Bill Gates and the Frame Game

Via The Brownstone Institute

by Thomas Harrington

A few weeks back, at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Bill Gates said some surprising things. In the course of a 56-minute panel discussion the vaccine pusher extraordinaire admitted (starting at the 18:22 mark) that the Covid vaccines do not block infection and that the duration of whatever protection they bring to the table is extremely short.

He later talked (starting at 51:00 mark) of the absurdity of implementing any Covid passport program—and one can logically deduce any other measure to segregate the vaccinated from the unvaccinated—when the injections have shown no ability to do the least that one should expect from a vaccine: prevent infection and transmission.

These admissions violently kick the stool out from under the arguments made in favor of the more assaultive and damaging Covid “containment measures” taken in the past two years, many of which are still being pursued with pitiless vigor by public officials, CEOs, and educational “leaders” all around the world.

Are we to believe that Bill Gates had a sudden impulse to undermine all that he used his billions to mercilessly promote over the last two years? And that he was giving all those currently carrying out those plans permission to stand down?

It’s a nice thought. But I don’t believe it to be the case.

No. Bill was simply engaging in one of the more tried and true techniques of elite information management, the limited hangout, or what I prefer to call a drive to “save the frame” of an argument that is quickly taking on water.

Since Bill and many of the people he has paired up with to force the experimental and often harmful vaccines upon the world, effectively own or have donated untold amounts of money to many of the world’s more important media outlets, he knew beforehand that he did not have to worry much about his words being widely circulated.

And so it was. Only relatively small independent news gatherers took any note of what he said.

So who was he addressing his words to and why?

He was speaking to the fellow true believers and providing them with a rhetorical model for handling the loss of faith some among their ranks are having in the face of the vaccines’ abject failure.

The key to understanding the frame game here is the clause Gates uttered right before the “but” with which he introduced his truthful words about the “vaccines” pitiful infection-blocking capabilities and short duration of effectiveness: “The vaccines have saved millions of lives.”

Those familiar with the work of cognitive linguist George Lakoff, or the activities of pollster and so-called political wordsmith Frank Luntz will know what I’m talking about.

What these two men have in common—despite their divergent political allegiances—is their belief in the extraordinary power of rhetorical framing; that is, the tendency of the human brain to subordinate the careful analysis of empirically proven details to the embrace of an overarching cognitive metaphor that appeals to their deeper, if often unstated, cultural and emotional values.

It’s the difference between, for example: “The US invaded Iraq on false pretenses and destroyed it, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.” and “In its efforts to bring democracy to Iraq, the US made a number of tragic mistakes.”

The first states a bald empirical truth. The second obfuscates that crude reality and subordinates it to the noble vision, so cherished by Americans when contemplating their role in the world, of a country that is constantly helping people around the world to better their lives.

And with widespread imposition of mental frames like this through the media, “poof!” go all the gory, on-the-ground details, and with them more importantly, the need to actually interrogate what we did and how we might seek to repair the lives we broke.

Going back to Davos, Bill was effectively saying to his minions, “You are on a great moral crusade. We’ve had some small problems along the way, but don’t give up, because the world needs us to continue to be heroic and save more lives.”

And with that cognitive frame in place, any creeping doubts those in the audience might have about what they have done, and their future mission, disappear just like that.

We see the same gambit used when the US government inevitably links the apparent waning of the pandemic to the use of vaccines. Here, for example, is what the CDC said to CNN shortly after lifting requirement that US citizens be tested before returning home from foreign travels:

“The Covid-19 pandemic has now shifted to a new phase, due to the widespread uptake of highly effective Covid-19 vaccines, the availability of effective therapeutics, and the accrual of high rates of vaccine-and infection-induced immunity at the population level in the United States. Each of these measures has contributed to lower risk of severe disease and death across the United States.”

It’s no accident that the first factor adduced to explain the onset of happier days, the one that sets the frame for all that follows, is the “widespread uptake of highly effective Covid-19 vaccines.”

The goal here— as it was in the case of Gates at Davos—is to preserve, in the face of abundant empirical evidence to the contrary, the frame that presents the forced administration of vaccines as the great slayer of the pandemic and gifter of our vanquished freedoms, and to turn that suggestion into an established fact through constant repetition.

But, of course, neither Gates’s claim about the vaccines saving “millions of lives” nor the CDCs’ assertion that “widespread vaccine uptake” was the key reason for ending the pandemic are established facts. Far from it. Indeed, there are no scientific studies that l know of capable of authenticating either claim. But that’s just the point.

The elites that deign to rob us of our bodily sovereignty and so much more in the name of Covid, or whatever other “mortal health threat” that they choose to publicize next through their carpet-bomber control of most media, have all done their homework on the frame game and carefully tailor their communications to fit with its imperatives.

