Why is Bill Gates talking to Congress about his penis, his STD concerns, and his extramarital affairs? Answer: Jeffrey Epstein. Check out my newest piece---which profiles the red flags that continue to surface in Gates's account of his Epstein scandal timschwab.substack.com/p/congress-p...

Congress probes Bill Gates on STDs, penis & extramarital affairs
The House Oversight Committee's interview of Gates shows him to be an unreliable narrator, but doesn't bring Epstein's victims any closer to justice. It's time to expand the federal probe.

So that's why the Gates Foundation was meeting with Jeffrey Epstein for all those years? Instead of self-aggrandizing, damage-control PR, why doesn't the Gates Foundation invest some money into accountability/reparations?

Gates is getting special treatment. Many working with Gates, or hoping to, are reluctant to bite the hand that feeds them. This includes many news outlets. @apnews.com—currently the beneficiary of a $1.8M donation—is shamefully using its platform to try to put a happy face on Gates' ties to Epstein.
