"Between Google Search, Gmail, Maps, Android, YouTube, Glass, Now, Books, Wallet, Chromecast, Wear, Nest and its alliance with car companies, Google now knows more about you than you do. It knows what you want, where you are, whom you're with, what you read, what you buy, even what pictures and videos you create and look at. "As Infoworld's Robert X. Cringely so aptly put it, "Santa works for Google now."But in the imaginary world in which he lives, Santa Claus gives and never takes away. Google, while leaning on the hypocritical 'Don't do evil' motto, can even steal your DNA. But even that's not really laying out the real horror of Google in action. The government is already spying on the masses through the NSA, FBI and CIA. Aside from the fact that Google is better equipped to so so, to quote Hillary Clinton, "What difference does it make" that creepy Google's now in on the act? In all of the "we don't need you to type" hullabaloo, will We the People miss the boat that the 2016 presidential election is all but already in the bag? Schmidt and State Department buddies have already proclaimed Google as the de facto 'Ministry of Truth'. The proclamation was followed by the sound of crickets and not public outrage. What you will see and read on the Internet between now and presidential election day 2016 is only what the self-proclaimed 'Ministry of Truth' will allow. Truth-telling conservative websites be warned: The Google Gag is coming. Traffic to your website is already falling like last autumn's leaves. The only truth is now Google truth and all other truth will be Google-suppressed. More chilling than any other worry, President Hillary Clinton is inevitable unless the way can be found to kick Google out of the manufactured truth business.
