Clinton email reveals: Google sought overthrow of Syria's Assad

Google in 2012 sought to help insurgents overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to State Department emails receiving fresh scrutiny this week.

Messages between former secretary of state Hillary Clinton's team and one of the company's executives detailed the plan for Google to get involved in the region.

"Please keep close hold, but my team is planning to launch a tool ... that will publicly track and map the defections in Syria and which parts of the government they are coming from,"

Jared Cohen, the head of what was then the company's "Google Ideas" division, wrote in a July 2012 email to several top Clinton officials.

"Our logic behind this is that while many people are tracking the atrocities, nobody is visually representing and mapping the defections, which we believe are important in encouraging more to defect and giving confidence to the opposition," Cohen said, adding that the plan was for Google to surreptitiously give the tool to Middle Eastern media.

"Given how hard it is to get information into Syria right now, we are partnering with Al-Jazeera who will take primary ownership over the tool we have built, track the data, verify it, and broadcast it back into Syria," he said.

"Please keep this very close hold and let me know if there is anything [else] you think we need to account for or think about before we launch. We believe this can have an important impact," Cohen concluded.

The message was addressed to deputy secretary of state Bill Burns; Alec Ross, a senior Clinton advisor; and Clinton's deputy chief of staff, Jake Sullivan. Sullivan subsequently forwarded Cohen's proposal to Clinton, describing it as "a pretty cool idea."

Cohen worked as a low-level staffer at the State Department until 2010, when he was hired to lead Google Ideas, but was tied to the use of social media to incite social uprisings even before he left the department. He once reportedly asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to hold off of conducting system maintenance that officials believed could have impeded a brief 2009 uprising in Iran.

The exchange on Syria was highlighted by Wikileaks on Saturday.

1. This is a fascist technocracy in action, the Deep State - those who REALLY run america.
2. This is unConstitutional, immoral, and illegal.

For those who don't already know, google *IS* the NSA. Not even FreeRepublic avoids google and its analytics. Google is now outed as also part of State and the CIA. They partnered with jihadi news organization al-Jazeera to surreptitously use the "tool" to both acquire and redistribute information that cost people their lives.

As if further proof ISIS is a CIA creation and it and US special forces work together to overthrow Assad...

While Cohen seemed to consider his company's effort as helpful to American interests, the effort to overthrow Assad helped spur the rise of the Islamic State, which eventually filled a vaccuum resulting from Assad's loss of control over of Syria.
And if anyone thinks this litany of fascist monsters and killers who throw elections, and overthrow and assassinate leaders aren't busy at work on the US election..., you are wildly ignorant.

Should Trump prevail at the convention, he will face 100x more danger.

May G-d soon strike all these Evil Bastards, forever erasing their names from the Book of Life.

I got news for you brother, if everything we say here gets catalogued, we BETTER win this election.

Or we might get to know each other in person down the line, under uncomfortable circumstances.

My Daughter is a computer programer.

I mentioned the potential of Google to throw elections, particularily of Obama.

She suddenly got very quite, and did not want to talk about it.

I am pretty sure she got caught up in the “hope and change” B.S., as many in her crowd did.

She is a superb daughter; but the level of propaganda in that generation is enormous.

Actually, supporting an uprising in Iran is a very good thing.

The problem wasn’t support for that uprising, it was that Obama didn’t support it and allowed all those protestors to get killed.

Google execs were at the “stop Trump” secret meeting on Sea Island along with Ryan, Rove and various leftist honchos whom all share the amnesty, open borders, cheap labor agenda, we can see clearly here they are working for Hillary and the Clintonistas and they have an international identity as their moniker and not an American identity, they are running their company as a data mining and digital spy organization of the establishment such as the Clinton’s, and there is NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, Google is data mining and digitally spying and gdthering enemies lists on the names and activities of many of you on this very forum right now on behalf of the likes of Hillary Clinton and this is a global operation not national and Google is of a totalitarian mindset.

ISIS was NOT a CIA creation. ISIS existed in 2002 under its original leader, Zarqawi, in Baghdad, Iraq... only the name changed since then, the members were the same.
Zarqawi formally joined his group with that of Iraqi General al Dhouri after the US invasion. Al Dhouri ran his operatives out of Iraq’s fellow Baathist state Syria, where much of Saddam Hussein’s money had been stashed. After this merger they changed the organization’s name again before renaming it ISIS. After Zarqawi was killed his part of the organization came under Baghdaddi , Zarqawi’s deputy.
ISIS has always been tied with Iraq’s old Baathist intelligence agency which was tied with the Russian intelligence agencies. Russia’s in turn are tied to Iran’s, the country through which al Qaeda and Zarqawi’s group transit to get to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and back.

Some people think Wolfram Alpha is better.

If you're concerned Google tracking, install Abine Do Not Track. It's free.
