How Gates $$$ Poisons *Everything*.

Reposted from GD this am where it got the usual once-over from the folks who mistakenly think this can't possibly matter.

"But to avoid being labeled a “tool of the foundation,” the document said the group should “maintain a low public profile.”

Overlooked overview of how Gate$ corrupts politics , education, journalism and public discourse itself.

With apologies to Christopher Hitchens, it could be subtitled "How Gates Money Poisons Everything."

What a world.

Edit to add: STAY WITH this one, folks. I wouldn't undertake to read this either but I'm a p.s. teacher and see the human cost of Gates'..... ummmmm...... "philanthropy" everyday of my life. His corruption of EVERYTHING ELSE as a byproduct of of his PS jihad should concern *everybody*. Not just teachers.

Read. Consider.
