Google’s search engines use faked results to pervert true meaning of jihad

Google’s skewed and biased search results are long known. This website rarely comes up in search results on issues I have focused on for fifteen years (despite its large readership). This website gets virtually no traffic, no referrals from Google. The proverbial deck is stacked in the information battle-space.

“How Google’s search engines use faked results to manipulate people’s views of jihad,” By Robert Spencer, September 5, 2016:

This post by Jihad Watch tech expert Marc offers extraordinary insight into how Google skews its presentation of information in order to manipulate people into accepting half-truths and falsehoods that serve the Left’s agenda. He explains how Google deliberately manipulates its results when one searches for the word “jihad” — and doubtless this is just one of countless examples of how Google advances the Leftist/Islamic supremacist line while burying the truth.

“How Google’s Search Engines use faked results for social engineering,” FreeSpeechDefense.net, September 4, 2016:

So how does it work, I’ll use one example, a simple Google search for the word “Jihad”, but first I’d like to give you some background on how Google search is understood and intended to work. My knowledge comes from a variety of sources, but is in line with the well known public authority on the subject of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), an employee and till recently the public voice of Google and its search engine, Matt Cutts, he now works for the Pentagon (yeh, I know). Google has published an “overview” of how it all works, but that’s a lot to get through.

So in a nutshell, Google is looking for the freshest, most authoritative, easiest to display (big screen and mobile) content to serve its search engine users, it crawls them, caching (grabbing) content, looking at the speed of download, the textual content, counting words to find the relevance, checking what it looks like on different sized devices. It also looks at what other sites link to it, both number of and “quality” of those links. When I say quality, it wants to see how authoritative the linking in sites are. They also have a number of algorithms in place that block the listing of “spammy” sites, but spam would not be relevant here. Additionally they also have recently claimed to boost sites using HTTPS to promote security and privacy (fox, henhouse – lol).

There are a few exceptions which I don’t think anyone could have issue with, a search for a single word might bring up a dictionary or encyclopedia, but more often, they add Wikipedia to the list of results, especially if it’s a busy wiki page with constant updates.

There is a way to beat these results and get to the top, and that’s by paying for the Google Adwords service, these ads at the top are clearly identified with a little “Ad” button, that is not the case here.

I am not in the US, so used a VPN to proxy my research from the US, as searches from other locations provide different results.

So search the word “jihad”, and you will see at the top of a list of 32 million results a list as this:

1. A dictionary definition
2. Wikipedia
3. A link to a page of the “Islamic Supreme Council”
4. A link to “Jihad Watch”

So we know how the dictionary definition and Wikipedia got there, but how did the “Islamic Supreme Council” and “Jihad Watch” get 3^rd and 4^th place? JihadWatch.org I know well, I do the server and site management, following SEO best practice, here are the major pertinent reasons for its high listing in such a competitive search, 32 million is huge in this game:

• Robert Spencer, an accomplished author is a prolific blogger, adding a minimum of 10 posts of current jihad related news stories of the day.
• It’s part of the domain name, that always gives a massive boot (searching “free speech defense”, my tiny, low volume blog always comes top).
• Doing a jihad site:jihadwatch.org shows that the word “jihad” is mentioned on the site 35,000 times, proving its main focus of discussion is “jihad”.
• A search for just jihadwatch.org shows that it is mentioned on 631,000 other sites pages (linking in), proving it is very authoritative and often referenced.
• Jihadwatch.org is currently the 10,488^th most popular website in the US, this fluctuates, but not much.
• The site uses HTTPS and a responsive (mobile friendly) theme, so it looks great on any device.

So how about the “Islamic Supreme Council”, I’d never heard of them. I asked a few people who have studied Islam, they hadn’t either, so lets look at the comparative statistics:

• The site is run by Sheik Kabbani, a Naqshbandi Sufi. It has additional posts added a couple of times a year, the latest news panel lists an event in 1996.
• It has “Islamic” in the domain name, understandable that Google maybe has confused the two words. /sarc off
• Doing a jihad site:islamicsupremecouncil.org shows that the word “jihad” is mentioned on the site 123 times, whereas searching the word “Sufi” brings up over 200 results proving it’s main focus of discussion is not “jihad”.
• A search for just islamicsupremecouncil.org shows that it is mentioned on 79,000 other sites pages (linking in), showing it is as 1/10th as popular/authoritative as jihadwatch.org.
• This is confirmed with an Alexa popularity search, showing it is the 307,832^_th most popular site in the US.
• The site does not use HTTPS, and it is very mobile unfriendly, using technology from a previous millennium (I’m not kidding, it’s using web standards from 1999 if you look at the source files).

