| schestowitz | > Hey Roy,> | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > I had some shocking news in my case. When I was trying to get | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > Switzerland to take-back jurisdiction for my case, and I was living on | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > an asylum-grant, the social office for asylum-seekers wrote a letter | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > claiming I was a "danger to myself and others", claiming that the fact I | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > was seeking asylum in Switzerland meant I was nuts. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | In Azerbaijan, a high-profile media freedom proponents has just got refuge in the embassy of Switzerland, so Switzerland is known as a good pick for safety from prosecution, even if you're a victim of Nazis, let alone ex top Nazi (Switzerland protected them too, especially their money). There is nothing irrational about choosing Switzerland as a safe harbour. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | Feb 16 11:51 | |
| schestowitz | > This is complete bullshit, of course, it was done to have a legal basis | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > for Switzerland to shut-down my asylum case. It also shut down a case | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > run against me while I was in France - for debt-embezzlement (the | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > bizarre trial run against me while I was on asylum). | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | I still don't know what the trial was about (in French), but the E-mails remain marked pending analysis (if any). I am fighting corruption at the European Patent Office at the moment, which keeps me busy. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | Feb 16 11:51 | |
| schestowitz | > So in a nutshell, that's why all my cases have tanked here. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > This case has to go to the Strasbourg court, and it's a really f'd up | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > case, but I'm writing it up right now. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > I had my hearing in France, but I doubt I'll win it - that will probably | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > have to go to Strasbourg too. That was a dramatic thing; the lawyer I | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > had was really bad, and the court wouldn't let me change from her, so I | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > had to fire her the day of my hearing. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | That doesn't make you look better; to them it's a sign of a side falling apart. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > Ah well. France and Jennifer have one thing in common: "drama". | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > I am right-now liable for deportation if my French case closes, so I'm | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > slamming together my Strasbourg case. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | Strasbourg can decline to pick it, depending on prior determinations. | Feb 16 11:51 |
| schestowitz | > So this is damned serious. The Swiss set it up (probably with USDOJ | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > inputs) so I can not only be deported, but jailed and institutionalized | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > in the US, just for filing asylum. Go figure. I should have stolen | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > some secret files for this kind of treatment, but in my case, this is | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > what you get for refusing to spy, and naming-the-names of the persons | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > involved. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | I still need to actually grasp what this is all about. It's still too vague to me. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > I'm not twittering for now. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > The case is really beyond-twitter, even beyond an article, i.e. I have | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > to get the thing into the hands of competent legal representation now I | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > have the full-information (what the Swiss did was REALLY illegal, and | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > they won't correct it domestically) and then I have to write a book, | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > because this case is too wacky and complicated for a reporter to wrap | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > their heads around it without direction. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | If it cannot be explained simply, I was once told, then there is something wrong. Everything can be explained concisely to make a point. As for writing a book, writing it is one thing, finding an audience is another. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > I found the ZDnet article on your edits, i.e. "Articles of Roy | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > Schestowitz". Holy shit, _you really are being persecuted_. With all | Feb 16 11:52 |

| schestowitz | > being done-in, taken it from someone who knows. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | That's done most likely by corporations, not the state. Although I believe, and can probably prove, that a mole was "assigned" to me to try to entrap me or to test me. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > That's the kind of bullshit they were pulling on me in 2007, when they | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > first cyberattacked me (and libelled me online), before they tried the | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > stunt with crimina-informant recruitment, i.e. before they showed-up and | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > tried to make me spy. They don't do that kind of public insulting of me | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > anymore, because I got my California Senator involved (and that Senator | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > is Dianne Feinstein - the torture-report Senator). I think that the | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > game is that I'm to be sent-back to the US and be declared insane à la | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > Susan Lindauer. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | The one who blew the whistle on Iraq, IIRC, or something to that effect, and was then painted a loon of Saddam... | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | Well, at least they don't say you work for Russia. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > I do not concur. I want justice. Even if I were insane (which I'm | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > not), my rights under the ECHR were violated. There's a Peruvian guy | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > the Swiss declared insane without due process (see Ruiz Riviera v. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > Switzerland, March 2014) and the Swiss got nailed for it in March 2014. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > That guy cut off his wife's head and threw it out the window. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > I'm going to guess that I'm a more sympathetic victim. | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:52 |
| schestowitz | > Give me a break. This really did happen and the Swiss are such pussies | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > (excuse me) that they think that they can write me up as insane and | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > criminally prosecute me and slide me off the territory. As-if. | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | The Swiss are still allies of US plutocrats, whose money they protect and rely on. Depending on the nature of your case, you might be seen as a liability to them. | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | Feb 16 11:53 | |
| schestowitz | > I have two friends (one of them a UNHCR officer) willing to testify that | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > i was perfectly fine at the time the Geneva State claimed I was a | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > drooling idiot - i.e. they were claiming I couldn't form coherent | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > sentences. I was, at the time, tutoring my friend's kid in trigonometry | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > and practicing Latin a-cappella for the Geneva State 'Fete de la | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > Musique', i.e. the Geneva State lied. And that I can prove. | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > I can also prove a Federal judge lied in this case. But don't get me | Feb 16 11:53 |

