<div class="code-block code-block-3">
<div>
<p>Kenya, a hub for Gates’ experimental vaccines and medical trials, has become a battleground as lawsuits from victims of experimental vaccine rollouts pile up against him.</p>
<p>The High Court issued orders suspending the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s special status, which included <a href="https://www.tuko.co.ke/business-economy/566550-rutos-govt-grants-gates-foundation-special-status-diplomatic-immunity-privileges-kenya/">diplomatic immunity</a> and privileges including tax-exempt status, pending the hearing of a case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK).</p>
<p>The Gates Foundation is heavily invested in Kenya, and claims to <em>“fund tools and technologies in agriculture, health, immunization, nutrition, sanitation, financial services, gender equality, family planning and more”</em> in the East African nation.</p>
<p>This comes against the backdrop of an ongoing suit against Gates before a Dutch court in the Netherlands that ruled that he must face trial after seven individuals filed a lawsuit claiming injury from COVID-19 vaccines.</p>
<p>The ruling was made after seven plaintiffs claimed to have suffered adverse effects after being vaccinated during at the height of the pandemic.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">“Bill Gates has just been indicted…”</p>
<p>“He’s been indicted in the Netherlands for lying to the public about the ‘Covid Vaccine’…”</p>
<p>“He’s going to have to go to trial…”</p>

<p>The Informer <a href="https://theinformer.co.ke/69242/high-court-suspend-special-status-granted-to-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-amid-covid-19-suit-in-netherlands-against-bill-gates/">report</a>: The Kenyan government’s move to grant Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation immunity in the country has been challenged by the lawyers’ body, which argues that it should be declared null and void.</p>
<p>Prime Cabinet Secretary and CS for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi in legal notice number 157 of October 4, 2024, exercised the powers conferred by section I of the Privileges and Immunities Act to confer special status on The Gates Foundation.</p>
<p>The Foundation is chaired by US Billionaire businessman and Microsoft founder Bill Gates who also doubles up as a philanthropist.</p>
<p>In a suit Bill Gates is facing in the Netherlands, Pfizer Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Albert Bourla, former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and key members of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 response team as co-defendants.</p>
<p>The case could set a precedent for how global health leaders and pharmaceutical executives are held accountable for their roles in the pandemic.</p>
<p>The complainants have sued the philanthropist, former Dutch Prime Minister and current NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, members of the Dutch government’s Covid-19 Outbreak Management Team, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and the Dutch state itself.</p>
<p>According to a Dutch publication, last year, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit naming Gates as one of the “experts” who made several claims about the Covid-19 experimental vaccines.</p>
<p>The complainants argued that Gates, through his involvement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum (WEF), was involved in a far-reaching agenda known as “The Great Reset Project.”</p>
<p>The Great Reset initiative was an economic recovery plan drawn in June 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>
<p>According to its proponents and initiators, it was meant to facilitate rebuilding after the devastation occasioned by the pandemic in a way that prioritises sustainable development.</p>
<p>In the lawsuit, the complainants claimed that the agenda of the initiative included pushing for the uptake of unsafe vaccines.</p>
<p>Hence, they were deceived into taking the injections which have had devastating effects on them.</p>
<p>In 2020, Gates warned that developing a COVID-19 vaccine is only half the battle through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.</p>
<p><em>“Several vaccines are in human trials, we aren’t sure which vaccines will be the most effective yet, and each requires unique technology to make. That means nations need to invest in many different kinds of manufacturing facilities now, knowing that some will never be used. Otherwise, we’ll waste months after the lab develops an immunization, waiting for the right manufacturer to scale up.”</em> Gates said in his article in 2020.</p>
<p>The complainants further claimed that Gates made false statements about the vaccines promising that they would stop the virus transmission, prevent the illness, and eliminate the need for protective gear.</p>

<div class="code-block code-block-3">
<div>
<p>The ruling on November 25 was triggered after a legal challenge was filed by the Law Society of Kenya against the government. It is due to be reviewed on February 5, 2025.</p>
<p>So for the time being, the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation no longer has <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-foundation-diplomatic-immunity-kenya/">diplomatic immunity</a> and special privileges in Kenya.</p>
<p>While the ruling raises important questions about the power and privileges wielded by the likes of Gates and other super-wealthy philanthro-capitalists operating in developing countries, the news, which has been reported locally, has mostly been ignored by the international legacy/mainstream media….</p>
<p><a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/kenya-temporarily-suspends-diplomatic-immunity-gates-foundation/">The Defender </a>reports: The Kenyan government in October recognized the Gates Foundation and its employees as a charitable trust with special rights in Kenya, under the <a href="http://kenyalaw.org/kl/fileadmin/pdfdownloads/Acts/PrivilegesandImmunitiesActCap179.pdf">Privileges and Immunities Act</a>. The new status exempted the foundation and its employees in Kenya from legal action for acts performed in Kenya as part of official duties.</p>
<p>However, the <a href="https://thekenyatimes.com/breaking-news/court-stops-exclusive-privileges-for-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation/">Nov. 25 ruling</a> by Justice Bahati Mwamuye suspends the immunity until at least Feb. 5, 2025, when a court will “review progress and set a hearing date for oral submissions on the petition.”</p>
