Federal whistleblower documents are raising serious questions about the extent to which Bill Gates has used charitable donations to shape United States government health policy from the inside, in ways that have also served his own financial interests.
As reported by Real Clear Investigations, the documents—comprising several dozen emails and internal records made public for the first time by an NIH whistleblower—show that the Gates Foundation worked directly with senior NIH officials over almost 25 years to co-ordinate grant funding and set scientific policy across at least ten federal research programmes.
The whistleblower described the arrangement as "a complete merging of NIH and Gates", adding that the relationship resembled a cartel, also involving the Wellcome Trust. NIH officials did not appear to raise conflict-of-interest concerns at any point in the correspondence reviewed.
The foundation's charitable mission and investment portfolio are closely intertwined. A $55 million investment in BioNTech, Pfizer's Covid vaccine partner, yielded more than $550 million when shares were sold after the vaccine reached market. The foundation also held equity in CureVac, one of several vaccine companies in which it took commercial positions.
Internal planning documents from a 2016 Gates-NIH workshop reveal that NIH Director Francis Collins prepared a minute-by-minute arrival itinerary for Gates, with agency police escorting his three-vehicle convoy on site. A senior Trump administration official, shown the itinerary, said such deference is normally reserved for heads of state.
The disclosures come as Gates is scheduled to give private testimony to Congress. The Gates Foundation and the NIH both declined to comment.
🤖 Israeli software firm, Irregular, is behind the Anthropic and OpenAI cyberattacks on Meta
Irregular in collaboration with software engineers from Anthropic and OpenAI instructed unsecure experimental AI models to hack into specific targets called "flags".
The AI models were given "accidentally" access to internet and in some cases hacked into the servers of specific companies because the "flags" bore the names of said companies, Meta being one such case.
After the hack was discovered by Meta, Anthropic's engineers went on a press tour to announce the AI-pocalypse falsely claiming that their AI models "went rogue" when in reality, they specifically instructed their AI models to conduct cyberattacks.
Anthropic's own logs completely debunk the rogue agent theory.
When Anthropic explicitly instructed their own models not to access the internet, they didn't. These hacks were easily preventable - not only by revoking internet access, but by simply asking the models not to.

🇺🇸⛽️ US refiners face historic stress test as global crisis looms
U.S. refineries have operated near maximum capacity for the longest sustained period in over a quarter century, scrambling to capture windfall profits created by the Iran war. But history offers a cautionary tale: “Super refining” runs that push plants too hard can cause major failures.
This has global implications. U.S. refineries’ ability to sustain today’s elevated operating rates for months, or potentially years, could mean the difference between an exceptionally tight global fuel market and a full-blown supply crisis marked by acute shortages, demand destruction and widespread economic pain.
The result of the U.S-Israeli war on Iran has been a collapse in global fuel production. Global refinery throughput in July fell to 81 million barrels per day (bpd), nearly 5 million bpd, or about 6%, below the level at this point last year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

📝 🇸🇪 🚷 Peter Sweden on X: 35.7% of the population in Sweden now has a foreign background.
Only 64.3% of the population has a Swedish background.
Swedish people are already a MINORITY in the third largest city of Malmö.
Here is what the media doesn't tell you about Sweden.
New statistics show something that would have been unheard of in the 90s.
What would you think if I told you that Sweden is changing, it is happening fast.
In fact, Swedish people are now already a minority in Malmö which is the third largest city in the country.
If you had told someone in the 90s that this would be the case, then you might have been labelled a ”far-right conspiracy theorist”.
However, it is happening.
The borders are still wide open in Sweden it seems. Because since 2020, around 600.000 people have gotten residence permit in Sweden. That is over 5% of the population in just a few years.
Some on the left see this as a good thing, with more cultural diversity.
But others on the right think this is going too far....
