What kind of "charity fund" can't even pay for its own headquarters? That's right, Billysoft screwed Seattle taxpayers out of $50 million in relocating the Gates Foundation's headquarters. (See the three links at the end of this article: http://my.opera.com/Microshaft/forums/topic.dml?id=247365)
The Los Angeles Times revealed the Gates Foundation for what it is: an investment fund. Since then, people have been spilling the beans on one scandal after another.
But what do you expect when the Gates Foundation is run by Bill Gates, Melinda Gates (who sits on the Washington Post's board of directors) and Bill Gates' father - a founding partner of the law/lobby firm of Preston Gates & Ellis, whose former employees include Jack Abramoff?
But getting back to Bill Gates, did you know he was kicked out of Harvard?: http://web.archive.org/web/19990429233108/http://www.boston.com/globe/metro/packages/harvard/partone.htm
A similar stunt got him trouble even earlier, when he attended Seattle's Lakeside School for Boys. (See http://knol.google.com/k/david-blomstrom/bill-gates/1i6e04re3w2kp/4#)
Such stunts make it easier to understand later crimes and scandals, from anti-trust violations to PatentGate and SCOGate to lying about Apple and other competitors.
I stand by my words. - Posted by: David Blomstrom Posted on: 08/26/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
