Soliciting Ideas On Legal Rationale for "Fraud on The People" by Obama, Harvard Law, his attorneys, law firms, colluding judges & judicial employees

L/R Jim Jordan (OH), Jason Chaffetz (UT)

Laywers & Judges can Lie, Legally

No wonder Hillary lies about her email server and laughs. Government officials in lawsuits and tribunals are allowed to lie—even though their oaths of

ethics say the opposite. Congress allowed across-the-board lying with revisions of 18 USC 1001(b) on Oct. 11, 1996—just weeks after Congress passed James P. Chandler's Economic Espionage Act of 1996. This is yet more koinky dink timing for the IBM / Chandler / Eclipse Foundation / NSA / Facebook cartel—a year after IBM's Eurotech Ltd/SpA embedded systems front company with Intel, Microsoft, Cisco and Wind River was formed—"The Internet of Things."

Legal Ethics Farce on the People:

18 USC 1001(b) (revised Oct. 11, 1996)	Attorney Rules of Prof. Conduct 3.3 a(1)	Federal Rules of Evidence 410	Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges, Canon 3
Fraud laws do not apply to judicial proceedings	"A lawyer shall not knowingly . . . make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal"	False statements under oath are admissible	A judge shall be fair and impartial
Click here for legislative history of this Fraud on The People

Representative Jason Chaffetz, Chairman, House Oversight Committee, just revealed on Jun. 2, 2015 that on Apr. 15, 2009, just two weeks after Eric H. Holder's, Jr.'s appointment as Attorney General (a Chandler protégé), the Obama (another Chandler protégé) White House sent a memo that directed all FOIA requests and Congressional inquiries and subpoenas to be reviewed first by White House counsel. White House counsel was controlled by two Facebook law firms then: (1) Donald K. Stern, Cooley Godward LLP (Leader v. Facebook), and (2) husband and wife Robert F. & Anita B. (Dunn) Bauer, Perkins Coie LLP, Obama's personal counsel. This memo signals clear intent by the White House to control a big hidden agenda. Such hidden agendas by public officials constitute fraud. They were clearly hiding their plans to "fundamentally transform" cyberspace through the IBM / Chandler / Eclipse Foundaiton / Facebook / NSA / Wall Street Cartel. Such fraud is "Fraud on The People." In law, fraud voids judgments and decisions. "Fraud on The People" may consistute the vehicle by which Congress can correct the damage done by the endemic corruption of the Obama Administraiton. We solicit your thoughts in the comments on legal precedent for a charge of "Fraud on The People."

Update, Jun. 05, 2015:
FISA Court is a cronyistic fraud: result of judge "self-policing"

Judge Jose A. Cabranes is a FISA judge who makes his fortune on mutual fund insider dealings with spy-state apologists like IBM, Facebook & JPMorgan.

Magically, Cabranes also popped up in the 2nd Circuit panel that denied Paul Ceglia's appeal against Zuckerberg. Ceglia just filed another appeal proving judge Zuck-love. Just denied. More Zuck-love.

Former New York Superior Court Judge Andrew P. Napolitano just published an article in The Washington Times on May 27, 2015 in which he exposed the secret FISA Court as nothing but fraudulent spy state apologists. This site has helped expose the identities of the FISA court's task masters: Chandler, IBM, Eclipse Foundation, Holder, Kappos, JPMorgan, Breyer (Soros), Sandberg, Summers, Facebook, NSA.

FISA Court Score:
Police State: 34,000
Citizens: 12

Napolitano stated: "In the 14 years of all this spying, the NSA has made more than 34,000 requests of the FISA court; only 12 have been denied." This court was supposed to provide constitutional checks and balances against NSA abuses. However, it is merely a rubber stamp for a secretive group of bankers, lawyers and judges who mock the Constitution behind a national security smoke screen. Their vices are as old as Cain and Able: Money, greed and power.

What other profession is allowed to choose the foxes guarding the hen house? These are the people who pretend to be a noble group who live above the fray. The facts show they are lining their pockets at the citizen's expense; hence they become wealthy after becoming a judge. The judges have forgotten they work for The People . . . and The People are letting them get away with it.

