Now 3 google barges are known of off USA coasts....have the initials BAL
[link to sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com] SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – Nearly a week after it was uncovered, Google is staying silent about mysterious barges off Treasure Island and in Maine. Meanwhile, KPIX 5 has received comment from the U.S. Coast Guard about the project, and has obtained details about the barges and who owns them.

We have found at least three barges, two with container structures on them, all marked with the letters “BAL” followed by four numbers. The two barges located at Treasure Island are identified as BAL0010 and BAL0001. A similar barge in Portland, Maine is identified as BAL0011.

Any ideas as to the purpose of these barges? It seems odd that the Coast Guard would allow them to just sit out there indefinitely.

Weird.

bump
The engravings translate to "This space intentionally left blank."

The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script, rarely used today. It seems to be a philippic against small insects, absent-mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects.

The gate is open; through it you can see a desolation, with a pile of mangled bodies in one corner. Thousands of voices, lamenting some hideous fate, can be heard.
The way through the gate is barred by evil spirits, who jeer at your attempts to pass.

How about we "float" an idea here. (heh)

What if the reports of something major happening were true? (Comet, Niburu, New Madrid, civil unrest, etc...) Wouldn't it make sense to create data repositories that would have a better chance of surviving anything catastrophic because they aren't land based? If you had the capacity to float them out to sea, they would be much harder to access. Seems that we may be looking at a serious warning...

Just a thought.

Offshore server banks... smart.

Sail those puppies into international waters, invoke maritime laws etc.

Declare cyberspace to be an independent state.

Peoples republic of Google is born, currency is bitcoin, laws are Googles corporate policy.

Google becomes a "government" of sorts, capable of waging (cyber)war, buying and selling etc etc.

2016 google demands a seat at the UN.

2020 google goes to war against an increasingly beleaguered and aggressive United States, international community does not assist the us... red states, china and russia actively support google..

2022, fall of US, rise of the cyberstate.

2030 Google is worlds only superpower, acquires nuclear weapons in form of ex-US naval subs.

I'm just talking shit for fun, but I like trying to think of alternate "future histories", the way the world could go if things happened just so.

I don't know. However, it appears these are internet power plants to operate in the event of a grid failure.

"Well placed sources told KPIX 5 that the barges are being built and outfitted as retail sales and marketing centers for Google Glass, the tech giant’s wearable computer."

Uh. Really? Why include that? No one would believe it.

So is it a joke? Google glass?

Could also be dormitories for international workers that they can't get green cards for. Float to international waters.

pretty shitty looking barges with a new structure on top. Doesn't look like meant to be permanent.
How about launch pad for massive fireworks display to mark some new google product? or anniversary?
