from the "make orwell fiction again" files:

google has memory holed the great barrington declaration

not only have they wiped it from the top results, they have salted it with false claims about "climate denial"

it's pure, simple propaganda

here's bing (who plays it straight)

simple, right? here's the declaration, here's the wiki page.

you can see the authors, kulldorf, gupta, bhattacharya's names and know this this was written by medical professors at harvard, stanford, and oxford.

there's no slant, not editorializing, it's primary source info.

now let's have a look at google.

pretty different looking results, huh? not only do they not lead with the declaration itself or its authors, they lead with dishonest hit pieces.

they try to tie it to climate denial and fake science.

um, no. this is "fake search."

the google results for "great barrington declaration" are simply not search results at all.

it's a propagandistic hit piece ducking the science, ignoring the credentials of the authors, failing to show the declaration, and spinning it as some kind of fringe cabal of "deniers."

it's staggeringly blatant once you see it, but will anyone?

or will they be fooled by this because it's subtle and you think google is a search engine, not a radicalized editorial column.

and it's now EVERYWHERE.

reddit will not allow users to see it. https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1314863303408201728?s=20

know what a man fears by watching what he tries to silence.

these groups know they have lost the debate.

they know that the facts and the science are not on their side.

and now they want to win by lying.

what choice have they left themselves?

when you have hitched your wagon to "credentialism" from buffoons like fauci and brix and ding and topol and then the REAL credentialed crowd shows up and calls you out, what can you do?

you're cornered by your own argument.

so you have to hide this fact. it's fatal to you.

and oh how they are going to try to hide it.

at the risk of sounding tinfoil hatty: big tech has become an apparatus of totalitarian fascism.

this is what that looks like. you push a government line and "right-think" while politicizing all things. https://twitter.com/TuckerGoodrich/status/1314674081778872322?s=20

government and business in the same bed to shape society for "it's own good."

that's what fascism is.

“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”

when mussolini said that, he meant it as a positive.

"totalitarian" was a complement.

and make no mistake, big business LOVES this.

it's profitable and certain and protects your market position and entrenches oligopoly.

big business does not like free markets. it likes "less competition and a thumb on the scale."

the LOVE fascism.

this fascism is always and everywhere a leftist youth movement. it's not right wing, it's left. (yes, i know what wikipedia says, it's wrong. read your history on where these parties came from. they all emerged from socialist parties)

now it comes from san francisco.

and this is the part we need to understand:

they thought they were the good guys. hitler, stalin, mussolini, all of them

they thought there were the way forward to a greater society, a more perfect nation, justice, & progress.

and the companies that helped them thought so too

they are not sitting around twirling their moustaches in sinister fashion plotting the the downfall of the world.

it's far worse.

they honestly believe that they are the anointed whose great wisdom & intellect gives them a right & a duty to tell the benighted masses how to live

they have convinced themselves that calling fascism "antifa" means they are the good guys

but make no mistake, this is an attempt to rule you and it's showing its true colors now

they, like all despots, believe that they will be benign.

history is not kind to that presumption.

we seem to be at a crossroads.

we can either see this for the power play that it is and seek out new ways to get information and communicate and take back our data and our speech, or we can fall under this spell and become lost in this propagandistic house of mirrors.

search and social media do not have to be like this.

the can be peer to peer, open source, and provide personal agency.

remember that you are not google's customer, nor twitter's.

you are their product.

they sell you to their customers.

did you not ask who pays the bills?

but this can change and will change.

the more they adulterate and censor, the more incentive there is to leave their walled gardens and find a better way.

this is going to be the awkward adolescence of internet and social media.

but it needs to happen.

it's time to grow up.

tacking this on to the end because it's a new development since this original thread.

google has kept the slant, but at least the dropped the full memory hole treatment.

perhaps we made a difference. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1315046517858856960?s=20
