schestowitz__"Because they saw what had happened to the Shah and they were worried about the Soviets trying a similar trick in Iraq and slowly spreading across the oil producing countries.'Mar 31 18:02
schestowitz__"What trick? Getting rid of a dictator? And in Iran it were the soviets (the Ivan) who did it? And of course only the us has the right to spread worldwide.I hope at least you believe what you are writing."Mar 31 18:02

schestowitz__Hi Mark,Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Thanks for the additional information.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Gates Foundation is accountable mostly to itself, AFAIK. Over the years I saw many groups, including former partners, complaining about allocation of funds. This is documented by the press, too. In many cases, the funds disguise interest in patents and monopolisation of so-called solutions for the crowd Gates does not understand (can the richest person from the richest background since childhood really speak out for the poor and Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__grasp their woes?). In some cases, the Gates Foundation claims "transparency" and releases face-saving reports when partners (or former partners) complain. For this too I can provide lots of references as I covered it at the time. I no longer have time to keep up with Gates, but last I saw he kept looking for ways to lobby politicians to pass taxpayers money to his pet projects, including GMO and GSK-connected patent-boosting Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__investments/clinical trials on poor people.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Anyway, accountability assumes that there is separation between the corporate side and the federal side, and that one can monitor the other. But the boundaries have been blurred and there is now a marriage of tax-exempt 'charity', politics, and industrial partners.

schestowitz__If you want to shed light on this anonymously, without revealing your identity, the product, and company names, that would probably be possible.

schestowitz__I am eager to shed light on this without exposing any identity. I have done this dozens of times over the years and never caused any retribution/trouble my sources. It is up to you how you want to deal with the situation, but all I can say at this stage is, the system has been set up in such a way that there is no credible body to report this to. A lot of institutions/non-profits blindly assume benevolence on the part of those whoApr 05 01:52

schestowitz__Hi Mark,Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Thanks for the additional information.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Gates Foundation is accountable mostly to itself, AFAIK. Over the years I saw many groups, including former partners, complaining about allocation of funds. This is documented by the press, too. In many cases, the funds disguise interest in patents and monopolisation of so-called solutions for the crowd Gates does not understand (can the richest person from the richest background since childhood really speak out for the poor and Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__grasp their woes?). In some cases, the Gates Foundation claims "transparency" and releases face-saving reports when partners (or former partners) complain. For this too I can provide lots of references as I covered it at the time. I no longer have time to keep up with Gates, but last I saw he kept looking for ways to lobby politicians to pass taxpayers money to his pet projects, including GMO and GSK-connected patent-boosting Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__investments/clinical trials on poor people.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Anyway, accountability assumes that there is separation between the corporate side and the federal side, and that one can monitor the other. But the boundaries have been blurred and there is now a marriage of tax-exempt 'charity', politics, and industrial partners. I fear that the only way to fight back is to inform civil rights groups and inform the public. Over the years I found that more and more people recognise the Gates Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__Foundation for what it really is. It doesn't get a free pass.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__If you want to shed light on this anonymously, without revealing your identity, the product, and company names, that would probably be possible. As you did not encrypt your messages or used a remailer, you can assume the intel' community is already aware of this communication, but that does not automatically extend to the private sector.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__I am eager to shed light on this without exposing any identity. I have done this dozens of times over the years and never caused any retribution/trouble my sources. It is up to you how you want to deal with the situation, but all I can say at this stage is, the system has been set up in such a way that there is no credible body to report this to. A lot of institutions/non-profits blindly assume benevolence on the part of those whoApr 05 01:52
schestowitz__fund them*. The only time I see foundations being held accountable is when there's real journalism, such as what LA Times did 7 years ago.Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz_____Apr 05 01:52
schestowitz__*Some institutions/non-profits, including USAID for example, are de facto partners of these foundations, helping not only GMO monopolies but also the overthrow of "bad" leaders in Latin America.Apr 05 01:52
