Project Veritas: Leaked Google Documents Prove Tech Giant is Censoring: Rush Limbaugh, Gateway Pundit, Newsbusters, MRCTV, Daily Caller, Michelle Malkin, etc.

In November 2018 The Guardian reported on  group of Google employees who published an open letter calling on their employer to cancel its plans to build a censored search engine for China.   Google employees were very upset that Google’s Project Dragonfly would allow the Chinese government to blacklist certain search terms.

But their blacklist operations were not just in China.

It is obvious that Google, Facebook and Twitter are using their own political blacklists to censor and diminish traffic to prominent conservative publishers and their supporters.

If you search Google for prominent conservative voices including: Mike Cernovich, Joe diGenova, Jack Posobiec or Gateway Pundit you will see hit pieces and biased attacks.

The Gateway Pundit is one of the largest, most accurate and most influential publishers in the country today.  But earlier this year if you searched Google for “Gateway Pundit” the first item that popped up was a hit piece on The Gateway Pundit followed by several more links that smeared our website.

On Wednesday Project Veritas released leaked documents from a Google insider that shows The Gateway Pundit, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Newsbusters, American Thinker, MRCTV, American Lookout, Twitchy, Daily Caller, Natural News, The Rebel Media, LifeNews, BizPac Review, YoungCons and many others are being targeted, censored, blacklisted and silenced by Google.

It doesn’t matter if you are pro-Tump or a Never Trumper– as long as you are conservative you made their list.

Censoring of Hundreds of Conservative sites in an attempt to change the outcome of the US election.

It is one of life's ironies
The creative types add Google and Facebook and Twitter tend to be liberals
Liberals are higher in creativeness
Conservatives are higher in conscientious

Whistleblower Comes Forward After Google Intimidates Him with Police ‘Welllness Check’

Project Veritas’ anonymous Google insider who released internal documents in June has decided to go public in a recent interview after receiving a threatening letter from Google and having the police show up at his home in San Francisco.

“This is an act of atonement, to make my conscience clear,” Zachary Vorhies, a former senior software engineer at Google, said in an interview with Project Veritas.

“I felt that our entire election system was going to be compromised forever by this company that told the American public that it was not going to do any evil.”

After his anonymous interview with Project Veritas in June, Google sent Vorhies a letter that said it knew what he had done. The letter made a series of demands, including that he hand over his laptop that contained internal documents he had saved over his time working at the company.

Although Vorhies answered Google’s questions honestly, he sent the documents to the Department of Justice Antitrust Division.

“I had been collecting the documents for over a year. And the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that they were going to not only tamper with elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States,” Vorhies said.

“They were intending to sculpt the information landscape so that they could create their own version of what was objectively true.”

After a Twitter user outed Vorhies as the anonymous leaker in June, attorneys told him Google would try to ruin his life. So he created a “deadman’s switch” to release all of the documents to the public in case something happened to him.

These concerns may have been justified, as the police were sent to find Vorhies, and San Francisco authorities confirmed to Project Veritas that they had been asked to make a “mental health call.”

“Google decided to do a ‘wellness check’ and from what I’ve understood from other attorneys is that they are trying to establish that I have some kind of mental problem to make their case easier,” Vorhies said. “This is a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company.”

Because of Google’s reaction, Vorhies decided to go public and release the 950 pages of insider documents to get the target off of his back. All of these documents were available to full-time employees, he said.

“When they see the documents themselves, they’re going to be shocked, they’re going to be terrified, and they’re going to be like, ‘How can Google so blatantly lie to the American public and lie to Congress when there is a pile of evidence that what they’re saying is untrue,'” Vorhies said.

One of those documents was a blacklist for Google Now, a feature on the Google app that has now been merged with the regular Google feed, which includes websites like Conservative Tribune, a section of The Western Journal, The Gateway Pundit, NewsBusters and many others.

According to Vorhies, this is just one of many blacklists.

“If Google wants to have political bias and they want to say they have political bias, that is their right as a company,” he said.

“But for them to go under oath and say these blacklists do not exist … is hypocritical at the least and perjury at the worse.”

This document, as well as the other leaked blacklists, is important because, in his December 2018 testimony in front of Congress, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “We don’t manually intervene any particular search. Providing users with access to high quality information is sacrosanct.”

Congress is currently investigating Google on antitrust issues. It remains to be seen whether Pichai or any of Google’s representatives lied to Congress.

