Briefing for Representative Jim Jordan (OH-4th)<\/h1>\n

Critical Constitutional Matter for the House Oversight Committee<\/h2>\n

Prepared October 19, 2012<\/p>\n

American and Russian Opportunists Undermining U.S. Sovereignty and Corrupting U.S. Financial and Judicial Systems<\/h3>\n

Tom Clancy couldn\u2019t make this up.\u00a0 Sadly, the facts seem to point to a self-styled Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d of principals who are pressing an internationalist agenda that undermines U.S. sovereignty and corrupts U.S. financial and judicial systems. They are also exploiting the innovations and stolen intellectual property from Ohio-based Leader Technologies to achieve their goal.<\/p>\n

Facebook has\u00a0one billion<\/strong>\u00a0users\u2014three times the U.S. population. Their continued unscrupulousness cannot be anything other than an external shock to our financial system. Congress needs to act to prevent more damage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lawrence Summers<\/h3>\n

Lawrence Summers, who has held numerous senior positions in both the Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama White Houses, looms large in this Facebook \u201cecosystem,\u201d as do two of his prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, American Sheryl Sandberg and Russian Juri Milner. Summers recently popped up in Silicon Valley as a newly-appointed \u201cspecial adviser\u201d to Facebook director, Marc Andreessen; coincidentally while Andreessen was completing a dubious $1 billion Facebook acquisition of Instagram \u2014 a company with 13 employees and no revenue. Andreessen was (and continues to be) a director in both companies. Summers also accepted appointment to the board of a financial transactions company, Square \u2014 a curious development given Facebook\u2019s evident plan to make Facebook Credits an unregulated global currency. Summers\u2019 interconnections within the Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d are astounding, most notably Summers\u2019 20-year World Bank associations with (a) Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, (b) Facebook\u2019s second largest investor, Moscow-based Juri Milner and his companies Digital Sky Technologies and DST Global, and (c) Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to whom Summers provided $20 billion in U.S. taxpayer bailout funds while chief of President Obama\u2019s National Economic Council.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs & Morgan Stanley<\/h3>\n

Goldman Sachs is an equity partner in Digital Sky Technologies (aka DST Global) with Juri Milner and Russian oligarch Alisher Asmanov. This partnership appears to have been created prior to the $20 billion bailout of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley by the U.S. taxpayers in 2008. DST has invested up to $3 billion in Facebook. Goldman Sachs\u2019 involvement in DST raises the obvious question as to whether DST may have used TARP funds to invest in Facebook. Goldman Sachs obfuscated when asked by Senator Chuck Grassley on July 24, 2010 where the bailout funds went that Goldman distributed to its partners overseas. Who in this administration said that was permissible? Goldman Sachs also underwrote a multi-billion dollar private market in Facebook\u2019s insider stock sales while blocking American investors from participating.\u00a0Fortune<\/em>\u00a0said the DST funds had \u201cunknown origins.\u201d Did Juri Milner use TARP funds received from Goldman Sachs to invest his billions into Facebook stock?\u00a0 Milner was involved in the late 1990\u2019s in Bank Menatep which was caught laundering billions for the Russian mob as well as diverting $10 billion in World Bank and IMF funds.<\/p>\n

Economist Code of Ethics<\/h3>\n

A recent gathering of American economists were highly critical of economists who use their knowledge of global financial systems for personal gain. Where does Lawrence Summers fall along the ethical continuum involving \u201crecommend[ing] policy prescriptions that served their clients’ interests, at the expense of the economy as a whole?\u201dThis\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u00a0article continued \u201cA leading group of academic economists has adopted conflict-of-interest rules in response to criticism that the profession not only failed to predict the 2007-2008 financial crisis but may actually have helped create it.\u201d1<\/a><\/p>\n

Sheryl Sandberg; Juri Milner; Moscow State University; The Russian Academy of Sciences; DST (aka Digital Sky Technologies); Oligarch Alisher Asmanov<\/h3>\n

The three figures in the Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d\u2014Summers, Sandberg, Milner\u2014appear to be at the epicenter of an international scheme to\u00a0fleece<\/em>\u00a0the American public by using corrupt legal tactics, steal intellectual property required to implement the collusion, and establish an unregulated global money system. Remarkably, these three individuals played a central (and quite destructive) role in the early 1990\u2019s in the failed Russian voucher system that spawned the current oligarchy economy in the former Soviet Union. Now they have one billion current users of their core (stolen) technology and would have a significant impact on the U.S. and world economies.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0curriculum vitaes<\/em>\u00a0of these individuals follow, compiled from publicly available sources.<\/p>\n

