Today, a new joint venture was announced by Google and the CIA. The new start-up will be involved in the analysis of Googles data to monitor blogs, websites, news, forums and more to predict trends and security threats. Although unconfirmed, this program may have access to gmail accounts and all google services data.

As the relationship between the CIA and Google grow, one must wonder what else is coming in the future?

For a taste of what is possible, visit http://trends.google.com and see how Google monitors searches as well as the interconnected nature of data searches over time.

This new technology will allow more advanced filtering and pattern matching of similar data. We have evidence of $20 million in funding so far for advanced research in this area and a 50% CIA stake relying on google data.

For a company with the slogan "Don't be evil", we must question their definition of "evil" in these times.
