Microsofters Infiltrating Roles of Authority and Government Positions to Protect Microsoft and to FUD Microsoft's Competition

EXACTLY A WEEK AGO I mentioned friends of Microsofters who bully me and my wife, seeking censorship, and who had moreover infiltrated the OSI. Yes, the very same OSI that banished its own founders (and defamed them), and moreover the OSI that promotes openwashing instead of curtailing openwashing (which was its very purpose). It's the same OSI which had already become a Microsoft front group before bringing lots of Microsofters onboard, not only as board members but also as staff. We have good reasons to suspect that the OSI, now bribed by Microsoft, is shoehorning these people through nepotism or that they're piggybacking/hopping in through diversity quotas rather than technical, demonstrable merits.

Earlier this year and last year we also wrote about what happened to CISA, e.g.:

It should not be too surprising that Microsofters infiltrate not only the OSI but also CISA and fake "security" organisations, wherein Microsofters with zero technical background are speaking for 'security' at the Linux Foundation (see "Microsofters in 'Linux Foundation' Clothing Continue to Shift Security Scrutiny to 'Linux'").

It's a marvellous display of nepotism, entryism, and quite a spectacle or a circus that Andy will soon write an essay about, focusing on imposters.

Should we be surprised that these people also bring up ‘Jia Tan’ (even months later; months after Microsoft used that or brought that up to distract from a report about its entire infrastructure getting cracked by China and by Russia)?

Microsoft is at it again. As usual, Microsofters are being used to smear "FOSS", leveraging GitHub - i.e. Microsoft - social engineering for FUD ("Zero trust: How the ‘Jia Tan’ hack complicated open-source software").

Being CyberScoop, they cite "government", but this person is actually from Microsoft:

Microsoft clown

These are security clowns who promote fake security. Why are they presented as experts?

"It's an example of Microsoft getting its minions in everywhere," an associate told us, "and pretending to give advice while really throwing shade on real ICT and pushing for more Microsoft sales."

They meddle in policy-making now, so instead of banning Microsoft the government will contract Microsoft for "security" (more bailouts), and thanks to shady people from Microsoft - people who badmouth "FOSS" - there will be more laws that discriminated against Free software.

This isn't the first such incident or problem. Microsofters who created Black Duck have since then become Microsoft lobbyists who lobby the government for Microsoft with "Black PR" about the competition, i.e. endless FUD and scare tactics about how dangerous "FOSS" is.

Call them out on it and they'll blackmail and defame you. Because they're clowns and BS artists.
