Benoît Battistelli's Reign of Terror at the EPO Milks a Terror Attack Again, Shows Extreme Hypocrisy

It must be almost the tenth time Benoît Battistelli pulls this trick in order to paint himself as sympathetic, concerned, and victimised

Reign of Terror at EPO



Summary: An incredible little essay signed by Benoît Battistelli, whom some colleagues hold accountable for the premature deaths of (up to) more than half a dozen EPO staff

THE EPO boasts the biggest liar in the world. Sepp Blatter is a Saint and an angel compared to him. The USPTO has some issues, but nobody ever dares compare it to anything like the EPO, where some executives would probably be in prison if they were not above the law. In some people's views or minds, Battistelli employs terror tactics for ultimate control and he breaks national laws in the process. Yes, even Dutch politicians openly call it that and defend the characterisation with terms like "Gestapo" and "Reign of terror". It's almost an objective interpretation.



"Such are the symptoms of psychopathy; Battistelli's mental state seem to have made him incapable of admitting any errors; instead he attacks anyone who dares tell him the truth, even delegates over whom he has no authority."Benoît Battistelli is a master of institutionally violent autocracy, yet he pretends to be a victim of violence. He is a master of hypocrisy, lies, etc. while he accuses others of falsehoods. Such are the symptoms of psychopathy; Battistelli's mental state seem to have made him incapable of admitting any errors; instead he attacks anyone who dares tell him the truth, even delegates over whom he has no authority. May the European authorities do to him what they did to Sepp Blatter, but they probably lack the authority to do so. They cannot even enter EPO facilities without prior permission (e.g. to independently investigate suicides).

And now, as we predicted last night, the EPO's President shamelessly exploits the Berlin attack (warning: epo.org link). How about victims (fatalities) of the EPO's legal bullying and Battistelli's reign of terror? Did Battistelli fail to spot the hypocrisy? Is he senile or something?

"European Patent Office condemns blind hatred," he wrote, yet anything Battistelli does seems to be driven by vengeance and hatred. Spot the hypocrisy from this man who turned the EPO into a "reign of terror". He complains about terrorism now.

Benoît Battistelli speaks of "inclusive society based on fundamental principles of freedom, equality and justice." Seriously? Signed by Battistelli?

"Says the man who keeps breaking German law and insists it's OK because he's enjoying immunity and impunity."He says "sympathy goes to the victims, their families, relatives and friends." Except those whose family and relatives Battistelli rebuked after his "Gestapo" drove loved ones to suicide?

"As a symbol of our solidarity with Germany and the German people," Benoît Battistelli continued...

Says the man who keeps breaking German law and insists it's OK because he's enjoying immunity and impunity.

Benoît Battistelli says the "attack will never be able to destroy these principles, nor our values of cultural diversity..."

What principles? Benoît Battistelli must be a sick, demented person if he wrote all the above himself and didn't merely sign it. He speaks of "tolerance and mutual respect." That's like Stalin or Pol Pot speaking of tolerance and mutual respect.

Another new low for the EPO... pass the vomit bag.
