Google Censors Indymedia For Patrick Byrne,Overstock.com and Washington Post

by Tony Ryals (endoscam [at] lycos.com)
The removal of Indymedia's article-announcement to,' Boycott Advertisers in the Washington Post' by 'donna neversurrender' is, in my opinion, a censorship to protect Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com from scrutiny or criticism.
And coincidentally, as I will try and show, it begins in great part, with an ad he and an anonymous partner('O'Brien' who I believe to be Beltway political and stock fraud James Dale Davidson), placed in the Washington Post on February 8.
However, donna neversurrender 's plea to boycott the Washington Post in the Daily Kos remains on google search 'boycott washington post',whereas her duplicate article here has been removed from google search completely. Why ?

The reason I write this is to point to another cache 'gone missing on Google'.My previous significant experience of caches missing from Google occured last year in regards to the search words or terms 'schwab lom'.You may do a google search of those terms and note that much of the missing articles I complained about returned,thanks in great part, I believe, to http://www.news.com, who maintained my query titled,'Where Do Google Caches Go When They Die ?', on their website as a sort of reminder to Google of important disappeared cached documents that were embarrassing to Google to have gone missing in light of Charles Schwab's role in Google's IPO.

Here is the link to my news.com comment made in reply to a 2002 Google article on that web news site.A google search of 'schwab lom' will also still locate it and most articles I complained of that went 'missing' :

http://news.com.com/5208-1023-0.html?forumID=1&threadID=1621&messageID=20344&start=-1



Now the search words ' boycott overstock.com' that ,until quite recently, would have located the link below from indybay.org. has gone missing !!!! You may copy and paste the entire URL into the google search and find NOTHING !!!
Yet only a week ago the above search on Google would have led first to Indybay's and donna neversurrender's,' Boycott Advertisers in the Washington Post' ,followed by my plea to 'Boycott Overstock.com' until 'Byrne' disclosed the true identity of his pal 'O'Brien' below that.Now no search words 'boycott washington post byrne o'brien indymedia' etc.will locate the now disappeared Google cache of these Indymedia reports. :

http://www.indybay.org/news/2005/06/1748312.php

I could do a google search of 'boycott overstock.com' until a few days ago and the indybay link to announcement above to 'boycott washington post' appeared with my appeal to 'boycott overstock.com' that I added on below that,just as you can see by following the link above.

But now it is 'erased' or blocked or whatever from all google searches just as the 'schwab lom' search caches including my ripoffreport and theroyalgazette.com article about 'schwab lom' disappeared unti I yelled about it on news.com and they reappeared !!

If something or someone OTHER than the infamous 'google algorithm ' has not been the cause I would be very surprised.Yes I believe this disappearance was premeditated by someone(s).In order to get the link above today I had to enter the http://www.indybay.org website and search 'washington post'.Just a short while ago I could go to Google and search 'boycott overstock.com' and there it was.

If you are curious try adding 'byrne' 'senator bennett' or even 'indybay' to a search....nothing.These names and terms are all keywords to the search,or were.

The poster alias 'ncand3' who is also 'O'Brien'bragged on Yahoo's NFI message board a while back that he had connections to manipulate Google .He may be telling te truth for a change.


Below is what you get when you do a google search of 'boycott washington post' now - a link to dailykos.com.But the indybay.org announcement by the same donna neversurrender on indybay is nowhere to be found on a Google search!! Why ?

Just a coincidence or was the 'Boycott Overstock.con until 'Byrne' identifies 'O'Brien' that I added along with a related article by Carol Remond of Wall Street Journal the reason Indybay's cache was removed from a Google search ? And where did that cache go ? Carol Remond's article does appear on Byrne's own website as well as spitzer2006.Do you know of any internet search engine 'expert' who might render an opinion ? Will Google render a comment ?

This(below) is the only thing on 'boycott washington post' google search now,although Indymedia's identical article appeared on Google search and had its own cache until a short while ago.:

Oh and dear reader I realise the story I am discussing is long and convoluted and you are getting in on what I hope is even later than the middle of that 'story'.I suggest if you are interested go to the spitzer2006 link I provide and begin there.Also Mark Cuban's blogmaverick.com beginning the suject,Naked Shorts,I Feel So Dirty,in February and his later 'naked short' columns will begin to fill you in,including to Charles Schwab's role in hosting illegal pump and dump accounts and covering up for the criminals,including some Beltway insiders, who defrauded me.
