Are there still neo-nazi's in a DA's Office?

As many people know, many years ago a neo-nazi gang infiltrated the Multnomah County District Attorney's Officer and the proof is Roger Weidner.

This brings up a question: Are there any secret neo-nazi's still working in the Multnomah County DA's Office?

As many people also know, the gang makes a big deal out of Jesse Lott being the cousin of Senator Trent Lott as is shown below. Does this mean Senator Trent Lott approves of the activities of this gang?

Man accuses firms of stealing software

PROVO — A self-described linguist and programmer has filed a lawsuit against Novell, the Eyring Research Institute and the founders of WordPerfect for a whopping $40 billion, claiming his software was pirated and used to create WordPerfect as well as some of Novell's first military missile programs.

Bruce Wydner of Eden, Weber County, and his brother, Roger Weidner, filed the suit last fall against Novell, Eyring Research and Bruce Bastian and Allen Ashton, formerly of WordPerfect.

Speaking to the Deseret News, Wydner claims a language translation software that he developed back in 1977 was inspired by passages within the Book of Mormon in which the Ancient Nephites were described as having the ability to decipher any human language through visual cues. In addition to alleging that his software was stolen, Wydner credits his software for ending the Cold War between the United States and Russia.

After working as a linguist at the Pentagon and translating messages for the Central Intelligence Agency, Wydner claims he was recruited by Brigham Young University to conduct research on what was to be known as his "Cost-Effective Machine Translation" software. Pointing to articles done in 1978 by the Deseret News and the Wall Street Journal, Wydner claims he was a part of a project to work on translation software.

While at the Eyring Institute, a language translation research group that had its start at Brigham Young University, Wydner said he faced ridicule for his methods by fellow researchers. "I just couldn't work there because people were making fun of me," Wydner said. He also claimed to have taught courses based on his system at BYU.



BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said in checking with those associated with the Eyring Institute, which has not been a part of BYU for the last 13 years, Jenkins said there was no recollection of Wydner working there. A search of staff and associate instructor records also yielded no proof that Wydner taught courses at BYU from 1972 to 1973.



But, according to Wydner's suit, it was around 1978 that programmers at the Eyring Institute began using his program without his knowledge. Wydner alleges that several programmers, including WordPerfect founders Bastian and Ashton, used his code to write one of the first highly popular word processing softwares of its time. In addition, programmers also allegedly used the code to devise a missile guidance system for the U.S. Air Force, those programmers would later go on, Wydner claims, to form Novell Corp.



Wydner's brother, Roger Weidner, said he is an attorney in Oregon who is helping to file the suit. Weidner said he estimated that Novell had earned about 8 billion in profits annually. Based on that estimate, Weidner said he came up with the multibillion figure for damages.



"That's basically a guesstimate of what they earned over the past couple of years," Weidner said.



But in the face of such outrageous allegations, Wydner said he is simply out to claim credit and profits that he says are rightfully his. When asked why he waited well over two decades to file his suit, Wydner said he was unaware of the alleged scheme to steal his software until December 1999 when a former Eyring programmer came forward and told him the story.



Wydner is seeking damages totaling $40 billion, for claims of breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud.



Yet despite the hefty price tag on this suit, none of the defendants appear to be taking it too seriously. After nearly four months, neither Novell, nor the founders of WordPerfect have bothered to file a response to the suit.



"We have received a copy of the complaint and we believe that it's frivolous," said Novell spokesman Kevan Barney. Barney said Novell attorneys could find no direct claim in the suit against Novell and that Novell planned to seek the dismissal of the suit.

Now let's get the gang's side of the story.

On May l3, 2003 Bruce Wydner, and his brother Roger Weidner, appeared in the Utah County Courtroom of Judge Lynn Davis, in Provo, Utah. Bruce Wydner and Roger Weidner were in court to be heard on the Summary Judgment Motion they had filed in the Breach of Contract, Fraud and Unjust Enrichment action they had filed against Novell, Word-Perfect, Eyring Research, Bruce Bastian and Alan Ashton. Appearing in support of Bruce and Roger were 70 concerned citizens from around the country including Senator Trent Lott’s cousin Jesse Lott, Oregon newspaper publisher Larry Jackson, Sheriff Mack and Utah radio talk show host Tom Draschel.

In the complaint Bruce Wydner stated that he is the inventor of cost effective machine translation, the key technology allowing the development of the internet. The complaint charges that in l978, in violation of the non-compete, non-circumvent, non-disclosure contract Wydner had with Eyring Research and its employees the technology was pirated by Eyring Research to fulfill the contract Eyring had with the United States Air Force.

Then Bruce Bastian, an employee of Eyring, and Allen Ashton, with the consent of Eyring, but without the knowledge of Wydner, unlawfully appropriated Wydner’s intellectual property to start Word Perfect. The complaint also charges that former Eyring Research employees Mr. Fairclough, Mr. Nyberg, Mr. Christiansen and a fourth party also obtained the technology to start Novell by threatening Eyring Research President Ron Hanson. The complaint states that the four founders of Novell told Hanson that if they were denied the technology they would tell Wydner that Eyring had unlawfully permitted the technology to be turned over to Word-Perfect.

