    For what it's worth...Gates' activities are being carried by multiple news sources. This guy is a psychopath IMO. He was some high-profile lunatic that the establishment was holding up as some omniscient guru of all things including your health. Turns out his own wife can't trust him.

      Trump's 'activities' were also carried by many 'news' sources. The 'news' about Gates may be just as reliable.
      I don't like what Gates is proposing (and acting on) now, but trial by MSM (with little or no evidence) is not a fair trial.

        Maybe I'm all wrong and this guy is a saint.

          Probably somewhere between saint and psychopath - maybe closer to the latter than the former, but I'm waiting for evidence instead of innuendo.

            Remember that whatever you learn will be via "news media". Haha! That's funny to me. It's possible this guy is a saint and all this is cooked up and you and I would never know. But...his wife is leaving him and it appears he's got some baggage with the finer gender. I think JP Sears should chime in on this one...

              I think it's remarkable that they stayed together as long as they did.
              What man doesn't have any baggage in 'romantic' dealings with women?
              It's exceedingly rare that the goals of a man and a woman are mutually beneficial, imo.
              Women and men do not think 'rationally' in the same ways. (trying to channel JP Sears;^)
              That said, this is not an important issue that deserves much exposure.
              What is really going on that the NYT (and their accomplices) wish to use this to distract attention from?

    New Yellow Times taking a page from Ayn Rand's character Gail Wynand in "The Fountainhead". If a smear can make money, don't let it go to waste.

      Agreed. The New Yellow Times has a considerable record of lying over the past 50 years. I think Gates is wrong regarding his actions on vaccines, but I trust the Times even less. Neither deserves my support and I wonder if this is a smoke screen to hide something the deep state is doing.

    The New Yellow Times has been anxious to tear down Gates for decades. Could they actually tell the truth for the first time in decades?
    What is the real news that the left wants to hide as they use this as a distraction?
    Imagine if you were in Gates position and were innocent of all this innuendo, like the way Trump was treated by the media for 4 years.
    Is there any truth at all here or is this just another hit job by the MSM?

    I don't know if it means anything, but it seems weird that the foundation fund invested in a VC firm (Rally Capital) in the same building as the foundation, and that that VC firm invested in a bicycle shop whose manager claimed the foundation manager, Michael Larson, was sexually harassing her. A VC firm usually looks for things that are massively scalable and "saleable", even if they're longshots. That is not a bicycle shop. Sometimes private equity firms will buy small businesses like a bike shop. But even if Rally Capital were really a private equity firm, it's weird that one of the firm's investors would get involved in a business in their portfolio. It sounds like a way for Mr. Larson to obscure the fact that he invested the foundation's money in a bike shop in order to get a girlfriend.

    That in itself wouldn't say anything about Gates, but the meetings with Epstein and Gates' flirting with employees looks suspicious. It could certainly all be innocent or it could be a pattern.
