Afshin Rattansi goes underground about the time WikiLeaks met Google. Julian Assange discusses the meeting he had in 2011 with Eric Schmidt and three others. Schmidt, now chairman of Google, was then a top executive. Assange maintains Google is in bed with the state department and also reveals the false allegations the US military made against WikiLeaks, which surfaced during the Chelsea Manning trial. Assange talks about Guardian gaffs, Glenn Greenwald, FinFisher spyware and the NSA’s rampant antics. The interview reveals ‘an extremely alarming phenomenon’: how more and more security-cleared Americans are joining the ranks of the ‘state within a state’ – 6 million to date. The interview wraps up with a discussion about the likely consequences for Scotland after the ‘No’ vote in their historic referendum.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Stuart.
I use and recommend using Startpage as a search engine. https://startpage.com/
Cool. I will.
Definitely better than using Google or some of the other search engines. You can choose to open what you are looking for through a proxy, too, although some websites don’t function completely and have to be unproxied.
I also use https://www.eff.org/privacybadger and https://www.ghostery.com/en/ and clear cookies very often, especially after using Facebook, etc. You can set your browser to NOT accept third party cookies.
I set the browser not to accept any cookies, then I added in the websites that I use most frequently as exceptions. It’s a hassle to do, but well worth it in the long run.
Forgot to mention using Ad Block, too. Available on Chrome and Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
