2020 is not a good year for Bill Gates. Like Rockefeller, Soros and other donors before him, he is hostile from many corners. His appeals to limit the corona crisis with simple measures are fading, at least in the USA. The publication date for his book on combating the climate catastrophe has been postponed to next year. In September his father died, in many ways the defining figure for Trey, as William Henry Gates III was called by him. Today Bill Gates celebrates his 65. Birthday.

Anyone who consults search engines about Bill Gates in Germany today, will inevitably come across conspiracy-theoretical pages with the slogan “Don’t give gates a chance”. The sentence that 1987 was enlivened by the Minister of Health Rita Süssmuth in the campaign “Don’t give AIDS a chance”, went 1998 into the Linux movement and was for a time the name of a website for the torture of Bill Gates in Brussels. Now the phrase is used by people who hold Bill Gates responsible for many things, such as Planned Parenthood, a movement in which his father William Henry Gates II sat on the board. From planned parenthood and the fight for medical care for women, the conspirators construct that Bill Gates III wants to reduce the world population. His father died in September 2020 and was a great role model for Gates.

Bill Gates is also hated for his steadfast adherence to science and supports this through his foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with many millions so that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 can be found. From this search for a possible vaccination, the conspirators make an obligation to vaccinate with the assumption that in this way people with microchips will mutate into drones.

Technology against the madness Against the madness, the strictly rational thinking Bill Gates has no other choice than to refer to the three conditions, How to fight the pandemic: Once vaccines are developed, what is needed is the capacity to produce those vaccines, the funding to pay for them, and systems and containers to distribute them around the world. Bill Gates thinks big, but in the existing social order. This also applies to his ideas on climate change, against which Bill Gates relies on nuclear power.

The Gates Foundation was originally founded as the William H. Gates Foundation and was initially run by his father. It has three main focuses: In the area of ​​health, it promotes the research and development of drugs and vaccines and their dissemination. In order to fight hunger in the world, the foundation also takes care of agriculture. She wants to research productive crops and support farmers, especially in Africa. The foundation is also involved in educational programs for young people in the USA. Bill Gates, once the richest person in the world, and his wife Melinda 95 want to transfer percent of his assets to the foundation while their three children are with have to reckon with relatively modest sums as heirs. The stated goal of the foundation is to have used up all funds years after the death of Bill and Melinda Gates.

Gates manages the foundation’s assets as a tough entrepreneur, in the style of the years he was at the top spent by Microsoft. The foundation also invests its funds in corporations like Exxon and BP, which do not exactly represent the climate change propagated by Gates. 2018 the foundation had assets of nearly 47 billion dollars, 2020 she funded the development of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine with 350 million dollars. For Gates, there is no question that a vaccine is coming and that the pandemic will evaporate. As a staunch technology fan, he also sees good things in the current situation: “We have only made the progress of maybe twelve years this year,” he said recently in an interview with Geekwire.

From DOS to Windows to the foundation – and a “too big house” William Henry Gates III was born in the Swedish Hospital in Seattle. He is the second child of Bill and Mary Gates, a lawyer and a teacher. At the Lakeside School in Seattle he stood out with his mathematical achievements and was allowed to write the first small computer programs 1968. He got to know the somewhat older Paul Allen and spent every free minute with his friend on the computer.

He began his career as a programmer who wrote a 4 KB BASIC for the dawning era of home computers. In an interview anno 1968, Gates named all the developers of the PDP operating system and the programmer John Norton at TRW as the most important sources of inspiration for this work. There Gates helped as a 17 – year old to test and improve a real-time operating system. His life would be
