Written by the author in the very article you wrote.

Since the guy who made up the story said it was fake, i'm going to go with fake.

The problem I have with all those google conspiracies is, NOBODY is forced to use Google.
Also I think it's very well known that the NSA and other intelligence agencies have YEARS of experience in data mining. The NSA really doesn't need Google's technology for its operations.

In what way is google more destructive than an H-bomb?? The article is very interesting, but lacks hard facts.

I can't find anything even sugesting the Daily Internet Clarion of New York exist.

That being said, I'm sure it is going to be encompassed into the conspiracy.

Additionally, I'd love some proof that that author ever existed and that he died in a hit and run.

The whole thing looks like a joke based on an old sys admin joke.

Well, first of all, that article seems very.....strange. Even more questionable is the fact that it claims Google is part of something called Operation Prometheus under the NSA



As far as I know, NASA is the one operating Operation Prometheus and it has nothing to do with data mining at all, much less anything dealing with internet search engines. Prometheus is, in fact, the project dedicated to the development of nuclear spacecraft propulsion.



Also, to the poster who started this thread, one Masta609, might I suggest the use of the external source tags ("[ex ]" and "[ /ex]"). Especially since it looks like you just copied and pasted right from the article, it's generally good to avoid possible copyright issues and whatnot.

I am in no position to judge google or the facts of this story. I cannot prove or disprove any of the stated facts in the initial post. What I can say, however, is that google, yahoo, search engines in general, are in the unique position of being the "turnstile" to the internet. They in a very real way able control access to information. We all know that in these times information is the key to success. Information is the key to business, the key to industrial and, certainly, the key to military success. Information, all information, is the heart of all national security operations. Information is intelligence. It only stands to reason, therefore, that if you control information -- intelligence -- you wield an amazing amount of power.

Whether or not this story is true or not, it does serve to clearly point out that google's worth is invaluable in any war where intelligence and information are the vital targets.

What a crock - sure google will blacklist a site if forced to do so (copyright issues, child porn, etc.) but the spooks are in on it..?? You can still search for just about anything your heart desires and last time I checked, the net and web sites were up long before yahoo and google were around. You just have to get the word out in other ways.

You can also build your own search engine with open source tools and go at this yourself - it's not cheap or easy though and the barrier to entry is pretty big....

I'm not buying into this yet although a good question is does google actually store their seach data at an atomic level i.e. with ip of searcher and phrases entered and then resulting click. Be a boatload of data to have to muck with....

UofCinLA, telecom companies already have servers huge enough to store all the data (including voice mail) of all their customers... why could'nt the NSA afford such storage devices?

And while I think the idea of Google waging war against all websites that are even slightly anti-US is over the top, ties between Google, the Bush admnistration and the NSA have been documented in the past. Same thing for Yahoo, which thoroughly uses web beacons and cookies to spy on the activity of users, and is also full compliant with the ECHELON system.

And some of you say that we have a choice in our web searches? Alright, so can anyone find me a good search engine that's not affiliated with either Google or Yahoo??? Even Wikipedia does business with Google!

LMFAO!!!

Here is a supposed picture of the guy,

I don't beleive this. (not as in OMG, but I think its fake)
Because Google uses spiders, automated browsers that just search the internet for key words.

Hey Google just told the Fed's to shove it when asked to pony up records on child porn stuff. So are the feds in bed with Google or what - this latest salvo makes me think no - if they were, we would never hear about it....

Methinks this wave of "Google Hysteria" is sponsered in part(or in totality) by Microsoft

LOL

People will believe anything, unless it's written in big black bold type.

Satire!

That's all this is guys. Sorry to hurt anyones feelings.

Edit: By thw way for anyone wondering who's in that pic, it's Ale Gore, Frank Zappa, and I can't remember the other guy's name.

LMFAO I was not in a normal state of mind when I posted this. Let me make a correction.

It's Ale Gore, George Harison, and Gerald Ford. I need to get more sleep.

Who knows that could be smoke a mirrors to decieve people. Maybe the govt is already in with google, or maybe they don't need to be as the control and can monitor the internet at the physical layer

As someone else mentioned Google supplies other search engines with thier search capabilites like Yahoo for instance if I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure MS does their own thing with search technology so there arer basically 2 search engines: MS and Google

If Google was a govt project what about the founders? Are they agents that were choosen to be the public face of it? What about all the money the stock IPO has made for them? Do they get to keep it or is it used for more covert operations, black budget items etc?
