A new report from Substack author Jon Fleetwood, of JonFleetwood,com, charges that a "macabre" project funded by Bill Gates, "chemically embalms newborn corpses for weeks to harvest tissues for AI, forensics, and global surveillance."
The study was called "Exploring minimially invasive tissue sampling as an alternative to conventional autopsy in neonatal deaths," and appeared just days ago in "Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology."
The Substack report explained the embalming and preservation was done on dead newborns "so their organs could be harvested, catalogued, and standardized into databases tied to artificial intelligence, forensic investigations, and global mortality surveillance programs."
The author explained, "The new study comes after Gates financed the 'Baby Open Brains' project, where researchers at the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain released MRI scans of infants as young as one month old into global AI databases to build the backbone for a nationwide government brain-tracking program."
The report warned the new program followed a Gates-funded tuberculosis vaccine trial in South Africa that left 260 previously healthy children infected with TB.
It also accused Gates of backing gain-of-function schemes, those research projects in which scientists take a deadly disease and work to make it deadlier, or more infectious.
The report charged:
The new Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology study recruited 100 dead infants from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India. According to the authors, 'The neonates were recruited from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Department of Pediatrics. CDA and MITS were conducted at the Centre for Foetal and Perinatal Pathology, Department of Pathology, after obtaining written informed consent from parents/guardians.'
Stillbirths, macerated babies (stillborn infants whose bodies had already decomposed in the womb), and fetuses were excluded. These were live-born infants, mostly premature and extremely low-birth weight, who died shortly after delivery.
The report said that instead of traditional autopsies, researchers used biopsy needles to pierce the brain, lungs, liver and more, for study.
The bodies were injected with formalin for preservative.
"In plain terms, newborn corpses were chemically embalmed for up to two months while researchers harvested their tissues," the report said.
Despite the study's own documentation of failures, the assessment was that the technique was "feasible."
A report at LifeNews said, "The initiative … could spark outrage among those who view it as a disturbing exploitation of vulnerable lives."
"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a gruesome study that involves embalming dead babies with plastic to harvest their tissues for AI forensics and surveillance," warned Modernity.
LifeNews added, "The Gates Foundation's involvement is seen as particularly troubling given its history of funding abortion."

You just can't stereotype California. In a state known derogatorily as the land of "fruits and nuts," where anti-Christian agendas are common, where faith often is considered a defect, one school district has gone into court to restore opening prayer to its board meetings.
Joel Oster, of Advocates For Faith & Freedom, said in an interview with CBN that the dispute centers around the Chino Valley Unified School District.
It believes an injunction from the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals barring those invocations is wrong.
And the ban should be removed, the case argues.
"About 10 years ago, a lawsuit was filed against Chino Valley claiming that their practice of opening up a school board meeting with prayer violated the Establishment Clause, and the Ninth Circuit agreed and entered an injunction, and they based that injunction on what is called the Lemon Test," the lawyer explained in the report.
However, that "Lemon test" standard later was abandoned, in the Joe Kennedy case, by the Supreme Court.
"The Supreme Court has now overturned the Lemon Test and said it's not good law. It doesn't respect how the Establishment Clause should be enforced [and] should be interpreted," Oster explained.
That provides the foundation for the Chino Valley's argument that the 9th Circuit's old decision was wrongfully decided, and it should be thrown out.
The CBN report explained why he believes it's permissible to begin school board meetings with prayer, noting it all comes down to history and legality.
"Prayer before school board meetings … is something that has been going on in our nation's history since before the Constitution was even drafted," he said. "And prayer has … been used to start deliberative bodies for centuries. There's been a congressional prayer …for as long as there's been a Congress."
And, he noted, it's just wrong to tell religious people they're "not welcome."
"Whenever you do open up a deliberative session with a prayer, it just helps to bring solemnity," Oster said in the CBN report. "It helps to bring wisdom to an event, helps to focus people on the task at hand, and, so, for that reason, the Supreme Court has said that prayers are allowed, they are constitutional to open up deliberative body sessions."
He said he believes Chino Valley will succeed, and courts will see that opening prayers are not a constitutional violation.

License-plate reader technology was around long before artificial intelligence. But critics warn that it provides a foreshadowing of some of the dangers that could be coming.
It is the Institute for Justice that now has announced a nationwide campaign to push back against the "arbitrary and unrestrained" use of the cameras used in that tech.
