September 27th marked Google’s 25th birthday. In commemoration, the technology giant issued a statement, thanking its users for their “curiosity” over the past two-and-a-half decades. CEO Sundar Pichai said it was “an enormous privilege to reach this milestone, and we haven’t done it alone.” He credited his company being “what it is today” due to its employees, partners, and “most importantly, all the people who use our products.”
It is perpetually nauseating the manner in which these people act on our behalf for “national security” and yet, we have NEVER been less secure. Stellar reporting, Kit. Thank-you.
Wasn't the Internet itself made available for the public for the same reason? And people volunteer to provide more data on Skype, Fakebook et al. that serve the very same purpose...
This background is key today for everyone to put events (aka "emergencies" such as geophysical and political) into context, particularly since msm concentrates its efforts in obfuscating them.
Very informative indeed. Thanks again Kit for taking the cover off a nefarious man hole. Without this information there is no way an average Joe could make an informed decision about how to proceed. Cohen was the poison in the intelligence communities fangs.
It is not surprising that the security community helped fund Google from its earliest days. That cozy relationship between universities and government agencies (including the CIA) has existed since the end of World War II. When 9/11 happened, surveillance expanded, and civil rights and privacy took a back seat to the war on terror. Instead of these programs fading away, they have only grown stronger.
The reality is that the very space Google and Apple created for surveillance is the same space sophisticated hackers exploit to gain total control, allowing them to constantly track and spy on their victims.
It is frightening to realize that this relationship is cozier than ever, and history has shown that governments will abuse this power whenever they have access to such technology.
Nobody knows, nobody cares, or they choose to remain silent—and that silence is permission for the abuse to continue.
Top notch again Kit. I’ve oft heard the plausible rumour, but never seen/reas anything this concrete.
Ooof it’s pretty nauseating to think what they know and understand about me.
I remember being in that beta gmail group through a mate. And being excited about it. That must be 22 years ago now if not more.
Thanks man. Keep well!
Cheers mate!

I've known some of this a long time, but not the specifics. Great work as usual.
I would be surprised if any US oligarch of the last 30 years does NOT have significant ties to the IC.
The Empire will allow you to get obscenely wealthy if you give them a back door to your customers.
Hi Kit, great piece!
Can we publish it in The Light paper next month?
Cheers,
Darren.
Thank you Darren! Yes you can.
Thank you so much!
Peace,
Darren.
Thanks 🙏 for another interesting, albeit disturbing article, Kit.
Cheers Dominic!

Excellent article I have never read covered in such depth before.
James Corbett has gone deeper than this in his silicon valley series.
He is excellent.

I assumed the Google/Spookle connections common knowledge, without knowing the "granularity" of those ties.
Thank you very much for doing this research. I am low level Google subcontractor trying to get out and go pro here.
Every succesful company was created and has the suport of Uncle Sam’s agencies.
Good work, but I wrote about this in 2018 under my pen name.

They’re all fronts.. Apple, Tesla, etc. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are actors.
