Intercontinental Brigading - Part X - American Back Doors Inside Our Computers, With Transatlantic Swatting Against Critics Thrown 'Into the Mix'
"If your Windows PC's Secure Boot certificates are out of date, your system is vulnerable to malware like rootkits." -PCWorld (this week)

Last month: Computers Freeze Because of UEFI Restricted Boot | Canonical Has Withdrawn Ubuntu 24.04.5 Installer Due to a Critical Bug Connected to Microsoft-Controlled Restricted Boot and TPM
Previous Parts:
In 2012 Microsoft (and by extension the NSA) was plotting to take over GNU/Linux-running PCs from the moment they're turned on. I confronted this horrible project right from the early/earliest point of it, as some NGOs and technical groups had been sounding the alarm. At a later point Intel arranged a conference call for me, in which I spoke to managers at Intel about my concerns. They failed to change my mind. I still have a recording of that call (I never published it; it's meant as 'insurance' in case someone attempts to distort what was said).
Almost 15 years have passed since then and the things we've warned about all those years became true. They're still becoming true. But there are attempts to frustrate if not censor the criticism, with threats sent to me by post as recently as weeks ago as if hired guns from London can prevent me talking about what I know and what actually happened.
Despite the evidence, and in direct contradiction to the evidence, the people who helped Microsoft with this project (and even publicly boasted some months ago, saying they were getting drunk with Microsofters while doing so), are not apologising. Worse yet, they go directly on Microsoft's payroll.
In the case of what I call the GGG brigade ("Restricted Boot" Garrett, "Microsoft Plagiarism" Graveley & "Gas The Jews" Lozza), later this week I'll show a PDF that I sent to British Police after "Gas The Jews" Lozza attempted to despatch cops to our home, in order to target both my wife and I. It worked only in the sense that two cops showed up.
"Gas The Jews" Lozza would later dox the police (in another continent!), as they didn't prove "useful". It would get worse the following year.
No sane person would deem this appropriate. As I'll soon show, it's not legal either.
People who value Software Freedom still have legal rights. Bullying by swatting (attempted murder by cop) doesn't prove one wrong. █