Already, there are cameras across thousands of American communities, but there are major concerns about violations of the U.S. Constitution.
"The Fourth Amendment problems with this unregulated mass surveillance are only getting worse as communities around the country begin using ALPRs or expand their existing surveillance networks," said IJ lawyer Michael Soyfer. "Nationwide, police are now using ALPR cameras to track the locations and movements of countless law-abiding people who have never been suspected of any crime."
The campaign, called The Plate Private Project, will combine IJ's litigation, legislation, activism, and media capabilities regarding the warrantless search industry.
Private companies benefit from the campaigns to monitor all of a city's citizenry, getting paid for cameras, monitoring, recording, and more.
Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions, PlateSmart and others are involved.
"Unlike red-light cameras or speed cameras that are triggered by specific violations, these cameras photograph every vehicle that drives by and can use artificial intelligence to create a profile with identifying information that then gets stored in a massive database," the IJ explained.
"Once that happens, officials can search the database for any vehicle they wish, all without a warrant."
The results can reveal in an individual goes to a hospital or church, a gunshop or a friend, and how often.
"Departments around the country are automatically sharing data with each other, making it simple for police anywhere to track drivers' movements," the warning said.
"All of this arbitrary discretion threatens people's privacy, security, and freedom of movement by creating an atmosphere where everyone knows they are being watched and tracked whenever they hit the road. "
Joshua Windham, IJ lawyer, added, "Because police don't need to obtain a warrant before searching these databases, they can search for nefarious reasons or no reason at all. As currently used, these cameras are ripe for abuse."
Already, reports have included police using the cameras to stalk former girlfriends, sharing data with federal investigators, and providing bogus justifications for data hunts.
The IJ said its project "will propose model legislation in state legislatures to protect against warrantless ALPR surveillance, partner with local grassroots activists to help them resist the use of these cameras in their communities, and continue fighting in the courts to strengthen the Fourth Amendment's protections against this new form of warrantless surveillance."
Further, it will provide details to people who want to learn about the spying that goes on in their own communities.
Already, one judge has ruled in an IJ case that the use of more than 170 Flock Safety cameras confirms "a reasonable person could believe that society's expectations [of privacy] are being violated by the Norfolk Flock system."

A Florida teacher under fire for attacking a student with conservative values now needs to be fired, "and never allowed to teach again in Florida," according to state Attorney General James Uthmeier.
He sent a letter to the school board of Alachua County, demanding an investigation into a situation described by Crystal Marull at a state board of education meeting.
"If these facts bear out – and we have no reason to doubt Dr. Marull's veracity – then this teacher should be immediately terminated, and never allowed to teach again in Florida," the AG wrote in his letter.
He described: "Yesterday, Crystal Marull testified before the State Board of Education that a teacher from your county allowed students to label Dr. Marull's son a 'Naziphile' because of his interest in World War II history and participate in ROTC. That same teacher nominated her son 'Most Likely to Become a Dictator' due to his conservative values, had his classmates vote on the 'award,' and tried to force the student to the front of the class to receive a certificate, which he correctly refused."
That is a likely violation of state law, Uthmeier said.
"Florida law prohibits bullying and harassment. The Alachua County School Board's policy also prohibits bullying and harassment. Indeed, teachers must adhere to the Principles of Professional Conduct for the Education Profession in Florida. Teachers must not 'harass or discrimination against any student on the basis of … political beliefs,' 'intentionally expose a student to unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement,' 'unreasonably deny a student access to diverse points of view,' 'unreasonably restrain a student from independent action in pursuit of learning,' 'intentionally suppress or distort subject matter relevant to a student's academic program,' or expose a student to 'conditions harmful to learning,'" the letter charged.
The teacher, he said, "violated Floria law, the school board's policy, and no less than six ethical principles."
A report in the Alachua Chronicle said the board's reaction was to put the teacher on administrative leave immediately.
And Uthmeier noted, "Despite this teacher's nasty immaturity, we commend this young man for his strength in the face of rank political discrimination. Remove this teacher from the classroom. Parents and students in Alachua deserve better."
The teacher had told Marull earlier, "I do apologize that [your son] was offended by the Class Superlative. Class Superlatives are an activity I have been doing with all my classes for the last four years. I give students the option to change or add superlatives to the list from previous years and then the class nominates students and votes on the winner. I was not aware that [your son] was upset that he was nominated for that superlative a few weeks ago. To my knowledge, he did not ask to be removed when he was nominated or when the class voted. When I passed them out today, I reiterated that they were just for fun. These were not meant to be offensive. I do apologize."
