THIS FILM HAS BEEN ON GOOGLE VIDEOS SINCE 10/07 - it has now been pulled I spoke with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today and learned that Hillary's confirmation hearing in the committee is set for Jan. 13. They set aside two days for the "grilling." Co-incidentally, a film clip that has been on Google, and seen more over 10 million people, has been sudden pulled after 15 months. I have been contacting GOP members of the committee and sending them info so they may be able to ask a few questions of the junior senator from New York,...

Google this week admitted that its staff will pick and choose what appears in its search results. It's a historic statement - and nobody has yet grasped its significance. Not so very long ago, Google disclaimed responsibility for its search results by explaining that these were chosen by a computer algorithm. The disclaimer lives on at Google News, where we are assured that: The selection and placement of stories on this page were determined automatically by a computer program. A few years ago, Google's apparently unimpeachable objectivity got some people very excited, and technology utopians began to herald Google as...

Google's CEO is *still* funding Obama, even after the election. What does he expect in return?

I am interested in seeing if the full-page Open Letter to Mr. Obama that will be published in the Chicago Tribune on both Monday, December 1, 2008 and Wednesday, December 3, 2008 will be picked up by the MSM. I googled "Chicago Tribune""Obama""ad""December 1, 2008" to see how many hits there were. My search returned 672 hits. I then thought that if all the freepers started googling this over the next week it might be interesting. I have no idea how to drive internet traffic but perhaps all the searching on the same topic will raise the issue on google's...

Inside the world of Google censors By Michelle Malkin • November 29, 2008 11:05 PM Several weeks ago, I spoke with GWU law professor Jeffrey Rosen about my curious experiences with YouTube’s mystery censors. Longtime readers will remember the battle over “First, They Came.” For the past two years, my attempts to re-upload the little video about the Mohammed Cartoons and violent jihad were blocked. Other users were able to upload it, but it was blocked from my personal channel. Lo and behold, after Rosen inquired about it, the video is now available again. As of Nov. 16, 2008, the...

Obama is not president yet and the technofascist brown shirts are hard at work at Google, making sure that nothing stands in Obama's way. Google is blacklisting Pamela Geller's "anti-Obama" blog over at Atlas Shrugs. Ms. Gellar has incessantly covered the story regarding Obama's fake birth certificate. The story has recently gotten more traction and attention lately, yet the mainstream media has managed to make this story appear "silly" by not covering it:

The MSM’s nauseating, pro-Obama bias during the campaign was almost too much to bear. The Libs won, and the un-Fairness Doctrine is on the front burner, once again taking aim at right-wing talk radio. The fallback position for Conservatives has always been, “well, we always have the right-wing blogs.” Now it appears that Google is trying to finish off the right-wing blogosphere once and for all. More . . .

I went on line to find the phone number of my local GOP headquarters and I googled California GOP. What I got was a list of valid GOP sites but every one has a warning stating that the site may harm your computer. I notified the GOP rep. about this. He believes a hacker is at work. No such problem with Yahoo.

Not all of Google searches are random algorithms which they show on your first Google search page, but filtered to reflect their leftist beliefs. Compare and contrast the same search for Sarah Palin and the other for Barack Obama. The Google image search for "Palin Rallies" and the same Google image search for "Obama rallies"or see below.

I have tried to find the PUMA (Political Unity My Ass) website of those who are still supporting Hillary and against Obama. I had visited it before with no problem but did not save the link. So I went to GOOGLE - WRONG! You can't get there from Google. Every way I typed in the PUMA letters -- "PUMA women," "PUMA political," or even the full name for the acronymn, etc. sent me either to sites about the athletic shoes, other sites that had no relationship, and even when I tried to visit several of the links to stories on...

"The 9:59 video entitled "Burning Down the House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis" played four different songs under a fast moving video sequence that very clearly tied Democrats like Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson and Barack Obama to policies and corruption related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It cleverly showed how the "affordable mortgage" programs sent an economic virus through the entire economy and showed Republican efforts to intervene and regulate being blocked." "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group" You Tube pulls a popular anti-Democrat video off the web...

No sooner had the video gone up of popular Hispanic actor Eduardo Verástegui denouncing presidential candidate Barack Obama on abortion than YouTube officials took it down. The video sharing site removed the full version of the video, which showed graphic images of abortions. It did, however, leave an edited version in place that contains the Bella actor urging Latinos to vote against Obama without the footage of babies who have died from abortions. The Verástegui video has already caught fire across the Internet with more than 8,000 people viewing it in only two days. It features the former Mexican pop...

Last week, we published Babba Zee's Anti-Obama Blogs Shut Down by Google, Obamabots. Thurday, Blogger locked our original (and still quite robust) site, DBKP at Blogger for being a spam blog. One would think Blogger would have a system in place before shutting down blogs with any kind of Google Page Rank. After all, your average spam site doesn't acquire much of a page rank. But, apparently, one would be wrong. Our original site is PR-5. Were Obama supporters behind this latest round of blog shutdowns, as they were last month? In Obama's Netroots Supporters Continue "Blog Burning", Confederate Yankee...

Does Google Inc. violate the same "neutrality" principles that it wants mandated for Internet providers like Comcast Corp.? That's the argument being made by some who accuse the search behemoth of hypocrisy when it comes to free speech on the Internet. Here's the deal: Mountain View, Calif.-based Google recently drew the ire of several authors of anti-Obama blogs, hosted on the company's Blogger platform, whose posting rights were temporarily suspended after Google identified as them "potential spam blogs." "You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not...

Christian and other religious groups opposed to abortion were allowed to advertise on Google for the first time from today, after the search engine capitulated in the face of a legal challenge. Google had banned pro-life religious groups from buying adverts against search terms such as “abortion” and “abortion help” but was forced to abandon its policy after it was accused of breaching equalities legislation. The challenge was brought by the Christian Institute, a cross-denominational pressure group, who said that Google’s change of heart was an acknowledgement of the rights of everybody to hold an opinion on the subject. Mike...

The bloggers in question, most of them supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, and all of them opposed to Senator Obama, received a notice from Google last week saying that their sites had been identified as potential "spam" blogs. "You will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog," the Google e-mail read. In an article that appeared on Bloggasm.com, the reporter Simon Owens spoke with some of the affected bloggers, who said they believed that Google had fallen prey to a campaign by activists...

It looks like Google has officially joined the Barack Obama campaign and decided that its contribution would be to shut down any blog on the Google owned Blogspot.com blogging system that has an anti-Obama message. Yes, it sure seems that Google has begun to go through its many thousands of blogs to lock out the owners of anti-Obama blogs so that the noObama message is effectively squelched. Thus far, Google has terminated the access by blog owners to 7 such sites and the list may be growing. Boy, it must be nice for Barack Obama to have an ally powerful...

Is anyone aware of an attack on the American Spectator web site? Upon attempting to access the site (using Windows 2000NT with a Firefox 3 browser) I received the following warning: Looking up the site in Google, I found the following at the top of the entry list: I have sent an email to the editor's attention, but was curious as to whether anyone else has had the same problem. I wonder whether the Kos Kids or the MoveOn Morons have been at work here....

"If you're going to choose to commemorate some really quite bizarre occasions, and never, never in their history, never once commemorating Memorial Day, which is a very significant holiday in the United States, I think that says something about who Google is," says WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah. "By the way," he adds, "I like Google's product. I wish there were another company out there that didn't make me sick to my stomach." Indeed, the blowback against Google just underscores how ubiquitous and powerful the company has become. Google now accounts for more than 60 percent of all online searches conducted...
