Contents
Background
Jeff Bezos' grandfather was L. P. Gise who helpeded found what would become DARPA and who in the early-mid '60s, "headed the AEC's 7 state, 26,000 employee operation." John Greenewald tried to use FOIA to find information on Gise, but was told that the file was not available.[1]
Connections
Bezos has attended 2 Bilderberg meetings. In 2013, he bought the influential newspaper Washington Post for $250 million[2].
Money into Space
In a 2018 interview with Mathias Döpfner, Bezos stated "The only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into space travel. That is basically it. Blue Origin is expensive enough to be able to use that fortune."[3]
This lack of imagination in how to use his money comes from an owner of a company known for exploitative and low wage working conditions for its employees.[4]
Donating to Australian Bushfire Relief
In January 2020, Bezos promised USD $690,000 ($1 million AUD) "in provisions and services"[5], as assistance to wildfire recovery after Australia’s devastating bushfires.[6], to gushing media coverage[7]. Critics soon pointed out that the sum was less than he made every 5 minutes in 2018[8].
