    He's on the cusp of more wealth (and control), has a shed load of technology health patents and technology platforms (he's actually a nerdy technologist at heart, not anything else), that are not only invasive, but could be a bigger earner than Windows, in the longer term.

    Are you trying to suggest this man is giving away all this money to earn more money for himself?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,775 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    Can anyone explain what the conspiracy is here?

    All this vague hinting with nothing of substance. What specific nefarious deed is Mr Gates pulling off right now?

    Since this population control thing went on, 1.5 billion people were added to earth's population. He seems to be doing a very bad job

    Imagine being Bill Gates right now?

    You spend 30 years of your life and $50 billion of your own dollars supporting humanitarian causes. You directly save hundreds of thousands of lives in South East Asia by providing anti-malaria netting to half of a continent, you drop infant mortality rates throughout the entire developing world by funding vaccine programs including vaccinating 40000000 children for polio, and, amongst a plethora of philanthropic endeavors, you fund free educational platforms like Khan Academy so people can have free access to high-quality education.

    Then after donating half of your wealth to charity and pledging 90% of the remainder to charity in your will..

    Arguably doing more to better life on earth for humanity than any other human being to ever live.

    You then hop on the internet only to find a million scientifically illiterate imbeciles that are using the very computers you pretty much invented in the first place to call you a child-murdering arch-villain antichrist because they watched a YouTube video made by some other yokel with the comprehension of a potato.

    Donate stock to your own charity write it off in taxes and still control the stock


    Gates, the world’s richest man, donated $4.6 billion worth of shares in Microsoft Corp in June — making this his largest donation in 17 years. Gates donated 64 million shares earlier this summer, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing released Monday and first shared by Bloomberg.

    The shares account for 5% of Gates’s fortune, and the donation reduced Gates’s stake in Microsoft stock to 1.3%. It is unclear who the recipient of the gift is, but it’s likely it will go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    https://money.com/bill-gates-donation-4-6-billion/


    Donating stock to charity offers a win-win for both you and the organization you’re donating to. A donation of stock allows you to deduct the full market value of the stock from your taxable income. Essentially, you’re taking a capital gain that you would otherwise owe taxes on and converting it into a deduction that will save you taxes on your normal income, so you’re avoiding taxes in two places. And the charity gets a larger donation than they could expect if you had to sell the stock and pay capital gains tax prior to making your donation.

    The Giving Pledge Is Just A Glorified Tax Break: Critics

    The brainchild of Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates, the Giving Pledge encourages the world’s richest people to pledge a majority of their wealth to charity while they’re still living. The goal is for members to have more control over how their money is distributed, and to motivate others to get involved in philanthropy.

    But, after four years, some say that the initiative is more self-congratulatory and self-serving than anything else.

    Against Big Philanthropy
    Philanthropy sounds nice, but it’s still a tax-sheltered way that plutocrats exercise power, says Stanford's Rob Reich.

    Then, with money that would have otherwise have gone to the government, where at least there is nominal democratic control over spending priorities, the philanthropists use that money on whatever social purpose they’ve decided to support.

    Is this system, as Reich describes it, really one that any democracy would want?

    “Instead of extending our enormous gratitude to the greatest philanthropists among us as these icons of civic beneficence, we should be scrutinizing and criticizing them,” Reich said. “Not because philanthropy is necessarily bad, but because it is an exercise of power.”

    More and more wealthy CEOs are pledging to give away parts of their fortunes – often to help fix problems their companies caused. Some call this ‘philanthrocapitalism’, but is it just corporate hypocrisy? By Carl Rhodes and Peter Bloom

    In the CEO society, corporate logic such as this rules supreme, and ensures that any activities thought of as generous and socially responsible ultimately have a payoff in terms of self-interest. If there was ever a debate between the ethics of genuine hospitality, reciprocity and self-interest, it is not to be found here. It is in accordance with this CEO logic that the mechanisms for redressing the inequality created through wealth generation are placed in the hands of the wealthy, and in a way that ultimately benefits them. The worst excesses of neoliberal capitalism are morally justified by the actions of the very people who benefit from those excesses. Wealth redistribution is placed in the hands of the wealthy, and social responsibility in the hands of those who have exploited society for personal gain.

    He and Melinda will give away at least 99% of their wealth. Not just dumping it on charities, but making sure it actually does something, like tackling issues of healthcare and poverty at source.

    But you seem to be suggesting there's something nefarious going on, what is it exactly?

    What's the conspiracy?

    "We are like prisoners," one worker at KYE Factory told the NLC, according to the report. "It seems like we live only to work. We do not work to live. We do not live a life, only work."
    That is one of the many statements casting a cloud over Microsoft's labor practices. Microsoft has been outsourcing production to the KYE factory since at least 2003, the NLC found, and the factory often makes peripherals such as mice, keyboards and webcams.

    And then you have a few old, “good” billionaires who bestow trustworthy, grandfatherly advice, and spread the wisdom of prudent management and boring, reliable investing strategies. But according to a new investigative report, even Warren Buffett, the poster, uh, grandfather for this kind of benevolent magnate doesn’t have the cleanest hands.

    “Clayton systematically pursues unwitting minority homebuyers and baits them into costly subprime loans, many of which are doomed to fail,” Mike Baker and Daniel Wagner write. Their alarming piece details practices such as Clayton employees lying about being the only lender on a Navajo reservation — and getting caught on tape telling the falsehood.

