What’s the current status if the “conspiracy theory” that Google is largely run by cia “alumn” influencing in favor of current factions in charge of the cia? Crazy talk?



In my opinion, Google is run in favor of the shareholders with the majority of voting rights.


How does one go about identifying the CIA operatives attempting to hide in your interview pool?


Unless one has rollback and wishes to share they worked there, you won’t know.

That said, having worked for “agencies myself”, if people knew home many former 3 letter peeps were running around in high levels and influential positions they would be surprised. Most of them know each other on the tech side (some of us even have get togethers anually) and many of us have relationships with people high up in media and banking…. Crap now I sound conspiratorial.

Truth is most are just employees that did a job and have moved on.

There was the early investment in Google by In-Q-Tel, but I’m not sure what that entails or might mean now. And another In-Q-Tel company was later purchased by Google, Keyhole.


Eric Schmidt and Condoleeza Rees?