<p>The ruling also requires all defendants, including Kenya’s minister of foreign affairs and the State Law Office, “to <a href="https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2024/11/high-court-suspends-gates-foundation-privileges/">collect, preserve, and compile all documentation</a> regarding the privileges granted to the Gates Foundation, including details of the cooperation agreement,” under threat of <a href="https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/106708-court-suspends-govts-immunity-privileges-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-officials">legal consequences for non-compliance</a>.</p>
<p>The Gates Foundation and the Kenyan government have until Dec. 10 to respond, <a href="https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/national/92373/high-court-halts-immunity-privileges-granted-to-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation">Eastleigh Voice reported</a>.</p>
<p>The diplomatic privileges allowed the Gates Foundation “to engage in contracts, legal actions, and property transactions within the country” and granted the foundation “<a href="https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/106708-court-suspends-govts-immunity-privileges-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-officials">tax exemptions and immunity</a> from legal actions related to their official duties,” leaving many Kenyans “with raised eyebrows,” Kenyans.co.ke reported.</p>
<p>In its legal challenge, the <a href="https://lsk.or.ke/">Law Society of Kenya</a> said the immunity “<a href="https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2024/11/high-court-suspends-privileges-granted-to-gates-foundation-amid-legal-dispute/">undermines public interest and constitutional principles</a>” and argued that the government’s decision should be <a href="https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/national/92373/high-court-halts-immunity-privileges-granted-to-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation">declared null and void</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Gates ‘holds governments ransom’</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://brownstone.org/author/david-bell/">Dr. David Bell</a>, a public health physician and senior scholar at the Brownstone Institute, said the High Court’s suspension “shows the Kenyan system is functioning as it should.”</p>
<p>“From the point of view of the average Kenyan citizen, granting immunity to a large collection of foreigners working for a private foundation … with financial interests in the drugs they are being told to take should be really alarming,” Bell said.</p>
<p>Shabnam Palesa Mohamed, executive director of <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.co.za/">Children’s Health Defense Africa</a> and founder of the health advocacy organization <a href="https://thj-africa.org.za/">Transformative Health Justice</a>, said Gates “operates from a position of immense financial wealth and thus political clout. Through using mechanisms of the carrot (funding) and the stick (withdrawal of funding), he holds governments ransom.”</p>
<p>Mohamed called the Kenyan government’s decision to offer the Gates Foundation immunity “horrifying” and said it shows “our governments are <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/agency-capture/">captured</a>.”</p>
<p>She added:</p>
<p>“The negative consequences of this shocking decision are far-reaching. They include the erosion of accountability, unequal treatment in the law, damage to national sovereignty, the mockery of public transparency and participation.”</p>
<p><a href="https://sociable.co/author/timmy/">Tim Hinchliffe</a>, editor of <a href="https://sociable.co/">The Sociable</a>, said he believes Gates’ efforts to attain diplomatic immunity in countries like Kenya are connected to a profit motive.</p>
<p>“Wherever Gates goes, he stuffs his pockets under the guise of philanthropy while he sits back and collects his returns on investment, no matter the outcome,” Hinchliffe said.</p>
<p>“When you have that much wealth and power — when you have an organization that contributes more to the annual WHO [World Health Organization] budget than most nation-states — then you can buy your way into anything you want, including diplomatic immunity,” Hinchliffe said. “But, that immunity can only last so long.”</p>
<p>For other experts, Gates’ drive to attain diplomatic immunity is an effort to shield himself from legal consequences for his actions and those of the Gates Foundation.</p>
<p><a href="https://merylnass.substack.com/">Dr. Meryl Nass</a>, founder of <a href="https://doortofreedom.org/">Door to Freedom</a>, told The Defender, “It should be assumed that no one entity would seek such immunity unless they thought they might be at risk of legal penalties.”</p>
<p>Nass added:</p>
<p>“Gates has been charged with many crimes, including for monopolistic business practices, for conducting a <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-indian-government-lawsuit-astrazeneca-vaccine-killed-shri-hitesh-kadve/">clinical trial involving girls in India</a> that was associated with child deaths and lack of informed consent. He has certainly been accused of <a href="https://usrtk.org/bill-gates/critiques-of-gates-foundation/">false advertising of agricultural products</a> in India and Africa.”</p>
<p><a href="https://law.illinois.edu/faculty-research/faculty-profiles/francis-boyle/">Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D.</a>, professor of international law at the University of Illinois, said, “It is pretty bizarre that they gave Gates privileges and immunities under their domestic legislation in the first place. Obviously, this was an attempt by Gates to shield himself and his accomplices from criminal prosecution and civil liability in Kenya.”</p>
<p>Gates is currently facing a <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-covid-vaccine-lawsuit-netherlands/">lawsuit in The Netherlands</a> filed by seven <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/covid/">COVID-19</a> vaccine injury victims, and faces legal challenges in at least one other country, <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-foundation-diplomatic-immunity-kenya/">India</a>, for damages connected to the vaccines.</p>
<p><strong>Gates immunity in Kenya sets ‘a dangerous precedent’</strong></p>
<p>The Gates Foundation previously defended the Kenyan government’s decision to grant it diplomatic immunity, stating that the foundation operates “according to the typical agreements Kenya makes with other foundations and nonprofits.”</p>
