I'm no Libertarian . . . or am I (smirk)

Recently, The Guardian had a fantastical story With Friends Like These  . . . on what is really behind The Facebooks. 

One ginormous shell game by Peter Theil to operationalize his libertarian agenda.  Multi-tier investment laundering with stealthy Justafad_shadowymencapital coming from the shadows of renowned universities and governmental central intelligence slush funds. 
Makes you think twice about what you put where online.

Massive conspiracy - who doesn't love a story like that!? 

Frankly, I still think the Magic Johnson/HIV thing was just a marketing lollapalooza for Stern and the NBA.   They played the all-star game in Orlando that year (Magic - coincidence?) and the league star torch was passed to Jordan (who still has never traveled and always got the call).  But this Facebooks thing?  Theil creates PayPal to liberate the "money" and now this to free "information".  Certainly a chess game I can't imagine.  Or maybe Thiel just flipped in some cash early with little diligence and now his legend grows beyond mythical proportions. 

Campaign 2016 - Scientology vs. Libertarian.  Is that what the founding fathers had in mind?
