Bonum Certa Men Certa

Society Still Occupied by Bill Gates and Other Plutocrats

Summary: A roundup of some recent news about Microsoft's criminal co-founder and his siege against the poor, the oppressed, or his competition, including free press and the truth

BASED on the headings in The Guardian, Bill Gates continues to funnel money (via proxy) for his publicity charades and for The Guardian to never criticise him or his investments (as The Guardian used to do before it got bribed by Gates). We are currently in contact with a person who is intimately aware of Gates funds being misused in the developing world (more on that soon), basically alleging that through personal involvement he saw how in places like Africa Gates was doing harm, not good. Now, watch how the the Gates-funded The Guardian helps Gates abduct the "Ubuntu" brand/term (with a Gates advertisement at the top). This is a regular thing. It's lobbying and it is corrupting the press.



There are other areas that Gates is corrupting, including for example US education. The Gates Foundation must have just suffered a major setback as its lobbying for Common Core (using publicly-funded schools to indoctrinate the next generation for plutocrats) got struck out by a governor [1]. "In other good news from that article," wrote a person in this comment, "my state, Oklahoma, is considering ditching Common Core."

People who don't quite grasp how harmful Gates and his ilk have been to this world should recall Microsoft's relationship with the NSA, which is ideologically tied to Gates' support of the NSA (he has privatised surveillance also and significant investments in G4S).

It has become clear, owing to disclosures from the "Occupy" movement, that the surveillance apparatus protects plutocrats like Gates from the vast majority of the population. Read the new story "David "Debt" Graeber evicted, implicates NYPD intelligence, claims revenge-harassment for OWS participation" (the FBI was shown to have characterised Occupy as "low-level terrorism" and treated it as such). It's class war. Don't look for enemies among the lower classes or immigrants (xenophobia). The enemies are well groomed, well known, and we are regularly shown them in corporations-owned media. These are neither scapegoats nor poetic villains; they are people who know very well what they are doing and hence they try to buy our schools, the media, politicians, and everything else which forms our perception of the world.

Related/contextual items from the news:


  1. Gov. Mike Pence signs bill to ditch Common Core
    Less than four years after Indiana became an early adopter of the national Common Core education standards, Gov. Mike Pence signed legislation Monday making Indiana the first state to opt out of the controversial school guidelines.

    But the law does not prohibit parts of Common Core from being written into new standards that are expected to be voted on by the state Board of Education late next month.