Disinformation from spy-state apologists:
No.	Lie:	Truth:
A.	America is less safe after turning off NSA bulk metadata collection.	FBI says not a single terrorist was caught using NSA bulk metadata collected on American citizens under the Patriot Act, despite billions of dollars invested. Who benefited since the American public did not? Follow the purveyors radiating out from law emeritus Professor James P. Chandler. He is a central figure as a primary security adviser to NSA / IBM / Eclipse Foundation / Holder and his Harvard Law/Stanford cronies. His, Holder's and IBM / David J. Kappos' historical relationships have been stripped from the research web, according to major university law library researchers. See also The Washington Post.
B.	FISA Court protects citizens from NSA abuse.	FISA Court approved all but 12 of NSA’s 34,000 NSA request—that’s the definition of a “rubber stamp” kangaroo court. Chandler is a long time adviser to FISA Court on economic espionage and trade secrets, having authored the Economic Espionage Act of 1996. NSA, IBM, FISA Court, trade secrets, economic espionage, patent theft, Kappos, Patent Office. See a pattern?
C.	NSA does not collect content.	To the spy-state cartel, relationship metadata is the content!
D.	Bulk metadata helps connect the terrorist dots.	See A.

Not effective. No oversight. Cost billions. So why are so many government officials frothing at the mouth over Senator Rand Paul's rightful protection of the Fourth Amendment? Could they be on the spy-state cartel's mutual fund gravy train? Where did that metadata content really go? We believe to the spy-state cartel led by IBM and The Eclipse Foundation with Facebook and the rest of the "social" world in tow as their dutiful data collection minions—Obama's mechanism for "fundamental transformation."

Fig.1—Benjamin Franklin signed a solemn pledge two hundred and thirty six years ago. The final sentence of the Declaration of Independence is a promise among the Signers, to “mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor.” Many of the Signers and their fellow patriots did, in fact, sacrifice their lives and fortunes in service to our country.

Are the scoundrels who are attempting to hijack America by electronic stealth with their totalitarian liberal mentality worthy of the Signers? Is it moral to try and get away with a deception just because you can?

ORIGINAL POST

(May 29, 2015)—Americans have a Fourth Amendment right to privacy against illegal search and seizure by the government. Sadly, IBM has returned to the scene of its WWII crimes with Adolf Hitler by underpinning the NSA's bulk data collection scheme and feeding that data to its Silicon Valley "Big Data" cronies. See previous post.

Since the early 2000’s, proponents of an electronic spy state have been at work. They discovered an invention that would give them what they wanted, if they could control its continued development and distribution. In the process, they would build in permanent backdoor keys for themselves. That innovation was Leader Technologies’ social networking invention.

Ohio innovator, Leader Technologies, walked into a Washington, D.C. trap disguised as legal advise

In 2000, Leader was introduced to George Washington Law professor, James P. Chandler. Chandler was the NSA’s chief intellectual property counsel. Chandler also advised IBM, Congress, the Federal Judiciary and the White House on information security. This introduction was dumb luck for Chandler, who was actively seeking a new Internet platform with IBM to achieve his vision of bulk surveillance. He fooled Leader into thinking they were in capable legal hands.

But capable of what? As it turns out, theft—the exact opposite of his "I'll protect your trade secrets" sign on the door.

Totalitarian Liberal Logic

Chandler’s totalitarian liberal logic was that Americans are not capable of securing themselves, so he and his friends will do it for us. And of course, it was only fair that they take good care of themselves. This is a quote from Chandler's Aug. 30, 2002 handwritten notes recently disclosed by a whistleblower (See Fig. 2):

Fig. 2—On Aug. 30, 20002, whistleblower information proved that James P. Chandler was colluding with IBM (David J. Kappos, chief intellectual property counsel) and the U.S. Patent Office were colluding in the formation of The Eclipse, Foundation. Doug Duncan was Montgomery County, Maryland executive (mayor). Kappos was appointed director of the Patent Office by President Obama in a rare recess appointment on Aug. 07, 2009. Soon after, Kappos converted all of his IBM stock to Vanguard stock. IBM's chief financial officer, Mark Loughridge, is now a director of Vanguard. Loughridge wrote the $40 million "donation" check at IBM to fund The Eclipse Foundation on Nov. 29, 2001. Chandler's whistleblown notes experts here show he is starting to spend the Eclipse cash and recruit IBM partners without disclosing his conflicts of interest to his other client, Leader Technologies, Inc.

