Eric Lundgren in the Media Again

Overview



Microsoft's Declaration of War on Recyclers



Summary: The "Lundgren story", which was documented for Netflix publication, is now at Vice (not exactly known for objectivity but for insincerity)

Eric Lundgren was in the news yesterday [1] (yes, again), as pointed out to us by a reader. Will this get the debate reignited again? Oddly enough, it came from the same publication that lied about Richard Stallman, causing his career's deterioration. This publication later publicly celebrated this 'achievement' (in a later article) and that helped distract the media from the Bill Gates Epstein-MIT scandals. That publication is funded by a close friend of Bill Gates, which makes one wonder...



Either way, yesterday we asked a friend of Mr. Lundgren about further information and sent our wishes to Mr. Lundgren. The series is likely not over; we still want to publish court material one day. Microsoft did that selectively just to demonise if not slander Mr. Lundgren. This merits a belated response now that he is out of prison. “I don’t know what I was supposed to learn by going to prison," he was quoted as saying yesterday. Issues to cover next in the series: Microsoft Silencing Media; Court Mischief; Legal and Financial Ramifications. It may take some time as the man is recovering from over a year inside a cage, for the 'crime' of recycling old PCs, harming potential new sales (manufacturing) with 'new' copies of Windows.

    “I don’t know what I was supposed to learn by going to prison. I just made the most of my time while I was there,” he said. “They try to break you in prison. That’s basically what prison is set up to do...I would say my time in prison definitely emboldened me further towards my goal which is to see that all the e-waste in the country and the world isn’t thrown away but is recycled.”

    In prison, Lundgren sketched out a plan for a new business. When he got home, he hit the ground running. His new business recycles electric vehicle batteries.

    “We’re going to save 47 million pounds of batters from landfills this year,” he said. “It’s going to save billions of dollars in commodity value alone and take away 70 percent of the toxicity in our landfills.”
