Article too long for me to spend time on. I have read ½ of it and gathered that Google's top brass are in cahoots with the US Administration in various ways and fields, foreign policy including. Am I right?

Something like that and more , read the whole article .

In 2004, after taking over Keyhole, a mapping tech startup co-funded by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the CIA, Google developed the technology into Google Maps, an enterprise version of which it has since shopped to the Pentagon and associated federal and state agencies on multimillion-dollar contracts.

In 2008, Google helped launch an NGA spy satellite, the GeoEye-1, into space. Google shares the photographs from the satellite with the U.S. military and intelligence communities. In 2010, NGA awarded Google a $27 million contract for "geospatial visualization services."
