Bill Gates: A Non-Inventor Who Manipulated a Monopoly – Microsoft

Posted on by Helena

Bill Gates invented – nothing. Nada. Nilch.   His entire career and accolade has been a media mania manipulation of rewritten historical accounts.

While Gates co-founded Microsoft with Paul Allen, everything he has accomplished is credited as a ‘collaboration’ which implies Gates was simply a savvy brutal businessman who was able to ‘take’ the MS-DOS platform that had been originally created by Gary Kildall and launch Microsoft while giving Kildall – nothing.   At the time, intellectual property law had yet to catch up with computer software, and Kildall was told by an attorney he had no legal recourse.  So Gates sailed.

KIldall was not the only body left for dead by Gates and Microsoft.   In 1979, Tim Paterson was working for Seattle Computer Products under the ownership of Rodney Brock who was keen on developing an operating system that would work in conjunction with Microsoft BASIC naming it 86DOS. Microsoft bought a license right to use the system for $75,000.

Allegations were made that Paterson had used coding created by Kildall.   Paterson denied the accusations and found refuge by taking a job at Microsoft.

In 1985, Brock’s company began to fail and he tried to sell his business and the license rights to 86-DOS to Tandy Corporation. Microsoft sued claiming the license was nontransferable, and an out of court settlement gave Brock $925,000 vs the $60million he sought.  In 1986 Microsoft launched its IPO and history was made on the backs of genius’s who were given next to nothing.

Paterson went to work for Microsoft, and in 1986 Microsoft bought Paterson’s company and the non-royalty rights to what had been relabeled – MS-DOS.   Kildall who was the true computer era software engineer went on to develop the first computer encyclopedia, and developed a home PBX system.   His company, Digital Research, was bought by Novell which attempted to compete with Gates but found themselves unable to beat the monopolistic agenda when Gates bundled his software into every PC – Windows NT.  Novell crashed and burned – bought by The Attachmate Group in 2011.  Gates went on to lavish insurmountable wealth and Kildall died under ‘confusing’ and uncertain circumstances in 1994.

In 2004 a book was released which claimed Paterson’s system was a complete ‘unoriginal ripoff’ that was attributed to Gates as his brainchild but in essence was Kildall’s work.   Paterson sued for defamation and the judge determined that the lawsuit was unsubstantiated and that in fact the now dead Kildall was the father of the PC movement and Paterson had effectively cloned over 36 functions taken from Kildall and given them to Microsoft.

Contrary to the media parlay that Gates is a genius, a software developer, and a pharmaceutical intellectual – history shows an otherwise shrewd manipulator who gained access to intellectual property unjustifiably.   Computer engineering experts speculate that our entire PC system today would likely look completely different and be technically much more sophisticated had Kildall been the prevailing father.

Fully aware of the future consequences of intellectual property law given Gates father was an attorney, Gates instituted a Microsoft wide declaration that all property, notes, research, etc… of company personnel belonged exclusively to – Microsoft.  Employees were prohibited from patents or copyrights of any of their work during their employment and for years afterwards.

Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft, became ill with cancer in 1982. Gates, in all his compassion for his boyhood pal, renegotiated their split from 50-50 to 66-34 and tried to buy out his 100 million shares for $5 each.   According to Allen’s memoir, they had a massive falling out when Allen overheard Gates and Steve Ballmer who Gates had brought in to run the company, discussing ways they could dilute Allen’s stake in the company and force him out.   Allen quit.  He went on to develop a number of companies including: Apex Learning in 1997, Allen Institute for Brain Science, Allen Institute for Cell Science, Allen Institute for AI, and others.   Paul Allen died of sepsis in 2018 – he was 65.

It was over a decade before software copyrights were found to be relatively useless and patents became the preferred means for securing rights.   By the mid 1990’s, somewhat coinciding with Kildall’s death, those Patent laws protected a person’s coding and end product from cloning.   Could Kildall have sued Microsoft for theft of his original system that was cloned into MS-DOS?  Could such a lawsuit upend Microsoft and give Kildall billions in damages?

Kildall died at the age of 52. Reports are oddly conflicting. He was at a bar – had been there for 2-20 minutes, unsure, when suddenly he is on the floor, the victim of a brawl seen by -0- witnesses who later gave completely different accounts including some claiming he fell down steps… He went to the hospital and was released. Two days later he was dead and although the police labeled his death a possible homicide, the furtively edited accounts preferred today state he had a heart attack. According to the coroner, John DiCarlo, an autopsy ‘failed to determine the cause of death’.