TRANSCRIPT of Kelley Clements' stenographer's notes above:

---

We have no reluctance to share info. with the County - DO NOT GO PUBLIC w/ this

---

We do valuable work for our country and it is important for that to be understood and acknowledged
-Doug Duncan is aware [Montgomery County, Maryland, Executive]

---

- what we need
- what we don't need

Business Model - different from current business model
-consider some approach to partnering w/ IBM

Graphic: Chandler notes.

"We do valuable work for our country and it is important for that to be understood and acknowledged."—James P. Chandler, III

He appears to have reasoned that taking care of himself and his friends along the way, well, that was only fair.

JPMorgan-Wall Street

One thing led to another. Chandler's federal judge friends complained about their pay and how unappreciated they were. So, with JPMorgan’s help, Chandler and JPMorgan concocted a way to make judges wealthy through changes to mutual fund disclosures that Chandler used his Washington law influence to push through unsuspecting judicial conferences. Asking those judges to then rule his way on occasion, well, that was only a fair.

IBM

Chandler's client, IBM, was still licking its wounds at being eclipsed by Silicon Valley. So Chandler decided IBM would drive this bus and make Silicon Valley ride. Well, that was only fair.

Patent Office

Chandler's client, the Patent Office, would be instructed to cooperate, on occasion, whenever a pesky inventor whose technology they would steal, made a claim against this hegemony. To insure this, Chandler arranged with his buddy Obama to have his buddy at IBM, David J. Kappos, appointed Patent Office director in a rare recess appointment. Kappos's cooperation in killing patents Eclipse and IBM wanted to steal, well, that was only fair.

Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley's top thieves venture capitalists played along with Wall Street to create a stream of IPO spin offs off of Leader Technologies' social networking invention. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and a slew of offshore money launderers constructed this Ponzi scheme on a heretofore unseen scale. The fact that all these conspirators pocketed fortunes themselves, well, that was only fair.

Mutual funds like Fidelity, Vanguard and T. Rowe Price were invited into the fold to create special mutual fund bribery vehicles to garner the dutiful cooperation of judges, bureaucrats and politicians. (Tip: "Invest in XYZ mutual fund and ask no questions." Wink. Wink. Don't worry, the "safe harbor concept" we slid through the Judicial Conference in 2001 will be your excuse if this scheme is exposed.)

NSA

Chandler's client, the NSA, wanted all the backdoor keys, which Chandler arranged with IBM's full support. After all, IBM had prior experience with Adolf Hitler and state surveillance. To reward the people and companies who helped the NSA achieve this goal, well, that was only fair.

(Well, aren't these people just a right fair bunch? Never mind they severely damaged propriety and the world economy in the process.)

IBM: Once a monopoly, always a monopoly. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." See previous post, IBM SOLD OUT AMERICA IN SALE OF PC GROUP TO CHINESE IN 2004.

How did Chandler unify all these disparate elements into a common cause?

U.S. Constitution eclipsed by Eclipse

Voile! On Nov. 29, 2012, IBM / Kappos and Chandler formed a fake foundation named "The Eclipse Foundation." IBM "donated" a mere $40 million (Leader Technologies had already invested $10 million and 145,000 man-hours). The term “Eclipse” is Freudian, as in block the U.S. Constitution in the process of building this secret spy engine.

Obama: Fundamentally Transforming America

Obama (and his cronies in banking, tech and the judiciary) would have had this Eclipse agenda in his head when he promised in 2008 to "fundamentally transform(ing) the United States of America."

With The Eclipse Foundation, these disparate players each received what they wanted. The NSA constructed backdoor keys; IBM drove global architecture; Silicon Valley cooked up IPOs with the help of a phalanx of crooked law firms; the Government gave "big data" metadata to feed crony Silicon Valley companies; Wall Street and mutual funds created "deal flow;" judges, bureaucrats and politicians grew rich by riding along and occasionally clear regulatory problems. Facebook took a piece, so did Instagram, Linked In, athenahealth, Castlight Health, Baidu, Mail.ru, Groupon Zynga, Microsoft, wikis, blogs, yada yada yada.

