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.

The Pentagon's eye-popping spending....and waste!

Only a gigantic bureaucracy could get away with spending of such dimensions - and the amazing waste involved in part of that ginormous spend.   Think US Pentagon..... "From spending $150 million on private villas for a handful of personnel in Afghanistan to blowing $2.7 billion on an air surveillance balloon that doesn’t work, the latest revelations of waste at the Pentagon are just the most recent howlers in a long line of similar stories stretching back at least five decades.  Other hot-off-the-presses examples would include the Army’s purchase of helicopter gears worth $500 each for $8,000 each and the accumulation of billions of dollars' worth of weapons components that will never be used. And then there’s the one that would have to be everyone’s favorite Pentagon waste story: the spending of $50,000 to investigate the bomb-detecting capabilities of African elephants. (And here’s a shock: they didn’t turn out to be that great!) The elephant research, of course, represe...

Video: Israel demolishing a Bedouin village

From Mondoweiss - Israel's supposed "most moral army in the world", the IDF, engaged in immoral, and according to international law, illegal action.... "Israeli forces have demolished every home in the Bedouin village of Khirbet Taha in the northern West Bank district of Nablus during three separate demolitions since the start of the year. Unlike most Bedouin villages, the residents in Khirbet Taha own their own land. However that land falls in Area C, territory in the occupied West Bank under full Israeli control. The village’s only school was also destroyed, leaving children to study in a dilapidated 100-year-old mosque — the only structure left standing in the village. According the United Nations, Israel has demolished half as many Palestinian buildings in the first few months of 2016, as they had in all of 2015. In February alone, the UN found that more Palestinians homes were destroyed than any other month since 2009, when the organization began its docum...

What does a no-fly zone actually mean?

As some countries consider imposing a no-fly zone in relation to Libya, the pertinent question must be what does that mean and entail? FP provides the answers: "It depends on the circumstances. There are two primary types of no-fly zones imposed by air forces. The first is imposed by one military over another, while the two sides are at war. In practice, this type of no-fly zone amounts to a warning from one side that it will engage the other's aircraft if they are spotted in a given territory. The second type, more applicable to the situation in Libya, is when an outside power possessing overwhelming air superiority restricts flights over a given country in order to discourage an internal conflict or humanitarian crisis. This is a relatively recent tactic, which was used most famously in Bosnia and Iraq during the 1990s. No-fly zones are often a compromise in situations where the international community is demanding a response to ongoing violence, but full military interven...
