Bill Gates: ‘We need global government’

Is the richest man in the world calling for a new World Order?

SOURCES HuffPost Religion BERLIN 24 FEBRUARY 2015 23:00 h GMT+1

William H. Gates is worth around $80 billion, so people tend to pay attention when the Microsoft founder says
something about the way he thinks the world should go. Now, though, Gates might be in the midst of stirring
up some controversy, as the multi-billionaire said recently that the problems of the world are so big that we
might all be better off with a global government; the sort of statement that’s sure to make the paranoid set
quite antsy.

This week, The Huffington Post pointed to a recent interview Bill Gates conducted with the German
publication Süddeutsche Zeitung, in which Gates lamented the considerable troubles facing the global community.

“We have global issues,” Gates said. “The way we manage the world is not hyper efficient.”

Gates’ solution: “a kind of global government.”

“You can make fun of it,” Gates continued, “but in truth it was sad how the [climate change conference] in
Copenhagen was run, how individuals [behaved] like the UN system has failed.

“[The UN was] created especially [for security] in the world,” Gates said.

“We are ready for war, because we have taken every precaution. We have NATO, we have divisions, jeeps, trained
people. But what is with epidemics? How many doctors do we have [compared to] planes, tents, [and] scientists? If
there were such a thing as world government, we would be better prepared.”

That Gates is focused on disease in particular as a major threat to world stability is in keeping with his actions over
the past decade. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – which Gates launched in 2000, and which currently holds
assets totaling in excess of $36 billion – has, as its mission states, caused the reduction of extreme poverty and
dangerous infectious diseases. The foundation has targeted malaria, tuberculosis, and other diseases in particular, and
it has donated billions toward the treatment of AIDS.

The call for “world government” is sure to raise the suspicions of persons wary of such things. The term
itself can hardly be mentioned without raising concerns about “globalists,” “the New World Order,” and even “the
Illuminati” in some circles. Further, it’s not the first time Gates has called for increased power in the governmental
sector.

Last week, The Verge carried an interview with Gates in which the former Microsoft CEO said that the only form of
digital currency that would work is one in which governments can see who is making transactions.

“The one I see getting us to critical mass,” Gates said, “along with the government regulatory support we need is
where it’s attributed, where we can see who actually did this transaction.”

Publications such as The Blaze took Gates’ comments as evidence that Gates supported increased government access
to digital currencies.

Gates’ comments will no doubt make those wary of globalization even more nervous going forward, as the multi-
billionaire has the kind of global clout to make world leaders take notice. At the time, though, it at least looks like
Gates is focused on saving human lives, not bringing down an iron boot on humanity.
