Police, Bomb Squad, FBI Surround Google Whistleblower
True Pundit ^ | Aug. 14, 2019 | "Thomas Paine"

San Francisco Police, its bomb squad and the FBI surrounded the residence of Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies, just hours before he was scheduled to provide evidence to the Justice Department detailing how the tech giant has been manipulating its algorithms to promote an anti-Trump agenda and censor Conservatives on Google and YouTube.

Vorhies is a former senior Google software engineer, who on August 5th was in the process of delivering a Google laptop and internal documents to the Justice Department’s Antitrust division. But his whistle blowing efforts were stymied by police who stormed his neighborhood and locked down several blocks in an attempt to lure him from his San Francisco residence, at the request of Google executives.

What was Vorhies’ crime? Google executives told police that Vorhies was suicidal and a potential danger, Vorhies told True Pundit. The tech guru was red flagged by his former employer. According to news reports and witnesses, as well as video clips of the law enforcement operation from local TV news, police closed several blocks surrounding Vorhies’ Valencia Street residence.

“This is what happens when you are a whistleblower,” Vorhies said.

"Great example how the ‘red flag’ laws will be used to squash political opponents. Red Flag should be eliminated "

BUMP

It’s breathtaking that the FBI has so little concern for its reputation for corruption that it would be in (and probably in the lead) on this.

Great use of CA’s red flag law. Let your congressman know we need more of this.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, and other GOP reps, have voiced support for red flag laws. It would be good to contact him and others with a link to this article. They are about to make a deal with the devil, which will also be used to defeat them in the next election.

“It’s long been rumored that Google is a CIA operation. And it’s looking increasingly likely that the FBI’s primary job is to clean up after the CIA and keep it safe.”

Careful, you may be on to something.

The FBI is so corrupt that — count on it — some President will require a name change.

May Google HQ should be stormed and burned to the ground for being anti-freedom and anti-American.

Google’s way of getting back what they claim is a company laptop. Nothing to see here, move along.

Welcome to Red Flag America, President Trump and Mitch McConnell. When anyone wants to turn the members of the Deep State in, they’ll be pronounced “a danger to themselves and others” and carted away to an insane asylum. This is how the old USSR kept a lid on their troublemakers for 70 years.

NO “RED FLAGS” IN AMERICA. We cannot trust government judges and agencies with our First Amendment and Second Amendment freedoms.

Shouldn’t the justice department be finding out exactly behind who is having their witness ‘swatted’ when he was set to testify and charge them with obstruction?

This also sounds like witness intimidation.

Who holds the trump cards here? no pun intended

Well this is certainly taking a very interesting turn...the guy could be a kook, but if he’s legit, this seems to say that Google is hiding some really bad poop.

Disturbing. They’ll bankrupt him. They’ll make certain he’s got a mental illness and ratchet up the psyop. I’ve seen this before in a minor way but it’s what they do. Google is not your friend( preaching to the choir on that one)

Why would you think the DoJ is unhappy with this?

Reading the article, it seems he was successful in turning over the laptop to someone in DOJ. Just wow that Google could pull this kind of op.
