Open Source Developer Freedoms in liquidation & Debian Suicide Cluster

Various people started distributing fake news and forged documents about the liquidation. I am providing links to the evidence for fact checking.

I completed my ham radio exams when I was fourteen years old and I have had a life-long interest in communications technology.

For some time, I worked in Kanton Zug, Switzerland. That is close to the location where the CIA and BND operated a fake security company with backdoors in the software, the Crypto AG. I had no connection with Crypto AG other than working in Kanton Zug.

In 2021, there was a growing interest in the use of real-time communications for online meetings during the pandemic so I founded the Software Freedom Institute under Swiss law.

Shortly after founding the Software Freedom Institute, I purchased legal insurance from Justicia SA, formerly Parreaux, Thiébaud and Partners.

In March 2023, the Swiss financial regulator, FINMA, shut down Justicia SA and sanctioned the founder for selling the insurance without authorization. I discovered documents proving that the illegal sale of insurance was well known to insiders since at least 2021. This was the JuristGate affair.

If all the lawyers and insurance professionals knew this company was unauthorized and unregulated for the sale of insurance, how come it took them at least two years to close it down and protect the public?

It was in the minutes of the Geneva Bar Association. Presumably all the lawyers and judges knew something about it. Therefore, these people can not be relied upon to operate ethically. How can I trust any result from the Swiss legal system after making these discoveries?

Therefore, after discovering the the JuristGate affair, I decided to reduce the extent to which I engage with Switzerland as a jurisdiction for business.

At this point, the Swiss legal entity was renamed to Open Source Developer Freedoms SA. The real Software Freedom Institute is now taking steps to distance itself from the corruption in Switzerland.

Open Source Developer Freedoms SA was founded under its previous name with a share capital of CHF 100,000. Investigating the accounts of Software in the Public Interest, Inc, I found that they spent over $120,000 in legal fees to attack my organization.

Clearly, small companies with a single director can't spend the vast amounts of money that is being laundered through Software in the Public Interest, Inc.

Effectively, they wanted to destroy my company and destroy my ability to feed myself. What we see here is the intent to kill. The rogue elements of Debian are doing slow motion murder. The rogue Debianists are as comfortable with these corrupt lawyers and judges as terrorists are with knives and guns.

In early 2024, as director I ordered the redundant entity Open Source Developer Freedoms SA into liquidation. There are different types of liquidation. When a director decides that an entity is no use any more the liquidation is voluntary, like a suicide. When some third party asks a judge to order the destruction of a company, this is forced on the company so it would be more like homicide.

Therefore, is it safe to say that the rogue Debianists have spent $120,000 in legal fees to put our Open Source Developer Freedoms in liqudiation? That is what is written in the corporate register.

A call for creditors was sent out. The call for creditors notes that the liquidation was declared after my observations about the JuristGate scandal.

If we think about volunteers having to put their businesses into voluntary liquidation under the suicide analogy above then we can say that the Debian suicide cluster is expanding.

On 6 June 2024, I published the evidence about a hacker in Oxford being expelled from Debian for hacking, I identified a risk of backdoors in compilers and shells and I asked why this whole thing was hidden from Debian users.

In 2005 the Debian community voted to declassify the debian-private email archives. The Edward Brocklesby hacking allegations would have become public at that time. Nobody ever went through with implementing the outcome of the vote and publishing all the secret emails about the hacking scandal.

Two subsequent votes took place in 2016, first this vote and later this vote which repealed the original decision from 2005. It is important to look through the votes cast. The name of each person who voted to hide the Edward Brocklesby affair is included in the logs from the vote.

In 2022, the constitution was amended so there will be secret ballots and it is no longer possible to look at a record of how each volunteer voted. If there are corporations and spy agencies operating as a block inside Debian, this new voting process will make it easier for them to obfuscate their people and their methods.

Whether there are spies or not, why would a voluntary organization want to deliberately and forcefully put long standing volunteers out of work? This is a new way of killing people.
