God, how I hate Bezos and Amazon. We can see Bezos's thoughts on sexism by how he covered for Weinstein, but it goes a lot deeper. His company is able to do a lot more to help in trafficking with all their shipping operations. I propose there will be other up and coming problems for Bezos regarding the sex trafficking than just his employees being charged. High level Amazon directors shows that possibly it could go a lot higher, up as high as the Top Dog. Bezos himself. Not Impossible.

I'm with you. The guy gives me the creeps.

Definitely the shipping is problematic as are all his huge warehouses. We know that warehouses are sometimes used in human trafficking. While that hasn't been proven in Bezos' case, it is a reality. And now his CIA connections? I don't know what he's positioning Amazon to be. An octopus with an arm in every industry/sector of business/politics/covert operations?

Has anyone probed his background in how he managed to keep Amazon afloat for all those years while losing money? Whose deep pockets were backing him? And he never seemed worried. He was content to have a business hemorrhaging money ... why? Any other person starting a business would have panicked and not had the funds to sustain the enterprise, but Bezos? Hey, no worries! He was fine with it and now? Now he's poised to be this conglomerate that controls everything. Why people voluntarily buy and install that stupid Alexa in their homes is beyond me! Think I want Bezos spying on my family? Or, if not spying, giving him or other creeps the opportunity to. No way! Throw those Echo things out the window and smash it till it can't function.

I was at a large party over the weekend and there was a child that received an Alexa product for a gift. They plugged it in and it does what you tell it. Turn the music louder, turn light off in the other room, etc. Everyone was enamored with this thing. Except Me. I don't know if that thing can do the spying thing, but it scares me. This child will probably take it home and put it in their room. I made one small comment about how we don't know what will come out on the news about that product and how it will be one of those items that can be hacked into or has a seeing eye in it. Wow. Was I brought down quick. I was accused of being a Conspiracy Monger at best. OK. Just Wait. I agree. Remember when we researched the Alexa product on here. Not good. Not good.

This also sounds more like surveillance (of the user) than providing security:

This is my feeling as well. Also, I just don't trust the whole idea of him having the contract for the CIA cloud. How do we know that info is not being shot right up into the clouds? Anyone in bed with the CIA is not up to any good, especially for us. Billionaires are interested in making more money not doing good for us. I remember reading info before that this is not a safe item to have in your home. Thanks for the link, will read.

Exactly. The CIA is the intel branch of the oligarchs army. They don't work for the American people.

Alexa sounds like an NSA toy, but same same.

carmencita ago

Correct. They do not work for us. People in this country have been mistaken for decades thinking they are like the NSA or DHS etc. They are not. They are a Rogue Global Org.

NSA is as bad or worse than CIA. Their enitre existance is to put citizens under the microscope, nowhere to run nowhere to hide. Collect all data in the event anybody gets brave enough to make a stand. Then they pull out their data storage and their investigation is done.

This. And people are fine with that now. Years ago people questioned it all, now they are asleep like sheep.
