He's so committed to ip laws that he's responsible for possibly millions of deaths. As far as Epstein it seems like he's had some time to craft a better response, but when he was asked about it on camera he started fidgeting like a kid with their hand in the cookie jar and responded to something along the lines of "Do you have any words of wisdom to share about associating with people like Epstein?" "Well, he's dead so there's that."
Are Bill Gates’s Billions Distorting Public Health Data?
The Gates Foundation also funds IHME, a public health research institute of the University of Washington that had been integral towards prematurely ending the sociological aspect of the pandemic by providing the Biden admin with incredibly optimistic, and ultimately inaccurate, projections. Basically, they provided the data that was used to manufacture consent for ending the public's precautions.
I'm pretty sure I said this in a thread here when the video was posted a couple years back, but I actually think that even if someone is completely innocent, it's pretty normal to feel anxious and uncomfortable and act weird when being asked about a controversy they know their name is tied into. I wouldn't judge him as guilty based on that. I'd judge him as guilty because scheduling meetings with Jeffrey Epstein is simply not some unfortunate accident that a blameless soul might haphazardly stumble into.
I get irritated because billionaires get all this credit for making society function, then their failures reduce them back to being mere mortals. It's similar to how Kamala Harris is "the best person for the job!" but then it's "her staff wasn't giving her good advice or were going behind her back."
Part of being a leader means you know how to deal with shitheads under your supervision, how to delegate, how to vet people, and how to avoid doing stupid shit like being seen with a guy who has photos of himself surrounded by young girls, drugs, and alcohol. The fact Gates didn't avoid Epstein in the first place just goes to show billionaires don't deserve shit and they only got there through corruption.
Microsoft was also looking the other way at best and (more likely) directly involved at worst when it comes to all the conflicts in the '90s in areas with cobalt, diamonds, copper, etc. Somalian Civil War, Rwandan Genocide, Sierra Leone Civil War, First Congo War, etc. were in areas directly part of the supply chain for computers Microsoft relied on for their products.
As late as 2016, Microsoft was found not to be doing their due diligence on sourcing conflict minerals. It's speculated they still don't, but have released several annual reports over supply chains. The main reason they are no longer as involved, however, is because Microsoft was broken up between hardware and software in 2001. So now other companies plunder those areas.
Make no mistake, Gates is involved in more than just covid. He destroyed people's lives with frivolous lawsuits to climb his way to the top while profiting off genocide, slavery, and wars involving child soldiers.
