  4. YOU ARE HERE ☞ Does Matthew J. Garrett's Antisemitism Tell Us Anything About His Motivation in Trying to Cancel Richard Stallman?


Summary: The true colours of Matthew J. Garrett are showing; this isn't a professional or a social justice warrior, as he himself puts it (describing himself as "SJW" with a flair and everything) but a rude, vulgar lawbreaker; one might say he's impacted by the cocaine he takes, hence he is a crackhead-turned-crackpot, who is spouting out antisemitic words online, including "gas the Jews" and "kill the Jews"

TODAY we belatedly publish part four of a series expected to last until the end of this year or next year. As a reminder, we started the series after we had unmasked Matthew J. Garrett as the puppetmaster of over 100 abusive accounts. No "handler" can handle this kind of online troll, who moreover crossed over to the underworld. For those who don't know or forgot why he matters, he basically attacked BSD and GNU/Linux users by letting Microsoft control them from the moment the computer starts up. Microsoft tried to hire him, but it didn't really need to...

"No "handler" can handle this kind of online troll, who moreover crossed over to the underworld."Within the context of Debian and the campaign to bury Richard Stallman (who was still alive in his late 60s), Matthew Garrett was working closely with Elana Hashman, who opposes the very existence of Israel while reciting Hamas slogans in public. For those who aren't familiar with those antics, see the antisemitism section in the Matthew J. Garrett wiki, which now has Rianne's article. This is no joking matter and we'll keep coming back to it.

"Microsoft tried to hire him, but it didn't really need to..."The other day we took note of another smear campaign against Richard Stallman. "Well," said one reader, "that MIT hit piece wasn't a quasi-hit piece it was a full-on hit piece. They should just close that "MIT Review" bullshit down after issuing an apology. With that MIT "Review" hit piece, someone is actively stoking the fire."

It was suggested in the past that racial or religious aspects had played a covert role in the campaign, but proof of it was scarce. When sober, those people keep their motivations secret. Garrett, however, seems rarely sober these days and his meltdowns always give away that he's behind many illegal things (that he does over Tor). Well, he cannot help himself, can he?

"This is no joking matter and we'll keep coming back to it."In fact, only a few hours ago Matthew J Garrett called me "fucking cheap ass jew". Planet Fedora (Red Hat/IBM), Planet GNOME, and Planet Debian, which have a Code of Conduct, offer a platform to Matt "gas the Jews" Garrett. With IBM, maybe that brings back memories of its founder, who saluted Hitler himself and agreed with Hitler's policies. But will the free software community tolerate such people? Will Debian allow a person who says "gas the Jews" and says he wants to stab Debian Developers inside the Debian Technical Committee? He has long fantasised about murder by axe. This isn't the mind of a sane individual.
