The United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA,Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’
The origins of this ingenious strategy trace back to a secret Pentagon-sponsored group, that for the last two decades has functioned as a bridge between the US government and elites across the business, industry, finance, corporate, and media sectors. The group has allowed some of the most powerful special interests in corporate America to systematically circumvent democratic accountability and the rule of law to influence government policies, as well as public opinion in the US and around the world. The results have been catastrophic: NSA mass surveillance, a permanent state of global war, and a new initiative to transform the US military into Skynet.

This is a very detailed report with names, dates, organizations, etc...
Elections? They don't matter.
Professional sports? More like pro wrestling then we want to admit.
Capitalism? Oh ... you mean Socialism.
The News Business? They used to call it "advertising".
The Entertainment Business? They used to call it "propaganda".
History? Some of it's true ( I do believe Hitler killed 6 million Jews) but a fair amount of history is just story-telling.
The Internet? It's a tool of control by tyrants who manipulate the world.
I have made a special effort to delete anything related to Google from my computer. That Chrome crap is particularly hard to keep from infesting your computer during updates of other products.
I’ve found that when Adobe tries to update itself, it tries to import Chrome of some sort. When this happened my one-touch click on hyperlinks from Outlook or Outlook Express disappeared and some other funky file relate clicking stuff happened. It also affected double clicking on XLS spreadsheets. It wasn’t related to IE in any way.
I had to go each time (until I learned it was Adobe sabotaging me with Chrome) to MS and find the cleaner utility for it.
There IS a reason this Google crap is so pervasive and persistent.
Dr. Ahmed is also the leading stockholder of the Reynold's Aluminum Company's "Reynold's Wrap" Division, the world's leading manufacturer of "tinfoil".
/S
Dr. Ahmed also is a major contributor to The Guardian (no sarcasm)
Say what you will about the CIA, they seem to stay very, very busy.
bump for later
That sort of mind-boggling naivete is rampant, even among people who share our perspective.
It is pretty black helicopter-ish.
When will the truth about Facebook’s origins emerge?
You mean not believing crazy lefty conspiracy theories written by a crazy Muslim at some Satanic site is being naïve?
There's a pretty simple explanation for most of the mess described in the article. Back in the 90's the venture capitalists developed their own version of "crowd funding", namely that numerous deep pockets investors would back a startup and that startup would become the winner in some new area when it went public. The investors would get all their investments back (early money time 100, later money times 10) and they would start over and do it again. That is of course oversimplified and there were competitions regardless of the cooperation, but the big money in the markets could support several competitors.
Come 9/11 (and even before 9/11), a ton of taxpayer money got sunk into "counterterrorism" and associated data gathering. The data was gathered in huge volumes with needs for new sources and new ways of handling it. The key is that big taxpayer (now Fed printed) bucks were available for those companies. They would have open discussions like the ones pointed out in the article to better align the tech sector ideas with government needs all in an effort to tap into the gravy train.
It is the new way things are done. There are analytical tools at the forefront which have a giant thirst for new data sources and comb "open source" like the web including forums like this one for tidbits to add to the database. The current market dynamics are a little different than described in the article. There are huge commercial markets for these analytical tools and those markets are the ultimate driver of venture funding although the government largess is still a big part of it.
Great post.
It’s not sarcasm though.
I remember the early search engines of the Internet very well. The old Yahoo! directory. AltaVista. HotBot. Lycos. Suddenly they were driven into obscurity by Google, which literally overnight became a verb for "searching the Web."
It's quite plausible that the government realized early on that of all the search engines, Google had the secret sauce by which to quickly capture and organize the information of the world.
If so, not a bad deal for Sergey and Brin who get to skateboard down the corridors of their giant company with an unlimited amount of money to come up with silly stuff like Google Glasses and cars that drive by themselves.

“Still, nothing is as bad as IE.”
At least Chrome after it takes over, it works and you can log onto to your internet provider instead of getting the spinning circles or the circles when you try to go FR, your bank or some other site after you log on.
IE is miserable trying to use Amazon or even trying to pay the wretched Amazon store card or any of Comcast’s step children like their phone system and email. Chrome works fast.
We got new android phones and an android pad for Christmas. It is a riot trying to install apps with Google trying to get permission to control everything on your phones/pads and computers. We just keep saying no until the app works. I’m sure they are monitoring everything, but, since, we didn’t give them permission, digital lawyers will be able sue Mother Goggle in the future.
