Neo-Marxism In Corporate America: Google CEO, Eric Schmidt

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Brooks Bayne in Articles

I’m starting a series with this post. The purpose of this series is to highlight influential individuals in corporate America, who are either complicit in advancing neo-Marxist ideology, or those who are heavily influenced by it.

Schmidt holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University as well as a master’s degree and Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. Both schools are well-known for their left of center culture, with UC Berkeley being among the most left-leaning universities in America. Prior to joining Google, Schmidt was the Chairman and CEO of Novell and Chief Technology Officer at Sun Microsystems, Inc., where he led the development of Java, Sun’s platform-independent programming technology. Earlier in his career, Schmidt Eric was a member of the research staff at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and held positions at Bell Laboratories and Zilog.

Diving right in.

Below, in a video from 2006, Schmidt interviews George Soros, a well-known neo-Marxist bent on destroying capitalism, and tips his hand (they all think “Bush lied”) when he starts his tack with the Iraq war (4:20), “[the] reason for the invasion was not supported by the evidence… what did we do wrong?” Soros responds saying the war is a “false metaphor” and that he wants to undermine the War On Terror. Someone might want to tell Schmidt and Soros that Democrats were also promoting the “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction” narrative.

Schmidt seems fascinated by Soros’ false metaphor claim and asks America’s arch-villain to help him through the decision gates regarding why the War On Terror isn’t a war (17:00). Typical crazy Soros nonsense ensues.
Schmidt, “It is a war, isn’t it?”
Soros, “No. No it isn’t. And it ought not to be.”
Schmidt, “Ok…”
Soros, “Because war creates innocent victims…”, and subsequently, according to George, more terrorists. This is nonsense, because there were no terrorists created by collateral casualties in Japan or Germany, nor were there any terrorists created in New York after the 9/11 attacks. Soros misses the point completely and he takes Schmidt over the cliff-of-crazy with him. These terrorists are men emboldened by the message of Jihad bil Saif (Jihad as warfare, or with the sword) and will use any excuse to justify their “cause”. But, to people with the worldview of Soros and Schmidt, it’s all Bush’s fault. Nothing new. By now, it’s so trite that I almost cringe typing the words “Bush’s fault”.

Here’s Eric Schmidt slobbering all over George Soros:

Next up, in the video below, Schmidt spoke at NASA’s 50th Anniversary Lecture Series, January 17, 2008 in Washington, DC. During his lecture he demonstrates Google’s technology, ironically, “not to make a point about global warming or sea level change”, but as soon as he says this, the computer model demonstration immediately depicts DC underwater due to unproven man-made global warming (11:50). Perhaps Schmidt will update his future presentations to show that sea level is expected to drop this year. Schmidt’s Family Foundation lists in their mission statement that they’re, “investing in a pattern of economic development that includes green, sustainable environmental practices and design”. It’s not surprising that this sounds like a worldview consistent with that of Al Gore’s, because the two did serve together on Apple’s board of directors.  And in 2007, they both keynoted a conference about Silicon Valley’s economy, globalization, and clean technology. Schmidt resigned from Apple’s board in 2009 citing conflicts of interest. But, according to Gore’s own website, Al’s still a senior advisor to Google, so the two are still working together on… maybe more fictional computer models for propaganda purposes?

Further along in the video, Schmidt says that people are naturally curious and that he wants to “take advantage of that curiosity” (24:50). Then Schmidt gets into a typical, leftist, world-without-borders, anecdote that, according to him, is a “message of peace, but it’s also a message of the importance of Earth” (44:25). National sovereignty be damned, eh?

Schmidt campaigned for Obama in 2008, and joined his transitional board after the election. Schmidt remains a PCAST (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) advisor to Obama.  Back in 2008, Schmidt pushed for a taxpayer funded technology bailout. Of course, there had to be an example of suggesting some federal fiscal irresponsibility in the mix somewhere.

In March of 2010, Soros’ Open Society Institute posted this on their website, urging Google to invest in Baltimore’s Internet infrastructure via the Google Fiber For Communities project:

“Google should consider Baltimore for this trial for the same reasons that I selected Baltimore for my philanthropic investment, and as the site of the only field office of the Open Society Institute in the United States,” said George Soros. “Baltimore has strong community institutions but still many people who suffer from being disconnected from important resources. The city and its residents would benefit dramatically from enhanced communications infrastructure. An investment in Baltimore is sure to yield positive returns both for Google and for the city.”

To date, Google still hasn’t selected the winning city. Note that Eric Schmidt is the chairman of the board of the New America Foundation and Jonathan Soros, George Soros’ son, President of the Soros Fund is on the New America Foundation Leadership Council. It will be interesting to see if Google selects Baltimore for the Google Fiber For Communities project.