If Bill Gates were to be credited with inventing anything it would be a global monopoly that brutally squeezed out every viable competitor and rose to the top on the stolen software supplied by Paterson and created by Kildall.   That would seem, on the surface, to be a viable reason for concluding death by homicide.   But of course, if you have the resources, such a conclusion could easily be erased.

Footnote #1:      Bill Gates Sr was an attorney who has served on the boards of the Gates Foundation, United Way, Planned Parenthood, and the World Justice Project whose aim is to further the global Rule of Law.   The Rule of Law purports to rate countries by their ‘open government’ and human rights.   They are supported by Human Rights Watch, a Soros entity.    Much like the Southern Poverty Law Center also organized and funded by Soros, they ‘rate’ countries by their perceived alignment with ruling by the stratagems delineated by the Global Justice Project.   Countries scoring the highest originate first in the Swedish bloc of the EU, followed by Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, UK, Czech, Spain, France, China – and then the US.  NOTE:  the US follows – China.

In other words, Communist China scores higher than 112 countries across the globe.  

Footnote #2:   In 2004 the US tax laws were revised to allow multinational conglomerates a loophole that ultimately resulted in over $3 trillion of revenues taxed at a rate of near -0- % to remain untaxed by the US Federal Tax system.   It was called Base Erosion and Profit Shifting – BERS – and was utilized significantly by Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, Pfizer and Amazon.   Within this schematic, an Irish tax haven was created for, among other things, the deferment of tax on ‘intellectual property’.   It became known as the Double Irish wherein an intangible asset (software Patents) can be charged as an intangible asset tax deductible status as a royalty payment.   Between 2004 and 2014, Apple shielded 111 billion Euro in profits from US tax within this shield alone.

Under President Trump, this was phased out as of 2020 completely. The amount of lost tax revenues is likely estimated in the trillions. How much this will effect Microsoft – we have seen the reaction….

And Yes – Bill Gates is on the War PATH for more than we know!

STATE DEFICITS – $1 Trillion and Counting

Posted on by Helena

Well, the shitake is hitting the fan and all the idiotic Barney Fiefs in positions of power as governors and mayors think that raising every conceivable tax is going to magically produce their necessary revenue after tanking their economies.   Of course, state employee pensions would be first in line… Because unions support liberal candidates.

One such idiotic move was attempted by the mayor of Nashville wherein he thought he could slip thru a 32.6% property tax hike while his entire entourage was still vacationing at home amidst the pandemic epidemic flu virus.

As of 2016, the funding gap between state pension liabilities and assets was determined to be $1.4 trillion. According to Moody’s that gap increased by $1 trillion during the CoVid 19 selloff.   That gap widens every day that state and local revenue flattens.

The average pension across the country is roughly $28,000 compared to New York’s average of $53,000 representing 1.14 million members and current beneficiaries of 482,000.

So who are these Comptrollers in charge of managing state finances? Because they would not appear to be doing a great jon!

Tom DiNapoli has served New York State for 13 years in the capacity of Comptroller having achieved a degree in history and subsequently a masters in human resources.    His entire career has been in politics. He has absolutely no education in finance or economics .

California’s Controller is Betty Yee. Her bio states that – growing up she handled the books of her family’s dry cleaning business.   In college she went on to obtain degrees in Sociology and Public Administration. She has worked in politics her entire life.

What are the duties of state Comptrollers?

  • Conducting performance and financial audits of all City agencies;
  • Serving as a fiduciary to the City’s five public pension funds
  • Providing comprehensive oversight of the City’s budget and fiscal condition;
  • Reviewing City contracts for integrity, accountability and fiscal compliance;
  • Resolving claims both on behalf of and against the City;
  • Ensuring transparency and accountability in setting prevailing wage and vigorously enforcing prevailing wage and living wage laws; and
  • Promoting policies that enhance City government’s commitment to efficiency, integrity and performance for all New Yorkers.

I passed the CPA exam years ago and conducting financial audits, managing billions in assets, preparing budgets, etc… were highly specialized tasks reserved for the most competent in education and experience.   Degrees in history and sociology would hardly track that level of competence.

But that is who is managing state budgets.

New York is quickly approaching a deficit of $60 billion and California is climbing the ladder at $43 billion. I’d say the state governments had ridiculously ‘failed’ in their duties and responsibilities to manage.

And now they want President Trump to just give them all the money they lost – which is effectively money from you and I. Cryin’ the blues…

As of 2019, New York State was already in trouble facing a deficit of $6.1 billion as a result of rising Medicaid costs. Roughly one third of NY residents are on Medicaid representing a cost of $70 billion annually.

