As the old saying goes, “prior planning prevents piss-poor performance.” You will see how the planners of this plot took that to heart. They fine-tuned every detail of this plot—not leaving anything to chance.
But first… a new leader in world health comes to the fore.
Bill Gates Philanthropist - January 2000
In January of 2000, Bill Gates stepped down as the chief executive officer of Microsoft and started the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and several other health organizations under the umbrella of The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at his foundation.
In January 2019, Bill Gates told CNBC that investing in vaccines over twenty years has created a 20-to-1 return for the Gates Foundation. He turned $10 billion into $200 billion by investing mainly in three groups: GAVI, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
As you are no doubt aware, Bill Gates has a tremendous amount of influence on global health initiatives. Partly because he is one of the biggest donors to the World Health Organization, but also because the current director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is a friend of the Gates and worked for one of the Gates Foundation’s charities (The Global Fund to Fight AIDS). There is no doubt, that Bill and Melinda had a great deal of influence on his appointment in July 2017.
Oh, and Tedros is not a medical doctor but was chosen ahead of two more eminently qualified candidates and physicians. Dr. Peter Nabarro and Dr. Sania Nishtar
Tedros was a bad boy in Ethiopia when he was the Health Minister (2005-2012). He helped Ethiopia‘s regime to cover up three cholera epidemics. As a senior member of the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF), designated a terrorist organization by the United States in the 1990s, Tedros ―was a crucial decision-maker in relation to security service actions that included killing, arbitrarily detaining, and torturing Ethiopians and was ―personally responsible for brutal repression of the Amhara people, using aid money selectively to starve them out and deny them access to basic services.
War crimes for which charges of genocide have recently been submitted against him at the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
In May 2022, eight African nations refused to sign the WHO’s International Pandemic Treaty? It would appear Africa knows the real Tedros Adhanom.
Does Bill Gates?
Planning Seminars
When the Pentagon develops a war plan, they perform a military exercise to test their plan. Then they evaluate and improve their plan. Another military exercise is held and the process continues until all problems are identified. Then the plan is fine-tuned to the point of readiness for war.
The following seminars and exercises used the same principles in preparation for a pandemic. Each exercise improved on the last, but all shared these common themes. By now, you should be very familiar with them:
A Deadly novelle viral strain will kill millions
There will be subsequent deadly effects on economies, industries, tourism, and supply chains
Leniency will be blamed for virus containment failures
China is praised for the quick imposition of lockdowns that saved millions of lives
World leaders are required to immediately stockpile medical supplies including test kits, face masks, and scanning thermometers.
Face masks and temperature scans will be mandatory at public places like grocery stores, airports, and train stations.
Citizens are required to up privacy for “the common good”.
Post pandemic control measures will remain and are intensified.
Speedy vaccine development will be a high priority
Here are the exercises…
A brief summary is provided for each one and a link for those who want to read the full document.
Dark Winter - 22-23 June 2001 (Johns Hopkins)
Nineteen years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, this exercise was held at Andrews AFB, Washington, DC, and included 3 fictional National Security Council (NSC) meetings taking place over a period of 14 days.
The key players included the actual state governors, US senators, the CIA director, the FBI director, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and invited media reporters.
The fictional scenario depicted a bioterrorist-induced national security crisis (in this case, a covert smallpox attack on US citizens). The purpose was to prepare the planned response by senior officials to such an attack.

Interesting to note, that on November 19, 2020, President-elect Joe Biden warned of a “dark winter still ahead.” CNN - Biden warns of dark winter
Atlantic Storm - 14 January 2005 (Johns Hopkins)
Fifteen years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, another exercise simulated a bioterrorist attack to demonstrate the weakness of international public health and security systems when dealing with a sudden outbreak of highly infectious diseases.
The fictitious scenario was a fake meeting on 14 January 2005, where ten heads of government from Europe and North America and the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO; Geneva, Switzerland) were scheduled to meet for a ‘Transatlantic Security Summit' in Washington, DC, USA, to discuss the threat of international terrorism. On the eve of the meeting, news broke that citizens from several European countries appeared to have become ill with smallpox; shortly thereafter suspected smallpox cases appeared in the USA. A radical terrorist group had obtained seed strains of Variola major—the virus causing smallpox—and deliberately released the virus in a number of main transport hubs and sites of commerce throughout Europe and North America.