<p>Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi also defended the decision, describing it as a <a href="https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/national/92373/high-court-halts-immunity-privileges-granted-to-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation">routine diplomatic practice</a> and noting the foundation’s growing presence in Kenya — including the establishment earlier this month of a <a href="https://www.tuko.co.ke/business-economy/570260-blow-bill-gates-foundation-high-court-suspends-immunities-issued-by-kenyan-govt/">sub-regional office in Nairobi</a>, Kenya’s capital.</p>
<p>“The office will expand and enhance the Foundation’s work in healthcare, agriculture and ICT [information and communication technology] in Kenya,” <a href="https://www.tuko.co.ke/business-economy/570260-blow-bill-gates-foundation-high-court-suspends-immunities-issued-by-kenyan-govt/">Tuko reported</a>.</p>
<p>However, according to Capital FM, “The decision to extend diplomatic immunity has sparked widespread debate over accountability. Critics argue that the privileges shield the Foundation from legal scrutiny, setting a <a href="https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2024/11/high-court-suspends-privileges-granted-to-gates-foundation-amid-legal-dispute/">dangerous precedent</a>.”</p>
<p>Mohamed told The Defender that granting immunity to Gates in Kenya creates diplomatic and economic pressures on other African countries to offer similar legal exemptions. She said:</p>
<p>“Given Gates’ influence and the reach of his philanthropic initiatives across the continent, neighboring countries might feel compelled to follow Kenya’s lead to attract or retain Gates’ investments and programs, particularly in health, education, and agriculture. This could lead to a domino effect, where more African nations feel obligated to grant immunity.</p>
<p>“This will undermine the autonomy of African countries over their legal systems and create a tier of foreign actors operating outside the jurisdiction of local laws, weakening governance and setting a precedent where exemptions are granted based on wealth or influence, rather than merit or need, posing risks to legal sovereignty and equitable governance across the continent.”</p>
<p>Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of the <a href="https://home.solari.com/">Solari Report</a> and former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development, said the immunity granted to the Gates Foundation is part of an ongoing trend in which major international organizations are granted such privileges.</p>
<p>“Ever since we created a central bank with sovereign immunity in 1930 — the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) — we have seen the steady creation of international organizations that enjoy sovereign immunity, as well as international treaties that subvert national and local law,” Fitts said. “Not surprisingly this has been followed by the steady erosion of the rule of law and centralization of ownership and wealth … allowing a handful of elites to make war on the population and take assets.”</p>
<p>In the case of the Gates Foundation, Fitts said she believes “granting diplomatic immunity to the Gates Foundation lowers the cost of the foundation prototyping complete control with <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-foundation-digital-id-newborns-kenya-surveillance/">digital ID</a> while <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-gavi-invest-vaccinate-african-girls-hpv/">reducing their population with vaccines</a>.”</p>
<p>According to a 2022 <a href="https://www.coreysdigs.com/u-s/laundering-with-immunity-the-control-framework-part-1/">investigation by Corey Lynn</a>, “The U.S. has given 76 public international organizations immunities, privileges, and tax exemptions dating back to 1946, just 10 years after BIS expanded its immunities with the <a href="https://www.bis.org/about/protocol-en.pdf">Hague Convention of 1936</a>.”</p>
<p>An <a href="https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/gavi-recognised-international-institution">organization that enjoys such immunity</a> is Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance — an international public-private partnership promoting vaccination, <a href="https://www.gavi.org/operating-model/gavis-partnership-model/bill-melinda-gates-foundation">established in 1999 by the Gates Foundation</a>. The foundation holds one of the four permanent seats on Gavi’s board and heavily <a href="https://www.gavi.org/operating-model/gavis-partnership-model/bill-melinda-gates-foundation">funds the organization</a> to this day.</p>
<p>According to Lynn, “Almost immediately after World War II, Congress passed the <a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title22/chapter7/subchapter18&amp;edition=prelim">International Organizations Immunities Act</a>, which was signed into law on December 29, 1945. This established immunities, privileges, and tax exemptions for international organizations that might not be considered international organizations under the rules of international laws.”</p>
<p><strong>Gates’ involvement in Africa involves vaccines, agriculture, digital ID</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-foundation-diplomatic-immunity-kenya/">Gates’ massive investment in Africa</a> includes involvement in sectors such as agriculture, public health and more recently, <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-foundation-digital-id-newborns-kenya-surveillance/">digital IDs in Kenya</a>.</p>
<p>In October, Business Daily Africa reported that the Gates Foundation will advise Kenya on the rollout of <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/gates-foundation-to-advise-on-maisha-namba-rollout--4402224">Maisha Namba</a>, a new digital ID system. According to<a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/the-gates-foundation-pushes-for-digital-id-systems-despite-criticism"> Reclaim the Net</a>, “The plan envisages every newborn being assigned a Maisha Namba, which stays with them throughout their life.”</p>
