Do you see connections everywhere you look? Are you wondering about the great awakening and how it will affect you? Thanks for joining me, Anne Corbin and my guests. As we offer you different perspectives and analyses of current issues, together with advice on health, wealth, and relationships, as we navigate those storms together, not forgetting the systems available to us from metaphysics Anne our own higher selves.
I'm in the rather fortunate position of not having to associate with anyone I really dislike. Of course, my family is unfortunately tiny, but the thing is there are no longer countless relatives to parley with it gatherings, but joking apart, it's really only so called celebrities and politicians that trigger me. And that in itself is, for me, quite a new expression. I know for certain that I learned it only during lockdown, from one of the early online zoom courses that I attended.
And I didn't know what it meant to start with, although the meaning, well, it's pretty obvious, really. So yes, there are certain faces that are constantly on our screens Whether it's the TV, the, the phone, the computer, the iPad, whatever, it's still a screen. And most definitely, some of them trigger me. Anne they make me want to reach for the off switch, to be quite honest, with all speed.
I'm also fortunate enough to know at least 2 techniques to counteract these triggering occurrences, which really help. 1 is central channel breathing Anne one is a technique from ECT, which is emotional change therapy. But a podcast isn't really the ideal place to scribe them. So if you'd like more information, contact me privately through Awaken Dot Plus.
As you may have guessed from previous podcasts, some of the people I least like watching or listening to are Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, and numerous politicians, specifically Gordon Brown, and Tony Blair, the discredited war criminal, who still won't shut up. Rishi Sunak, and Joe Biden. Well, he's a puppet. The the real one's probably dead, but it's widely thought that the one we see is controlled by Obama who is quietly enjoying his 3rd term as US president.
I think quietly is the wrong word, silently, perhaps I should say. Which brings to mind a hilarious video clip that I saw on Telegram of that White House press secretary, the ridiculously young you were marrying it, who doesn't know her derriere from her elbow, she committed an Oscar winning Freudian slip saying, Today, as you all saw Anne hour or so ago, President Obama said that, oh pardon me. I mean, president Biden said, and so she carried on.
Heather knows how they appointed her in the first place. Maybe she's an Obama relative. There has to be some reason, but she's so clueless. I don't think she knows what day of the week it is, and If asked, she couldn't tell you what color the red arrows are. Apologies. I'm digressing. I intended to speak about Bill Gates and specific the fortune he has made from philanthropy. That is so called philanthropy.
Since his exit in, somewhat in disgrace from Microsoft in 2008, Gates co founded Microsoft in 1975 with Paul Allen, who was the computer genius, and Gates was just a programmer and a college dropout. He liked to be known as a geek, but opinions vary on his capabilities. And certainly his personality has always been questionable. You may possibly have seen those black and white video clips from the Federal Trade Commission inquiry into Microsoft.
It's Bill Gates giving his testimony, and he was, speaking on behalf of Microsoft when they were accused of abusing their monopoly in the PC operating system market. In Gates's deposition, he was described by one of the judges as evasive and non responsive. In short, he was a very annoying and unhelpful witness. And one of the outcomes of the trial was that in 2000, Microsoft was ordered to be broken up. Microsoft appealed, of course, and things dragged on, But Gates stepped down as CEO.
He stayed on as chairman, though, until 2008. But the outcome that's had so much impact on the world this century is that Gates was at this point desperate to clean up his reputation. So exit Microsoft and switch your attention to your foundation. Now, Gates came from a wealthy family, and his mother was well connected in business in her own right.
She was largely responsible for Microsoft's connection with IBM, which was a huge stroke of luck for them when they were just a young five year old company basically going nowhere. Struggling. When Microsoft went public a few years later, Gates immediately became a multimillionaire. He and his father set up the William H Gates Foundation. It's both of their names in 1994.
Anne in 2000, he combined that with his learning foundation, and they became the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which he then formed with his then wife, Melinda. Now it seems to me that these foundations are set up by the super wealthy as reputation fixes. John De Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie are both regarded as great philanthropists who did so much good. But they both had terrible reputations to rescue.
