Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (/ˈzʌkərbɜːrɡ/; born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman. He co-founded the social media service Facebook, along with his Harvard roommates in 2004, and its parent company Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook, Inc.), of which he is chairman, chief executive officer and controlling shareholder.
Mark Zuckerberg, the alleged inventor of Facebook, was TIME's man of the year last year.
I haven't seen anyone really pull that apart, so here goes.
Before I show you the whopping lies, let me just ask you if you think it makes any sense that a guy who started a social website should be the man of the year.
There was what, Myspace before that, and dozens of others, including:
delicious
deviantArt
Flicker
Friendster
hi5
Hyves
LinkedIn
Netlog (formerly known as Facebox)
Orkut
and XING.
Plus, how much genius does it take to put a site like this together?
It isn't brain surgery.
Zuckerberg and some pals put it together in college, in between bong hits and kamikaze shots, and apparently, they stole the idea from some frat boys even stupider than they are (Zuckerberg recently lost a judgment and had to pay out a large sum to a couple of rich jarheads from Harvard).
But it gets worse, as usual.
It turns out that Zuckerberg only took off after the CIA got involved.
If you want to know why Facebook is now the number 2 site on the web, in terms of traffic, instead of Myspace or hi5, you only have to look at who is backing it.
ACCEL corporation gave 12 million in start-up money to Facebook, and ACCEL has direct ties to In-Q-Tel—it may even be a secret arm of In-Q-Tel as well as DARPA.
The Information Awareness Office (IAO) was established by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in January 2002 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying surveillance and information technology to track and monitor terrorists and other asymmetric threats to U.S. national security by achieving "Total Information Awareness" (TIA)
According to Wikipedia:
this would be achieved by creating enormous computer databases to gather and store the personal information of everyone in the United States, including:
personal e-mails
social networks
credit card records
phone calls
medical records
and numerous other sources, without any requirement for a search warrant.
After public outcry, the IAO was defunded by Congress in 2003, but even Wiki admits that it persisted:
“And merely ran under different names.”
It is alive and well today.
Facebook is one of its arms.
Furthermore, if you check the TOS, Terms of Service, of Facebook, you will find that Facebook now owns any and all information and content you have uploaded to it.
They now own copyright to any photos you put up there, including photos of art.
They can make “derivative” copies of your artwork, and you can't sue them for it (you might be able to, but you would be suing in white territory, since no one knows if TOS agreements like this will hold up in court. Just as you can't sign away liability, it may be that you cannot sign away copyright in a TOS. But good luck!).
This also applies to written art, including:
poems
short stories
jokes
and everything else.
In the same way, you have signed away any right to privacy, since the Facebook agreement states in clear terms that they have the right to data-mine you any way they like.
In signing up to Facebook, you are basically giving a thumbs-up to the government to data-mine you, with no legal repercussions.
You are also giving them a thumbs-up to steal your intellectual property, supposing you have any.
But that still isn't all.
What if you change your mind about something you posted at Facebook, and wish to take it down?
Well, they have a permanent copy of it.
You can take it down, but they still have the permanent file and always will.
What if you wish to post something Facebook doesn't like, such as a link to an anti-CIA rally?
Well, Facebook can just take it down, without even notifying you.
They can break all your links, and punish all your friends by breaking their links, too.
Facebook has already done stuff like this, and it is almost impossible to stop them.
That's a beautiful way to get around free speech, right?
You have to sue them to have free speech, but by the time you get around to winning your lawsuit, the rally is long over.
Ever wonder how Facebook gets so many hits?
Those are faked as well.
As proof, just go to your sidebar, or wherever your computer's history is.
Click on it.
If you are like me, you will probably find a lot of Facebook hits, even though you haven't been there all day or all year.
I am not a member of Facebook and never have been, and never go there.
And yet my history list is littered with Facebook hits.
How can that be?
It can be because tens of thousands of websites are surreptitiously linked to Facebook, so that anytime you visit those sites, you also register a hit for Facebook.
This drives the hits of Facebook up by many factors of ten, falsifying its popularity.
This false popularity can then be used to sell ads, driving up Facebook's claimed revenues.
The popularity of Facebook is manufactured.
That is a whopping lie, but there is an even larger one.
We are now told that Zuckerberg is worth something on the order of 13.6 billion.
That is up from 4 billion last year, according to Forbes.
Everything else we are told is false, so that probably is, too.
Can I prove it?
Yes, all I have to do is a little math.
The revenue of Facebook was around 2 billion in 2010, according to Wiki.
The total revenue from 2006-2009 was 1.25 billion.
Before that, Facebook was nothing special, making only a few million.
That is a total since founding of 3.25 billion.
Zuckerberg can't have profit more than the entire company, can he?
Zuckerberg owns a 24% share of Facebook.
Well, 24% of 3.25 billion is 780 million, not 13.6 billion.
Plus, 3.25 billion is revenues, not profit.
Facebook has to pay costs, right?
It has to pay a staff and rent and so on.
Which probably brings Zuckerberg's share down below half a billion.
That is assuming we aren't being lied to about revenues.
Where did they come up with that 13.6 billion number?
Well, Goldman Sachs just paid 400 million for .8% of the company, which would make the company worth 50 billion, we are told.
That would make Zuckerberg's share 12 billion.
Unfortunately, that is not how you determine the worth of an individual.
That is market speculation, and as we have seen, market speculation doesn't always pan out.
Goldman Sachs is betting that Facebook will be worth more than 50 billion in the near future, but that bet doesn't put any real money in Zuckerberg's bank account.
Assuming that Zuckerberg's living costs are zero, and that he hasn't blown it all on houses and boats and hookers, his bank account has a maximum of about half a billion.
That is how any normal person would determine wealth.
To see how skewed this all is, and how dishonest, we can compare Zuckerberg to Steve Jobs.
Forbes tells us that Jobs, the owner of Apple Computers, is worth 8.3 billion.
Do you really believe that Zuckerberg is worth 61% more than Jobs, a man who has been producing and selling actual products since 1976?
I don't.
What I believe is that Zuckerberg is being promoted with false numbers in order to get everyone to sign up to Facebook, so that they can be data-mined, wallet mined, and whipped with the legal pencils.
I believe that Goldman Sachs was instructed to bet on Facebook, just for this purpose.
Goldman Sachs has long been like a fourth branch of the government, and they have long been in bed with the CIA and the DoD and so on.
Goldman Sachs has more ex-officers in the government than any other company.
These appearances in the media by Zuckerberg are also paid for by the US Government.
Zuckerberg appears on the AskMen lists, the TIME lists, the Forbes lists, and so on, care of the US Government.
