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.
Good point Gabriel. I want the future to look like a place where those that potentially killed millions and withdrew all our freedoms are held accountable. Where reforms are made to avert a headlong rush into a One-Everything world run by private-totalitarian AI-Bio Tsars. I’m excited to be joining Formosahut Book Stack (started by Dan who i met in Dulan) to help bring that about.
Formosahut is not as powerful as Wellcome Trust i admit. It's where the smart money isn't. Meanwhile Wellcome's endowment was increasing by a billion a year before Covid - God knows what it's like now. How's our endowment going dan? Not that good, right?
We'll have to patiently wait & see who wins in the end. Actually it's not about winning - it's about not having things taken away.
If you're protesting a corruptly approved resort on a much-loved/public/pristine beach for example - you're not trying to gain anything. Your aim is to maintain the beach - the vibe.
It's not: - I also demand you pay me a high-salary for life you fuckers!
Versus:
Own/Wreck the beach - pay me a high-salary for life ... seriously.
Wellcome Trust/One Health, disguised as wokeness, is that winner own/wreck/control model - on a global scale.
Permanently change the landscape - to win more money/power.
As Leung reiterates: Wellcome is in-the-business-of global-future-shaping - for the common good.
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 conveniently. Allowed the CCP-directed HK authorities to institute snap lockdowns. That measure alone crushed the protest without firing a shot - very Sun Tzu.
Gabriel Leung was Tzu's architect-in-chief of this incredibly effective protest killer in Hong Kong. There are points in history where things could go either way - Hong Kong went the Covid way.
That's a skill-set Wellcome knows is valuable - on a global scale.
Farrar/Koopmans/Nature: (I)t will be a challenge to persuade countries to invest in a new surveillance system, for example, before its general effectiveness has been demonstrated at a country level.
Before Covid, before Carrie Lam, 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, have no idea what was going on? If he didn't twig, as the Director - does that look bad on your CV - or good?
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.
Considering Leung is a power-elite from a totalitarian regime, he delivers a curious speech at University of Sydney (a notorious pro-CCP uni) where he extols a book titled How Democracy Ends. It's the theme of his speech.
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.
SomehowIronically Leung (and the book's author) equates technocracy reigning supreme with DemocracyDemocracy. - and anyoneAnyone questioning this global power-grab (which caused Covid - evaporated all our basic freedoms - then ran the cover-up of the millenium) asis ignorant/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.fight.
Not hard to see how he got drafted into Wellcome Trust - politically he aligns perfectly with Farrar's vision of a privately-run 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. Censorship being 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. Hard to think of a person-of-interest in this who isn't.
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 consequent crushing of the HK protest, the Director of the Office of ex-Chief Executive Tsang (a corrupt criminal), and Technocracy Censorship expert - Gabriel is the latter.
For the same reasons, i see why he was head-hunted for the Wellcome Board.
