Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II: All Poor & Low Wage People Should UNITE To Vote In Their Interest

William Joseph Barber II: These are who the oligarchs of the country fear the most. Black poor and low wage people -- which is 26 million people -- 60 percent of Black people. And poor and low wage White people -- which is 66 million people, or 30 percent of our White brothers and sisters. We need to unite with indigenous, Asian and Latino people in this country and vote their strength -- 87 million potential votes. (Thom Hartmann program, 6/21/2024).

Copilot: Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II is a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and is often referred to as "the closest person we have to Dr. King" by Cornel West [1]. He recently co-authored a groundbreaking book titled “White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy" with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. Here are some key points about the book...

• Myth of Black Poverty: Despite there being forty million more poor white people than Black people in the United States, the association of Black skin with poverty persists. Barber challenges this myth and explores its historical causes.

• Neglected White Poverty: Barber addresses white poverty as a neglected subject. He argues that understanding the struggles of poor white families is essential for mitigating racism and uniting working-class and impoverished Americans.

• Economic Realities: The book discusses how housing, healthcare, and education costs have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated for most Americans. It emphasizes that there should be no shame in being poor. Moral Fusion Movement: Barber calls for a new "moral fusion movement" that unites people across racial and economic lines to combat poverty and systemic injustice. [2]

Additionally, Dr. Barber is a key figure in the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. This campaign aims to challenge systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation, and distorted morality. It unites tens of thousands of people across the country in pursuit of justice and equality. [3]

"We need to make them hear us" says Barber.


Copilot: Here are additional key points from "White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy"...

Moral Framework: Dr. Barber emphasizes the need for a moral framework that transcends partisan politics. He argues that addressing poverty and inequality is not just an economic issue but a moral imperative.

• Intersectionality: The book delves into the intersectionality of poverty, racism, and systemic injustice. It highlights how these issues are interconnected and affect marginalized communities disproportionately.

• Historical Context: Dr. Barber provides historical context, tracing the roots of poverty and racial disparities in America. He challenges prevailing narratives and encourages readers to critically examine societal myths.

• Coalition Building: The book calls for coalition building across racial lines. Dr. Barber advocates for a movement that unites people of all backgrounds to fight for economic justice and human rights.

Remember, these points are just a glimpse of the book's rich content. Dr. Barber's work invites readers to engage deeply with the complexities of poverty and race, fostering dialogue and action toward a more just society.

William Barber: Some people cite the scripture where Jesus says, "The poor you always have with you" to argue that poverty is inevitable, and that trying to end it is a hopeless cause.

Every time they say that, they are misquoting Jesus. Because that’s not what Jesus meant or said. He was saying, yeah, the poor are going to be with you always, because he was quoting from Deuteronomy [15:11]. The rest of that scripture says the poor will always be with you because of your greed -- I'm paraphrasing it, but that’s the meaning of it. The poor will always be with you is a critique of our unwillingness to address poverty.

To have this level of inequality existing is a violation of our deepest moral, constitutional and religious values. It's morally inconsistent, morally indefensible, and economically insane. Why would you not want to lift 55 to 60 million people out of poverty if you could by paying them a basic living wage? Why would you not want that amount of resources coming to people and then coming back into the economy? (excerpted from a 1/21/2023 CNN article).

According to Moody's Analytics:
• Every dollar spent on unemployment benefits generates $1.61 in economic growth.
• Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.74 in economic growth.
• But every dollar spent on rolling tax rates back to Bush-era levels only creates $0.32 in economic growth -- that's a 68-cent loss on investment :(

False Prophets Robin Bullock & Katt Kerr

Dervish Sanders: I say both of these people are frauds and charlatans. Can you give me any information (and cite sources) from people who have tried to expose these frauds?

Copilot: Certainly! There have been several individuals who have raised concerns about the teachings and practices of both Kat Kerr and Robin Bullock. Let's explore some of the sources that shed light on their controversial claims:

• Mario Murillo: In a video titled “False Prophets Exposed! Mario Murillo Calls Kat Kerr, Robin Bullock & Julie Green To Repent,” Christian leaders Stephen Strang and Mario Murillo discuss false prophets and prophecies in the body of Christ. They specifically name Kat Kerr and Robin Bullock, exposing their errors and deceptions. They emphasize discernment, accountability, and the need to test all things by the Word of God. [1]

• The Alabama Woodsman: This YouTube channel has produced videos critiquing both Robin Bullock and his wife. They accuse Robin Bullock of being a false apostle, prophet, and pastor. The videos use biblical verses and evidence to expose their lies, errors, and heresies. Additionally, they highlight how Bullock charges money for mentoring people on the gift of prophecy and supports other false prophets like Kat Kerr. [2]

• Unmasking False Prophets With Mario Murillo: In this article, Mario Murillo reiterates his stance against Kat Kerr and Robin Bullock. He describes Robin Bullock as a dangerous false prophet and cult leader, citing Matthew 12:32. Murillo emphasizes the importance of alerting others against false prophets [3].

While these sources provide critical perspectives, it's essential to approach any information with discernment and seek further research. Remember that opinions may vary, and it's crucial to weigh evidence carefully.

Dervish Sanders: I'm looking for information about the self-described prophet Robin Bullock. How wealthy is this person? How many homes does his own? What is his net worth?

Copilot: Robin Bullock, a well-known pastor and accomplished musician, has an estimated net worth that varies depending on the source. Here are some reported figures:

• According to Millions Of Celebs, Robin Bullock’s net worth was approximately $42 million as of 2021. [1]
• Famous People Today states that his estimated net worth is $1.5 million [2]
• Something Up reports a net worth of approximately $20 million as of 2023. [3]
• Worth Trackers lists his net worth at an impressive $4 million. [4]

While the exact figure may differ, it’s safe to say that Robin Bullock, as the owner of multiple ministries and institutes, has made a significant living through his preaching and music endeavors. Unfortunately, information about the number of homes he owns is not readily available.

