The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." - Bill Gates

Rayn: Psychopaths Rule the World! Let us expose the pseudo-science of “racial hygienists,” like Bill Gates and Ted Turner! These eugenicists simply worship Death and Human Sacrifice, JUST like priest-castes of ancient times! See them for what they are REALLY are: LIZARDS!
