Google staffers talked of manipulating search results to combat Trump’s travel ban, claim they didn’t do it

18

Google says that this manipulation wasn’t implemented. Who are they kidding? There is longtime, documented manipulation of Google search results. For years, Geller Report has been reporting on Google scrubbing and censoring any criticism of Islam, jihad and sharia. A handful of my brave colleagues and I have been reporting on this dangerous development since 2010. We were shouting into the wilderness, much the same way our banning, suspending and blocking on all social media platforms fell on deaf ears. The left applauded it. The right abandoned us, as they do with anyone whom the left deems too this or too that or “extreme” (as if defense of freedom and individual liberty were “extreme”). The RINOs and the spineless, gutless wonders on the right shrugged. They were never going to stand up for those braver then they were, and those of us with the courage of our convictions. Appeasers thought feeding us to the crocodiles would keep them safe, “in with the in crowd.” But of course, it had the opposite effect. Once the left saw they could take down the most effective voices on the right, the lily-livered were a piece of cake.

“Google staffers wanted to manipulate search results to combat Trump’s travel ban, emails show,” by Brian Flood, Fox News, September 21, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

Google is in the spotlight after internal emails show conversations between employees highlighting a desire to manipulate search results on the heels of President Trump’s controversial travel ban in order to mute conservative viewpoints and push ways to combat the ban.

Like many Silicon Valley titans, Google has drawn the ire of conservatives who feel right-leaning views are condemned from within. But internal company emails made public by Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday appear to show employees wanted to curate Google’s algorithm to boost left-leaning political views on immigration.

The emails were written on Jan. 29, 2017 — two days after Trump signed the initial travel order that resulted in protests across the country. The emails indicate that Google employees suggested ways to “leverage” the search engine to combat what the tech giant staffers considered anti-immigration rhetoric and news. The email chain, which was first obtained by “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and quickly matched by the Wall Street Journal, shows Google staffers admitting to colleagues that action must be taken immediately to rally against the travel ban.

“Overall idea: Leverage search to highlight important organizations to donate to, current news, etc. to keep people abreast of how they can help as well as the resources available for immigrations [sic] or people traveling,” an email sent by a marketing employee said.

“I know this would require a full on sprint to make happen, but I think this is the sort of super timely and imperative information that we need as we know that this country and Google, would not exist without immigration,” a product manager responded.

According to “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” responses from other Google employees included comments such as, “we’re absolutely in,” and “excellent initiative.” Other emails reveal an employee called the situation a “highly political issue,” while a separate email detailed a “large brainstorm” that was apparently taking place throughout the company.

The emails show Google staffers chatting about methods to alter the company’s algorithm to point users to pro-immigration organizations, lawmakers and agencies that fit the staffers’ political beliefs. Google didn’t deny the validity of the emails and provided the same response to both “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and the Wall Street Journal.

“These emails were just a brainstorm of ideas, none of which were ever implemented. Google has never manipulated its search results or modified any of its products to promote a particular political ideology — not in the current campaign season, not during the 2016 election, and not in the aftermath of President Trump’s executive order on immigration. Our processes and policies would not have allowed for any manipulation of search results to promote political ideologies,” a Google spokesperson said.

A Google insider echoed the company spokesperson and said the ideas mentioned in the emails weren’t even close to being put into action.

Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor told Fox News that the scandal would be more significant if there was evidence that the Google staffers had “actually taken action on this left-wing insanity,” but “it is scary that manipulating the search to push a liberal agenda was even discussed.”…

OOPS! It’s falling apart!

Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford has stated three witnesses were present at the mysterious high school party where she claims supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her approximately 36 years ago.

Four of the people Ms. Ford claimed were present, including the accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh, now publicly state they have no knowledge of anything related to the accusation; including no recollection of any attendance at any gathering at a high school party claimed by Ms. Ford.

The only person left claiming attendance to a party; at the unknown time; in the unknown year; at the unknown residence; is the accuser, Mrs. Blasey Ford.

Once again, not that it is surprising, the denial of a never-ending manipulation by Google, Facebook, etc. of the search results or the censoring of those with a diverse or are contrary to the Liberal Progressive opinion of Islam or politics. Honestly, there is something deeply amiss in not merely America but the once upon a time Western democracies when denying the people’s rights of freedom of speech are enabled and negated by the DOJ and other government agencies. Nor is it only the Silicon Valley oppressors or mobsters/syndicate censoring the First Amendment and intellectual integrity; schools, colleges universities, Federal, State, and Municipal governments practice the same discriminative unlawfulness.

We know that Amazon and Google (&Facebook & NIKE) are Un-American Companies. Bezos bought the Washington Post to spew his Un-American core beliefs, hatred towards America and very fake news, while providing a lobbying shield for Amazon. Bezos and Wa-Post love reporting convenient “Last Minute Rape” tales to help the Ultimate Un-American- party .. the Democrats. Google, Brin and his absolute token “ceo” Pichai love to read your email, use and sell your information and hide real news while promoting fake news (kind of like Facebook) Coincidence?. They all cried in CULT-LIKE unison over the Trump election win in a famous secret corporate get together (watch that video) :)). They too hate America. Incredibly, for centuries – Sergey Brin’s family got raped and beaten in Russia. Now I know why! The Russians were smart. They finally got rid of him. Now after running to the US with his family he immediately shows he is also Un-American (listen to the video)!. Google, Amazon, (&Facebook) do not care about America. They will invite anyone who will buy their product – “Muslim terrorists included” –>> Why else promote open borders, in which case you don’t know who is coming in? Why else promote sleazy and un-American liberal views while deliberately stifling Conservative discourse? Why else should Google chieftains want to hide like vermin that they are from the Senate, from “We The People”, even after videos of secret cultist meetings leak? Given this, we need to stop buying Google, Amazon, Facebook (and NIKE), products, and seriously look for alternative gear. Finally, until shuttered, these companies need to be monitored closely by WE THE PEOPLE.

God Bless Donald John Trump. MAGA!
