OSU Marching Band's Apple commercial threatened to expose IBM goal to capture Ohio data
M.O.O.C. is a house built on shifting sand, technologically and morally.
McKibben said, "The motion to dismiss is a delay tactic. Under Ohio law, as long as Michael Drake keeps filing motions to dismiss, we are free to keep tightening the complaint with amendments on behalf of the Citizens of Ohio." McKibben continued, "President Drake's cite to dubious judicial mutual fund waiver arguments is curious. Our supporters in the Leader v. Facebook judicial corruption scandal are attacking this waiver as unConstitutional. In our case, our judges concealed their substantial Facebook stock holdings behind mutual funds without recusing themselves. Michael Drake is not a judge, so his citation of it is telling. I hope this cartel has not infected the Ohio Attorney General's office too." Ohio State officials did not return our calls for an interview. They never do.
ORIGINAL POST
(Sep. 22, 2015)—IBM (“Big Blue”) has been on the march in Ohio since 2012.
Then overnight, on Jan. 12, 2014, the famed Ohio State band marched all over Big Blue with a wildly successful Apple TV commercial that went viral across the planet.
While both companies profit from the fruits of the social networking invention they stole from Ohio innovator, Leader Technologies, IBM envies Apple's success.
| Company market valuations (approx.): | |
| IBM: | $145,500,000,000 |
| Apple: | $632,600,000,000 (4.3 times IBM) |
The university community was thrilled with the revenue and attention Ohio State received, but an inner circle of OSU administrators was livid.
Huh? Rationally, what was not to like about the publicity for Ohio State and a $30 million fee?
As it turns out, plenty. In an instant, the OSU band was upsetting the IBM apple cart in Ohio (no pun intended) by bringing unwanted attention to IBM's nemesis—Apple.
Some back story perspective is needed to understand why a small clique of OSU administrators were apparently irrationally upset with attention the band created. In reality, they were quite rational.
On Nov. 29, 2001, IBM formed The Eclipse Foundation as the vehicle to give away as “Open Source” (for free) Ohio-based Leader Technologies’ social networking invention in which Leader had invested over $10 million and 145,000 man-hours to develop.
By contrast, Mark Zuckerberg testified under oath that he developed Facebook in "one to two weeks" in Jan. 2004 while taking a full class load. Truth is, IBM and The Eclipse Foundation gave Leader's innovations to Zuckerberg. All the Zuck had to do was flip the switch. Such willful lies are criminal offenses in an unbroken justice system.
On Jun. 06, 2002, Chandler took custody of a copy of Leader’s invention and shuffled it out the backdoor to his cronies at IBM and The Eclipse Foundation. They knew that Leader had broken the sound barrier on "scalability;" a solution that had eluded both IBM and Microsoft for more than a decade. They were intent on stealing it to perpetuate their monopolies.
Eleven weeks later, Leader's innovations appeared magically in Eclipse 2.0.1. A week later, Hewlett-Packard (HP) joined Eclipse. Microsoft was already a member through its University of Washington surrogate, and it then doubled-down in a press release with HP 12 weeks later.
The feeding frenzy surrounding Leader’s innovations was on. IBM illegally claimed copyrights over Leader's invention. Chandler advised IBM on the bogus copyright claims
Also in 2002, Leader Technologies showed its invention to Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, which is headquartered near the Ohio State campus. Battelle stole everything that Leader presented and became a central player in the IBM spy state cartel that was gathering steam.
Battelle's Jeffrey Wadsworth and Alex R. Fischer (now Ohio State trustees) joined Battelle soon thereafter as the clean-up men. Wadsworth's signature is actually on a Leader Technologies contract from 2001 where the federal government had validated Leader's invention as a "widely deployable security system."

IBM: "First of its kind technology"
Since 2012, in a “first of its kind technology,” IBM admitted that Ohio State is ground zero for its march to control academia and politics in Ohio.
Ironically, IBM is exploiting Ohio State's data center. They are hooking up Ohio State and the State of Ohio to their global “Big Data Social Business” network. This network is comprised of 200 client centers, 8 specialized analytics centers and 200 academic institutions.
This activity is buried in glowing Orwellian descriptions of efficiency, savings, security, modernization, enhanced user experience and engagement.
In the iPad commercial, Jon Waters’ marching innovations associated Ohio State with Apple overnight. IBM's cronies at Ohio State had to stop this unwanted attention, and quickly. So, they smeared Waters and fired him.
