Bill Gates appeared on Meet the Press Sunday with some startling news. Well, maybe not so startling considering the source.

He is just the latest tech CEO to go public with a “warning” that if left unchecked, artificial intelligence will lead to a mass die-off of human beings. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, among others, have recently issued similar warnings. Whenever you see a long string of powerful billionaires collaborating with the corporate media to push out a singular message, you know something is up and there’s more to it than meets the eye. Can you spell PSYOP?

On the other side of the ledger we have the opposite extreme being peddled by President Donald Trump, who doesn’t want any regulation of AI. The president gushes with what amounts to public adoration of the technology as a type of god that will lead America into his long-touted “Golden Age” of global dominance. He’s even tried rebranding AI to SI, or “Super Intelligence.”

Fox News reports:

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could cause “a billion deaths” if left unchecked in the latest push to regulate AI on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

During his interview, Gates, who previously warned that AI could be the “greatest equalizer” or “worst source of injustice” without some level of human regulation, stopped short of answering whether the technology could “end all of humanity” but argued that it could drive events that would lead to significant deaths.

“AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths,” Gates said. “You know, so even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100%, there’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.”

Here we have the guy who has publicly argued for global depopulation supposedly warning us that AI could lead to exactly that. And we are supposed to believe this is genuine?

Watch Gates pour it on thick about his supposed concerns with regard to AI.

Notice billionaires like Gates, Altman and Amodei never say a word about the very real and imminent dangers of World War III and a nuclear holocaust. We have Russia and the U.S./NATO beating war drums like we never saw during the Cold War, with both sides openly threatening to use nuclear weapons. But that’s not worth even a mention. Nor do they talk about the growing global food crisis just waiting to metastasize into famine. They want us to focus on AI.

Gates says AI is different than any other technology created by man. He sees it as an all new species.

“We have created an intelligent species that, in many respects, is already smarter than we are. And, over the next several years, at an exponentially improving level, it will be insanely smarter than we are,” Gates says, as he flashes that all-too familiar evil grin. “There’s no sort of individual boundaries like humans having to educate each other.”

It’s worth pointing out that when Gates talks about the potential for AI to cause a billion deaths, he is also unable to stop himself from smiling. Is that a normal response when “warning” about such a dark outcome for humanity?

Yes, I believe it’s totally plausible that AI could be used to kill a billion or more people, and in fact may have already accomplished that feat with the AI-created gene-sequencing projects that have created synthetic viruses and led to what they now call mRNA “vaccines.” The U.S. government agency that is supposed to serve as a watchdog over the pharmaceutial industry just approved a new round of mRNA injections, and this is something Gates loudly cheers as a good thing.

So all he is trying to do with his phony warnings is to distract and divert our attention away from the real threat as it relates to AI.

But Trump, by arguing for totally unfettered AI, is also throwing out a phony position on this issue.

It’s my sense that neither side is telling the truth (imagine that!), which is somewhere in the middle. AI will do great damage to humanity because it is based on the concept of ultimate man-sourced knowledge without God, the only true source of wisdom in the world. When has that ever led to anything good?

But Gates and the other tech CEOs who have been pushing the narrative that AI will lead to billions of human deaths are fear-mongering for the purpose of advancing their own dark agenda, which is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy. They want to be the only ones with access to the most powerful AI systems so they can maximize their control over humanity and thereby help bring the global control grid into full reality.

Perhaps they are even planning to use it to wipe out billions of people, so they are setting the stage for that scenario by blaming the technology itself rather than the wicked corporate titans who have developed it and plan to weaponize it in partnership with governments. By coming out with their warnings, they give themselves an alibi and can come back later and say “we tried to tell you this was a real threat to humanity.” This weaponization is a process already taking place with the construction of thousands of AI data centers, in combination with the rollout of 6G wireless tech. As they invest trillions in the development of these tools of tyranny on the one hand, they warn us about a dystopian Skynet/Terminator future on the other hand. How very clever. And satanic.

Jacob Thompson at The Winepress nailed it with this summation of Gates and his likely true motives.

Don’t blame me, blame AI!

This recent wave of AI ataxia is more fearmongering and a diversion, not that I defend this whole wave of AI for various reasons that I have written about previously, but clearly there is a ploy to blame all these manufactured problems on AI.

Manufacture supply chain breakdowns and closures? Blame AI. Artificially induced famine via supply chain collapse, manufactured droughts and pollinator culling? Blame AI. A new super virus (they’ll say) escaped a lab? Blame AI for creating it (supposedly). People dying of heart attacks all of a sudden? Blame AI for creating the shots. Countries start dropping the nukes, cyberattacks against critical infrastructure? Blame rogue AI. A billion people die? Blame AI.

Don’t blame Billy G, don’t lampoon the Gates of Hell himself, no, just blame AI.
