SAN FRANCISCO — The Coast Guard on Wednesday visited the mysterious "Google barge" floating in San Francisco Bay, but the agency would not reveal anything about the tech giant's hush-hush vessel. Coast Guard employees have been required to sign a non-disclosure agreement with Google regarding the San Francisco project in order to do safety inspections, Petty Officer 2nd Class Barry Bena told Reuters. An inspector with an unidentified California State agency said he, too, had to sign such a document prior to being allowed to inspect the barge.

Before the cone of silence fell on the Coast Guard's public affairs office, still another spokesman confirmed to the Portland Press Herald that Google "is involved or associated with the barge but there is a non-disclosure agreement in effect and those who violate it will be released from the Coast Guard." Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Joshua Dykman told the Mercury News that he had been ordered not to discuss the barges for "legal reasons."

Is it really Google running our Country?

Nobody, of course. It's another ignorant fantasy of yours.
Read your own post to find out who fires Coast Guard members.
I would tell you to ask johnforbes, but his reading comprehension is worse than yours.

I'm hurt by Clownhicker's gratuitous remark, so I'm leaving the Internet forever.
