Gates Foundation money: Cause and effect?

"The Gates Foundation has poured $218 million into polio and measles immunization and research worldwide, including in the Niger Delta. At the same time that the foundation is funding inoculations to protect health, The Times found, it has invested $423 million in Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Total of France — the companies responsible for most of the flares blanketing the delta with pollution, beyond anything permitted in the United States or Europe.

Indeed, local leaders blame oil development for fostering some of the very afflictions that the foundation combats."

If the report of the investigation undertaken by the LA Times is correct, then it would appear that the huge sums of money being poured into Africa by the [Bill] Gates Foundation to eradicate a range of diseases might almost equate to "guilt" money - the Foundation having been more than instrumental in causing the diseases in the first place. Very troubling!

Why am I not surprised?


gates represents WHITEY.

Rich Whitey.

Rich Whitey sure don want no happy healthy Nigerians feeling good and breeding an educating themselves.
That happen, first thing they do is go over Whitey's place and bloody take it off em.

Nigeria so damn hot nobody can move or build factories or even be happy in their damn house.
No wonder they killin each other with bloody machetes.


The other day when it was 36 degrees here, I kept thinking about the poor bastards who live in Darfur and Mogadishu and how it is 36 degrees every day for them.

If the USA really wants tribal war to end, it could simply install air conditioning everywhere in Iran and for less than the damn invasion is costing them.
Those tribes would calm right down and happily sell oil from their cool boardrooms.

All the poor people either side of The Nile, have such a rotten life, dying of measles is probably sweet relief.

whack saddam and he is replaced by a clone, whack 43 and he is replaced by Clone 44.

Gates is just whackO.

If it wasn't for HIM, I would be out in my garden now.

and watch out Mahler Boy - gatesy could have your ISP on an RSS at the CIA so you be DOA. take care.

Robert Fisk's predictions for the Middle East in 2013

There is no gain-saying that Robert Fisk, fiercely independent and feisty to boot, is the veteran journalist and author covering the Middle East. Who doesn't he know or hasn't he met over the years in reporting from Beirut - where he lives?  In his latest op-ed piece for The Independent he lays out his predictions for the Middle East for 2013. Read the piece in full, here - well worthwhile - but an extract... "Never make predictions in the Middle East. My crystal ball broke long ago. But predicting the region has an honourable pedigree. “An Arab movement, newly-risen, is looming in the distance,” a French traveller to the Gulf and Baghdad wrote in 1883, “and a race hitherto downtrodden will presently claim its due place in the destinies of Islam.” A year earlier, a British diplomat in Jeddah confided that “it is within my knowledge... that the idea of freedom does at present agitate some minds even in Mecca...” So let’s say this for 2013: the “Arab Awakening” (the t

The NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) goes on hold.....because of one non-Treaty member (Israel)

Isn't there something radically wrong here?    Israel, a non-signatory to the NPT has, evidently, been the cause for those countries that are Treaty members, notably Canada, the US and the UK, after 4 weeks of negotiation, effectively blocking off any meaningful progress in ensuring the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.    IPS reports ..... "After nearly four weeks of negotiations, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference ended in a predictable outcome: a text overwhelmingly reflecting the views and interests of the nuclear-armed states and some of their nuclear-dependent allies. “The process to develop the draft Review Conference outcome document was anti-democratic and nontransparent,” Ray Acheson, director, Reaching Critical Will, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), told IPS. “This Review Conference has demonstrated beyond any doubt that continuing to rely on the nuclear-armed states or their nuclear-dependent allies for l

#1 Prize for a bizarre story.....and lying!

No comment called for in this piece from CommonDreams: Another young black man: The strange sad case of 21-year-old Chavis Carter. Police in Jonesboro, Arkansas  stopped  him and two friends, found some marijuana, searched put Carter, then put him handcuffed  behind his back  into their patrol car, where they say he  shot himself  in the head with a gun they failed to find. The FBI is investigating. Police Chief Michael Yates, who stands behind his officers' story,  says in an interview  that the death is "definitely bizarre and defies logic at first glance." You think?
