He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama for his "philanthropic" work in medicine, science and education.
He was dubbed "Good Guy Gates" by the internet, giving birth to a popular meme extolling the virtues of a billionaire who selflessly gave away his billions for the good of humanity.
He even starred in mainstream children's cartoons, with his cartoon co-stars so entranced by the presence of this real-life "superhero" that they could barely formulate a sentence in his presence.
But the unlikely arc of transformation that took William Henry Gates III from computer nerd to squeaky-voiced billionaire to reviled operating system monopolist to beloved philanthropist undoubtedly reached its zenith in 2019, when a YouGov survey found Bill Gates to be the "Most Admired Person in the World."
Surely, Saint Bill had reached his apotheosis...
Fast forward a decade, however, and, to the extent that anyone is still talking about Bill Gates, it's only to post new information about his involvement in the Epstein case or to post more creepy photos of Gates from the Epstein files:
Even The Wall Street Journal is running full-fledged exposés of Gates and his evil deeds.
So, what happened?
Well, for one thing, Who Is Bill Gates? came along to give Saint Bill a richly deserved pie in the face. And, by the end of the scamdemic, even Bill's biggest fans were sick of seeing him rolled out on the news each evening to lecture us about how our lives would never go back to normal...
As important as those cracks in the Gates facade were, however, there is obviously something even more important happening here.
When one of the key point men for the globalist agenda, the public face of,
...can become persona non grata among the globalist jet set, you know a major deep state operation is afoot.
Let's find out...
The World (Re)Discovers
Gates' Dark Influence
Earlier this week, RealClearInvestigations published "Viral Influencer: How Bill Gates' Billions Shape US Medical Research," an in-depth report seeking to shed light on the "untoward influence on government health policy" wielded by Bill Gates and his eponymous foundation.
It cites "a trove of federal whistleblower documents" provided by a source in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that demonstrate how Gates used his billions,
The report documents how:
The report goes on to explain the NIH whistleblower's motivation for shining light on Gates' role in influencing NIH programs and funding decisions.
If none of this sounds overly surprising to you, then chances are you were paying attention during Who Is Bill Gates?, the in-depth, two-hour documentary in which I painstakingly document Gates' outsize influence on government, media and the global public health space generally.
As you'll recall, the main focus of the first part of that documentary, "How Bill Gates Monopolized Public Health," is how Gates used his wealth to influence key officials in charge of the US government's COVID response - officials like Anthony Fauci.
So, if this type of information has been known and documented for years,
The Epstein Turning Point
The answer isn't hard to find. And it isn't hard to articulate.
In fact, all these questions can be answered with one word:
This is obvious enough from the fact that all press references to Gates in the past few years have made mention of his relationship with Epstein and the various sordid details of his extra-marital affairs that have leaked out as a result of the Epstein investigation.
It's even more obvious once you read "Bill Gates Spent Years Crafting His Image. Now It's Cracking," a 3,500-word deep dive into the dark reality behind the carefully crafted, PR-tested "Good Guy Gates" persona.
Published late last month by The Wall Street Journal, the article explains how Gates' dedicated staff have painstakingly fashioned his public image - styling him in the,
It also describes the scope of his communications team's efforts to track public opinion of the Microsoft monopolist:
The report then shows how far Gates' star has fallen.
It details a disastrous trip earlier this year to India, where he was stood up by world leaders and removed as a keynote speaker at an AI conference:
Perhaps to avoid similar embarrassment, Gates' planned trip to South Africa this year was cancelled altogether.
In fact, Gates is not even immune from criticism over his sordid Epstein dealings within his own organization.
Chris Levesque, CEO of Gates' nuclear power company TerraPower, was forced to call an emergency all-hands meeting this past March to address employee concerns that one of the women Gates admitted to having an affair with - a "Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities," as Gates called her - had been a TerraPower employee.
And, as James Evan Pilato reported on the most recent edition of New World Next Week, Gates' wicket became even stickier last week when it was revealed that Melanie Walker - another Gates employee with whom he engaged in an affair - also happened to be a close, long-term confidante of Jeffrey Epstein.
