1 STATE-SPONSORED CONFISCATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY BY THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE UNMISTAKABLE COLLUSION AMONG THE EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES WITH WALL STREET AND SILICON VALLEY IN LEADER V. FACEBOOK ELLICIT COMPARISONS TO HITLER (Sep. 9, 2013) A coordinated effort to confiscate the social networking invention of Columbus, Ohio-based innovator Leader Technologies (Leader) by the Obama administration is now overwhelming. IS THIS RECENT HISTORY ALREADY REPEATING ITSELF IN THE SECRET AND UNITELLIGBLE DIGITAL WORLD? Former IBM executive and economist, Alan Stern, said, I have been closely following Leader v. Facebook. We need to thank Leader s chairman, Michael McKibben, for his invention Fig. 1 Uncritical Users of Facebook? Hitler s Brownshirts ca Is this type of unthinking loyalty a reflect ion of the unthinking loyalty of Facebook users, despite proof that they are using Leader Technologies private property that Facebook has stolen? and contribution to large-scale collaboration capabilities. We also need to stop rewarding the confiscation of Leader s property by Facebook. Stern was one of IBM s chief architects of IBM s client-server strategy. Stern continued, My grandparents were murdered in Nazi concentration camps at Dachau and Auschwitz after their property and business had been confiscated. I pledged in their memory never to be silent in the face of similar moral obscenities. -1-

2 In my mind, Facebook conduct the digital arena rivals Hitler s obscenities, Stern said. Unthinking Facebook users are like Hitler s Brownshirts who, despite Hitler s abuses, pledged unswerving loyalty to the Fuehrer without realizing that their conduct only emboldened his tyrannical behavior. Despite Facebook having been proved guilty on 11 of 11 counts on infringing Leader s patent, the federal courts and White House have stonewalled justice and handed the decision to Facebook despite the overwhelming evidence against them. This conduct has insured the Obama White House and Facebook continue to have maintain contact with Facebook s billion users (of the technology they stole from Leader Technologies). Fig. 2 Hitler s troops occupied the Sudetenland on October 10, The world s response was appeasement. Facebook s drive to overrun those from whom they have stolen is analogous. Stern likened Facebook s conduct to Hitler s overwhelming use of force in the takeover of the Sudetenland on Oct. 10, 1938, and Kristallnacht, on Nov. 9, During Kristallnacht ( Night of the Broken Glass ) Hitler attacked and confiscated Jewish private property and Fig. 3 The New York Times, Nov. 11, 1938 reporting on Kristallnacht. Jewish property was destroyed and confiscated by the state. The Obama administrations reliance on Facebook amounts to similar state-sponsored confiscation. -2-

3 murdered almost 100 souls in a coordinated 24-hour assault. The world s reaction to Hitler rolling over the Sudetenland was muted. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler with good faith gestures, to no avail. The lesson of history is that tyrants and thieves cannot be appeased. They can only be stopped. It took the world over six years to bring down Hitler. On Apr. 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide, just five days after the link-up of American and Soviet forces at Torgau. Leader Technologies chairman and lead inventor, Michael McKibben, said, my father-in-law, Jerry Hoovler, was a 20-year old foot soldier in the 69 th Infantry Division that linked-up with Soviet forces that day. McKibben said, anyone can see from the facts that Leader s shareholders are the victims of state-sponsored property confiscation. Key members of this Administration and their friends are benefiting from our social networking invention, while our shareholders go uncompensated for the risks that they took to support our development. McKibben pointed out numerous telltale signs of this overwhelming Hitler-like show of force by the Obama state, including: President Obama (with Michelle and various PACs) has over 47 million likes dramatically more than any other politician on the planet. Obama s State Department recently paid Facebook $630,000 for more likes. Obama s Patent Office has almost 15,000 likes even encouraging employee signups before the Leader v. Facebook trial, then suspiciously ordering a 3 rd reexamination to try and kill the patent off. Most U.S. Senators and Congresspersons now feel forced to rely on Facebook to counter Obama s overwhelming advantage in reaching LOFO voters (low-information voters). Is this Neville Chamberlain-like appeasement? Obama s campaign contributors read like a Who s Who of Facebook insiders. -3-

4 Obama s insiders include numerous Russian oligarchs with close ties to the Kremlin and Wall Street. These Obama-Facebook insiders fleeced the American public multiple times o first in the 2008 bailout, o second in the green energy stimulus, and o third in the Facebook IPO, o not counting the 10x leveraging of those funds via overseas banks to generate factors more payola. THREE UNINTELLEIGBLE WORLDS JOINED FORCES TO FOOL THE PUBLIC: (1) LAWYERS, (2) PROGRAMMERS, AND (3) FINANCE: Obama-Facebook s intertwined associations with Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and a gaggle of corrupt Washington law firms Stern emphasized, No one can resist an overwhelming use of force by a state authority, like Leader Technologies has experienced. When every federal judge in this case had close relationships with and held stock in Facebook and gets away with it, that is a gross abuse of power. Hitler s confiscation of my grandparent s property was illegal according to German law. The German courts turned a blind eye because they were collaborating with a tyrant. The American court s confiscation of Leader s valuable patent property is equally illegal. Stern then asked, Does this make President Obama a tyrant? Answering his own question, Stern said, If he benefits personally from this abuse without stopping it, then yes. McKibben said, My father-in-law was a part of the American 69 th Infantry Division that broke Hitler s back on Apr. 25, 2013 known as The Meeting at the Elbe. This event was symbolic of a world that said to Hitler and his cronies that abuse of property and privacy cannot be tolerated in civilized society. Ironically, the Cold War began within days of The Meeting at the Elbe. But for a brief moment in the streets of Torgau, the world had raised the bar. To this day -4-

5 Soviet and American veterans meet in Torgau to remember this turning point in world history. Like the Founders of America who risked their lives and fortunes to create America, my father, my father-in-law and more recently my nephew in Iraq placed themselves in harm s way to protect constitutional law from such tyrants, McKibben said. I am struck by President John Adams admonition that in a democracy, property and privacy must be revered as sacred as the laws of God. Adams observed that tyranny and anarchy start when these principles are violated. The President, Patent Office, Facebook and Facebook s crony-network are benefiting from our social networking invention. None of them has lifted a finger to protect us. In fact, they ve done the opposite. They have collaborated with Facebook s law firms and financiers to line their pockets, press their agendas, and ensure that our shareholders never see justice. No company can fight state-sponsored confiscation of property. At least with imminent domain, there is compensation. However, in the case of Leader and its shareholders, there is only utter silence from those we have elected to protect the U.S. Constitution and private property. McKibben concluded, The evidence that Leader Technologies has been cheated by this administration and a compliant judiciary is clear. What has happened to us is not civilized. We can only hope that once the American people and Congress learn of this injustice, the back of this collusion will be broken, just like Hitler s on Apr. 25, 1945 in the Meeting at the Elbe. Expressing bipartisan support for Leader Technologies, University of Minnesota history professor emeritus Hy Berman, said If intellectual property theft by the powerful and well-connected is not stopped, future innovation is jeopardized. Professor Berman was former political adviser to Vice President Hubert Humphrey. -5-
