IAM Remains Battistelli's Propaganda Mill, Helping to Manufacture and Reinforce Lies About Quality

Dozens of lies stuffed into less than 5 minutes

Summary: The main accomplishment of the Liar in Chief, who read a script to the camera, is that he managed to lie so quickly and so frequently with a straight face

THIS year, just like last year [1, 2], IAM is trying to impress Battistelli, whose PR agency has already funneled money into IAM on at least one occasion (that we are aware of).



"In this video, Battistelli blatantly lies about the Boards of Appeals -- in a way that no doubt would offend all those whom he attacked. He also lies about the "social conditions" -- uttering words that are enough to make staff's blood boil in well under 5 minutes."IAM would have us believe that the EPO is doing great; they have a marriage of convenience between them and the above screenshot (frame from this new video, viewed only by 275 people) is just one among many infuriating things. The Liar in Chief, who cannot speak German and can barely speak English*, is so insecure that we are hardly surprised that he just attacks anyone who dares question his authority.

In this video, Battistelli blatantly lies about the Boards of Appeals -- in a way that no doubt would offend all those whom he attacked. He also lies about the "social conditions" -- uttering words that are enough to make staff's blood boil in well under 5 minutes. Throughout his bizarre (unprofessional, he looks like a nervous wreck) reading session he keeps citing his paid-for 'studies' -- the best propaganda money can buy!

"Those who wish to understand why Battistelli has 0% approval rating amongst EPO stakeholders only need to watch a fact-checked (annotated) version of this ridiculous video from Battistelli."Unitary Patent fake news and lobbying takes up almost 20% of the entire video, claiming "renewed commitment from the UK" (i.e. ignoring the very reality of Brexit) and repeating the lies (e.g. "end of this year") from Team UPC -- lies that we continue to see floated in social media today, adding to a sea of fake news.

Those who wish to understand why Battistelli has 0% approval rating amongst EPO stakeholders only need to watch a fact-checked (annotated) version of this ridiculous video from Battistelli. If he auditioned for a clerk's position or applied for a job guarding a hamster's cage (to quote the above-mentioned joke), he'd be easily be beaten by any other candidate. ____ * It's very embarrassing to watch him read the script like a fool. I've seen elementary school students doing a better job, without having to read someone else's script and looking all awkward and robotic. Many EPO workers command numerous languages and can speak fluently in all of them, unlike Battistelli, who is supposed to be a perceptually superior boss.
