Then you complain about corporate/govt fascism as defined by Mussolini? Yeah, that's where YOU are! YOU are siding with the fascistic corporate side that is fucking up the planet beyond all recognition. Google says "Do No Evil" and as far as I'm concerned, they're living up to that. You are not. Wattsupwiththat.com looks like a really stupid blog and I can't believe it was voted to be the best. Must have gotten scads of votes from dumbass rightwingers. Pharyngula is a far better science blog, there is no contest. And "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" a B-movie?? Pffffft it's a classic, big production A-movie all the way. That guy is an idiot. GOOD FOR GOOGLE! |

This is not about economics. Many of us have known for a good while that Google is now a tool of the emerging globalist corporate/banking one-world government. Google = NSA. Google = CIA. There is nothing that is done through Google in its various forms that is not data-based for the purpose of social control. The “New World Order” does not allow an organization that becomes as big and influential as Google to go un-controlled. The slogan, “Do No Evil” is simply par for the course in our Orwellian age of Doublespeak where is war is sold as humanitarian and ‘business as usual’ is sold as “Change.” The comment above regarding this being an issue of free speech is right on the money. It’s an issue of the attempted execution of free speech and the elevation of “perception management.” I disagree with the comment from sHx above when he says, “…as though there is something secret, illegal or immoral about taxation.” That is radically naive! As though there cannot be anything secret, illegal or immoral about taxation!!! HA!!! That is exactly the kind of slave-thinking they wish to create. sHx should read the history and legal track of our “income tax.” " |

Squidly replied with: "Hugh, You evidently don’t understand where Google is these days, and that is a shame. I would recommend that you open your eyes. This is by no means the first of this kind for Google, and I am sure it won’t be the last. Google has steadily been increasing its political and ideological views within their search results for quite some time. I am an SEO expert, perhaps one of the best in the country, and I can tell you emphatically, Google results are tainted and have been for several years now (getting worse). I have not trusted their results on any controversial topics for quite some time. They have become another Wikipedia. Further, Google is playing a very dangerous game, and I don’t believe they fully understand this. They seem to feel that they are so big that they above reproach. I can assure you that they are not. I predict that Google will fall from their “king of the hill” position within the next 5 years. Mark your calendar. Once you have begun the journey down the road they have chosen, you cannot turn back. It will bite them in the end." |

It’s the internet version of the Soviet Union’s mouthpiece Pravda. Google doesn’t care for truth, fairness or honesty; they believe in brainwashing, misinformation, lying and distortion. They want to stifle any group of people that doesn’t conform to their agenda. Big brother is Google. I mourn for democracy, freedom of speech and unbiased science. They’re all dead.

[link to www.wired.com] Google is heavily invested in GREEN…as is Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Their favored tech, like BLOOM ENERGY and both PV and Thermal Solar are heavily dependent on Government and SGIP Money to even be barely competitive with Natural Gas derived power. SGIP (the self generation incentive program) is stalled here in California, and BLOOMs biz models rely HEAVILY on these funds (and the creative use of limited amounts of things like ‘directed biogas’), especially since I suspect they are still trying to cope with things like a $12/watt cost and what I suspect may be a short stack life (see Greentechmedia write-ups). [link to www.greentechmedia.com] [link to gigaom.com] These boys at Google also have an Energy group that is heavily involved in all things green & energy trading, so I think all this Carbon hype and ‘PR’ is directed to propping up business models that will fail without carbon taxes/credits, heavy government subsidies, artificially high energy costs and a stimulated thirst for ‘green energy’…..whatever that is…….(think rare earth toxic processing and solar processing wastes fouling farming fields in China). Note 2 of their 5 pet projects are in energy. [link to www.google.org] They are also heavy into Solar, another subsidy hungry business model: This particular investment probably won’t do well with falling nat gas prices (or subsidies/carbon taxes): [link to www.wired.com] And: [link to www.treehugger.com] ….which was tagged for trouble with the ailing economy: [link to www.treehugger.com] …Which has continued to decay: [link to wealthcycles.com] Then you have Germany, Spain and other markets slashing solar feed in tariffs and carbon as cheap as dirt (cow manure is worth more per ton, FYI). You have stranded projects galore and the Gubmint has no real money left to support crony-carbon-loving and green tech….so they are in trouble. What do you do when you are caught between a failing green market failing economy and failing subsidy dependent technologies? =====>You say/do anything to can to save your @$$.<====== One linked article commentator asked if Google was the next Enron. I've been wondering that myself lately… |

Open the source view of just about any web page and count the entries for google. Including the home page of WUWT. And just for fun, google – oops, Bing “web beacon”. I’ve used a proxy server here for years and google has more entries in it than any other entity.

I just tested Dogpile vs. Google on these searches: H.R. 1 – Dogpile gave a clean list of hits (on the House Continuing Resolution) leading off with the Thomas website “Text of Bill” page for the current session – perfect. Google also offered this, but you had to wade through some unrelated fluff to see it. Agency Conflict – both sites delivered mostly the same results. Frankfurt School – both sites delivered mostly the same results. Conclusion: based on some search test topics that just sort of came to mind while reading Willis’s fine open letter :-) is that with Dogpile you lose nothing vs. Google, while you gain a cleaner search experience and you avoid the Google nonsense. No downside. So Dogpile it is… Thanks again for the info and thanks again Willis for providing the catalyst for this change." |
