Nope Shark.....I’m saying Zuckerberg and Gates are elitist stiffs. I haven’t met them, but I know people who have and I have met many of their ilk. You wouldn’t like them.

google search says ekse,

What makes it more mind-boggling is that Gates says he's working to give away nearly all of it. Bill and Melinda Gates have given away more than $45 billion through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which primarily works to combat global poverty. Their work has saved millions of lives.

Bullshit baffles brains. 

Bill Gates is working to give nearly all of it away. He has already given $45bn away. 

He still has $100bn+ left.

That’s some nice going I suppose. He’d better hurry up. 

What you have missed, ou Blobbie, is that he hasn’t given his own money away. His foundation, that he has started, has given it away. You have to find out how much of the $45bn is actually his own money and how much of it is doner money. 

They are clever, these celeb philanthropists,  with their foundations. They get the ball rolling and then they sit back, get others to start donating and then make the sheeple believe that it is their (the celebs’) own money that they are giving away.

Trump Pays $2 Million to 8 Charities for Misuse of Foundation

Under a settlement, the president admitted he had used his charity to bolster his campaign and settle business debts.

  • President Trump has paid $2 million to eight charities as part of a settlement in which the president admitted he misused funds raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his presidential bid and pay off business debts, the New York State attorney general said on Tuesday.

    The foundation’s giving patterns and management came under scrutiny during Mr. Trump’s run for office, and last year the New York attorney general filed a lawsuit accusing the president and his family of using the foundation as an extension of their businesses and the campaign.

    The payments were part of a settlement announced last month that capped a drawn-out legal battle. In the end, the president admitted in court documents that he had used the foundation to settle legal obligations of his businesses and even to purchase a portrait of himself.

    Yeah. You’re right. 
    Trump’s shenanigans with his charity completely negates the smoke and mirrors BS about Gates’ “generosity”.
    You are part of the conformist sheeple ou Blobbie.

    Hmmmm . . . so self-made billionnaire software genius who added enormous value to the world by creating something that changed the face of computing and is still being used today . . . and who gives billions of dollars to charity to try and alleviate poverty . . . he's BAD while . . .

    Spoiled, pampered and stupid daddy's boy inherits millions from his daddy, goes bankrupt 4 times while adding zero value to the world with his shady tax-dodging real-estate deals; w ho uses fake charity organizations to swindle people out of their money and who doesn't give a red cent to anyone other than the people he owes so much money to (or his equally ghastly family members) . . . he's GOOD.

    Okay . . .

    You didn’t get the point but it’s OK. I understand that it’s a bit too complicated for you. Now get your your full diaper changed and put your pacifier back in and go take a nap.

    @Plum  

    I only watched the first clip on Wynand du Toit for the first time last night. 


    I posted something shortly after you posted the the clips without watching them, but when I submitted it I discovered that it didn’t post and I couldn’t be bothered to redo it. You mentioned having similar experiences a few days ago. It was also not the first time it happened to me. When I remember, I now do a lengthy post on a note and then copy and paste it onto the board. 


    I had the honour of meeting Wynand in person after his release. That was in early 1988. His shared his experiences with us, but it was more about being captured, his injuries and how he coped while in the POW camp. He was still in active duty at the time and (1.) didn’t know, at that stage, the facts that he discovered later and (2.) could not talk about the failures/mistakes in both the planning execution of the operation, let alone the underlying and hidden motivations behind the operation. 


    What he disclosed in the clip underline what I have been trying to get into the head of a certain surfer dude. That the whole regime change was indeed something that had been coming over a long period of time. That it was going along at the best pace until PW Botha was forced out and the whole thing artificially expedited by FW and pals. As Wynand said, PW didn’t know about the operation and he was seriously pissed off when he only heard about it after the operation went south. 


    Remember that Wynand was not the first or the only one to be captured. 


    There were the six or seven tiffies. The senior one being Hannes Tereblanche. I knew him well. We worked together at Army HQ for a few years. Then there was Van Der Mesht as well. All prior to Wynand. But his was by far the most significant one in the context of the whole military effort in Angola. 


    As I said, I had quite a bit of knowledge about Du Toit’s  capture and his time in prison and how he coped but I had no idea about the underlying smoke and mirrors stuff. I could very well believe it though, and I do, based on other knowledge and stuff that I, myself had been involved in. 


    The stuff that I had in my earlier post, as I said, that didn’t submit mainly covered his prison time. Maybe it would be best to leave it at that because it also covers his religious beliefs and it may just open a whole new can of worms and I’m not interested in more immature back and forth. 


    Thanks for posting the clips. It was quite an eye opener for me and it confirmed a few thing.
