Inside the Free Software Foundation (FSF) - Part VII: Richard Stallman Still Suffers From a False Narratives Epidemic

The media continues to speak about "coronavirus," but rarely if ever does it speak about child exploitation that's connected to Microsoft's co-founder, who pays a lot of money for the media to hail him as a benevolent genius (after decades of crimes and arrests)

Free Speech and Free software



Summary: People who compete for the crown of Richard M. Stallman aren't reluctant to portray him as something he's patently not or even pretend to be his friends whilst behind the scenes working to destroy him, cancelling his whole legacy of accomplishments in the process

IN THE last part we reminded readers that for a number of decades the founder of the FSF had repeatedly promoted equality and feminism. It's unfair, given his track record, to label him "sexist" or "chauvinist" or whatever (I can think of many high-profile people worthy of these labels, Stallman certainly isn't one). A decade ago people tried to twist the word "virgin" to portray Stallman as "sexist" even though both genders can be virgins and he was referring by means of semantic equivalence to people who never before used his text editor, GNU Emacs. Here in the UK when people use the word "Virgin" they typically refer to a company that operates across many sectors (rail, air travel, broadband and so on).

"A decade ago people tried to twist the word "virgin" to portray Stallman as "sexist" even though both genders can be virgins and he was referring by means of semantic equivalence to people who never before used his text editor, GNU Emacs."Adrienne G. Thompson cited us, adding: "I'm a woman. Thanks to #RMS, #GNUcgraph is a #GNU package with users worldwide from universities to electronics sector industries! RMS has always welcomed my participation and input. #RichardStallman has not departed - he remains Chief Executive of GNU!"

From what we can gather, those working to overthrow Stallman and those brainwashing/blackmailing him into that 'wilful' departure (by means of public shaming in press releases, even from GNU projects such as GNOME or groups like SFC) are the same types who had been working to ensure that people whose political views or worldview (e.g. with respect to corporations) differ from their own are altogether excluded from decision-making processes, based on arbitrary new rules and subjective notions of "ethics" (objectivity in that regard cannot be based on the UN, whose pertinent members have conflicting views on the matter and policies change over time). Stallman did not do anything illegal and his words too were twisted to construct a false narrative, boosted by Microsoft tabloids, eager to portray Stallman as supportive of Epstein (whom he had strongly condemned) whilst totally ignoring the actual connection to Epstein found in Bill Gates (who not only praised Epstein but also chose to hang out with him despite knowing what he had done). We're still waiting for the police in Seattle to get back to us with details about the arrest for pedophilia in Bill Gates' home. Later this week it will have been 6 months since the request was made. They've sent us not a single page (so far). The request was made exactly one day before the media owned by a close friend of Bill Gates started attacking Stallman, creating an MIT scandal that wasn't Gates' own. Gates used Epstein to funnel millions of dollars into MIT -- something that MIT tries hard to cover up even this year. Rather than investigate the matter it just asked Bill Gates' lawyers for a comment. We're not kidding!

"We're still investigating and later this week we expect to have an update on the police query (into the arrest for pedophilia in Bill Gates' home)."This whole affair, which some have dubbed "Free software 9/11," isn't quite over yet. We're still investigating and later this week we expect to have an update on the police query (into the arrest for pedophilia in Bill Gates' home). It's a fact, the courts have it documented.

The FSF is no safe place either, even if most of the board continues to support Stallman (we know this for a fact).

"It took me a while to realize that even someone who Stallman told me he trusted a lot," one person once told me, "was actually working to stab his back, and lying to my face while at that. Very sad, but we'll work that out eventually."

Politics aren't a lot of fun. They're divisive and dirty. Remember that the FBI put a convicted pedophile (people like Sigurdur Thordarson are generally easier to control by threats/blackmail because dark secrets are a form of leverage; he was arrested later) as a mole inside Wikileaks (to spy on everyone). Iceland wasn't happy about it and its former Minister of the Interior Ögmundur Jónasson said that "they sent a planeload of FBI agents to Iceland seeking our cooperation in what I understood as an operation set up to frame Julian Assange and WikiLeaks."

Never underestimate the corporate interests and the powers seeking to remove Stallman, deleting his legacy and making him unspeakable or synonymous with sexual abuse.
