Redacted Tonight - The Dirty Truth About Bill Gates


Lee Camp exposes Bill Gates and the hidden side of his capitalist projects. The corporate media spend hours honoring his benevolent philanthropy but rich men never give anything away without a string attached and Gates' empire has strings connected to dark activities around the world. After listening to Lee you'll understand why it's safe to assume that none of Gates' charity is intended to help people. His pharmaceutical interests push unsafe drugs on the global south that drive profits back into Gates' pockets. His agricultural interests build monopolies that harm local farmers. And the list goes on. 

Also in this episode:

Lee Camp gives context to the recent release of the Chief Financial Officer of the Chinese technology company Huawei.

Naomi Karavani goes over the lessons from a new book about the US's drone wars. "Humane" by Samuel Moyn is a deep dive into the drone bombing campaign made famous under President Barack Obama and it should make you furious. Karavani, fortunately, makes it funny.

Anders Lee finishes off the show on a recent legal victory for student athletes in the NCAA. Popular student athletes create massive profits for colleges that are protected from properly compensating them. But support for the rights of student athletes have become more popular in recent years. They are still in an uphill battle but early steps have been taken.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
