This flyer is just plain nuts. Some choice quotes:
"The self-driven car has been another pet project of the
DARPA for many years. It sponsored a recurring Grand
Challenge for people designing self-driving vehicles,
hoping someone would crack open the new technology.
Anthony Levandowski was one of the wonder kids who
flocked to these competitions, looking for a federal handout
and fame. Now, with Google handing him more money
than he could ever dream of, Levandowski is working long
hours bringing this dream of the military into reality."
"Levandowski
started a company that created computer tablets designed
to display blueprints at construction sites. The reasoning
behind their venture was that updating and then printing
new blueprints took a few days and slowed construction
time. With this new product, construction companies
could create condominiums, malls, and subdivisions with
the least possible delay and the maximum profit. In praise
of his prodigious business acumen, the administration-run
UC Berkeley News decided to run an article on him in 2003,
championing his ability to make money and enable the
housing bubble that was just starting to expand."
"The proposed project is a testament to the arrogance,
disconnection, and luxury of the ruling class. Growing their
own vegetables in a rooftop garden and selling them to
other wealthy people allows them, somehow, to pretend that
the planet is not being ravaged by the same economy they
depend on for their wealth, comfort, and safety."
"Preparing for the action, we watched Levandowski step out of his front door. He had Google Glasses over his eyes, carried his baby in his arm, and held a tablet with his free hand. As he descended the stairs with the baby, his eyes were on the tablet through the prism of his Google Glasses, not on the life against his chest. He appeared in this moment like the robot he admits that he is."
Seriously? That last one is particularly horrifying and almost sounds like an implicit threat.
