Jeez Christ people. Don’t use Google to do searches or for most anything. Alternatives exist. Duck Duck Go is one of the best alternative search engines and they don’t collect data on you. They also have a great image database that is more useful then Google’s.
DuckDuckGo’s image search is now vastly superior to Google’s – as Google recently removed links to the actual images in the image search results (making their image search literally useless for most people).
Just right click on the image itself and depending on your browser you’ll get the option to either “view image” or “open image in new tab” or “save image”, etc.
startpage.com is another. They don’t keep a log, so there’s nothing to supeona .And if you want to pay to use a VPN for pseudo privacy, I hear Windscribe is very good.

For all their hate of guns, you should see the type of security they got. Not just gov but gugle, yaghoo, micro&soft. Sad part is all the guys who should be on our side, doing the sec work for them. Most are patriotic freedom lovers but a big check is a big check. The execs and their sec details would be tough nuts to crack if you wanted to express your displeasure with them.
Funny thing that. Last time I shot my target rifle at 300 yards the final 4 shots removed the staple from each corner of the target. Wondering what I could do if there’s a book depository in Silicon Valley? Shhh. Dont tell anybody.

Months ago, I pointed out how the whole “Q” phenomenon was likely an attempt to identify people who want to take down our government. Now you understand why.
diog, they are not waiting, they are actively involved. They are researching (the ‘autists’), they are spreading the word, they are asking people to create memes. All direct involvement in a scheme that can be turned around on them at a moment’s notice.
I have no problem with waking people up. However, convincing people that members of the deep state (three letter organizations) are going to suddenly cut out the cancer from their own ranks is fantasy. There has only been a handful of people who I know of (I can only think of about 4 at this moment) who have had the courage to speak up, and very few people know of them and what they revealed. Also it is my belief that tRump isn’t going to do shit (I voted for him by the way) We have to do WHAT WE CAN to quit feeding the beast at a personal level and if it comes to violence Molen Labe.

And yet, you can google Blacked Anal and get 20 million hits. Clearly they do have a strong corporate belief structure. And it appears to revolve around deviant sexual practices.

Of course they are watching. That is why the products they offer are free. The old adage about if something seems too good to be true, then it is applies here. Seemingly free services on the internet like google and facebook are not really free. They collect the data they can and sell it (or give it) to whomever they want to give it to.
Information is power. I don’t use google for searches, but I watch a good bit of youtube videos and I still use a gmail account. I detest the googles, but continue to begrudgingly use their products. I need to put up or shut up and divorce myself from them.

The man at the flea market who carried an OSS military coin in his pocket eventually gave it to me. Engraved into the vintage and patina’d surface were the words “You can run but you can’t hide” in hand written letters.
He also gave me a coin from the Secretary of the Air Force plus one from an Assistant Secretary of the Air Force. TSA found them in my pocket at the airport when they took my all my stuff to the back room for a complete search. They were nice when they returned my goods. They always give me a quick pass at the airports now.
It took 10 years for porn-spam mail to disappear from my email inbox. See, there is progress.
If you are a target of watchful eyes, be public about it I say, show a bit of panache short of florid insouciance. They been on my trail since the 60’s. Or, as Dr. Strangelove would say, “How I learned to stop worrying and love surveillance”.

So a guy I know tells me today that his I-phone is listening in to his conversations (he thinks). It’s an I-phone X, but he said the same thing happened when he had an I-phone 6. He was talking with someone (not on the phone, just in the mere presence of his phone) about geothermal home heating systems. The next day he starts getting pop-up ads about geothermal heating. Says he never searched it at all via phone or computer. Just talked about it. He gave other examples. Freaky shit.
Almost an identical incident happened to my wife and one of her friends.
I have been so vocal for so long in so many ways and I’m so below average in my technical skills there is no doubt what ever lists, files, roundup action plans, etc. there are in place, in what ever alphabet soup agencies are collecting and categorizing them, I long ago accepted the fact that if I am still around during UTOPIA…I will be “visited” sooner rather then later.
Have plans/prep for that too.

I’m thinking that sex workers ought to be thinking of getting organized. Must be millions of them and most would be libertarians I would think. Imagine the crowds and especially journalists they would attract to their conventions and action groups! They could spearhead climactic legislation by thrusting their perfect bodies onto the body politic by way of their very own Cathouse Party, which itself would be broken up into the Asian, Blonde, Big Boobs, Nice Asses, Darkie, Cute and Young, Nubile, and Redhead Cathouse SubParties, so that there would be something for about any man and enough women that their Cathouse Party would eventually rule the home of the brave and the land of the free in a nearly completely Libertarian country. Happy days would be here again. Go Cathouse!
I’d like to open up suggestions for Cathouse Party slogans.
Examples:
“Fuck the communists.”
“Tippecanoe and fuck you, too.”
“It’s the fucking economy, stupid.”
“Drill, baby, drill!”
“Give me Miss Liberty or give me a whipping!”
“Make love, not war.”