While Cuomo has recently stated that nursing homes represented the crisis in NY for CoVid 19, it was the state government that ‘ordered’ nursing homes to take in CoVid residents.   73% of all deaths in New York state claimed to be caused by CoVid 19 were residents of NYC. Twenty six other counties within New York report death rates of 5 and under, yet the lockdown applies to every county.   A number of counties have -0- deaths, but must adhere to the same lockdown restrictions as NYC.   The absurdity seems lost on Health commissioners, Comptrollers, Governors and Mayors who are irate that their deficit is not being wiped clean by President Trump and OUR Dollars!

A damning video of Cuomo’s response to the CoVid 19 virus reveals an arrogant, we are the best in the world, timeline response dating from February 2, 2020.   While claiming New York could handle it better than any other state, claiming New York had the best hospitals and most up to date equipment ‘in the world’ – to cryin’ the blues…

March 20th, Cuomo issued an Executive Order lockdown which remains in effect today.

Further dementia would have Pelosi brightly smiling while announcing that state and local governments require $1 trillion to stay in business and a new package is being assembled with Maxine Waters at the helm of distribution???

CHINA Trade – Bill Gates – The Economic War of Survival

Posted on by Helena

Exodus from China.  

Who is onboard the Trump Train?   Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced that manufacturing will leave China in order to be more resilient in the future. Their largest trade partners are US, EU, Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea.   Three of the five largest partner countries have significant deficit trade with China, representing a net positive to China of roughly $650 billion. The two partners that have a surplus trade represent a deficit to China of about $100 billion as of 2017. As the global economy screeches to a fingernail on blackboard halt, China stands to fall the farthest. And this is making some very wealthy people – very angry.

Between 2007 and 2018, US direct investments in China rose by 414%. The largest market share companies in China are KFC, Microsoft, GM, Boeing, Nike, Coca Cola, P&G, Intel, Starbucks and Apple. Microsoft has the largest market share at 99.3% with zero competition. While sales are huge, profits are minimal given a laptop or PC can sell for as little as $100 new. The same computer in the US might run 4 to 9 times more.   While Microsoft recognizes that rampant piracy is part of the china game and equal sales in US vs China will result in a 95% less profit, the company merely raises the price in the US to offset the lower margin in China.

Essentially, US purchasers of Microsoft products are subsidizing China 95%.

The virus has not deterred Starbucks for slating aside $130 million to build a new plant in China as per an announcement this March.

While media personalities claim that GM leaving China would cost them $2 billion bottom line per year, their financial statements reveal an interesting anomaly:   1. 2015 thru 2019, GM revenue halved.   Income taxes paid to ‘foreign governments’ totaled $3.319 billion. During the same period income taxes paid domestically totaled $199 million.   Net Income for 2019 was $6.73 billion. So if these pundits are correct – GM would lose 30% of their net revenue. China’s tariff on auto’s is 25% – in order to absorb those tariffs, GM would charge more for the vehicle – in the US. The price paid for the same car in China vs the US is roughly 26.5% cheaper. Who picks up that tab?   US auto buyers.

So is GM really a benefit to the US?   Not much…

In 2019, GM’s top six executives were paid roughly $56 million. Eleven Board members earned between $374,000 and $215,000 to do – literally, next to nothing, they meet annually. This would account for an additional $3.3 million.

These largess companies were dripping in revenue to such an extent they didn’t need to manage their finances, they didn’t need to curb costs, they didn’t need to adjust Executive salaries to a more literal value worth.   They spent lavishly, because they could!

It is complicated.

If the Reset were to include a restructure of the top end to more relative numbers, I think there would be no objection by The People, no matter their political affiliation. But if that restructuring meant a conversion from freedom to peasantry under communist rule – then any sane person – would object.

And while few would argue that the world is over-populated, the means of reduction is the value point.   Bill Gates would argue – death to thee and thee, but not to me and mine.   Gates has 3 children – so he is NOT population zero much less population reduction.   Is he willing to sacrifice 2 of his children to his depopulation agenda? How would he choose?

As of 2019, to the best of our knowledge, Bill Gates owned 5 massive real estate properties – not including land owned thru his Foundation or Trust outside of the US.   He just purchased an additional $43 million property in Del Mar, and is purportedly purchasing a $660 million yacht.   Exactly how does that translate to a benefactor of philanthropy?

It doesn’t.   It translates to a man obsessed with ownership, who has little understanding of the poverty he claims to desire to vanquish.   In reality poverty during his philanthropy has grown significantly.   Malaria has grown and HIV?Aids deaths have grown.

The MASK, the illusion.   The Wizard of Oz behind the great red curtain of Communism.   And there we find Mr. Bill and Melinda Gates.

