... musing about a few things while Q takes a day or two off......

Most of you know the story about how Bill Gates was a Harvard student who developed MS-DOS, the operating system that was used on the first IBM PC, which then grew into Windows/Microsoft. And he dropped out of Harvard because he had written this GREAT piece of software and started a company based on that.

Or so the official story goes.

Then fast forward about 30 years and we have Mark Zuckerberg who was a Harvard student who developed a piece of software and then that grew into the social media company that we know as Facebook.

Or so the official story goes.

Does it strike anyone that perhaps the Deep State, having succeeded in using this story one time, decided to tell the same story again.

This makes me wonder how many other college dropouts have been run by the clowns/DS. Do they only use Harvard for this? I would expect them to try it elsewhere. I’d expect some companies that maybe weren’t the giant financial successes that FB & MS were. I’d also expect some “failures”, i.e., companies that were started by Ivy League dropouts, but that never quite made it off the ground. I’m sure that wherever there is a Plan A, there’s probably also a Plan B, C, and maybe more.

What other strategic companies might the clowns have been interested in? Something where it’s better for them to farm out the development to “private” firms?

Actually Gates didn’t come up with MS-DOS. He stole it. It used to be called CP/M if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah, I've never believed the Zuckerberg/Facebook story, and am suspicious of the Gates story as well. Read a few books on the formation of Google, and Page and Brin were students at Stanford, where the CIA runs an internship. Before they went public, Google was using over half of Stanford's computing capacity for the search engine.

Curious about Jobs and Apple. Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft all come out of nowhere, displace the previous businesses, and end up running the internet. Throw in Amazon, also. Try traversing the web without dealing with those five companies. Not possible.

That’s a good point. I have no doubt that such has happened more than once. Here’s a bit of story regarding the development of the computer system:

When IBM came to Microsoft asking for a 16-bit operating system, the company had to scramble to get one together.

Rather than writing a new one from the ground up, it turned to Seattle Computer Products and its existing 86-DOS (aka QDOS), and bought a non-exclusive license for $25,000.

The next Spring, in May 1981, it hired away the program’s author, programmer Tim Paterson. And then, on July 27, it paid another $50,000 for all rights.

A month later, it was shipping on IBM personal computers, and eventually turned Bill Gates and Paul Allen into two of the world’s richest men.

Interesting theory Gen. Why not? These kids are all part of the swamp and if they are not, they are brought in. Remember with me.

The whole Skull and Bones thing at Yale. Apparently the inductees have to lie naked in a coffin and tell all their secrets. There is allegedly some kind of sex ritual also. This bonds them and also has a tendency to make people compliant. Plus if you have no morals or that is how your family rolls, would you even know it was wrong?

I know it is exceptionally hard for Christians/religious Jews, etc, to think in this way. But if you had been raised since birth in a satanic church would you know? It reminds me of the movie Goodfellas, "We only ever associated with each other, birthdays, vacations, holidays. No outsiders ever! (Huge paraphrase there as I am going stream of consciousness.

Also I am thinking POTUS has to be a masterful father and boss! Just stand there with that look on his face and his arms crossed and see who starts chirping!

I literally just finished reading “Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou. I vote for Elizabeth Holmes dropping out of Stanford falling in this category. And reading this after knowing all that Q has dropped is even more support for Q. Theranos even moved into the old Facebook building and spied of everyone.

Then there's the opposite phenomenon. In the '60 and '70s, MIT and GE developed a secure operating system called Multics. Honeywell took it over from GE, and then it disappeared. Multics was military-grade secure. There was only one story of it being hacked (by an insider). I think a built-in printer driver had a bug in it. There's no reason it couldn't have been turned into a consumer operating system.

Then Windows came along, with more holes than it takes to fill the Albert Hall, and the government blessed that. The Feds don't want you to have secrets.
