Bill Gates Foundation paid the Guardian $3.5 million for a hit-piece article on breastfeeding after he launched his lab-made baby milk business.

JUNE 2020 - Bill Gates announced a startup called BIOMILQ. It’s backed by some of the richest investors in the world, like Zuckerburg. It raised $3.5 million in Series A funding from Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Breakthrough Energy Ventures is Bill Gates’ investment firm focused on climate change.

SEPTEMBER 2020 - Remember that $3.5 million in BIOMILQ money? Well, according to a receipt from the Gates Foundation, it paid The Guardian $3.5 million in September 2020. This was an initial offering from the Gates Foundation. Of course, right after on September 27, the Guardian published an article entitled “Antibodies in breast milk remain for 10 months after Covid infection – study.”

February 2022 - Customs and Border Patrol officers said that they inspected 17 separate shipments of formulas that came from Europe. Border patrol consulted with the FDA. Of course, the FDA said it had safety concerns about noncompliant baby formula. The same month, the FDA announces it is looking into bacterial contamination at the Abbott formula production plant in Michigan that's supposedly behind the baby formula shortage.

MAY 2022 - The Gates Foundation paid the Guardian again as part of annual funding. The very next day, The Guardian wasted no time and published a hit-piece on breastfeeding. It’s called “Turns out breastfeeding really does hurt - why does no one tell you?”

Scomo is just doing what every politician does. Remeber when there were state elections a few years ago, had a few politicians come to the gurdwara on a few Sunday afternoons while all the aunties and uncles could not understand a thing.

'Ashamed' police chiefs will apologise for racism and commit to being 'institutionally anti-racist' in future

  • Police chiefs are set to apologise for discrimination and bias within their ranks 
  • The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and College of Policing are set to outline a plan committing the police to being 'institutionally anti-racist'
  • The plan was prompted by a report published after the murder of back teenager Stephen Lawrence as well as the murder of George Floyd in the US

 

 

Police leaders are set to apologise and say they are 'ashamed' of alleged 'discrimination and bias' within their ranks in a new report due to be published next week.

The plan from the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and College of Policing will commit the police to being 'institutionally anti-racist'.

The NPCC represents British police chief officers while the College of Policing is responsible for setting standards of ethics for the police service.

The plan, which will be open to consultation, will state: 'Our vision is for a police service that is anti-racist and trusted by black people.' 

The catalyst for the report was global protests sparked by the murder of unarmed black man George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, US, on May 25, 2020.

It also comes after the landmark Macpherson inquiry, which followed black teenager Stephen Lawrence's unprovoked murder in 1993.

The Macpherson inquiry published a report in February 1999 which accused the Met Police and policing in general of 'institutional racism'.

 

Victor Olisa, the Met's former head of diversity and head of policing in Tottenham, has previously called the silence from senior officers 'deafening'. A plan from the National Police Chiefs Council and College of Policing is set to commit to being 'institutionally anti-racist'

According to The Guardian, the report will state: 'We accept that policing still contains racism, discrimination and bias.

'We are ashamed of those truths, we apologise for them and we are determined to change them.'

It will also outline plans to tackle treatment which black people find 'stigmatising and humiliating'.

The Macpherson report, published in 1999, examined failings in how the police investigated the murder of Stephen Lawrence, a black teenager killed in 1993 in a racist knife attack by five white youths in south London

The blueprint will add: 'Much has been done in the intervening years by policing to address racism in the police and society.

'Despite this, change has not been fast nor significant enough in black communities.

'As we have prepared this plan, we have heard the views of black people and their experiences of policing. We have listened to the voices of our own black colleagues about the service they belong to.

'The challenge for reform, set out by Macpherson, cannot be said to have been unambiguously answered by policing. Many people believe policing to still be institutionally racist and have grounds for this view.'

The new report, due to be published next week, will also state: 'We have much to do to secure the confidence of black people, including our own staff, and improve their experience of policing - and we will.

'We will be held to account and we welcome scrutiny. That need for change is evident.

'Policing lags behind almost every part of the public service as an employer of choice for black people.

'Confidence levels are much lower, and our powers are disproportionately applied to black people. In some crimes, victimisation rates are higher.

'Black officers and staff leave policing earlier in their careers than white staff and the fact we have only seen two black officers reach chief constable or assistant commissioner rank in policing's history is a failure.'

It adds: 'Black people are seven times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and five times more likely to be subjected to the use of force.

'Testimonies tell us that black people find these encounters - particularly stop and search - confrontational, stigmatising and humiliating.

'Ten per cent of our recorded searches, 27 per cent of use-of-force incidents and 35 per cent of Taser incidents involved someone from a black ethnic group.

'The latest estimates suggest that only 3.5 per cent of the population is black.'

Sir William Macpherson chaired the unprovoked inquiry landmark inquiry into Lawrence's unprovoked murder in 1993

 

Policing minister Kit Malthouse outlined plans to be published within weeks to make users to wear a tag that detects drugs in sweat amid a government crackdown on drugs

Don't really care too much, but he's better than scomo.

Most Sikhs probably prefer him over former PM Morrison.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
