And,\u00a0<b>whether he\u2019s been treated fairly or not, a sizable number of people believe quite strongly, that Gates is the mastermind behind a plan to use lab-generated infectious diseases to subjugate the global population in order to establish a tyrannical New Order controlled by voracious elites like himself.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_magnetRelConrel_89-4\" data-widget-id=\"rel_89-4\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"magnet-row-rel_89-4\">\n<div class=\"magnet-box-rel_89-4\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"magnet-text-wrapper-rel_89-4\"><a class=\"_magnetRelLkrel_89-4\" title=\"Over 100 Monkeypox Infections Detected in 10 Countries as Unprecedented Outbreak Spreads Globally\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/over-100-monkeypox-infections-detected-10-countries-unprecedented-outbreak-spreads-globally\/5781149\" rel=\"nofollow\">Over 100 Monkeypox Infections Detected in 10 Countries as Unprecedented Outbreak Spreads Globally<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"container\"><span class=\"contents\">And the WHO\u2019s new sovereignty-eviscerating treaty further underscores this point, in fact, it seems to suggest that Gates and his fellow travelers believe their lifelong ambition to rule the world is now within their grasp.

For example, I discovered that there had been a tabletop exercise simulating a global pandemic involving an unusual strain of #monkeypox\u201d that took place in March 2021. It\u2019s astonishing how many of these \u2018preparatory drills\u2019 seem to take place just prior to some particularly horrific event. Can we dismiss them all as mere coincidences? Check out this blurb from the Brownstone Institute:<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1_18\" class=\"container\"><span class=\"contents\">\u201c\u2026 media outlets around the world are on red alert over\u00a0<b>the world\u2019s first-ever global outbreak of Monkeypox in mid-May 2022\u2014just one year after an international biosecurity conference in Munich held a simulation of a \u201cglobal pandemic involving an unusual strain of Monkeypox\u201d beginning in mid-May 2022.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1_19\" class=\"container\"><span class=\"contents\">Monkeypox was first identified in 1958, but\u00a0<b>there\u2019s never been a global Monkeypox outbreak outside of Africa until now\u2014in the exact week of the exact month predicted by the biosecurity folks in their pandemic simulation.

The only rational assumption one can make, is that monkey-pox, like Covid, is a lab-generated pathogen spread by covert agents that are prosecuting a bio-war on the global population. But we\u2019ll have to consult Dr Fauci on the matter and see if he agrees.

Of course, some people might conclude that we are being deliberately misled again, and that 2 pandemics in 2 years is a statistical impossibility.
