T has been almost 43 years since Richard M. Stallman (“RMS”), “The Last MIT Hacker”, started GNU. He was about 30 at the time and he later quit his job to focus on GNU and avoid a conflict of interest.

I quit my job when I was 40 to focus on various endeavours and I have no regrets; if anything, there’s room to regret not doing so sooner. I could have done and written so much more (had I quit sooner), but at least I saved enough money to defend against lawfare.

Frugal lifestyles have earned credibility (resurgence) as the economies sank, energy became more scarce (or expensive), and political problems more profound. If you’re not seeking to become part of the solution you might be a passive component (or “cog”) of the problem.

The world needs more activists, not more capital.

t’s a “deja vu” day. It happened this past summer. It happened in 2020/21. Now again.

“Hello Roy Schestowitz,” told me Pest Control today regarding an item I discussed with them yesterday [2, 1]. “Please reply to the MCC Neighbourhood Compliance North Team who sent you this letter if you wish to make comments. You have blanked out the sender details.”

I replied: “They told me to contact you.”

At the moment they seem to be playing ping-pong regarding an important matter in our area. Several of us in the street are looking after wildlife and clarity is needed.

This ping-pong routine is beginning to remind me of what they did half a decade ago [1, 2, 3]. Both sides tell you to talk to “the other side” as if the goal is to waste your time.

Earlier this month: If You Glorify Violence, Then Some People Will Eventually Do It | The Second Antisemitic Attack in Manchester on October 2nd Came From Brett Wilson LLP (Almost at the Exact Same Time as the First) | Brett Wilson LLP Acting in a Way That We Deem Antisemitic, Disrespectful, and Highly Insensitive | Safety Precautions and Hate Crimes | Brett Wilson LLP Not Only Attacks People During Funerals But Also During Fasting on Holiest of Days (and the Latter is Intentional)

estimate, based on documents sent to me from Brett Wilson LLP, that they’re willing to spend about a million pounds (not dollars, pounds) lawyering up against me and against my wife. It’s obscene and we know they’re funded by mystery financiers. Probably rich people desperate to silence our Web sites.

This morning in Tux Machines I published: It’s Not Justice When One Side Denies the Other Side the Ability to Even Speak

And in Techrights I published: How Not to Silence Tux Machines (It’ll Only Backfire, Badly)

So at this point my wife and I have a million-pound (not dollars, pounds) “gun” pointing at us. Judges won’t overlook this. It’s lawfare, i.e. it’s misuse of a licence to bully people and censor sites. It would be a stain on the aura of the Magna Carta.

will say frankly, and upfront, that the accusations aren’t baseless. I firmly believe that all the evidence exists and the facts are on my side.

Highly irresponsible thugs did something really horrible 10 days ago. I won’t be able to comment about it fully until the case is over and other sites have said a lot more earlier today [1, 2]. This blog post will focus on more personal aspects.

10 days ago I wrote to the Court: “It is Yom Kippur today. We will respond to you tomorrow. This is important because we must also add to the bundle about 50 PDFs which will show the need for Adjoining of Case Numbers KB-2024-003529 and KB-2024-001270.”

This is an important message and the timing of the message was not of our own choosing. It was also minutes after a terror attack on a local synagogue.

It matters a lot because our legal advisor is a Jewish man who lived near that synagogue, which they (Brett Wilson LLP) are fully aware of; he went on BBC to say people painted swastikas on his own home. Aside from it, it’s Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year to him, so they basically sent threatening letters to both my wife and I on the equivalent of Xmas Eve at 4:30PM, then a very large number of pages (PDFs to both of us) on the equivalent of 10AM Xmas Day when people are literally fasting for over 24 hours (no water either, so health too is at risk), having always shown mean intent and already attempted to book the Hearing for the equivalent of Boxing Day; they attempted this a long time beforehand, back in January 2025.

How could they not know? I’ll write about this in the future.

And perhaps unintentionally (a subject to be covered another day or year), they also did this type of thing also during a funeral.

They’re not just cruel, they’re reckless and extremely insensitive. We’ll treat this accordingly and report what they did based on the hard evidence.

The SRA will be informed fully of what they did.

Then again, consider the fact they represent alleged sympathisers of Hamas. One client, who commented about October 7 2023 only several days after the attack (as if he wasn’t too sure what to say or whether it was a bad thing), made a public statement tacitly justifying acts of terrorism as a route towards peace.

It is my honest opinion that Brett Wilson LLP is a highly antisemitic firm. I’ve already seen plenty of circumstantial evidence of this. This firm also attracts antisemitic clients.

Today in BBC:

October 2 years ago:

oday I lodged my second-ever complaint with the local Council (Town Hall). I’ve lived in Manchester for over 25 years, so that makes an average of one complaint every ~13 years, which I don’t think is too much of a burden on them. I’m not some vexatious complainant.

My complaint deals with feeding of nature [1, 2]; it would be immoral to prohibit or forbid that, more so without disclosing any relevant laws or selectively enforcing alleged rules.

I ticked the following boxes in my complaint:

• “has done something that compromises or is likely to compromise the impartiality of those who work for, or on behalf of, the Council”
• “has prevented another person from gaining access to information to which that person is entitled to by law”
• “has conducted themselves in a manner that could reasonably be regarded as bringing their office or the Council into disrepute”

A short or preliminary (can be expanded upon later, elaboration upon demand) of the complaint:

I am hereby filing a complaint, without any undue discrimination or ill intent. It is a short complaint the premise of which is, the local authorities are issuing contradictory instructions regarding the feeding of birds in open spaces with grass and trees, as well as providing plenty of fresh water during heatwaves in summertime. Not only us but also neighbours provide food to the birds, which we acquire at personal expense and distribute responsibly so as to avoid remnants being left on the ground. We are receiving contradictory instructions and and those are not based on any law, just ad hoc statements like “please stop feeding pigeons immediately.” (28/08/2025)

Based on official Web sites of the Council and the national authorities alike, there is no legal basis upon which to demand this. Public servants ought not be used for harassment by proxy, more so is the complaints have been doing drugs in their back yard for over a decade (and we never complained). While the issue withstands assessment and scrutiny we shall not refrain from doing the moral thing, which is to feed nature responsibly, just as neighbours do. I already discussed the matter in great length over the telephone on 28/08/2025 (call answered by [redacted]).

To avoid retaliation I prefer for the matter not to be disclosed at this time. The submission reference is #6025138, but I will not disclose any names.

N the final weeks of the Biden Administration ceasefire was secured in Gaza and Lebanon.

In prior years ceasefire calls or attempts were also made in Ukraine.

The corporate media likes to frame any “ceasefire” news as some sort of Trump thing when as a matter of historical facts he only ever helped Russia on several levels.

Today’s media really sucks. It tries to change history, maybe for clickbait.
