The algorithm game in the search engines

It's no secret. I'm a one issue voter. After I check off the pro-life issues, I can go from there--conservative candidates, environment, education, local issues, etc. But I also use the internet to research these issues because there aren't just 2 sides--there may be 10, and I also use the ballot funding record as a guide. Deep pockets, dark money, bad dudes like Soros and Son. You've heard that Google, Bing, Duck duck go, and Brave have algorithms which push the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist media and organizations to the top, and most people will only look at the top 3 or 4 (which will all agree).

So here's my last search. I was looking through the articles written by Suzanne Bell, quoted in JAMA, about the nearly 9,800 lives saved with the TX heartbeat bill. (She was against it and has done a lot of research in developing countries.) Since it's almost impossible to do any political issue without Trump's name popping up, I started following the term, Global Gag Rule. This refers to a 1984 bill preventing U.S. tax dollars from going to foreign NGOs if they offer abortion services used in foreign countries. It's the "Mexico City" rule, and it was used under Reagan, GHW Bush, GWBush and Trump; it was rescinded for Clinton, part of Obama terms, and Joe Biden. Of course, it was referred to as Trump's Gag Rule by angry pro-aborts. Anyway. That's not the point.
 
I went through perhaps 15 pages with 10-15 articles on each page, and found the same articles all the way through: The Guardian; Guttmacher; NPR; Reproductive rights; NCAC; Center for American Progress; Planned Parenthood; KFF; ACLU; Salon.com; Democracy now; Huffington Post; Open Society; Vogue; and so forth. In other words, it's not just a few swings to the left, it was ALL pro-abort arguments, with inflammatory words, data, medical articles, NGOs, politicians, sad stories, opinions, etc.
 
Not a single word defending a policy that keeps American colonial invasion dollars out of the wombs and families of third world women.
 
There are lots of issues here if you look closer. Why can't foreign NGOs survive without that small piece of American aid? What else is U.S. dollars controlling in their "aid." Is this tied to military bases in that country? Are there any journalists coming out of U.S. colleges and universities, or grad schools that are conservative, or are they eliminated before they ever get into the job market? If one or two slip through are there any corporations or businesses that would hire them if their ESG score isn't desirable. There is no diversity of thought or values now in the education system or job market. DEI is DIE.

So you see, an algorithm isn't just an algorithm. It's life from the beginning to end affecting thousands.

Robert Epstein talks with Joe Rogan about Big Tech

I'm listening to Dr. Robert Epstein on Joe Rogan's podcast. Remember, Rogan is the latest the Left is telling you to hate. He had the audacity to tell his audience (much bigger than CNN's) to use inexpensive therapeutics for the virus. Epstein is very outspoken on surveillance and manipulation--S and M in Geek talk. He says Google is the worst, and never use Android. Dump those listening devices like Alexa. Google’s search engine he says on another site is the most aggressive spying tool ever invented — funded from the outset by the NSA and the CIA to identify people who are a threat to national security. Google records every search you conduct, and your Google profile contains a complete history of every search you ever conducted — even those sketchy ones! Worse still, he says, Google’s search engine is also the most powerful mind control device ever devised; it shifts the opinions of millions of people around the world every day without them knowing it."

Anyway, on January 21 he was interviewed by Joe Rogan (he seemed to be everywhere in 2019 and 2020). https://jrelibrary.com/1768-dr-robert-epstein/ He's a Democrat, never voted for Trump, but knows the elections are manipulated. Interesting listening about who/what is controlling us. He recommends Brave.com as your browser to not leave a trace. Another article I read said he recommended Startpage.com (no tracking). I use Duck Duck Go, which Rogan prefers to Google because it doesn't push sites to the top so you don't look further.

However, Epstein says Duck Duck Go really doesn't crawl the internet, but looks at data bases. He prefers Brave. There are no laws or courts that can control Google according to Epstein. Google blocks access to millions of sites every day, and there are no laws or regulations to stop it. Few congress people understand--but Cruz totally understands. How do you fight something that has $150 Billion in cash, makes political contributions, and can manipulate elections?

Epstein says Windows 10 is a tracking tool; it's very hard to get around it. Surveillance is just soooo easy and so profitable. He brings up the last speech of President Eisenhower--the military industrial complex reference most remember. But what many have forgotten, he also warned of the rise of a technological elite that could control public policy without anyone knowing. And that was 1961! Those people are now in control, and Google is the most aggressive and dangerous. The Facebook model is to create dissension and chaos because it makes more money. YouTube research by his team finds 70% of the videos are suggested by their "up next" algorithm.

Censorship by Big Tech


I have moved this comment of mine from Facebook:

"Democrats and their media buddies continue to blame Republicans for hesitancy to get the jab. Yet they were the ones sowing seeds of doubt about it when Trump was president--not because of science, but because of hate and they wanted to defeat him in the election. 

Also there are two groups that are always featured in low vaccination rates--1) blacks, and 2) health care workers. Democrats love to depict Republicans as knuckle dragging idiots who don't understand science. So what does that say about how Democrats think about blacks and health care workers?"

So, Facebook follows that up with a warning or suggestion about how to find information on the virus or vaccine.

Whether I use Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, WHO or CDC data, the geniuses at FB use algorithms that flag, target and demote my posts and comments so few will see them. Big Tech in collusion with the Democrat party is denying us access to information.
