The Australian government was fully prepared to bail Virgin Australia out. And save it, with a $200 million au bailout.

But unfortunately the Australian government attached a difficult condition to this offer.

The condition was that.... In taking the money, Virgin Australia had to move its Australian Headquarters. And from the state of Queensland. In the North.

To South....
To Western Sydney. In the State of New South Wales.

Branson knows this would be a huge upheaval for his Queensland based workers.
And a big change.
I get that.

Plus Queenslanders and Branson ...probably know. That Western Syney is the poor part of Sydney.
That's starting to change.
But I can imagine movin to Western Sydney isn't very attractive to Queenslanders.
And also Queensland is like the Florida of the U.S.
Actually alot of it is either Sub Tropical.
Or Tropical.

But you know...in my veiw Branson, I agree... was a fool not to take this huge lifeline Australia offered.
He really should have forced his workers and those workers willing to make the change.... To do so.

And you know...It's not everyday a government offers you $200 million to save your company.

And here's the other unpleasant fact. It was the Queensland State government who were offering the $200 million. Tasked with issuing the government money.

Are they gonna offer $200 million to a huge company ...to save it?

When it's going to completely re-locate to another State. How does that help Queensland. And Queenslanders?

Well the latest is. The $200 million offer has now been withdrawn. Branson won't move the HQ.
So Virgin Australia is now going into voluntary administration from today.

This is insane.
Because now, all those Queenslander people lose their jobs anyway.

As I watch this all unfold from Brisbane, Australia, I said to someone where is Richard Branson in all of this as he's been as quite as a mouse?

I thought he owned Virgin Australia. He works out he only owns 10 per cent of it.

So I guess he's really been more of figurehead who only comes out during the good times.

Probably bad for his brand to show his face now. I don't think he's ever done the hard yards for this airline - he has people doing it for him.

I read this morning that he wants to mortgage his private Island to save Virgin.

I realised he was all froth and bubbles in 1997. In 1997 he got out of his car to enter Westminster Abbey for Princess Diana's funeral. He paused for a while to wave at people outside the church.

He was grinning like a Cheshire cat as he waved and was lapping it up. I thought to myself at the time, 'mate these people aren't here for you, you egoistical dickhead, they're here for Diana and are mourning her.'

That behaviour showed me he was so out of touch even back then.

I can understand why you were a bit put off ny Richard Branson's greeting the public outside the Church at Lady Diana's funeral.
But in reality as far as billionaires go. He's one of the good ones.
He probably greeted the public. Because he loves the public. And is an extravert. To the point he loves pranking the public. And all sorts of fun and games.

It always surprises me that he has done so well. And manifested so much money.
Because he's not a natural businessman.
For a start he's dyslexic too.
And when he was in one of his first business meetings he admitted he didn't even know the difference between net and gross.
His accountant had to explain it.
His wife is the one that's good at finance.
He's just good at business.
I read a biography of him.
And am amazed at his achievements.

He didn't come from a poor background. Quite the reverse. But he was taught by his mother how to make money. She gave him little projects.
Anyway he is a huge Philanthropist. Not just businessman.
And one amazing incidents. Or really one of the good things he's done. That he doesn't like to be talked about. Is his Iraq war rescue.
....this is what happened.
When Richard Branson was 40. In 1990. It was the time of the Invasion Of Kuwait. By Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussain.

For a start..Richard Branson was requested by King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan. To try and rescue 150,000 refugees that had fled Iraq. And were in really bad dangerous conditions in Jordan in the Winter. In camps.
With the help of Unicef, the Red Cross, the UK's foreign Office and Sainburys. Branson had all the seats removed from a Virgin Atlantic plane. And filled it will 40,000 blankets.
And flew them to Amman.
With alot of food too. And medical supplies.
I believe Richard Branson travelled on that plane.

But even better. At the time....chaos had broken out with the invasion of Kuwait and Bagdad was also a chaotic war zone.
And even worse, all over the UK TV was the shocking news/situation of British Nationals and other foreigners who were working in the region. Or on holiday. When the war broke out. Currently being held hostage there.
....being held hostage by Saddam Hussain, in Bagdad.

The British government were unable to rescue these families and their kids. So Richard Branson was so moved by the situation...he flew to Amman to discuss it with King Hussein. Who was on very good terms with Iraq's, Saddam Hussein.
And through this meeting. Branson drafted a letter to Saddam Hussein.
To request the release of any unwell British people held hostage.
And will he accept medical supplies?

