Iran & FSFE: blackmailing women, from football to the French Government (CNIL)

On Sunday, I published my blog explaining that Australia's federal government would not help the Iranian female footballers and the Queensland state police would have to step in and do it.

At the same time that I published the blog, I spent forty-five minutes on the phone explaining that as a former ALP member who resigned because of the mistreatment of Iranian women in 2013, I felt the only authority who could break the crisis was the state police force. The federal government's immigration program is designed to blackmail women not to exercise their rights to asylum.

Shortly after that, news reports appeared about a crowd trying to prevent the bus from taking the women away from the stadium. The reports go on to say the bus took them back to a hotel where the Australian Federal Police (AFP) were protecting the team and their handlers. Apparently AFP were unable or under orders not to think too hard about why the team managers keep the players locked up.

Today, fresh news has appeared: the women are in the hands of Queensland state police, the very outcome I had envisaged. State police don't have the authority to grant political asylum, however, the domestic abuse laws allow the state police to give these women shelter while they seek advice on asylum rights.

Why didn't these women ask for asylum immediately when they arrived in Australia? When you are blackmailed, it is like being part of a cult and you are under a spell.

We see the same thing in the CNIL crisis in France. In one of the libellous messages Amandine "cryptie" Jambert created attacking the privacy of my family, she claims she is a victim of blackmail, which is another word for coercive control.

In fact, if Amandine "cryptie" Jambert was vulnerable to blackmail then it was because of her own naiveté. When she joined the FSFE misfits, she asked if she could keep using the sockpuppet identity "cryptie" and the FSFE misfits said that was fine. Why did they authorise a woman to use a false identity?

First of all, with the FSFE misfits being a political lobbyist, having an insider at CNIL was a huge prize for them. They would bend over backwards to recruit a woman inside a government agency and keep her identity secret.

Secondly, by allowing her to use the sockpuppet identity "cryptie", the overlords gained leverage over this woman. Knowing she wanted to hide her real name, they would have been able to threaten to unmask her at some future moment in her career.

In fact, at the end of 2022, it was announced that Jambert was appointed to the scientific advisory board of ANSSI, that is the French equivalent of GCHQ. Having the opportunity to blackmail somebody at that level would be a huge opportunity for rogue companies.

Iran will continue sending sports teams to compete around the world during the war, just as both Russia and Ukraine have continued competing in sports throughout their war. The regime doesn't care too much if they win or lose, just as long as the women salute the flag and pretend everything is normal.

Likewise, we can look back to 2018 at the RMLL conference in Strasbourg, France and we can see how the FSFE misfits used their government employee to create a promotional video under her sockpuppet alias "cryptie". As she rises in her career, the FSFE misfits can continue using her face to promote themselves.

In Switzerland the CIA operated a fake cybersecurity company called Crypto AG for many decades. From Crypto AG in Switzerland to "cryptie" in France, who really hoped to benefit from knowing this woman's weakness?

She told people this was a weakness for her, thereby telling people how she could be blackmailed: █

You want my professionnal name to Google it? Amandine Jambert go for it, it is not a problem for any GA member to look into my bio.
But I required for personal reason not to put it on the public information and I clearly stated at the time I candidated first as coordinator then as GA member that if it was mandatory to make it public then I would not want to be a member. Thus please do not reopen this and do not make my professional name public. Best, Cryptie -- Envoyé de mon appareil Android avec K-9 Mail. Veuillez excuser ma brièveté. _______________________________________________ This internal mailing lists for members of the FSFE e.V. is covered by the FSFE's Code of Conduct.
