Senior management and HR email privacy: Martin Ebnoether (venty), Axel Beckert (xtaran) & Debian abuse in Switzerland
In Switzerland, people will never normally tell you if a death is a suicide. It is almost impossible to find out unless the next-of-kin tells you.
Nonetheless, looking at the vast amount of money, $120,000 spent on legal fees, they seem to be confirming to the whole world that Adrian von Bidder-Senn's death on our wedding day was not a random heart attack. Why would they spend so much money on having lawyers censor the discussion if it was not a copy-cat suicide?
When two Amnesty International workers committed suicide, the families received compensation. The compensation amounts paid by Amnesty appear to be higher than the money Debian is paying to lawyers to cover up the Debian suicide cluster. It feels like somebody made a cold-hearted economic decision that a cover-up is cheaper than an apology.
When the cyberbullies started attacking my family in 2018, I didn't immediately reveal anything about how many unpaid volunteers had committed suicide.
Nonetheless, from September 2018 to the point where the suicide cluster first became widespread public knowledge in 2022, that is more than three years the Debianist cyberbullies had sustained a campaign of harassment against my family and I.
Their attempt to raid Proton Mail and find every source of leaks about Debianism was a new low. We have to look beyond Axel Beckert, the dirty man who signed the document, and look at his partner too. After all, some people may not realize these men are involved romantically. When they begged the police to raid Proton Mail, did they tell the police that Beckert's boyfriend and I had both been working at the same company in the super-secret Zug tax haven?
In fact, the dirty men triple-tricked the police. They didn't tell the police that Adrian von Bidder-Senn died on our wedding day. They didn't tell the police about that because Adrian's widow, Diana von Bidder-Senn, was running for Basel city council. She eventually became the mayor and the police didn't realize they were tricked to help a politician cover something up. Not telling the police that Beckert's boyfriend worked with me in another company was the other big trick and it is not to be underestimated.
The police don't appreciate it when dirty men like this use them as puppets for a political vendetta.
They didn't tell the police that the Fellowship had elected me as their representative. Rather, they tried to create the illusion that I was some random stranger who had stumbled across Debianism by mistake. A representative has an obligation to inform other Fellows about the conflicts of interest, for example, the Debian pregnancy cluster helps us understand that members of the snobby set are using the "diversity" slogan as a sham to siphon off money in the names of their wives, gays and tranny friends. A representative has an obligation to inform other Fellows about the health and safety risks, such as the Debian suicide cluster. While the kissing cousins in Crans-Montana did no fire inspections, I was doing everything possible to study and publish evidence of safety risks in free software communities.
They didn't tell the police that I had resigned from some voluntary duties around the time my father died. I was never an employee or subordinate of those dirty men, I do Debian as a volunteer only. We have no obligation to take orders from them or make ourselves available to them in any way. Yet they scream "harassment" at the top of their voices if an unpaid volunteer questions an order from one of these alpha-male gays.
Look at how overbearing it is, they expect people to announce sick leave and family events to over a thousand strangers on the (now leaked) debian-private whisper network. Why did they expect me to tell them about the death of my father?

Hi,
I'm sick (some viral infection causing cough and sniffles) since
Friday, 7th of February and I'm sleeping most of the time (or at least
trying to). The doctor said it may take clearly more than one week.
I'm currently neither following Sid nor my mails(*), nor the UDD DMD.
Feel free to NMU where necessary.
I'm also not able to sponsor aptitude currently. (Cc'ing Manuel
directly because of that.)
(*) I may not read replies in time. I likely read SMS send to my
mobile phone (+41797694554) within a day.
P.S.: This message should never be disclosed.
Regards, Axel

Looking at the TU Darmstadt sweatshop incident, we can see that Axel Beckert was one of the developers living locally and inviting other volunteers to come to Darmstadt without a place to sleep. One of the victims tricked to come to Darmstadt was Frans Pop, the victim who wrote his suicide note the night before Debian Day. Here is that picture of the victims sleeping on desks at TU Darmstadt while Beckert was able to sleep in his own bed nearby:
After the tragic fire at Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, Switzerland there has been widespread ridicule at the incestuous web of family connections linking the Swiss police, the prosecutors, the fire inspectors, the elected officials and the business owners. Look at how Swiss police were tricked to help two male lovebirds from Zurich trying to raid Proton Mail and find people leaking stuff about the Debian suicide cluster but nobody did any fire inspections at Le Constellation for five years.
Why was detecting leaks about health & safety leaks more important than enforcing fire safety regulations?
Just as we have to pick apart the political and romantic links in the municipality that was supposed to be supervising Le Constellation, we need to look at the links between these two men and everybody else.
The first major pole of influence is ETH Zurich. The man who tried to trick the police, Axel Beckert is employed there.
Adrian von Bidder-Senn, the unpaid volunteer victim who died on our wedding day, was a former president of the ETH Zurich computing student's association (VIS) and his widow, the mayor of Basel, Diana von Bidder-Senn obtained her PhD in cybersecurity at ETH Zurich. If they gave her a PhD in cybersecurity and she failed to understand the impact of social engineering on her own husband then it brings the institution into disrepute.

