Election rigging: It's not Russia, Russia, Russia - it's Google, Google, Google...

and Facecrap, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.

Shadow banning, demonetizing, closing down sites, Facecrap "jail", and the myriad of other ways these social network sites and the largest search engine in the world have to silence conservative voices, has not even reached peak.

Now I know that many, if not most, conservatives doing research take into account the skewed results of any searches they may do.  I also know that most of us are willing to dig deep to find the truth - which includes using our brains and actually thinking.  What a concept.

My perusal of commie/libtards on Facecrap and liberal sites is that, by far, they either just post memes from sites like Democrat Underground or repeat mindless talking points without ever vetting what they're reading or repeating - with, of course, "racist" being lobbed about like a soccer ball on steroids.

With that in mind, and knowing that presenting the facts to these mindless drones is pointless, in the past I've taken the "what me worry" approach.

However, after listening to the testimony of this liberal professor to the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on "Google and Censorship through Search Engines" I've changed my mind somewhat. His testimony is chilling.

I might also have you take note of the respectful way in which Ted Cruz questions Professor Epstein.  Compare that to the angry insulting way Elizabeth Warren questions defense secretary nominee, Dr. Esper, interrupting and never allowing him to answer a question. Can you even begin to imagine this harridan as president of the United States?  I can't. e



Following is Dennis Prager's statement to the Committee and it's excellent!

Project Veritas Blows Whistle on Google. YouTube takes it down. And just like that - here it is...

screw you Google and YouTube.

Is there anyone out there who doesn't know that Google skews search results or that conservative sites are being demonetized and shadow banned on almost all platforms? Anyone?

*               *                 *                   

From James O'Keefe of Project Veritas:

BIG UPDATE: YouTube has REMOVED the video from their platform. The video is still available on this website page. (It's posted it below)

UPDATE 1: Congressman Louie Gohmert issued a statement, saying “Google should not be deciding whether content is important or trivial and they most assuredly should not be meddling in our election process. They need their immunity stripped…”

UPDATE 2: Google executive Jen Gennai RESPONDED to the video, saying, “I was having a casual chat with someone at a restaurant and used some imprecise language. Project Veritas got me. Well done.” 

Two weeks ago, YouTube pulled another Big Tech exposé video published by Project Veritas, likewise citing a privacy complaint. That video focused on alleged anti-conservative bias within Pinterest. "The established media and technology are so afraid of investigative journalism they need to censor it," O'Keefe tweeted in response. "YouTube calls REPORTING on someone by showing their face and name, and how they added a pro-life group to a porn blacklist, a 'privacy complaint.' Would they do this to NYT?" source

Breitbart leaks Google tape...

 telling us absolutely nothing we didn't already know.

I started to watch the tape, but after hearing the word "values" bandied about in the first 5 minutes, common sense kicked in and said, "Why exactly would you want to waste one hour of your life listening to a bunch of mediocre whiny chicken breasted slobs bloviate about their "values?"

I decided to use Google to research the "values" of the left.  Guess what I discovered?  Commie/marxist/libtard values are all good and conservative (right wing) values are all evil. 

It's over at Breitbart and they very nicely provided a list of highlights to read.

And then there's this:

Facebook bans #WalkAway founder Brandon Straka for mentioning interview with Alex Jones, linking to Infowars

His crime? He dared to mention an interview with Infowars’ Alex Jones and (brace yourself) linked to Jones’ site.  Acts that are now apparently doubleplus ungood, as George Orwell would say in his classic, “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” a book which has evidently become something of a guideline for Big Social Media companies like Facebook and Twitter.Worse yet, he said on Twitter, the ban took place as he was preparing for an upcoming #WalkAway march set to take place in October. read the rest

Willing Suspension of Disbelief...

don't do it.

Unless, of course, you're reading a really good book, or being entertained at a movie.

According to Scientific America:

Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge coined the term “suspension of disbelief” in 1817, but almost two centuries would lapse before we could infer how the brain might support this puzzling phenomenon. Coleridge asked readers of his fantastical poems, including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, to give him “that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.” That phrase, “poetic faith,” encapsulates what our brain is doing. It isn't that we stop disbelieving—it's that we believe two inconsistent things. We accept that we are sitting and reading or watching a movie. We also believe or, more accurately, feel that what we are reading or viewing is happening. more

Without an ability to suspend belief, there would be no reason for most novels, TV, or movies to exist because they would simply annoy us rather than entertain us. 

Key to what Scientific America is saying is their statement,  It isn't that we stop disbelieving—it's that we believe two inconsistent things.

The problem is MSM is requiring us to suspend belief in order to believe the lies they peddle. The even bigger problem is by dumbing down our educational system we have a vast number of people who do that very thing in order to sleep at night.

On Saturday, the communists and budding communists will take to the streets in a new march to take firearms away from law abiding citizens thinking it will solve the problem of "gun violence."  You know - when rogue guns go all berserker, jump out of a drawer, and proceed to blast away at unsuspecting victims. 

It's takes a massive dose of willing suspension of disbelief to think rogue guns are the problem. To fix the problem, the liberal mind sinks into a life of cognitive dissonance which is a crazy making way of living.  The only way out of the predicament is to come to the point in life where it's impossible for them to "square the circle" of dissonance in their thinking. 

Giving this some thought, a person would have to conclude the liberal brain meter needle is frozen on willing suspension of disbelief.

And anyone who suspended their disbelief in order to think that cruising around the internet with their data protected is in need of serious help.

FYI:

Fakespot: Checks reviews on products.  Is it legit?  I haven't suspended my disbelief quite yet, but they've been favorably reviewed by many top sites, which begs the question: Are those reviews trustworthy?

I've been using it extensively the past few days on Amazon products and so far it seems to back up my "gut instincts."

Is fired Google employee James Damore stupid, arrogant, or just naive?...

I'll save you trouble of wondering where I stand.  I vote naive.

He's clearly not stupid, nor is he the least bit arrogant.

What landed me on his side from almost the beginning is the fact that it's the libtards who are so outraged by what his memo said. And why is that?  Because he spoke the truth.

I might add that what the memo actually said is hard to determine since the MSM subverted and falsely reported on his document and published redacted and cherry picked versions of what he wrote minus his footnotes.

Here is the real document.

His naivety on how the world works is typical of someone his age.  When I was growing up my father believed anything that was printed in a newspaper because, gosh darn, it was in a newspaper so it had to be true.  I also realize that there are still people who think this way.  Our present day example of this is people who believe anything they read on the internet.

Adrienne's Axiom:

All news is fake news until proven otherwise.

We know that Google rigs your searches.  We know they data mine, subvert contrary opinions, and otherwise make it highly difficult to dig down to the truth.  

The long march through the institutions includes the world wide web.

Our schools, universities, media, entertainment, and even churches are now well stocked with the liberals who wish to control us.  People who are more conservative have learned to keep their opinions to themselves.  Conservative teachers, professors, and journalists know that to express an opinion contrary to the prevailing virtue signalling SJW's will bring the hounds of hell crashing down on their heads.  The left will not stop until they destroy anyone who speaks the truth.

For James Damore to have learned this lesson so early in life is a blessing for him.  He's a smart guy and already has many job offers.

We can learn much from this young man who spoke the truth. 

This is a very illuminating interview and well worth the time.  Listen and ponder.




Productivity tips for the day:

1. Put the taskbar on the bottom of your monitor on auto-hide.  It's nothing but a distraction.
2. Avail yourself of One Tab. I love it.
