Good intentions being the road to hell writ large.

Although I am pretty sure Bill Gates has never had so much as a pleasant thought, nevermind a good intention.

We should be friends — If you’re a guy, then let’s have a beer together

If you’re a lady, let’s get a room!

"Fortune" worked hard to build him up. They knew full well what they were getting.

Suzman said its mission is to help “ensure that every person has the chance to lead a healthy, productive life.” Yeah...as long as the people like Suzman gets to decide what each person’s worth is in productivity and who gets to live according to their health?

Remove God and this is what you get. Money and power with no restraint makes one a tool of satan.

Bill Gates is a narcissistic Asperger’s personality, whose only real interests are gaining more power and recognition and satisfying his needs. His interest in education started when Bill Ayers (former Weather Underground member) convinced Gates to invest in his Small School initiative. If you have followed the Democrat plans to groom US school children to be mind numbed citizens of the New World government. You see where Bill Gates fits in.

“ He said the Seattle-based foundation takes its direction from the Sustainable Development Goals, set by the United Nations and its member countries in 2015, and knows that with its great resources come great responsibility.”

Very disingenuous.

And note how they use a comic book bromide.

"Authority is vested in those to whom it applies."

If we ignore or fight Gate's efforts, he has no power.

Geeks tend to get ostracized, made fun of, bullied, beat up, and scorned for their entire childhood. Sometimes that builds strength of character. But sometimes, it just builds resentment and desire for revenge.

Any friend of the late child rapist Epstein should NOT have contact or control over children. And yeah, that includes Bill Gates/.

His parents loved Margaret Sanger. They were eugenicists. His father ran planned parenthood for a while.

Anti-Trumper, anti-nationalist Mark Suzman, formerly employed by the UN, has managed to have no individual page on Wikipedia. Readers only get to know what the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation wants you to know. Here is a bio from infuencewatch.org: Mark Suzman

“And with an endowment of more than $70 billion, its spending power is likely to continue for many decades.”

WOW! With that money they can fix climate change or rearm Ukraine.