Hi,
I'll be on holidays with the camper van in Scandinavia (Norway,
Sweden, Denmark) for most of July this year:
* departure around 4th of July (with some days of preparations before
that)
* return around 30th of July (back in the office on 2nd of August as
1st of August is a national holiday in Switzerland).
I will likely have mobile internet on most of the time, but since I'll
be behind the wheel most of the time, too, don't expect me to read (or
even answer) mails in time or to do much for Debian in that time.
Probably the best way to reach me there in time is on my Swiss mobile
phone (+41 79 7694554), e.g. by SMS.
Feel free to NMU where necessary (e.g. if I don't repsond within one
or two days to RC issues and there's no team(*) or co-maintainer
listed and responsive), but please also commit changes to the
according git repository where possible (most of my packages which are
not team-maintained are under collab-maint).
(*) The packages listed on
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-wml-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
are not really team-maintained. The "team" only consists of me
nowadays. :-/
About our (Venty's and mine) travel plans:
Our main target is the southern 3rd of Norway, but we will be driving
through Denmark and the south-western part of Sweden, too -- either on
our way to Norway (i.e. during DebConf) or on the way back or both.
I'm happy about suggestions what places are interesting to visit (e.g.
Hackerspaces :-), which FLOSS events take place in July in
south-western Scandinavia, or where we can find people keen on
coke-signing and key-singing despite (or after) DebConf. ;-)
Our plans/ideas so far:
Denmark:
* Rømø
* Holbæk (in case Jonas is at home ;-)
* Kopenhagen
Sweden:
* Vänern / Trollhättan
* maybe Karlstad
Norway:
* Oslo + Drammen
* Haugesund
* Trollstiegen
* Lærdalstunnelen
* Ålesund
* Trondheim
For those who understand German (knowledge of Swiss-German is _not_
required ;-) and want to follow our journey, we very likely post
occasional updates on our travel podcast at https://penn.semmel.ch/.
And yes, no DebConf for me this year: The German government requires
electronic fingerprints to be included in passports nowadays (which I
refuse to give) and South Africa requires passports for Germans… (And
if I'd go to DebConf every year, there would be not much holiday time
left for visiting those areas I want to visit, too. :-)
Regards, Axel

Flickr photo of the campervan from 2011:
In the same Flickr account, we found Martin Ebnoether taking photos of children at a miniature railway.
While I don't want to imply anything with that photo, remember that Debianists have a long history of making payments to boys dressing as girls. Why did they have the discussion about those payments on the notorious debian-private (leaked) whisper network and not in public?
Here is another one where we find the names of the male couple together:

That was a rhetorical question and a statement. To make it clear: From my point of view there is no issue at all with neither the package name nor the program names included in it. The fact that you discovered the package only now just shows that the vast majority of people just don't care about funny package or program names and don't feel offended, either. (And IMO Debian should just do the same. And actually does that for about 8 years now. Why should that suddenly change?)