If one were to translate Bill Gates real estate into a true cause – he could likely support the continent of Africa.   But Gates motives are not eradication of poverty so much as eradication of those in poverty so as to reduce global population by his own parameters of who is qualified to die and who is worthy to live.

And while his ‘carbon footprint’ is likely equal to Australia, he advocates for the eradication of climate change – via you and yours, not me and mine.

Bill Gates created an illusion of who he is.   He can manipulate internet data, he can purge data, he can censor data and he can rewrite data.

In the very small world of Bill Gates, we must vaccinate every single live person on earth for everything – provided he will financially benefit. If he could vaccinate the universe, he would likely call for that as well.   The man is a megalomaniac – a person obsessed with the delusion of wealth, power and omnipotence!

And all his little subjects are led to believe they will ultimately be a part of his delusion – when in fact, they don’t realize in these eyes of psychosis– they are fundamentally ‘nonessential’.  They provide nothing of value – and will be the first to be disposed of in the gulags of Democratic Marxism.

 

Socialist Marxism: Fighting the Pope, Fighting Soros – MAGA!

Posted on by Helena

When did the Catholic Church adopt Marxism?   A bishop in El Paso, Mark Seitz, is holding a vigil on the border claiming that all people are welcome!   His message is that we all need to live in communion.   In reality, his words should be rephrased to, ‘we all need to live in communism’, because essentially, Bishop Seitz is a self proclaimed ‘neo-Marxist’, and pro-open borders immigration.  Yet, despite these rather anarchist proclivities, Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of El Paso in 2013.  

Seitz follows liberation theology, which is based within far-left politics. Rising in the 1950’s in South America, it is a movement that has spread into Mexico, Haiti and the US.   In 1983 Joseph Ratsinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI, called out the leaders of this movement for politicizing religion and using the Bible inappropriately to support a political ideology of – Open Society.  Pope Benedict censored and suspended some priests for ignoring his denouncement of the movement.   And then along came Pope Francis.

Pope Francis is the first to come from the order of Jesuits.

The Jesuits are a society formed in the mid 1500’s . Their history is mired in assassination accusations, power, greed, and treason, and today child molestation.   They have created 168 educational institutions across the globe teaching a modern day version of Eloquentia Perfecta – which loosely means cultivating a person as a whole. It is a method of training a person to persuade others to think as they do through a merging of speaking techniques and virtue signaling.

In 1981 as Europe became increasingly more socialist and the new socialists embraced Marxism, Father Menendez Urena wrote The Myth of Christian Socialism in hopes of pulling the church away from liberation theology and its love affair with Marxist philosophy.   Urena belonged to the Mont Pelerin Society.

The Mont Pelerin Society calls itself an economic think tank along classical liberal lines of thought. Its founders are quite prestigious Economists and philosophers, including; Milton Friedman, George Stigler, Friedrich Hayek, Frank Knight, Ludwig von Mises and Karl Popper.

Despite coming together to form this Mont Pelerin Society, their philosophies on economics were not always aligned – and in one instance Mises became incensed and claimed the other five were a bunch of – Socialists.   It was an era of the rise of fascism in Europe, and some believed that socialism was the only means to quell fascism.   These economists fought each other and their ideals, and today the Mont Pelerin Society embraces the Austrian school of economics within the theory of Mises view of methodological individualism and ‘classical liberalism’. Hayek supported this theory and explained its process within his book;  The Road to Serfdom.  While Karl Popper fought an intellectual battle within himself regarding socialism and its perceived venue of equality.

Classical Liberalism in its original creation is actually much more closely aligned with todays conservative libertarianism of limited government and laissez faire markets.

In 2016, Pope Francis installed as the Vaticans general superior a Venezuelan, Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal.  Pope Francis biographer, George Neumayr, described Sosa as a “Marxist”, “a Venezuelian communist, and modernist”.   According to Neumayr, the only presidential candidate invited to the Vatican in 2016 was then candidate, Bernie Sanders, a Jew – “We invited the candidate who cites the pope most in the campaign, and that is Senator Bernie Sanders,” explained Sorondo, Francis’ close friend, who added that Sanders’s agenda is “very analogous to that of the pope.”

It is thought that Francis has systematically installed Marxist believers into his cabinet to advance global socialism. The caravans coming through Mexico and invading US borders were financed by these Jesuit churches and – Soros.

Soros studied under Karl Popper while at the London School of Economics post WWII.   That education provided him with the insight to develop an agenda, implement its ideals, and create a serfdom much like what Hitler attempted and failed to sustain.

The schism that came to be between these initial six economics powerhouses of the Mont Pelerin Society blossomed into a revolution of chaos and power struggles across the globe.

