Is this post part of Project Goliath's attempt to undermine Google?

Sorry but that is some lame evidence bro, it doesn't prove anything! Unless Google have started to build a robot army or some shit then I ain't interested.

Don't you worry. I am well aware of their robot army. It was sarcasm.

Haha. As much as I believe in Illuminati/NWO ect, unless there is solid evidence that cannot be debunked, it's not really worth posting IMO. Just fuels the fire for people who do not see things the way we see things.

What I am getting at is there is evidence that the corporation is crooked as fuck, but you'll have a hard time convincing people people of this by saying "Look, their Gmail logo looks remotely like this masonic apron".

The name Google is a play on the word "googol," a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros reflects Larry Page's and Sergey Brin's (Google's founders) mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.

If you think your explanation for the reason why the founders of Google chose that name is more plausible than the one I quoted above, then good luck to you!

Yes, you or your source has unraveled the number 6 three times from their logo, turned two quotation marks upside down and stuck another 6 on top of them and interpreted what is clearly an envelope into a masonic apron. It must be so :)

You're welcome, if only I really did get paid to have these conversations :(

Whether or not you're paid to do it, you're an enemy of the Light and of humanity for doing it.

For doing what? Disagreeing with people on here? And agreeing with them occasionally? For being interested in conspiracies and politics?

You have to understand: around here, "shill" means anyone who defends any organization, culture or individual that others suspect of wrongdoing, regardless of the merit of their points.

By far one of my favorite 3 minute videos about Google sharing many facts generally unknown about Google. And mind you this was put out in 2010. Imagine the updated statistics and projects today.

Definitely some interesting investments and ties. Even to bioengineering and other off the wall projects. Like I said, I wish someone would compile a current video of facts similar to this. I miss the you tube channel A Hungry Beast. They tackled a lot of interesting corps and subjects.

My friends in York Rite were pretty pumped when the gmail logo came out. Of course, the standard icon used on for mail on most computers does resemble a masonic apron. Add a red outline, and you've got a Royal Arch apron.

But how is the rest of the symbolism Masonic? Does the "oo" in Google represent pancake breakfasts? (Sorry, kind of a masonic inside joke)

I like to see it as Go-Ogle.

Okay, here's my take on this. Full disclosure: I'm a Freemason now, but before I was a Freemason, I was a big fan of Google. I even got a job offer from them, back in the mid-2000s, but had to turn it down because of family needs (a dying grandfather). I also had a company that I used to work for bought by Google, and many of my friends now work there.

So, this posting hits close to home on two fronts.

A few points:

• I'd be absolutely thrilled if Google were a deeply Masonic company, but I doubt it.
• The founders definitely do apply many Masonic principles in their business dealings, but I think that comes more from the Stanford academic culture than Freemasonry. Classical education and Freemasonry have a very close history, so this is not shocking.
• While I won't discuss membership in the Fraternity (and almost never know that someone is a Mason in other states unless they choose to make it public), I will say that even if Larry and Sergey were Brothers, the idea that they would be directly or indirectly responsible for every element of the branding is kind of naive.
• The envelope logo of gmail does look like an apron. But then, so does the envelope icon that has been used in thousands of ways to represent mail delivery for over 100 years.
• The "Gog El" thing is absolutely silly. If you have to dip into multiple languages, then I expect the result to be shockingly relevant. As it is, it's a radically different spelling that doesn't even seem to be a slam-dunk for evil (Gog is used many places in the Bible, including as one of Noah's grandchildren... it's oversimplifying to the point of misleading to suggest that it's just another name for evil/satan).

A meta point:

But as with all things Masonic, there is a deeper meaning.

This is often true. We enjoy layering symbolism (an art which is, I fear, becoming extinct outside of the Fraternity; the likes of Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling (both Masons) don't seem to be producing much in our popular culture anymore). However, you seem to be using that assertion as a springboard to then justify any tenuous linkages that you can invent that circularly justify calling Google Masonic. That's just bad logic.

Was just an ad....

You lie...

This seems a rather poor gambit. I'm not sure why you chose to go down that road, but if you have some actual criticisms of my points, rather than mindless arm-waving and a link that opens on my phone with an unskippable ad, then please feel free to share.

I'm a Freemason. If there's one thing we respect, it's cogent debate. When you present one, I'll engage. Until then, I think we're done, here.
