This interview, conducted by Lyndsey Layton of the Washington Post in June of 2014,

tells us little about Gates' involvement in, or impact on, US education, or what's really

motivated that involvement; but it tells us quite a lot about Bill Gates—and, therefore,

why the interview sheds little light on those important subjects. Every time that very

capable reporter tries, quite civilly, to get him to address some common criticism of

his venture into education, his inescapable financial clout, or his own motives, Gates'

face hardens, he starts to hyperventilate, struggling visibly—and often unsuccessfully

—to keep his cool.

This may be how John D. Rockefeller would have acted, or reacted, if he had to do

his own PR on video, instead of merely posing for still photographs, conceived by

his pet propagandist Ivy Lee, to show off his "benevolence" by handing dimes to

little girls. Gates' inability, six years ago, to veil his rage at the impertinence of

anyone who dares suggest that his "philanthropy" might—like Rockefeller's—

serve his own self-interest (a notion that he calls "outrageous" in this interview)

would probably explain the care with which his image has been carefully protected

ever since (the pastel sweaters, the interviews by sycophants only), and, lately,

his replacement in the spotlight by the female half of Bill/Melinda Gates.

In short, Bill Gates, and all his machinations, must be watched with all the care

that "our free press" has taken in exalting that relentless oligarch as a great

altruist, and unimpeachable authority on nearly every aspect of our very lives.

To get some truth about the Gates Foundation's educational agenda—and its

total failure, which has not in any way deterred them (on the contrary), check

out these pieces:
