armed guards – The Burning Platform

This means that even as Facebook was incrementally barring law-abiding citizens–including licensed gun dealers–from advertising firearm sales for self-defense, they were spending millions to keep Zuckerberg surrounded by hired guys carrying guns.

Facebook’s ban on the advertisement of gun sales has even led to the deletion of accounts on which the word “firearms” is included.

According to Quartz, Zuckerberg “famously takes $1 annual salary” from Facebook. However, Facebook “revealed that it spent more than $16 million over the past five years on private air travel and other aspects of Zuckerberg’s ‘overall security program.’”

The amount of money spent on Zuckerberg’s security was disclosed after the SEC pressed Facebook to explain whether “security expenses” were included in “Zuckerberg’s annual compensation package.”

The company, which had previously only disclosed travel costs, provided the SEC with security costs for Zuckerberg as well. “Facebook had previously claimed that it didn’t have to report Zuckerberg’s security costs because the measures weren’t put in place for his convenience, so they didn’t fall under rules governing the disclosure of executive perks.”

Zuckerberg’s number two–chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg–spent $1.25 million on security last year.

Breitbart News reported that private citizens were banned from advertising gun sales on Facebook on January 29.

Prologue:

The author of this piece is a Jew. Funny how life isn’t as cut and dry as we’d like it to be.

So Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has increased his security detail. He now has 16 private guards at his house alone.

Makes sense. His estimated net worth is a staggering $35 billion. That alone makes him a target.

And he’s spending his own money — unlike politicians who have taxpayers provide security for them.

But just last month, Facebook banned private firearms sales, even though those are perfectly legal. Because Zuckerberg, a San Francisco liberal, doesn’t feel right about it.

It’s just like America’s biggest anti-gun scold, former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, another multi-billionaire — with 12 bodyguards. He’s spent millions of dollars lobbying to ban guns — for everyone else.

One more thing:

Zuckerberg, Bloomberg — they’re obviously Jewish.

See, 80-some years ago, Hitler banned Jews from owning firearms.

There was one famous battle, in Poland, the Warsaw Uprising, when Jews in the ghetto, sensing they were all about to be murdered anyways, smuggled in guns, and launched a rebellion. It was ultimately crushed. But it was a rare moment when Jews didn’t go quietly to the slaughter.

I admire Bloomberg and Zuckerberg not wanting to be unarmed.

I just wish they’d let the rest of us do the same.