<p>Many of the Gates Foundation’s investments in African agriculture are funded through the Nairobi-based <a href="https://agra.org/">AGRA</a>, previously known as the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa. The foundation is AGRA’s co-founder and biggest donor.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/11/10/open-letter-bill-gates-food-farming-and-africa">Gates/AGRA’s practices</a> have been <a href="https://www.rosalux.de/fileadmin/rls_uploads/pdfs/Studien/False_Promises_AGRA_en.pdf">criticized by human rights and environmental groups</a> — and by some <a href="https://mg.co.za/africa/2024-09-03-bill-gates-plays-god-in-africas-agriculture-and-gets-it-wrong/">African farmers</a>, who accused the Gates Foundation of “playing God” and using “its enormous political and monetary influence to crowd out alternative ideas.” Research has shown that <a href="https://sites.tufts.edu/gdae/files/2020/07/20-01_Wise_FailureToYield.pdf">AGRA-supported initiatives have failed</a>, sometimes leading to increased hunger.</p>
<p>The Gates Foundation’s activities in Africa also include the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/government-corruption/gates-globalist-vaccine-agenda-a-win-win-for-pharma-and-mandatory-vaccination/">development and distribution of vaccines</a>, a program to implement <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17312-bill-gates-helps-fund-mass-circumcision-programme/">mass circumcision in Swaziland and Zambia</a> to curb the transmission of HIV and the “<a href="https://targetmalaria.org/about-us/">Target Malaria</a>” project, which has proposed ending malaria by introducing genetically modified, or <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/epa-gmo-mosquitoes-malaria-cola/">GMO mosquitoes</a>.</p>
<p>According to Mohamed, “The Gates Foundation funds <a href="https://www.up.ac.za/faculty-of-humanities/news/post_1617442-the-bill-melinda-gates-foundatio-application-tender-for-grant-awards">university programs</a> and, in doing so, influences the policies and the programs’ direction.” The Gates Foundation and the European Union have invested over $100 million to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/eu-gates-foundation-invest-over-100-mln-euros-set-up-african-drugs-regulator-2022-02-15/">establish an African drugs regulator</a>.</p>
<p>Addressing opposition to Gates’ plans in Kenya, Hinchliffe said, “As we have seen time and again, when the people begin to wake up and rise up against injustice, that type of diplomatic immunity begins to disappear rather quickly.”</p>
<p>“If the Gates Foundation is granted immunity again, to me, that would be a red flag of massive corruption.”</p>

It includes a  <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202306/pilot-phase-of-biometric-vaccination-system-for-">biometric vaccination system for newborns</a> to replace birth certificates while also helping to track children from birth to 5 years old to ensure all children receive their vaccines.</p>
<p>Michael Nevradakis says “We have to wake up many more folks with truth from the non-conspiratorial trenches. The wireless devices that folks are adamant they unequivocally require to count their steps, run their — and their children’s — lives and homes, and keep them current with society are the same devices from which society is already set up for techno-totalitarianism.”</p>
<p>The following article was originally published in the Defender by senior reporter <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/authors/michael-nevradakis-ph-d/">Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.</a></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bill Gates Pushes Digital ID for Newborns in Kenya as Critics Warn of Surveillance Risk</strong></h3>
<p>The Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation is continuing its global push to support government-backed <a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/the-gates-foundation-pushes-for-digital-id-systems-despite-criticism">digital ID programs</a> — this time setting its sights on Kenya, where it will advise the government on that country’s “Maisha Namba” digital ID initiative currently under development, Reclaim the Net reports.</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://kenyan-post.com/2023/10/bill-gates-lands-a-lucrative-deal-just-after-meeting-ruto-see-what-he-will-be-doing-for-the-president-and-his-government/">Kenyan Daily Post</a>, Gates’ role in assisting the Kenyan government in its development and rollout of Maisha Namba was announced after a recent series of “closed-door meetings” with Kenyan President William Ruto.</p>
<p>“The billionaire, who is known to champion <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-genetically-engineered-seeds-world-hunger-ecological-disaster/">GMO [genetically modified organism] foods</a>, has met Ruto in a series of meetings since he came to power with most of the engagements shrouded in secrecy,” the Kenyan Daily Post wrote.</p>
<p>“The deal will connect the government to key technical experts and partners who will offer professional advice to guarantee a smooth rollout,” <a href="https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/93031-10-most-asked-questions-maisha-namba">Kenyans.co.ke reports</a>.</p>
<p>Alexis Hancock, director of engineering for the <a href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>, told <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/">The Defender</a> that such secrecy between governments and private entities is common.</p>
<p>“Outside companies often pitch solutions to various governments that they can solve their problem with their product,” she said. “If governments are to implement this, the technology involved should be allowed scrutiny by the people first before anything is deployed, and delayed if it is not considered safe and equitable.”</p>
<p>According to Biometric Update, Maisha Namba is “expected to address different challenges such as <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202310/kenyas-digital-id-boosted-by-gates-foundation-but-govt-struggles-to-convince-citizens">identifying and authenticating citizens</a>, safeguarding primary registration documents such as birth certificates and national identity cards and improving the management of social programmes and government operations.”</p>
<p>The identification number attached to Maisha Namba “will also be used to register for government services, including education, health insurance, tax and social security.”</p>
<p>But some experts said they believe the Maisha Namba program has other, unannounced, aims. Dr. Wahome Ngare, chairman of the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, told The Defender that Maisha Namba will operate as a vaccination tracking program.</p>