Before the hearing, outside the courtroom, Bruce Wydner’s brother, and co-complainant, Roger Weidner, the l998 Oregon Reform Party candidate for Governor and a former attorney and public prosecutor, told the supporters assembled that he has spent the last l5 years fighting the pervasive corruption in the Oregon court system. Roger Weidner told the supporters that what he has seen repeated over and over again is innocent people having their children, their lands and other property shamelessly stolen by corrupt attorneys, bureaucrats or judges. He said no matter how blatant the theft the victims complaint is always dismissed on one pretense or another so the victim can never get their case heard by a jury of their peers as the law requires. Weidner said all of these victims are being denied fundamental "equal protection" and "due process" of law guaranteed to the citizens of Oregon under the Oregon Constitution and the Constitution of the United States.

Frances Weidner, the 93 year old mother of Roger and Bruce, was introduced to the supporters. Roger told those present that without his mother’s steadfast support over the past l5 years it would have been impossible for him to have had the success he has had in cleaning up the corruption in the Oregon court system. Roger told how his mother, weighing less than l00 pounds, had repeatedly intimidated corrupt attorneys and judges by openly confronting them about their corruption in the courtroom. Roger related one incident in l992 where he was being violently arrested, and choked to the ground, for trying to speak in court that his mother attempted to kick one of the arresting guards while her arms were being held behind her back by Deputy Multnomah County Sheriff Rita Berman. In another incident he related that in l994 his mother chased former Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, Ed Petersen, out of the Multnomah County Courthouse after he ordered the arrest of Roger for insisting on speaking in court on the record.

Roger told the supporters to remain standing when they entered the courtroom until the judge came in. In the courtroom, before the judge came in, Roger told those assembled that they were the sovereign political authority in the state. He said that the judge and the guards are all public employees who, as a condition of their employment, have taken an oath of office to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of the citizens appearing as parties in court. While Roger Weidner was telling the supporters how his brothers intellectual property had been pirated by Bruce Bastian, who was sitting nearby at the counsel table, his attorney John Mullen, lost his composure and angrily said "you’re a liar" to Bruce Wydner. Mullen then in a defiant tone contemptuously asked Bruce Wydner "what is it we stole?". Bruce Wydner, without a moments hesitation responded, "automatic parshing" which is the key technoloy that allows the internet to function. Roger told the supporters that they were there to see that he and Bruce were able to make a full record of how Bruce’s intellectual property had been pirated by the defendants and used to generate billions of dollars in illicit profits for the defendants.

After Judge Davis entered the courtroom he said he was first going to hear the defendant’s Motion To Dismiss the breach of contract claim. Judge Davis, acting like an attorney for the defendants, challenged whether Roger Weidner and Bruce Wydner could bring the action since the contract was between Weidner Communications Inc., owned by their younger brother Stephen, and Eyring. Roger pointed out the contract was a third party beneficiary contract entered between Weidner Communication and Eyring Research to protect Bruce Wydner’s intellectual property.

After attorney Mullen spoke, Roger Weidner addressed the court saying his brother was the world recognized inventor of "automatic parshing, which is the technology that allows the internet to operate. He said Bruce Wydner had contracted with Eyring to do some technical work to perfect his ability to do automatic machine translation. He told the judge that his brother’s office at Eyring had been padlocked in l978 in order to block Bruce Wydner from removing his intellectual property. Roger told the judge that it was not until November of l999 that Bruce Wydner was told by the Harmon family, founders of Eyring Research, that the Air Force had ordered them to seize, for national security purposes, his brother’s intellectual property.

Bruce Wydner then addressed the court telling the judge that he was the world recognized inventor of "automatic parshing." He then turned and pointed at Bruce Bastian, who was sitting behind his attorney Mullen, and said: "In l978 I contracted with Eyring to see if they could produce cost effective machine translation. I was about to fire Eyring because none of their programmers were linguist. Eyring President Ron Hansen said his $5.00 an hour programmer Bruce Bastian could speak Italian and would that do. I told Hansen that Italian and Spanish were similar and so continued working with Eyring and Bastian. Because Eyring had signed the no-compete, non-circumvent agreement I had no idea that Bastian was training all of the rest of the programmers at Eyring how to use my technology in order to be able to collect 96 million dollars from the Air Force." Weidner said that although he had a strange reaction when he told LDS President Kimbal in l982 that he had invented "automatic parsing," it was not until l999 that he finally became aware of the fact that both Word-Perfect and Novell were created out of the technology he had invented.

As Bruce Wydner and Roger Weidner were condemning Bastian for his thievery he sat behind his attorney, head down and his complexion alternating between a bright red and a dull purple hue physically reflecting his obvious embarrassment and shame. Except for the momentary outburst by Mullen, before the hearing started, neither Bastian or Mullen questioned the truthfulness of the charges that both Bruce Wydner and Roger Weidner were leveling against Bruce Bastian, Alan Ashton, Word-Perfect, Eyring Research or Novell. After the hearing was concluded a very shaken Bruce Bastian left the courtroom under the protection of one of the Deputy Sheriffs present.

Did Roger Weidner use his influence as an ex-prosecutor to get a couple of Navy JAG officers to forge a signature to some false confessions?
