Foiled Again
---FLASH!---
Google gets the treatment (hacked 1/16/2010).
Google-San say, search provider who get in bed with Chinese dog-bots wake up with email
fleas---
Remember ‘Mister Rogers
Neighborhood’? Are you living in happyworld? (I just made that word up). Aren’t we all living in – happyworld?
“Hmm, - Vell?” I'll come up with a happy story one of these days but in the meantime - it might not be a good
idea to have your back to the door when surfing the web because…
Storm troopers might burst
in! Machine guns at the ready!
Komrad Colonel Gookle will
stride to the center of the room and announce -
“You vill
enjoy!"
"Vee haf vays of getting
zee information!”
He'll turn around and that
monocle will drop from his eye, and he'll say, “Schvine!”...
a cold smile framing that
data-filled face...
This of course, is the
scenario faced by all those who cross ™Google.
The Google-X-Files
Excuse my ‘schwienisch’
behavior; I’ve been slow on the uptake (The 'Three Little Pigs Dept. on this site has been
removed). A number among you have already found out about the Google Connection. Or, if you will -
Google-shenanigans (Googleanigans!)
Perhaps my internet goggles
were on crooked, or backwards. Google’s mission statement seems to be a little at odds with what it is doing in
China, and I’ve hit a brick wall on this one.
What’s next? What other
search engines are out there? After all, Google is the refinement of a long line of search engines. A lot
of trial and error over the last 8 years or so, has led to a search engine which basically does the
job.
I pulled the Google off
this site, then thought better of it. I put it back on again, knowing that Google is far too big to fight. If
they [Google] pull the ads off this site, then I would feel honored.
This rant of
mine follows after finding out about the recent Congressional hearings into why Google and ™Cisco (mainly)
have aided and abetted the Chinese government in surveying and tracking down any Chinese citizen who is critical
of their government.
Here is a mini-primer on
corruption:
Corrupt people (and institutions) do not like to be found out.
· They accomplish this by living and working in the dark.
· This ‘darkness’ serves to function as the ‘fortress’.
· Shining a light on this fortress causes the fortress to ‘melt’, or
‘dissolve’.
· If and when discovered, retaliation often includes, but is not limited to,
murder.
o This above mentioned retaliation, is a defensive measure.
· Corrupt individuals and entities choose corruption in order to hold the reins of
power.
· The reins of power enable the acquisition of wealth (currency and other
material holdings).
· In today’s world, due to confusion about principles, most people do not
recognize the ‘store fronts’ of corruption.
· Corruption is another word for picking your pockets, without you finding
out about it.
There are other players
rubbing elbows with Big Brother – ™Microsoft, ™Yahoo, and so on, but the above mentioned are the most
recognizable.
Corruption consists of two
components, or if you will, ‘two hands’, one always being the foil, casting public attention away from what is
going on, pointing everything away from the origin of wrong-doing. Our national policy is the currency
of nation-building, ours and any others. Taxes, public works, public policy, foreign policy – done
ethically, these combined actions are the engine to achieve national goals. Realistically though, there are no
referees to blow the whistle when national ethics are thrown out the window. And why should anyone blow the
whistle so long as such deeds are successfully consummated in the dark.
In the case of Chinese
domestic policy, any citizen who criticizes their own government can be led to the kneeling position – with
the requisite pistol-crack into the back of the skull – a disposable commodity, as far as Chinese government
officials are concerned.
It is in the interests of
any nation to do what ever it takes to achieve high standing in the world. The methods sometimes proscribe a
nation’s character. China has an ally in North Korea and the Sudan, the purpose of which is to sap the strength
of the United States. Likewise, Russia has a friend in Iran: the foil here, is to sap the Middle-East, and by
extension, the United State’s partnership with Israel and other moderate Muslim states. Iran ultimately means to
morph into the new Persian empire, (sounds like a ‘Star-Wars’ evil empire thing, don’t it) thus controlling the
worlds economy, via oil. And why shouldn’t Russia and China use these nefarious methods? The US is practically
giving it away, by abrogating moral ascendancy.
