When Bill Gates announced his “pivot” from climate catastrophe to humanitarian hope, the press dutifully nodded along. A messiah-complex monopolist shedding his alarmist mantle for a brighter, kinder cause. Take a closer look, though, and you’ll see the same stage, the same spotlight, the same script — just new marketing.
For decades, Gates has backed policies that punished farmers, penalized energy independence, and empowered unelected technocrats who operate far beyond democratic reach.
For decades, Gates has backed policies that punished farmers, penalized energy independence, and empowered unelected technocrats who operate far beyond democratic reach. He invested in synthetic meat and lab-grown crops while millions of real farmers faced ruin under the weight of green regulation. He funded climate models that forecasted apocalypse, and initiatives that made energy scarce and food expensive — all under the banner of “saving the planet.” (RELATED: Saving the Planet by Eating Fruit and Whole Grains Is Possible — If You’re Dumb Enough)
Now that public trust in climate crusades is crumbling, he’s rewriting his role. The new storyline: humanity first.

Yes, I use Micrsooft...so sue me.
Pedo creep Bill Gates is off trying to defuse the recent news of his funding the CCP.
Gates was apparently more scared of the left than one of them. We should be grateful that he, unlike his hard leftist former wife, is at least headed in the right direction. Hope Trump is making him offers to go even further — ones that he can’t refuse.
He is the largest farmland owner in the country...275,000 acres...and it is farmed. Remember, this is the idiot who invented vegi-burgers.
I still use some [legacy] M$ s/w, but mostly drive [socialist] Linux boxen.
It’s been a long, strange trip.
if he really wanted to help the poor he would start supporting the spread of Capitalism which has lifted more people out of poverty than every social program in history by a factor of 1000
No, that’s probably not it. Some say it’s because of AI and the need to generate electricital power.