2 nights later Saddam Hussein agreed. And agreed to release the British women, children and sick hostages. Saddam Husein agreed on the Condition a British Prime Minister met him first to confirm it.
Richard Branson asked for British Prime Minister Ted Heath to go. And he did. He met Saddam Hussein in Bagdad. And the deal was struck.
So quite quickly, in Oct 1990, Richard Branson flew one of his Virgin Atlantic planes to Bagdad, with a volunteer crew for the rescue. He took doctors, nurses and a Virgin Cabin crew. And the hostages relatives.
On arrival Bagdad was a blacked out airport.
Lots of soldiers with machine guns. Quite scary apparently.

Also...The amount of British families waiting at that airport to be rescued ended up to be too many for the rescue. So Branson had to leave some behind. He had to leave some British soldiers.
To an uncertain future in a war zone.
Richard Branson is quoted as saying,, 'when we left Iraqi airspace everyone cheered'. The British familes arriving at a UK airport at 3am in the morning was big news in 1990. They arrived at Gatwick I think, the BBC video of it is still available.
I remember it as very moving.
Had they not been rescued. The British familes would have died in Bagdad.
And that's a fact.
In my view, the British Government owe Richard Branson the decency of saving Virgin Airlines in the UK too.
It's the least they could do.

Branson should have took the deal before it was rescinded. Idiot.

But then again.

THEY always know something we don’t. A lot of THEM built bunkers, quit their jobs, & relocated. The timing is suspicious.

Wonder why.

“ Together At Home” Was An Infomercial for the Global Elite and its Agenda

“Together At Home” was touted as a virtual concert organized by Lady Gaga. But it was much more than that. It was about countless celebrities repeating specific messages while promoting specific elite organizations. Here’s a look at the true message of “Together At Home”.

EXCERPT

In Conclusion

Together At Home brought in audiences using Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga. But it was much more than a concert. It was the global elite rearing its ugly head and using its celebrity puppets to sing its praise. It was also about celebrities telling the masses to embrace their lives confined at home (sorry, I meant “sheltered at home) and to accept a “new normal”.

It was also about organizations such as the WHO taking the center stage during this crisis and allowing its contributors such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to gain positions of authority.

What about democratically elected officials? Where were they? They simply don’t have a place in their “One World”. If that makes you upset, remember that you can always give yourself a self-hug.

CDC’s failed coronavirus tests were tainted with coronavirus, feds confirm


As the new coronavirus took root across America, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent states tainted test kits in early February that were themselves seeded with the virus, federal officials have confirmed.

The contamination made the tests uninterpretable, and—because testing is crucial for containment efforts—it lost the country invaluable time to get ahead of the advancing pandemic.

As I watch this all unfold from Brisbane, Queensland, it was prudent of the government to withdraw the Branson offer because it could've cost them the next election.

Virgin Australia isn't a government-owned asset and has never paid tax here. The govt was out of line in offering up public (taxpayer) funds to rescue this private, overly-indebted millstone in the first place. Especially since VA contributed to the loss of 55 other airlines that once operated in this beautiful country.

Branson had other options; eg. using his own money from his net worth of $4.2 BILLION for bailout, asking shareholders to stump up and/or selling his Necker Island. Alas but no. Branson would much rather bleed out-of-work taxpayers to prop up a white elephant so he wouldn't have to. Bye bye, Branson.

I tend to think Richard Branson's kindness gets him more trouble than it's worth sometimes.

He could have easily died along with the Virgin cabin crew, relatives of the hostages, nurses and a British Ambassador on that rescue flight to Bagdad in 1990.

I agree with unknown.... that Australian tax payers don't have an oblogation to save his company.

But. It must be consisered.... Branson has provided 1000's of Queenslanders...Australians with Jobs.
How many companies come to Australia and do that?

Further... at one point Richard Branson pledged 3 billion, all profits from his travel firms to reduce global warming.

He even started a charity when he was 17. How many people I ask does that at 17.

The Charity was called Student Valley Centre.

Another thing he used to do in the UK when he was young ...was put on big music festivals. But never turned a profit on them. For himself.

It helped alot of UK bands, singers get work and fame.
But Branson got nothing from it.

His life, despite what people are led to believe by the media..is one endless pathway of giving.

The British Government don't like him. Because controversially in the late 80's early 90's Branson reformed the British Airline industry.

British people were paying ridiculous fares for flights back then.

And he took on British Airways for exclusive flights to the U.S.
They tried every dirty trick to stop him.
It was disgusting.
But he got Virgin Airlines up in the air and going.
And in the UK from then on. Flights were far cheaper.
He sued British Airways later.
And won.

No he's been through hell in his life. Hes not a bad guy as claimed.
There's no evidence for it either.

