  1. “Billionaire Bill Gates announced that he has resigned from Microsoft’s board to spend more time on *GLOBALIST WIZZARD NWO EUGENICS(PSEUDO) philanthropic activities..”

    *There. Fixed it for you.

  2. Apparently a whole horde of CEO s are suddenly all stepping down to pursue ” other interests” including even Prince Harry Its akk about freedom from legal restriction s.They’re freedom to network and pursue ” other interests ” All of which coincidentally stand to increase their power and wealth .

  3. So he can spend more time sticking needles in people. Philanthropic activities, my arse. Education is in the toilet and has produced a generation of imbeciles, global warming doesn’t exist and the last person we want involved in global health is a generational eugenicist.
