How the CIA made Google
Medium ^ | Nafeez Ahmed

Posted on 01/24/2015 7:58:44 AM PST by Enlightened1

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.

There is something to that; they do tend to be richer in worldly goods. But not THAT much richer. Not enough to explain all the disparity.

Try to sell to conservatives a useless product to make him/her feel good about themselves and your advertising company will go broke.
Sell it to perverts and you’ll get rich.

Their wealth isn’t so important as is how easy it is to get it from them!

There’s still only so much money they have. They are not issued magic wands, and whether you want to see a pun in that is up to you. None intended. When the budget ends, so does the capability of purchasing frivolities.

As for conservatives there certainly is a genre of product that they find gainful. They often have to do with self defense and hunting.

I certainly don’t seem to be making my point well!
The advertisers who support Google, TV, and other media make the most money from products that have the largest share of advertising in their price.
These are, naturally, things people have the least use for- or they wouldn’t have the high ad cost.
‘Fashionable’ boots pay higher ad costs than ‘practical’ boots.’Fashionable’ anything pay higher ad costs than ‘practical’ anything.
The opportunity to manipulate people into paying more is the only reason advertisers have to support the media.
People who are more easily manipulated, like perverts, are just media’s most profitable product.

Off point some- but since you brought it up- when people reach the end of what they’ll spend from their budgets the media’s news programs can convince them to have the government spend more for advertisers to get their cut from- media has plenty of good fiscal reasons to despise conservatives!
But, admittedly, I can’t convince anyone LOL!

I was talking about the naivete of trusting Google. Nothing more.

“The ip server address tells them who we are.”

Think personal VPN, with rotating login cities. Easy and affordable.

"If you aren't the paying customer, you are the product being sold! "

It's always true, not just of the internet, and can't be said enough.
