Julian Assange stumbled onto the evil nature of Google earlier than most:
Julian Assange would later reference this article when writing his own: Google is not what it seems: This whole thing is a surprisingly good read – and Assange shows off his skills as a writer. It’s worth your time, so despite its length, don’t skip it.
There was one point I definitely had to laugh at, however – given what we now know about Schmidt:
As the interviewee I was expected to do most of the talking. I sought to guide them into my worldview. To their credit, I consider the interview perhaps the best I have given. I was out of my comfort zone and I liked it. We ate and then took a walk in the grounds, all the while on the record. I asked Eric Schmidt to leak US government information requests to WikiLeaks, and he refused, suddenly nervous, citing the illegality of disclosing Patriot Act requests. And then as the evening came on it was done and they were gone, back to the unreal, remote halls of information empire, and I was left to get back to my work. That was the end of it, or so I thought.
Julian will then go through and document a list to ties between Google Execs and the Deep State – including, what should be for us, an uncomfortable level of familiarity with the NSA. In the end, Julian Assange would conclude by calling Google a “burgeoning digital superstate.”
This was written several years ago, and I think it’s clear now that Assange’s suspicions, while correct, still fall short of the scale of the treason seen manifested in reality. Google – at the bleeding edge of tech – metastasized during this time, courting and assisting #TheCabal in their insidious endeavors.
It wasn’t some spontaneous thing, either. It was an asset funded, supported, and groomed by the Deep State, for Deep State purposes.
And remember, it’s not the only one, and it still hasn’t achieved all its goals. Things would have gotten much worse, but for the election of Trump. They almost succeeded in the creation of their systems of human surveillance and control.
Speaking of which, Google is trying to track all offline purchasing as well.
For the past year, select Google advertisers have had access to a potent new tool to track whether the ads they ran online led to a sale at a physical store in the U.S. That insight came thanks in part to a stockpile of Mastercard transactions that Google paid for. But most of the two billion Mastercard holders aren’t aware of this behind-the-scenes tracking. That’s because the companies never told the public about the arrangement.
Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Mastercard Inc. brokered a business partnership during about four years of negotiations, according to four people with knowledge of the deal, three of whom worked on it directly. The alliance gave Google an unprecedented asset for measuring retail spending, part of the search giant’s strategy to fortify its primary business against onslaughts from Amazon.com Inc. and others.
But the deal, which has not been previously reported, could raise broader privacy concerns about how much consumer data technology companies like Google quietly absorb.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
