A new book aimed at "exposing the billionaire class" claims that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates' investments in patented fertilizers and agricultural land are not saving the planet, but rather enriching his bank account. The book "The Controllers," which arrives on bookstore shelves today, discusses billionaires like Gates and how their wealth controls the instruments of power that dominate the daily lives of ordinary Americans. Investigative journalist Seamus Bruner alleges that his research uncovered Gates' efforts to buy U.S. farmland and invest in synthetic dairy and lab-grown meats under the guise of climate protection. Bruner stated that Gates is doing more to inflate his net worth than to eliminate carbon emissions, according to the "New York Post."
In an interview with "Fox News Digital," Bruner added, "The seeds and fertilizers were patented, and now they are obtaining patents for meat alternatives." He also pointed out that "banning livestock would effectively give monopolies to alternative protein companies and benefit investors like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and even BlackRock." He claimed that "the goal of fake meat is to control the food market, not save the planet."
