LONDON, March 18 (Reuters) - Developing countries facing potentially pricey legal challenges from big tobacco firms are to get help from a new $4 million fund created by the philanthropists Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg.

Announcing the creation of the anti-tobacco trade litigation fund on Wednesday, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said countries with limited resources should not be bullied into making bad health policy choices.

“See, see Haitians...this is for your own good! Eating dirt cookies and drinking polluted water is fine, but tobacco is a no-no. Mumma says NO!”

I think that I’ll buy some cigars this week as an act of defiance.

“Gates had no problem killing them in the womb”

Gates: “ See? Now they can’t grow up, and smoke! “

Everyone knows the dangers from smoking. That being said, a lib friend of mine returned from Cuba and presented me with $100 worth of Cuban cigars (the limit which now be imported). Wow!!!

Gates big disappointment with his post Microsoft efforts.

Bloomberg: once a fool always a fool. Seems he only made money by spying on his own customers of Bloomberg stock terminals.

I don’t know what Bill’s problem is, but Melinda’s excuse is that she was ‘impressed’ with a mother from somewhere in Africa who supposedly said to Gates “I don’t want to bring another child into this world until I know I can take care of the one I already have.”.

Melinda (and probably Bill) uses this one line to justify, in their own mind, facilitating the murder of millions of children.

Same with Bloomturd who took away the rights of 24 hour store and gas station owners to own guns to defend themselves and of course they got killed when they got robbed. At it’s height when he was Mayor, about once a week I read about another 24 hour store clerk or gas station attendant getting killed. Gotta give the advantage to the crooks! And then his relentless promotion of bicycling which killed about one person a month. Come on everyone! Riding bicycles around speeding trucks and taxis is perfectly safe!” That’s what killed Alan Dershowitzs sister.

Probably the worst accident I heard of by the Bloomberg promoted bicycling death agenda was a 23 year old woman who THAT DAY just graduated from College and was killed riding a bicycle. All that education from elementary school, High school and College and the day she is ready to move out into the world Bloombergs agenda crushes her forever. And this is not even counting the people killed who are hit by bikes. The guy does not give one damn about peoples health, it’s all about playing despot.

God I wish I had an alternative to Windows and Microsoft. Unfortunately I’m stuck due to the nature of the business I’m in.

This is what happens when former hall monitors are allowed to make a lot of money.