And of course, they had the funds to spend on the PR necessary which was in its infancy back at the beginning of the last century, and they set up Very large charities, which still fund activities today in current times.
But back in the early days of the last century, those magnanimous contributions to organizations like the AMS, that's the American medical society and various educational institutions, they came with long, long strings attached and were conditional on the funds being spent only in carefully specified directions. Look it up. And start, if you like, with my podcasts number 31 Anne number 21. Now tax wise, It makes very good sense to operate your business from a nonprofit.
In the UK, a nonprofit would be called a charity. Anne the difference between a regular business and a non profit is that a non profit or charity doesn't pay tax. I'll say that again. A non profit is a business that doesn't pay tax. So say you are running a thriving company, liable to corporation tax in the UK or federal corporate income tax in the US. You will get tax relief for your profits if you make donations to charity, won't you?
And of course, all your companies can donate to your nonprofit, not just one of them. So you can wash your taxable profits into the tax free foundation, charity, which has, therefore, a kind of a guaranteed income stream with which it can fund its operations.
Anne then you, and your friends, can swan around the world at The nonprofit's expense, 1st class, of course, being an ambassador for the nonprofit, hosting Gala fundraisers Anne bringing in even more money from folk who think that the money they give you is going to a good cause. While you, the founder, or the ambassador, are hailed as some kind of paragon, Everyone thinks you're an all round good guy. You're a wealthy person who's giving something back. Big pets on the back.
On an ongoing basis. And all this is before we even consider the business that the nonprofit is engaged in. Free of tax. Remember. Suppose the nonprofit provides vaccines for the poor. In developing countries. And one of your companies Anne vaccines, or maybe you need to purchase 1 and banned its operations well now. Your operating company has a guaranteed major client or customer being your own non profit.
So your Anne business gets a major income boost from a very reliable customer whom essentially it can charge what it likes because there won't be any argument. And you, as owner director, can be paid in shares instead of or as well as salary Anne shareholders do very well. Out of this kind and referring to Bill Gates, whose enormous wealth has grown exponentially since he switched from Microsoft to vaccinations. He has partnered with 2 of the largest names in America.
Anthony Fauci, who has had the vaccine industry in the US and Worldwide. Comprehensively in his clutches since Reagan's time. That's 40 years ago. Anne Warren Buffet is the other person who gave Bill Gates' investment advice. As well as becoming a major investor in the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. No one knows a great investment better than Warren Buffett. These multimillionaires in the 1%.
Also know the loopholes that allows them to pay only tiny percentages of their own wealth in taxation. Allowing their net words to keep on growing. While the fortunes of the 99%, in other words, the rest of us, are eaten away by taxation, by inflation, and by unfair government policies. Back to Gates and his vaccines. 2 of his most often quoted statements are, firstly, from an essay in the Wall Street Journal.
My investments in Garvey, the Global Fund, Anne the global polio eradication fund have had a far greater return than if the funds had been invested elsewhere. He actually estimates it's a greater than 20 to 1 return. And now, you know, why Gavi, also known as the vaccine alliance, was set up by the Bill Anne McGinda Gates Foundation also in 1999. And Gavi is gigantic with its tentacles everywhere, especially during the COVID situation. From his TED talk in 2010, about reducing population.
He said, the world today has 6.8000000000 people. That's headed up to about 9,000,000,000. If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health Corbin and reproductive services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 to 15%. An outcry by the fact checkers at Google say that this statement is take an out of context, quote, unquote. But if like me, you keep an eye on social media, You will have seen that video clip because it's a very popular one.
So I'm just about out of time, but I'll continue on the vaccine topic week, and I will cover some much more critical information than Bill Gates's in decent wealth. Please join me it's a critically important subject. So friends, if you enjoyed this content and would rather not wait until next week for more of the same, you are warmly invited to check out my new membership program.
