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.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 3 minutes ago

Or maybe it's because Gates is not a CEO anymore?

[-] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 55 minutes ago

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.

What do you mean by

Microsoft is the enemy of where The Big 4 want the tech sector to go

"I never knew the man."

"Okay I knew him but only casually."

"Okay we hung out a bit."

"Okay I spent time on his rape island but didn't partake."

"Okay I had consensual sex with women there."


You are here.

"Okay they were trafficked sex victims and it was rape."

"Okay they were children."

I once blew $1000 over a weekend as a sp4 turned loose on Deutschland. most weekends were boring $50 in food/drink and vhs flicks. maybe see a movie. drunken debauchery can be expensive. can't happen in the states for reasons. easy to see how a bunch of repressed/warped by religion, suit-tie culture, American men can be sucked into compromising situations with mostly sex as the lure. whatever you want, a plane ride away with no accountability. oh the cameras? yeah they're everywhere. surprise! it's like someone watched candid camera and hatched a plan. 'affair', guess that's the suit-tie acceptable phrase

I am honestly tired of seeing the faces of assholes

book tour in 3,2,1 epstein unleashed

[-] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 26 points 3 hours ago

Both “affairs” and “women” doing some heavy lifting here.

[-] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

One of the few Russian works I know is "kompromat".

[-] OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Normally i would try and be objective but i dont care anymore with these guys

[-] jve@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

Bill really nearly whitewashed away all the horrible business practices and cutthroat shit he did in the 80s and 90s with the Gates Foundation.

But man, he looks like he aged a shitload in the short while since all the Epstein stuff really came to light.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 46 minutes ago

He is still doing shitty stuff. He bailed out Monsanto with a big investment, and is a big proponent of their herbicides and proprietary round up ready seeds, and owns, what is it 5 or approaching 10% of farmland in the US to use it on.

He's big into geo engineering, trying to get governments to agree to let them spray masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to blot out the sun, totally not a Mr. Burns move. As if he knows the unintended consequences that could result, or as if other countries that would be affected agreed to it, to say nothing of the wildlife, (ie test projects have already shown in the westerh hemisphere it will make africa drier.)

What else, he intervened in covid vaccines to prevent a not for profit open source vaccine. The very idea horrified him somehow. He seems like he's trying to do good sometimes and does evil. He has a case of billionairism where everyone around him agrees with everything he says and he thinks the laser light of knowledge shines out of his ass.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, never trust billionaires who are all talk about being charitable and yet their net worth hadn't even gone down significantly. They're still billionaires.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I dint believe him one second, most because he was obviously using it to do money laundering, he went on AMA subreddit quite a few times too pre-2020, plus his vaccine push in africa was met with criticism too.i always felt he was quite a slimy person. and it was well known rich people like to do 'philantrophy" in AFRICA to cleanse themselves of guilt, or hate done to POCs.

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

All this is making Torvalds and FOSS look better.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 41 points 5 hours ago

For anyone that still needs to hear this: there are no good billionaires! ABAB. This dude right here was the poster child for "good billionaires'. I don't know whether only evil fuckers can become billionaires (probably), but I do know that having access to functionally unlimited wealth and power will inevitably warp your soul.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 hour ago

gates was and is one of the most ruthless billionaires, thats why his sudden pivoting to "helping africa" was all but disengenious, but now it made sense since the epstein files came out.

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 hours ago

Any good billionaire could donate down to being a hundred-millionaire and live a life of obscene comfort for generations. Why wouldn't you, if you weren't trash?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago

a billionaire would never give enough away money to make themselves poor, they are too use to that lifestyle. like a millionaire dont want to be 10 or 100 thousandaire.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago

This dude right here was the poster child for "good billionaire"

Really? I mean he tried really hard to whitewash his image with his charity and malaria research, but he was always a piece of absolute shit and the ‘good billionaire’ label was always a scam: DOS deal games, monopoly behavior, billionaire policy capture through his foundation, education meddling, vaccine-IP politics, nothing he did was truly charity, everything was self serving.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 hours ago

I fully agree with you. I been team "fuck Bill Gates" forever. I just mean that there's a whole lot of people that were jock-riding him.

[-] LumberjackRanger@leminal.space 4 points 5 hours ago

Yeah the money thing can make good people terrible

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 hours ago

Imagine winning the game. But you have decades of your life left. By definition, you have access to the most exclusive of everything. Nobody ever tells you "no". I'm not surprised these fucks decide that even the the most universal social taboos shouldn't confine them.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 39 points 6 hours ago

The phrase "underage women" is the biggest lie mainstream media has pushed as part of all of this. These scumbags didn't have sex with "underage women". The raped children.

[-] answersplease77@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

i cannot give this sleezbag tax-evading wealth-hoarding genocidal pedo any benifit of doubt because he's a billionare and there are no good billionares.
the first thing a good billionare would do is not become one, and look around the world where their resources could alleviate so much suffering.

[-] doomslang@lemmy.zip 32 points 7 hours ago

He's trying to satisfy people by admitting to a smaller thing rather than the worse things he did. Classic PR.

[-] null@lemmy.org 12 points 6 hours ago

Soon enough the two Russian women will in fact be two Russian girls.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Slightly better than Spacey suddenly deciding to come out as a proud gay man, but not by much

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

or saying his job was tied to COVID.

[-] eestileib 17 points 6 hours ago

The shit about trying to secretly dose his wife without telling her, what the fuck dude.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

without a doctors direction, whatever antibiotics would be ineffective if you arnt dosed properly. and also MEDICATION have added bitterent so you would be able to taste it.

There was an SVU/LAW AN Order episode about similar situation, the guy was "tracking the wife" whom he injected her with some kind of rfid chip without her noticeing while she slept and she got an infeciton from that, and he tried to secretly treat her with antibiotics without her noticing, turns out it dint work, because (you need to be properly told how long and how much to take).

I could just fuck a petri dish and still enjoy a similar bacterial adventure.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 hours ago

don't. he'll drug ya

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 13 points 7 hours ago

Announcing "affairs" seems carefully chosen. "Affair" implies an ongoing extramarital relationship. Sampling each of Epstein's new child sex slaves would be pedophilia and cheating, but not affairs. He wants to imply his only extramarital sex was with consenting adults.

[-] Lemmynated@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Bill Gates fucked kids

[-] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Did he try to dose them with anti STD pills?

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

I’m conflicted in these situations.

Obviously apologizing is better than nothing but at the same time, it’s an empty gesture at this point given how there is no consequence.

The only benefit is that it’s another domino that hopefully leads to actual justice.
