Documents published last year by WikiLeaks, obtained from the U.S. intelligence
contractor Stratfor, show that in 2011 Jared Cohen, then (as he is now) director
of Google Ideas, was off running secret missions to the edge of Iran in Azerbai
jan. In these internal emails, Fred Burton, Stratfor s Vice President for Intellig
ence and a former senior State Department official, describes Google as follows:
'Google is getting WH [White House] and State Dept support and air cover. In
reality they are doing things the CIA cannot do [Cohen] is going to get himself k
idnapped or killed. Might be the best thing to happen to expose Google s covert ro
le in foaming up-risings, to be blunt. The US Gov t can then disavow knowledge and
Google is left holding the shit-bag.'
In further internal communication, Burton subsequently clarifies his sources on

Cohen s activities as Marty Lev, Google s director of security and safety and Eric S
chmidt.
WikiLeaks cables also reveal that, previously, Cohen ? when working for the Stat
e Department ? was in Afghanistan trying to convince the four major Afghan mobil
e phone companies to move their antennas onto U.S. military bases. In Lebanon, h
e covertly worked to establish, on behalf of the State Department, an anti-Hezbo
llah Shia think tank. And in London? He was offering Bollywood film executives
funds to insert anti-extremist content into Bollywood films and promising to con
nect them to related networks in Hollywood. That is the director of Google Ideas
. Cohen is effectively Google's director of regime change. He is the State Depar
tment channeling Silicon Valley.
That Google was taking NSA money in exchange for handing over people s data comes
as no surprise. When Google encountered the big bad world, Google itself got big
and bad.
