What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to our so called ruling class and people like Bill Gates, I've always said that they have two faces. One face that they show us in public and then the other face that they were in private. And that face that they were in public, of course, is perfectly curated. These people have built an image, a Persona where they come off as, you know, squeaky clean people that are trying to help society. And in pursuit of that, what they do is they wrap themselves in all of this charitable giving and they use that as armor. What do you mean I'm bad? What do you mean I'm an evil guy? You see how many people I tried to save in Africa? How dare you criticize me? Don't you know that I'm giving all my money away? And I would never, ever, ever have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, all we did was talk a couple of times. Not like he hooked me up with girls. Not like I was trying to ingratiate myself to him. Not like I spent a lot more time with him than I ever let on. How dare you say that? And then when it all comes out that all of that was true, now Bill Gates wants to apologize. Now he wants to admit that he was a little bit friendlier with Epstein than he ever let on. But this time, this time he's telling us the truth. Today's article is from Firstpost.com and the headline is Bill Gates, Mr. Nice Guy. Image beginning to crack. And since we don't have an author here, we're going to go with staff. Remember how Bill Gates was almost set to visit India for the India AI Summit before pulling out at the last minute? At the time, speculation swirled online, with many pointing towards the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files. There was little concrete evidence to support the theory but the timing fuel questions. Well, I told you at the time that that's what it had to do with. And the only reason I knew is because somebody who was attending or supposed to attend contacted me and told me, they said straight up, the whole entire thing is about Epstein and about the fact that Bill Gates has been less than honest with not only the public, but with his own colleagues, his own peers. So Bill Gates has caused himself quite a problem, not only with people like us, but within the billionaire circle that he runs with now. A new report from the Wall Street Journal offers perhaps the clearest look yet at how deeply the Epstein controversy may be affecting Gates. Public image, business relationships, and standing among some of the world's most influential figures. And just remember when people call it a hoax or that things are being blown out of perspective, just take a look at all the most powerful people in the world that have been caught up in this and why don't you ask them if it's overblown or if it's not real or if it's a hoax. Some hoax, huh? How much is this hoax cost? Leon Black? And do you think that Leon Black is being separated from one single dollar without him kicking and screaming? You think he's just gonna pony up a bunch of dough to the Virgin Islands because you know he wants to? He pieced that money off because he knows he was in trouble. He knows that they had the goods. But the usvi, they're more interested in getting money. It was never about justice down in the usvi. And that was always my point. And I remember when I first started bringing that up, there were people like, well, what are you talking about? Denise George has this SECO suit going. And it looks like the USVI is the only place that's looking for justice. And I told everybody then they were looking for a settlement. And what do you know? That's exactly what they got. And remember, the USVI got more money than the survivors put together. But yeah, it's the survivors who are looking to benefit here. For decades, Gates carefully transformed himself from hard nosed software executive into one of the world's most recognizable philanthropists. And through the Gates foundation, global health initiatives and climate investments, the Microsoft founder cultivated an image that often overshadowed memories of the fierce businessman who built one of the world's most powerful technology companies. And there's always been stories about Bill Gates being a shark. The thing is, his image was carefully curated not only by Microsoft and himself, but by the media. And before social media showed up, when the legacy media built a profile of somebody, that's what everybody believed. If they told you that Bill Gates was a great guy, that's what you believed. Of course, now we know all of that's contrived in bs and we know that the legacy media was controlling narratives to help people out. Of course that can't happen anymore because they can't control the narrative. Once the Internet showed up and social media popped off, that was the end of that. And I think that Covid really accelerated the whole thing. I mean, people were locked up in their houses, so they had plenty of time to dive into all this shit. And I think it's ironic because the whole entire goal was to control the narrative. But once you lock people in their houses and gave them access to the Internet, basically all day, every day with helicopter money being dropped on them, people are going to dive into some. And a lot of people found out that Bill Gates and all these other so called philanthropists aren't the good people that they make themselves out to be. And it came as a shock, but I don't think it's a shock anymore. According to the report, however, that image is beginning to show cracks. The report claims that Gates and his team have spent years carefully managing his public Persona, monitoring how he's perceived and shaping everything from appearances to messaging. Yet despite those efforts, recent revelations surrounding his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have increasingly become impossible to separate from the broader Gates narrative. I mean, you know it's bad when people like Warren Buffett are ghosting you. Bill Gates is not exactly the kind of guy that gets ghosted. But that tune has certainly changed over the last few years, and especially recently with the revelations that have come out. The Wall Street Journal reports that internal efforts to track public sentiment suggests that Gates favorability ratings have declined as renewed attention has focused on his interactions with Epstein. And look, it's obvious to anyone who paid attention that what Bill Gates was telling us about his relationship with Epstein was a bunch of bs. I mean, you don't have to be a genius to figure that out. All you have to do is listen to what he said and then look at the documentation that was provided at the time. And that was before we even had access to the files. But now that the Epstein files have been released, or some of them, it's very obvious that Bill Gates has always been lying about his relationship and the extent of that relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Sophie's