<p>“Maisha Namba — Kiswahili for ‘life number’ — is a <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202306/pilot-phase-of-biometric-vaccination-system-for-">biometric vaccination system for newborns</a> that will replace birth certificates and help track children from birth to 5 years of age,” Ngare said. “It will be used to monitor and ensure all children receive their vaccines.”</p>
<p>Ngare said the Maisha Namba trial was conducted between February and March and is now being rolled out by the government, most likely as part of Universal Health Coverage.</p>
<p>He attributed Gates’ involvement with Maisha Namba to the involvement of entities such as Microsoft and <a href="https://www.gavi.org/">Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance</a>.</p>
<p>Gavi says it “<a href="https://www.gavi.org/our-alliance/about">helps vaccinate almost half the world’s children</a> against deadly and debilitating infectious diseases.” It was established in 1999, with the Gates Foundation as one of its co-founders and one of its four permanent board members.</p>
<p>Gavi maintains a core partnership with UNICEF, the World Bank and the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-global-pandemic-treaty-world-bank-vaccine-passports/">World Health Organization</a> (WHO), which includes Gavi in its list of “<a href="https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/pdf_files/inb2/A_INB2_4-en.pdf">relevant stakeholders</a>.”</p>
<p>“On a deeper level and based on my understanding, Maisha Namba and the Maisha card are part of the larger international ID2020 initiative, sponsored by Gates through Gavi and Microsoft and their failed <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-eu-global-vaccine-passport-initiative/">vaccine passport</a>,” he said.</p>
<p>“For this reason, the full value and pain of the digital ID system will become known when the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/world-health-organization-disease-x-emergencies/">next pandemic is announced</a> by the World Health Organization, especially if the International Health Regulations are adopted next year,” Ngare added.</p>
<p>Ngare was referring to amendments to the existing <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-international-health-regulations/">International Health Regulations</a>, currently under negotiation by WHO members alongside a proposed “pandemic treaty.”</p>
<p>The <a href="https://id2020.org/">ID2020 Alliance</a> previously promoted the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-melinda-gates-foundation-investments-global-digital-id-system/">development of digital ID</a> and vaccine passports. <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/01/22/partnering-for-a-path-to-digital-identity/">Microsoft is a founding member</a> of the ID2020 Alliance, as are Gavi, the Gates Foundation, the World Bank, Accenture and the <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rockefeller-foundation-reset-the-table-covid-food-shortage-crisis/">Rockefeller Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>“If all goes according to plan, Bill Gates will not only inject billions of Africans with his mRNA vaccines,” Ngare said. “He has created a <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-global-digital-health-certificate/">digital ID system for governments around the world</a> to ensure nobody misses their vaccines and that those who refuse vaccination can be restricted from traveling or from accessing government services.”</p>
<p>Gates supported <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/gates-funded-biometric-digital-id-system/">biometric digital ID initiatives</a> around the world, including the first such program, Aadhaar, launched in India in 2009. <a href="https://www.oecd.org/gov/innovative-government/India-case-study-UAE-report-2018.pdf">Aadhaar</a> enrolled over 99% of all Indian adults, linking them with many <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/the-long-list-of-aadhaar-linked-schemes/article17641068.ece">public and private services</a>. The program has generated controversy, which <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/Development/Heroes-in-the-Field-Nandan-Nilekani">Gates has dismissed</a>.</p>
<p>Other experts also expressed concerns similar to those of Ngare. California-based privacy attorney <a href="https://www.gregglaser.com/attorney/">Greg Glaser</a> told The Defender, “Vaccine passports were a test run for global biometric ID,” adding:</p>
<p>“Biometric ID is to future dystopian society as batteries are to your TV’s remote control. Without the batteries, the remote control does nothing. Without biometric ID, dystopian technology fails: <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/great-reset-power-grab-social-credit-cola/">social credit scores</a>, <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/michael-rectenwald-digital-currencies-end-of-liberty/">central bank digital currencies</a> [<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/central-bank-digital-currencies-what-they-are/">CBDCs</a>], smart devices in the Internet of Things.</p>
<p>“All of these are rendered useless without the ability to integrate the masses into new technology systems through biometric identification.”</p>
<p>According to Glaser, there is a larger purpose to such efforts.</p>
<p>“<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/transhumanism-metaverse-digital-prison/">Transhumanism</a> is the endgame, and biometric ID is its Achilles heel,” Glaser said. “All of these things in our lives fundamentally depend on ID today: rights, citizenship status, affiliations, standing in court, accounts, privileges, services, land title and more. A person can hardly access any of the above without some form of ID, mostly meaning name but often numbers, which are increasingly linked to biometrics,” he said.</p>
<p>“Controlling people means controlling ID,” he added. “Even national governments are now wholly dependent on their organizational and corporate IDs.”</p>
<p>Similarly, Irene Polansky, a citizen who routinely participates in the <a href="https://wiredbroadbandinc.aweb.page/p/efde9bae-a437-4ca1-89d7-f308ef2b3538">National Call for Safe Technology</a> hosted by Wired Broadband Inc. and <a href="https://virginiansforsafetech.org/">Virginians for Safe Technology</a>, told The Defender that <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/covid/">COVID-19</a> was “a beta (compliance) test for what’s to come,” and to be wary of the touted benefits of new technologies such as digital ID.</p>