The Western Journal has reached out to Google for comment but has not yet received a response. We will update this article if and when we do.

You know from all the stories on this topic all the posts with cut and paste articles etc and reading as many of the released material as I could stomach I am still to find a single comment that actually supports the claim in the topics title ?

Anybody got anything ?

The screencap looks like it's from the 90s...

"Google announced its first attempt to combat the circulation of “fake news” on its search engine with new tools allowing users to report misleading or offensive content, and a pledge to improve results generated by its algorithm.

The technology company said it would allow people to complain about misleading, inaccurate or hateful content in its autocomplete function, which pops up to suggest searches based on the first few characters typed.

It also said it would refine its search engine to “surface more authoritative pages and demote low-quality content” – and acknowledged for the first time that it had taken the measures to combat the threat of fake news.


Ben Gomes, vice-president of engineering, Google Search, said in a blogpost: “In a world where tens of thousands of pages are coming online every minute of every day, there are new ways that people try to game the system,. The most high-profile of these issues is the phenomenon of ‘fake news’, where content on the web has contributed to the spread of blatantly misleading, low quality, offensive, or downright false information.” "

The definition of "fake news" is anything Google want to make it. They become the arbiter of what is true or not.

The definition of "fake news" is anything Google want to make it. They become the arbiter of what is true or not.

Guaranteed to be a much higher standard than Trump uses ?

The vast majority have little problem identifying what is true and what is not. I would expect Google to get this right a high percentage of the time with a non biased error rate.

Nothing here that shows Google censoring the right.

Still Nothing here that shows Google censoring the right.

So by using the algorithm to demote the Daily Mail, a right wing paper according to some, that is not censoring them; merely putting them in their proper place.

Or it is something and that something is censorship, but you don't want to admit it.

If you limit the number of hits it gets by pushing them down a page or two  that is censorship. It is limiting the right of people to have access to ideas that don't fit their (Googles) credo. Putting things down a page or two has that effect.

How many times do you go to page 2 or 3 or more of a Google search?

Google was caught out with the 'Trump' 'Impeachment' thing in its search engine. Everyonr knows you have to skip the first twenty pages if you don't want left wing drivel.

Wow. That was dep and insightful. Not.

No wonder you change your name so much. 

No but honestly, didn't Google look more modern in 2011?

The people who pay the most get the highest rankings. Google is a business. Capitalism innit

I haven't been able to do so and it could be 100% fine, and judging by the url it seems to be so, but I guess I thought Google didn't look so... geocities in 2011. 

Dnarever wrote on Aug 19^th, 2019 at 3:56pm:


So if they give a site the wrong ranking it is not a bias; intentional or otherwise?

So of you people should check out Googles VERY DETAILED explanation of how sites appear in their engine and in what order. It is a very complicated procedure and so naturally, conspirotards don't/can't understand it so make baseless claims.

Search engine optimisation is for some companies someones fulltime job.

Seems that some of the explanatory examples were Daily Mail practices. Nothing to do with their politics.

It means that people are employed full time to get this right -to make sure that their web site will be optimised for search engine requirements.

Yes there is always a bias, a bias towards selecting more relevant and higher quality answers to the search. 

You may be interested to find that there were conservative sites that did better with the change. Huffington post went up 44%

Trump: Google Should be Sued For Manipulating 2016 Election in Favor of Crooked Hillary

President Trump on Monday morning said Google should be sued for manipulating millions of votes in Hillary Clinton’s favor during the 2016 election.

According to reports, Donald Trump received approximately 63 million votes and Crooked Hillary received nearly 66 million votes (illegal aliens included).

Trump however campaigned to win which is why he received 304 electoral votes vs. Hillary’s 227 EC votes.

Even with Google, the media, the DNC and every powerful person in DC on her side, Hillary Clinton still lost the 2016 election (she’s still blaming the Russians  ).

Trump is furious and called for Google (Hillary’s biggest donor in 2016) to be sued.

“Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!” Trump said in a tweet.

Still nothing to back up the title.

In fact:

Every claim when tested has not only failed to support the claim but effectively proven it to be untrue.

Claims made have been shown to be technically reasonable and not intentionally biased.

Yes the La La land extreme sites of the right and left have been caught in the fake and unreliable news filters and graded lower. Hardly an unreasonable result.

One earns the right to complain through suffering. How has Al Gore suffered?