lying about that. What else is he lying about? While Gates has repeatedly acknowledged meeting Epstein and described those meetings as a mistake, the issue has continued to resurface, particularly as additional documents, emails, and reports have emerged over time. And I think it's been the slow drip that has killed a lot of these people. If they would have just got out ahead of it when it all first came out and they were like, look, this is what's going on. This, this is why I'm caught up in it. I think people will be a lot more receptive to their narrative. But the fact that they hid from it, the fact that they tried to deny it, the fact that they lied about it, well, now people are going to have a lot more questions. And I think those questions are going to probe a lot deeper than just surface level. And they should. I mean, it's about time people have questions. I mean, I know everybody's so worried about what Spencer Pratt's doing or what's going on with insert politician here, but, bro, we got big problems. And every single one of them originate with these people. Whether it has to do with shitty finances, out of control college, tuition, unaffordable housing, or sending your kid to war, these are the people that are making those decisions. And the fact that those very same people are mentioned thousands of times in those files should terrify everybody. One factor that appears to have amplified the fallout is the role played by Gates former wife Melinda French Gates. In previous interviews, she identified his relationship with Epstein as a significant factor in her decision to end their marriage after nearly three decades together. Yo, imagine you're a wife of 30 years dumping your ass because you're hanging out with Epstein. And it's not like you're some janitor or a car salesman. You're Bill Gates. And your wife is like, you know what? You're such a degenerate scumbag, you're such a sick bastard that I'm divorcing you because you wouldn't heed my warnings about Jeffrey Epstein. Just think about that for a minute. And for those of you out there with a wife or a girlfriend, you know what I'm talking about. If your wife or your girlfriend has strong opinions about somebody like that, never a good idea to keep hanging out with them, and people can say, oh, what, you let your girlfriend decide who you hang out with, bro? Sometimes, yeah. Do you trust your girlfriend? Do you trust your wife? Do you trust their opinion? I know that I do. And if my girlfriend tells me, hey, look, Bobby, I'm getting a bad vibe from this dude, and I don't think that you should be around him, I'm going to take that serious. Because when it comes down to it. There's nobody I trust more in the world than than her.

She's my best friend, my partner in life, and the person that I feel is the most honest with me. So if she has something like that to say about somebody, I'm listening. And it's not like Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were running around the neighborhood together when they were youngsters. So it's not like they were like lifelong friends. Some dude enters your life and your wife is like, look, not a good guy, probably not somebody to spend time with. My advice? You should listen. The combination of personal disclosure and ongoing public interest in the Epstein files has created a reputational challenge unlike any Gates has faced since stepping away from Microsoft's day to day operations. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the Journal's report concerns Gates relationship within the billionaire and philanthropic circles he's long occupied. Among the names mentioned is Warren Buffett Gates, longtime friend, business ally, and one of the largest contributors to the Gates Foundation. According to the report, the relationship appears to have cooled significantly in recent months. Yeah, Warren Buffett won't even return his calls. Bro is absolutely pulled back. You can say what you want about Warren Buffett, but I don't think we're gonna find Warren Buffett in the Epstein files. Certainly not somebody that's having a, you know, back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein. And that's because guess what? Warren Buffett knew just like the rest of these people knew. But Warren Buffett has enough sense not to have any kind of association with him. The rest of these people will. We can't say the same thing, can we? And I think it's telling. When you lose a guy like Warren Buffett, it shows everybody else just how bad things are. And just how serious the situation has become. And I think when it comes to Bill Gates, the situation is very, very serious. Maybe not from a legal perspective, but reputationally. And for Bill Gates, that might even be worse. The Journal points to comments Buffett made earlier this year indicating that he had not spoken with Gates since the latest Epstein related disclosure. While neither man has publicly characterized the situation as a falling out, the report portrays a growing distance between two figures once considered among the closest partnerships in global philanthropy. And there's no doubt about that. They were running around talking about how they're donating their fortunes, the whole thing, and then the newest Epstein stuff comes out and that's the end of that. So all the people out there that think it's overblown, maybe you should make your case to Warren Buffett. I'm sure he'd be very receptive. The ripple effects reportedly extend beyond personal relationships. Gates has allegedly withdrawn from or missed several high profile events in recent months. He was notably absent from Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, an event he had regularly attended for years. Reports suggest advisors recommended that he stay away despite not being formally excluded. But look the old hey, look, you're invited, but better if you don't come. Better off if you do not come. So maybe not uninvited formally, but uninvited all the same. The Journal also claims some speaking engagements and executive gatherings have quietly disappeared from his schedule as organizations seek to avoid becoming entangled in controversy. Whether this represents a temporary reputational setback or a more lasting shift remains unclear. Gates remains one of the world's wealthiest individuals and continues to lead one of the largest philanthropic organizations on the planet. And yet the report highlights a reality increasingly familiar in the digital age. Carefully constructed public images can take decades to build, but only a few controversies too fundamentally alter. And I think that the criticism of Bill Gates is just going to continue to grow. He's somebody that lied about Epstein, lied about that relationship and continues to lie about it. So the fact that his friends are pulling back and ghosting him is not really that unexpected. So my question is, will this be the new reality for Bill Gates or is it only temporary?
