## Frame notes
See `frame-notes.md` for timestamp captures. Key frames:
- 0.5s: Google logo, sticker “Who owns Google?”
- 12s: Eli Lilly “150 years of medicine” image.
- 32s: Daily Mail card claiming Google planned to release “64million bacteria-infected mosquitoes.”
- 56s: “Google Cloud and STS to Automate U.S. Navy Maintenance Inspections Using AI and ML Technology.”
- 76s: Quantmap/FM page saying Page + Brin controlled 52.7% of Alphabet voting power as of the 2026 proxy.
- 84s: montage of public-figure photos; names unreadable in the frame, so PBC does not identify them by face.

## Primary / higher-weight sources used
- Alphabet 2026 DEF 14A proxy from SEC EDGAR (`goog-20260424.htm`) for director nominees, named executive officers, Class B shares and voting power.
- Alphabet SEC submissions JSON for filing discovery.
- Google Public Sector page for public-sector, military-branch service lines and leadership.
- Google AI Principles page for current stated AI-governance commitments.
- Google Cloud / STS Navy article lead visible in the Reel; current Google Cloud page was 404 through Jina, so the frame is preserved as a social-source lead.
- Google News / external snippets for Project Maven and JWCC context; official DoD page was partially blocked/404 through the automated route.
- Daily Mail/Verily mosquito article lead checked; Daily Mail article was accessible through r.jina but the current direct page served a bot wall. Verily/Debug legacy pages now return 404, so this remains a historical lead with caveat.

## Editorial position
This article verifies the corporate and government-contract facts without endorsing identity-based or antisemitic insinuations in the comment thread. Names/roles are included because they are public corporate officers, directors or public-sector executives, not because of ethnicity/religion.
