Still Work in Progress: Getting Those 2,851 Pages of Police Report About Arrest for Pedophilia in Home of Bill Gates

Summary: It's extremely difficult to get those police records, which were requested exactly one day before the media started attacking Richard Stallman (associating him with pedophiles based on a deliberate distortion)

IN part 8 (latest part) of our FSF series we reminded readers that media helped salvage Bill Gates; he had a major MIT-connected scandal, which involved pedophiles. The focus on Richard Stallman distracted from this (what had happened with Bill Gates at MIT) and then Stallman was forced out of MIT (despite having nothing to do with pedophiles, unlike Gates).

We published some coverage earlier this year and there's no progress obtaining police records because of COVID-19. It has been over 6 months since the requests were first made. It has also been 6 or so months since Stallman was pushed out of the FSF.

"In an effort to better understand what (or who) might stand in the way of these police records, let's consider staff at Medina Police Department where Mr. Gates lives.""Bryan Lunduke published a recent online discussion he had with three others," an associate told us yesterday. "Towards the end they talked about the OSI problem. But nothing they said was insightful, useful, or even cutting to the heart of the problem. It did however make me realize that the attack is at least two layers of abstraction away from their real target, that being software freedom. Specifically they are going after Freedom O, the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose. That is in my opinion what these attacks are still about. The whining about ethic and all the individual lynchings are just a means towards the end of eliminating Freedom 0."

The net effect of the media shifting focus to Stallman was great harm to software freedom (by false association with pedophilia -- the thing which Bill Gates is in fact connected to). Talk about reversal by distortion.

In an effort to better understand what (or who) might stand in the way of these police records, let's consider staff at Medina Police Department where Mr. Gates lives.

"Look how many people from Homeland Security work there," someone told us, citing this now-deleted page ("404: The page cannot be found"). Of course their server runs Microsoft Windows (which means Microsoft controls it). Here's a screenshot of the snapshot:

Their chief came from "Fusion Center” (those who aren't familiar with the concept should look it up):

Medina police's Steve Burns



"Started digging into who was working there during the arrest date," someone told us. "Doesn’t look like he worked in Medina at the time but interesting that this small little town of elites has this level of local law enforcement."