    The report found that Vanderbilt Mortgage, the lending arm of Clayton, lends with extremely high interest rates for minorities as opposed to their white counterparts. According to Baker and Wagner, “Federal data shows that Vanderbilt typically charges black people who make over $75,000 a year slightly more than white people who make only $35,000.”

    The late Robert W. Wilson, a philanthropist who donated $600 million over the course of his lifetime, expressed this concern when Bill Gates approached him about joining the Pledge.

    After Wilson committed suicide last year at age 87, BuzzFeed obtained emails exchanged between him and Gates in 2010.

    In one email, Wilson wrote that he was adamantly opposed to joining the Pledge because of a “loophole”:

    Your ‘Giving Pledge’ has a loophole that renders it practically worthless, namely permitting pledgees to simply name charities in their wills. I have found that most billionaires or near billionaires hate giving large sums of money away while alive and instead set up family-controlled foundations to do it for them after death. And these foundations become, more often than not, bureaucracy-ridden sluggards.

    Other detractors have expressed fear that the Giving Pledge would serve as a tax haven for the wealthy, and a way to set up trusts for their children.

    He (founder) was on the board at that time, although he left, he still carries influence and claimed will continue to steer the CEO, esp for 'healthcare software' (and implants) of which his interest is via vaccines, e-currency and Digital ID's.

    Not on a 'do you trust thread' under the CT forum. Feel free to gripe about Windows on one of the related fora. Let me tell you, when I worked there the griping about that crapfest was WAY worse than you see in RL. But, all software is just bugs at a certain point in their maturity.

    The Africa protest is something really serious as poor countries were used to test medicamentations . Still for the thread where is the link to conspiracy and gates as he is mainly engaged in very effective and old vaccination like Polio that cost peanuts compared to a high tech medicament that uses stem cell technology.

    There's so much wrong with this post I don't know where to start.

    Gates supports getting vaccines to the poorest, because they don't always have access to them (whereas in wealthier countries do)
    Vaccines have some good and some bad like most subjects.

    No, just no. Vaccines work. There are very isolated cases with individuals and some vaccines, these are exceptions, not systematic
    There is currently a protest in Africa that they don't want to be test subjects for Bill's Covid 19 vaccine. Not in main stream media but happening

    They aren't the "test subjects". People like Gates want early vaccines to go to the poorest because typically they would be the last to receive them (in the global rush)

    On the contrary nice guys dont use child labour to make their products

    Or sit on the boards of companys that discriminate against minorities

    This from the previous article
    A slew of more qualitative problems is detailed as well: employees complaining about institutional misleading of Spanish-speaking borrowers with non-translated documents; a company culture laden with racist comments and insults; and plenty more. All together the Times and Buzzfeed News talked to more than 280 experts, former employees, and customers.

    We havent even got into his dealings with the Bonnie and Clyde of charity fraud the Clintons
    Ranbaxy (fined 500 million for distrubiting adulterated drugs to poor black people) Gilead sciences.Dr Fauchi ,Dr Brix etc

    The swamp has its own corner for drug dealers it seems

    Not really. Just illustrating that there's a bit of a double standard going on.

    The things that you cats are accusing Bill Gates of also apply to some one Enno99 claimed was a completely innocent guy "who just did some bad deals".

    Trump also had dealings with Epstein.
    Trump is also a fan of child labour.
    Trump is a massive racist and specifically was on the board of a company that engaged in discrimination.

    Yet, these things will no doubt be ignored, because conspiracy theorists have no interest in Trump. For some reason.

    Bill Gates however is the subject of strange, ill defined and vague accusations based on very little.
    Your bizarre religious based conspiracy theory being a perfect example.

    The primary concerns of Gates & Co, are related primarily to vaccines, digitial identity programs, invasiave body embodiments, digital cryptocurrency, sinister product patents and associations with others, of obsene wealth and influence all with similar interests.

    Anything else is secondary, temporary, and generally thus a diversion.

    Gates has stepped away from MS and the claim itself is a lawsuit against Apple, Google, MS, Dell and Tesla who are indirectly accused of using child labour (via a Cobalt mine in Congo)

    It demonstrates you are dredging the internet for anything to attack Gates with for whatever reasons

    *Obvious whataboutery Trump-hater diversion alert*.
    But it's not whataboutery. I'm just highlighting the double standard being applied.

    And not really sure what about posting those links makes me a "Trumphater".

    And also not sure why you think the "something-alert" thing is funny or witty.
    The primary concerns of Gates & Co, are related primarily to vaccines, digitial identity programs, invasiave body embodiments, digital cryptocurrency, sinister product patents and associations with others, of obsene wealth and influence all with similar interests.
    All of which you guys are misrepresenting on the flimsiest of premises.
    All of which you can't actually detail beyond your vague accusations and insinuations.

    And in your case, all of which are based on bizarre fringe religious beliefs that render your claims dismissible on the face of them.

    These are your personal concerns and those of complete fruitcakes on the internet: people who literally believe he created Coronavirus or that he wants to use vaccines to implant microchips and other whacky conspiracies

    I remember when there used to be actual conspiracies on this forum, now it's just these bizarre and vague muck-flinging exercises