Ben Franklin scolded Chandler’s spy-state mentality centuries ago:

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” —Ben Franklin (1759)

Ask your Senators to vote to stop NSA bulk data collection and related authorizations

No one in their right mind is against Constitutional law enforcement practices. Equally, no freedom-loving American should tolerate unConstitutional practices where personal information is stored in bulk, without a warrant that is approved by an impartial judge who is not an insider in the cronyistic secret spy state FISA court.

Totalitarian regimes collect bulk data. The American Republic should not.

The U.S. Senate meets in a special Sunday session to vote on whether or not to extend The Patriot Act and its bulk data collection program

Click here to find contact information for your Senator.

Please ask your Senators to vote to stop the un-American NSA bulk data collection program. The spy state apologists argue that no one can prove that the data has been abused. This is a self-serving argument since it is all secret. In any event, the very fact that it is being collected at all is an abuse of the U.S. Constitution. Senator Rand Paul rightly says: "We don't have to choose between fighting terrorism and obeying the Constitution."

Only police states spy indiscriminately

Only police states spy indiscriminately on its citizens to gain advantage. The NSA's spy-state apologists in Silicon Valley and Wall Street are using this metadata to manipulate public opinion, pad their coffers and influence votes. Count on it. America is being fundamentally transformed . . . in secret.

* * *

Fig. 4—Do the IBM/Eclipse/NSA/Facebook Cartel and the Obama administration plan to seize control of the Internet before this administration leaves office? Seems they do. Blanket NSA metadata collection facilitates that goal since it allows IBM, Eclipse members, including Facebook, to know everyone's connections and networks, intimately. Once they know your networks they can control you. The agenda here is utterly immoral, yet packaged in a floury national security or protect-our-kids rationale.

IBM SOLD OUT AMERICA IN SALE OF PC GROUP TO CHINESE IN 2004

Mark Loughridge, IBM CFO, arranged $10 billion JPMorgan slush fund, Goldman Sachs Ponzi-like financing for Chinese while cronies financed Facebook for NSA snooping without Congressional oversight

Contributing Writers | Opinion | AMERICANS FOR INNOVATION  | May 14, 2015, Updated Nov 25 | PDF

Note to new readers (May 22): We include this news flash about Judge Sue L. Robinson in this coverage of the Leader v. Facebook judicial corruption and NSA spying scandals because JPMorgan is Facebook's and IBM's underwriter funding much of this corruption. JPMorgan also benefits from the technology stolen by IBM, Facebook and Eclipse. Bottom line: They say their technology is Open Source, but that is a Big Lie. They stand tall on the backs of real inventors in America and Europe.

May 18, 2014 News Update! Judge Sue L. Robinson in Arunachalam v. JPMorgan (see previous post) recused herself from the case on May 15, 2014 following Dr. Arunachalam's motion to disqualify for conflicts of interest. This is great news for justice, it will likely unwind all judgments in the case for judge bias, and force a rehearing of the whole case. Shockingly, Robinson sent the case back to Judge Richard J. Andrews, whose now admitted relationships to and admitted holdings in JPMorgan are legion. The Delaware District Court appears to be imploding from self-inflicted wounds. The crooked Leader v. Facebook Judge Leonard P. Stark is now the chief judge in this district. Stark holds substantial Facebook and JPMorgan stock. JPMorgan is one of Facebook's and IBM's lead underwriters.

Today, on May 18, 2015, Dr. Arunachalam filed a Motion to Void the Judgments Ab Initio (from the beginning). She lays bare the "corruption and maliciousness" of the judges and their JPMorgan handlers. The Delaware Court is knee deep in a quick sand of corruption created by their collusion with JPMorgan, IBM and the Facebook Cartel.

Full Video: U.S. Senator Chris Coons, C-SPAN.

