Is Bill Gates a modern witch? COVID conspiracy theories involving billionaire similar to witch hunt

[Michie]

Bill Gates is planning to microchip the world through a COVID-19 vaccine. The 5G networks scattered around the world are causing people to catch coronavirus. COVID-19 was spread by Maine lobsters shipped to China.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given birth to some outrageous conspiracy theories packed with misinformation like the ones above, and new research from UCLA sheds light on how these false narratives developed.

One of the researchers on the project was University of California, Berkeley professor Timothy Tangherlini, who teaches a class on the application of social network analysis methods to the study of Old Norse sagas.

"The narrative structures are of course the same – as humans growing up in cultural groups, we've become incredibly adept at telling stories that help explain how the world works, and why it looks the way it does," Tangherlini told USA TODAY.

Turns out, the missing link between different modern conspiracy theories often lies in the one-and-only Bill Gates, billionaire philanthropist and founder of Microsoft.

What an evil man.

AstraZeneca has admitted its Covid vaccine caused the condition that killed Gareth's BBC presenter wife. So why won't he and their son see a penny in compensation?​

Some people will believe anything!!

Bill Gates is one thing for sure... a very very very wealthy man that has a belief that what he wants is "right". He has the power through his wealth to do things that others cannot.

This is why we elect our leaders. We have them in power as a voice for the masses. When people with mega wealth decide that they want control.. they simply buy those who have been elected into power... by the people.

This is the beginning of the end for the masses. The leaders, who they elect, are corrupted and do the bidding of those not elected buy with more money than small countries.

They use money, black mail them with loss of power or personal disgrace... They also threaten the safety of near and dear loved ones. They operate above all laws and are restricted by no borders.

Their goal is to destroy freedom, liberty and personal happiness. They also despise God as they are completely under the spell of the enemy.

They polarize people through the schools, media, politics, race, social beliefs and culture. Divide and conquer. When it's too late..... the people realize how foolish they have been.
