READERS who have followed the news closely enough (not Gates-sponsored 'news') probably know a thing or two about the Gates Foundation's 'philanthropy'. It's no secret that the Gates Foundation harms Africans, as even the media occasionally points out. We're reproducing the above video again.

"A lot of the media, having been bribed by Gates, produced puff pieces about this (just what it was paid for)."Someone who left Microsoft told us some hours ago about "Bill Gates and Monsanto". "It’s funny," he said, that "back in 2010, Bill Gates bought like 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock worth roughly 23 billion dollars with the goal of “feeding the world.”. However, something completely overlooked is how similar the Microsoft and Monsanto business models are in that they are predicated almost entirely on their ability to lock businesses into their products. Regardless of what Bill Gates says his justifications are for investing billions into probably the most unethical and damaging company of the post-modern world, it seems as if his true motivations can be reduced to the simple act of game respecting game. I truly think Bill Gates invested in them because they’re basically the Microsoft of the agriculture industry."

Techrights wrote many articles about that at the time, several dozens in fact (the archives or site search will reveal some). A lot of the media, having been bribed by Gates, produced puff pieces about this (just what it was paid for). Gates spent many years doing 'charm offensives' in India and in Africa for the same reason Microsoft lied about "loving" Linux (a strategy which goes back to the Ballmer days). Remember the "computer on every desk" nonsense? More like "Microsoft tax" on each desk. ⬆
