I don't clear Gates for falling in with Epstein, but this dude is clearly the fall guy for the tech sector. From old media to social media.
It wasn't Gates at the front of the inauguration: Meta, Amazon, Google, Twitter. DJT kept all his Epstein stooges close, that's a consistent. These folx also are all mysteriously missing from the Epstein files.
Gates is just the easiest target because Microsoft is the enemy of where The Big 4 want the tech sector to go.
This scenario isn't really useful as a 'fall guy'. He's just one of many, his culpability does nothing to detract from anyone else's culpability. In fact, his admissions reinforce the substance of the Epstein files and strengthen any allegations that stem from them about others.
Or maybe it's because Gates is not a CEO anymore?
You are probably right, all of the guys that weren't redacted were done so at the direction of the president, we only found out about the ones that didn't make a deal with him, be it to do him favors like sending money into his secret accounts, his favorite type of favor to receive I suspect; and or not telling people the things they themselves know, or the evidence they have, that can implicate the president and his pals.
That said, fuck them all. Let's nail these fuckers to the wall, then work and razing and burning the rest. This scandal is the key, it's not going away.
It stands to reason that every single bribe he got was to censor their name on the lists. They knew a year in advance the papers were going to be released, so had plenty of time.
It makes me suspicious of everyone, like the people of FIFA who gave him a nobel price. Was that also just some show to get their names censored?
Yes, but it's also worth considering that some people might have their own evidence that could implicate the president and his pals, and those people would have their own blackmail, which is kind of why the president hasn't criticized anyone on the epstein lists, he's expressed sympathy for them, even as it's his nemesis bill clinton, wearing a dress.
If he could get away with it, he would be trashing them, money or no, he's clearly afraid of what information others have, that if one of them gets nailed on these allegations they could start to release what information they have compiled creating a circular firing squad.
So if we could find and steal the information from one of these guys, then make it look like that person leaked it to hurt the others on the list, we could maybe start a chain reaction of them ratting on each other, to hopefully reach the king of the rats here.
The FIFA was/is fighting a legal battle for corruption in the USA
What do you mean by
Microsoft wants you to own a computer and pay for their office app on subscription. The others want you to just let go of hardware and be a part of their AI ecosystems.
Microsoft does not care about you, your computer or your licence. Microsoft cares about having a monopoly in business applications. By being the only player in this field, they ensure that they remain the (almost) only OS on personal computer. If your work uses Microsoft, your school will teach you Microsoft and you will more than likely buy a laptop to run Microsoft product. And they will collect everything.
Microsoft are also toying with renting people cloud desktops they will never own. They've already got cloud gaming, and they're as much in on AI as anyone.
They could practically rename themselves Azure at this point, with Office as a product line. Since they have decided to stop naming themselves Copilot at every level I guess. Everything is cloud now with them. Hell I have an Azure VM myself hosting a ton of sites, most cost effective than on-prem for me. Sigh.
