After refusing to open source the mRNA covid vaccines, everyone should have seen the monster for who he is.
He also invested in Monstanto with his foundation money, and is a big proponent of it, and other toxic pesticides, and gm plants that are engineered to take more pesticides, and owns like 5% of the farmland in the US with his stupid tax free foundation to boot. (This guy has paid like zero taxes and put it all into his foundation instead, and used that for ill ends.)
He is also involved in trying to start geo engineering, pumping masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to blot out the sun, and attends a conference in switzerland every year where the companies coordinate on selling their practics, running PR and overcoming public opposition, on corrupting politicians for it, etc. They've done some test projects too. All on the argument that they know it's safe, because they are so smart, as if they had the data on interconnected variables to know that.
Then his intervention to prevent an open source vaccine as you mention, a vaccine that is not for profit, the very idea, Gates was afraid it would set off a chain reaction of, non overpriced medication?
The guy is delusional, he is surrounded by yes men that tell him what a genius he is, while he has bought self serving ad hoc chemical industry propaganda hook line and sinker, even as it's blatantly untrue. He has no credibility, even before considering he was an Epstein super friend.
You don't have to look further than how he quietly was just as monstrous at Microsoft as Jobs was at Apple. Was just saying the most recent claxon was not releasing the vaccine for purely robber barron reasons is so glaringly obvious to most people.
I remember a Simpsons episode where Homer sets up an internet business in his home office, and he's going about not knowing what he's doing and Gates shows up with a few big burly dorks. Gates says he learned he has this company, couldn't figure out what he did, but figures he should buy him out anyway.
Homer is thinking Score! I knew it, I'm rich! Play it cool...
Gates is like, Buy him out boys! The big nerds break all of his stuff and trash the place.
They were monopolistic for sure. Everything happening in every sector of the economy started back in the 80s and 90s if not sooner. By the late 90s the die was cast. Courts and regulators were captured as well as both parties, by an alliance of investors and corporations, with any opposing influences sidelined and diminished. Anti trust, competition laws were not enforced, and it's been nothing but consolidation of industry in every sector since, and unfair competition and market power keeping out challengers and using remaining regulations as market barriers while established players get away with murder.
First in telecommunications, then banking culminating in 1999 bank services modernization act, and the software companies followed by tech companies. They are openly flouting our anti trust laws with impunity, Microsoft has been for decades. Any anti trust has been too little too late, and adjudicated by courts they have senior high tiered leasing rights to.

Once you start paying attention, Kurzgesagt videos get a little uncomfortable. It's pretty clear how a lot of them are PR pieces for those exact things you mentioned.
And that's before you consider he's a rapist
don't get me started on that, I hate how they contradict themselves too
the one talking about mariguana was one of the worst I have seen in a long time
There was this critical video essay on kurzgesagt made a couple of years ago that I thought was worth a watch
Should take all his money and fund every women’s shelter and human trafficking support group.
What questions? He's a rapist. His ex wife divorced his ass over his friendship with Epstein.
Read the files. Ole Bill caught VD from the Island and asked Epstein how to secretly dose Melinda with antibiotics. She divorced him when she realized he gave her VD. Before that, she was fine with Epstein.
She might have been willfully ignorant up to that point. Once she had evidence she couldn't pretend to ignore she finally acted.
I saw reports that she spoke to at least one of the girls during her visit, wondering why she was there. So at best she stayed silent about the crimes she knew was happening.
And continues to
Not that it makes it okay, but I'm certain she has tons of non-disclosures she signed in the divorce.
Which is worse. The most likely deal was "Sign these NDAs Melinda and you'll get access to your husband's wealth in the divorce".
This means she willingly choose wealth over exposing more abuse.
Once she was actually affected by it all, she left. She was fine trucking along until then.
Humans jump through hoops to try and rationalize the bad acts of the people they like. Oftentimes that's what it takes for them to finely admit it to themselves. What's maybe even more important is what you do next. She has the resources to stand up with the victims, but she chose to remain silent.
man i was so confused by VD this VD that... VENEREAL DESEASE that's it! or even better!! say STI or STD!
STD is in a similar category: it’s an old term that’s no longer used because it’s inaccurate and misleading
but otherwise, yes: STI is the correct term
thanks for the info, it's just funny to me that STD was already an old and incorrect term but it still would be better than VD because at least I'm familiar with that abbreviation
"VD" feels like WWII era shit.
Way to ignore the point. Well done, all.
what else can I say about the main topic? lol
"bill gates is a piece of shit"

He should really sit down with a journalist to clear up all these wild accusations. I'm sure he can explain everything to us. Just like the former prince Andrew.
I love the photo from Andrew in the car after his twelve hour police examination:

The fear is so great, you can almost smell it
How is a younger Prince Andrew driving the car tho, this a time loop scenario?
Deceased ?

Funny how as cameras are everywhere and 4K, evidence seems to alway be blurry. Pretty hard at that distance to have that shallow a DOF. Slop.