But Marull charged, "This is just one incident emblematic of the litany of abuses and offenses that conservative families face in this district. Not only was it wholly inappropriate, the apology was hollow, and although I reported this to a school board member at the time, the board failed to follow up with any consequences."
WND had reported Marull also noted another son was barred from sitting with a friend "because a parent objected to my perspectives on book challenges."
Marull has been fighting woke books in the school system for years, and on Tuesday, she said on X: "School libraries are not a safe space. There are so many dark forces afoot, parents need to wake up.
"The groomers and pedophiles have infiltrated the school libraries! The 'banned book' arguments are all just a cover for their dark purposes."
From social media comments came a description of the teacher's actions: "Satanic."
And, "Why are we allowing teachers to bully conservative students? @EDSecMcMahon @HarmeetKDhillon."
And, "Hell, JAIL the teacher, this is child abuse."

Euthanasia, the deliberate medical industry killing of victims, has become more and more common around the world in recent years. In Canada, it's routinely offered, instead of medical treatment, to people with nothing more than depression. In the United States, more and more state legislatures are adopting the "assisted suicide" schemes that kill residents.
But it is one scheme, in France, that has actually alarmed even the progressives at the United Nations.
There, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has told the French government to respond to serious concerns about its "radical" plan authorizing and promoting euthanasia and assisted suicide.
According to a report from the American Center for Law and Justice, whose affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice alerted the U.N. about problems, said the bill "seems to target persons with disabilities, and coerces religious clinics and retirement homes to comply or face punishment."
The French plan already has been endorsed by Emmanuel Macron and been adopted in the National Assembly. He awaits confirmation in the French Senate.
"First, as a matter of principle, it violates the prohibition on killing and describes euthanasia and assisted suicide as forms of so-called 'medical care,' deceptively framed as merely offering 'aid in dying.' Even more alarming, it uses a subjective criteria of suffering, including individuals with mental illness and disabilities," the ACLJ warned.
"The proposed euthanasia procedure could occur in a shockingly quick turnaround – carried out within a week – based solely on the decision of a single physician without any judicial oversight. Families would not be allowed to oppose the killing of their loved one, and compliance with the policy would only be reviewed a posteriori, or after the patient's death," the pro-life organization said.
"Extremely disturbing is that medical and social institutions — including religious clinics and retirement homes — would be forced to permit euthanasia on their premises, while pharmacists would be legally required to supply the lethal drugs used. The bill even creates a new crime of obstruction, punishable with up to two years in prison and fines of €30,000, effectively criminalizing any attempt to prevent or question an assisted suicide."
The ECLJ now is challenging the plan under international law, specifically the U.N. Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
That 2006 treaty sets out the rights of the disabled, and countries are legal bound to follow, if they've adopted it.
The ECLJ has informed the U.N. of the human rights violations embedded in France's agenda, and as a result, the U.N. told France of the "credible information indicating that if the above-mentioned piece of legislation is approved, it would result in an infringement of the duty of the state party to respect, protect and guarantee the right to life of persons with disabilities."
Among the concerns is the U.N.'s perception that "proposed eligibility criteria . . . appear to be based in ableist perceptions of the quality and value of the life of persons with disabilities.":
The ACLJ explained, "In fact, under the proposed law, a disability alone could be sufficient grounds for euthanasia or assisted suicide, if the person suffers physically or psychologically. This refers to what the U.N. CRPD calls 'ableist.' It also raised concerns about the lack of 'alternatives to assisted dying,' the creation of a new felony of obstructing assisted suicide, and the very short mandatory cooling-off period of only two days before euthanasia or assisted suicide can be performed.":
France has been trying to delay a response, which now isn't expected until the end of the month.
"It is extremely unusual for a U.N. Committee to intervene during a national legislative process, but in this case, it is fully justified given the dangerous nature of the bill. We must never forget that the U.N. was founded in response to the horrific crimes of Nazi Germany, including the state-sanctioned euthanasia of the innocent," the ACLJ warned.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states euthanasia is always a crime and can never be justified.

Officials in Cincinnati have charged the white man beaten by multiple blacks with a crime related to the July 26 late-night racial street brawl.
