Bill Gates is primarily known as the multi-billionaire who Microsoft, the company behind the most popular computer operating system known as Windows. With this massive wealth, he has retired from leading Microsoft and now instead focuses his money and time on furthering genetically modified technology, geoengineering, experimental vaccinations, and preaching about how Monsanto is the answer to world hunger.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Gates owns 500,000 shares worth 23 million US dollars (or more) of Monsanto stock. The very same company that has been caught running slave rings in Argentina in which workers were forced to work 14+ hours a day while withholding payment, has used their massive finances to fund organizations that literally fake FDA quotes to support GMOs, and of course peddling through GMOs that have been linked to numerous health concerns.

This is not even taking into account the farmer suicides that occur around every 30 minutes due to Monsanto’s failing GMO crop yield bankrupting small-time farmers in India’s notorious ‘suicide belt‘.

Bill Gates Funding Corporations Caught in Child Slave Rings

And if that’s not enough, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has even teamed up with Cargill to pump GMO soy into the third world. Cargill, of course, is the the 133 billion dollar corporation that also has been found in direct violation of human rights laws. Cargill was sued by the International Labor Rights Fund for trafficking children from Mali and forcing them to work on cocoa bean plantations for around 12 to 14 hours each day without pay, food, or sleep. The company even continues to purchase cotton from Uzbekistan, where it is well known that child slave labor is used in the cultivation.

1. Meanwhile, the Gates Foundation is pouring millions and millions into GMO "philanthropy"

...to feed the poor, starving proles of the planet...while making sure Monsanto (R) rakes in Billions for Billy (R).

How Republican is that?

4. Don't buy his products. Simple

By the way, your little picture is as Republican as it gets -- anti technology, fear mongering, no understanding of science.

[Berlum]

7. And your observation is crusty crystallized Scientific Materialism

..with a whopping dollop of FAIL to get it.l

8. It's always funny to hear a poster preaching about "Scientific Materialism"...

while using a computer, tablet or smartphone to post on the Internet.

13. And its is funnier yet to hear a poster make a lame attempt to defend Scientific Materialism

and thereby divert attention from the Reality of Monsanto-Gates Materialistic Monopoly of food and seed. It just reeks of the kind of Republican "Family Values" that have caused so much oBliVious PLANETary miSery.

Nothing to smirk or snigger about in the matter of the pervasive corporate crassness you are vainly attempting to defend.

[SidDithers]

14. More woo-speak...

you should throw the words quantum, and paradigm in there once in a while to add credibility. Oh, and crystals. Surely crystals can somehow reveal the Truth™ as only the spiritually enlightened know it.

16. Your ad hominem attacks make plain the paucity and core corruption of your Monsanto (R) defense

[Buzz Clik]

11. Speaking of fail... what the hell were you trying to say?

You said nothing. Was that your intent?

[SidDithers]

9. The picture comes from a Ron and Rand Paul loving libertarian blog site...

12. Hm. Speaking of Luddites....

I would chose better.

Of course, I would also research a bit more before going off, but that's just me.

[SidDithers]

15. 'Course, I also found the same graphic posted at infowars...

not surprised that Alex Jones somehow figures into this.

2. He should have said, "None of your business. Next question."

So it is scandalous that he supports a company he owns stock in? What a hypoc.... no that isn't right now is it. What do we call people who put their money where their mouth is?

[Buzz Clik]

3. Ummm... just a moment.

We all despise Monsanto's business practices and overly aggressive protection of their patents. But, this quote:

This is not even taking into account the farmer suicides that occur around every 30 minutes due to Monsanto’s failing GMO crop yield bankrupting small-time farmers in India’s notorious ‘suicide belt‘.

I call bullshit at about three levels.

I would really like to see documentation that:

1. All GMO crops are failing
2. GMOs are bankrupting small-time farmers
3. That #s 1 and 2 are causing 1 farmer suicide every thirty minutes.

5. I don't like Gates or the Gates Foundation but

He pays brokers alot of money to invest money so it makes money. If you want him to divest, then give him emperical evidence which seems to missing from the GMO arguments.

[Buzz Clik]

10. Yep.

[iemitsu]

6. Gates also spends his money on social-engineering

trying to restructure society through his take-over of the public schools. Soon he will educate us, feed us, and own all the images we get to view. A Bill Gates world.