Numerous Leader shareholders reside in Ohio\u2019s 4th Congressional District which Congressman Jim Jordan represents.<\/p>\n

Are the facts, opinions and circumstances herein merely a random string of unflattering coincidences, or are they evidence of a more nefarious agenda?<\/p>\n

In late 2002\u00a0Leader Technologies<\/strong>\u00a0filed for patents on its innovations, now called \u201csocial networking.\u201d7<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier, in early 2000, Leader’s patent attorney James P. Chandler, III began learning about Leader’s innovations after he had entered into multiple legal attorney-client engagement letters, promising to keep Leader’s innovations strictly confidential. Hindsight shows that as fast as Chandler was learning about Leader’s innovations, he was secretly feeding them to the IBM Eclipse Foundation, who was in turn feeding the inventions to a rogue C.I.A. operation who was in the process of weaponizing the Internet. Zuckerberg and Facebook were one of their creations. Zuckerberg was a C.I.A. stooge.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2003<\/div>\n
During 2003\u00a0Leader Technologies<\/strong>\u00a0prepared its innovations for market. New testimony reveals that\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>\u00a0and his Harvard roommates\u00a0Dustin Moskowitz<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Chris Hughes<\/strong>\u00a0learned about Leader technology in early 2003, stalled other students working on other \u201cfacebooks\u201d during the year,\u00a0received a copy of Leader\u2019s platform source code<\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on about Oct. 28, 2003, and used it to launch Facebook on Feb. 4, 2004.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From Oct. 23, 2003 to Sep. 15, 2004\u00a0The Harvard Crimson<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0carried 22 news articles about 19-year old sophomore\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>. Only\u00a0Bill Clinton<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0George Bush<\/strong>\u00a0received more mentions. Al Franken received 16, Google 14, Microsoft 10, Bill Gates and Pope John Paul II 3 each. By comparison, the two other \u201cfacebooks\u201d at Harvard, namely the Winklevoss Twins\u2019 Harvard Connection and Aaron Greenspan\u2019s houseSYSTEM, received 4 mentions each.\u00a0Larry Summers<\/strong>\u00a0was President of Harvard during this time,8<\/a>\u00a0creating the reasonable speculation that only he could have organized such inordinate coverage.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He has just recently started claiming that he was the first outside investor in Facebook and introduced Zuckerberg to\u00a0Peter Thiel<\/strong>, his fellow former PayPal executive. This account is markedly different from earlier accounts that credit Napster founder\u00a0Sean<\/strong>\u00a0Parker<\/strong>\u00a0with the introduction. The story morphs with each new telling. If Hoffman did coach Zuckerberg at Harvard, this contradicts Zuckerberg\u2019s testimony in\u00a0ConnectU<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0where he makes no mention of Hoffman.9<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This investment pumped Facebook\u2019s valuation to $50 billion.\u00a0Fortune<\/em>magazine described the source of\u00a0Alisher Asmanov<\/strong>\u2019s funds as \u201cnot clear.\u201d29<\/a>\u00a0Tellingly, Fenwick does not disclose such a \u201cspecial purpose vehicle\u201d intent to the SEC.\u00a0See<\/em>\u00a0Oct. 13-14 2008.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Goldman Sachs<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cslammed the door on U.S. clients\u201d (The Wall Street Journal<\/em>) from participating in the private offering of\u00a0Facebook<\/strong>\u00a0stock after receiving inquiries from the brokerage community about the 500 shareholder rule.30<\/a><\/p>\n

Longstanding SEC rules required\u00a0Goldman Sachs<\/strong>\u00a0to have counted each of these pooled investors separately. Otherwise, brokerage houses could create private markets for any client by first buying the client\u2019s stock,\u00a0 subdividing the stock themselves, then make their own private, unregulated stock exchange\u2014which is exactly what Goldman did. Consequently, by the rules other companies must follow,\u00a0Facebook<\/strong>became a\u00a0de facto,\u00a0<\/em>noncompliant public company in January of 2011.

