Wikileaks Calls Out Tech Companies Who Haven't Responded To Their Offer To Help Against CIA Attacks

Wikileaks and Julian Assange are calling out tech companies who have not responded to his offer to help ward off CIA Attacks. Of course, one such company who is shying away from help is Google, but Assange says that may have something to do with government contracts they may have.

I was just going to say that Google does work with the government program, DARPA, but actually I just found an article stating Google was pulling out of robotics, which is an area in which DARPA excels.

*Jarrett’s involvement in Iran is cause for concern for three additional reasons–two minor and one major. One minor reason is that she was born there. That should not automatically disqualify anyone, of course, any more than being born in the Soviet Union would have disqualified an anti-Soviet dissident. But Jarrett was born in 1956 to American expatriates in the aftermath of the CIA-assisted coup that deposed Mohammad Mossadegh.
