NSA and Google are partnering up

Google is now in an open cooperation with the NSA, in order to counter China cyber attacks. Many other Silicon Valley companies have turned to the NSA in order to protect themselves from hackers from China and other nations. Webster Tarpley says that although Google has not been open to the government in the past, the reason it exists is due in part to the government.

[Or at least that’s the claim but I think there is a lot more behind this than they are telling us]

GOOGLE HAS enlisted the muscle of the US National Security Agency (NSA) to explore the alleged Chinese hack attacks, which have been all the rage of the past few weeks.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Google is still the only company out of 20 that it publicly claimed were targeted by Chinese hackers after posting a blog to say it would stop restricting censorship results on Google.cn.

Google has backtracked and is looking for a get out clause from its initial knee jerk statement. It has since announced it is working with China to find a workable system but the company is also "working with the relevant US authorities" to find out where exactly the attacks were generated from.

That said, Google and the NSA won't be drawn any further on the exact workings of the relationship.

In keeping with its shadowy roots, all an NSA spokeswoman would say was, "The NSA is not able to comment on specific relationships we may or may not have with US companies. The NSA works with a broad range of commercial partners and research associates to ensure the security of the government's national security computer networks."

Apparently Google and the NSA - the most power surveillance organisation on the planet - had clandestine meetings to draft a cooperative research and development agreement. This means the NSA could have a butchers at some of Google's breached data.

The company once known for its “don’t be evil” motto is now in bed with the spy agency known for the mass surveillance of American citizens.

The National Security Agency is widely understood to have the government’s biggest and smartest collection of geeks — the guys that are more skilled at network warfare than just about anyone on the planet. So, in a sense, it’s only natural that Google would turn to the NSA after the company was hit by an ultrasophisticated hack attack.(If they were) After all, the military has basically done the same thing, putting the NSA in charge of its new “Cyber Command.” The Department of Homeland Security is leaning heavily on the NSA to secure .gov networks.

But there’s a problem. The NSA and its predecessors also have a long history of spying on huge numbers of people, both at home and abroad. During the Cold War, the agency worked with companies like Western Union to intercept and read millions of telegrams. During the war on terror years, the NSA teamed up with the telecommunications companies to eavesdrop on customers’ phone calls and internet traffic right from the telcos’ switching stations. And even after the agency pledged to clean up its act — and was given wide new latitude to spy on whom they liked – the NSA was still caught “overcollecting” on U.S. citizens. According to The New York Times, the agency even “tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant.”

All of which makes the NSA a particularly untrustworthy partner for a company that is almost wholly reliant on its customers’ trust and goodwill. We all know that Google automatically reads our Gmail and scans our Google Calendars and dives into our Google searches, all in an attempt to put the most relevant ads in front of us.

That’s a lot harder to swallow, when Google starts working cheek-to-jowl with the overcollectors. The company pinkie-swears that its agreement with the NSA won’t violate the company’s privacy policies or compromise user data. Those promises are a little hard to believe, given the NSA’s track record of getting private enterprises to cooperate, and Google’s willingness to take this first step.

Google may need help in fighting off these hacks.(If they are really being hacked at all) But turning to Ft. Meade could wind up permanently damaging the company’s image — and the foundation of its incredible success. Already, the Russian press are talking about Google’s decision to spy with NSA, for instance. Hackers might be able to compromise some of Google’s services, for a little while. The association with the NSA could permanently cripple the company. The telegram companies and the old-school telcos were virtually monopolies; customers had nowhere to turn, if they wanted private communications. Bing and Yahoo Mail are just a click away.

What a lame premise to allow the government to take over information. Basically the Jews in the government want to make it look legit that they are filtering through our private information. They make it appear that their Jew counterparts in China are violating their Jew owned internet site, Google.

A deal between internet giant Google and the US National Security Agency on cyber-attacks may pose serious threats to other countries' national security and internet users.

Analysts worry the collaboration would allow Google's data to flow to the spy agency. Journalists and experts have announced their concern over the deal as the National Security Agency (NSA) is known for intercepting private data.

During the Cold War, NSA worked with companies like Western Union to intercept and read millions of telegrams.

During the so-called US war on terror, the NSA has teamed up with telecommunications companies to eavesdrop on phone calls and internet traffic.

Google, founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998, has become the world's largest internet search engine.

It runs more than 1 million servers in data centers around the world, processes more than 1 billion search requests and 20 petabytes of user-generated data every day.

It’s not just for terrorists.

Isnt Google supposed to be working on an Operating system to rival Microsoft? That may be the real reason. Your computer can just call home. Just imagine some phantom program running in the background, searching your computer for files with certain keywords, when you have been idle for a certain amount of time so you dont notice, and then uploading all that data to guess who.

The NSA also cooperated with Microsoft with the creation of Windows Vista, which probably means that Windows 7 is even more infiltrated than Vista.

Currently I am on XP. I think about upgrading to vista or 7 in order to run newer programs. But then I think about the enhanced spying ability.

As long as my XP discs are good and the OS is supported by software developers, I will stay with XP.

Those are possibilities but given the history of NSA and Google I see this union as no more than a spy ring and others seem to share the same concern.
