Estonia: My husband and I need jobs

Matti Päts, Benoît Battistelli, Gilles Requena

Summary: Europe has a very severe (white-collar) crime problem; in fact, the 'crime network' has embedded itself so deeply inside the system that it's virtually unaccountable at this stage; a lot of the media is paid to cover it up (or keep quiet about it)

THE EPO certainly seems to have become somewhat of a hub of corruption like plunder; but what about facilitators? What have they had to gain? Or who among them gained the most? As we shall see later in this series, not only Benoît Battistelli and his French mates from INPI (and their family members) pocketed millions of euros. António Campinos (EUIPO) also had plenty to gain; much of this has been rigged all along, assuring kakistocracy at democracy's expense. No wonder today's EPO has abandoned science and law; even the courts have been rendered kangaroo courts and with help from dodgy law firms the EPO's management hopes to capture courts in pertinent EU countries (UPC), spreading kakistocracy to these countries as well.



The 'crime network', which continues to operate in Europe, has already been subjected to some convictions. But those convictions were insufficient; in fact, this very same 'crime network' is nowadays misusing public money to bribe the media and hire lawyers to intimidate the media (and its very own staff, too!) while flying rainbow flags and shamelessly promoting illegal patents.

As we shall show during the weekend and on Monday, there is a whole lot of rigging and nepotism going on, and it's not limited to the EPO; in the political context it's known as horsetrading -- a term that can "refer to complex bargaining or other transactions, such as political vote trading," according to Wikipedia.

We're only getting 'warmed up'; there's lots more to come and plenty yet to be shown.