| schestowitz | > | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | > More later. Take care. | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | Going against a judge in a court is like complaining to the police about a cop. It's not a good strategy. | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | In other news, from over here, we got 166 pages of Home Office documents 6 months after we had requested them. I guess that in a sense I am relieved to find no evidence that I was being singled out due to my activism (punishment by means of immigration law). | Feb 16 11:53 |
| schestowitz | I'm going to Singapore next week, but when we get back I might need a couple of weeks more to catch up and then I'm ready to cover some new scandals, if I deem them substantial and compelling enough to actually make a good case and bring about real change (I did cause a lot of chaos in the EPO with 50+ articles in the past 6 months). | Feb 16 11:53 |

| schestowitz | This case is very clear now and it mirrors a lot of what I've seen before, the modus operandi where you induce stress, then cause the person to seek help, then label the person 'insane' to harm credibility, then work to entrap the person.

| schestowitz | the stuff you're looking for... LXLE forums are awkward and little used. Mint forums, on the other hand, are very active with lots of users who are enthusiastic and friendly. A lot less whipped cream to wade through. Hey both distros are wonderful! Both are well supported. Both work "out of the box" for most users. Both are "user friendly." I think that the Mint tools are especially awesome, the updater much safer than the all-or- | Feb 21 21:40 |

| schestowitz | I may have to give Mint another try.

| schestowitz | GNUWinII was my bridge into the free software world over ten years ago, so I totally get how small steps can be doable when giant leaps are just too intimidating and impractical. | Feb 21 21:41 |
| schestowitz | LXDE is very impressive.

| schestowitz | toplel, of course I can't but so can't I read patches by Linus himself and others. Does that mean I takes them as a malicious code? Nope. You know the main power of open source (especially when it comes to kernel code) is that there are always people from opposite sides looking thought it and so we are quite safe. I'm paranoid but not stupid you know... | Feb 18 00:24 |
| schestowitz | So, the same question you made I ask you, can you prove this stuff is save? or you are simply relying on that you said before | Feb 18 00:24 |
| schestowitz | there are always people from opposite sides looking thought it and so we are quite safe. | Feb 18 00:24 |

| schestowitz | "A full translation may help as my understanding of 3.7 to 3.9 was that Suepo did not get delayed justice but, rather, has no access to ILO as only individuals have standing, not associations et al.

| schestowitz | Dear Anon@10:05, paragraph 3.8 says that the fact that individual employees of the EPO can lodge an appeal with the EPO and the ILOAT against limitations of their right to strike is not relevant in the context of the case ("is in dit verband niet dorslaggevend"). Art. 11 ECHR safeguards the right to carry out collective actions and collective negotiation. In other words, the court does acknowledge SUEPO the right to have access to | Feb 20 19:52 |
| schestowitz | alternative legal relief, regardless of the fact that individual employees can lodge an appeal (which is the argument the EPO tried to use in its cross-appeal to dismiss SUEPO's suit). Individual right to strike and SUEPO's right to organise strikes and negotiate are distinct rights. | Feb 20 19:52 |

| schestowitz | "I'm not sure what Spidey means by "not maintained well enough," but I use both LXLE on an ancient old desktop, and Linux Mint on a newer laptop. They are both very newbie friendly and simple enough for this padawan to manage okay. The difference, for me at least, is the support for each distro. Both are Ubuntu-based, so you can get support on Ubuntu Forums if you can put up with wading through clouds of whipped cream to finally reach | Feb 21 21:40 |
| schestowitz | the stuff you're looking for... LXLE forums are awkward and little used. Mint forums, on the other hand, are very active with lots of users who are enthusiastic and friendly. A lot less whipped cream to wade through. Hey both distros are wonderful! Both are well supported. Both work "out of the box" for most users. Both are "user friendly." I think that the Mint tools are especially awesome, the updater much safer than the all-or- | Feb 21 21:40 |
| schestowitz | nothing approach of LXDE, and the community support is much better for Linux Mint than for LXLE. But like I said, I use - and love - both distros!" | Feb 21 21:41 |
| schestowitz | " | Feb 21 21:41 |
| schestowitz | I may have to give Mint another try. As you know, I'm pretty hard core myself, but I'm always interested in virtualizing newbie friendly distros for friends and family and was not happy with the promptness of the security updates in Mint the last time I tried it, which was when I was still using VirtualBox so several years ago. | Feb 21 21:41 |
| schestowitz | GNUWinII was my bridge into the free software world over ten years ago, so I totally get how small steps can be doable when giant leaps are just too intimidating and impractical. | Feb 21 21:41 |
| schestowitz | LXDE is very impressive. I wish I'd known about it for my extremely technically disinterested octogenarian mother before the XP EOL, but she seems to have adjusted to Lubuntu okay, especially since I'm adjusting to unplugging from the internet and going back to a landline phone if I really want to talk to her. | Feb 21 21:41 |
