Apparently Nelson Rockefeller is his 7th cousin, 3 times removed, whatever that means. The relation seems to be very, very distant, and I wouldn't be surprised if I were at least that closely related to someone in the cabal.
Gates is beyond evil, but the distance of the Rockefeller relation makes me think he has no such excuse. I'm betting he got there entirely on his own "merits."
I know that Gates father was rich, but I start to feel icky inside even reading about these disgusting excuses for human beings history if I try to research them.
I know for fact Bill took already publicly available medical technology (something to do with the mouse specifically) and incorporated it into windows, and then patented the tech.
It's weird, we never truly got out of the "robber baron" era mentality, did we?
Both Gates and Steve Jobs had seen a mouse and graphic user interface at Xerox's PARC (Xerox Palo Alto Research Center).
Jobs PAID to see the demo at PARC - and it wasn't his idea, the real inventor of the Mac, Jef Raskin, was trying to show Jobs that the Mac and the GUI was something he should get behind. Gates never saw it, as far as I recall - but a lot of companies saw the Alto dog and pony show before the higher ups at Xerox slammed the door, because of what they were giving away. Gates later ripped off Apple because Jobs stupidly gave Gates two prototype Macs with source code so MS could have apps ready for the debut, with a verbal promise not to steal anything - which Gates promptly did. Also, a point left out of the urban legends around the infamous meeting of Apple and the PARC guys is that the Apple GUI was almost done by the time they saw the demo at PARC. It was a proof of concept show for Jobs, who wasn't all-in on the Mac at that point. The PARC and Apple guys all knew each other, they knew they were both working on GUIs, and the mouse concept came from someone they all knew at Stanford. I have a lot of inside baseball on all that. My dad worked with the PARC guys involved with all of that, and knew the guys who did the dog and pony show for Jobs and the Apple devs with him. There's a really good book about PARC, and the events there, I think it's called "Wizards Of Menlo Park", something like that, that lined up almost perfectly with everything I was told and heard. PARC was an amazing lab, that produced tech that the idiots in the Xerox leadership just gave away. The other major fuck up was this PARC guy who invented this printer language called Postscript. The braintrust at Xerox said "what are we supposed to do with this, we make copiers?", so the guy left PARC and started...Adobe.
Is it maybe Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age?
I think there's another book that I don't remember the name of now. I may have gotten all my info about PARC from chapters in other books about Compaq, Atari, etc. though.
Yeah, it was crazy how much stuff PARC came up with that other companies ended up developing.
An interesting book about Xerography an it's creation is Copies in Seconds: How a Lone Inventor and an Unknown Company Created the Biggest Communication Breakthrough Since Gutenberg--Chester Carlson and the Birth of Xerox
Postscript wasn’t much of an invention though since it’s essentially just FORTH. The big idea was to use an actual Turing complete language for page description. But it was a bit much for the first laser printers. I mean I can see why xerox might have ditched that idea for printers due to the hardware resource requirements.
Oh, but thou shalt not steal from him, as his Open Letter to Hobbyists and his lobbying to Congress assured... He's such an ass.
Here's another interesting article I came across. It kind of tells the story from Jobs point of view, but I'm pretty sure he's known for changing history to take all the credit and make himself look better.
It might have also been the GUI. if you want I can look it up, I know he took something that was already being used widely in the medical field related to computers. Whether it was software or hardware I do not remember off the top of my head.
Let me know if you remember what it is. I tried to dig into it a little, but Gates is accused of appropriating from a lot of people in a lot of different areas.
Have you never heard of his father?? Bill did make it there on “his own” merits.
Fauci Photographed With Soros and Bill Gates’ Father, Who Was ‘Head of Planned Parenthood’
Always soros
I know that one of his parents was on the IBM board or similar, so he definitely had a leg up, but I'm not too familiar.
That said, I didn't mean to imply that his success was from merit. Instead, I was trying to say that he can't blame his evil on a distant blood relation to a Rockefeller. He made his own choices.
Yeah, it's hardly a rags to riches story. His parents were millionaires back when that really meant something. His dad had ties with the Nazis, and he was a lawyer. Both Bill Sr. and Mary Gates were on a variety of key political and business boards. His mom was so influential, she got him that deal with IBM for MS-DOS.
It's crazy that Bill Gates is seen as a "rags to riches" story, when it's absolutely not true.
After he basically stole DOS from Gary Kildall. If I remember right, Kildall may not have seen the future of home computing though.
Yeah and if you ever listen to the Starbucks story out Of Seattle and the lawyer that defended them yeah mr. bill gates sr? Don’t drink Starbucks.
That’s not how the MS DOS deal went down.
It’s actually a very interesting story and I encourage you to read it.
If you feel like Gates would lie about it read from the IBM perspective.
Gates actually told them to go buy CPM first.
High profile Liberals spend their whole lives crafting a fake, sympathetic past.
Well his father was a doctor who loved eugenics. This wasn’t just jr. Deciding to be a mass murderer on his own. Seems like the family business.
Bill gates sr and his BFF margret sanger
Potentially his grandfather as well, as his name was listed in a photo of the Second International Congress of Eugenics (1921) https://archive.vn/ql0Bb (131. W. H. Gates)
Maxwell, eh?
Gates’ father got him a Congressional Page job when he was in high school. That’s where Gates was most likely ass-raped by several members of Congress, who used him as a boy toy. Later I’m sure he cashed that in.
Yea, it's 2 ways.
They said the Deep State Cabal is families and blood lines only - apparently, you can't even buy your way in. Everyone hints at this system, even in Hollywood.
Then it's just, dudes that are just rich. I too presumed that Gates, Bezos, were rich dudes, not connected with the Bloodlines.
Trump is rich too, but he has this feel to him that he identifies more with the working class than the elites. That he'd rather chat with contractors than blue bloods.
What's the term? New money? Nouveau rich? The contempt that the nobility have for the wealthy members of the merchant class?
Yeah, nouveau-riche or bourgeoisie. Both identities are scorned. They’ve even created “bougie” for the proles to hurl at their closest betters for crab bucket purposes.
