"The primary element of social control is the strategy of distraction which is to divert public attention from important issues and changes determined by the political and economic elites, by the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions and insignificant information."

--Noam Chomsky

Summary: Puff pieces for Benoît Battistelli published aplenty while the European media refuses to deal with the reality -- not paid-for illusions -- at the European Patent Office

TODAY, the media carried on with puff pieces about the EPO -- the same media which completely and utterly (intentionally, obviously!) ignores EPO scandals. As we pointed out before, EPO budget is in circulation to facilitate this (literally millions of stakeholders' money). Benoît Battistelli, having wasted millions of Euros on his publicity stunt (lobbying), writes about his favourite subject today; that subject is himself. Within just minutes, the PR team at EPO rushed to suck up to this 'king'. Why did they rush to do this promotional nonsense? As quickly as they offer condolences to victims of terror attacks? What about victim of Battistelli's regime of terror? Was it not worth noting that there was another suicide at the EPO yesterday? Another one among many? We don't want to go into specifics (which we have) but merely to point out what an insidious place the EPO has become -- a place where terror attacks are exploited by Battistelli to spread lies and to gain more power while employees are crushed and their deaths covered up.

One knows that Battistelli has got the EPO's PR team by the balls because they link to his blog within as little as 20 minutes (after publication) while never mentioning any bad news pertaining to the Office itself. Only a fool would, at this point in particular, choose to relocate for an EPO job. ⬆
