I worked in Mali, Uganda, Kenya, Senegal and India. In many place the agriculture is dependant of seeds they can&#x27;t regrow and have to buy or attach to specific chemical products they have to buy too. Rivers are polluted with the said chemicals, insects develop resistances, soils are now dependant of external nutriments. GMO are sold with no prior testing. Everything you can&#x27;t do in Europe or the US, they do there. The green revolution, instead of helping create an indendant agriculture, created a relation of total dependancy to the investors and spreaded destructive agriculture methods.<p>But I&#x27;m not going to insult you the way you did insult me. Because I&#x27;m not insane. I&#x27;m a polite person sharing an experience.<p>BTW, my very first mission in Africa was for the Gate foundation. Half of our budget went directly to intermediary entities as a &quot;managing fee&quot;. We couldn&#x27;t control our budget ourself, we had to ask to people doubling our bills and taking a cut. Reports were falsified. And nobody cared. I never received once an email from the foundation to check how things were going.<p>It&#x27;s not a suprise really. Gates was the founder of one of the worst company known, and yet praised for it.<p>MS did so many bad things, and no one seems to remember:<p>- corruption : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;alexandrawrage&#x2F;2013&#x2F;03&#x2F;20&#x2F;microsoft-whistleblower-allegations-highlight-global-corruption-risks&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;alexandrawrage&#x2F;2013&#x2F;03&#x2F;20&#x2F;micros...</a><p>- helping dictators : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.salon.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;09&#x2F;06&#x2F;wikileaks_microsoft_tunisia&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.salon.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;09&#x2F;06&#x2F;wikileaks_microsoft_tunisia&#x2F;</a><p>- Monopolistic practices : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.networkworld.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2221165&#x2F;microsoft-subnet&#x2F;a-blast-from-the-past---microsoft-accused-of-monopolistic-practices.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.networkworld.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2221165&#x2F;microsoft-subnet...</a><p>- patent troll : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;appft1.uspto.gov&#x2F;netacgi&#x2F;nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;d=PG01&amp;p=1&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;s1=%2220040230959%22.PGNR.&amp;OS=DN&#x2F;20040230959&amp;RS=DN&#x2F;20040230959" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;appft1.uspto.gov&#x2F;netacgi&#x2F;nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;Sect2=...</a><p>- extorsion as a business model : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asymco.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;05&#x2F;27&#x2F;microsoft-has-received-five-times-more-income-from-android-than-from-windows-phone&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asymco.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;05&#x2F;27&#x2F;microsoft-has-received-five...</a><p>And the Gate foundation keeps it up : <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.agoravox.fr&#x2F;tribune-libre&#x2F;article&#x2F;bill-gates-philanthrope-oui-mais-19525" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.agoravox.fr&#x2F;tribune-libre&#x2F;article&#x2F;bill-gates-phil...</a>. Small translation :<p>&quot;As for most philantropic organisation, the Gates Foundation gives each year less than 5% of its capital to pay minimal taxes. [...] The remaining 95% are invested.
