What is Google doing in Greece? On September 15, 2014, Julian Assange performed a "Ask me Anything" at Reddit in the framework of presentationof his bookWhen Google Met WikiLeaks. "
I asked a question and I got an answer that I would like to share for the benefit of politicians, businesspeople and consumers of Google products that are likely to come into contact with this multinational company in Greece.
Julian Assange's book reveals the close relationship between the US government and Google. Below, his answer leaves no doubt about the intentions of the dark company, making Google's parallelism as a "Hamelin rifle" informant for a US defense contractor like, for example, SAIC (now called Leidos).
Google as Hamelin's Piper (or magic flute as it is known in Greece) for the US defense contractor SAIC
Question (greekemmy): Today September 15 the Greek Minister Mr. Dendias (currently at the Ministry of Development, previously at the Ministry of Public Order) met with Google executives Nicklas Lundblad, Director of the EU Relations Department, and Mr. Dionysis Kolokotsa, Director of the Public Policy Department of Google for "improving the business environment and the company's participation in Greece." In the book “When Google met WikiLeaks” it is reported that (p21) “Google's chairman may be conducting, one way or another, diplomacy from underground channels for Washington.” It then (in the book) mentions the release of GiFiles (P22) and the Google Ideas project "oppressive societies" that "do things the CIA can't do..."
Considering that your book exposes the political character and strategy of this company, what will be the challenges of politicians in a small country like Greece when they come face face to face with a corporate giant like Google, and what could be the significance of Google's increased involvement geopolitically.
Julian Assange: Η αναγνώριση σας για το τι σημαίνει αυτή η επίσκεψη είναι ακριβώς αυτό που ήλπιζα . Απλά οι άνθρωποι κοιτάζουν την Gοogle για το τι είναι στην πραγματικότητα, και, όταν οι εκπρόσωποι της εμφανιστούν στην Ελλάδα ή κάπου αλλού, αντί να θεωρούνται ως ευγενικοί μάγοι με καπέλα γεμάτα μετρητά, better be understood in the same way as a pied piper (Piper of Hamelin) whistleblower of a company like SAIC.
