Recently Sarah Westall was outed for being an alt media shill in a blockbuster reveal at the American Intelligence Media. Sarah’s ignorance about the creation of social networking was astounding – so much so that our inbox has been filled with comments from every day people to actual network engineers who were involved with the early development of communications technologies.
To get the full picture, read the backstory on this bimbo blondie.
Below is a response from a highly knowledgeable AIMCat who was flabbergasted that Sarah Westall, who claims that she is a highly informed purveyor of “truth”, is so wrong about the revolutionary technology invented by Leader Technologies, Inc. She writes this response under her pseudonym Meg Flanagan.
Meg is a true icon in the field of networking architectures worldwide. She was called in to fix scalability problems in most of the major hardware, network and telecom providers for AT&T (SBC), Cisco, Sprint, Microsoft, Sun, SGI, GE Imaging, Supercomputers (NOAA, DoD, NSA, National Labs, others), DoD Navy Systems, NASA Space Station Freedom.
Meg writes:
I am a WAN/LAN network engineer and team leader, recently retired.
My resume is too long, but suffice it to say that I have worked on numerous systems and projects for IBM, Dell, EMC (in its various derivations), Data General, CD Robotic Library, Robotic Tape & RAID), British Cable & Wireless, MI6 (unbeknownst to me until Oct 4, 2024), U.S. Department of Defense.
These companies metaphorically gave me blank checks to fix their messes.
Sarah needs to study the history of technology like I did. She needs to pay special attention to the facts provided by Aim4Truth and Americans for Innovation because they are telling the truth about our technology history. It includes a timeline going back to the 1800s with Morse Code and telegraphy and the control of the banks.
For all of the Russia rhetoric, the fact is America shifted political priority behind the scenes toward Russia during the Reagan administration.
The 4 Space Station Freedom modules were being engineered by America, Russia, Japan and Canada under Ronald Reagan. At some point in the late 80s, the name was changed to the “International Space Station” and the “Paperless Society” (aka SSE – Software Production Facilities) became the new program with WAN/LAN connectivity to IBM and DEC Clusters, Apollo Workstations, ADPE, OOT model, Oracle, ARTEMIS, IBM Rational Rose—hindsight shows they were engineering a one-world computer system. Who was driving this? I can see now it was the British Pilgrims Society out of TheCityofLondon. Every time I was sent to Britain to meet with their engineers, they told me what to do and my bosses told me just to suck it up.
“The more things appear to change, the more they are the same” is correct with at least one exception:
Leader Technologies’ invention of social networking was a true breakthrough in many-to-many relationships for sharing data, scalability over a WAN (wide area network). The networks were WAN (Internet, Inter-A-net (USA country), and LAN (local area network) internal for a corporation. Up until then we were busy thinking about one-to-many and many-to-one data relationships could be made fast enough to handle scalability in groupware, but they could not, as Leader’s innovations proved.
There was never a technical reason for any country to outsource their data with appropriate partitions for sharing their networks, IP addressing schemas, servers, backup devices, etc. with outsiders.
I can think of only one purpose: CENTRALIZED CONTROL. These people think it is funny that most people do not understand “device settings” which is typically part of system setup until these freaks decided it requires them to be set by an external API that can be manipulated remotely (read: the hijacked Leader API).
This has become the nastiest, cruelest bunch of so-called technical people with access to too much data (control of Lives). They stopped designs that listened to End User Requirements by late 90s to early 2000s. Why?
This environment was moving towards machine-only, without any regard for Human Beings in this world that’s why!
I was informed by a senior corporate tech VP that this was to be called “Socialized Business” … Whatever that means.
In the late 1970’s, we used an IBM mainframe as a “timeshare” computing system of resources & FORTRAN punch cards with a dot matrix large print out.
The early 80s to 90s was TROFF (text files for typesetters) and GNU for publishing tools, typesetting code and printer driver code. Today that has been ported as HTML code (Internet browser) with a transport mechanism and some flashy GUI graphics (underneath it is still a Text File)… Content, Context, Research Sources. Truthfulness has been sacrificed “By Design.”
Sarah, at the very least do your homework and make a list of questions for the “Patent” holder(s) so you can do a Real & Truthful Interview someday. Making irresponsible comments makes you just another confuser.
Today, “The Cloud” is simply Timeshare to lease software using the same old IBM model while continuing to submit your data, your creativity 24x7x365 for their “safekeeping.” It should be a “Revenue Sharing” model for all Data Warehouse Sales since the User’s Data is their property, not the providers.
The first time I heard the term “Cloud,” my reaction was that it is just Timeshare!
Then, in 2011 even Oracle chairman Larry Ellison called cloud computing a stupid idea, nonsense, a buzzword, and a relabeling of everything that we already do.
When the Kindle came along, it was supposed to be the next best thing for books, but my gut instinct was that we needed to maintain hard copies of every technical book in our library before they rewrite each word and discombobulate the context in (un)Help menus, online chat, etc. making the big picture extremely fuzzy—censorship.
As a former Gopher, IRC user, Leader Technologies API is a quantum leap, not simply a logical progression as Sarah said. Gopher was so rudimentary! It was a one-to-one file transfer protocol. Similar to straight “FTP” transfers.
