a vaccine to the global population.

In a blog post on April 30, Bill Gates wrote, “We need to manufacture at least 7 billion doses of the vaccine.” He said the vaccines should be distributed “as soon as the first batch is ready to go.”

While Gates has been commended by most for his proactive efforts, Mikahlkov has claimed that the coming COVID-19 vaccination distributed by the Bill Gates Foundation will be a trojan horse for a microchip in an insidious scheme to enslave the world.

The Academy award winning director has even named Herman Graf, the Head of Russian bank Sberbank, as a co-conspirator.

While Mikhalkov’s conspiracy seems outlandish, it is convincing enough for former Tennis champion and now Russian politician Marat Safin who has shown support for the director’s theory.

It is unclear what part Mikhalkov believes the sensor-based cryptocurrency mining system developed by Microsoft will play in the satanic conspiracy beyond its curious filing number, as the project makes no mention of microchips. The patent was also published in the United States under the far less sinister number – US20200097951.

Bill Gates Predicts Coronavirus Five Years Ago

As the conspiracy goes viral, many have also highlighted a video of Bill Gates giving a Ted talk entitled, “The next outbreak? We’re not ready.” In the presentation from nearly five years ago, Bill Gates predicts the upcoming pandemic and warned that it would push our civilization to the brink.

A prophecy revealed by Lucifer himself perhaps, or just one of the greatest minds focused on predicting solutions to world problems that haven’t occured yet? He kind of has a history of doing that.

The episode of Besogan TV featuring the Russian director was initially removed from the local Russian TV channel’s schedule. The episode was later posted online following protests of censorship by Mikhalkov, and the video went on to achieve close to a million views in one day.

Bill Gates Planned COVID-19 Pandemic via Deep-state 'Circular Cabal', says Disgraced Dr. Mikovits

A recent clip from a soon to be released documentary called ‘Plandemic’ features a disgraced virologist, Dr. Judy Mikovits accusing a sinister corporate-controlled “circular cabal” led by Bill Gates himself, of creating the coronavirus pandemic.

Mikovits is adamant that this group she refers to as a “circular cabal” is led by Microsoft Founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates and she even goes on to accuse Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of burying her research which allegedly proved that vaccines weaken people’s immune systems and made them more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

Disgraced Doctor’s COVID Theory

Prior to the clip of Plandemic being released, Mikovits authored and published a book entitled ‘Plague of Corruption’ which frames herself as the brave whistleblower being held at bay by an Illuminati-like ‘deep state’ organization.

The story began in 2009, when Mikovits wrote a research paper on how the spread of a retrovirus through mice contributed to ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’. Unfortunately, no other research teams were able to replicate her findings in their own versions of the experiment, and Mikovit’s research was disregarded less than two years later. Mikovits decided that it was an effort by the cabal to discredit her.

In the viral clip from Plandemic, Mikovits insists that her research was buried and she even goes as far as saying that wearing a mask actually activates the coronavirus. She alleges that Dr. Fauci, who is the face of the Trump administration’s outbreak containment efforts, has censored her warnings to the public. Unfortunately, a little fuel was added to this fire when Trump himself began to publicly question the origins and spread of COVID-19, suggesting it was man-made.

But how does Bill Gates, and his philanthropic foundation, fit into all of this?

Bill Gates Leader of Circular Cabal Conspiracy

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have very publicly spent much of their time and resources supporting efforts to prevent and control infectious diseases. Despite these efforts, now that the world is in the clutches of the coronavirus pandemic, it seems the words of a disgraced doctor, a peculiar Microsoft patent number and Gates’s own altruistic determination to create a cure and vaccine for COVID-19 — have made him the target of one of the strangest and far-reaching conspiracies in modern times.

Nearly five years ago, Bill Gates appeared in a TED Talk warning the world about the lack of preparation and systems in place for our society to be able to properly deal with an airborne infectious disease. This would not be the only warning from the Microsoft founder and in fact, Gates went on to repeat his message in the years after.

In 2017 at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, appearing on behalf of his philanthropic Foundation Gates said, “Whether it occurs by a quirk of nature or at the hand of a terrorist, epidemiologists say a fast-moving airborne pathogen could kill more than 30 million people in less than a year. And they say there is a reasonable probability the world will experience such an outbreak in the next 10 to 15 years.”

