Bill Gates' For-Profit AstroTurf in Africa, Promoted by Gates-Funded 'News' Sites

"Rich uncle from America..."

Bill Gates



Summary: Bill Gates is trying to extract profit from the world's poorest people

The Gates-funded press is still grooming this lobbyist who subsidises his barrage of propaganda. Watch the lobbyist taking PR photos like the ones here (with black children) to promote Windows software. The only thing worse than that is his Monsanto/GMO lobbying in Africa, which he does by lobbying African leaders directly [1, 2, 3, 4]. The above largely-circulated piece reads almost like a press release and it was posted in many regional news sites/press releases outlets. It was possibly ghostwritten by the Gates Foundation, which is not unusual (there are peripheral PR agencies that do it by proxy). "Former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Chairman of the John A. Kufuor Foundation," says the placement, "over the weekend held high level discussions in London with Mr Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft Corporation" (like he knows anything about the area he lobbies on).



"Africa is passing a lot of taxpayers' money to companies that Gates invests in and it's no coincidence."Gates lobbying for profit under the disguise of "doing good" and "I know what I talk about because I'm rich" (apparently he deems himself an economist now). Watch this shallow piece from the press of Gates' spying business partner [1, 2]. It neglects to say that Gates' investments are causing polio in Nigeria [1, 2] and looking at the corresponding press release we find that the Gates-bribed AllAfrica is pretty much run by Gates now, The press release was posted online by the Bill Gates-bribed site ("AllAfrica" is a misnomer, pretending that they speak for Africans while actually funded by those who pillage and plunder Africans, see here for the latest 'plant'), along with totally fabricated/bogus figures (based on made-up patent tariffs and money raised from taxpayers against their will, due to lobbying) that are intended to make the hoarder sound like he is generous."Gates Foundation will match two-to-one," it says. Well, in other words, make up some figures, get to hoover taxpayers' money for Gates profit. It's the same old trick. After some searches we found just one more site that covered it and it played to the tune of Gates. Yes, Times of India reposting the press release with some editing is what we found. showing that Times of India is not a real news site. Gates has killed journalism, so now he can steal everyone's money without anyone calling him out on it. He got 7 billion dollars richer last year alone. Africa is passing a lot of taxpayers' money to companies that Gates invests in and it's no coincidence.
