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.

Reading the Chilcot Inquiry Report more closely

Most commentary on the Chilcot Inquiry Report of and associated with the Iraq War, has been "lifted" from the Executive Summary.   The Intercept has actually gone and dug into the Report, with these revelations : "THE CHILCOT REPORT, the U.K.’s official inquiry into its participation in the Iraq War, has finally been released after seven years of investigation. Its executive summary certainly makes former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who led the British push for war, look terrible. According to the report, Blair made statements about Iraq’s nonexistent chemical, biological, and nuclear programs based on “what Mr. Blair believed” rather than the intelligence he had been given. The U.K. went to war despite the fact that “diplomatic options had not been exhausted.” Blair was warned by British intelligence that terrorism would “increase in the event of war, reflecting intensified anti-US/anti-Western sentiment in the Muslim world, including among Muslim communities in the

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

An unpalatable truth!

Quinoa has for the last years been the "new" food on the block for foodies. Known for its health properties, foodies the world over have taken to it. Many restaurants have added it to their menu. But, as this piece " Can vegans stomach the unpalatable truth about quinoa? " from The Guardian so clearly details, the cost to Bolivians and Peruvians - from where quinoa hails - has been substantial. "Not long ago, quinoa was just an obscure Peruvian grain you could only buy in wholefood shops. We struggled to pronounce it (it's keen-wa, not qui-no-a), yet it was feted by food lovers as a novel addition to the familiar ranks of couscous and rice. Dieticians clucked over quinoa approvingly because it ticked the low-fat box and fitted in with government healthy eating advice to "base your meals on starchy foods". Adventurous eaters liked its slightly bitter taste and the little white curls that formed around the grains. Vegans embraced quinoa as
