Obama's medal for Gates



Summary: Bursting the bubble regarding software freedom from the "less extreme than Donald Trump" administration

TWELVE years ago we wrote a bunch of posts about Obama after he had been elected. We didn't blast him before the election because many can agree that a war criminal like Bush or McCain had to go (and if not to prison, then definitely out of politics). McCain is gone, Bush Sr. is also gone, Gates Sr. died a few months ago, but his son acts like nothing but a politician, actively working to loot the taxpayers.



"Sure, Trump was miles worse, but we're still not seeing politicians that respect people's freedom and software freedom."Now that Biden is elected and is being publicly instructed by Gates we must remember that despite being "not Sleepy Trump" (or "not Bush", who also won a medal by the way, presented by Biden himself), which is their main selling points, Establishment Democrats have little to offer to ordinary people. Sure, Trump was miles worse, but we're still not seeing politicians that respect people's freedom and software freedom. There's nobody to bribe sponsor them for that. Whoever wins two-party (corporate parties) elections, the plutocrats remain largely in power and in almost direct control of all the important decisions and policies.

Bill Gates meets with US President-elect TrumpThis message isn't to be misinterpreted as some pedophilia conspiracy theory or allegation that both corporate parties are equally bad. All we're saying is, we must carry on the fight and Biden will hardly be an ally; he'll be an obstruction, funded by special interests (rich people like Gates). The same was true for Obama (and yes, for Trump!).
