People Who Facilitate Truth Will Always Win at the End

"Just always stick to the truth"

Later this year it'll be ten years since EPO management declared "war" on us. What did we do? Well, we exposed corruption. That corruption was very deeply linked to Microsoft and people lost their job due to this corruption. The international media spoke about it, Private Eye linked to us several times, and we spoke to other journalists.

10 years have passed and corruption at the EPO didn't stop. One retired EPO examiner told me this week that "it is another sign that things go wrong in this office. There is nothing to help, to save or to rescue in this office. Most of the employees just care about their own little comfort at the expense of their lives. In fine [sic] they get what they deserve. Have a nice day."

That does not mean that we'll stop pursuing truth at the Office. Or at Microsoft for that matter.

"Thank you for helping us help victims and sources (and the freedom of press)," said an E-mail this past weekend. As it turns out, our work is noticed, appreciated, and is still important to many.

Corrupt people and corporations don't like true information; they attack people who speak out truth (like the strangling of women by a Microsoft employee, who got arrested and charged for it).

When telling true information (honesty) becomes a burden to the bearer society is worse off.

We continue to believe that at the end truth prevails and bad people will get punished, one way or another (sooner or later).
