One world sycophants

One World have nominated Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as one of the finalists for their “People of the Year”. The write up on the Gates and other super rich “The Philanthropreneurs” is nauseating and seems to have been written by a sycophant who doesnt even attempt to look beyond the superficialness of this philanthropy. I am suggesting and hoping that as many people as possible will write in to One World on why the Gates Foundation should not win and to call upon One World to demand full social responsibility from the Foundation and all the other “philanthropreneurs”.

A OneWorld garland on the Gates…
It appears that the companies that the Gates Foundation invest in have become the measure by which the philanthropic venture would be judged. We have failed to get governments to do the right thing by CSR so hound philanthropists to do it for us. No!…

[…] Sokari has the goods on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Faux corporate philanthropy sucks and needs to be exposed. Thanks to Sokari. See also One World Sycophants. […]
