content: That would be an accurate conclusion. A more comprehensive summary might go: Through his interaction with and observance of Google representatives, Julian Assange asserts that Google is now firmly entrenched within the American geopolitical machine. Assange believes Eric Schmidt has led the charge, or has at least been a main player, since his Washington, DC birth, family ties to politics, Princeton education, and success in earlier Silicon Valley provided him with the know-how to connect to powerful figures throughout the world. From lobbyists to government contracts, the evidence is all pointing to Google techno-hegemony in top-tier capitalist democracies around the world. Assange points to some evidence and power players. The main focus, apparently, being the military industrial complex of the United States and possibly others around the world. Assange admits, "One way of looking at it is that it’s just business". Sidling up next to powerful governments can be a profitable, protectionist strategy for large corporations. Yet, it also blurs the line between industry and government, one that almost always leads to corruption. While the official story is that leading bureaucrats, private and public, respect this line of integrity, anyone with half a brain can see it is a lie. Assange believes Google has become a major power player. We would probably be wise to agree.
