Google Involved with Clinton Campaign, Controls Information Flow – Assange

Assange believes that unlike Donald Trump, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is predictable and will constitute a problem for freedom of speech in the US if elected.

“Of course she when she is in power… She is a problem for freedom of speech,” the whistleblower said. "We know what she is going to do. And she made the chart for the destruction of Libya, she was involved in the process of taking the Libyan armory and sending it to Syria."

“Google is heavily integrated with Washington power, at personal level and at business level… Google, which has increasing control over the distribution channels,… is intensely allying itself with the US exceptionalism,” Assange said, speaking in a video link from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

“It [Google] shows the will to use that at different levels. It will inevitably influence its audience,” Assange said, recalling the occasion when Google leased its front page to “promote [US State Secretary] John Kerry's call for bombing on Syria in 2013,” along with conspiring with “Al Jazeera to encourage Syrian defectors.”

Although Assange should not be trusted, because of the vetted nature of the material leaked to Wikileaks and their co-operation with the mainstream press, what he is saying here does reflect reality. I view Assange as an intelligence asset, and that this recent announcement reflects the support of the intelligence community, and likely Assange himself, for the Trump campaign (or, at the very least, a rebuke against Clinton).
