It's About So Much More Than 2 Microsofters, It's About Freedom to Speak About Crimes at Microsoft

Microsofters trying to besiege critics is a very Microsoft thing to be doing. We've covered such examples for decades already; Microsofters cannot tolerate criticism.

Suffice to say, if some people related to our professional field attack women and get arrested for it, then there's nothing immoral about relaying this information and in fact it forewarns others who might otherwise become future victims.

In that regard, what Microsofters pursue at the moment is an attack on women's safety. We would like to discuss these matters a lot further as these are matters of broader public interest.

One associate told me this year: "Do you remember the emails I sent you previously where I warned that they would make multiple simultaneous lawsuits to exceed your budget? I have proof that two people were arrested. I was just about to publish that this week."

As it turns out, Microsofters' tricks have earned them notoriety.

I responded with: "I want to clarify that MJG and Graveley (Microsoft) are actually extremely low-profile compared to some of the people who tried to undermine/censor/sabotage the site in the past, even personal friends of Bill Gates way back around 2009. In recent years we published exclusively truly damaging material, such as arrest for pedophilia at the home of Bill Gates, based on the police files that the police gave us (almost 3,000 pages). This is very suppressed information, but it is factual and when we retrieved it Bill Gates suddenly paid my British employer, which then relocated the company to Washington (this was done under NDA, a highly mysterious choice for a supposed charity)."

It is OK to publicly mention that Graveley threatened to sue and then went ahead with a SLAPP. There might be coordination further up. For the second time this month the lawyer refused to deny it and instead resorted to insults ("conspiracy theories)".

Attacking the messenger does not always silence the messenger. Depending on the nature of this messenger (and importance of the message), it might embolden him or her to do more of the same.