Operation Lockstep - 20 August 2010 (Rockefeller Foundation)
Five years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Rockefeller Foundation conducted a seminar to explore the future of technology and identify ways to better respond to emerging challenges. One of the scenario narratives was titled: “Lock Step” - A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.
Many of the policies and tactics used during the COVID-19 pandemic are mentioned in the Operation Lockstep scenario.
Lock Step caused a furor when conspiracy theorists realized the exercise mirrored what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, this report was scrubbed from the Rockefeller Foundation website. The Skeptical Investigator found it, however. The Lock Step Scenario is on page 18 of the report entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.
CLADE-X - 15 May 2018 (Johns Hopkins)
Seven months prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Clade X was held as a one-day pandemic exercise that simulated a series of National Security Council–convened meetings dealing with an epidemic response similar to Dark Winter and Atlantic Storm.
Utilizing actual previous pandemics as a basis, Clade X identified important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention.
Key takeaways from this exercise were shared broadly within the US government, global policymakers and the preparedness community, and the general public via the media. Here’s an example of how they endeavored to put everyone on the same pandemic page with coverage like this which includes a 4-minute video:
The picture is becoming clearer with each of these events. A worldwide pandemic is coming and everyone should be prepared.
Wuhan, China - Virus Simulation - 18 September 2019
Three months before the COVID-19 pandemic the Chinese Government ran a mock exercise at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport where they simulated the response to a novel coronavirus strain that had entered their country. This drill was held exactly 30 days before the key date of October 18th, 2019 – the same date when the Wuhan Military Games began and also the very same date when Event 201 (Big Pharma, Bill Gates, China’s CDC, America’s CDC, etc.) was held in the USA which was also simulating a ‘fictional’ scenario of how to handle a coronavirus epidemic.
What a coincidence, huh?
Jennifer Zeng, a brave Chinese journalist, risked her life to obtain part of the Wuhan Airport exercise report. You can read her article here: Wuhan Airport Exercise

Event-201 - 18 October 2019
Two months before the Covid-19 pandemic began Event 201 was held as the final preparation for it. It simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based discussions resulting from a deadly but “scientifically possible” worldwide pandemic.
Event 201 was sponsored by Johns Hopkins University, The World Economic Forum, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. (Remember Bill Gates's comments above on a 20-to-1 return on investment in vaccines?)
Discussions with government and business leaders resulted in the actions taken worldwide to control a pandemic. One of the common recommendations was the stockpiling of supplies before anyone knew about COVID-19. As you will read below, millions of kilograms of COVID-19 PCR test kits were imported and exported to countries in 2017 and 2018.
These pages have been scrubbed by the World Integrated Trade Solution (UN organization) and are no longer available. Fortunately, I downloaded them before that happened.
You will note on the above web pages that the PCR test kits are on the “COVID-19 medical supplies list.” This was in 2017 and 2018!
The Skeptical Investigator asks:
“How did all these governments know that in three years there would be a pandemic called COVID-19?”
The stage is set…
After all these exercises were complete, governments and health agencies around the world were on the same page when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in December 2019. The World Health Organization in conjunction with government health agencies was in control.
This explains the lock-step actions taken by governments and corporations well before the pandemic began:
Printing of COVID-19 precautions and warning signs, social distancing posters, and floor stickers.
Ordering handheld infra-red thermometers, point-of-sale protective shields, hand sanitizer dispensers, and social distancing floor stickers with custom store logos.
All the above items were pre-ordered well in advance, stockpiled, and ready for distribution when the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Government leaders around the world were in lock-step agreement with all the measures used to combat COVID-19. They implemented all the actions listed above. They even utilized the same verbiage in speeches and on posters. UK PM Boris Johnson, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, US President Joe Biden, and other leaders used the terms “Build Back Better” and “Great Reset”.
When the “next pandemic” is announced by the World Health Organization and measures are put in place to combat it, watch as world leaders announce identical measures.
Proving, once again, that “We’re all in this together!”
Until next time, remember curious and skeptical is a good place to be.
