Story by Lloyd Franks, Reporter

Daily Internet Clarion of New York

January 23, 2005: According to Mr. Bob Beobee, Google is a military covert operation that helps the USA to control the world.

"Google has clear objectives," stated Beobee recently, "collective mind control; global intelligence and surveillance; socio-economic control over the people and nations on Earth to help the US keep its grip on power around the world. Compared to the power of Google, the hydrogen bomb is a toy," said Beobee, "because the US cannot use the H-bomb every day."

Google is a corporation, headquartered in California, that searches for information on the internet worldwide. According to official documents written and published by Google, Google withholds many secrets from the public. Indeed, Google's methods of operation never have been explained fully.

According to Katie Beobee, wife of Bob Beobee, Google had reason to silence her husband, who disappeared mysteriously about a week ago.

From DU post: Have Blog, get fired??

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Mark Jen landed a dream job with Google Inc. in January. He was fired less than a month later.

His infraction? He ran a Web log, where he freely gabbed about his impressions of life at the Mountain View, Calif.-based Internet search giant.

Web logs, or blogs, the online personal diaries where big names and no names expound on everything from pets to presidents, are going mainstream. While still a relatively small piece of total online activity, blogging has caught on with affluent young adults. As Forrester Research analysts recently noted, blogging will become increasingly common as these consumers age.

For companies, the growing popularity of blogs is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, corporate managers recognize the power of word-of-mouth as a sales tool. On the other hand, they're acutely aware of the dangers inherent in the rapid and widespread dissemination of company information.

"Blogs are enabling people to have a conversation with a much wider audience," said Kurt Opsahl, a staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that monitors Internet use and privacy rights. "They're saying the same things that people would routinely say around the water cooler, only now they're saying them in a forum that can be read by millions of people."
