“Whether it is being just a company or “more than just a company,” Google’s geopolitical aspirations are firmly enmeshed within the foreign-policy agenda of the world’s largest superpower.”

Stacey Stites was working extra hours at the HEB to save up for a wedding dress for her marriage to Jimmy Fennell, her mother said it was all she talked about.
On the way to a 3:30am shift, she stopped to help someone she saw on the side of the road - Rodeny Reed.
What she didn't know was that Rodney Reed had raped multiple women in the past, including a intellectual disabled woman and a 12 year-old child.
Stacey's body was later found in the wood after she didn't show up for work.
Her truck was found near where Reed lived.
His semen and saliva were found all over her body.