<p>“Otherwise, we — and our children’s lives and bodily autonomies and innate rights — and our pieces of the planet, our properties and our civil rights and our wallets — our hard-earned monies and financial means — will be collectively and tyrannically coerced and devoured to our objection or surprise,” she said.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Digital ID for newborns part of ‘vast opportunities’ Gates sees in Africa</strong></h3>
<p>Mark Suzman, CEO of the Gates Foundation, told <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/gates-foundation-to-advise-on-maisha-namba-rollout--4402224">Business Daily Africa</a> that his organization will connect the Kenyan government with technical experts and partners.</p>
<p>“Our role is always as an adviser. We can connect the government to key technical experts and partners, but we’re very encouraged by what we see and by the President’s commitment. We have a number of specific investment support on digital identity. We actually provide it to broader platforms,” he said.</p>
<p>According to Business Daily Africa, such assistance to the Kenyan government is part of what the <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/gates-foundation-to-advise-on-maisha-namba-rollout--4402224">Gates Foundation</a> sees as “vast opportunities that can be unlocked through the existence of a digital identity in Kenya.”</p>
<p>“This is a huge priority of President Willam Ruto, and we think very appropriately so because a strong, robust, open-source digital identity system actually becomes a platform that not only leverages financial inclusion, where Kenya is already a global leader, but can be a platform that actually drives important advances in health care, in education and other services,” Suzman said.</p>
<p>But the Gates Foundation is not the only global actor involved in the rollout of Maisha Namba. According to Kenya’s Capital News, the Kenyan government and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) signed a <a href="https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2023/08/kenya-undp-sign-mou-on-digital-id-development-ahead-of-october-rollout/">memorandum of understanding</a> in August to support the fledgling digital ID program.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/the-gates-foundation-pushes-for-digital-id-systems-despite-criticism">Reclaim the Net</a>, “The plan envisages every newborn being assigned a Maisha Namba, which stays with them throughout their life.” Nyandarua County Deputy Commissioner Rukia Chitechi said, “The system shall be run through schools by ensuring every child born is assigned a <a href="https://www.kenyanews.go.ke/nyandarua-residents-sensitized-on-maisha-namba/">maisha namba</a>.”</p>
<p><a href="https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/?Text=&amp;Goal=16&amp;Target=16.9">Target 16.9</a> of the <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals</a> (<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/global-police-un-sustainable-development-goals-cola/?utm_source=luminate&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=defender&amp;utm_id=20231018">SDGs</a>) calls for the provision of a digital legal identity for all, including newborns, by 2030.</p>
<p>According to Glaser, “The <a href="https://unlimitedhangout.com/2023/10/investigative-reports/sdg16-part-2-enforcing-digital-identity/">UN’s SDG Target 16.9</a> confirms that governments will be issuing everyone biometric ID by the year 2030, including babies … That means the UN is partnering with corporations and local governments to issue you and your children a biometric ID by 2030, whether you want the IDs or not.”</p>
<p>In a tweet, <a href="https://twitter.com/JuliusKBitok/status/1690999348094533632">Julius Kibet Bitok</a>, Kenya’s principal secretary for immigration and citizens services, said, “The digital identity system will provide Kenyans with a secure and reliable way to verify their identity for a variety of purposes, including accessing gov’t services, opening bank accounts, and traveling.”</p>
<p>“It will also help to reduce fraud and corruption, and improve efficiency,” he added.</p>
<p>Ngare questioned that theory. “On face value and if the government is the holder of the data and not third parties such as Microsoft or its minors, it may improve service delivery and reduce fraud as stated by government operatives,” Ngare said, adding that he doubted this would be the case.</p>
<p>Similarly, Hancock said, “If [digital ID is] done correctly, a factor of convenience may benefit people from having to travel long distances for renewing important documents, or issue temporary credentials as they await their official documentation. There are other methods, like ‘selective disclosure,’ where you do not have to display the entirety of your information but only what is required for a certain transaction.”</p>
<p>Hancock said she was concerned about how a “long-term, persistent identifier” could “be used to track people and create a surveillance state or be compromised over time by a bad actor looking to leak information tied to these unique identifiers.”</p>
<p>“Every time a digital ID holder uses their ID, there is an opportunity for the ID issuer and the ID verifier to gather personal data about the ID holder,” she added.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Concerns digital ID will lead to ‘permanent structure for state-level surveillance’</strong></h3>
<p>According to Biometric Update, “As the <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/kenyan-govt-assures-civil-society-digital-id-will-meet-data-protection-inclusion-goals">government seeks to win the trust</a> and confidence of the population with regard to the Maisha Card, it has also clarified that its issuance will not be compulsory,” but will instead be accepted as proof of legal ID alongside existing identification documents.</p>
<p>Yet, a separate <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/kenya-approves-maisha-namba-plans-launch-this-month-with-6-8m-budget">Biometric Update report</a> states, “A two-to-three-year transition is planned, with legacy national IDs being phased out.”</p>
<p>Hancock said she prefers “ephemeral IDs for transactions and the ability to discard them or change them when they get compromised.” She is “also concerned about mandates around digital ID and it possibly leading to a permanent structure for state-level surveillance.”</p>
<p>“People should have the ability to opt-out of digital first systems and a right to paper if they are not comfortable,” Hancock said.</p>