Also contained in Schmidt’s various bios and resumes, is his involvement with the Menlo School as a trustee. It sits right next to Menlo College, Silicon Valley’s business school. The Menlo School is a well-known “progressive” prep school in Atherton, California (the city where Schmidt and his family live), complete with its own gay club, model United Nations club, Spanglish club (do they have cholo/chola appreciation day – and do the girls all draw their eyebrows on, I wonder?), and vegetarian club. What?! No hunting clubs?

Here’s the school’s values list (the italicized lines, my emphasis, the first two are typical leftist tenets – causes (trees, whales, seals, polar bears), diversity (racial quotas, watering down morality to make it accessible to the lowest common denominator, countenance wayward values with little or no regard to America’s heritage), and the third doesn’t quite make sense, but at least they worked “progressive” into the mix):

At Menlo School, we are passionate about encouraging students to:

• Pursue high standards of academic excellence.
• Discover the joy of learning.
• Stretch themselves and raise challenging questions.
• Demonstrate courage, integrity and a commitment to ethical behavior.
• Develop a sense of commitment to purposes larger than themselves.
• Appreciate the richness of diversity.
• Think independently and creatively.
• Take progressively more responsibility for themselves and their education.
• Lead healthful lives.

It’s sad that these kids are being indoctrinated by neo-Marxist ideology, complete with all the Herbert Marcuse-styled PC trimmings, because these kids are extremely bright.

To summarize Schmidt’s views and associations, he fawns over George Soros, works with George’s son, is part of the “Bush lied” crew, hangs with Al Gore, advises Obama, believes in man-made global warming, he wants to take your tax dollars for technology bailouts, and he’s the trustee of a school committed to corrupting kids with progressivism. All this makes me want to trash my Gmail account!

Eric Schmidt needs more scrutiny by those of us who don’t share his views.

Google Would Rather Honor The Socialist Anti-Zionist Zamenhof Than The Bill Of Rights

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Brooks Bayne in Articles

(repost from brooksbayne.com to begin a series of posts about neo-Marxists in corporate America)

Anytime you pay attention to what Google decides to honor, you find out a little bit more about the worldview of the people who work for the company.

About a year ago, on December 15th, 2009 Google was faced with the opportunity to honor the anniversary of the Bill of Rights. Google declined, even though Dec. 15th is National Bill of Rights Day as instituted by FDR (ironic, I know). Instead, Google chose to honor L.L. Zamenhof, an oculist and the creator of Esperanto, on what would have been his 150th birthday, via the image above in one of their Google Doodles. Zamenhof’s claim to fame is that he created this failed language experiment where those who used the language were Marxists and socialists. Lesser known is that Zamenhof also failed in an attempt to create a  philosophy called Hillelism – he regarded the expression of religious conviction a “barbarity”.

The word esperanto means “one who hopes” in the language itself. Hardly a surprise as hope and change are long-standing Marxist platitudes. Zamenhof was an anti-Zionist, socialist “Jew”. People went to great lengths to hide Zamenhof’s Jewish heritage as he became popular in anti-Zionist, socialist circles. In fact, Louis Emile Javal, famous ophthalmologist and close associate of Zamenhof’s, also a “social reformer”, was proud that, “Of 700 articles in the press, only one mentioned Zamenhof’s Jewishness.” Sounds like typical postmodern New York City Jews, doesn’t it – or maybe even like the George Soros, anti-Semitic kind of “Jew”.

Well, what do you know, after a little digging, I found that George Soros’ dad, Tivador Soros (Soros, an adopted name, means “to soar” in Esperanto), founded the Esperanto literary magazine Literatura Mondo (Literary World) in 1922 and edited it until 1924. For those who’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Soros is, he’s the foreign, hypocritical Marxist who has invested tens of millions of dollars in ultra-leftist, American organizations like Center for American Progress, MoveOn, America Coming Together, Democracy Alliance, and Media Matters for the purpose of advancing Marxism in America. George was taught Esperanto from birth, and is one of the rare native speakers of the kooky language. Interesting to note that Esperanto was known as the “the Latin of the Proletariat” (Does that mean that only communist doctors and lawyers spoke it?). According to Soros, he “…grew up in a Jewish, anti-Semitic home.” Huh? Jewish anti-Semites? Hmm, that should probably read: Jew-ish. Leave it to Soros and his ilk to try and straddle that fence. There’s some insight in all this as to why the MSM and many American progressives are anti-Semitic, but that’s the subject of an upcoming blog post.

The Bill of Rights must be some obscure item from America’s past, unworthy of Google’s interest, paling in comparison to the wonders of some made up, socialist Pig Latin. But since Soros has become a hero to the American leftists, maybe that has some merit with who Google honors.

As Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, says, “If there’s something you don’t want others to know, you then you shouldn’t be doing it.” I suppose Eric wants us to know about his Marxist, anti-Israel stance. Thanks, Eric, now we know. It’s no strange accident that Obama pulled this Marxist-loving, Schmidt, into his wacky sphere of advisers. Back in 2008, Schmidt was pushing the government for an “innovation bailout”, a crazy government-funded effort to create jobs in the tech industry.

You shall know them by their fruits.
