Schmidt’s tenure as CEO saw Google integrate with the shadiest of US power structures as it expanded into a geographically invasive megacorporation.
Long before company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin hired Schmidt in 2001, their initial research upon which Google was based had been partly funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Even as Schmidt’s Google developed an image as the overly friendly giant of global tech, it was building a close relationship with the intelligence community.
This crossover between Google and intelligence agencies and military/state function, as described by Assange is echoed by the structure and executive makeup of Crowdstrike.
Crowdstrike, with substantial funding from a Google subsidiary, is headed by a number of former figures from FBI. Crowdstrike served the Democratic Party during the 2016 Presidential campaign, which Schmidt was deeply embedded with himself, as shown in Podesta email leak.
Press reports indicate that Alphabet has financed Google Capital. Acting as an arm of Alphabet, Google Capital then financed Crowdstrike to the tune of $100 million. Google Capital has rebranded, and currently goes by the name “CapitalG.”
CapitalG maintains on their website that: “Our Google connection is our key asset. ” CapitalG reiterates that “CapitalG (formerly Google Capital) is a growth equity fund backed by Alphabet, Google’s parent company.
One possible explanation for the sudden decision by Schmidt is that the investigation into Russian hacking claims made by Crowdstrike & the DNC may have turned up some unsavory information about the company or Schmidt's involvement in the saga as an insider to Clinton’s campaign.
This may have prompted Schmidt to step down from Alphabet without announcing a successor.