<p>Similar claims regarding optionality had been made about India’s Aadhaar digital ID program, <a href="https://www.economist.com/asia/2023/06/04/how-india-is-using-digital-technology-to-project-power">according to The Economist</a>, which wrote, “Though Aadhaar was supposed to be optional, it is hard to function without it.”</p>
<p>The Kenyan government claims the <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/gates-foundation-to-advise-on-maisha-namba-rollout--4402224">implementation of Maisha Namba</a> is also intended to bring the country into compliance with <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-eu-global-vaccine-passport-initiative/">international standards on global travel</a> as determined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and other agencies.</p>
<p>Maisha Namba is funded with a <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/kenya-approves-maisha-namba-plans-launch-this-month-with-6-8m-budget">budget of 1 billion Kenyan shillings</a> (approximately $6.8 million), Biometric Update reports. The program was initially set to launch on Oct. 2, according to Business Daily Africa, but its <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/gates-foundation-to-advise-on-maisha-namba-rollout--4402224">rollout was postponed</a> on Sept. 29.</p>
<p>According to Reclaim the Net, Kenyan officials “stress that the new system is aimed at addressing a host of issues such as the authentication of citizens, protection of primary identification documents, improved governance of social programs and operations, and simplification of access to services such as healthcare, education, taxation, and social security,” but public concerns may have contributed to the postponed launch.</p>
<p>“Despite these concerns, government officials have made attempts to assure its citizens of their commitment to <a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/the-gates-foundation-pushes-for-digital-id-systems-despite-criticism">privacy protection</a> and the inclusivity promised by the Maisha Namba,” Reclaim the Net added.</p>
<p>Glaser called into question such claims of “inclusivity.”</p>
<p>“‘Inclusivity’ is … a fake talking point politicians use on camera,” he said. “The reality is that biometric ID brings everyone down to the lowest common denominator of government welfare recipients … Inclusivity is political-speak for the government forcing itself on your family and treating your children like wards of the state.”</p>
<p>Glaser also criticized public-private partnerships. “As I researched biometric ID, I learned that governments are not at the top of the food chain. It’s actually private companies at the top — such as Microsoft, Oracle, Accenture — because they create and own the technology and they manage the data at the top.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Some Kenyans ‘very worried and suspicious’ of Gates’ endeavors in Kenya</strong></h3>
<p>Kenyan officials have sought to reassure the public that their personal information would be safe on the new digital platform.</p>
<p>Kenyan National Registration Bureau Registrar for the Kipipiri region, Joel Muchunu, said the Maisha Namba program will incorporate advanced security features, including cryptographic technology for data security, <a href="https://www.kenyanews.go.ke/nyandarua-residents-sensitized-on-maisha-namba/">Kenya News Agency</a> reported.</p>
<p>Irungu Houghton, executive director of Amnesty International, “applauded” the Maisha Namba program and the Kenyan government’s digital transformation efforts, <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/kenyan-govt-assures-civil-society-digital-id-will-meet-data-protection-inclusion-goals">according to Biometric Update</a>, but “raised concerns about the safety of data that will be collected for the Maisha Namba scheme” and said it is important Kenyans are “comfortable they understand and are aware of the opportunities of this digital platform.”</p>
<p>Such reassurances have not convinced all Kenyans, however. According to Reclaim the Net, “There is an evident wave of skepticism,” with activists from certain regions “expressing concerns about inadequate infrastructure, unreliable network access, and privacy and civil liberties concerns.”</p>
<p>Some activists argued that the Maisha Namba is indistinguishable from a previous digital ID effort attempted by the Kenyan government, the Huduma Namba, according to Kenyan outlet <a href="https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2023-10-15-garissa-activists-reject-maisha-namba-want-rollout-halted/">The Star</a>. That program was declared unconstitutional by <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202310/kenyas-digital-id-boosted-by-gates-foundation-but-govt-struggles-to-convince-citizens">Kenya’s High Court</a> in October 2021, for conflicting with the country’s <a href="https://cms.law/en/int/expert-guides/cms-expert-guide-to-data-protection-and-cyber-security-laws/kenya">Data Protection Act</a>.</p>
<p>Ngare said Huduma Namba “failed because [the government] <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-51324954">intended to include DNA</a>.”</p>
<p>Other activist groups, led by the <a href="https://www.khrc.or.ke/">Kenyan Human Rights Commission</a>, are “calling for a stronger legislative basis” and “warn of the possibility of discrimination and the erosion of privacy,” warning that public engagement has been “lacking,” as have “procedural and legal safeguards,” <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/kenyan-rights-groups-warn-digital-id-program-repeating-past-mistakes">Biometric Update reported</a>.</p>
<p>Other activists “accused the government of backtracking on its promise to do away with vetting for persons seeking identification cards” and claimed “rogue government officials were using the vetting exercise to demand bribes,” according to The Star.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202310/kenyas-digital-id-boosted-by-gates-foundation-but-govt-struggles-to-convince-citizens">Kenyan officials claimed</a> the country “is lagging behind” in digital implementation, “putting Kenya at risk of non-compliance with international enforcement agencies’ standards.”</p>
<p>Ngare said the Kenyan public at large isn’t highly familiar with Gates, but those who are familiar with him “are very worried and suspicious.” He said there isn’t extensive opposition to Maisha Namba “because at face value, it sounds like a good idea.”</p>
