It's a common trope on the left that nobody ever identified any of today's "systemic inequities", or tried to do anything about it, until roughly six months ago. In fact such efforts have been underway for 50+ years - check out The Long Crusade by Wolters. The Gates Foundation was a late entrant notable mainly for the size of their checks, they were sort of the Vision Fund of education reform.
My uncle would run into him at computer hobbyist meetups..before DOS.. dude always sprawling notes but not contributing back like everyone else was .. go figure
Now there's a free spot in the list. Maybe some of the billionaire critics from here will make into it.
Gates and Ballmer, a pair of snakes. Paul Allen told how they once schemed to screw him over. Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, says that in 1982 he overheard Bill Gates, the other co-founder, discuss with Steve Ballmer, now the company's chief executive, how they could reduce Allen's share in the company by issuing themselves stock options. Hearing this, Allen charged into the room and broke up the conversation. Later Gates and Ballmer backed down and apologized. "I had helped start the company and was still an active member of management, though limited by my illness, and now my partner and my colleague were scheming to rip me off. It was mercenary opportunism, plain and simple,"
He's mainly talked because he's being constantly dragged out as commentator on various topics in mass media. But perhaps a bigger issue is his close connection to Epstein, even after Epstein went to jail, hence his divorce. https://www.thedailybeast.com/melinda-gates-warned-bill-gates-about-jeffrey-epstein Rather then only sending Ghislaine Maxwell to prison for sex trafficking to apparently nobody, I think we all deserve to see the client list. It's almost like ever since high level pedos started going to jail, Gates has been working overtime cheerleading for every cause the WEF crowd can come up with. Gates tried to claim it was all business, but... "Mr. Gates, in turn, praised Mr. Epstein’s charm and intelligence. Emailing colleagues the next day, he said: “A very attractive Swedish woman and her daughter dropped by and I ended up staying there quite late.”" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html Now where else does that name Dubin come up? https://www.insider.com/ghislaine-m...up-with-eva-andersson-dubin-testimony-2021-12 "Dubin's three children — all born in the 1990s — saw Epstein as an avuncular figure, she said. She identified a couple of photos found in Epstein's Palm Beach home that depicted her children spending time with the pedophile. The children called Epstein "Uncle Eff," she said, which was short for "Jeff." Insider has previously reported that the Dubin family remained closed with Epstein even after his jail stint for soliciting a minor for prostitution, in the late 2000s." Where else does Dubin come up... "Q Other than Glenn Dubin, Stephen Kaufmann, Prince Andrew, Jean Luc Brunel, Bill Richardson, another prince, the large hotel chain owner and Marvin Minsky, is there anyone else that Ghislaine Maxwell directed you to go have sex with? A I am definitely sure there is. But can I remember everybody's name? No." https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4355835/1090/13/giuffre-v-maxwell/ So we can place Bill Gates in the Epstein NYC apt on Jan 31, 2011, with girls that are potentially involved, in trafficking: https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffr...edish-teen-told-him-she-was-pressured-for-sex Perhaps, this was the apartment that had a lead-lined room under the staircase and hidden cameras... "Visitors described a bathroom reminiscent of James Bond movies: hidden beneath a stairway, lined with lead to provide shelter from attack and supplied with closed-circuit television screens and a telephone, both concealed in a cabinet beneath the sink" https://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/11/garden/home-sweet-elsewhere.html If you want more context on Epstein and his shady pals, Whitney Webb seems to have the best general coverage https://www.veteranstoday.com/2021/...-at-the-heart-of-the-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/
