    A leak from the Startfor emails appears to show that Jared Cohen, director of ideas in Google, maintain his links with the state department are leaving his positions at US Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff and former advisor to Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton, using these links to aid the government, with its regime change efforts.
    Email exchanges, starting February 2011, suggest that Google execs were suspicious that Cohen was coordinating his moves with the White House and cut Cohen’s mission short at times for fear he was taking too many risks.
    Later on, Burton forwarded information from the “Google source” of Cohen’s links in establishing Movements.org. The source added, “A site created to help online organization of groups and individuals to move democracy in stubborn nations. Funded through public-private partnerships.” Burton pointed out that the US State Department is the organization’s public sponsor

    The relevant full emails are also in the link.

    One more interesting quote from the article
    Burton responded,GOOGLE is getting WH [White House] and State Dept. support and air cover. In reality, they are doing things the CIA cannot do. But, I agree with you. He’s going to get himself kidnapped or killed. Might be the best thing to happen to expose GOOGLE’s covert role in foaming up-risings, to be blunt. The US Gov’t can then disavow knowledge and GOOGLE is left holding the **** bag.
