Gates Foundation Investments Often Don't Jibe With Philanthropic Priorities
,----[ Quote ]
| In the first article, the newspaper notes that the Gates Foundation has
| invested in companies like Chevron Corporation, Eni, Exxon Mobil Corporation,
| Royal Dutch Shell, and Total—all responsible for gas flares that pollute the
| Niger Delta, shooting out chemicals and soot that may be causing the region’s
| alarmingly high rates of respiratory diseases, cancer, and blurred vision and
| also lowering immunity—while the foundation is making grants to fight disease
| in Africa.
|
| In the second article, the newspaper notes that Gates is heavily invested in
| companies that have ties to tobacco, alcohol, and gambling.

| ...the Gates Foundation took down their public statement on this
| and replaced it with a significantly altered version which seems to

| are outside the foundation's areas of expertise. The issues
| involved are quite complex...

| MediaNews did buy the Mercury News with a loan from Bill Gates' foundation,
| and is in the process of paying back that loan by publishing information
| without much journalistic or technical integrity.

| located in Apple's backyard, would tend to trumpet the company's success. One
| would be wrong... Apple's corporate proximity to San Jose is trumped by the
| Mercury News’ need to publish low cost, highly sensational news to make
| enough money to pay back Bill Gates for the favor of his humanitarian loan.”