According to recent reports, Walker even turned to Epstein for advice when she was planning on ending her sexual relationship with Gates.
Epstein's advice?
As Sayer Ji - one of the only independent journalists who has been following the Gates story through all the twists and turns of recent months - correctly observes in his recent article, The End of "Only Good Press for Bill," Gates' carefully cultivated "Good Guy Gates" persona has been irrevocably shattered by the Epstein files.
Indeed, as those paying attention to the Epstein files have noticed, the latest batch of documents have revealed more about the Epstein/Gates relationship.
The more prurient parts of that story - like, for example, the unsent draft email that Epstein composed that alleged Bill had contracted an STD from "Russian girls" and had surreptitiously tried to give Melinda antibiotics - naturally received most of the attention.
But, as Sayer Ji has himself been exhaustively documenting, the files have also revealed the JPMorgan/Gates/Epstein pipeline for the creation of a multi-billion dollar pandemic preparedness architecture that was actualized during COVID.
Regardless of what coverage of Gates you've been following, one thing is certain:
It is inconceivable that Gates will ever again be treated with the unmitigated adulation that he received from the establishment press during the early stages of the scamdemic.
So,
What Next?
As you know by now, Gates appeared under oath before the House Oversight Committee earlier this week to answer questions about his involvement with Epstein.
However, if this testimony is a test of whether Gates' reputation has been irreparably damaged by the Epstein files, it seems the jury is still out.
The testimony itself was not recorded, so all we have to go on are the accounts of that testimony from the different committee members and, of course, from Gates himself.
As Jimmy Dore and Garland Nixon remark in their analysis of the situation, the day started out with Gates' deft - and no doubt heavily workshopped - PR move of reframing his appearance before the committee.
The statement cleverly shifts public perception of his appearance before the committee from that of a guilty Epstein associate being hauled in to answer questions about his involvement with the notorious child sex ring operator to that of a concerned citizen who has "volunteered" to "help" the committee bring justice to Epstein's victims.
(However, as Nixon correctly observes in his conversation with Dore, since the committee is there to cover up the truth about Epstein, he wasn't lying when he said he was there to help them do their work.)
The testimony opened with some prepared remarks that Gates has helpfully posted to his "GatesNotes" website and that hits all the expected talking points:
He then asked the committee members to believe that he, Bill Gates, one of the "richest men in the world" and someone who undoubtedly had the connections to talk to almost anyone in the world, was interested in networking with Epstein because Epstein could help connect him to donors who wanted to work on public health. (And if you believe that one, I have an mRNA vaccine to sell ya...!)
After the prepared statement, Gates then answered questions. Accounts of precisely how Gates reacted to this questioning differ greatly.
According to Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett,
Illinois Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi adds that Gates was,
California Democrat Robert Garcia, meanwhile, maintains that while Gates did push back on some of the questions, he was ultimately "answering the questions."
Who can say?
One thing we can say for certain is that, regardless of whatever the committee concludes about Gates' connections with Epstein, Gates will never again enjoy the public reputation of "Good Guy Gates" that he enjoyed a decade ago.
Yes, he'll almost certainly not face any criminal responsibility for his association with Epstein or for his role in the scamdemic, but his name will forever be tarnished in the eyes of the public and he'll never again command the same role of unquestioned authority in the world of philanthro-capitalism...
It may not be the justice that he so richly deserves, but Gates' fall from grace is nonetheless significant.
That someone of his stature and globalist credentials could become persona non grata among the very same globalist stooges and Davos attendees whose respect he once commanded is a valuable lesson in the nature of the globalist hierarchy.
Quite the contrary...
All of these globalist agendas will do just fine without Gates in the driver's seat, and there will be no shortage of globalist billionaires who will be willing to fund and drive those agendas.
If anything, the fact that Gates can be so easily thrown under the bus by his fellow travelers is a reminder that,
As long as this ideology persists, it doesn't matter whether any individual person is in or out of public favor.
Now that Gates' position as lynchpin of the globalist agenda is in jeopardy,
One can only hope that those aspiring tyrants observe how cheerfully the globalists are tossing one of their own under the bus and realize that they, too,
And perhaps the general public will finally wake up to the fact that,
