'Retired' Microsoft Staff and the Takeover of the Government

Summary: The DelBene couple (Microsoft executives) continues to take positions of power inside the US government while Bill Gates, a convicted monopolist, befriends key people in the Europe-wide government

CORRUPTION can be achieved in subtle ways by ensuring those who make decisions are your friends, are funded (bribed) by you, or are simply former employees of yours (i.e. on your payroll with potentially millions of dollars in salaries). Bill Gates, the world's biggest bandit, is a master of those three types of corruption. As this new article points out, it almost seems like the EU married Bill Gates (see photo from 2013) and is now buying from Microsoft (at taxpayers' expense) without even giving any competition a fair chance. To quote: "Despite being strong advocates of competition, European institutions are bound to the US software giant through murky contracts. Any transition to "open source" software, which in theory they encourage, would be too complicated and too expensive, they claim."



This in itself is a form of corruption. But never mind this. Let's look at some new example.

The Obamacare front end used GNU/Linux for quite some time and guess who infiltrates it? As iophk points out, it's "more entryism" as we have already explained what this man and his wife are doing, having been paid a fortune by Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

Remember how Mr. Hunter, a former Microsoft manager, was enabling billions of dollars in tax dodging by Microsoft? This is corruption. It's revolving doors.

There is another old tactic in use here. NSA's special partner Microsoft is taking over something very sensitive. The Seattle press is boosting this (it is bribed by Bill Gates) and it is very obvious why. Whoever let this Microsoft mole enter is letting Microsoft hold hostage people's medical data. It is assurance of bailout as this becomes a matter of life and death, as we pointed out years ago when Microsoft tried hard to make healthcare dependent on Microsoft.

This is removing any remaining illusion of privacy in healthcare, let alone justice.

Wait and watch how Microsoft moles turn Obamacare into Microsoft's toy. Will Obamacare be any better than Microsoft OneCare, which famously quarantined people's entire mail archive?

The above is not mere lobbying, it is entryism and abuse by supposedly 'retired' people. They seek to occupy positions of power beyond Microsoft, assisting their previous employer and colleagues. We saw this many times before. Nokia is a relatively recent and famous example.

"The key change in this year’s Actuarial Study, due to cascading the new “risk appetite” from the financial study, is a significant increase of the total pension contribution rate of 5.7 percentage points, up to a total of 37.8%. This is driven by an unprecedented decrease in the discount rate of 105 bps down to 2.2%."
