One of the first big milestones in this transformation took place in November 2004 when Google acquired a tiny and little-known 3-D mapping startup called Keyhole Inc. Google paid an undisclosed sum for the company, immediately absorbed it, and began turning its tech into what we now know as Google Earth. The acquisition would have gone unnoticed, had it not been for one not-so-tiny detail: Keyhole Inc was part-owned by the CIA and the "National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency" (NGA), a sister agency to the NSA. Keyhole Inc also had one major client base: US military and intelligence agencies.
Google is like a cheat code for intelligence gathering.”
They did it because they needed the guise of a "private company" in order to trick countries into letting them drive around cars (GOOGLE cars) and map everything on a street level. Satellites can only give you so much. You need street level mapping.
Not long after Google Earth we got Street View. Now 98% of the planet has been mapped by Google. They've even mapping the oceans and seabeds. That's a lot of intel.
Countries would never allow the CIA to map all their cities and rural areas, but they were fine if it's a "private" company there to make better maps for their citizens.
Let's be clear about something...the internet as we know it was established from day one by the MIC as a pervasive surveillance mesh. Google, social networking, etc. etc. is all part of the apparatus. They made it fun and friendly in the early days to lure everyone in. They've been collecting untold volumes of electronic data to build dossiers about everyone for decades.
I worked for almost 20 years for the company that designed and built the fleet of electro-optical digital imaging satellites and I know some of the users of that fleet. Want to hear some fuckery? Like the guy at the NRO control station in Virginia who, during a boring midwatch steered a sensor on a satellite in line of sight to them onto their building and he went outside into the parking lot and waved and made the fuckyou finger at it so his friends inside could see him on TV from 26000 miles in space?

Why did BO scuttle the shuttle program? What is SpaceX? Expand your thinking.
What is FB? Spying tool? Who created it? Who really created it? Nothing is what it seems.
surprise, surprise
