Pentagon Bans Google Map-Makers
Posted by Regeneration on March 9th, 2008, 03:04 PM

Close-up, ground-level imagery of US military sites posed a "potential threat" to security, it said. The move follows the discovery of images of the Fort Sam Houston army base in Texas on Google Maps. A Google spokesman said that where the US military had expressed concerns, images had been removed. Google has now been barred from filming and conducting detailed studies of bases, following the discovery of detailed, three-dimensional panoramas online - and in particular, views of the Texan base.

No offense to my many American friends online and offline but this again proves that the Land of the Free is probably the country with the most censorship in the world. The public sees what the government wants them too.

(If guys in suits show up at my door after this post I will send a postcard when I can )

Or a black void everywhere but the US like the weather forecasts I saw while staying in New York a few years ago ... you see the US and the children are taught mainly American History can't know too much about the world unless it falls into Big Brothers programming for you

lol i always found it funny how in the US they were taught that they won the war of 1812 and only recently they made the teachers go back and say "Ok disregard what our texbooks say we didnt really win"

They are taught only American history thats why they think we live in igloos and Russians live in tanks

Probably gonna get banned for this or something, but howcome just about every thread around here lately is just a bashing thread? bashing microsoft, bashing nvidia, now bashing america as a whole. Rege picks a target and you guys let loose. i'll be the first to agree with you that america ain't the best. but theres a few smart ones over here you know, we're not all inbred trash like our stupid ass president. we're not still in 1950's, poverty is rediculous over here, Personally street gangs ruined my school experience... and im from massachusetts.In any bashing america posts on any forum I never see anyone offering constructive thoughts or even help. we get what our media gives us. some of us do get info online but theres still alot of families over here that the internet is a serious luxury for.you only see our government, Bush and his cabinet of puppets, you never hear from the american citizen because we're too busy working our asses off to support our families and about 10% of population thats on welfare for no good reason. My country is in a slump right now and i hope you're all proud of yourselves sitting on your chair in another country preaching your hate to any new site visitors.

I've been coming here for years and this is the first time i've been truly offended by an entire page of replies. It astounds me how many people on the internet HATE me for things i have no control over. What happens when people come to this site looking for help and are just totally gobsmacked by the hate on these boards.

No one hates you Bro or any of my American friends I said that in my first post here. What I hate is biased American views and support for bombing rocks in Afghanistan. Nothing to do with you personally but it pisses me off the level of or lack of scope most Americans have on the rest of the world. Your country preaches Democracy but doesn't hold up to its standards.

Name the Capital City of Canada.

Name the Country that invented the telephone.

Name the Country that invented Basketball.

Where was the Geneva Conference last held ?

Who shot JFK ? Really ?

Was it the same organization that killed Jimmy Hoffa ?

PPS: No one is banned on this Forum for expressing views or opinions Bro

As a former Military person, I don’t agree with everyone about this. Google should remove military and important facilities for the safety of the people.

Terrorists can exploit the Google service and use it to attack and cause some serious damage. For example, they can locate nuclear facilities, attack it and cause some really serious damage.

If we wish to live in safety, we have to be limited, at least as long as terrorism exists. Google’s map service is working almost exactly like a spying satellite, why should we give them free spying satellite?

Nobody hates you; they are just making fun out of the ridiculous government in the United States.

you gotta know where i'm coming from dude. America gets bashed at least once a week on the forums i visit(ngohq,guru3d,ocfurums) I just get a little tired of hearing it. Theres just ebough people here that don't care that nothing stops. I can't answer all of your questions. calgary? dunno the telephone one, basketball over here is taught that our basketball comes from american indians, Geneva= nope but i know what it is. JFK=conspiracy, Hoffa was probbly another mob guy. but none of this is my area of expertise. I am a hands on guy and always have been. I can rebuild your entire car solo in a week. i can fix any PC problem with minimal money spent. I can't tell you who was president in 1875.. but my brother can lol

I don't know what country everyone here is from. Just please understand that we are not all like we are portrayed to be. almost 100% of the dumb shit you hear that comes from this country is made up by someone who has enough money to have free time on his or hers hands to screw everything up for the rest of us. By the time the media gets around to telling us about it, its to late to do anything about it.

That’s because America has provided too many provocative headlines in the last 20 years.

I understand as well dude but you have to understand my point as well.

Both the telephone and Basketball were invented in Canada the USA shares country code "1" with us.

The Capital of Canada is Ottawa.

Am I making my point as well Bro ?

I know many smart and cool people from the US in fact over 90 percent of my online friends are American .. but they would agree with what I say.

Sorry on the other boards but you are most welcome here wiskerbizkit ... Cheers and it takes guts to post what you did you have my respect

lol i could have sworn you said "a capital city" not the. for the heck of it i checked out the basketball thing and it was invented by a canadian, in springfield massachusets, my homestate what a coincidence lol. but anyways, i don't want to turn the thread into Canada vs America because it has absolutely nothing to do with what im talking about, well maybe a little because 8/10 canadians i know really really hate america. I just want the bashing to stop, i get it everywhere i go and i just don't think it has a place on a tech support site/modded drivers site. I think me posting is doing more harm than good so i'll just go back to the shadows of NGOHQ and keep reading my daily news here and just not bother you guys again. Later

I partially agree with everyone.

I 100% agree with Regen ... military bases should be top secret ... no mater what
world wide availability or high resolution photos of military installations and facilities are a target for "not so right in the head ppl"
handing over detailed plans of a facility is dangerous

oh .. and btw Russians live in tanks ... they just don't know it


as for the US government ... U have a vote

I think your odds are wrong Bro like I said I have many American friends and almost all of them agree with what I have said. It isn't the people of the US that people have an issue with its the policies and government. Doe's Free Trade work ? Don't just ask us ask Mexico

agree with you mac

about the military bases being secret, you know what? id rather they take the fight to the military base where it belongs then to the schools or workplaces where there are innocent people and kids, the fight belongs at the militaries doorstep not the peoples

Funny thing is they call this a threat? They mention nothing of the what 200+ spy satellites
ours, others that are up in space. That has the same if not FAR BETTER images. They already
blacked out most military areas including the area of the notorious “area 51”

These are just the public images, that well anyone could buy…
