Open-Sourcing the Investigation of Gates Deposition Tapes and Their Relationship to Current (Present) Affairs

“This anti-trust thing will blow over. We haven’t changed our business practices at all.”

--Bill Gates (1995)

Bill Gates in Africa



Summary: The so-called 'philanthropist' and 'giver' that the media tells us Bill Gates suddenly became (he has earned another ~$10,000,000,000 since the pandemic began) needs further exposing because, having raided the software world (monopoly by law-breaking), he now does the same in other domains

WITH the Linux Foundation, OSI and many other institutions being infiltrated and usurped by Microsoft, the Bill Gates deposition may be more relevant than ever. We find many of the tactics exposed back then very much applicable to what happens at present and Gates isn't going to be interrogated again (or any time soon) because of his political connections.



"Gates was a businessman in 'geek' clothing 2-3 decades ago and nowadays he's a businessman in 'scientist' clothing (the media that he pays helps portray this college drop-out and vaccination profiteer as a vaccination guru)."We'd like to issue a call to our readers: please help our research by studying the videos and the transcriptions (we've published or re-published them all here). There's lots of stuff there which needs digging, followed by informed analysis. We did a couple of posts to that effect this afternoon. There can be dozens if not hundreds of posts just like these, explaining how the past relates to the present. The class war waged by Gates has since then extended to GMO, vaccines and many other areas. The same tactics are still being deployed, including infiltration of key institutions. Gates was a businessman in 'geek' clothing 2-3 decades ago and nowadays he's a businessman in 'scientist' clothing (the media that he pays helps portray this college drop-out and vaccination profiteer as a vaccination guru).
