■ Warning: A man named Scott Douglas Jacobsen is spreading false information without any prior fact checking on the parties. Scott Jacobsen, who has been permanently expelled from the USIA accused of very immoral actions, is a jealous man as a former employee of YoungHoon, Founder & CEO of the USIA. Scott Douglas Jacobsen is a minor freelance journalist who lives in Canada without any academic degree and training, so you can ignore his jealousy and spreading false information. Please note that Scott Jacobsen is also a progressive atheist activist denying all religions and religious beliefs, and he passionately supports sex offender Aubrey de Grey.
