Meanwhile - some students at Stanford are pretending to be Jains so they can spend their meal plan money at Whole Foods instead of the school cafeteria.

MORE BILL GATES PANDEMIC PLANS
EPSTEIN FILES EXPOSE GATES JPMORGAN PLAN TO TURN PANDEMICS INTO PROFIT MACHINES YEARS BEFORE COVID

Unsealed DOJ documents from the Epstein trove reportedly include 2011 emails laying out a sophisticated playbook for monetizing future pandemics through hidden financial structures.

Epstein personally urged JPMorgan's elite asset management boss to create offshore arms and donor advised funds tied to Bill Gates initiatives explicitly designed to rake in cash under the guise of charity.

‘I Regret, I Apologize’: Bill Gates Responds After Epstein Files Release Revives Scrutiny Over Past Ties With Jeffrey Epstein
Neerja Mishra, February 5, 2026

Bill Gates has once again found himself under intense public scrutiny after newly released US Justice Department documents revived questions about his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While the files do not accuse Gates of any crime, they include references and allegations that have renewed debate around judgment, accountability and transparency among powerful public figures.
Bill Gates has strongly denied the claims, expressed deep regret over his interactions with Epstein, and apologised publicly. The disclosures have also reopened conversations about how this chapter affected his personal life, including his marriage to Melinda French Gates.
What Did Bill Gates Say About Jeffrey Epstein?
Bill Gates addressed the controversy directly in an interview with Australia’s 9News, calling his time with Epstein a serious mistake. “Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologize,”
Bill Gates said he met Epstein in 2011 and had several dinners with him over the following three years. He maintained that his interactions were limited and driven by philanthropic goals, particularly around global health funding.
“The focus was always, he knew a lot of very rich people, and he was saying he could get them to give money to global health. In retrospect, that was a dead end,” Bill Gates also made it clear that he never visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island and denied any inappropriate relationships.
.....
Bill Gates Wife Melinda Gates Reacts to Epstein Files Release
Melinda French Gates responded to the document dump in an interview with US National Public Radio, describing the emotional toll the revelations have had on her. “For me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up,”
She said the resurfacing of Epstein-related information brought back painful memories from the final years of her marriage.
“Whatever questions remain there of what — I can’t even begin to know all of it — those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband. They need to answer to those things, not me.”
Did It Affected Bill Gates & Melinda Gates Marriage?
While neither Bill Gates nor Melinda Gates has publicly linked Epstein directly to the breakdown of their marriage, Melinda has previously acknowledged that Bill Gates’ association with Jeffrey Epstein caused deep discomfort and strain.
Her recent comments suggest that the issue left lasting emotional scars, even after their 2021 divorce. The renewed media focus has again placed their former relationship under a microscope.

To understand the US -- note the toadies that Trump has nominated as ambassadors.

Note that the Polish speaker's comments were in response to a campaign to get governments in Europe to nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize - he did not become critical of Trump's claim to the Nobel Prize out of nowhere.

US ambassador cuts ties with Polish parliament speaker
The diplomatic row comes after Sejm speaker Czarzasty said Donald Trump didn't "deserve" the Nobel Peace Prize.
https://www.dw.com/en/us-ambassador-ros ... a-75832922
The United States' ambassador to Poland, Tom Rose, said he was cutting all contact with Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, the speaker of the country's lower house of parliament, known as the Sejm.

Rose accused Czarzasty of making "outrageous and unprovoked insults directed against [US President Donald Trump]."
What were these insults?
Via Politico:
Czarzasty on Monday said Trump “does not deserve” the prize — something the U.S. president openly covets. He said Trump had disrespected Poland as an ally by saying in December that America’s NATO allies had not offered much support to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.
Trump has also been “destabilizing” international organizations such as the U.N. and the World Health Organization, Czarzasty added.
... in a later response to Polish online criticism, Rose undermined the close military ties with Poland, writing on his private X account: “Should we take all our soldiers and equipment with us?”

Deepak Chopra wrote many books about Jesus and openly claimed he is Christian by religion. He converted but kept is name.

It is funny some conservative Christian groups are using Deepak to bash Hinduism

Meanwhile 99% of people in Epstein Files are of Christan faith.

He is Christian but seeks god everywhere.

This is uber gibberish even by Chopra’s low status.

FYI, I think there is an old school Brahmin in the apple machine. It auto corrected chopra to choora.

The overnight post from the President of the United States is nothing but vile, racist filth. He should be ashamed of himself.

Taking it down is not enough. The White House must apologize for this beyond disgusting behavior.


Trump removes racist video depicting the Obamas as apes
The White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.
