Elizabeth Holmes And Theranos - What her investors can teach us about greed

Holmes was associated with many powerful and well-connected individuals who supported her. The 12-member Theranos board included former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense William Perry, former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Senators Sam Nunn and Bill Frist, former Navy Admiral Gary Roughead, former Marine Corps General James Mattis, and former CEOs Dick Kovacevich of Wells Fargo and Riley Bechtel of Bechtel. Her high-profile private investors included media-mogul Rupert Murdoch, President Trump's Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Walmart's Walton family, the billionaire Cox family of Cox Enterprises and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, all of whom lost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars each when the company folded. Holmes was a supporter of Hillary Clinton during her 2016 run for president, and was on friendly terms with her daughter Chelsea Clinton.

In some cases she had personal friendships. She often attended parties at George Shultz's house as a family friend.Shultz's grandson Tyler Shultz, a recent college graduate, landed his first job at Theranos. Tyler was one of the whistleblowers who spoke to WSJ investigative reporter John Carreyrou about corruption in the company. On learning this, Holmes threatened through her lawyer David Boies to sue the Shultz family and bankrupt them if his grandson continued to talk. George Shultz stayed loyal to Holmes and demanded his grandson cease talking to the Wall Street Journal.


 Theranos was valued at $9 billion with more than $400 million in venture capital.

Here's why the theory that Taylor Swift is a Illuminauti satanist clone absolutely checks out ;)

Image
See, Swift's uncanny resemblance to Zeena Schreck, former high priestess of the church of Satan, has been common knowledge on the internet for a while now. Rumors of a deeper connection have reached a fever pitch recently, based in part on the airtight theory that Swift is a clone of Schreck, who is the daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey.   The evidence is hard to shake off.  Schreck and Swift are both best represented by the serpent emoji and have blonde hair. Schreck's dad founded the Church of Satan, while Swift's (surrogate) father is a Merrill Lynch executive who owned a Christmas tree farm.  Obviosuly, the two women have too much in common to ignore, but their connection cannot merely exist on the surface. A close look at their life stories suggests an interwoven plot that all points to the truth — Swift's love for Lucifer is red, burning red.  Schreck was high priestess of the Church of Satan from 1985-1990, which is very su

WHO RECOMMENDS RESCHEDULING CANNABIS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY

Image
he World Health Organization has suggested that cannabis should be downgraded, or "rescheduled," given the mounting evidence showing that the drug could prove beneficial in treating a number of health problems.   This marks a significant change in WHO's position, which for the last 60 years has said that cannabis should not be used in medicine, according to an article in the  BMJ . The WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence has recommended that cannabis resin and other marijuana products should be downgraded from a schedule IV to a schedule I drug under international law. Schedule IV is the strictest category outlined in the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs Treaty, meaning that cannabis is currently treated in the same way as heroin, severely restricting scientists who want to investigate the plant in the search for potential therapies. The committee also recommended that THC—the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis—should be designated as a sch

Immortality - Raising The Chrism : The Pineal Gland And The 33 Vertebrae Points (Part 1)

Image
The Bible is a manual about physiological regeneration and astrology, written in code (SEE Gematria), providing us a path to enlightenment (atonement). 99% of the people believe the Bible is a historical book to be taken literally. It’s not, it’s about you and YOUR path to enlightenment. You are the Protagonist. No one’s coming to save you. All of these parables were written about and for you. The “Temple of God” is your body, not a building. Of course, if you believe we evolved from biological sludge 3 billion years ago, this doesn’t make any sense. Now, we’re never taught this information because the powers that be don’t want you to understand what you are. They like you confused, distracted and deceived which is why “you give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt (Juvenal).” For the past 500 years, it was the church’s role to mislead the masses. Now the “scientism” and “new age” community has gleefully taken over that role. I digress, but, regardless of wh
