A number of press outlets have reported recently that the Pentagon is working with a private contractor to monitor the internet searches of Department of Defense personnel. Certain searches are apparently now considered signs of domestic violent extremism. Surprisingly – even seemingly innocuous searches such as “the truth about black lives matter” can now be considered indicators of white supremacism and result in your designation as a threat to the republic.

AnTheFacts @AnTheFacts It all circles back to Obama!! Pentagon contractor investigating 'extremism' says BLM web search raises concerns about White supremacy.. According to Defense One, the contractor Moonshot CVE, which has ties to the Obama Foundation,.. https://www.foxnews.com/us/pentagon-moonshot-black-lives-matter (end insert)

All this is true. It is a matter of record. The Pentagon is employing this private contractor to monitor “extremism” in its ranks. It is also, as usual, not the “half of it.” The private company in question is called Moonshot. It is run by a lady named Vidhya Ramalingam, and she and her company don’t just monitor what you do online. They control what you see and what you are told.

What is Moonshot?

Several years ago, Moonshot in cooperation with Jigsaw, developed something called the Redirect Method. Jigsaw was created by and is controlled by Google. It was originally known as Google Ideas, but its name was changed in an attempt to shake the effect of bad press concerning the company’s focus on censorship and the manipulation of search results. The Guardian referred to Jigsaw as Google’s “intelligence agency.”

Essentially, Redirect works as follows. Based on its algorithms and what it is told to look for it detects and intercepts online searches. Then, instead of directing you to the information that matches your query, it sends you somewhere else. It shows you what Moonshot, Jigsaw, and

Proves my point.

If it is a foreign company, how did they get a US gov contract to monitor US military web traffic?!

The answer is that foreigners are PREFERRED by the people who refer to themselves as the “US government”.

People will tell me that’s not true. Sorry. Been there, seen that.

A quick search of the web indicates they are very tight with Google

Moonshot began in 2015 with a simple, insurgent strategy: Use Google’s ad platform—and the personal data it collects—to redirect people away from extremist movements and toward more constructive content. The idea, called the Redirect Method, was developed in partnership with Google, and widely touted as a way to reach people searching for jihadist content, targeting young men who were just getting into ISIS propaganda, or more radicalized people who might be Googling for information on how to sneak across the border into Syria. The idea is to steer potential extremists away—known as counterradicalization—or to help people who are deep down a rabbit hole find their way out through deradicalization. That might mean connecting them with a mentor or counselor, possibly a former extremist.

They quickly moved from ISIS extremists, to selling their wares to many different countries all looking for their own "extremists." Hence their adoption by the US Dod and State Department. Moonshot as several UK Hedge funds as their sponsors, and work closely with the Google "Jigsaw" incubator, which some have called "Google's spy agency."

The bendover boys at the Pentagon?

What could go wrong?

Ramalingam = Rama...Hindu Supreme God

Lingam= A stylized phallus worshiped as a symbol of the god of destruction Shiva.

I mean, how much more warning do you need?
