More Propaganda Films From Bill Gates Target 'Education' While His Education Lobby Expands to the United Kingdom

Imperialism the other way around

Old Union Jack



Summary: Bill Gates is trying to abduct and privatise the system which indoctrinates the public not just in the United States but also in other countries

The sad thing about US policy is, it often spreads to other countries sooner or later. This is especially true when it comes to the copyright industry. Concerns about Gates' abduction of US education policy is that it may, in turn, spread to other countries. Some years ago we saw Gates expanding its lobbying apparatus, the Gates Foundation, to the UK. Now we learn that the "UK to house a new national education center." It is Gates- and Hewlett-controlled, just like in the US where the Murdochs, Rockefellers, Broads, Waltons etc. seek to privatise and control children by their minds (schools). Here is a new report:



The National Center for Innovation in Education will be funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and UK, according to a UK news release.


The Gates family has not been hiding its vision and agenda for schools. This is a cumulatively multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for profit and control over minds of future adulls. Consider what we wrote in posts such as those found in the Gates Foundation wiki page .

There is more of the same going on this year. Gates is lobbying to change teaching methods (Gates himself never graduated from college or taught) and he is lobbying by funding generation of data supportive of his agenda. He is seeding awards to promote agenda, using money to control behaviour and policy. As one article put if: "The goal is to better align the district's budget with agreed-upon goals for reform. "

With strings attached then, eh? The Washington Examiner has this new article on the subject and it says:

Education watchdogs are raising concerns over the Gates Foundation’s involvement in shaping public education policy, saying the private foundation’s influence in public education policy interferes with the democratic process and local input.


Watch some nasty characters trying to label those who say the obvious "conspiracy therorists" and mind the comments. Even academics are now being insulted by Gates' minions. Remember that Gates is funding blogs, too, as long as they promote his agenda in education. Here is Gates funding and running conferences with agenda, working to give funds selectively, etc. "Of the 316 scholarships awarded," says this article, "more than a third -- 111 -- went to students at Friendship Collegiate Public Charter School, Dan Cronin, a spokesman for Friendship Public Charter Schools, announced Monday."

Charter school, eh? Sometimes Gates is giving loans -- not donations -- with lobbying strings attached, as shown here.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, another propaganda firm is coming to assist Gates' lobbying in education, including Microsoft agenda:

"'Someday, and that day may never come,' Don Corleone says famously in The Godfather, 'I'll call upon you to do a service for me.' Back in 2010, filmmaker Lesley Chilcott produced Waiting for 'Superman', a controversial documentary that analyzed the failures of the American public education system, and presented charter schools as a glimmer of hope, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-backed KIPP Los Angeles Prep. Gates himself was a 'Superman' cast member, lamenting how U.S. public schools are producing 'American Idiots' of no use to high tech firms like Microsoft, forcing them to 'go half-way around the world to recruit the engineers and programmers they needed.' So some found it strange that when Chilcott teamed up with Gates again three years later to make Code.org's documentary short What Most Schools Don't Teach, kids from KIPP Empower Academy were called upon to demonstrate that U.S. schoolchildren are still clueless about what computer programmers do. In a nice coincidence, the film went viral just as leaders of Google, Microsoft, and Facebook pressed President Obama and Congress on immigration reform, citing a dearth of U.S. programming talent. And speaking of coincidences, the lone teacher in the Code.org film (James, Teacher@Mount View Elementary), whose classroom was tapped by Code.org as a model for the nation's schools, is Seattle teacher Jamie Ewing, who took top honors in Microsoft's Partners in Learning (PiL) U.S. Forum last summer, earning him a spot on PiL's 'Team USA' and the chance to showcase his project at the Microsoft PiL Global Forum in Prague in November (82-page Conference Guide). Ironically, had Ewing stuck to teaching the kids Scratch programming, as he's shown doing in the Code.org documentary, Microsoft wouldn't have seen fit to send him to its blowout at 'absolutely amazingly beautiful' Prague Castle. Innovative teaching, at least according to Microsoft's rules, 'must include the use of one or more Microsoft technologies.' Fortunately, Ewing's project — described in his MSDN guest blog post — called for using PowerPoint and Skype. For the curious, here's Microsoft PiL's vision of what a classroom should be."


It says: "Innovative teaching, at least according to Microsoft's rules, 'must include the use of one or more Microsoft technologies.'"

Quite telling, eh? And this is the type of people we want controlling UK education? After we got rid of BECTA? Napoleon got exiled after his megalomania caused much stress to France. Maybe we should take a lesson from that.
