INSURGE INTELLIGENCE,
a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project, breaks the
exclusive story of how the United States intelligence community funded,
nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world
through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google
was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups
co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’
The
origins of this ingenious strategy trace back to a secret
Pentagon-sponsored group, that for the last two decades has functioned
as a bridge between the US government and elites across the business,
industry, finance, corporate, and media sectors. The group has allowed
some of the most powerful special interests in corporate America to
systematically circumvent democratic accountability and the rule of law
to influence government policies, as well as public opinion in the US
and around the world. The results have been catastrophic: NSA mass
surveillance, a permanent state of global war, and a new initiative to
transform the US military into Skynet."
