Gabriel Leung
Wellcome announced in Feb 2021 that Leung would join the Wellcome Board of Governors.
Gabriel Leung: Once the world finally exits the acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ll be faced with many questions about what we want the future to look like. .. I’m excited to be joining Wellcome to help bring that about.
Not that we needed further confirmation - but Wellcome sees itself as global-future-shapers - on our behalf. It's no surprise that they would turn to a CCP power-elite to execute the transition phase of this strategy.
Prior to his Wellcome appointment, Leung served as a top Covid advisor to Carrie Lam (HK) - he still does. To understand the significance of that role we must remember that at the time Covid broke, the Hong Kong protest was at its height. Massive protests every weekend - supported by a large majority of Hong Kongers. The CCP-leadership was faced with two options:
1. Honour the One-country Two-systems agreement
2. A Tiananmen Square style massacre to restore control
Then along came Covid. So convenient. Allowed the authorities to institute lockdowns and effectively crush the protest without firing a shot - very Sun Tzu. Gabriel Leung was a chief-architect of this incredibly effective protest killer. That's a skill-set Wellcome would love to apply on a global scale.
Before Covid, Leung was Director of the Office of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, under Donald Tsang, who was found guilty of taking a US$431000 bribe in the form of renovations to his penthouse. Did, Leung, the Director of Tsang's office, know what was going on?
Leung is also founder and deputy editor-in-chief for China CDC Weekly. That puts him in close-contact with George Gao, China's CDC head, who is close Oxford chums with Jeremy Farrar (and Holmes, Rambaut, McMichael, Worobey). Leung himself has long had a close relationship with Oxford as editor (PDF) of its Journal of Public Health.
With breath-taking hypocrisy, considering Leung is a power-elite from a totalitarian regime, he delivers a speech at University of Sydney (a notorious pro-CCP uni) where he extols a book titled How Democracy Ends.
Gabriel Leung: While technocracy may have reigned supreme .. Democracy Ends chronicl(es) .. the denigration of expertise and celebration of ignorance; in other words, the wholesale repudiation of technocracy.
Somehow Leung equates technocracy reigning supreme with Democracy - and anyone questioning this global power-grab (which caused Covid - evaporated all our basic freedoms - then ran the cover-up of the millenium) as anti-democratic! In Farrar-esque tones, Leung talks of the battle against these questioning forces and urges the scientific community to come together to fight the good fight.
Not hard to see how he got drafted into Wellcome Trust - politically he aligns perfectly with Farrar's vision of technocratic bio-state.
If that wasn't enough, he is also Director of the Laboratory of Data Discovery HK Science and Technology Park (2020-) and Vice President and Censor in Public Health Medicine, HK. Obviously Censorship is an essential blunt instrument in the War on Freedom - one that's been employed with devastating effect.
Finally, Leung is a WHO advisor - barely needs mentioning - of course he would be.
There are two types of Hong Kongers - those heroically risking their lives to fight for basic human freedoms - and those in power fighting to eradicate them. As a top advisor to Chief Executive Lam in the crushing of the HK protest, the Director of the Office of ex-Chief Executive Tsang (a corrupt criminal), and Technocracy fanatic in the War on Freedom, he's a great fit for the Wellcome Board.
