r_schestowitzYet China will emit more C02 regardless of that in the future.Sep 29 03:29
r_schestowitzThere's no direct correlation between population and gas emissions. Both variables are obviously connected, but it's not the main issue.Sep 29 03:29
r_schestowitzi.e. India has more population than the US but emits less CO2.Sep 29 03:29

r_schestowitz[Friday, 6 April 2018] [02:14:24 BST] <xxxx> hello!Sep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:56] <xxxx> alright soSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> here's what I wrote on the FBI tipSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> it goes a lot deeper but it'll give you an ideaSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> Bradley Airey is an extremist who runs a website called “National Unionist Front” (NUF) located at nationalunionism.online as well as a YouTube channel under the name “Brad Airey.” He is a self-professed “future mass shooter” who has made it clear numerous times he is in possession of deadly weapons. He is also a pedophile who is or has been in possession of and has distributed child pornography. He hasSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> bragged to several of his friends that he had received nude photos from underage females and has solicited nude images from minors. Airey has since destroyed evidence of his website, YouTube channel, and a NUF related Instagram account. Both his website and his YouTube channel are archived by the Wayback Machine at web.archive.org at the time of writing. He claims that he will lead his far-right group as a prophetSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> following a collapse he anticipates.Sep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> Airey’s girlfriend, Jenniffer Elise Profitt, is currently living in the City of New York and is frequently visited by Airey from Baltimore, Maryland. Profitt may be in immediate danger as he has threatened Profitt’s family multiple times. He once said he would “kill a mother fucker” and has displayed signs of psychopathic and impulsive behavior. Airey is a clear and present danger to national security and toSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> the people of New York. He has sympathized with convicted terrorists such as Dylann Roof and Robert Bowers and claims that such terrorist attacks are a result of women. One of his friends has stated that Airey said that mass shootings occur because the attackers lash out due to women refusing to have sexual relations with the attackers and that he has defended and justified school shootings in the past. His websiteSep 29 18:03
r_schestowitz[17:57] <xxxx> once read "Israel is an illegitimate country and a threat to world peace, therefore it must be destroyed." One of Airey’s former friends has stated that Airey believes mass shootings should accelerate the collapse of America which is on par with the ideology of Brenton Tarrant, the New Zealand mosque shooter.Sep 29 18:03

r_schestowitz18:46] <<xxxxx>> though i feel no need to comment in public, I believe that is still true.  The person who would most likely know may actually be Ruben SaferSep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:47] <r_schestowitz> I heard his name days agoSep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:48] <r_schestowitz> is he close to RMS? Is there infighting? Do you know how RMS edits the site and who else he granted access?Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:49] <<xxxxx>> The site I do not know about.  I know there had been some infighting in fsf admins earlier this year though.Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:50] <r_schestowitz> admins tech or admin board or management?Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:50] <<xxxxx>> I simply presume it is something he edits on his laptop in emacs, and republishes to a (formally fsf?) website.  At least that would be my best guess.Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:51] <<xxxxx>> I mean the internal site admins, they were not cooperating with other fsf activists.Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:51] <r_schestowitz> I see... so there may be so-called 'rebels' in the  ranksSep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:52] <<xxxxx>> there could well be...so this idea, he probably ssh's the html directly through fencepost, and someone editing it after, seems very plausable.Sep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:54] <r_schestowitz> we might never know; that's the worst case scenario. I heard one person on the Board dissented and defended RMS, I was guessing OlivaSep 29 20:07
r_schestowitz[18:54] <<xxxxx>> Ruben runs nylxs and has hosted Richard a number of times when he was in the nyc area.  That is why I think it is possible he might go there.Sep 29 20:07

r_schestowitz[19:08] <<xxxxx>> lf was always a corporate sponsored thing, but the fsf, how did it get so undermined?  and what to do?  I do not know an answer for that yet.Sep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:08] <r_schestowitz> RMS and I are close, by virtue of trust, and since the beginning I've been telling him this helps distract from the massive Gates MIT scandal (he partly agreed(Sep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:09] <<xxxxx>> yea, I suspect, at MIT, there are some who wish to not have the spotlight...so the idea that he was sacrificied by them to draw attention away is not impluasable.Sep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:11] <r_schestowitz> The original hit piece is from ViceSep 29 20:08

r_schestowitz[19:12] <r_schestowitz> later Fox and NYPost (News Corp. also) joined in, with more liars in between, after the emails were leaked trom MIT to ViceSep 29 20:08

r_schestowitz[19:22] <<xxxxx>> My only question and concern is what does Richard want to do now?  If GNU has to be disentangled from FSF, that is a daunting task.Sep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:22] <r_schestowitz> in the meantime people develop the codeSep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:22] <r_schestowitz> assuming the whole thing did not demoralise themSep 29 20:08
r_schestowitz[19:22] <r_schestowitz> and that's what mattersSep 29 20:09
r_schestowitz[19:23] <<xxxxx>> Yep, and maybe avoid doing fsf copyright assignment in the future.  Well, there is little real harm the FSF could do that the license does not already fix...Sep 29 20:09
r_schestowitz[19:24] <r_schestowitz> IANAL, but I think your main project is a GNU oneSep 29 20:09
