Netherlands court rules Gates case will go now ahead but media pretends it’s not happening

A NETHERLANDS Court has rejected Bill Gates’ attempt to escape justice and will now face charges of genocide and biological warfare and crimes against humanity , says Freedom Train International leader Jim Ferguson.

He says a court in Leeuwarden has officially rejected Bill Gates’ excuse not to appear to answer charges, which is that Dutch law has “no jurisdiction” over him.

Also named in the charges are Klaus Schwab of the WEF, former Dutch PM Mark Rutte (now NATO chief), Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, a number of prominent journalists and others.

“Gates never showed up. He didn’t send lawyers. Instead, he arrogantly dismissed the Dutch court like a medieval king waving off the peasants. But the judges didn’t flinch. They ruled that the case against Gates will go ahead,” Ferguson posted on X on July 19th.

“Nearly 200 pieces of evidence were submitted — documents, testimony, whistleblower statements — building the case for genocide and crimes against humanity. If Gates is found complicit, the ripple effect could be seismic.

“Every government that partnered with him will face scrutiny. Every media outlet that silenced dissent will be exposed.”

When Cairns News searched Reuters for any mention of Gates and the Leeuwarden Court, it showed “no results”. The only media references to Gates being involved in a court case are a rash of fact-checking articles about the same case that appeared last year.

The fact-checkers corrected the claim that spread around the internet that Gates had been indicted. He wasn’t. He was simply named as one of the subjects of a proposed lawsuit in the civil case.

AFP Fact Check was told by a spokesman for the District Court of Northern Netherlands that the case was a private dispute. “The case is not a criminal case, but a civil case, in which a number of plaintiffs have sued a number of other parties,” the spokesperson said in an October 31 email (last year).

Gates’s attorneys challenged the suit because he does not live in the Netherlands, but the court found it has “international jurisdiction” to hear the case. The judge required Gates to pay 1,406 euros ($1,489) in legal fees as the losing party in the motion, AFP reported.

AFP then quoted Remme Verkerk, a law professor at Utrecht University, who said that just because the court agreed to hear the case does not mean it has merit. “You are allowed to start proceedings, and then the main rule in our legal system is that anyone may go to court,” he said on November 1.

Some posts claim Gates may be “extradited” to the Netherlands or compelled to stand trial there. However, Verkerk said Gates would likely not have to appear in court. “I really don’t see them issuing an order for Mr. Gates to necessarily be here. That’s not how it works in civil cases,” he said. 

However, despite the thorough investigation of the case preliminaries by global media fact checkers, they have simply ignored the latest development, announced by Ferguson a few days ago.

Gates pays tens of millions of dollars to media organisations, in particular the BBC health division. Mainstream media grovel before him as if he’s a demigod. He has appeared several times at the Canberra Press Gallery pushing his polio vaccine campaign and renewable energy schemes.

But Gates was forced to admit in 2021 that he had associated with Jeffrey Epstein at “several dinners to discuss philanthropy projects”, which he described as “a big mistake”.

Ferguson is hoping that “every pharmaceutical CEO involved may follow him into the dock, and if the International Criminal Court then takes up the case there will be “no hiding behind Silicon Valley billions or global foundations.”
