The American Patriot’s Bible
A Canadian paper writes about The American Patriot’s Bible.

Here is another in a succession of articles asking whether Google knows too much about us. “Google tracks your online behavior to deliver relevant advertising; the company inadvertently controls a large amount of what you see online through its search results; it’s amassing the greatest library since Alexandria; it has a huge share of the online video market; and offers a wide range of services that bring more and more of your daily online habits into its online sphere.