Unfortunately, most citizens are still not clued in to how it operates in their lives. Verbal details such as the ones cited above matter because they play an enormous role in establishing and maintaining what the now sadly tarnished Chomsky once brilliantly called the field of “thinkable thought” in our public discussions.
To open up that field we need to smash their frames. But to smash those frames we first need to admit they exist, and where we can go to find them.

I would say that Billy is the biggest slimeball on the planet … but, unfortunately, I think there are BIGGER slimeballs behind the curtain.

No worries, though … they WILL get theirs when they have to stand before our Maker … unless they wise-up and repent from their wicked ways.

Does that mean people like Mao and Pol Pot have a chance at heaven IF they, in their last moments, repented?

Imagine being a person who experienced the horrors of people like this and then seeing them in heaven.

Neither Mao or Pol Pot were of any Christian beliefs so I doubt salvation was on their minds.
Sociopaths and psychopaths rarely feel guilt.
And Luciferians tell 2/3 the truth so as to obfuscate their true goals while giving the rest of us the illusion of choice.
Evil people to their core.
Never forget.

To answer your question directly, the answer is YES. God forgives all sins, if the person is truly repentant. It doesn’t matter to Him when you find forgiveness, only that you do. Look at the thief on the cross next to Jesus who received absolution at the last moment. I heard a pastor once say that there are three surprises in Heaven: 1 – you’re there 2 – who is there, and 3 – whose NOT there.

Yes, it is an absolute fact that if people like Mao and co. repent before they die, they do have a chance at heaven. Nobody’s sin can be bigger than God.

There have been many people who have received grace at the final moment of their lived and have been saved. God wills the salvation of every person. But He will not act against their will. The notorious gangster Dutch Schultz received baptism on his deathbed. Napoleon Bonaparte had a priest, sent by the pope who was his former captive, attend him at his death and give him last rites. Many soldiers, administrators and spectators of the deaths of the martyrs received the grace of conversion and joined the martyrs in their martyrdom.

On the other hand, grace cannot be presumed, and most deathbed conversions are for the Glory of God, and not to give the sinner a get out of jail card.

The sad fact is that most people die as they have lived, and so, reap what they have sown.

The bible is full of stories of those whom “God hardened their hearts,” meaning that He deprived them of the grace they would need to be able to convert, as a just punishment of their sins.

So, baring some concrete sign of repentance and conversion, you can be fairly certain that those such as Mao, Hitler, or Rumsfeld are not waiting to greet you on the other side of the pearly gates.

Actually, according to The Bible. NOBODY is ‘waiting’ to greet you.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 Context

13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I think you hit on the main facet of what is behind Gates’ attempt to ‘redefine parameters’ in the above passage.

These are ‘True Believers’, and the True Believer – as a defining facet of the personality type – will tolerate a lot of falsehood, misdirection, incremental deception, and ‘Hale-Bopp’ style re-defining of promise / prediction, in order to prop up the faith-based – but totally inaccurate – belief system that they define themselves within.

Eventually however, even some portion of the True Believers fall away or become unwilling to deny reality or lie to themselves anymore. Gates did not make a whole lot of money because he was stupid, and the actual truth of the entirety of ‘Warp Speed’ was that it created dangerous products that should not have been administered to anyone, and which are complete failures, sold under falsehood, deception and through silencing those who told the truth.

On some level, Gates knows that if Rochelle Walensky was the Product director of some ancillary MS software product and made a patently false statement about the security of that product to market analysts or shareholders, she would have been hitting the pavement as soon as it became known.

Gates also has to be aware that his own liability protection is through agreements with researchers who sign off to accept all liability for any vax claims or injuries as a condition of his funding, and – once again – not being an actual idiot – Gates has to be aware that these Warp Speeded Vax (his application for grants specifically solicited those researching MRNA applications) have now caused significant deaths and injuries, and within a matter of months Biden is likely facing calls for impeachment. Subsequently, those researchers who took all liability onto their own labs will be highly likely to want to draw in Gates – and his assets – into future legal challenges.

The path to this would be to assert that Gates and his foundations continued to fund or control development at or beyond the point at which it was clear to even the average person sthat these were failed projects likely or certain to cause harm to some portion of those getting jabbed.

So, you have –

1) The faith failure on the part of the wannabe true believer, who decides that when he was not levitated up to the Hop-Bopp Comet as promised by his theologian, he no longer accepts the assurance that he can still get to the spaceship through suicide..

2) Combined with old fashioned, cynical product liability potential that tends to drag into its clutches the moneyed interest that can actually pay a huge judgement – meaning going public with how gosh darned displeased you are to find out that gambling was going on in your, umm.. casino, suits the interests of said funding source at this stage.