So what’s up? How does the site get this boost, if you search the word Sufi, the “Islamic Supreme Council” isn’t even listed in the top 10 pages. Funny thing about the meaning of the word “Jihad”, to the fast majority of Muslims they themselves know of two meanings, the Google dictionary definition at the top of the results is correct:

1. (among Muslims) a war or struggle against unbelievers.
2. the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin.

Often differentiated as the greater and lesser Jihad, but Sunni and Shia Muslims, who make up the vast majority of Muslims, understand when the word Jihad is used alone they mean the violent kind, world conquering imposing of Sharia law, blowing stuff up and cutting heads of infidels, and they accept the lesser Jihad as a false construct, but that’s another debate, you can read more here at wikiislam.

But what is unique about Sufis, a tiny minority of Muslims, if in fact they are Muslims, as the vast majority of Muslims do not accept Sufis as such, and many Sufis themselves do not identify with being Muslim, is that they are unique in only having this peaceful, lesser Jihad, being somewhat pacifists, ironically often violently targeted for their beliefs in Muslim majority countries.

So in conclusion, how are you being socially engineered by Google? Anyone doing a search for Jihad will think they are seeing an opposing, authoritative view of Jihad Watch’s, but the “Islamic Supreme Council” is of no authority, it’s poor in every way. Nonetheless, the Googler will read all about all this peaceful unrepresentative Jihad, trusting Google will live by their moto “Don’t be evil”. Former Google CEO and current executive chairman Eric Schmidt once said, “it was a dumb rule merely because the word ‘evil’ isn’t really defined, and Google doesn’t quite know what evil is.”

So how about another site which might be more of an authority on Jihad in the US, cair.com (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is constantly being updated, is far more popular at 146,590th place, actually probably even more so, as it has a vast network of sites. A search for jihad site:cair.com gives 342 results, and is mentioned and linked to a whopping 60 million times, it’s mobile friendly and has HTTPS enabled, and it’s not even on the top 10 pages of results for a search on Jihad. Odd, that except their own political agenda is for Americans to believe the Sufi understanding of Jihad is a common Muslim understanding, rather than their own aggressive one, with proven ties between CAIR, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Some would say “a war or struggle against unbelievers” Jihad was CAIR’s main purpose, advertising that fact doesn’t help their agenda, much better American Googlers read the Sufi version for them. I think I have described in detail how this subtle manipulation works.

It’s not a secret. Facebook has been at it also. The connections with the Obama administration and now Hillary Clinton are well documented. My enemy’s enemy is not my necessarily my friend, but here is what Julian Assange has to say on the collusion between the US administration and Google.

They should change the name from Google to the Obama approved search engine. A good example over twelve months ago to search ‘ISIS beheading Christians in Syria’ there was over an over about a single incident of an ISIS terrorist who was beheaded by Christians and nothing absolutely nothing else to be found.

Google and Clinton- a partnership.
A good example of Google censorship is the LGBT community, google will censor child abuse by same sex couples to protect the LGBT cause.

By the same token, if you enter “Hillary’s health”, about which there are many legitimate concerns, you will be directed to everything but that. My advice is turn off all auto-suggest and auto-fill functions and do your own thinking instead of letting a device do it for you.

Thank you and please let us know what you find. There are many legitimate concerns about her health (think Thomas Eagleton and his electroshock therapy for depression) and that her pantsuits disguise her catheter as well as her “buffalo butt”.

Well the Wikileak didn’t really impress me. It was just evidence that she searched for info about certain drugs, and this has implications. It was the videos that impressed me the most, especially this one at http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-04/dr-drew-asked-retract-hillary-health-comments-received-scary-creepy-phone-calls (shown below), which I hadn’t seen before. This is a journalist whose articles just suddenly started disappearing. A very sincere and respectable young man, and it is rather disconcerting to say the least…

Not surprisingly, there are many critics of WikiLeaks with their main theme being that Wikileaks is somehow being underhanded when in fact it is the media at Large that is being underhanded. Even if there is hacking to get this information I would say in the circumstances with all the evidence of the deceit on the part of this administration and the media that it was justifiable from a higher moral ground. I forget the site but you can find it with a little effort where it shows the obvious negative press in the media directed at Trump vs. Hillary.

