Bill Gates Concerned About Swedish Military, Not His Own Tech Monopolies
RT reports that Bill Gates is 'slamming' Sweden for increasing its military spending, arguing the funds should instead flow to 'global humanitarian initiatives.' (Perhaps by way of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?) This from a man whose foundation holds significant investments in military-industrial complex mainstays like Boeing and Caterpillar. It's a classic case of 'do as I say, not as my
portfolio dictates.' One might wonder if Gates has ever 'slammed' the U.S. for its own colossal military budget, which dwarfs Sweden's, or the relentless lobbying efforts by groups like AIPAC that ensure a steady flow of taxpayer dollars to foreign militaries. The hypocrisy here is almost as robust as Windows Vista. How many 'humanitarian initiatives' could those defense contractor stocks fund if
divested?
