Gemini version available ♊︎Europe’s Second-Largest Institution (EPO) is Not Only Violating the Law But Also Acting in Defiance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
“No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.” –Article 12 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Summary: EPO staff and stakeholders working from home are having their basic rights grossly violated by António Campinos and his cohorts, who very well understand that they break the law but hope that nobody will notice
Days ago an article was published about “The Struggle for Technology Sovereignty in Europe” (outsourcing to US firms disguised as ‘European’ is a joke at our expense).
“As I explained this morning, Microsoft is funded partly by the US government (i.e. American taxpayers) and the US military…”“From now on,” it says, “every country or group of countries must ask itself whether it produces the technologies it needs or has guaranteed, unfettered, long-term access to them. A country that answers no is vulnerable to technological coercion that is no less severe than the military coercion of yesteryear.”
An article from yesterday, entitled “How the U.S. is Able to Dictate to the Rest of the World,” talks about financial aspects as follows:
The U.S. moves against any country that dares to act on a belief that its resources should be for its own people’s benefits rather than maximizing profits of multinational corporations or prioritizes the welfare of its citizens over corporate profit or simply refuses to accept dictation in how it should organize its economy. The military is frequently put to use, as are manipulation of the United Nations and the strong arms of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). But sanctions are a frequently used tool, enforced on countries, banks and corporations that have no presence in the U.S. and conduct business entirely outside the United States. The U.S. can impose its will on national governments around the world, using multilateral institutions to force governments to act in the interest of multinational capital, even when that is opposite the interests of the country itself or that country’s peoples. And when a country persists in refusing to bend to U.S. demands, sanctions imposing misery on the general population are unilaterally imposed and the rest of the world is forced to observe them.
In short, the U.S. government possesses a power that no country has ever held, not even Britain at the height of its empire. And that government, regardless of which party or what personality is in the White House or in control of Congress, is ruthless in using this power to impose its will.
As I explained this morning, Microsoft is funded partly by the US government (i.e. American taxpayers) and the US military; its aim is — inter alia — to serve objectives of hegemony imperialism, partly by economic espionage (where they seems fitting to the goals higher up).
The fact that EPO management has made a deal to outsource all its important data to Microsoft (even highly confidential data because the ‘encryption’ is totally fake) will be explored in part 8 of the series. We intend to publish that shortly. The previous parts are listed below. █
