Bill Gates becomes the bête noire

So far, the pro-science billionaire and American philanthropist has preferred to keep his distance from politics. But the amateurism of the President of the United States in the face of the pandemic has left him no choice.

Bill Gates on NBC, April 23. For two months, the billionaire has been on all television sets, informing America about the latest scientific advances and giving his advice.

The Antichrist was announced by the Bible: "A man who claims to be God, who will try to put the world under the control of a single government, with a single financial system and a single religion." As everyone knows or should know, he appeared on earth and is called ... Bill Gates. Who is speaking like this? Adam Fannin, a Florida pastor whose video on YouTube has already been viewed by 2 million people. Welcome to Billgatesland! A paranoid amusement park where the delusions about the second richest man in the world - behind Jeff Bezos - compete in imagination. Besides the Antichrist, there are also the rantings according to which the founder of Microsoft seeks to develop vaccines to "depopulate" or "sterilize" the world, those seeing in his promotion of antivirals a means of colonizing Africa, or those accusing him of advertising mysterious "digital tattoos" to identify the carriers of the Covid-19 and to pass on the information to the United Nations. Without forgetting the blue surgical mask, which would be the secret signal of an affiliation to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation...

Virus Nostradamus

Is it better to laugh about it? It seems to be Gates' choice. "I even received a sympathy message from George Soros [the American financier and billionaire], so it must get serious," he said. Not false. Everyone now takes it seriously. Not only because he is very wealthy, he who still owns more than 100 million Microsoft shares, valued at $ 16 billion (his total fortune exceeds 100 billion). Nor is it simply because of its foundation, endowed with fifty billion and which has already announced that it injected 250 million in the "war" against the coronavirus. And not even just because of Gates' foreknowledge, which alerted the world as early as 2015 about the threat of a pandemic like two drops of that of Covid-19. Suddenly promoted to "Nostradamus of the virus", we have seen him for two months on all television sets, informing America about the latest scientific advances and giving his advice.

 

No, there is more to his stardom and the staggering hatred he experiences among some: Gates has simply become the perfect anti-Trump. It is a role of circumstance, almost a casting error: Gates has always kept his distance from politics, he gave money (a little) to both parties and frequented the presidents of all sides. Even when he was sued by the Clinton administration in the 1990s for violating antitrust law, he never attacked it politically. He certainly believes that billionaires like him should be more taxed, but often displays opinions - on education or philanthropy, for example - that displease the left of the Democratic Party. And his self-made billionaire journey seduces many Republican voters.

 

Only here, Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have three faults: they believe in science, preach without complex the virtues of multilateralism and are convinced globalists. Three qualities, or faults, that could only put them in the way of the White House tenant. It all started badly, in 2018, when an internal video of the foundation had leaked, in which Bill Gates made his audience laugh by telling a conversation with Donald Trump: "He wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV [virus AIDS] and HPV [human papillomavirus], so I was able to explain to him that we rarely confuse the two. " Trump certainly hasn't forgotten this humiliation. But it was with the coronavirus that the divorce became blatant. Gates is addicted to scientific rigor, he has been immersed for nearly twenty years in the details of infectious diseases. Trump’s amateurism, on hydroxychloroquine and so many other subjects, therefore naturally spiked him.

Second WHO donor

Things got worse with the second topic, multilateralism, when Trump announced that he was cutting food to the World Health Organization (WHO), of which the Gates Foundation is the second largest contributor after the United States. The Microsoft founder then unleashed an indignant tweet: "It's as dangerous as it sounds." Later, to explain that the WHO is wrong but that Trump's reaction is absurd, he will have this analogy: "There is a big fire. The firefighters arrive 20 minutes late. It's like saying : let's fire all the firefighters! " The Gates anger even more Trump when they actively support Europe, in this case Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who has just launched a global fundraiser for research against the virus. Melinda Gates: "It is the European leaders, quite honestly, who understand that we need international cooperation."

Between the pro-science camp - the Gates, allied with people like Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of the United States - and that of the pro-Trump, who denounce the "experts in quotes", the war is no longer hidden.