As Fox News reported, on Wednesday, authorities charged the unidentified 45-year-old white man with disorderly conduct for his part in the fight.
Police are not legally allowed to identify the man at this time. Under Marsy's law, victims of crimes are allowed to have their names withheld from the public.
According to the Fox report, authorities did not indicate what the man specifically did to warrant a disorderly conduct charge.
The charge comes after black community leaders in Cincinnati last week demanded the white man's prosecution, citing a video appearing to show him slapping one of the black individuals before the all-out assault.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, those leaders said the footage proved the white man should be facing at least the same charges as the six black Cincinnatians who brutally beat him and a white woman, Holly, who had tried to intervene to stop the melee, which left six people injured altogether.
At a press conference Aug. 11, Senior Pastor Tracie Hunter of the Western Hills Brethren In Christ Church demanded that the bald white man face criminal charges after citing the charges that had been filed against the black participants.
"Because those six individuals were charged with aggravated assault, which is a felony, the white guy incited or urged six other people to commit a felony, which means based on part B of the statute, he should be charged with inciting to violence, a felony of the third degree," Hunter claimed.
"If the riot is because of a slap, who incited the riot?" asked Rev. Damon Lynch. "Why are the only people being charged are the ones who look like me?"
Other black elected officials have made inflammatory statements about the incident, with Councilwoman Victoria Parks of Cincinnati saying the victims in the brawl "begged for that beat down," drawing calls for her resignation.

People who are in the United States on student visas have participated in events that left assault cases on their records.
Or burglaries cases, and DUIs, even records of support for terrorism.
And now 6,000 times, those visas have been pulled.
"Every single student visa revoked under the Trump administration has happened because the individual has either broken the law or expressed support for terrorism while in the United States," a senior State Department official said in a statement to Fox News.
"About 4,000 visas alone have been revoked because these visitors broke the law while visiting our country, including records of assault and DUIs."
Those whose records now includes assault – about 800 – either faced arrest or charges stemming from an assault.
Between 200 and 300 cases involved "support for terrorism," and they engaged "in behavior such as raising funds for the militant group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department has designated as a terrorist organization," the official told Fox.
Some of the cases that have developed so far in 2025 also are for overstays.
"The Trump administration has launched multiple initiatives aimed at cracking down on immigration and revoking visas of those attending academic institutions in the U.S.," the Fox report explained. "Those who've publicly protested supporting Palestine have faced heightened scrutiny, as one example, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in May that the administration was reviewing the visa status of students."
The Department of State said overall, about 40,000 visas have been canceled in 2025, up from 16,000 during the same time period under Joe Biden's Washington regime.
The State Department official said the revocation of visas isn't new.
But Secretary of State Marco Rubio has explained, "We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities."
According to the report, Democrats complained the Trump administration, by enforcing the law, is violating due process.
The Trump administration already has taken several steps to other accountable those who violate U.S. law, including "unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence."

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 mandate era, tens of thousands of service members who were forced to leave the U.S. military, or who left on their own over the issue, are now being invited back. However, relatively few have expressed a desire to return to a military that, not long ago, trampled on their freedoms.
On July 26, Stuart Scheller, senior adviser to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, turned his focus to the reinstatement process. While many commended him for his effort, he also made a statement that heightened the concerns of those who were negatively impacted by the 2021 mandate and who continue to demand that some senior military leaders be held accountable for illegally enforcing the experimental shot.
"… [M]any who exited the service because of poor treatment over the shot refusal want retribution. I get tagged every day with posts questioning when commanders at every level of the military will be thrown in jail for 'illegally enforcing the COVID vaccine.' That's not going to happen. Time to move forward."
Two days after Scheller's statement, this reporter emailed him requesting clarification of what could be interpreted as saying military leadership will not be held accountable for enforcing the "unlawful as implemented" mandate. To date, no response has been received from Scheller.
WorldNetDaily spoke to retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, a former UH-60 Black Hawk pilot and battalion commander.
"Quite disappointed" by Scheller's lack of response, Gaub said, "Those who have risked a lot and lost a lot in the fight for liberty are begging and asking for transparency from every agency." Service members and veterans, as well as the American people, want "absolute truth and honesty from everybody involved," he added.
