America's Repellent Elite: The Truth About Bill Gates, Microsoft, and Jeffrey Epstein

 By Whitney Webb

In early May, the announcement that Bill and Melinda Gates would be divorcing after twenty-seven years of marriage shocked both those that praise and those that loathe the “philanthropic” power couple.

Less than a week after the initial announcement of the divorce, on May 7, the Daily Beast reported that Melinda Gates had allegedly been “deeply troubled” by Bill Gates’s relationship with child sex trafficker and intelligence asset Jeffrey Epstein. The report suggested that Melinda was a major reason for her husband’s decision to distance himself from Epstein around 2014 because of her discomfort with Epstein after they both met him in 2013. That previously unreported meeting had taken place at Epstein’s mansion on New York’s Upper East Side.

The Daily Beast also revealed that the details of the Gates’s divorce had been decided several weeks prior to the official announcement. Then, on May 9, the Wall Street Journal published a report suggesting that the plans for divorce went back even farther, with Melinda having consulted divorce lawyers in 2019. Allegedly, that consultation was made after details of Bill Gates’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein had gained considerable mainstream media attention, including from the New York Times.

While mainstream media outlets apparently agree that Jeffrey Epstein was a likely factor in the Gates’s recently announced split up, what these same outlets refuse to cover is the real extent of the Bill Gates–Jeffrey Epstein relationship. Indeed, the mainstream narrative holds that Gates’s ties to Epstein began in 2011, despite the evidence pointing to their relationship beginning decades earlier.

This blanket refusal to honestly report on the Gates-Epstein ties likely is due to Gates’s outsized role in current events, both in terms of global health policy as it relates to COVID-19 and in his being a major promoter and funder of controversial technocratic “solutions” to a slew of societal problems. What is more likely, however, is that the nature of the relationship between Gates and Epstein before 2011 is even more scandalous than what transpired later, and it may have major implications not just for Gates but for Microsoft as a company and for some of its former top executives.

This particular cover-up is part of an obvious tendency of mainstream media to ignore the clear influence that both Epstein and members of the Maxwell family wielded—and, arguably, continue to wield—in Silicon Valley. Indeed, the individuals who founded tech giants such as Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon all have connections with Jeffrey Epstein, some closer than others.

  2. Embedded in one of your links is an article from the Evening Standard, from 2001. It is explosive about Prince Andrew, Epstein,the Maxwell daughters, and Bill Gates (and others). The article has a kind of ingenuousness about it...Epstein was not widely known nor infamous at that time. The Maxwell daughters were notorious only through their infamous and by then disgraced father. People mainly thought of Gates as not particularly likable, but definitely not evil.

    It doesn't surprise me a bit if Gates and others at Microsoft have been run by the intelligence community, including the foreign intelligence community. Gates can act as a kind of convenient piggy bank now and again, as did Howard Hughes. Also as the supposedly squeaky-clean front man for very serious criminal conspiracies, as was often the case with similar figures acting as the CEO's of various Vegas casinos.

    This stuff is bizarre and dangerous. Imagine the Maxwell daughters making millions and millions as software or internet entrepreneurs. Really? It reminds me of a crooked former legislator here in Fairbanks who served a few terms in the House and then cashed in with his private general contracting business and software company. Sole client-- the State of Alaska. He didn't know a damned thing about business, construction, or computer science.

    (I'd forgotten all about Magellan. I definitely didn't know Magellan had anything to do with the Maxwell family. Wow.)
