Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin was a U.S. taxpayer, not a traitor

Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder of the social network and Facebook Inc., stands accused of violating the social contract — the idea that government is based on an agreement among its citizens to ensure mutual protection of person and property.

Plan afoot for U.N. to rule Internet

They’re kidding, right?

India wants to set up a system whereby the United Nations would rule the Internet.

The Internet is governed by “a voluntary, multi-stakeholder group called ICANN or Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.” This group, headquartered in California, ensures that the Internet is free and mostly decentralized. ICANN has a Government Advisory Council (GAC), and invites governments across the world, including India, to participate.

But that is not good enough for India, which wants to set up a different system wherein the United Nations would rule the Internet.

The details of this effort are alarming. Be sure to click this link, read the piece, and let your congressional reps know what you think.

In neighboring Pakistan, the Ministry of Information Technology blocked access to Twitter for what it says was “blasphemous material posted by users” on the social networking site. Another official said “the ban would be lifted after ongoing discussions between the Pakistan government and Twitter about the allegedly blasphemous material are resolved,” according to a Reuters report. The ban was subsequently lifted after several hours.

Facebook IPO: Hope and optimism?

Prison Planet.com » Schumer Introduces Ex-PATRIOT Act: Will Banish Those Who Renounce US Citizenship

What comes after Banana Republic? Because America is it – after last week Facebook co-founder, and native Brazilian, Eduardo Saverin announced he would denounce his US citizenship, America has decided to make it virtually illegal to denounce one’s citizenship in what can only be classified as the dumbest proposed law in recent history:

meet the Ex-PATRIOT Act Expatriation Prevention by Abolishing Tax-Related Incentives for Offshore Tenancy proposed by Chick Schumer and Bob Casey.

WASHINGTON – FEBRUARY 3: United States Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) listens as U.S. President Barack Obama speaks during a meeting of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee at the Newseum February 3, 2010 in Washington, D.C.

One wonders just how much taxpayer money was spent to pay naming consultants to come up with this witty acronym for a law that can only be classified as utter idiocy. Here is our suggestion for the follow up law: The “GULAG” Act: Get Ur Laughable Asses Gone although we are open to any other non-taxpayer funded acronym suggestions.From ABC: Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a status update for Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never come to back to the U.S. again. In September 2011, Saverin…………

GOODBYE, AMERICA: Billionaire Facebook Cofounder Renounces Citizenship (Your taxes are not for me)

Billionaire Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin is renouncing his citizenship ahead of the company’s IPO at the end of next week.

Saverin is the cofounder who got booted from the company WAY back in 2005. They made a movie about it.

His 4 percent stake is worth about $4 billion and he’s going to save a boatload on taxes with the move.

Singapore, where Saverin lives, does not have a capital gains tax.

He will have to pay an exit tax on his holdings, but it will be at Facebook’s valuation now, not after the IPO.

Facebook IPO Is US Intel Operation?

Media reports suggest that Facebook will file for an IPO this week that could value the company at $100 billion – and leave the company sitting on $10 billion in cash. I’m not a financial analyst, so I’ll leave it to Wall Street to discuss and debate that valuation. But the fact is this newfound wealth could not only allow Facebook to solve its biggest business challenges, it could also help Facebook finally achieve its longstanding goal to change how marketing works. So how should Facebook use its IPO windfall? ~ Nate Elliott’s Blog

Dominant Social Theme: This Facebook IPO is very exciting and shows that young people can create incredible value in a short period of time. Mark Zuckerberg is a genius.

The Daily Bell – Facebook IPO Is US Intel Operation?

…It strikes us as a dominant social theme of sorts, despite all the excitement that the IPO has caused see excerpt above. The media is full of breathless adulation regarding Facebook and Zuckerberg.We’re supposed to accept this narrative unquestioningly. We don’t.There is a group of impossibly wealthy families, in our view − a power elite initially based in the City of London − that controls central banking around the world.

This handful of families uses trillions in cash flow to aid in the construction of what is popularly known as the New World Order.This NWO is not erected without a good deal of effort, and what we call the Internet Reformation has proven to be a stumbling block. The information revealed on the Internet has generated extreme opposition to what the NWO families are trying to do, along with their enablers and associates.In order to overcome this opposition, the power elite has launched a series of false flags that are intended to make the Internet more confusing to the opposition and more supportive of its efforts.Facebook, from what we can tell, is a kind of false flag intended to gather huge numbers of users in an environment that will be – at least gently – pro-globalist. Or at least useful to the globalist agenda.

Why do we believe that Facebook is a kind of false flag?

Three years ago, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul, made Hillary Rodham Clinton’s success with cattle futures look like a child’s lemonade stand. The credit card giant Visa was holding an initial public offering, among the most lucrative ever seen. The Pelosis were granted early access to the IPO as “special customers” who received their shares at the opening price, $44. The lucky investors turned in a 50 percent profit in just two days.

Starting on March 18, the speaker and her husband made the first of three Visa stock buys, totaling between $1 million and $5 million. “Mere mortals would have to wait until March 19, when the stock would be publicly traded, to get their shares,” writes Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institution in his new book. On the surface, it appeared to be quite a gamble. Mr. Schweizer reports that the investment represented at least 10 percent of the Pelosis’ stock portfolio and perhaps as much as half of their equity holdings.

Ethics: As Democrats demonize Wall Street CEOs as the “greedy” fiends of the financial crisis, they’ve lined their own pockets — both before and after the crisis. Nancy Pelosi‘s just the latest example.

The former House speaker allegedly gamed financial reforms to boost her personal stock portfolio. The brewing scandal is complicated, but here’s the Reader’s Digest version:

After a Pelosi staffer left to lobby on behalf of credit-card giant Visa, Pelosi delayed bringing to the House floor a bill to end lucrative “swipe fees” for Visa and other credit providers.