<p>“Most people don’t know the dark side of Bill Gates and his link to the depopulation agenda,” he said. “To the beneficiaries of the NGOs [non-governmental organizations] his foundation supports and some beneficiaries of his philanthropy, he is admired. To those who know the deeper undertones of the eugenics agenda, he is loathed.”</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3c1504ef-96f7-4656-a5cf-d474123dc31e">The Financial Times</a>, Gates “acknowledges that digital ID could be abused,” saying that “Anything that makes the state more effective is good for the things you like the state to do, and bad for the things you don’t like the state to do.”</p>
<p>“But, if you believe in a state that should provide you education and should let you vote and should give you health services, there’s got to be some notion of, ‘Who are my citizens and are they eligible for this benefit?’” he added.</p>
<p>Ngare said that Gates’ involvement with Maisha Namba is just one of his many interests in Africa, having previously been involved with “The clandestine administration of <a href="https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=81838">fertility regulating Tetatus vaccines</a> to Kenyan women in 2014-2015, facilitated by Gavi and the WHO,” which he says “is still fresh in our minds.”</p>
<p>“He has many interests in Africa, including health and nutrition, gender equality, disease prevention, treatment and research, water, sanitation and hygiene, agriculture and financial services for the poor,” Ngare said, adding that the Gates Foundation announced in 2022 that its <a href="https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2022/11/bill-gates-to-set-foundations-regional-headquarters-in-nairobi/">African headquarters will be located in Kenya</a>.</p>
<p>The Gates Foundation is also “spearheading the <a href="https://allafrica.com/stories/202209230035.html">funding to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria</a>” in Africa, Ngare said, and is “injecting more funds ‘to <a href="https://www.gatesfoundation.org/ideas/media-center/press-releases/2023/10/mrna-vaccine-manufacturing-africa">advance access to mRNA research</a> and vaccine manufacturing technology that will support low- and middle-income countries’ … capacity to develop high-quality, lifesaving vaccines at scale.”</p>
<p>“He is heavily invested in vaccine development, production and distribution through Gavi … and makes the vaccines ‘available’ to ‘low-income countries’ at affordable or subsidized prices,” Ngare added. “The U.S. and European governments fund the vaccine development that enriches the developers and sponsors such as Gates.”</p>
<p>“Expanding the mRNA technology to tuberculosis, malaria and HIV would afford Gates an opportunity to develop vaccines specifically targeted at Africans,” Ngare said.</p>
<p>Kenyan author Nanjala Nyabola, author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Democracy-Analogue-Politics-Transforming-ebook/dp/B09LQGBSWJ/ref=sr_1_1">Digital Democracy, Analogue Politics</a>: How the Internet Era is Transforming Politics in Kenya,” said “Digital identity systems will only make governments more efficient at what they are already doing,” according to The Financial Times, adding that digital IDs could be used as a tool to suppress or discriminate against certain citizens.</p>
<p>Polansky said digital ID technology helps facilitate “a centralized, government- and corporate-accessible database network already built into the wireless network.”</p>
<p>“We have to wake up many more folks with truth from the non-conspiratorial trenches. The wireless devices that folks are adamant they unequivocally require to count their steps, run their — and their children’s — lives and homes, and keep them current with society are the same devices from which society is already set up for techno-totalitarianism.”</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>The </strong><a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/researchers-are-testing-biometric-recognition-of-newborns-for-vaccinations"><strong>new method</strong></a><strong> aims to ensure that as soon as a child is born and receives their first vaccine, biometric scanning of four of their fingers takes place, and in addition to fingerprinting babies, their caregivers’ biometric voice data is also collected.</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>The purpose of this is to monitor identities and manage vaccination histories, those behind the scheme said, noting that it is supposed to be used for the first 24 months of the babies’ lives and track how eight vaccines and one supplement are given to them.</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>Both the fingerprints and the voice data will then allegedly be removed, the group developing the biometric system has promised.</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Biometric authentication company <a href="https://www.nec.com/"><strong>NEC</strong></a>, the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), and Nagasaki University from Japan are the ones who in 2019 partnered to develop the program, which is currently undergoing clinical trials at Kinango Sub-County Hospital in Kwale, Kenya.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The trials, which started in September and are scheduled to last through March, have covered a total of 1,000 newborn babies and their caregivers. Even though the tests are not over, the early results are now coming in, which the three partners describe as “highly encouraging.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">More tests are planned with more hospitals  – and Kenya has been chosen as the country that will see the baby biometric fingerprinting system fully deployed. The plan is for this to happen by the end of the year.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The program is pitched as supporting the <a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/world-economic-forum-id"><strong>United Nations Sustainable Development Goals</strong></a> (SDGs) – namely, those providing legal identity and birth registration for all, ending preventable deaths among newborns and children under 5, and reducing neonatal mortality.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">As for NEC – which is considered a global leader in providing face recognition, iris recognition, fingerprint/palmprint recognition, voice recognition, and ear acoustic authentication – it is also working on another project to commercialise infant biometrics while it has more projects carried out in sub-Saharan Africa in its portfolio.</p>
