The Deeds and Misdeeds of Bill Gates Have International Impact

Impersonal issues; or why the actions of the world's loudest oligarch impact us in the UK as well

Those are real photographs by the way (and not too old, either)



Summary: We take a moment to explain the importance of exploring and explaining the political meddling by Bill Gates, a man who continues to double his wealth despite claiming to be the world's most generous person

THE occasional question we might receive is, why do we care so much about what Gates -- typically through his sham 'charity' -- is doing? The wife also. She's deeply involved.

Well, those aren't some camera-shy and low-profile people. Bill, for example, is known to be going routinely 'on air', marketing himself or branding himself vaccine guru even though he has no qualifications in the area.

Yesterday Ryan spotted this article in CNN (which regularly portrays Gates as a vaccine expert and gives him the platform as 'VIP' host). "Notice it doesn't say how he profits from this," Ryan said. "Just that he "backs" it. I'm not getting a Coronavirus vaccine until we know what we're dealing with."

Previously Ryan noted that the more the corporate media associates COVID-19 vaccines with Gates, the fewer people will be willing to take it. What does this media hope to accomplish and what proportion of that media is in fact being paid ('supported') by the sham 'charity'?

"It's someone whose engineer was amassing child pornography while the boss was flying planes with Mr. Epstein (without ever bothering to provide an explanation for it)."It takes a long time to properly develop and then test vaccines. If we're eager to mock Russia and Vladimir Putin for 'rushing to market' (in places that are poor, sort of like clinical trials on humans), why not mock what Gates is doing in Africa with this COVID-19 crisis and what he has done with other highly controversial drugs/procedures (FDA-rejected) in poor regions of Africa? Humans aren't like all animals (well, technically they may be) and even testing on animals is a form of animal cruelty. Much is already being said online regarding this controversial issue, noting that Gates views Africans like animals and that they try to spin this abuse as an act of tolerance, inclusiveness, opportunity.

We're not against vaccination, but when the CNN broadcasts headlines like "Bill and Melinda Gates-backed coronavirus vaccine maker soars in Wall Street debut" we must remind ourselves that Gates is not a vaccine expert but a vaccine profiteer (it's all about monopoly and control; see yesterday's article from Robert Reich, Profiteering off the Pandemic). Gates isn't in it for health or for science. He already spoke out on this issue -- on how it's all about money to him (financial returns).

Questions are left to be asked not only regarding his interference in US politics but politics all around the world, including Africa. This man isn't a philanthropist (nowadays just a synonym for "rich person" because they all call themselves that); it's someone who has behind him a lifetime of abuses, crimes and even arrests. It's someone whose engineer was amassing child pornography while the boss was flying planes with Mr. Epstein (without ever bothering to provide an explanation for it). The police had him busted at the entrance to the Gates mansion. It took the police nearly a year to finally pass files to us (after claiming for about half a year that the police department had trouble opening its very own files).

"It's no secret that Trump offered Gates a top job at the White House..."People who pull the "jealousy card" (that's something along the lines of, "you just criticise this guy because you're envious of his wealth") are dishonest if not obtuse. There are many billionaires whom we never criticise here; they don't plaster themselves all over newspapers and TV channels to promote themselves and they don't pay ('support') the media to do this for them. When this site was as young as one year we already published a number of articles about how Gates had been bribing the media to go 'soft' on Microsoft and on him. He is still doing that. Sooner or later one finds antitrust heat directed at Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon, with Microsoft conspicuously absent and instead being offered another monopoly (like GitHub) from Donald Trump himself.

In the coming years we intend to explore the cult/politician who's enabling all this. It's no secret that Trump offered Gates a top job at the White House and they have a lot in common (other than their close ties to Mr. Epstein). Microsoft isn't an ordinary corporation but a political animal personified by Gates.

"In the fall of 1982, Pam Edstrom [of Waggener Edstrom], a diminutive woman with piercing blue eyes, was recruited by Microsoft. [...] In modern-day business, flacks were responsible not only for avoiding bad press, but for spinning the good. [...] Hanson and Edstrom would spin a whole new image for Gates himself. They would tap the best and worst of Chairman Bill, changing his clothes, his voice, and his allegiances, driving him to become not just the boss, but, essentially, the company mascot—a sort of high-technology Colonel Sanders." --Pam Edstrom's daughter