The Jesuits had power within educational institutions, and ultimately within the entire global Catholic community under the auspices of the Jesuit Pope Francis.   Soros brought a different skill set:   1.   His knowledge of socialism under Hitler and the Nazi’s – and where it failed, and 2.   A very highbrow education in economics at the London School of Economics whereby he realized how to recreate the National Socialists across the globe utilizing the socialist Economic ideologies of Karl Popper and Friedrich Hayek.

Today, economists still argue which philosophy is best for the people – socialism or classical liberalism.   But they argue from an historical perspective instead of from the present day, and so distort the future. They present blocks of information, but use as their core or base, a version of society and economics defined a hundred years ago.   And thus, like much of science, their very argumentative factual presentation is eternally – theory, systemic failure.

Unfortunately, in all this massive intellectualism fighting to define the globe within their parameters, The People have become serfs and are told to follow like sheepel whoever rules because they know best, they have money and they have education and they have power. Trump doesn’t speak their language.  And suddenly confronted with a truly alien identity, within The Art of War, they underestimated their enemy.

When media became more prolific and internet access opened minds and doors, the Agenda was suddenly facing its most feared opposition – Truth.   Racing to close Pandora’s Box, they have sought to own the media, to censor the media, to provide only what information sheepel can best understand – Eloquentia Perfecta!   The Jesuits taught them how to brainwash the masses.

We can only sustain as long as history records are not destroyed.   As long as media access is not censored. As long as Socialism is rooted for what it truly represents – tyranny and serfdom!

World Leaders: Pussies Without A Clue

Ronald Reagan was the last lion.

He radically changed the tax system, defeated communism, cut the price of oil by 60% and made the US the most powerful country the world has ever known.

As much I loathe Winston Churchill, at least he wasn’t a pussy without a clue. The guy at one point carried a rifle. He may have been a racist but at least he wasn’t a fucking baby. He smoked incessantly, drank scotch all day long and reviled in insulting his political enemies. God do we miss the guy.

Now, a US senator resigns because he put his hands over a woman’s breasts on a flack jacket.

Another is told to resign over a high school Halloween costume.

A German Chancellor can’t figure out why admitting a million male Syrian Muslims that can’t speak German might be bad for Germany.

A French PM can’t stop Moroccan hordes from destroying southern France. His own citizens tear Paris to pieces, Jews are run out of a country they’ve lived in for 10 generations and he hides.

In the US, politicians hide while high school kids are assaulted…

their school’s targeted and their lives endangered. Meanwhile, around the world, these same leaders cower from even the smallest problem.

The number of countries that balance their federal budgets can be counted on your left foot.

Even with a literal flood of money, these same governments can barely function. Welfare is handed out by the boatload, the people suffer from obesity, uselessness and diabetes and nobody can figure out why this is a bad thing.

And as people get fatter, lazier and more useless, the worldwide whining hits a fever pitch in a chorus of WHAT ABOUT ME!

The simple fact is,

If Vladimir Putin ran in any western country, he’d win.

The last President of the US went on television to announce his March Madness basketball picks while we were at war in five countries. He did an interview about politics on Comedy Central. And while the Navy Seals were killing Osama bin Ladin, he was in the White House kitchen playing hearts with “the body,” a man the White hired “to keep the President company.”

The President before him was so stupid he couldn’t pronounce the word nuclear.

On 911 he was reading children’s books to a grammar school class. During the Vietnam war, he joined the “Champaign unit” of the Texas national guard and learned to fly a decommissioned plane while there was a pilot shortage. Then he went AWOL and had it covered up by his daddy. His first major campaign stop was the Little League World’s series. He was given a baseball team and a massive middle eastern oil concession and couldn’t make money on either one.

America’s current crew of candidates…

include a slut, a communist, a spoiled, suburban socialist, a man who drew a grand total of 65 supporters at a border wall protest whose previous occupation was nanny. Then there’s a 76-year-old groper and another 76-year-old media “icon” who 95% of the population wouldn’t recognize in a police lineup. And to make matters worse, no one seems to know why a secretary of state who shared confidential information with people with no security clearances and took in $230 million in “speaking fees” might be doing something wrong.

Most of Europe is run by hedge fund managers for the benefit of banks.

They’re so inept they can’t even agree on what language should be used on bathroom doors. The only leader in all of Europe with any cojones’ is the 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth.

As I said, if Vladimir Putin ran for office in any western country, he’d not only win, he’d win in a huge landslide.

Thomas Jefferson once said that the people will end up with leaders they deserve. Let’s hope to God he’s wrong.
