EPO Collusion

Summary: Today we officially kick-started the latest EPO series; the subject of the series is no longer shrouded in mystery/secrecy and the video above is an interjection of more personal views, put aside from the series with its objective, verifiable claims

THIS is the first video of many. Part one was published just after midnight today and every day around midday we'll try to make a video on the subject of this series, which will run until the end of this month. It's about Vichyite "Strike Regulations" of a Vichy-connected Conservative politician, Benoît Battistelli, attacking EPO judges and refusing to obey judges/courts outside the EPO, looking to endlessly exploit diplomatic immunity like the son of António Campinos. When they realise they cannot dodge every single court on this planet they resort to delay/stall tactics, knowing that the "Haar question" would take years to come up and be dealt with (even then the stacked tribunals can be relied on to avoid even dealing with the question). Similarly, Team UPC (there's overlap with Team Battistelli -- same handlers) thinks it can force-feed us the UPC (with the legality of UPC challenged after its start, which can take years as the video above notes). Remember that it took 8 years to stop an unlawful regulation passed in a hurry under false pretenses. 8 years to undo a month(s)-long conspiracy to violate the human and labour rights of law-abiding EPO staff.

We thank EPO staff upfront. Many courageous workers are willing to stand up and fight against what they correctly perceive to be a rogue employer. That takes guts and personal sacrifice.

"One strategy that Microsoft has employed in the past is paying for the silence of people and companies. Charles Pancerzewski, formerly Microsoft’s chief auditor, became aware of Microsoft’s practice of carrying earnings from one accounting period into another, known as “managing earnings”. This practice smoothes reported revenue streams, increases share value, and misleads employees and shareholders. In addition to being unethical, it’s also illegal under U.S. Securities Law and violates Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (Fink)."
