Google involved with Clinton campaign, controls information flow – Assange
RT,
7
June, 2016
American
tech giant Google is closely cooperating with Hillary Clinton’s
presidential campaign to promote the candidate, WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange said in a televised address to an international media
forum.
“Google
is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” the
WikiLeaks founder claimed, as quoted by the Sputnik news agency. He
added that the company used the State Department as part of “a quid
pro quo.”
The
journalist behind the world’s most well-known whistleblower website
appeared via videoconference at a session of ‘End of the Monopoly:
The Open Information Age’, part of the ‘New Era of Journalism:
Farewell to Mainstream international media’ forum organized at the
Rossiya Segodnya International Multimedia Press Center in Moscow.

Assange
is far from the only one to notice the link between Google and the
Clinton campaign. Behavioral Psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein has
pioneered research on how search engines affect elections and much
more. He told Lee Camp, host of RT America’s ‘Redacted Tonight’,
that “when one candidate is higher in search rankings ‒ that is,
looks better than another candidate in search rankings ‒ that
shifts a lot of votes to that candidate. And it’s not a tiny
number. It’s a very, very big number of votes.”
Humans
are trained to believe that the higher ranking links are “better”
and “truer,” Epstein explained.
Last
year, billionaire Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt created a
little-known start-up company called The Groundwork, “the sole
purpose of which is to put Hillary Clinton in office,” he said.
“It’s a very secretive organization, super high-tech stuff, and
[it’s] very likely they’re using these techniques that we’ve
been studying in our research to make sure that votes are shifted to
Hillary Clinton in November."

Assange
believes that unlike Donald Trump, Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton is predictable and will constitute a problem for
freedom of speech in the US if elected.
“Of
course she when she is in power… She is a problem for freedom of
speech,” the whistleblower said. "We know what she is going to
do. And she made the chart for the destruction of Libya, she was
involved in the process of taking the Libyan armory and sending it to
Syria."
“Google
is heavily integrated with Washington power, at personal level and at
business level… Google, which has increasing control over the
distribution channels,… is intensely allying itself with the US
exceptionalism,” Assange said, speaking in a video link from the
Ecuadorian embassy in London.
“It
[Google] shows the will to use that at different levels. It will
inevitably influence its audience,” Assange said, recalling the
occasion when Google leased its front page to “promote [US State
Secretary] John Kerry's call for bombing on Syria in 2013,” along
with conspiring with “Al Jazeera to encourage Syrian defectors.”
“Google
is an intensely Washington, DC-aligned company,” the famous
whistleblower said.
Washington
and Google likewise feel threatened by China and view the country as
a rival, with Schmidt viewing China as “his enemy,” the
WikiLeaks founder said.
“I
see a Google exit from China… It seems much more to do with
Google's feeling that it is part of ‘family America’ and that it
is opposed to the Chinese,” said Assange.
‘80
percent of NSA budget privatized’
Another
shocking claim from Assange is that 80 percent of the US National
Security Agency’s (NSA) budget has been privatized as part of the
merger between power and big business.
“There
is a merger between the corporate organizations and state… 80
percent of the National Security Agency budget is privatized,”
Assange said, stressing that the NSA “is the core of the US deep
state… There has been a smoothing out between the government and
the corporations,” the whistleblower said.

Assange
has been stuck inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London since he took
refuge there in June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden. In Sweden,
the Australian is wanted for questioning by the authorities regarding
allegations of sexual assault against two women in 2010. The
44-year-old has denied the accusations; he says that being taken to
Sweden would only pave the way for further extradition to the US,
where he charges of espionage, conspiracy, theft of government
property and computer fraud, which could result in up a minimum of 45
years behind bars for his role in helping the currently-imprisoned
Chelsea Manning leak US diplomatic cables in 2010.
WikiLeaks
published over 250,000 classified US military and diplomatic
documents that year in a move that amounted to the largest
information leak in United States history. Hillary Clinton was
secretary of state during the so-called ‘Cablegate’.
