Projection Tactics - Part II: Causing "Serious Harm" to Many People (Even Animals)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 07, 2026

A later part will discuss "serious harm to our fish, not to mention the birds we feed"

Debian Urgently Seeks Volunteers After Data Protection Team Resigns: Data Protection? What's that?

Serious Harm was done to a lot of people last year. Serious Harm was done to a lot of people in 2024. Serious Harm was done to a lot of people also in 2023 and in 2022. In 2021, a few days apart from the apparent sacking of GitHub's CEO and arrest of his best friend (affiliate) I received a threatening letter from their GNOME buddy. We'll illuminate the full timeline in the future (the issue was escalated to the SRA, which had expressed concerns about "hired guns"). A lot of Serious Harm was done, especially to women. There was also behind-the-scenes coordination. These aren't coincidences and the court - the UK's High Court - was repeatedly lied to.

In Part I I focused on what the spouse of the person who has attacked me since 2012 said in public this week.

There has since then been more:

Matthew Garrett and his partners had me kidnapped, drugged, held hostage, raped, and tortured, this has been the last year of my life

Not even going to comment on it or suggest it's true or false; and again a few hours ago (hours apart, not impulse):

also fuck Matthew Garrett and his partners Louise and Ian Conway for having me kidnapped, drugged, raped, and tortured

So the person he married only several years ago now accuses him of all sorts of things. Does this cause Serious Harm to his reputation? Or does my wife talking about actual abuse she had received in IRC (and the Judge acknowledged she didn't deserve or invite any of this) cause Serious Harm? There were Hate Crimes. The case focused on who did this, not whether it was done (or maybe proxied). We have evidence - hard evidence - of coordination there too (private E-mails). As part of disclosure/discovery there was even more of this.

Putting things in perspective, there's a lot of projection and hypocrisy going on. That's why I've spent a lot of time and money dealing with it. That's why my wife too spent a lot of time and money dealing with it.

We've never been sued before... until 2024. Then not one American but two Americans [1, 2] (who coordinated this, they gamed the system) sued us... in a British court, using the exact some solicitor and same junior barrister (to keep their legal costs down). In light of the SLAPPs against the BBC, "American" is quickly becoming a derogatory term, an insult (because of what people associate this word with).

What does GNOME have to say about this?

What does Debian have to say about this?

What we have here are Debian people doxing people [1, 2] and maybe swatting people. This was in the news this week (we saw several reports about it, aside from the original message): "Andreas Tille, a Debian Project Leader, recently sent an unexpected message to the Debian mailing lists, announcing that the project is urgently seeking new volunteers to rebuild its Data Protection Team after all current members stepped down, leaving the project without a dedicated group to handle privacy and data protection matters." Well, Debian servers are also owned and controlled by surveillance giant Google. Putting that aside, however, what is the Debian stance or policy on doxing and swatting? Does that policy even exist?

It's rather appealing that some of the worst abusers out there pick on their critics and treat pets/spouses like they treat insects. Narcissists and sociopaths are like that.

In a land of kings or monarchs, only some people are shielded from accusations of Serious Harm. It's misguided to miss the big picture.
