Newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Jeffrey Epstein files have exposed a 2011 email exchange that directly references Bill Gates in an extraordinarily disturbing way.
Hollywood producer Barry Josephson wrote to Jeffrey Epstein:
“I’ve been thinking a lot about that question that you asked Bill Gates, ‘How do we get rid of poor people as a whole’… and I have an answer/comment regarding that for you.”
Epstein replied by suggesting Josephson could share his “answer” with Gates at their next meeting.
This exchange appears in official DOJ-released materials (Data Set 9) and is part of the verified Epstein files.
The same email thread also mentions Epstein referring to a 16-year-old girl he described as his “niece,” who was supposedly working as a model in New York.
Bill Gates has acknowledged meeting Epstein multiple times after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for crimes involving the sexual exploitation of minors.
Gates has described those meetings as a mistake tied to philanthropy efforts.
Melinda French Gates has spoken publicly about the Epstein connections, calling the situation “beyond heartbreaking” and expressing hope for justice.
She pointedly noted that difficult questions remain—even for her ex-husband.
A spokesperson for Bill Gates has called related allegations “absurd and completely false.”
The phrase “getting rid of poor people as a whole” appearing in a documented communication linked to Jeffrey Epstein and referencing Bill Gates is alarming enough on its own.
What makes it far more concerning is Gates’ central role in shaping global health policy and pandemic response.
Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates has invested billions in vaccine development, global disease surveillance, population health programs, and pandemic preparedness initiatives.
His foundation was deeply involved in funding research, manufacturing partnerships, and distribution efforts during the COVID-19 crisis.
When a figure with that level of influence over global health—especially in poorer nations—has documented ties to Epstein and is referenced in a conversation using language about eliminating entire populations of the poor, the overlap raises profound questions about motives, private discussions, and unchecked power.
These are not isolated incidents.
They sit within a broader pattern of elite networks intersecting with massive sway over issues of life, death, poverty, and disease on a planetary scale.
The public now has access to this exchange in official records.
Full transparency, complete context, and unredacted documents are essential.
No amount of philanthropy or public health work excuses the need for real accountability when statements like these surface in government files.
