How We'll Cover the Illegal Attacks on Us and Our Families (and Why It's Increasingly Important to Do So)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 15, 2024

At best, these illegal attacks are time wasters and moral injury; Now in a state of panic and apparent disarray, the shameless perpetrators desperately try to hide their deeds by hiding evidence (by deleting accounts, deleting sites, demanding takedowns etc.) under the false assumption the victims did not meticulously archive things

Business Conflict

THIS past 1-2 years we dealt with a mob connected to the attacks on Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens*, Alex Oliva, and Professor Eben Moglen. Last year we started writing about this every Monday (my wife did so last Monday) because we wish to focus on our main topics rather than spend a lot of time writing about those who attempt to silence us (among others).

Next week we plan to start writing about the deplatforming attempts. That alone can take about 3 months to cover. We'll name the culprits, show what they did, and then cover finer details about their 'facilitators'. As it turns out, some of the same people attack not only GNU/Linux luminaries (or Free software bigwigs); they do the same in the security sector, Wikileaks etc. Lots of false accusations and libel. We'll present many court documents to bolster our assertions. It's all on the record, even actual arrests.

Hands of a man with handcuffs

At some point later, maybe in early summer, we'll talk about our police reports (we reported the perpetrators to the police).

At some time around summer we'll talk about pensions/Action Fraud, taking us back to the Sirius series because those things are connected. Yes, there was also doxing and various other aggravations.

By the time we finish this series, almost certainly by year's end, we expect that many innocent (but maligned) people will be vindicated and their vilifiers exposed.

Personally, nothing would please me more than not having to write about it. But at this point, given the mountain of evidence, I believe I must. It's a moral obligation to other targets (victims) of the same mob. These people are literally on drugs (not even denying it). These gangsters and mobsters think they're being clever, hiding behind minority causes (to which they do not even belong), but they leave an extensive trail of abusive and illegal behaviour. We spent a lot of time documenting it. We'll share lots of it this year. â–ˆ
