I can only imagine POTUS taking a "stroll" if he is also making a deal or talking to someone about making a deal.

 

Have a great weekend yourself POTUS & Q. This has been a GREAT 2 weeks!

This is a really really good and eye opening article written by JA about ES, Cohen, and GOOG.

 

 

It was Cohen who, while he was still at the Department of State, was said to have emailed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to delay scheduled maintenance in order to assist the aborted 2009 uprising in Iran.4 His documented love affair with Google began the same year, when he befriended Eric Schmidt as they together surveyed the post-occupation wreckage of Baghdad. Just months later, Schmidt re-created Cohenโ€™s natural habitat within Google itself by engineering a โ€œthink/do tankโ€ based in New York and appointing Cohen as its head. Google Ideas was born.

Later that year the two co-wrote a policy piece for the Council on Foreign Relationsโ€™ journal Foreign Affairs, praising the reformative potential of Silicon Valley technologies as an instrument of US foreign policy.5 Describing what they called โ€œcoalitions of the connected,โ€6 Schmidt and Cohen claimed that Democratic states that have built coalitions of their militaries have the capacity to do the same with their connection technologies. . . . They offer a new way to exercise the duty to protect citizens around the world [emphasis added].7

 

In the same piece they argued that โ€œthis technology is overwhelmingly provided by the private sector.โ€ Shortly afterwards, Tunisia. then Egypt, and then the rest of the Middle East, erupted in revolution. The echoes of these events on online social media became a spectacle for Western internet users. The professional commentariat, keen to rationalize uprisings against US-backed dictatorships, branded them "Twitter revolutions." Suddenly everyone wanted to be at the intersection point between US global power and social media, and Schmidt and Cohen had already staked out the territory. With the working title โ€œThe Empire of the Mind,โ€ they began expanding their article to book length, and sought audiences with the big names of global tech and global power as part of their research.
