One of the bright spots of the past 3 years has been the emergence of Google whistleblower, Zach Vorhies and his insider confirmation that our most paranoid imaginings about Google were true with his gory details of how they've been actively working to censor independent content creators.
Vorhies, who was an engineer at Google-YouTube for 8 years describes working there as a dream job until he noticed a marked change in corporate ideology immediately following the election of Donald Trump.
This culminated into his jaw-dropping discovery that Google's mobilization against “Fake News” and with their supposedly anti-bias “Machine Learning Fairness” program was almost entirely designed to protect Hillary Clinton from scrutiny into her crimes (!)
For example, he says, “[Google management] said that Hillary Clinton running weapons through Benghazi was an example of Fake News.” Not knowing whether or not this was true, Vorhies did his own due diligence and discovered, to his surprise that there was overwhelming evidence that Hillary had not only funneled weapons to ISIS, but that ISIS had fired a stinger missile she'd given to them, which didn't ignite, therefore allowing it to be traced back to her.
It was at this point that he began to ask himself if Google's efforts were “really about Fake News or is this really about controlling the narrative?”
Then he thought, “If they have a way to classify ‘Fake News', then they must have some way to execute on removing this ‘Fake News' from their search engine.” He scoured Google's corporate intranet to discover what was doing this, which is how he discovered the project known as ‘Machine Learning Fairness'.
“They had put a lot of time into this project” and into convincing fellow managers into giving a priority to the project for all of their different systems, including Google Search, Google News and YouTube.
He'd stumbled upon these plans in early 2017 and was shocked over the course of the rest of the year, to watch it being pushed into more and more projects and to see more and more people hired for it. They were clearly going into an implementation phase.
Vorhies grew increasingly concerned and wondered why Google had decided to sacrifice their own mission statement as a company, to ‘organize the world's information and to make it universally-accessible' – by censoring everything!
He then describes an instance of how Google collaborated with the New York Times and the Washington Post in a psychological operation upon the world, when they removed the word “Covfefe” from the Arabic language section of Google Translator, to support the mainstream media in its full-saturation campaign to portray Donald Trump as “mentally ill”, in their bid to invoke the 25th Amendment and to have him replaced, due to his obvious “incapacitation”.
At this point, he had to ask himself whether he was witnessing a large scale act of sedition.
He then noticed that Google executives, including current CEO, Sundar Pichai lied to Congress by denying that they blacklisted any websites. When Vorhies went to check Google's corporate intranet, he found that several websites were blacklisted in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, including the independent cold fusion website, E-Cat.
Further digging led Vorhies to the discovery that Google had their own secret cold fusion laboratory, which has since been made public. So, not only has Google been blacklisting and depriving many businesses, especially competitors of search traffic but they've been aiding in an attempted coup d'état against the duly elected president, all while adhering to the KGB playbook of Socialist ideological subversion, according to the tenets described by Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov.
This is the best interview with Zach Vorhies by far, going into the heart-pounding details of his resignation from Google, how Google called a massive police raid that shut down 2 square blocks of downtown San Francisco with a bomb squad and two helicopters, followed by harrowing lawfare. He describes how he's strategized and prevailed. Zach is a real spiritual warrior.
He says all except one of the US' 52 State's Attorneys (except for California's, naturally) are now investigating Google with Zach's evidence, in addition to the City of New York and the Federal Government.
I didn't realize when I started this that I would end up on the front lines of an asymmetrical civil war. As someone whose business has been destroyed in part by the algorithms discussed here, it's been a validating experience to have a brave insider confirm what was so clear to many of us who make our living online and who could perceive that the Internet had been suddenly rigged against us.
It's been such a relief to have him come forward, after over three years of algorithmic censorship and recurrent de-platformings, destroying my business when I do nothing wrong, let alone illegal, while these tech companies remain inscrutable and unpunished. Together with the Full Spectrum barrage of Fake News from the Mainstream Media, that has brainwashed my friends and family, I have to say, the past few years have been very demoralizing.
Recently, there's been a ray of light. Around March 14th or 15th, I began to notice that my website's traffic had significantly increased but that this wasn't coming from my newsletter or from social media. This had to mean that it was coming from organic search traffic to my website's nearly 6,000 pages, that people are again able to find using Google. My search traffic has been shut off for the past three years, which translates to lower page views and less ad revenue.
Vorhies gives his theory as to why it seems that Google removed some of their censorship algorithms. Those “17,000 Google engineers” that Trump said he'd hired to make a coronavirus app (which they still haven't delivered) really only requires the skills of one engineer and no more than 3 days to create. He says each one of these engineers earns about $200,000 per year or a total of $3.4 billion per year – more, if the project stretches longer.
Vorhies' best guess is that Google has accepted the Trump administration's payoff to “unf@ck” their algorithms and to hopefully avoid serious trouble. Google has committed a laundry list of crimes with the expectation that Trump would not survive to prosecute them. The restoration of engagement-based search ranking should have an impact on the 2020 election.
