Cyber Mercenaries: A Look Inward At The Compartmentalization of Google's Project Maven
Featuring programs like Deepmind, a Keyhole satellite constellation, the semi-secretive Project X venture, and huge investments in additional Artificial Intelligence, what do the geniuses at Google think is going on over there? They must have had a lot more than suspicions about their integration with military hardware. With all of that compartmentalization – clearly a military methodology – there are probably massive piles of NDA’s, or non-disclosure agreements, over at Google HQ.
Alphabet’s corporate executives have gradually been accumulating all of the companies they need to advance their MIC (Military Industrial Complex) business plan. It looked like predictive analytics was a front-runner for the most evil project they had going, but a glimpse at Wikipedia’s list of the acquisitions bought up by Google and its parent company – Alphabet Inc – at an unprecedented rate paints a startling picture of how the project was done (theoretically) right under the noses of not only the Google employees, but the public at large.
From: http://thefreethoughtproject.com/google-employees-sign-letter-demanding-company-stop-supporting-war/
"Project Maven was launched in April 2017, and according to a Pentagon memo, the objective is to “augment or automate Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)” in order to 'reduce the human factors burden of [full motion video] analysis, increase actionable intelligence, and enhance military decision-making.'”
What did Google have to offer?
Going by the criteria from the Pentagon data, here are a couple of the most relevant Alphabet Inc/Google acquisitions which apparently turned out to be quite useful :
- Jetpac , Artificial intelligence,image recognition (August 17, 2014)
- Moodstocks, image recognition (July 6, 2016)
Those were the two most likely associated components. Feel free to peruse the list on Wikipedia provided in the links below and see if you can pick out any that you think may be relevant. Keep in mind that the list provided is woefully incomplete. It fails to list a significant portion of acquisitions and only roughly 25% of the purchase prices are listed. The following is a list of other links that lead to descriptions of additional acquired companies, in which the technology was potentially used, for other compartments of Project Maven.

What a wonderful world we live in! As these big tech companies create cutting-edge innovations for our entertainment and safety, they're assisting in the development of destructive targeting platforms – designed to kill from 30 000 feet – with the proceeds!

Boogle has always been an arm of the deep state / military industrial complex.
These drones are nothing compared to boogles other admitted projects.
At least with a bomb, you are dead.
Not so with the more nefarious boogle things.
Do you feel down today? Is it because of you, or because of boogle? They have projects that work on effecting your emotional state.
Do you feel like you have a handle on today's news? Well, you don't know anything about what you didn't see in the search results. So much was left out, on purpose.
Are you addicted to your boogle accounts? How much would it cost you in time if boogle, and all its computers were a smoking crater tomorrow? How would you ever get back some of the contacts you have only in boogle+? How about your play lists? Do you have any other way to find the video producer you have been following?
Even with steemit, there is so much data that could easily go missing.
Barely use Google. Stay far away from most of their stuff. Good point, though. Back up everything. And I keep saying we need to stop letting google index our stuff. There are many other much better SE's that we can use. Cutting em out of the picture that way will be the easist way to make a tremendous difference.
Great work! My vote is weak righ now but ill give it a resteem :-)
Thanks!