Naked Corruption at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office; Inequitable Conduct<\/h3>\n
\n

The U.S. Patent Office Patent Trial and Appeal Boards<\/strong>\u00a0has just\u00a0overruled<\/em>\u00a0its\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0Examiners\u2019\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0reexamination rulings affirming Leader patent claims over the prior art in\u00a0U.S. Patent No. 7,139,761<\/strong>. They are attempting to have an Examiner invalidate ALL of Leader\u2019s 35 claims in an administrative decision (only 11 claims were asserted at trial). Such action by the Patent Office exhibits unconscionable favoritism and evident collusion. The action is a naked attempt to protect\u00a0Fenwick & West LLP<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook<\/strong>\u00a0from having their 700+ patent filings invalidated for \u201cinequitable conduct\u201d (fraud).48<\/a>\u00a0See<\/em>\u00a0Jul. 24, 2009.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

James W. Breyer\u2019s Self-fulfilling Prophesy<\/h3>\n

It also appears that the U.S. Federal Courts and U.S. Patent Office are equally supporting Breyer\u2019s prophesy. If inventors and private property are not protected, then American innovation is not worthy of investment.<\/p>\n

Or, is all this just \u201cinnocent\u201d and \u201ccoincidental?\u201d49<\/a><\/p>\n

In closing are cautionary words from\u00a0Professor Hy Berman<\/strong>, eminent American historian, and Professor Emeritus of History at The University of Minnesota, who served as a political adviser to former Vice President Hubert Humphrey and is a close friend of former Vice President Walter Mondale.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an American historian, I am particularly concerned by the implications of allowing powerful forces to violate intellectual property rights. Our economic and industrial development was made possible by inventors, innovators, scientist and engineers who developed the technology undergirding our national development. Through our patent and copyright protection system, these innovators were able to be rewarded for their efforts. If intellectual property theft by the powerful and well-connected is not stopped, future innovation is jeopardized.\u201d50<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abuse of the Public Trust<\/h3>\n

Opportunism means consciously taking selfish advantage of circumstances with little regard for what the consequences are for others. The opportunism described herein uses the special knowledge vested in \u201cFacebook ecosystem\u201d cronies whereby the economists and lawyers involved use their knowledge of the weaknesses or our public institutions for their own selfish and illegal gain.<\/p>\n

Will we permit such misconduct to continue, or will we act? Will we\u00a0act<\/em>\u00a0to right the injustices perpetrated in this matter against both the American and Russian peoples. Will we\u00a0act<\/em>\u00a0to stop this flagrant abuse of the public trust?<\/p>\n

America Is The Land Of Opportunity,
\nNot Opportunism<\/h1>\n

The Fleecing of Propriety<\/h3>\n

The evident agenda of the principal cronies in the Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d is to establish a means of international exchange via Facebook Credits that is free of U.S. legal and banking regulations. They appear willing to go to whatever lengths necessary, legal and illegal, to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n

If the Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d is allowed to succeed, they will do so having fleeced the American public\u00a0three times<\/em>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 2003-2004 theft of a validly issued U.S. Patent No. 7,139,761 invented by Leader Technologies, Inc., Columbus, Ohio;<\/li>\n
  2. 2008 fleece of the American public by the so-called \u201cEconomic stimulus\u201d whereby Summers, Breyer, Milner and their cronies received American taxpayer dollars in a \u201clegal\u201d transfer of wealth to their cronies; and<\/li>\n
  3. 2012 fleece of the American public by the Facebook IPO whereby, once again, Summers, Breyer, Milner and their cronies took American investor monies in another \u201clegal\u201d transfer of wealth to their cronies?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Facebook \u201cecosystem\u201d has learned that in aggression there is profit. Has the American public had enough? Are we going to let these people succeed with their opportunism, their abuse of due process, their theft of property, their abuse of power?<\/p>\n

    Finally, shall we let these unscrupulous people continue to press their agenda to establish a \u201cvirtual\u201d world currency called Facebook Credits or similar systems emerging from \u201cLondon, Bangalore and Beijing\u201d using stolen technology and funds fleeced from the American public?51<\/a><\/p>\n

    If Congress fails to act, a financial \u201carmy\u201d of more than\u00a0one billion\u00a0<\/strong>Facebook users (more than three times the U.S. population) who are poised to undermine our country. What damages will their external shock cause to our already weakly growing, battered economy?<\/p>\n