Is that in the “settings” function of the email? And would that open you up to any kind of hacking by others? I’m not terribly astute at these things….

Also….is there any other search engines that are not being skewed? How about Bing? I know it’s a Mircrosoft search engine…and I tried it years ago, but it has very little to offer on searches……

I have an adroid device and it was under “settings”. I turned off every auto function I could find but it still slips something in occasionally. Every time it does I think of that TV ad showing a kid spiking his hand held device into the pavement, giving me ideas.

Good suggestion. People need to quit relying more on what the media tells them. I do think that is happening more but having censored information doesn’t help with critical thinking.

The reason I have been boycotting Gew-gul since 2007: I was using Gew-mail to discuss my aged dog’s bad health with the woman who once lived with the dog and me and who gave me the dog when we separated.

I put the dog to death by veterinarian.

Gew-gul–who had been scanning my e-mails the entire time–continued to advertise dog food and other dog products after I killed my 14-year companion.

This left such a bad “taste in my mouth” that I swore that I would never utter the name of that company, nor would I use their search engine and I would spit whenever anyone said “Gew-gul that.”

(Aside: The woman and I resorted to sending password-protected, compressed files as attachments to e-mails to communicate.)

We KNOW what is Jihad !!! Remember Beslan / The Order 777
On September 1, 2004, muslim terrorists stormed a school in Beslan, Russia, and perpetrated one of the most heinous terror attacks in history. Though many people may have heard of this attack, it is very likely that most do not know what really happened there. The reality is so dark that few dare speak of what went on. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/at…

I remember that horror……someone needs to make a list of all the horrors of Islam that most people have forgotten…..

The Muslim/Marxist President Obama is quick to bring up the Christian Crusades……while leaving out the reason for them….Islam was slaughtering people traveling to the Holy Land……but Obama makes it like Christians were the problem…..but then he and Killary are acolytes of Saul Alinsky and his teachings…..and he taught radicals to change the game by changing the meaning of things and events…..

If Killary gets in the White House we’re going to see Obama’s evil twin and she will be ruthless……

Because they ARE traitors! Muslims had conquered 56 states in the last 1400 years. But not only by islamic terror and war, or their birth rates and Taqiyya…But also with the help of the own traitors inside the ranks of the powerful and in charge, of the countrys which they had invaded…

From time to time everybody gets around to accusing Google of fudging the search results. It is easy to make such an accusation, but very hard to prove. Certainly, the very limited anecdotal “evidence” presented in this article is insufficient to draw any conclusions from whatsoever.

To put matters into perspective, it must be remembered that when Microsoft was trying to grow their rival Bing Search, they employed an army of shills to disparage Google and accuse them of manipulating search results in favour of their business partners. In the end, Microsoft formed a committee of Google rivals that through underhanded tactics, managed to get Google hauled up before the antitrust authorities in both the USA and Europe. The investigation in the USA found no violations, but the EU is a different story. They are currently in attack mode against Google and Apple to rip off all the money they can from American companies.

As far as search rank on this particular site, Pamela could take some advice from the SEO expert mentioned in the article to create a better quality site. Dear Pamela has been fighting the good fight for us all, for quite some time, but there is no way to capture that in an algorithm. Instead, these search algorithms look at site quality alone, and though I hate to say it, this site would appear to a search engine as trash, with all the ads and pop ups. Google would never send anybody to a site like this. Google’s algorithm has no way to weigh the value of Pamela’s wonderful and thoughtful articles buried amidst the clutter of ads.

“Google and Apple to rip off all the money they can from American companies”
Bollocks! All the mega-global companies look to avoid taxes by shifting their profits around. It’s just good business practice; therefore they are ‘ripping off’ those countries where they don’t pay what the laws demand.

Interesting counter. However the liberal media is in the majority control in this country and as such we know that they do play games. One case in point is facebook censoring regarding republican points of view. Another is the media attack on trump by the leftist media that clearly outdistances any towards hillary. I do agree about the amount of ads as a pestering nuisance on sites that may affect selection on searchs.

This is very interesting and evidence that even with critical thinking if the information is censored it can lead to the wrong conclusions. Plus, it is an invasion of privacy to have our minds manipulated in such ways. Orwell would be proud the way 1984 related to our lives today – or then again maybe not.