May 20, 2015 Update: The two faces of Judge Susan L. Robinson: On Sep. 13, 2013, Judge Robinson told the Senate Judiciary Committee that "whether you're dealing with chemical patents or software patents, clearly the mechanics of a patent case are complex and burdensome..." Yet on Apr. 08, 2014, just seven months later, Judge Robinson replaced the presiding Judge Richard G. Andrews in Pi-Net (Arunachalam) v. JPMorgan, cv-282-RGA-SLR. Just a week later on Apr. 15, 2014, Robinson held the all-important Markman Hearing. In that hearing, she failed to disqualify a fraudulent JPMorgan technical expert, then ruled against Dr. Arunachalam's "complex" patent on May 14, 2014, a month later. Essentially, the American taxpayer is paying these judges to play patty cakes with monopolistic, deep-pocket litigants like IBM and JPMorgan who dump piles of procedural "motion practice" on these courts, then these judges whine about being overworked when they get caught colluding.

ORIGINAL POST

(May 14, 2015)—The world went to hell in 2004, or so it seems. If America allows the Benedict Arnolds at IBM, Eclipse Foundation (IBM incognito), JPMorgan, NSA, Goldman Sachs and Facebook, identified below, to succeed, then we believe China will control the future of the Internet, tech and finance. It is not too late to stop them, but time is running out.

On Dec. 8, 2004, IBM’s chief financial officer, Mark Loughridge, shocked the IBM world with his holiday-time announcement of the sale of IBM’s storied PC Group to the Chinese company, Lenovo.

IBM’s breach of fiduciary duty ushered in a sellout of America

The devil was in the details that Loughridge failed to disclose. It appears that IBM’s directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties by not warning shareholders and the public about the hidden agendas large enough to drive a Mack truck through.

IBM failed to disclose that:

1. Stolen technology: IBM stole Columbus, Ohio innovator Leader Technologies’ social networking invention via The Eclipse Foundation that started on Nov. 29, 2001.
   
   
2. Counsel conflicts: IBM relied on the advice of intellectual property law adviser, Professor James P. Chandler, who was also Leader’s patent counsel. Chandler was also the author of the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, the Federal Trade Secrets Act, member of President Clinton's National Infrastructure Assurance Council and adviser to the Justice Department, FBI, NSA, CIA, White House and Congress.

Uncommonly unified competitors

This uncommonly unified Benedict Arnold activity could not have happened without Columbus, Ohio innovator Leader Technologies’ important social networking invention—which they all wanted for free from IBM’s Eclipse Foundation. In unison, the members of Eclipse turned a blind eye to questions of authorship of the invention to which they would receive enormous benefit. They chose instead to swallow hook, line and sinker.

Bottom line: IBM's Eclipse Foundation sold out America and American inventors in just 12 months.

The national security smoke screen

“National security!” has become the excuse for this mobster thievery and obfuscation of discovery and FOIA requests. Zuckerberg's 28 Harvard hard drives have been protected by numerous federal judges on this cartel's payroll.

America's Founders feared the two-party system and the interference of banks and corporations. So did Abraham Lincoln (1863):

"The banking powers are more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy."

We must now add supranational law firms to this list of despotic corporations.

3. Bogus open source claims: Via The Eclipse Foundation, IBM promoted the lie that Leader Technologies’ invention was Open Source and free for anyone to use. It was not. It was privately owned, proprietary software. Yet IBM induced most tech companies to participate in the theft.
   
   
4. Conspiracy and racketeering: Secret plans were executed to privately control intelligence, judiciary and securities regulation. Key players were IBM’s chief counsel, David J. Kappos with Chandler, Eric H. Holder, Jr., NSA, Barack H. Obama, Eurotech, The White Oak Group, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Larry H. Summers, Sheryl K. Sandberg, Juri Milner, Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, James W. Breyer, National Venture Capital Association, Fidelity, Vanguard, Latham & Watkins, Fenwick & West, Orrick Herrington, Cooley Godward, Weil Gotshal, Federal Circuit and Gibson Dunn.
   
   
5. Other stolen contracts & technology: IBM willfully induced the misappropriation of multiple other intellectual properties and contractual claims important to social platforms (e.g., Dr. Lakshmi Arunachalam, Johannes Van der Meer, Paul Ceglia).
   
