By Dr Nafeez Ahmed – Insurge Intelligence: As
our governments push to increase their powers, INSURGE INTELLIGENCE can
now reveal the vast extent to which the US intelligence community is
implicated in nurturing the web platforms we know today, for the precise
purpose of utilizing the technology as a mechanism to fight a global
‘information war’ — a war to legitimize the power of the few over the
rest of us. The lynchpin of this story is the corporation that in many
ways defines the 21st century with its unobtrusive omnipresence: Google.
Google styles itself
as a friendly, funky, user-friendly tech firm that rose to prominence
through a combination of skill, luck, and genuine innovation. This is
true. But it is a mere fragment of the story. In reality, Google is a
smokescreen behind which lurks the US military-industrial complex.
The inside story of
Google’s rise, revealed here for the first time, opens a can of worms
that goes far beyond Google, unexpectedly shining a light on the
existence of a parasitical network driving the evolution of the US
national security apparatus, and profiting obscenely from its operation.