3) NXIVM: The Powerful Cult That Turns Rich Women Into Mind Controlled Slaves


EXCERPT


Programmers were using NLP before it became known as NLP in 1976. (…) If one studies NLP, one will find that NLP books such as “Basic Techniques Book II” by Clifford Wright, teach people how to create dissociative states which are alternate personalities, and that they teach people how to develop different states of mind, and pseudo multiple personalities. It is difficult to express all the different cross-overs that NLP has with Monarch Programming, but at different times the concepts of NLP certainly would be helpful to the handlers.
– Fritz Springmeier, The Formula to Create a Mind Control Slave

In only a few years, ESP trained more than 3,700 people, including high powered individuals such as: Sir Richard Branson, billionaire business mogul; Sheila Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET); Antonia C. Novello, a former U.S. surgeon general; Stephen Cooper, acting chief executive of Enron; Ana Cristina Fox, daughter of the former Mexican president; and Sara and Clare Bronfman, the daughters of the heir to the Seagram fortune.

A few years later, ESP changed its name to NXIVM and raked in millions of dollars selling its patent-pending system called “Rational Inquiry”. Selling five-day courses for more than $10,000, NXIVM is said to provide “training in areas such as internal ethic, logical analysis, and problem-solving skills”.

The creation of fake African countries by colonial powers to keep an economic stronghold on them? The putting in place of corrupt puppet governments that do not build infrastructures for its people? The IMF imposing strict economic restrictions on these countries to help Bilderberg-backed multinational corporations? Yeah…no, that’s boring…and that goes against the interests of their “masters”. Yup, don’t want people to know that the ones making you feel bad about the problem are the ones who actually created it. Let’s make stupid Illuminati jokes instead.

Nxivm hired Richard Branson's island Necker, for a Nxivm founding seminar event.
He rented out Necker for plenty of seminars. With orgs that had nothing to do with him.

Richard Branson unfortunately did not know who Nxivm were entirely.

The claimed letter/video has totally didrepresented Branson.
He wrote to them to accept their hiring his island for the seminar event.

He may have been there when they had it. But he doesn't live on Necker all the time.

His involvement with them is negligible.
And in my veiw totally exaggerated.

Renting out your place for a seminar...does not instantly mean you are a member or involved with a group.

There are pics of him appearing to party with them. But hey, everyone wants a pic of standing near Richard Branson.

And. There is no evidence to connect Richard Branson to Nxivm since. Absolutely nothing.

I don't hold much value in the so called true revealing videos every Tom dick and Harry create and put up.

Because alot of them are just made up nonsense. As you know.

That's why I don't watch alot of them.

I prefer verified sources of info. Not a video of some random who claims something. About someone.

I'm not claiming Richard Branson is an angel.

It's just that there are people with motives to discredit his image. Cause he does so much philanthropy.

You see rarely...do you .... a billionaire who's heart's in the right place.
Imagine how much that would annoy dark energies.
And the Elite.

So what do they attempt.
A destruction of his image.

Also you recall how Richard Branson saved the UK 80's singer, Boy George.

We both know this. Because we both read Boy George's Autobiography, Take It Like Man.

You will recall that in that autobiography Boy George recounts how unbelievably patient Richard Branson was with Boy George's long out of control Heroin addiction.

And how Branson eventually wrote to Boy George, the most polite helpful letter.

And it went like this...words to the effect of,

'I think we would both agree that you have a problem. If you would like help with this problem. Get in contact with me'

I don't think as a manager of Boy George and owner of Virgin records I would have been quite so patient and polite with Boy George.
Given the ridiculous amount of money Boy George was causing Richard Branson to lose.

In very bad international performances where Boy George was completely high on stage. Ineffective booked recording dates where Boy George threw endless drug induced tantrums.
And walked out.
Boy Georges insults to important people.
Scenes in hotels.
And his basically singlehanded sabotage of his own music career.
And reputation.

And who was it that saved Boy George from years of this?

Richard Branson. And his wife.
If you recall they sheltered/hid him at their home from the huge Press interest....and got him what was then considered therapy for Herion Addiction.
It didn't work initally. Boy George relapsed several times.

But it was Richard Branson who owned the label that Boy George was initially signed. And signed to at that time. And who discovered him in a way.

Personally I would have dropped Boy George from my label had he wasted so much money. And been so rude and insulting about it at the same time.

But Richard Branson has never been all about the money.
And he worked tirelessly to get Boy George clean.
Giving him free reign to make his choices.

You can claim that Richard Branson did this because Boy George was his product.
But that argument doesn't stand up.

And record labels will end your contract far sooner. If you are deliberately sagotaging your career.

At least if they can legally do it.

Richard Branson did not go down this route.