   
6. Misappropriation of funds: JPMorgan’s $10 billion line of credit was used to promote The Eclipse Foundation scam. JPMorgan is also a Facebook underwriter.
   
   
7. Ponzi-like scheming with Lenovo’s banker: Goldman Sachs, another Facebook underwriter, arranged Lenovo’s debt financing of the IBM PC Group—no arm's length relationships.
   
   
8. NSA backdoors breach reps and warranties: IBM provided intelligence snooping backdoors for the NSA and CIA, irrespective of laws broken.
   
   
9. Embedded systems snooping: IBM’s embedded systems strategy was aimed at building permanent NSA backdoors through companies like Eurotech SpA and Ltd., even though U.S. laws prohibit such intrusion.
   
   
10. Contempt of Congress: IBM, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs participated in a plan to privately fund American intelligence without Congressional oversight.
    
    
11. Anti-trust Conspiracy: IBM used its monopolistic market position to steal innovations from Leader Technologies, Inc., a small Ohio business, and others.
    
    
12. Judicial collusion: IBM, via its inside and outside counsel, induced members of the federal judiciary to violate their ethical Code of Conduct by holding stocks in IBM and cronies without proper conflict of interests disclosure, and by manipulating the impartiality of courts.
    
    
13. Privately-funded intelligence agencies: IBM’s secret collusion with Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, James W. Breyer, Accel Partners LLP, In-Q-Tel (C.I.A.'s "private" venture capital company), Facebook and the NSA to construct privately-funded, offshore “dark profiles” on American citizens—out of reach of oversight by Congress.

Table 1: IBM's sellout of America to the Chinese—2004.

Backstory

Now that we have summarized the 2004 smoking gun, we will back up and provide evidence sufficient to convince any reasonable person that America was sold out by people we trusted.

In the late 1990’s, Columbus, Ohio software innovator Leader Technologies, Inc. was referred to James P. Chandler,III, George Washington Law professor emeritus.

Chandler had a private intellectual property law practice in Washington, D.C.  His clients were a Who’s Who, including the White House, IBM, NSA, FBI, CIA, Congress, the Judiciary and the U.S. Department of Justice. Chandler had authored the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 and the Federal Trade Secrets Act.

Chandler advised David J. Kappos, then IBM’s chief intellectual property counsel, Mark Loughridge, IBM’s chief financial officer, and Eric H. Holder, Jr., then Assistant Attorney General.

No conflicts disclosed

According to Leader, Chandler agreed to represent Leader and did not disclose any conflicts of interest. Disclosure of conflicts of interest is an integral part of the Rules of Professional Conduct for lawyers and Code of Conduct for judges and judicial employees: “a lawyer should further the public's understanding of and confidence in the rule of law and the justice system because legal institutions in a constitutional democracy depend on popular participation and support to maintain their authority” and “a judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities.”

Confirmed by Leader prior to publication, not a single person identified in this article has ever disclosed even a single conflict identified here. The silence is deafening.

IBM-biased legal advice

Hindsight is 20-20. After studying Leader’s Internet software invention in 2000, Chandler gave Leader a piece of horrible legal advice. This patent law professor advised that Leader should take another two years and “reduce the invention to practice” before he would file the patents. He also told Leader they had “at least 60 patentable inventions.”

(It turns out that Chandler's patent estimate was a low-ball. Fenwick & West LLP, another Leader attorney recommended by Chandler, has now filed hundreds of social networking patents for Facebook without seeking a waiver of conflicts from Leader either. This doesn't count the thousands of patents that IBM has filed off the same Leader invention.)

Hindsight shows that Chandler fed Leader’s ground-breaking software invention to IBM and IBM’s cronies. These Chandler cronies supported Chandler’s vision for national security and a stealth way to quietly reward judges with insider financial tips in exchange for crooked decisions. However, Chandler’s vision required the theft of Leader’s intellectual property to accomplish these intertwined goals.

By mid-2002, Chandler had extracted over $500,000 in legal fees from Leader. As mentioned above, he also encouraged Leader to hire Silicon Valley law firm, Fenwick & West LLP. The two firms then waited for Leader to do the hard work to engineer its invention.

That opportunity came on Jun. 6, 2002.

