Google’s robots and creeping militarization

Google CEO Larry Page has rapidly positioned Google to become an indispensable U.S. military contractor.

Google recently purchased Boston Dynamics, a robotics pioneer that produces amazing humanoid robots for the U.S. Defense Department.

This development invites attention to Google’s broader military contracting ambitions — especially since Boston Dynamics is the eighth robotics company that Google has bought in the last six months.

...

In 2012, Google hired Regina Dugan, the head of DOD’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), DOD’s in-house “moon-shot” idea factory. At the time a Google spokesperson said: “Regina is a technical pioneer who brought the future of technology to the military during her time at DARPA. She will be a real asset to Google.”

Simply, few people could have a better insider knowledge of the U.S. military’s future technology needs that Google could exploit than Ms. Dugan.

Third, Google has a long history of working for, and with, the NSA and the other U.S. intelligence services.

In 2004, Google purchased satellite mapping company Keyhole, which was strategically important enough to be funded by the CIA’s investment fund In-Q-Tel.

Google turned the aptly-named “Keyhole” surveillance capability into the wildly popular Google Earth and Google Maps service used by over a billion people and over one million websites.

...if Google goes full hippie on the military it could be much worse as they might sabotage rather than retain.

LOL, there are no hippies at Google - never were, never will be.

Those people are as hard as nails.

Thanks CS.

So was the article about Facebook instead of Google? Or did the article disappear?

I was particularly interested in the analysis of Google revenue.

Appreciate the help!

[Chickensoup]

I could not find the article specifically about the google business model that doesn’t support its income reports.

Thanks for your effort!

Looks like Google has completely abandoned the "don't be evil" thing.

That thing is a joke considering who has come out of Harvard-Stanford in the past and some of the things they've done.

What is the DAILY BELL?

A guy working for new world order's "fallback strategy" of gold-backed money.

The fallback strategy lures in people who are aware of new world order and very much want to end its grip on national governments via its central banking system, which usurps the power of governments to create their own money and thus forces governments to borrow from the banking system when government spending outstrips tax revenue.

The strategy lays out many factual details about new world order, which gives the fallback hucksters credibility with people who have some sense. If the huckster is openly speaking out AGAINST new world order - then one tends to believe that the huckster is not working for new world order.

But then the strategy has the "solution" presented by the huckster fall back to the old limit on governments creating money, that they must buy gold - that new world order controls the market for - to "back" it.

New world order thus promotes the myth that "fiat" money is somehow "bad", that if somehow money that says on its face that there is gold "backing" it, then people will have more "faith" in the money, and that government can not produce too much money so as to devalue it. Of course, "faith" in the money is dictated solely by its purchasing power; all that really matters is that it is accepted as payment. And the Spanish Empire inflation evidences the fact that governments can devalue money that is "backed" by gold or even made of gold.

I understand the goldbug proclivities of the Bell. But the writing and ideas are interesting. Certainly pegs the NWO and the activities within. Nice to hear a voice from Europe also.