Eventually, Gopher allowed a user to select multiple files for transfer, yet they were not multithreaded and sent one by one via the transport mechanism.
1980s Mirroring systems & data was initially available by DEC Clusters in the 1980s. DEC was used as a development platform while IBM CICS was the Financial system.
Published TROFF text files with literals and end literals using VT100 terminals.
1983, Beta tester for Xerox Star Desktop Publishing workstations had a one-way data interface for download only with IBM & DEC systems. By 1987, 1988 Apollo Workstations (later HP Workstations) were available with 2-way LAN data links.
1990s, UNIX Workstation FrameMaker Desktop publishing used a DEC interface LAN or DEC emulator on UNIX High End systems. Adobe purchased FrameMaker and renamed it Adobe InDesign and did not fix the same soft link bug found in 1992. Systems Engineering or Testers need to come back into Vogue along with “User Requirements,” security, rules (a do not Violate MY DATA notice) before another line of code is generated or distributed in each Sovereign Nation!
Many things come to mind, specifically Healthcare images and reports stays between my medical provider and me just like the alleged “attorney client privilege.” Unfortunately, they did not think about that for “WtP” when they wrote the “Cloud” Terms of Use Agreement.
Beware the Printer Driver: We were all forced to agree to just to install a print driver for a Printer–one we paid for without seeing this Agreement. These drivers taking proprietary data, copyrighted materials from artists, designers, authors, etc. via a device driver back end DLL. It is pathetic how criminal and human-defacing the tech world is. I am ashamed that I inadvertently took part in this.
PDF is the only original program from Adobe to allow for compression across WAN resources. Adobe OOT libraries lift Open Source code and implement it without testing it, such as SVG format, HTML link both in their Libraries. Geez, corruption of a Fireworks prototype by using their Library HTML link should be pretty simple yet it destroyed the Prototype. Hey, the users’ time, especially small businessowner, does not matter to a billion dollar a year company, right?
File sharing was always limited because of file size, compression, corruption, drops, and scalability bottlenecks, especially with links to images with text.
Client-Server completely relied on IBM CICS & DEC. Financials, inventory management, supply chain, vendor management, COGS, margins & product structuring were a Pull (limited or read only) data environment.
The 7 layers to the Stack started in the mid-90s. Yet data sharing of many-to-many was not available for client-server environments.
Multiple “tools” were floating around for data sharing over the networks yet many were unable to scale even on the OC-192 broadband network.
1996: Java was the next best thing for an API in the 7-layer Stack. Java was originally noted as being developed by Dimension X. Sun Microsystems licensed the source code then Microsoft (IBM) bought the company.
In 2012, an AT&T manager informed me that the Stack had been collapsed for more control. Simply increasing the network speed, collapsing the 7-layer stack, adding more transistors to boards solves very little!
Faster is not the solution to Data Sharing, collaboration, and productivity!
File system management ran with multiple FS systems from Livermore Labs. HSM Unitree was from Livermore too & bounced from Convex Supercomputers, SGI platforms to Legato (EMC).
U.S. Taxpayers fund the National Labs and back in the 80s and 90s Royalties were paid on a quarterly basis to use these source licenses such as UniTree.
How are Royalties paid today?
UNIX HSM had potential for VOD, IPTV, yet streaming multiple user Pull requests required a “Scalable” API for Data (Leader’s invention breakthrough). This same situation was required for Provisioning multiple wireless phones onto the networks. Citrix was not the solution as well.
2000: ALL provisioning (sales) systems FAILED in each geo location as the system could not manage the demand for scalability.
Now, imagine several years of geo locations, then going to a mainframe for data-in-bulk at night compared to today with online banking because of the many-to-many API relationship available thanks to Leader Technologies’ invention.
Leader’s invention scales, it mirrors, it compresses, it sends a copy, and the source file is still intact all while the user is allowed to multitask. This was not available in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006.
After a history of working with X-Ray Medical Images, HiPPi, DVI/DVO HDTV, High end Supercomputers, UNIX, AIX, SGI, Linux and, unfortunately, Microsoft OSs, along with numerous storage devices, it feels like were still in the 1970s on speed only.
Adobe Creative Suite was allowed to add the DICOM Medical Imaging Standard without Real Security—they sacrificed HiPPA Privacy as a result while their propagandists said that it was “HiPPA compliant.” Gag. After testing this security, it must be done in the “File Info” area and the Security goes to a 3rd Party system. Stupid.
Adobe users, designers think modifying a Design (just like modifying a Patent) equates to “real creativity”–using OOT Libraries for ICC Colors, Textiles, Graphics, etc. and modifying someone else’s Design or Invention by 10% does not make it yours… Sorry!
The Leader API is the Solution the entire tech world relies on today for e-commerce, collaboration, data sharing, creativity. Leader’s new MySQIF Privacy App is the ONLY “new invention” of our lifetime– true Science, Physics, Quantum & Encryption. –
Suggestion to Sarah:
Stop pretending that you know about social networking and just listen to Michael McKibben to learn actual facts. You need to apologize for your misdirection in your Victor Hugo interview. Your pretended expertise is embarrassing.
–Sincerely, Meg