Dervish Sanders: Can you give me the same information for Kat Kerr? She also claims that she is a "prophet".

Copilot: Certainly! Kat Kerr, an accomplished American author, philanthropist, podcaster, speaker, and entrepreneur, has an estimated net worth of $8 million [1, 2, 3, 4]. Her captivating insights about heavenly realms have resonated with countless readers worldwide. Kerr's husband, Captain Bing, is also well-off, with an estimated net worth of $600 million. [5]

Video: Jan 31, 2023. Evangelist ‪@MarioMurilloMinistry‬ has taken a great deal of heat for a blog post he wrote titled "Mario, Where Have You Been?" In his blog article Murillo called out evangelists Kat Kerr and Robin D. Bullock as "false prophets". In his post Murillo said, "These false preachers say things that are absolutely insane and unscriptural. And therein lies the issue -- biblical illiteracy... Murillo followed up with another article saying that he would not back down from his original words and would stands by what he said.


Dervish Sanders: Kat Kerr's husband is "Captain Bing"? And this search engine is "Bing"? I assume that is just a coincidence? Why is Kat Kerr's husband called "Captain Bing"?

Copilot: Indeed, it might seem like an intriguing coincidence, but there's no direct connection between Kat Kerr's husband and the search engine "Bing". The name "Captain Bing" is unique to Kat Kerr's personal context and doesn't relate to the search engine.

As for the search engine itself, "Bing" was developed by Microsoft and launched in 2009. It's a web search engine that provides search results, news, images, and other online content. The name "Bing" was chosen for branding purposes, and it doesn't have any direct association with Kat Kerr’s husband or his title.

Remember, sometimes life presents amusing coincidences, but in this case, it's just that -- a coincidence!

Gain Of Function GoF

Video: Jun 16, 2022. Sen. Rand Paul: "If I give you ten, or if I give a patient ten mRNA vaccines, and they make protein each time or them make antibody each time, is that proof that we should give ten boosters?" Dr. Anthony Fauci: "No. I think that is somewhat of an absurd exaggeration".

Dervish Sanders: What was the most serious lab leak that has had the worst consequences that has been documented to have acutally happened?

Copilot: One of the most serious documented lab leaks occurred in Lanzhou, China. In July and August 2019, an inadequacy in sanitizing processes at a biopharmaceutical plant led to the aerosolization of Brucella, a pathogen. The wind carried it to nearby settlements and academic institutes, resulting in over 10,000 human brucellosis cases by November 2020. This incident highlights the need for enhanced vigilance and strict regulatory interventions in similar facilities.

Dervish Sanders: How common is "gain of function" research when it comes to viruses? Anthony Fauci was accused by Rand Paul of funding "gain of function" research in Wuhan China, though Anthony Fauci has denied this. What is the truth of whether or not "gain of function" research was conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virolog. Whether or not it was funds were approved by Anthony Fauci?

Copilot: The topic of "gain-of-function" research is complex and has been a subject of debate. Here’s what we know:

Definition of Gain-of-Function Research...

Gain-of-function (GoF) research involves modifying viruses to enhance their properties, such as transmissibility or virulence. The goal is to understand how viruses evolve and develop countermeasures.

Fauci's Denial and Controversy:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has denied funding GoF research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

He stated that the NIH did not fund such research at the WIV.

Congressional Investigation: In 2021, the U.S. House Oversight Committee revealed that an NIH grantee failed to report outcomes of an experiment involving coronaviruses in mouse models. The NIH demanded further documentation, but until that information is publicly available, the claim remains unproven.

Documented Funding and Research: The debate centers on whether this specific research directly led to COVID-19's emergence.

Conclusion: While Fauci denies direct funding for GoF research at the WIV, the situation remains contentious. Transparency, rigorous oversight, and responsible research practices are crucial to prevent unintended consequences. In summary, the truth is still unfolding, and further investigation is needed to definitively establish the link between GoF research and the pandemic.

Dervish Sanders: What are the potential benefits of gain-of-function research?

Copilot: Gain-of-function (GoF) research, despite its controversies, has potential benefits in understanding viruses and developing countermeasures. Here are some key advantages...

• Understanding Viral Evolution: GoF studies allow scientists to observe how viruses evolve. By modifying specific genes, researchers can explore how viruses adapt and change over time. This knowledge informs vaccine development and treatment strategies.

• Vaccine and Drug Development: GoF research helps identify critical viral components. By enhancing virulence or transmissibility, scientists can study immune responses and test potential vaccines or antiviral drugs. For example, the development of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines relied on understanding viral genetics.

• Preparedness for Natural Mutations: Viruses mutate naturally. GoF research aims to anticipate these changes and develop preemptive measures. By studying altered viruses, scientists can prepare vaccines or therapeutics to combat future variants.

• Biosecurity and Surveillance: GoF research contributes to global health security. By studying viruses in controlled environments, researchers can identify potential threats and enhance surveillance systems. This knowledge helps prevent or mitigate outbreaks.

• Basic Science Insights: GoF experiments provide insights into fundamental biological processes. They reveal how viruses interact with host cells, replicate, and cause disease. These discoveries have broader applications beyond specific viruses.

However, responsible oversight, transparency, and adherence to safety protocols are crucial to prevent accidental releases or misuse. Striking a balance between scientific progress and risk management is essential.
