Billions for Indoctrinating Children


Footage from the Gates deposition (quotes for humour's purpose only)



Summary: Bill Gates is trying to put "pedometers" on the arms of all children, monitoring and controlling their minds

TOBY reminds us that "Bill Gates Pays Media to Portray Him As a Saint" -- an issue we have not touched in a while due to lack of time. He adds this newer link on "Neuromarketing: Bill Gates designs new bracelet for students to monitor, and measure 'engagement physiologically'."



And we should accept this why exactly? The Gates Foundation does a lot of bad things, but media spin that it is buying helps conceal the facts (at the expense of a million dollars per day allocated just to media manipulation). All we are left with is a tax-funded system which is subverted by plutocrats for control of children. As this one report puts it:

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has poured more than $4 billion into efforts to transform public education in the U.S., is pushing to develop an "engagement pedometer." Biometric devices wrapped around the wrists of students would identify which classroom moments excite and interest them -- and which fall flat.


Controlling children is not charity. In fact, the failure of the corporate press to chastise Gates for this is indicative of cowardice.