Here is an old report about them at an event and a photo of the lovebirds together:
In 2022, the lovebirds were running the Swiss Village at May Contain Hackers (MCH2022):
They run a podcast together Pennsemmel Podcast shows they are producing programs together throughout 2023, in other words, at the very same time they were trying to have me molested.
Having exposed all the other links between parties in this cover-up, it is time to come back to the point that Martin Ebnoether, the partner of Beckert, was working in the same company as me. What was his role and what privileges did he have?
Ebnoether was part of a small sysadmin team for the Swiss branch office of the company. As it is Switzerland, the email accounts for Swiss-based managers are all hosted in Switzerland under the control of local sysadmin staff. This means that Ebnoether was one of only a very small group of people who could monitor the emails, home directories and web browsing habits of the senior managers and HR department, in other words, the power to snoop on any correspondance concerning any of our managers, colleagues and clients.
It seems highly unlikely that our former employer would have wanted to open up a whole can of worms by taking sides in a Debianism vendetta. Quite the opposite, when a senior IT worker leaves a company in Switzerland, whether it is Ebnoether or myself, they expect the worker to maintain indefinite secrecy in relation to company data and trade secrets. Yet here we have two romantically-compromised sysadmins attacking a developer years after I left that company.
Even more remarkable, we can see that Ebnoether's 16 years at the same company suddenly ceased at almost exactly the same time they tried to have me molested. Did the company catch him trying to access my HR file or anything else that they could use against me? Did they sack him for abuse of privilege?
To understand why this is remarkable, look at the terms of the employee share plan which is visible online.
INTERACTIVE BROKERS GROUP LLC 2012 BENEFITS SUMMARY
...Restricted Stock Plan
- Awarded annually based on performance.
- 10% vested in May 4 and 15% annually thereafter for six years.
Each year Ebnoether was in the company, he received some shares based on his performance. The shares vest on a staggered basis, with some of them only vesting in the seventh year after the award date.
When somebody leaves the company, they lose all the unvested shares, in other words, they lose about half of the shares awarded in the six years before departure.
Why did he leave at the end of March and not wait for the shares to vest on 4 May? That is unusual.
The longer you stay with a company like this, the more attractive it is to stay in the company and keep building up lots of stock. These arrangements are described as golden handcuffs.
Therefore, does the timing of his departure from the company suggest it was linked to the attack on a former colleague, myself?
In many cases, companies don't even know when a sysadmin goes rogue. They may have had a hint or a suspicion he was part of the Debian vendetta but no way to know for sure whether or not he had misused his access rights. They may have found some way to put him on garden leave under the pretense of downsizing.
Take another look at the report about Swiss police molesting Trevor Kitchen. Did Ebnoether actively seek to engage other former colleagues in the plot to have a former employee molested?
Amnesty International published a report about the Swiss police using violence to "arrest" and sexually abuse Trevor Kitchen for his reports about financial corruption.
Trevor Kitchen, a 41-year-old British citizen resident in Switzerland, was arrested by police in Chiasso (canton of Ticino) on the morning of 25 December 1992 in connection with offences of defamation and insults against private individuals. In a letter addressed to the Head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police in Berne and to the Tribunal in Bellinzona (Ticino) on 3 June 1993 he alleged that two police officers arrested him in a bar in Chiasso and, after handcuffing him, accompanied him to their car in the street outside. They then bent him over the car and hit him around the head approximately seven times and carried out a body search during which his testicles were squeezed. He claimed he was then punched hard between the shoulder blades several times. He said he offered no resistance during the arrest.
He was then taken to a police station in Chiasso where he was questioned in Italian (a language he does not understand) and stated that during the questioning "The same policeman that arrested me came into the office to shout at me and hit me once again around the head. Another policeman forced me to remove all of my clothes. I was afraid that they would use physical force again; they continued to shout at me. The one policeman was pulling at my clothes and took my trouser belt off and removed my shoe laces. Now I stood in the middle of an office completely naked (for 10 minutes) with the door wide open and three policemen staring at me, one of the policemen put on a pair of rubber surgical gloves and instructed me to crouch into a position so that he could insert his fingers into my anus, I refused and they all became angry and started shouting and demonstrating to me the position which they wanted me to take, laughing, all were laughing, these police were having a good time. They pointed at my penis, making jokes, hurling abuse and insults at me, whilst I stood completely still and naked. Finally, when they finished laughing, one of the policemen threw my clothes onto the floor in front of me. I got dressed."
He was transferred to prison some hours later and in his letter claimed that during the night he started to experience severe pains in his chest, back and arms. He asked a prison guard if he could see a doctor but the request was refused and he claimed the guard kicked him. He was released on 30 December 1993. Medical reports indicated that since his release he had been experiencing recurrent pain in the area of his chest and right shoulder and had been receiving physiotherapy for an injury to the upper thoracic spine and his right shoulder girdle.

Looking through the DebConf video archives, it is obvious that some people only participate to be around other gays and trannies. Advancing LGBT desires has displaced the pursuit of technical excellence and innovation.
The fact this behaviour and odour displaces innovation needs to be emphasized: after healthy people have one bad experience of the group, they never come back.

Yes, they trick each other, as noted below. Tricking the police is just another game for the dirty men & Debian.

Why did Adrian von Bidder-Senn die on our wedding day? Was he tricked too?
Did they trick him to work for free or did they go further and trick him to get into the campervan?
Was Mark Shuttleworth offended by Adrian's comments about Ubuntu and did they trick some Swiss police to molest him?
He was only 32 years old when he died.