Failure to demand accountability on behalf of the tens of thousands of service members adversely affected by the COVID-19 mandate is "a break in trust with the very people who make the military what it is," said Gaub. "It doesn't matter what else you do, because if you break trust and refuse to restore it to the people who make up the military, your military will never be as strong and as sound as you want it to be."
"You have to have accountability to restore trust," he added, "and those who willingly and knowingly violated laws and ethical standards to push the jabs need to be held accountable regardless of rank or position." Whatever "the smoke and mirrors or the cover story" military leaders who enforced the mandate try to create, he said, "they need to be held 100 percent accountable."
"If that doesn't happen, especially in the four years of this [Trump] administration, you will never see trust restored," Gaub stressed, because without real accountability, "they'll miss any chance of rebuilding the backbone of what makes the military strong and what makes it lethal."
What would accountability look like? For Gaub, it would mean some senior military leaders considered for courts-martial. He would even advocate that such proceedings be televised, to show the American people that law breakers, even in the military, will not be tolerated. In addition, he said, "their retirement grade should be based on their last known honorable conduct," which would have occurred before the now-rescinded 2021 vax mandate.
Bottom line, said the former Army chopper pilot and battalion commander: "If you can't promise the people sitting at home that their children will not be put in the same position and not have to suffer the consequences" of upholding their moral and religious convictions to object to an unproven and experimental shot, "you'll never have the best and brightest of America go into a system that's going to chew them up and spit them out."
On the other hand, WND also spoke to an Air Force officer who agreed with Scheller. A fighter pilot affected by the mandates, and who asked to have his name withheld for this story, he considers it "impractical to fire people or anything else of the sort, [arguing that] just because they violated 10 U.S.C. § 1107a does not mean they have criminal liability." The U.S. Code should have required informed consent for the "emergency use" of the COVID-19 shot. However, this was not provided to service members.
Despite the law, he suggested, "the Defense Department's best policy for righting wrongs is in a large-scale policy change for vaccines."
According to the Air Force officer, "We are not in a place to fire tons of people, nor do we need to." He agreed that investigations need to be done, but said, "our [military] community is asking way too much, taking a major win [with the Trump administration only to] squander it with a lot of unreasonable requests that will only alienate the administration."
Having survived the COVID era with the ability to continue serving his country, the Air Force officer said, "It can't always be perfect, and if I've learned anything from this fight, you have to take small wins by baby steps and make influential friends in the process, even if they don't agree on your end state."
The Air Force officer stressed his views do not represent those of the Department of Defense or Department of the Air Force.
Regarding the series of questions submitted to Scheller by this reporter, the Air Force officer said he is particularly interested in knowing how service members can be assured that a similar illegal and harmful mandate will not happen again, as it did in both the anthrax and COVID-19 eras.
"While I share the Department of Defense's desire to move forward," he acknowledged, "I would like to see some significant increases in medical freedom in the DoD." For example, he noted, "There's no reason to lose service members over a flu shot or a Japanese encephalitis vaccine."
Finally, Gen. Mike Flynn, former national security adviser at the start of Donald Trump's first term as president, just posted on X about an open letter, titled "Declaration of Military Accountability," having been officially entered into the Congressional Record. Signed by 231 active service members and veterans, the letter demands accountability over the Defense Department's highly controversial enforcement of the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The signatories state, "In the coming years, thousands within our network will run for Congress and seek appointments to executive branch offices, while those of us still serving on active duty will continue to put fulfilling our oaths ahead of striving for rank or position.
"For those who achieve the lawful authority to do so, we pledge to recall from retirement the military leaders who broke the law and will convene courts-martial for the crimes they committed."

The starting quarterback for the New York Jets, Justin Fields, recently explained to the media what has helped renew his outlook on life and his career: his "low-key addiction" to reading the Bible.
The 26-year-old was asked about what has helped him in making a fresh start with the Jets, taking over this year for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"Really getting closer to God, like I said, my relationship, me reading the Bible every day, and if I'm being real, there are some great lines and great wisdom that I didn't even know of. So I'm low-key addicted to getting in my Bible every day just because I learn something new and I'm able to apply it in my everyday life," said Fields.
"I wish I would have started earlier. So I encourage you all to go read a little bit. Start in Proverbs and move on from there," Fields added.
Out of Ohio State, Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Jets after playing on the Pittsburgh Steelers last year.
A seemingly large percentage of NFL quarterbacks are professing Christians. WND columnist Jack Cashill delved into the issue in 2020.
