Google CEO on Google changing the world with minimal accountability

In two speeches this week, Google's CEO illuminated more about Google's master plan to "change the world" -- with minimal accountability.

To be fair, I am connecting two ideas from separate speeches by Google's CEO Eric Schmidt this week, that were shared separately but need to be connected to put them into better context. 

• On Monday before the Economic Club in Washington, Dr. Schmidt waxed eloquently (per Washington Internet Daily 6-10-08) about how the company's goal is "to think big and inspire a culture of yes" and that "Google is melding a positive office culture with minimal accountability controls." [bold added]
  • Hmmmmm. 
  • As you know I have been sort of a stickler for the fact that Google has a dangerous combination of exceptional market power and unaccountability to anyone. See here, here, here, here, and here if you want powerful proof.   
• On Wednesday, before an event sponsored by Syracuse University in San Francisco as reported by Reuter's Eric Auchard -- Dr. Schmidt again waxed eloquently reminding everyone that:
  • "The goal of the company is not to monetize everything, the goal is to change the world ... We don't start from monetization. We start from the perspective of what problems do we have," he said, referring to big, world-class problems." [bold added]
    • I'll bet Google shareholders get a big warm fuzzy hearing the CEO responsible for their investment declare the company's goal is not to make money. Yeeaah baby! 

Google's Philosopher Kings as Big Brother:

• In what ways does Google want to change the world?
  • Devalue intellectual property and copyrights via copyleft and an information commons -- so that Google gets to profit from re-distributing everyone's content, i.e. labor and creativity, for -- free.
  • Regulate broadband as a utility under net neutrality so that Google can force users to subsidize Google with near free distribution despite being the world's largest user of Internet capacity -- by far.
  • Lead by example that: for-profit company structures not run for a profit, and philanthropic entities like Google.org should run within a for-profit structure and not run in a traditional not-for-profit structure. (yeah you read that right)
  • Require every Google competitor and the U.S. Government to be open and transparent, while Google is granted an uber-exemption and remain a opaque 'black box'.
  • Ensure that privacy no longer will exist as anyone knows it -- through constant surveilance by Google through Live Google Earth, Streetview, reading gmails, stalking everyone's clicks accross 90% of Internet websites, storing your health records, etc.
    • I could go on but you all get the picture...
    • Google's megalomaniacal ambitions would give George Orwell the creeps, if he were still alive today.
