CNBC is running the twitter hashtag #askwarren so that the general public can submit questions for Warren Buffett's interview with them on Monday, February 27th, 2017. I've created this page to document and supply real questions with accompanying documented explanations for why they ought to be asked, in order to tweet all of them using the hashtag. The reason for this is to out Mr. Buffett for being a major DAPL investor to the tune of over $6.8 billion, a fact that has been obsequiously omitted by the press. This is in all likelihood because Buffett's philanthropy protects him since he is responsible for giving Gates Foundation 58% of its stock portfolio. Since Gates Foundation manages the mainstream press via funding, Buffett is avoided in the press. FYI, CNBC, the outfit doing this interview of Buffett is on that funding list of media partners.
Thanks to Buffett's bankrolling of Gates Foundation in Berkshire Hathaway shares exclusively (Buffett's holding company) -Gates Foundation is in fact invested in the DAPL's completion to the tune of nearly $1.7 billlion. This is because over 15% of Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio is invested in majority control of Phillips 66, who has a 25% stake in the pipeline. It is Berkshire Hathaway's 5th largest holding at over $6.8 billion.
Since the likelihood is that all of these documented, reasoned questions will be ignored, the exercise is intended as a demonstration of how the mainstream media is in fact incapable of negotiating reality to the extent of being nigh completely disassociated from matters of pertinence and relevance.
The main point of reference for questions will be my published article which substantiates all of these financials:
However the third column will be dedicated to the other spectrum and indeed sordid realm of Buffett's extreme wealth capitalization, a property he shares with Bill Gates and four other men. Nonetheless, the goal will remain to generate awareness as to why Buffett's 90 wholly owned Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries should be subject to a general boycott (you can start with Geico) due to Buffett's DAPL investment, which is more than twelve times larger than any of the banks maximally financing the Dakota Access Pipeline, the largest of whom rank between $500 and $600 million. Incidentally, Gates Foundation's investment is three times as large, yet you've never heard of this in the (Gates Foundation financed) mainstream media. You never hear about Buffett because, philanthropy. Susan Sarandon called it, but she won't name the DAPL investor-mainstream media funding connection. I have. It's the Gates Foundation.
