It is also notable that Mr. Gates has been rumored to be acquiring stock in
pharmaceutical companies.

I was at a meeting recently where a senior UNICEF staff member
warned that they and other UN agencies are now being starved of
cash because all the big money goes to private initiatives such as
the ones you mention. We must recognize that this is just one more
symptom of the process of neoliberal globalization rapidly
transforming the world as we all sit relatively helpless and watch.
Money and power are draining away from all forms of public activity,
even governments, into private control. Gates and a few other
individuals control more wealth than the Rockefellers and their like
ever dreamed of. Where is it all leading? Is there any way to avoid
a science fiction scenario in which our children live in a world
entirely under the control of a few huge corporations and the few
males who run them?
PS: Further evidence of the weakening of the UN, both financially
and in terms of its ability act independently on behalf of the poor is
the recent acceptance of Nestle into the UN Global Compact and
the recent announcement of a partnership between UNICEF and
McDonalds.
