"The borrower is servant to the lender" is a Proverb that explains trouble ahead for Facebook and its multitude of users. All of our information and where we are each day is now partially owned by Russia as well as their new "partner," Goldman Sachs. ABC News shared the tragic betrayal news on the "Good Morning, America" show this morning, stating that Russia's company, Digital Sky Technologies, has put 200 million dollars on the table in return for a slim percentage partner ownership favor. Since Facebook's stock is reportedly "10 billion dollars," even a "1.96 per cent" return can multiply pocket change rapidly for Russia. Where, might I ask, does Russian plan to spend it? What else are they planning to do with this new mass of data control?
Read the linking article from the New York Times which explains that Russia is not allowed to be on the Facebook Board of Directors but people, we all know that a foot in the door IS a foot in the door. "The borrower IS servant to the Lender" so what demands, "favors out of courtesy to the Investor," will be made of Mark ZuckerbergMark Zuckerberg and Facebook in the near future? Go ahead, read it at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/technology/internet/27facebook.html?_r=1. Do some extrapolation.
Do Facebook leaders even read the news about what Russia is doing elsewhere in the world today? Have they all fallen prey to the prevailing philosophy lie that "Nothing bad will happen"? Why has Mark Zuckerberg gone to bed with the enemy of all things American around the world? Well, Facebook's reported answer in the New York Times article was a startling one. It seems that "79 per cent" of all Facebook users are from foreign nations and it has to do with transmission issues and those overseas' costs. It claims that Mr. Zuckerberg is thinking way ahead in the future, even admitting that Facebook does not need the money at this time.
Is his overconfident youthfulness starting to show grave mistakes now with a lack of doing his political current events' homework, thus leaving him uninformed, unconcerned and extremely vulnerable? Does he have any counselors wisely advising him about how Russia is undermining America in military operations and security? Does he know any facts at all about what has been happening the past few years with Russia helping Iran and other enemy nations who want to crush America? What is Mark Zuckerberg's background in history and current events' education? What is his personal philosophy of politics and how freedom should be protected? Does he even care or is all of that off the radar because today's youth have been fed a steady diet of jadedness and lies about what is really happening in the world and to us as a nation? How old are all of the Facebook Board members? What is their political view and philosophy? Does Mark really understand who they are, who their sympathies lie with in politics and international matters? Is this nightmare a matter of bad advice from them?
Is there a simpler reason why Facebook has sold us out to our enemy? Have they divorced themselves mentally from the ramifications of this "investment" coup, only wanting to focus on money, money, money? Have Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook Board made the fatal mistake of falling prey to "Flattery spreadeth a net"? I can just picture Russia mocking us, laughing behind our backs, celebrating their great triumph at infiltrating one of America's greatest social networking companies at such a dangerous time in history, taking advantage of men who were too young to know they were being tricked.
It is time to pull out the history books and connect the dots. Drop everything else. See and fear the "handwriting on the wall" in what you have done to all of America and to our soldiers around the world. Return the money with documented proof and trustworthy legal witnesses, rip up the contracts and pay whatever is necessary to get yourself out of this trap and reinstate yourselves as free Americans. Never place yourself in a corner in a chess game; it is bad, bad business to have an enemy nation in your camp. Cry out to God to help you untangle yourselves. This situation is a mess; clean it up fast.
I like Mark Zuckerberg from what I saw and heard on his extended television interview with ABC in recent weeks. He is highly gifted, I raised a gifted son and taught other gifted youth and I think analytically in a gifted way, so I do understand how his mind is playing out business decisions decades down the road. However, you cannot isolate business from politics. They are chokingly intertwined. You have to do the homework when it comes to playing with the Big Boys in Russia and at Goldman Sachs, also. Don't fall prey to the idea that this move will soften them. It is a trap, big time.
By the way, what is the connection between Goldman Sachs and Russia, both partnering to invest in Facebook? Another reporter needs to follow that trail, also. How many enemies are in high position in companies across our land? http://www.economyincrisis.org has already listed multitudes of American companies who have sold themselves to foreign nations, some of whom quietly sold their holdings to enemy nations. Has anyone noticed an influx of new corporate leaders and their origin?
Can our fearless leader, Mark Z., get out of this in time? I am reminded of the Proverb, "The love of money is the root of all evil." Not money but the all-consuming love of it. As you say, you don't need it. Be content with the great success already awarded to you by your fans. Don't sell us out, please. Remember, great leaders have learned the lesson of humility. God promises you that if you do the right thing in His eyes, He will reward you. "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." The opposite is also true, "Pride goeth before destruction." Don't worry about what anyone might think or say...reverse this decision, cancel the acceptance of the money from Russia and from Goldman Sachs. Don't misplace your trust...it is too valuable a commodity. Run, do not walk, to the nearest, older, wise counselors...find those of us who really care for you and for Facebook who understand the big picture about what is happening worldwide...you need their support to extricate yourself from something too big for you and the Board.
