OUR Wiki page about the Gates Foundation surpassed 200,000 page views some days ago. The page weaves together a lot of references that we have accumulated for nearly a decade (some references go back to the inception of the publicity stunt known as the Gates Foundation).
Earlier this month a Microsoft-connected (MSN) site reinforced the characterisation of Gates' so-called 'charity' as driven by the profit motive. To quote the opening:
The Microsoft Corp. co-founder and world’s richest person first declared his ownership position in Canadian National Railway back in 2000. The bet has paid off handsomely, with a stock-price gain of nearly 900% on the investment.
Under the auspices of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates and his wife dropped an effort to convince leaders in American Catholic leaders to adopt Common Core, Catholic Education Daily reports.
There’s a pretty good argument for saying that while Bill Gates may be the richest person in the world, the most powerful person in the world is an affable historian called David Christian.