When unscrupulous attorneys want their hands in your knickers, they disguise their schemes with high-sounding legal sophistry

Chandler wrote himself into the source code custody clause of a “Smart Camera” research contract with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that he brought to Leader. Leader thought the opportunity was a big break, but it was a Chandler double-cross. As a part of that contract, Chandler received a copy of Leader’s full source code. Fenwick received a copy as well. Fenwick’s clients included Facebook’s first venture capitalists, James W. Breyer and Accel Partners LLP.

Leader “University Initiative” planned in early 2001

Leader’s inventor, Michael McKibben, had a son attending Harvard as an undergraduate. In early 2001, McKibben developed a “University Initiative” to involve IBM and Harvard—both Chandler relationships—in implementing Leader’s social networking invention.

IBM launched Eclipse in late 2001

Unknown to Leader, on Nov. 29, 2001, IBM “donated” $40 million (from CFO Mark Loughridge) to start The Eclipse Foundation to offer “open source” software (free of licenses, fees and royalties). See also IBM Annual Report, p. 21.

Chandler’s IBM cronies, David J. Kappos and Mark Loughridge, provided the perfect cover for Chandler to feed Leader’s invention to IBM out his back door without detection. Tellingly, Eclipse board minutes in Dec. 4, 2002 stated that the original source code platform for Eclipse came from “a single company” (never identified by name). But then by Dec. 8, 2004, just two years later, these lawyers stated disingenuously that they were “not unexpectedly” “unable to locate” the original contributor. All signs point to Leader Technologies as the contributor, via its ne'er-do-well attorneys Chandler and Fenwick.

Feb. 4, 2004 —Leader’s University Initiative renamed “Facebook”

Like a phoenix, Facebook came out of nowhere and launched on Feb. 4, 2004 at Harvard with a plan that mimicked Leader’ University Initiative written 18 months earlier. Hindsight shows that Harvard alums, James W. Breyer, and Accel Partners LLP funded the launch, supported by Harvard’s president, Larry Summers.

Mark Zuckerberg claims to have done it all by himself as a sophomore in “one to two weeks” while drinking, chasing girls and studying for mid-terms. No self-respecting engineer would claim such a Herculean fete. But a pathological liar supported by Hollywood “narratives” did.

Numerous Facebook projects were in play at Harvard in 2003. Paul Ceglia, the Winklevoss Twins (ConnectU), Aaron Greenspan (HOUSEsystem) and even Harvard's computer group was planning one. Zuckerberg was evidently tasked with stalling all of them until Leader's invention (via IBM / Eclipse) was ready and Facebook could launch. Zuckerberg was never more than a face on the Facebook cereal box. The public and media bought well-acted The Social Network film fiction uncritically.

Tellingly, Facebook’s phalanx of lawyers, with complicit judges (see IBM's Benedict Arnold Minions below), have stonewalled all legal efforts to study Zuckerberg's 28 computers and email from his Harvard days in 2003-2004.

Unscrupulous double down

It is illogical to expect these people to see the error of their ways voluntary, repent, and change their wicked ways. They are going to have to be confronted and battled. We hope our untainted elected representatives use the powers delegated to them by the People to stop this criminality before these bullies do much more damage to our Republic.

Fenwick & West LLP, after representing Leader Technologies during the critical research and development phase, including learning the "secret sauce," has gone on to become Facebook’s securities and patent attorney without seeking conflicts of interest waivers from Leader Technologies. Fenwick also took Obamacare architect Todd Y. Park's company, Castlight Health, Inc. public, while Park was the White House chief technology officer without a single word from Obama about this impropriety.

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have gone on to underwrite Facebook’s initial public offering and fund many other infringers of Leader Technologies' patents—earning them billions of dollars in fees and stock.

James W. Breyer and Accel Partners LLP became Facebook’s second largest shareholder. Breyer declared in 2012 that his is “super bullish on China.” No wonderHe is ceding America’s sovereignty to China where intellectual property is not respected and likeminded oligarchs rule.

James P. Chandler visited Russia and China to cement the theft of his client Leader Technologies’ invention and his private national security NSA agenda.