YouTube Goes On Rampage Against Conservative Accounts; Blames “Newer Members” Of Mod Team
by Tyler Durden
Thu, 03/01/2018 – 08:23
YouTube has blamed “newer members” of it’s 10,000 person fleet of content moderators for a virtual bloodbath of video takedowns, strikes, and account restrictions taking place across a large cross-section of conservative channels.
The Google division announced the new moderators in December, tasked with spotting said fake news, along with misleading or extreme content in the wake of a raging debate over the effect of propaganda and inaccurate reporting after Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election loss.
Google essentially responded to the crackdown on conservatives with “our bad,” after news of the mass censorship began to spread.
“As we work to hire rapidly and ramp up our policy enforcement teams throughout 2018, newer members may misapply some of our policies resulting in mistaken removals,” wrote a YouTube spokesman in an email. “We’re continuing to enforce our existing policies regarding harmful and dangerous content, they have not changed. We’ll reinstate any videos that were removed in error.”
Some of the banned accounts include:
Anti-School, Bombard’s Body Language, Charlton, Charles Walton, Defango, Dustin Nemos, David Seaman, Destroying The Illusion, Ron Johnson, Richie Allen, and Titus Frost.
Those who were issued strikes, partial bans, or temporary suspensions include According to Joe, Blackstone Intelligence, BakedAlaska, InfoWars, Jerome Corsi, Military Arms Channel, and MrLTavern, among many others. -The Outline
Over the last week, The Alex Jones channel was issued two strikes – however the second one was mysteriously removed hours later, maybe due to on overzealous “newer member” who disagreed with Infowars’ politics.
And last August, politically incorrect University of Toronto professor Jordan B. Peterson found himself locked out of his YouTube account with no explanation before regaining access.
Considering that there probably aren’t a ton of red MAGA hats proudly displayed on top of cubicle cabinets in YouTube’s San Bruno, CA headquarters or wherever their moderators decide the fate of content producers, it stands to reason that their fleet of eager new morality police – perhaps some of them having emitted primal screams upon Hillary’s loss, simply went on a rampage against mean words and scary guns.
Meanwhile, the Daily Caller reveals that Google has also enlisted the left-wing nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to participate in its “trusted flaggers” program. The SPLC notoriously branded African American presidential candidate and neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson as an “extremist,” while gaining a reputation for finding creative ways to label conservatives as “hate groups” in general.
The Washington Examiner’s Emily Jashinsky noted last year that “the SPLC’s claim to objectivity is nothing less than fraudulent, a reality that informed observers of its practices from both the Left and Right accept.”
“The routine of debunking their supposedly objective classifications occurs like clockwork each time a major outlet makes the mistake of turning to them when reporting on the many conservative thinkers and nonprofits the group absurdly designates as hateful.” -DC
YouTube says the trusted flaggers are equipped with digital tools which allow for the mass flagging of content for review by YouTube personnel. Moreover, the partner groups “act as guides to YouTube’s content monitors,” and engineers who develop algorithms to police more efficiently.
“We work with over 100 organizations as part of our Trusted Flagger program and we value the expertise these organizations bring to flagging content for review. All trusted flaggers attend a YouTube training to learn about our policies and enforcement processes. Videos flagged by trusted flaggers are reviewed by YouTube content moderators according to YouTube’s Community Guidelines. Content flagged by trusted flaggers is not automatically removed or subject to any differential policies than content flagged from other users,” said a YouTube spokesperson.
Another “trusted flagger” partner is the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Originally organized to combat anti-Semitism, the ADL – with it’s Soros-linked National director who last worked in the Obama admin, now spouts hyperbolic propaganda against conservatives, while failing to apply the same nebulous standards to the left. For example; their campaign to lump all Trump supporters in with white supremacists, while failing to mention far-left progressive organizations such as Antifa, Redneck Revolt, and only called listed the anti-Semitic black nationalist hate group New Black Panthers (founded in 1989) after they were called out on it last year.
YouTube’s mass censorship comes at yet another critical inflection point in the nation’s dialogue over gun control following the Parkland, FL shooting. While gun control advocates have been given a platform on major networks, gun rights activists have been muzzled – primarily when their opinion has to do with 17-year-old Parkland survivor David Hogg along with several of his classmates who are anti Second Amendment.
Hogg went on CNN and was allowed to call the NRA “child murderers,” (a claim which CNN host Alisyn Camerota told spokeswoman Dana Loesch “I don’t believe you” when it was pointed out), while conservative accounts suggesting Hogg is an actor, or that he was given lines to read for post-shooting interviews, are being censored by left leaning social media platforms.
Many have noted that Parkland 16-year-old pro-gun Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv has yet to be verified by Twitter, while Hogg and several of his classmates who went on Ellen to advocate for gun control have all been given “blue checks” by the platform.
YouTube also came under fire last week for promoting a clip of Hogg which fueled the “crisis actor” debate, featuring an exchange between Hogg and a Redondo Beach, CA lifeguard from 2017, in which the High School student places his boogie board on a trash can before getting in an altercation with the lifeguard.
After the lifeguard scuffle briefly became YouTube’s No. 1 trending video, it was removed under their harassment and bullying policy and apologized for helping to fuel the “crisis actor” theory.
YouTube’s official policy states that “harmful or dangerous” and “hateful” content may violate its guidelines – and if video creators receive three strikes for violating the rules within three months, YouTube will terminate the account.
Gee, I’m shocked I tell you, shocked. Who would have thunk it? By the way this will my last comment on the interscreens.
Hey Goolag, I’m right here with 50 million other armed patriots/ex-military etc. Just thought you might need a reminder. Have a nice day.
#Metoo…
I’m so secret squirrel, I don’t use proxies or anything, but I have this super-secret screen name, and only Admin has my e-mail, right?
