The Inner Game of Tennis (2022), reviewed by Bill Gates from his website, https://www.gatesnotes.com/. Well let's look at who Bill Gates is, by his bloodlines.
Bill Gates, I thought he was just some lucky pioneering nerd, nope, not by looking at who he relates to. From this article:
"Thomas Cornell Sr (c. 1595 – c. 1655) was one of the earliest settlers of Boston (1638), Rhode Island (1643) and the Bronx, and a contemporary of Roger Williams and the family of Anne Hutchinson. He is the ancestor of a number of North Americans prominent in business, politics, and education."
A rundown of key relations of Bill Gates; He relates to founder of Cornell University, a signer of the declaration of independence, a war general representing Rhode Island, Presidents Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon, John Kerry and a prime minister of Canada. (And a few more in the quote).
The rundown is from this quote of the Wikipedia link above:
"Thomas Cornell is an ancestor to a number of prominent and notorious Americans: Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University; William Ellery, signer of the Declaration of Independence; Ezekiel Cornell, a Revolutionary War general who represented Rhode Island in the U.S. Continental Congress from 1780 to 1782;[4] Bill Gates; Presidents Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon; First Ladies Elizabeth Monroe and Frances Folsom Cleveland; Senator Bob Graham; Secretary of State John Kerry; Amelia Earhart; Stockton Rush; Josh Rosen, NFL player; neuroscientist and self-described psychopath James H. Fallon;[5] and accused axe murderer Lizzie Borden, by way of Thomas Cornell (Jr.)'s daughter, Innocent, born to his second wife, Sarah Earle Cornell, after his execution.[6]"
"Cornell is also connected to distant Canadian lines, who settled north into Upper Canada, notably in Scarborough, Ontario and Markham, Ontario via William Cornell (1766–1860) from Rhode Island. He is also linked to Sir Robert Laird Borden, Prime Minister of Canada via Richard Borden's marriage to Innocent Cornell."
Yeah, not so lucky nerd. More like American blue blood. This shocked me. So now Bill Gates gives me deep state vibes, which makes his company Microsoft sit nice and cozy next to spook-vile Google.
This is no different to the J.P. Morgan family, both with continuous prominence tracing back to the 1600s in the UK.
"Miles Morgan was the son of lawyer and politician William Morgan, who would be elected a Member of Parliament in 1628." (In UK)
William Morgan was a politician and a senior lawyer in the King's Counsel, appointed by the Monarch.
"One of his sons, Nathaniel, continued the legacy of the Morgan name by becoming a powerful member of his small town. " (Now in America by 1636).
So yeah, Bill Gates... who would have thought!
Oh, and even more relations of prominent people through John Kerry:
