In 2021, a court in Poland convicted a paedophile and sent him to prison. The paedophile was described as a regional activist for the Civic Platform (PO) political party. When convicting the paedophile, the court made orders that his identity and conviction could not be published as it would compromise the privacy of the victims. The victims were the children of a politician from the same party as the offender.
Radio Szczecin is a public broadcaster under control of the right-wing party ruling in Poland. In December 2022, Radio Szczecin made a broadcast alleging that a cover-up had taken place. In the broadcast, they informed the audience that the victims were "the children of a well-known lawmaker", the very fact the judge had sought to protect.
After that, it wasn't long before people were able to identify the victims.
A few weeks later, one of the victims committed suicide.
In 2017, when I discovered evidence that diversity funding from open source software organizations had enabled wrongdoing in Albania, I told some of the women that I was watching these matters carefully. To show some empathy, I mentioned to the women the fact one of my cousins had received the choir scholarship at St Kevin's College, Toorak at the same time the late Cardinal Pell was the Archbishop of Melbourne. The choir scholarships are worth approximately three hundred thousand Australian dollars. Like the Outreachy internships, the scholarship has significant financial value and being a part of the St Kevin's community opens doors for people.
This is the point where the legal and ethical competance diverged significantly.
Cardinal Pell was convicted on 11 December 2018 and a few days later, on Christmas Eve, rogue Debianists used the debian-private whisper network to spread rumours about abuse. In fact, I've never even specified whether one of my cousins is the same person who made the complaint. There were hundreds of boys in the choir over the years.
By creating hysteria, they were following in the footsteps of Radio Szczecin. In the case of Debianism, it is even worse. One of the people spreading rumours about abuse, Joerg Jaspert, was elected as a parent representative for Dalbergschule school council in Fulda, Germany. If he is unable to handle private information about children then he is totally unsuitable for that position in a school.
The hysteria has identified a number of possible abuse victims in open source software communities and as long as they persist, they are forcing people to point to possible evidence that may identify people. They already forced public attention on the sixteen-year-old victims from Albania. Instead of learning from that mistake, they demanded more public shaming. Here is one of their legal documents where they demand a public humiliation of my family:
Yet look at the irony. The judge assigned to manage the case, Richard Oulevey, is also the president of a choir. The Grandcour Men's Choir, based in the Canton of Vaud, celebrated their 125th anniversary recently.
After the Pell prosecution, media reports went to great lengths to conceal the identities of choir members. Photos were published with all the faces obfuscated:
In Poland, the judge realized that the prosecution could lead to the identification of abuse victims and he ordered total secrecy about the identity of the offender. Exactly the same rules are used to impose secrecy in cases of incest and cases involving small villages, whether they occur in Poland, in Australia or in Switzerland. A recent example was the prosecution of a bakery owner in South Australia. During the 1980s, the baker/father recruited underage girls to live and work in a cult-like arrangement leading to pregnancies. Three babies were born within a period of seven months.
The case created enormous media interest but none of the news reports are able to publish the name of the village, the name of the business or the names of the people convicted. In other words, they are hiding the name of the paedophile to protect the identities of his thirteen children.
We have seen echoes of this behaviour in the open source software communities. The cases in Albania were not the only ones.
Look at how Debianists and the Outreachy program offer financial incentives to young transgender people, even in a voluntary environment where nobody else is allowed to receive payment.
Its time to hold a mirror up to the rogue Debianists themselves. Look at the case of Pauline Pommeret, who came from an elite high school to be groomed/indoctrinated in the Debian love nest at ENS Cachan / CRANS.
Pommeret eventually came and asked for Outreachy money, which is approximately double the amount of money offered to an ordinary male intern of the same age and experience level.
If judges in other jurisdictions have gone to great lengths to protect the privacy of people in proximity to abuse cases, why do the jurists and judges in Switzerland & Debian want to publicly identify and humiliate people?
Another one of the protagonists in the case is Axel Beckert from the university ETH Zurich university. How can these people be competant to handle private complaints from students when their first reaction is to take out their mobile phone and make a public statement about everything?
Debianists spent over $120,000 on legal fees to censor blogs like this but getting a gay judge with a transgender sister would be priceless. Or just more conflicts of interest.
Please see the chronological history of how the Debian harassment and abuse culture evolved.
