I watched in mounting horror as google systematically and deliberately nuked over half a million hits of image searches for ‘obama birth certificate’ in mid-July 2008.

"Over the past seven years, Google has created a remarkable partnership with the Obama White House, providing expertise, services, advice, and personnel for vital government projects."

So ... Where were they when the health care software was being developed?

I have tried to warn people for a while that “corporations” as a class have shifted pretty far to the left in recent years, and that carrying their water is becoming a way of hobbling our own political interests.

But many people are still suck in 1980’s mode, and automatically associate “corporation” with “free enterprise” and therefore “good.”

If only it were so...

Good find. The two charts referred to link up an amazing amount of data.

Google seems to be a de facto arm of the dems. Clinton emails reveal that google offered to help topple Assad. Google has massive amounts of information on virtually every US household—does anyone here think they won’t be helping Clinton in every way possible during the election?

Google was heavily involved in the Obama/Jaarrett attempt to hand Egypt over to the muslim brotherhood during the “arab spring.”

When the healthcare software was being developed, that was apparently just about getting funds to Obama friends. The DB they built was perhaps $4M if actually done.

WHY was Google allowed to land its corporate jets on NASA bases beginning more than a decade ago?