The evident incivility and rudeness toward Waters and the band telegraphed that this was the work of outsiders.

Coincidence or Collusion?
Ohio information technology officials falling in lockstep behind all-things-IBM. Coincidence, or collusion? No wonder Michael Drake does not want to disclose his financial holdings as required by law. IBM and IBM cronies will likely figure prominently in his holdings. See below.
Ex Post Facto Memo to Jon Waters and the OSU Marching Band: No room for Apple in Ohio
The only sin of Jon Waters and the OSU Marching Band was being good at what they do.
IBM and their secret Ohio cronies clearly do not want their larger rival, Apple, to have any involvement in their Ohio takeover.
In fact, Steve Jobs had refused NSA attempts to collect user data. Apple only agreed to snoop for the NSA a year after Jobs died. Jobs' successors were not so courageous.
Bad Karma
Anecdotally, of the many ironies in this story of the destruction of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, Michael McKibben's late father, James A. McKibben, was the senior engineer who built the Ohio Supercomputer Center. IBM is hooking up the State of Ohio and Ohio State systems to their global spy network at this Center. Bad karma for the criminals.
No collusion among Ohio State's Mike Drake, Joe Steinmetz, Gene Smith and Jeff Wadsworth with these universities around all things IBM-Eclipse Spy State Cartel? :-/
On Jul. 01, 2014, Michael V. Drake became Ohio State’s president. His first official act was to fire Jon Waters on Jul. 24, 2014. Two months later, he announced the M.O.O.C. University Innovation Alliance.
State of Ohio Petition for Writ filed against Michael Drake to disclose his (IBM?) financial holdings
On Sep. 04, 2015, Drake was served a Petition for Writ of Mandamus by the State of Ohio to produce his required public financial disclosure. He had omitted all disclosure of his holdings in an evident attempt to hide those holdings. Nevertheless, even his obscured disclosure smoked out a connection among these IBM events.
One of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s longtime energy advisers, David Goldwyn, is associated with The Ford Foundation. While this association is not disclosed in Goldwyn's public biographies, it was discovered in the State Department’s most recent release of Hillary’s emails.
The Ford Foundation and Battelle have a long association. This means the Ohio State trustee president, Jeffrey Wadsworth, who is also CEO of Battelle, had undisclosed associations with Michael Drake before he was hired.
University Trustees are pledged to maintain impartiality when doing business on behalf of the citizens of the State of Ohio.
Ohio State leaders are all-in with IBM and its spy state cronies
Either it is just an uncanny coincidence that Drake, Wadsworth, Battelle, Ohio State and the State of Ohio are all doing business with IBM, or a nefarious agenda is afoot. See previous post: OSU Band Investigation Unearths Surprise Trustee Collusion in Patent Theft.
Investigators have mapped this network of mostly undisclosed relationships. It is a criminal offense for a public official to fail to disclose a conflict of interest that he or she knows to be improper.
Gene Smith is now obscuring his IBM connections
The Ohio State Athletic Director, Gene Smith, the man who fired former football coach, Jim Tressel, rather than take the responsibility for “tattoo-gate,” has long-time IBM connections.
Smith’s resume has historically talked about his former IBM employment.
"I worked at IBM for two years . . . I sold a lot of software packages and a lot of computers in the accounting industry and in manufacturing, distribution, medical, legal."
—Gene Smith, Sep. 01, 2013.
Mar. 23, 2005 ASU Web@Devil
Feb. 14, 2011 Ohio State Fisher School of Business
Sep. 01, 2013 Columbus CEO
However, in Gene Smith’s current Ohio State biography, his IBM history is omitted.
Sep. 21, 2015 Ohio State Buckeyes.
Update, Sep. 24, 2015—While the official OSU athletics website now omits Gene Smith's IBM relationship, the alumni association sends mixed signals.
The print edition of Ohio State Alumni Sep-Oct 2015 magazine (p. 26) omitted mention of IBM.
However, the online edition does mention IBM.
"It [IBM] was the coolest experience of all time. . . I really got into it."
—Gene Smith, Sep-Oct 2015.
A psycophantic pandering to Ohio State's true task master?
Ohio officials do IBM's spy state bidding
What are these Ohio officials hiding? What is IBM hiding? The people of Ohio deserve to know the truth about this collusion among their public officials.
The privacy and safety of our children is clearly threatened by the hidden agendas of these evident predators. Who is regulating this "Big Data" education information about our children that IBM appears to be sending all over the planet?
