Dr. Eric Schmidt is a US billionaire who works for Alphabet (a.k.a Google). He was a 1997 WEF Global Leader for Tomorrow and has numerous other deep political connections.

Role in Obama 2008 and 2012 Presidenital Campaigns

Eric Schmidt played a crucial role in Obama's '08 and '12 presidential victories. The two spent enough time together that The Atlantic even embraced the relationship between the them as a "bromance." Among other things, Schmidt spearheaded the creation of the Obama Campaign's revolutionary voter database.[1]

Just weeks before the '08 election, in late October, after working as an "informal advisor" on Obama's campaign (on "technology" and "clean-energy" issues) Schmidt finally joined Obama's side, publicly stumping for him on the campaign trail.[2]

During the '08 campaign, Obama offered to create a "Chief Technology Czar" position for Schmidt in his admistration, should he win the election. Schmidt, through a spokesperson, turned this offer down.

Obama's government made a number of decisions very beneficial to Google, Schmidt, and Schmidt's interests[3][4][5]

“During the 2012 campaign, Barack Obama’s reelection team had an underappreciated asset: Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt. He helped recruit talent, choose technology, and coach the campaign manager, Jim Messina, on the finer points of leading a large organization. “On election night he was in our boiler room in Chicago,” says David Plouffe, then a senior White House adviser. Schmidt had a particular affinity for a group of engineers and statisticians tucked away beneath a disco ball in a darkened corner of the office known as “the Cave.” The data analytics team, led by 30-year-old Dan Wagner, is credited with producing Obama’s surprising 5 million-vote margin of victory.[6]

2016 US election

Full article: US/2016 Presidential election

Emails released by Wikileaks showed that he was in contact with John Podesta and involved as campaign advisor of Hillary Clintons 2016 presidential bid.[8][9]

2019 Bilderberg

At the 2019 Bilderberg, Dan Dicks "confronted" Eric Schmidt about the removal of certain voices from the internet. 5 days later YouTube had demonetized Dick's account.[10]

"Private" role in Biden Science and Technology Office

“As President Joe Biden granted his science office unprecedented access and power, one outside adviser to that office has attained what staffers describe as an unusual level of influence”
Politico [11]

A Politico article describes how a foundation controlled by Schmidt had been dictating what went on in Biden's Office of Science and Technology for its entire first year[12]
