Numbers from this report (warning: epo.org link)
EPO dictators Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos love small economies where love can be bought cheaply (that they also speak French is a bonus, being their mother’s tongue)
Summary: It’s time for another round of fluff at the EPO, this time without even travelling (PR-over-’ViCo’)

[Meme] [Teaser] Crime Express
The series about Battistelli's "Strike Regulations" (20 parts thus far) culminates as the next station is the Balkan region

Gemini on Sourcehut and Further Expansion of Gemini Space
Gemini protocol is becoming a widely adopted de facto standard for many who want to de-clutter the Internet by moving away from the World Wide Web and HTML (nowadays plagued by JavaScript, CSS, and many bloated frameworks that spy)
Unlawful Regimes Even Hungary and Poland Would Envy
There’s plenty of news reports about Polish and Hungarian heads of states violating human rights, but never can one find criticism of the EPO’s management doing the same (the mainstream avoids this subject altogether); today we examine how that area of Europe voted on the illegal "Strike Regulations" of Benoît Battistelli
The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XX: The Visegrád Group
The EPO‘s unlawful “Strike Regulations” (which helped Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos illegally crush or repress EPO staff) were supported by only one among 4 Visegrád delegates
[Meme] IBM Has Paid ZDNet to Troll the Community
Over the past few weeks ZDNet has constantly published courses with the word "master" in their headlines (we caught several examples; a few are shown above); years ago this was common, also in relation to IBM itself; clearly IBM thinks that the word is racially sensitive and offensive only when it's not IBM using the word and nowadays IBM pays ZDNet — sometimes proxying through the Linux Foundation — to relay this self-contradictory message whose objective is to shame programmers, Free software communities etc. (through guilt they can leverage more power and resort to projection tactics, sometimes outright slander which distracts)
[Meme] ILO Designed to Fail: EPO Presidents Cannot be Held Accountable If ILOAT Takes Almost a Decade to Issue a Simple Ruling
The recent ILOAT ruling (a trivial no-brainer) inadvertently reminds one of the severe weaknesses of ILOAT; what good is a system of accountability that issues rulings on decisions that are barely relevant anymore (or too late to correct)?

[Meme] How Corporate Monopolies Demonise Critics of Their Technically and Legally Problematic 'Products'
When the technical substance of some criticism stands (defensible based upon evidence), and is increasingly difficult to refute based on facts, make up some fictional issue — a straw man argument — and then respond to that phony issue based on no facts at all

[Meme] Speaking the Same Language
Language inside the EPO is misleading. Francophones Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos casually misuse the word “social”.
António Campinos Thinks Salary Reductions Months Before He Leaves is “Exceptional Social Gesture”
Just as Benoît Battistelli had a profound misunderstanding of the concept of “social democracy” his mate seems to completely misunderstand what a “social gesture” is (should have asked his father)

[Meme] [Teaser] Miguel de Icaza on CEO of Microsoft GitHub
Our ongoing series, which is very long, will shed much-needed light on GitHub and its goals (the dark side is a lot darker than people care to realise)
Gemini Protocol and Gemini Space Are Not a Niche; for Techrights, Gemini Means Half a Million Page Requests a Month
Techrights on gemini:// has become very big and we’ll soon regenerate all the pages (about 37,500 of them) to improve clarity, consistency, and general integrity
'Satellite States' of EPO Autocrats
Today we look more closely at how Baltic states were rendered 'voting fodder' by large European states, looking to rubber-stamp new and oppressive measures which disempower the masses
[Meme] Don't Mention 'Brexit' to Team UPC
It seems perfectly clear that UPC cannot start, contrary to what the EPO‘s António Campinos told the Council last week (lying, as usual) and what the EPO insinuates in Twitter; in fact, a legal challenge to this should be almost trivial
The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part IXX: The Baltic States
How unlawful EPO rules were unsurprisingly supported by Benoît Battistelli‘s friends in Baltic states; António Campinos maintained those same unlawful rules and Baltic connections, in effect liaising with offices known for their corruption (convicted officials, too; they did not have diplomatic immunity, unlike Battistelli and Campinos)

How Oppressive Governments and Web Monopolists Might Try to Discourage Adoption of Internet Protocols Like Gemini
Popular movements and even some courageous publications have long been subverted by demonisation tactics, splits along unrelated grounds (such as controversial politics) and — failing that — technical sabotage and censorship; one must familiarise oneself with commonly-recurring themes of social control by altercation
[Meme] Strike Triangulations, Reception Issues
Financial strangulations for Benoît Battistelli‘s unlawful “Strike Regulations”? The EPO will come to regret 2013…
[Meme] Is Saying “No!” to Unlawful Proposals Considered “Impolite”?
A ‘toxic mix’ of enablers and cowards (who won’t vote negatively on EPO proposals which they know to be unlawful) can serve to show that the EPO isn’t a “social democracy” as Benoît Battistelli liked to call it; it’s just a dictatorship, currently run by the son of a person who actually fought dictatorship

[Meme] [Teaser] “Judge a Person Both by His Friends and Enemies”
Fervent supporters of Team Battistelli or Team Campinos (a dark EPO era) are showing their allegiances; WIPO and EPO have abused staff similarly over the past decade or so
'Cluster-Voting' in the European Patent Office/Organisation (When a Country With 1.9 Million Citizens Has the Same Voting Power as a Country With 83.1 Million Citizens)
Today we examine who has been running the Finnish patent office and has moreover voted in the EPO during the ballot on unlawful "Strike Regulations"; they voted in favour of manifestly illegal rules and for 8.5 years after that (including last Wednesday) they continued to back a shady regime which undermines the EPO's mission statement
The EPO’s Overseer/Overseen Collusion — Part XVIII: Helsinki's Accord
The Finnish outpost has long been strategic to the EPO because it can help control the vote of four or more nations; evidence suggests this has not changed
