Bill Gates' & WHO's Malaria Eradication Plan Backfires: Pesticide-Resistant Mosquitos

Though completely predictable, the Gates Foundation's mosquito eradication program is floundering. Why did they push a plan that was doomed to failure?

The Gates Foundation and World Health Organization's (WHO) plans for eradication of malaria-carrying mosquitos is failing—and making the situation worse. Their arrogance is turning a devastating situation into one that's even worse. Naturally, though, they have pictures and tales and statistics that appear to prove their success—and as their program turns sour, nary a word is heard from them...Well, except for more claims of success.

The results are starting to come in. In Senegal, after an impressive drop-off in malaria for the first two years of mosquito netting, malaria is back at higher levels than before in adults and older children. The mosquitos, as the experience of decades predicted, have started to develop resistance to the pesticide used.

The Gates Foundation was criticized by the WHO's own director of malaria programs, Arata Kochi. In 2008, he wrote to WHO's Director-General, Margaret Chan, expressing concern that Gates Foundation money might have "far-reaching, largely unintended consequences." He further stated that:

1. They were now locked into a cartel of Gates-related research funding.
2. Each agency and individual involved "has a vested interest to safeguard the work of the others".
3. Therefore, obtaining independent research results "is becoming increasingly difficult".

What's the Purpose of the Mosquito Net Campaign?

Unsurprisingly, Kochi is no longer with the WHO. Whistleblowers are no more popular there than most other places. His enormous success in dealing with tuberculosis and malaria couldn't stand against the Gates juggernaut. As a result of ignoring him, we are facing an ever worsening malaria menace.

The WHO's involvement is easy to understand. The agency, as has been clearly documented by the swine flu fiasco, is corrupt. It goes where the money is. But why would the Gates Foundation, with all the brain-power at its disposal, opt to pour billions into a program doomed to failure?

Could it be that the real purpose of the mosquito net push was to give an impression of success, so that more money could be pumped into the rest of the malaria program? Given that it was a near-sure thing that mosquito nets would worsen the problem, is there another possibility?

As it turns out, the Gates Foundation is busily supporting the development of malaria vaccines and drugs. And that should come as no surprise, since the Gates Foundation is heavily invested in corporations that would profit from their sales, and most of the Foundation's principal players have associations with outfits that benefit.

So, the fact that the mosquito net campaign is making the malaria situation worse may not be a real concern to the Gates Foundation. It is, first and foremost, an organization set up to help turn the world into a profit center for its purposes. And it's brilliant at that! The Gates Foundation is invested in the corporations that stand to benefit from its activities, as documented in Gates, Monsanto, and Monopoly: Foundation Keeps Wealth in the Club.

The Gates Foundation works with the Merck pharmaceutical corporation in developing malaria vaccines. The Gates Foundation is also a major Merck stock holder. Success in producing a malaria vaccine—whether it works or not—naturally would result in profits returning to the Gates Foundation.

The Gates Foundation has an investment in Monsanto, while it promotes and funds genetic modification. A close look at its investments shows that the Foundation benefits from the very things it promotes.

Better yet—from the Foundation's point of view—is its ability to get most of its money for these programs from you and me. The hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars given to it by governments and unelected agencies like the WHO, come out of our pockets. So, we the people are the real funders of the Gates Foundation. And we the people are the ones providing the money for the faux research and promotion of products by the Foundation.

Gates Foundation Investments

The companion piece to this article is Gates Foundation Investments: Entire List, a complete listing of the Gates Foundation investments, as of their tax return in 2009, the most recent year it's available. Take a look and make up your own mind. Here's a small sample from the list:

This is a list of some of the most abusive corporations in the world! They produce some of the most toxic products, rape the earth, and treat human beings, animals, and the earth with utter disdain. And it's only a tiny portion of them. They have an interest in around 800 corporations. There's clearly no concern about where they're based or what they do.

The first statement of the Gates Foundation's home page reads, "Our belief that every life has equal value is at the core of our work at the foundation." If what they mean by that is their willingness to invest in any corporation that rapes the earth and destroys lives with equal aggressiveness, I suppose that might be true.
