Tax Free Corporate Billions Leveraged to Control Social Policy Making
The new Gates Foundation financials are out, and things look much improved in 2009 following the 2008 meltdown. When you click on this chart to enlarge it, you will see that the Gates Foundation now has nearly 30,000 millions of dollars (that's 30 billion) to use as it sees fit to bribe, to silence, to shape, to destroy, to seed, to alter, to maintain, to transform, to extort, to buy quiet, to build out of thin air any social policy that the Foundation wants, and all of it is tax-free. Well, not quite. In 2009, the Foundation paid $60,000 on $30 billion. Damned excise taxes.

Thirty billion dollars, by the way, represents 7 Races to the Top. We can see how just one of them threatens sanity in schooling all across the nation. Can you imagine what a widespread disaster 7 of them would bring.

This, however, is the real and potential power of the numerous corporate foundations that are going all in to transform American schools for the masses into corporate data hubs designed to breed compliance, fear, non-thinking, anti-culture, consumption, selfishness, ahistoricism, and limited technical skill.

The Oligarchs are determined that the road to ecological apocalypse at least will be orderly.