David J. Kappos was appointed Patent Office director and ordered Leader Technologies’ patent invalidated as one of his final acts; appointing IBM cronies, like chief administrative judge Stephen C. Siu, inside the Patent Office to do his dirty work.

Eric H. Holder, Jr. was appointed Attorney General and has turned a blind eye to all federal judges’ conflicts of interest in Leader v. Facebook, right up to Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. who holds substantial stock in JPMorgan and Facebook cartel interests. Holder himself is loaded up with Fidelity and T. Rowe Price holdings.

Vanguard, T. Rowe Price and Fidelity became large Facebook investors.

Yada, yada, yada.

Collusion among IBM & Harvard principals

Following the adage “follow the money,” all roads lead to IBM’s chief financial officer, Mark Loughridge. He paid Chandler’s consulting fees, donated $40 million to start Eclipse, and led to the Chinese Lenovo sale, which he explained to nervous IBMers.

Mark Loughbridge failed to disclose is numerous hidden-agenda associations to IBM shareholders:

1. IBM chief financial officer
2. David J. Kappos, IBM colleague
3. Eclipse Consortium funder
4. James P. Chandler client
5. JPMorgan client
6. Fenwick & West LLP client
7. James W. Breyer, Accel Partners LLP colleague
8. Robert C. Ketterson, Fidelity Investments colleague
9. Chinese Lenovo deal selling out the IBM PC Group
10. Vanguard Group director (major Facebook shareholder)
11. William R. Brody, IBM director, T. Rowe Price director (5.2% Facebook shareholder, 6.9% Baidu (China) shareholder)

As a fiduciary in IBM and Vanguard, Loughbridge has an affirmative duty to disclose conflicts of interest that can taint his judgment and impartiality. This is a firm requirement of the Business Judgment Rule.

Mark Loughridge’s fiduciary duty sins

To what extent are IBM's earnings since 2004 fraudulent as a result of Mark Loughridge's nondisclosure? IBM's use of its monopoly to oppress small American inventors is exactly the sorts of despotic powers America's founders decried as deadly to the Republic.

When in doubt, the corrupt double down

David J. Kappos left the Patent Office, after assigning IBM crony judges to invalidate Leader Technologies’ patent, and then went to work for Cravath Swaine LLP. On Jan. 23, 2014, Kappos’ Cravath Swaine facilitated the sale of IBM’s server unit to Lenovo.

Park's company, Castlight Health, Inc. went public on Mar. 14, 2014 led by Facebook's attorneys, Fenwick & West LLP and Cooley Godward LLP, with Facebook's underwriters Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. It is unprecedented to allow a sitting White House officer take a private company public without his recusal from his public job. The ties to this IBM cartel are evident, begging serious questions about the true intentions of Obamacare. See Chinese Involvement in Obamacare hidden by missing SEC certifications.

Table 2: X = conflicting associations with Facebook interests. The only honest broker in this list appears to be Judge Joseph J. Farnan. He oversaw Leader v. Facebook up to one month before trial, after which he “retired” to make way for Obama nominee Leonard P. Stark. Judge Stark was formally appointed to his judgeship by President Obama just a week after the trial—evident reward for giving the administration the verdict they wanted. On Jan. 20, 2010, Judge Farnan had conducted the pivotal Markman Hearing which was a disaster for Facebook. Just a week later, on Jan. 26, 2010, Judge Farnan suddenly announced his “retirement” having previously told the litigants he was looking forward to the trial. He still practices law in Delaware.

Judge Joseph J. Farnan appears to have been the only honest broker in this cast of characters. Tellingly, he was pressed into retirement just a month before trial. Actually, Judge Farnan did not retire. He went into private practice and continues to practice law in Delaware. Strange conduct from someone who said he was looking forward to the Leader v. Facebook trial just months earlier. It appears that the Facebook cartel did not like Judge Farnan’s Markman opinion.

[Editorial Note: These investing geniuses should run the Federal Reserve since their returns beat the market so dramatically. All of them have become multi-millionaires in a few short years. Simply astounding!]

The financial holdings by judges and others involved in this criminal cartel involved in the Leader v. Facebook matter are evident. When in doubt about how to behave, the corrupt double down. This cartel must be broken up and imprisoned. The health and future of the American Republic may hinge on it.