Sadly, the United States is
up to it’s ankles in blood. In China, if you’re unfortunate enough to be caught complaining about being robbed
by corrupt government officials – the Chinese government may rob you of your life. This story is not a
complaint-fest of how rotten some governments are; for me, this was an eye-opener into how murder is
orchestrated. Through a series of laws and other actions in which the skids have been greased for large
corporations (like Google), the US government has been at best, a napping giant; a dullard, complicit to
murder.
It’s Google-Doody Time
CEO Google Eric Schmidt
said on the ‘Charlie Rose’ show, that Google intends the world to be a ‘safer, more peaceful place’ [paraphrased
from a show which aired 06/03/2005]. For a CEO to exude beneficence is not new. I should have known
better.
Then I sat through an
episode of ®FRONTLINE, and watched the show entitled “The Tank Man” which aired recently. I must be a bit behind
the times, because this originally aired in April ’06. Nevertheless, the recent story of the Congressional
hearings into how internet giants such as ™Google and ™Cisco are complicit in murder, rang a bell and opened my
eyes. For you see, I used to be a Google fan – this search engine has saved me and others countless hours, when
looking for information.
Getting All My
Kicks on Google 66
More television: although
I’ve watched a great many episodes of FRONTLINE and have been a fan, watching the show is
oftimes like eating a brick. One-sidedness is fine for some, but a ship’s captain should exercise
proper ballast-control lest the show, excuse me, the ship, list too far. Unless of course, the captain
wishes to slip an odd perspective past the unsuspecting passengers [wink wink, FRONTLINE…
J ]. Nevertheless, FRONTLINE is
put together well, and this episode recapped the Tiananmen incident, showing footage of Chinese government troops
methodically executing protesters in the historical square of Beijing.
That’s old news; what is
new, is the revelation that China is electronically surveying the internet today, in order to squash all
criticism.
The criticisms of Chinese
government corruption are valid. They [China] are arresting and executing their own people for the crime of
complaining—a ticket to prison—or the kneeling position. Land-theft and murder and bribery are ok by
Google.
Sorry to rub you out Vino,
This is Just Business!
And who are the technical
brains behind these murders and the imprisonment of Chinese nationals? That’s right. Our very own Google,
™Yahoo, and Cisco (mainly). Yahoo, Google, and Cisco, et al, are the new wise guys of China, whores in their own
right. This is the sad part: most everyone has found these computer tools to be indispensable. The stand-up guys
of Google et al, are the real profiteers of the internet [make us an offer we can’t refuse, Don
Google…].
In the United
States, dissidents protest for same sex marriage, or man-boy love, or ‘do ask - do tell’, all the
while suffering the angst of cover-photo quality - perhaps
a little mustle-ache from carrying those signs which protest the English language? All grist from the mill
of ‘how important’ we Americans are'. Earth-shattering.
The Chinese? Boring things,
such as government complicity in the theft of land, or policemen looking the other way. Or executing people for
criticizing these little things. Details, details. But that’s OK, isn’t it? The Chinese are rich in
people.
Google Gun Boat Diplomacy
If you’ve ever been to the
American version of the Chinese Embassy site and read between the lines of their manifesto, you are left with
the impression that China’s strategic aims are a bucket filled with bitterness and resentment. There might be a
debate into the long-term effects of ‘gunboat diplomacy’ we and other European powers carried out during the
early 20th century, but one excuse, I suppose is as good as another. Persecution is persecution [anyone for
a little jingoism?].
Sadly, this long-term
inferiority complex in Chinese officials has morphed into arrogance. The inverse of this: American companies –
going from arrogance to moral-inferiority. Either way, the methodology is bottom-feeding; the final product is
murder.
I understand the US
strategy concerning China. We intend that wealth will bring about reform in China. I guess someone forgot to
tell the last few US administrations that the Chinese government is criminal. There is no intention to change.
Too bad that politicians whore themselves to corporations to bring in the vote - the trade-off is
unconscionable.
In short, American
companies have blood on their hands. I should have guessed the extent, but it’s just as well – after all,
selling oneself for the almighty bottom-line is what it’s all about.
As was mentioned about the
recent Congressional hearing, none of the CEO’s being questioned on this issue could explain the difference
between themselves, and the neighbors who turned in the family of Anne Frank.
I’d better hurry and get this rough-shod story up quickly, before Google gets wise, and
pulls it down.
