Former GitHub CEO and Mono Chief Nat Friedman Donated to Ron Paul, Manipulated the Media, Censored Embarrassing Information

Ron Paul

AS noted in the last article (there's lots more on the way), SLAPP is a Microsoft thing; there's a lot of unpublished information about Microsoft and Microsofters (people who enable Microsoft's agenda, usually by entryism e.g. invading Microsoft's rivals or preventing alternatives) because they are publicity-shy. People who talk about their work interfere with their sinister agenda, so they constantly intimidate and blackmail people. Sometimes they try to libel them instead.

Today we do not commence but merely resume a series long in the making. There's no clear outline or overview for it, but it is not some strands of thoughts either.

Let's begin by stating that the corporate/mainstream/tech media generally refuses to cover the matter (people tried to get them interested). They're too busy making money by publishing spam for Microsoft.

A few years ago one victim of abuse (by Microsofters) told me that an article that I published "looks great. It be nice if the news cared. Are there any friendly news outlets?"

Knowing that they see it, are fully aware of these scandals (implicating Microsofters) is enough to reveal their agenda. I told the victim, "hold on to communications you had with buzzfeed, vox etc." (she was ignored by many news sites; they just didn't want to embarrass the Microsofters, even after they had been arrested).

Some time in the future I would like to say more about it and show how the media reacts to women who were abused (sort of like Debian Project covering up for powerful men and tossing aside "comfort women"). I want to do several parts about how they protected violent men, especially the Microsofters. We'll also name some of them along the way.

"I mean I'm still hoping that they change their mind," the victim told me, basically believing that eventually they will decide to properly cover or at least mention the issue.

I told her that crimes are made possible by enablers and it's "too late for them" (the media) because timing matters "like with Weinstein. See, they only join in when they can 'save face'; the victim can show what you said and their apathy."

Looking back, a lot of these journalists deserve the label "collaborators". If they studied journalism, they would be fully aware that they need to ask, investigate, but instead they just reprint press releases, which are basically worthless but profitable.

"I'm not sure we can really prove anything that the journalists did," the victim told me, as they typically just keep silent (the ambiguity of non-action). "Well," she said, "their story is we can't prove anything..."

But that's their job.

"I mean they did report on the Nazi incident," she said, so it is not impossible. "But what they told me was different about that was it involved an employee grievance." (Not too shocking based on insiders e.g. former staff that got burned (ousted!) by the press)

Speaking of toxic politics in GitHub, there are things Friedman would rather keep to himself. "May be of interest to you that Nat [Friedman] donated to Ron Paul in 2010," a source told us. "I have mixed feelings about that guy, but a lot of people really dislike him and he really did have a ghostwritten a white supremacist newsletter."

Nat Friedman seems to have been spending money for PR firms to "improve" "his" Wikipedia page. Like Bill Gates and Microsoft [1, 2, 3], which he has long worshipped, Wikipedia is a "stone" not to be left "unturned".
