I disagree: Von Neumann was certainly a great mathematician and a seminal computer scientist, but his vision and political beliefs don't fit Falken's ones. Von Neumann was a strong supporter of the use of nuclear bombs: in WW2 he collaborated with the atom bomb team (he calculated at which height the explosion would cause most damage); after that he supported a preventive nuclear bombing of USSR, and spent so much effort in nuclear tests he developed bone cancer and died. Much different from Falken which refused to collaborate with the US authorities once he knew his work would be used for war scopes.