Mikovits appeared on an alt-right news site known as the Truth News Network on the 12 April, claiming that the COVD-19 crisis is just the latest in a series of fake epidemics created by big pharma and the Gate Foundation for profit. Mikovits appeared on an alt-right news site known as the Truth News Network on the 12 April, claiming that the COVID-19 crisis is just the latest in a series of fake epidemics created by big pharma and the Gate Foundation for profit. She said, “We’ve gone through swine flu, bird flu, Aids. All of the pandemics, epidemics are perpetrated a fraud to control, to drive our healthcare system. Literally it’s bankrupting our country,” she said. “A third of our gross national product is this medical cabal. Health insurance that we never had to have before that costs us thousands of dollars a month. Insurance for what? So you can buy their chemotherapies which literally help no one.”

While it may be easy for most of us to dismiss her story, it appears that Dr.Mikovits’ medical background may be giving the conspiracy more life than it deserves and she is not the only one pointing fingers.

Oscar Winner Believes Gates Conspiracy is Satanic

Nikita Mikhalkov, the Oscar-winning Russian director, recently unleashed his own conspiracy after taking a closer look at a patent number for a new cryptocurrency mining system recently patented by Microsoft – WO/2020/060606. Appearing on an episode of ‘Besogan TV’, Mikhalkov was adamant that the patent is the first step in a satanic plan to microchip the entire global population and it was clear to him by the appearance of the devil’s number “666” in the patent application.

Since the actual outbreak began, Bill Gates and his foundation have been popping up regularly in the media determined to help the world by developing and distributing a vaccine to the global population.

While Mikahlkov did not reference Mikovits’ book, he did claim that the coming COVID-19 vaccination distributed by the Bill Gates Foundation will be a trojan horse for a microchip in an insidious scheme to enslave the world.

The Academy Award-winning director has even named Herman Graf, the Head of Russian bank Sberbank, as a co-conspirator and has gained the support of ex-Tennis superstar and Russian politician Marat Safin.

Bill Gates' COVID Conspiracy Grows In Italian Parliament, Allegations of Population Control by Political Anti-Vaxxer

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many subjects to the forefront: our reliance on oil, manufacturing in China, the need for digital dollars, the frailty of our global supply chain, and our lack of preparation to deal with the outbreak.

However, perhaps the strangest topic online and the most unavoidable has been the conspiracy theory chasing Bill Gates and his foundation’s efforts to produce a Covid-19 vaccine. The accusations range from him directly being the cause of the pandemic, to being the head of an Illuminati like circular cabal bent on controlling the world through microchips, and now an insidious plan to depopulate the planet of billions of people.

Where we Came In

We are a blockchain news site, while we absolutely love discussing technologies that may appear to border on fantasy, it has never been our intention to dive into the realm of conspiracy and allegations. However, while this conspiracy began for us as a simple write up on a cutting-edge Microsoft crypto mining patent, the story was bigger to some people than we ever could have imagined and has now taken on a life of its own.

In an effort to put this story to bed once and for all, as far as we are concerned, we have decided to look a little more closely at the allegations and perhaps shed some light, for some, on why they may be getting carried away with their perceptions of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and their effort to combat the coronavirus.

The Devil’s Patent

In March 2020, Microsoft filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for a new system that proposes using sensors, not microchips, to detect and calculate the amount of energy and time spent on a pre-determined activity, like engaging with an advertisement. The sensors apparently are capable of gauging both physical and brain activity and convert that sum into data which can be used by computers to solve computational problems and create new blocks.

What we did not really pay attention to, at the time, was the peculiar patent number of the Microsoft technology – WO/2020/060606. This number, however, did not slip past the Oscar-winning Russian director, Nikita Mikhalkov. A devout Christian, Mikhalkov immediately noticed that the last few numbers of the patent seemed to include the devil’s number, “666” in the application.

Appearing on Russian TV, Mikhalkov said, “The 060606 part is somewhat alarming. You probably understand this, right? Is this a coincidence or an intentional selection of such a symbol, which in the Apocalypse of John is called the ‘number of the beast’ – the 666.”

The Oscar-winning director is so confident in his claims that he went on to name Herman Graf, the Head of Russian bank Sberbank, as a co-conspirator, and his arguments have been convincing enough for former Tennis champion and now Russian politician Marat Safin—who has shown public support for the director’s theory.

The Obvious Possible Explanation

Perhaps unknown to both Mikhalkov and Safin, is that patent filing numbers are simply generated according to the guidelines of the World Intellectual Property Organisation. And both of these men do not ever contend with Microsoft’s US patent number, which was published in the United States as US20200097951. We assume it is because there are no numbers linked to biblical prophecies or ‘Satan’ in this filing.

The first numbers ‘2020’ simply represent the year, and the rest is simply the order it was filed in. Not too much to this one.

Plandemic and the Anti-Vaxxer Virologist

A week ago, a clip from a soon to be released documentary called ‘Plandemic’ went viral on YouTube before being removed. The clip featured a disgraced virologist named Dr. Judy Mikovits accusing a sinister corporate-controlled “circular cabal” led by Bill Gates himself, of creating the coronavirus pandemic.

The Obvious Possible Explanation

Prior to the clip of Plandemic being released, Mikovits had already authored and published a book entitled the ‘Plague of Corruption’ which frames herself as the brave whistleblower being held at bay by an Illuminati-like ‘deep state’ organization.

Mikovits has received a lot of support, unfortunately, due to her training as a virologist. But in her excuses regarding her lack of legitimate support, she and her following have consistently failed to mention that her research has never been successfully replicated in other laboratories—meaning it has failed the scientific research standard of peer review. This is basically the reason why anyone’s research would be disregarded, and another point many do not want to contend with is that Mikovits does appear to have a notorious anti-vaxxer history and her research also appears to be driven by her agenda allowing her to draw the conclusions she would like to see. If this were not the case, her research would have held up. But it didn’t.

Mikovits down.

Italy Calls for the Arrest of Bill Gates

The most recent in the line of allegations came less than a week ago, this time by Italian politician Anna Cunial who took to the house floor to call for the arrest of Bill Gates as she believes he is on a mission to depopulate the world by up to 15%.

Cunial alleges that Gates has been working on depopulation and dictatorial control plans on global politics, aiming to obtain control over agriculture, technology, and energy. Cunial’s allegations appear to fit in with Mikovits’ own accusations, alluding to a powerful deep-state government that Gates himself controls. She subscribes to the claim circulating on social media, that Gates owns the “patent” for the SARS-CoV2, a virus that wasn’t even discovered until January 2020. The theory goes that this entire pandemic is just to create a need for a vaccine from which Gates will subsequently profit.

Cunial points to Event 201 which took place in Davos Switzerland, and officially served as a simulation for the prevention and control of such a pandemic. She quotes Bill Gates from the day of the simulation, who she claims said, “If we do a good job on vaccines, health, and reproduction, we can reduce the world population by 10-15%, only a genocide can save the world.”

Cunial goes on to put an unsupported, by anyone of substance, spin on some of the Gates Foundation’s achievements, “With his vaccines, Gates managed to sterilize millions of women in Africa. Gates caused a polio epidemic that paralyzed 500,000 children in India, and still, today with the DPT vaccines, Gates causes more death than the disease itself.”

The Obvious Possible Explanation

First, let’s dispel the myth that Italy is out for the arrest of Gates. No, the Italian authorities have not been as compelled as the red-eyed Youtube users and underground chat scene to take up arms against the philanthropist.

While Cunial’s argument was lengthy and quite articulate on the Italian parliament floor, and she did cover all her bases mentioning everything from the Bilderberg Group to Monsanto GMOs—Cunial’s argument seemed to really fall down when she kept returning to Gates’ motivations as simply being to control-everything.

She is especially disturbed and perplexed with Gates’ ability to have predicted the pandemic after only spending a decade speaking to the most intelligent minds the world has to offer on the subject. It seems for his accusers, Gates’s most significant and obvious flaw has been his long campaign to prevent these diseases and to continue to pursue vaccines for diseases that really should no longer exist and have a larger impact on the third world and developing nations.

The reality at this point is that Cunial has never seen a vaccine that she liked, and so far she has not published or provided any hard evidence for her accusations, which may sound powerful when spoken but really falls apart quite quickly when any actual research goes into them. She claims money and control to be his main motivations, “The Italian contribution to the International Alliance against the coronavirus will be 140 million Euros of which 120 million Euros will be given to Gavi Alliance the no-profit created by the Gates Foundation. This is just part of the 7.4 billion funds by the EU to find a vaccine against coronavirus which will be used.”

Again lets layout these motivations for the alleged evil of Bill Gates logically—yes, Cunial is actually saying that Gates is in pursuit of money and control?

Unless you have been living under a rock since the 1990s, you are probably aware that Gates is the founder of a little company called Microsoft and this has made him incredibly rich. In fact, rich beyond our, and definitely Cunial’s, narrow comprehension. 120 million Euros is definitely a lot of money, but not really to someone who has over 100 Billion USD and change, and is still earning exponentially. Gates and his family for generations upon generations will never ever be in need of money.

Additionally, there are a lot of easier ways to make money than selling vaccines, which have to go through very extensive testing and regulatory requirements. Vaccines also do not even have anything close to the profit margins of other non-essential medications like a Viagra or even a basic health supplement.

As far as global control goes, again perhaps Cunial has not visited an actual office in the last 30 years, but Microsoft’s technology is more than likely the glue that holds most offices together. Gates does not need to infiltrate us with his technology, we are already on board. If he wanted to infiltrate us, he could do it the next time Windows tells you it’s time for an update.

Twitter Hack Goes Viral as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Biden Hit by Massive Bitcoin Scam

Twitter has gone haywire as news of a Bitcoin scam hack targeting multiple high-profile figures such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Jeff Bezos, and even multinational tech company Apple has broken out.

The scammers that hijacked multitudes of verified Twitter accounts belonging to celebrities and key influential figures issued the same message across all platforms:

“I am giving back to the community. All Bitcoin sent to the address below will be sent back doubled! If you send $1,000, I will send back $2,000. Only doing this for 30 minutes.”

This type of promise is a common technique used by crypto scammers to incite people to wire funds straight to their digital wallets.

On Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s account, hackers posted a pinned Tweet entailing that the entrepreneur was going to double any Bitcoin (BTC) amount sent to his BTC wallet address. The multi-faceted entrepreneur is known to possess 0.25 Bitcoins.

Ten minutes into the post, the wallet address displayed on Musk’s Twitter had already received 3.64 Bitcoins, which translated to $34 498 at the time of the reporting. The original tweet was soon deleted by Twitter Support. However, soon after the original post was removed, a new version popped up within seconds, clueing investigators into the fact that the Bitcoin attack was still ongoing.

Donations to another Bitcoin address created by crypto scammers were said to have surpassed $100,000 in collected funds.

After numerous influential Twitter accounts were discovered to be compromised — Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Michael Bloomberg, Uber, Binance, Coinbase, to name a few— scam tweets were still up and running for more than an hour.

Presidential runner Joe Biden’s official Twitter account was among those that were hijacked by scam artists. The scam was however contained and the post deleted within minutes. Chief executive of cybersecurity firm SocialProofSecurity Rachel Tobac addressed the issue and expressed her surprise as to Twitter not going “completely dark to prevent misinformation campaigns and political upheaval.” However, she said that it was a stroke of luck that the attackers were Bitcoin and money-motivated and not aiming for chaos and destruction.

Twitter support then went on to temporarily prevent all verified accounts on their social media platform from tweeting for about half an hour. They tried to reassure their social media community by tweeting that they were working on the security incident and investigating further to fix the breach. Updates will soon be provided, Twitter Support posted.

Charles Hoskinson Proposes Solution to Fix Twitter’s Problem, Taking Digital Identity to the Blockchain Age

With the recent Twitter hack, implicating individuals including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, and a few others, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson spoke about the issue in his most recent Whiteboard video.

In proposing a solution to this problem, Hoskinson suggested that Twitter does not need to “change much,” and that “Twitter works.” He added that Twitter does not need to make radical changes and that the authentication and verification process should be easy to use and understand.

In addition, the IOHK CEO said that the process should be built on solid foundations, no business model changes should be made, and it should be cheap and easy to maintain.

With the foundations of solving the issue, Hoskinson explained that cryptographic signatures could be a part of the solution for “fixing Twitter.”

“A signature is where somebody takes a message, […] and they sign it with a mathematical function using their private key, and that creates a signed message.”

Verification can be authenticated as the public key will be able to determine whether the course of action taken is legitimate.

Digital Identification Foundation

Hoskinson introduced a new standard, called the DID (decentralized identification) standard, which originated from the W3C. DID provides a standard to handle online identities using public and private keys. DIF, the digital identity foundation utilizes the DID standard, which is made up of members including Microsoft, IBM, Hyperledger, IOHK, Accenture, and others. He added, “There are lots of standards and we’re building this as a community in an ecosystem.”

The DID standard, as explained by Hoskinson, can be used for cryptocurrencies, as a part of the public key function.

Introducing the idea of “Verified Tweets”

The Cardano founder’s idea of a “verified tweet,” includes the process of sending out the tweet, then creating a hash related to the tweet, and finally a signature with the user’s private key. The hash is linked to the tweet, to verify the tweet hasn’t been tampered with, and the private key is used to sign the tweet.

This would process would result in two tweets, a verified tweet, and a regular tweet. The verified tweet would have the display of the tweet along with a verified symbol, while the regular would not. Hoskinson argues that this process would not be changing the Twitter verification process drastically. He added:

“A verified tweet would allow me to verify that the person tweeting controls it. […] The issue with the Twitter hack is Twitter itself was hacked, so how about we implement this type of solution without requiring Twitter much for that?”

Hoskinson’s proposed solution for Twitter

A user can simply create a new decentralized identifier, or import an existing DID to a whitelisted ID verifier. The whitelisted ID verifier could be a government identity or VeriSign, and this entity could check with all the supporting evidence provided in the process to ensure that the identity presented is legitimate. The verifier would then sign with their key, which then sends it back to Twitter.

Once Twitter receives the DID, they will be able to sign it as well, as long as it meets Twitter’s standards. The DID will have two signatures, one from the whitelisted authority, and the other from Twitter. The user would not be able to forge the signatures, as the user does not have those private keys. However, the user would be able to control the private key associate with the DID. The DID will then be embedded in a blockchain.

Taking the Cardano blockchain as an example, there would be beneficial features, including timestamping, auditability, and immutability. Hoskinson added:

“When the DID is embedded there, you have an ordering of events. You know when it first came in, and you can change it over time. It’s always there. Audit means that anybody can check it, in the entire world, no one can restrict your ability to check that and immutable means that nobody can change the record once it’s there.”

Cardano’s Prism framework

Charles Hoskinson further elaborated on Cardano’s Prism, which has a lot of built-in capabilities that would make the verification process easy on both providers, Twitter, and the whitelisted ID verifier.

With this proposed process, even if Twitter gets hacked and the hackers decided to send out a tweet from a user, the user would only be able to send out unverified tweets. Hoskinson said:

“You can even have a policy for high-value users that they can only send verified tweets, they can’t send anything else, meaning no one can tweet on their behalf.”

By utilizing the Cardano Prism framework, capabilities including threshold proofs, which requires the users to have certain qualities, including age or access. This would be enabled by zero-knowledge proofs. Hoskinson explained:

“The benefit to the end-user is that when we see Trump, or Bill Gates, or Elon Musk tweeting, we now have verified tweet to verify that it’s actually coming from them. No more giveaway scams, they die forever. No more impersonations, if Twitter itself gets hacked, doesn’t matter — no one can actually compromise the account.”

According to Hoskinson, the option of multi-sig tweets would allow for an extra layer of security and curation by having chains of signatures.

The IOHK CEO said that he would be happy to build this process, concluding, “Jack [Dorsey] you know where to find me, send me a private message, I’m sorry you guys went through this but […] great companies always recover, and they recover through great ideas.”

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Apologizes for Bitcoin Hack, But Not Before Dutch Politician Was Compromised

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey came forward on Thursday to apologize thoroughly for his social network company’s failure to prohibit and shut down Bitcoin scam artists’ digital heist of important verified accounts, that ranged from that of tech moguls Elon Musk and Bill Gates to political figure Joe Biden.

The hack was reported to be the biggest one that Twitter has suffered in all of its history, resulting in the seizure of at least 130 accounts on the social platform. All pertained to prominent figures and celebrities, and hackers tweeted out the same message through at least 45 of those accounts, demanding for Bitcoin (BTC) funds. The message that appeared on Elon Musk’s verified account was formulated as so:

“I am giving back to the community. All Bitcoin sent to the address below will be sent back doubled! If you send $1,000, I will send back $2,000. Only doing this for 30 minutes.”

Other accounts, such as that of coin exchange Binance, depicted that the coin exchange had partnered with “CryptoForHealth” and was looking to give back 5000 BTC to the community.

Did Hackers Have a Political Agenda?

Of all the accounts, hackers accessed the private messages of 36 verified accounts. CEO Dorsey revealed that one of those accounts belonged to an elected political official in the Netherlands. Twitter however does not believe any other former or current elected political figures’ direct messages were accessed. This may come as a bit of reassurance to former President of the United States, Barack Obama, and political runner-up, Joe Biden, who also had compromised social media accounts.

Identity of Hacked Political Account Comes to Light

Though Twitter has not disclosed the identity behind the Netherlands elected official’s hacked account, recent information has come to light that may suggest that it belonged to no other but Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

The far-right politician told BBC news recently that Twitter was referring to his verified account when it mentioned that one of the 36 accounts that had their direct private messages snooped through belonged to an elected political official.

Political Figure Spills the Beans

During the Twitter Bitcoin scam attack last week, Wilders’ profile picture was replaced with a cartoon of a black man, and his account’s background picture was switched to the Moroccan flag. The far-right Dutch politician is quite a figure in the Netherlands, as his Freedom Party is the second biggest part in the Netherlands’ House of Representatives.

Wilders told BBC that he had been using Twitter’s direct message tool for about 10 years now. He went on to say that he was informed by Twitter following the fraudulent hack that not only had his Twitter account been hacked for some days, but the hackers also posted tweets on his account and sent DMs in his name. He confirmed that the hackers indeed got full access to his DMS, which “is totally unacceptable in many ways.”

The Dutch politician is extremely concerned with the Twitter security breach, as his Freedom Party had campaigned to ban Muslim immigration and shut down mosques. He expressed his view:

“People critical of Islam or regimes in the Middle East [including those] from within countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria [have sent me DMs over 10 years] and I do hope they will not be in danger if their identity would be exposed because of this hack. I had deleted most of them but maybe some were left there for the hacker to see and copy.”

CEO Jack Dorsey and Twitter Apologizes

Twitter took matters into their own hands and commented on the incident, saying that they have recently implemented safeguards to improve the firewall security of their internal systems. They went on to add that they were working in collaboration with law enforcement to further the investigations of the infamous Twitter BTC scam. Twitter also apologetically said that they are committed to regaining “the trust of all their stakeholders with their every action, including how they address the security issue.”

Twitter Not The Only Victim of Bitcoin Schemes

Bitcoin scams are becoming increasingly common on social media networks, as Twitter is not the only platform that has been targeted in such fraudulent attacks. YouTube has also recently been faced with a lot of backlash, resulting in lawsuits, due to the volume of cryptocurrency scam videos streaming through their platform.

Apple Sues YouTube

In recent news, co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak filed a lawsuit against YouTube for the video content platform’s failure to take down fraudulent videos that impersonated Wozniak in an effort to extort XRP funds from YouTube subscribers. Google is also implicated in the lawsuit, as they are the parent company of YouTube.

Bill Gates Denies COVID-19 Vaccine Microchips and Satanic Conspiracy Theories

Bill Gates, Microsoft Founder and billionaire philanthropist, has responded to conspiracy theories that his charity foundation is planning to use the coronavirus vaccine to implant microchips into the global population. The conspiracy itself appears to have started with a patent for a very innovative cryptocurrency mining system filed by Microsoft earlier this year.

As reported by CNBC on 22 July, Bill Gates directly addressed a poll from Yahoo/YouGov that had shown 44% of Republicans in the United States believed a sensational and thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory—that he planned on microchipping the world population under the cover of a Covid-19 vaccine.

Gates dismissed the accusations as conspiracy and said he hoped that such misinformation would die down. “We need to get the truth out there,” said Gates during an interview on CBS News. “I hope it’ll die down as people get the facts.”

Gates also reasserted that his only goal is to bring the coronavirus pandemic to an end, and he will continue on that mission with his foundation.

Bill Gates COVID Conspiracy Theories and Accusations

In March 2020, Microsoft filed a crypto mining patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for a new system that proposes using sensors, not microchips, to detect and calculate the amount of energy and time spent on a pre-determined activity, like engaging with an advertisement. The sensors apparently are capable of gauging both physical and brain activity and convert that sum into data which can be used by computers to solve computational problems and create new blocks.

The patent number of the Microsoft crypto mining technology – WO/2020/060606. The number, immediately caught the attention of Oscar-winning Russian director, Nikita Mikhalkov. The director immediately decided it was a satanic plot and appearing on Russian TV, he said, “The 060606 part is somewhat alarming…Is this a coincidence or an intentional selection of such a symbol, which in the Apocalypse of John is called the ‘number of the beast’ – the 666.” .

The director alluded to a loose connection between Microsoft’s patent and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s efforts to produce a vaccine for the coronavirus, and deduced it was a satanic conspiracy to microchip the world while failing to discover the patent had nothing to do with microchips. The TV appearance brought the conspiracy further into the mainstream and it even trended on Twitter for a time.

Mikhalkov has not been the only public figure to accuse Gates and his foundation of such a conspiracy. Many others including celebrities and public figures as well as members of the general public appear to have been influenced by the mass of disinformation. Recently, Italian politician Anna Cunial called for the arrest of Bill Gates as she believes he is on a mission to depopulate the world by up to 15% as head of a mysterious deep-state world government.

Despite all of these theories being thoroughly debunked—the survey from Yahoo/Yougov, found that around 28% of American adults believed that Gates planned to use a Covid-19 vaccine as a trojan horse to implant billions of people with microchips.

The means that at least 50 million people in the United States alone believe in this debunked conspiracy as recently as May of this year. In fact, there are several popular White House Petitions currently calling for an investigation into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for crimes against humanity.

Gates Just Want to Ensure Covid Vaccine Access for Everyone

In the interview with CNBC on Wednesday, Gates said that people need to look at the facts and that he hopes these accusations continue to die down as people appreciate the problem the world is faced with in not having a vaccine to deal with the coronavirus outbreak—which has killed over 600,000 people globally.

According to the World Health Organisation, there are more than 100 vaccines under development and 23 in human trial. The Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation has pledged over 100 million dollars to support the WHO as well as an additional $1.6 billion to the Gavi Vaccine alliance.

Gates has previously expressed that he wants to ensure that the incoming viable vaccine is not sold to the highest bidder as another reason for his foundation’s intense oversight of the Covid-19 vaccine development.

Gates said, “We want to make sure we don’t have people dying just because they don’t have access to the vaccine…we will get a good deal on the vaccine and we need the world to get a good deal on that. Many of the companies have committed themselves to that.”

Twitter Says Bitcoin Hack Originated From Phone Phishing Attack

On Thursday, Twitter provided an update addressing the massive Bitcoin hack that overtook its platform earlier this month.

Did Hackers Funnel BTC Funds Via Phone?

The social networking company said that “the hackers behind the high-profile online break-in at Twitter Inc. talked their way onto the company’s network using the telephone.” Though they cared to disclose this new update, further details on how the digital heist was conducted were not provided.

The company had previously said that that the Bitcoin (BTC) scam artists were able to seize control of so many high-profile verified accounts on their network because of insider information that leaked out. Twitter had previously issued a report, that read:

“We detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools. We know they used this access to take control of many highly-visible (including verified) accounts and Tweet on their behalf.”

Twitter Gets An Earful From Law Enforcement

Because of this huge security breach, which consequently led to at least 130 Twitter accounts being compromised, Twitter has received backlash by the US Securities Exchange and Commission (SEC), and the incident is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Senator of Missouri Josh Hawley also addressed the Twitter security breach, writing to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and demanding more information about the hack. He asked whether the company had had stricter access control measures implemented in the past, and if so, why these regulations had not been carried out.

Twitter spoke up on Thursday regarding the digital Bitcoin and said:

“We’re accelerating several of our pre-existing security workstreams and improvements to our tools. We are also improving our methods for detecting and preventing inappropriate access to our internal systems and prioritizing security work across many of our teams.”

Because of the Twitter hack, the verified accounts of high-profile figures ranging from tech moguls such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to political figures Barack Obama and Joe Biden, to name a few, were compromised. The hack was driven by Bitcoin artists looking to funnel digital funds to their digital wallet. Bitcoin hackers took to the social media profile of the seized verified accounts and generated repetitive tweets from celebrities, high-profile tech moguls and coin exchanges that promised platform users a doubling of their BTC profits if the latter sent $1000 in Bitcoin.

The cryptocurrency stunt was successful, as the Bitcoin scam generated more than $100,000 worth of BTC.

Twitter Stocks Drop

Since the massive hack attack, Twitter’s market value has taken a colossal hit. The shares of the social media company dropped by more than 4%, plummeting with a wipe-out of $1.3 billion in market value.

Since the incident, CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey has come forward and apologized for the security breach, as concerns worldwide have escalated and his and his firm’s reputation has been at stake. On Thursday, his company took to its social Twitter account and said:

“This attack relied on a significant and concerted attempt to mislead certain employees and exploit human vulnerabilities to gain access to our internal systems.”

Bill Gates Confused by Trump’s Terms for Microsoft TikTok Deal, Twitter Reportedly Joins Race

Microsoft may be entering the social media ecosystem should they acquire TikTok, in a deal that Bill Gates is calling a poisoned chalice. Meanwhile, Twitter is now rumored to be in talks with ByteDance—TikTok’s parent company—to potentially reclaim their old video Vines territory.

In a recent interview with Wired, Bill Gates described the potential Microsoft acquisition of TikTok as a poisoned chalice and admitted that he is confused by some of the terms set by President Trump, who suggested that the US Treasury will be expecting some cut of the deal.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that Twitter is now in discussions with ByteDance over potentially acquiring TikTok’s social media video app, an ironic twist as Twitter discontinued their Vines videos which essentially had already captured the market it now is trying to buy back into at a price that will exceed its own market cap.

TikTok Goes the US Acquisition Clock

After months of President Trump and United States officials expressing concern that data from TikTok’s users in the US is being shared with the Chinese Communist Party, the White House finally issued an executive order against the app last week, in addition to second order for China-based WeChat.

According to the official White House release, the executive orders against TikTok and WeChat will take effect in 45 days. The orders will prohibit any US company or person from transacting with TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, which would most likely see the popular video social app banned from both Apple and Google’s app stores and make advertising on the app illegal regardless of where it is hosted.

As the executive order loomed, Microsoft confirmed on August 3, that they are in discussions to buy TikTok’s operations in the United States as well as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The technology giant has been engaging with the White House on the deal that should be completed by September 15.

It’s a complicated deal that would give Microsoft a big presence in the social networking space at the risk of being part of a larger trade war between the US and China.

Bill Gates is clearly wary of Microsoft’s potential TikTok acquisition, he said, “Who knows what’s going to happen with that deal,” says Gates. “It’s a poisoned chalice.” He also believes that being a major player in the social media business would open Microsoft to a whole new level of content moderation.

Gates thinks that Facebook needs some competition and was critical on the lackluster way that certain conspiracy theories about Gates and his foundation were not taken down off Facebook’s platform before they had already achieved millions of views. Nevertheless, he said that Trump killing off Facebook’s main competition is still “pretty bizarre.”

In the interview with Wired, Gates also expressed his confusion about President Trump’s assertion that the United States Treasury should receive a cut of the sale of TikTok. He said, “The principle this is proceeding on is singly strange, the cut thing, that’s doubly strange. Anyway, Microsoft will have to deal with all of that.”

Twitter Likely to Join in TikTok Bid, ByteDance May Sue

On Aug 8, it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that TikTok and Twitter have held discussions about a potential merger.

TikTok has amassed a global user of avid consumers for its short-form videos, including at least 100 million users in the US. A service eerily similar to the video Vines that Twitter discontinued on its own platform, and ironically a market it may have captured on its own if it had simply continued and enhanced the service.

According to the WSJ, Twitter and Bytedance have had preliminary talks about a merger of TikTok’s US operations—but noted that Microsoft remains the front-runner for TikTok’s business in the US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

TikTok is estimated to be worth $15billion to $50 billion with the upper estimate almost doubling Twitter market cap of $29 Billion—this effectively means that a potential merger with Twitter would just be for TikTok’s North American business. In addition, any Twitter bid for TikTok business would likely have to include additional third-party investors.

ByteDance LTD, the parent of TikTok has continually been defending itself against President Donald Trump’s pressure to force the sale of the business or potentially ban it. There are reports that the Chinese tech company will sue the Trump Administration for the recent executive order, citing it as unconstitutional. The lawsuit is expected to be filed as soon as Aug 11.

Should ByteDance file their expected lawsuit, it could throw a further spanner in the works and may even frighten off would-be buyers of TikTok.

So far, Twitter and Microsoft are the only reported interested parties for Bytedance’s business, but others will likely emerge as the clock continues to tick on the executive order.

Microsoft’s Crypto Patent Fuels Another Right Wing Satanic Conspiracy By Ex-CIA Agent

Ex-CIA agent Kevin Shipp has dragged Microsoft’s crypto-mining patent right back into the center of another right-wing conspiracy based on a controversial ad featuring alleged satanist Marina Abramovic. Former CIA agent Kevin Shipp has shared an image of alleged satanist Marina Abramovic promoting a Microsoft product with his 150,000 Twitter followers, further exacerbating the Microsoft devil’s patent conspiracy.

2020 has been a hard year for us all, the COVID-19 pandemic along with a major economic crisis and the general uncertainty about the state of our society appears to have the online masses no longer sure what to believe. Prevalent throughout the pandemic have been conspiracy theories and an unfortunate Microsoft patent number filing appears to have once again dragged Bill Gates right into the thick of the misinformation.

On Sept. 10, former CIA agent Kevin Shipp in a Tweet, linked Microsoft’s recent crypto-mining patent—which outlines a system for converting body activity data into computational power—to an advertisement for Microsoft featuring Serbian performer and alleged satanist Marina Abramovic.

On April 10, Microsoft uploaded a film to its YouTube account about Marina Abramovic, the Serbian performance artist is known for pushing her body to the limit. While the advertisement actually promoted a new mixed reality headset by Microsoft called the HoloLens 2, Shipp could not help but draw the connection to the Abramovic’s alleged Satanism and the Microsoft Patent’s suspiciously biblical number – WO2020060606.

Microsoft’s recent patent for a human-powered crypto mining system based on sensors that convert physical or mental activity into computer power has generated a lot of interest and captured the imagination of the public, but perhaps Shipp and others are looking at it a little too closely.

Notably, earlier in the year—Nikita Mikhalkov, the Oscar-winning Russian director, recently unleashed his own conspiracy after taking a closer look at the patent number for Microsoft’s crypto mining system—WO/2020/060606. Appearing on an episode of ‘Besogan TV’, Mikhalkov was adamant that the patent is the first step in a satanic plan to microchip the entire global population and it was clear to him by the appearance of the devil’s number “666” in the patent application.

On the program, Mikhalkov was quoted:

“The 060606 part is somewhat alarming. You probably understand this, right? Is this a coincidence or an intentional selection of such a symbol, which in the Apocalypse of John is called the ‘number of the beast’ – the 666.”

Unfortunately for Bill Gates and his Foundation, the conspiracies have not stopped for him this year, and so far he has been accused of being the leader of a deep-state cabal, population control and even purposely withholding the Coronavirus vaccination. Ironically, no one appears to be doing more for the world in this pandemic climate the Gates and his wife Melinda’s foundation, and Gates himself has had to comment on the insane allegations on several occasions.
