Search & Destroy: Why You Can’t Trust Google Inc. by Scott Cleland and Ira Brodsky
THE FOUNDER BY CIA FUNDED
Google was founded by Sergei Brin now a billionaire, whose work at Stanford was
funded by your tax dollars funneled through the CIA. Google Earth cooperates with the US
military and in addition spies on people around the world, though the European Union has
filed lawsuits. One NYC poet said that Google Earth did not stop at building
walls but went through her window. Google Earth spies on the entire earth.

YOUTUBE
Google is slowly increasing time of commercials on YouTube from no ads to 5 second ads to 15 seconds to 30 seconds
GOOGLE IS A PARAMILITARY ORGANIZATION which makes all of its Google Earth data available to the US military.
LINK TRUNCATION
One day after criticizing Google's partner Wikipedia on the internet for its
prowar bias, Google listing of links for one author already truncated to 70,000
links was further decimated to 4800. In general, antiwar, environment, prison
rights, minority rights, animal rights, socialist activists and poets find their
links are not fairly reflected, are hidden or eliminated altogether from lists.
Vegetarians and vegans who request vegetarian restaurant listings in a certain city might
find a steakhouse prominently featured as first in the list. Those who ask
for the number of casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan find 2009 or 2005 articles
listed first. There is a matrix of warmonger media which includes
Google, Wikipedia, and Facebook, a social network which eliminated 850,000
Boycott BP page members. Facebook is the world's largest dataminer and privacy violater,
as it usesfacial recognition software. Another reports 73,000 links... but only 9 pages of links accessible
LINK SUPPRESSION
When one asks for a particular website, such as for John Perkins' http://economichitman.com.... one is directed first to 1 to 3 or more Wikipedia and other sites.
Someone can have millions of links, but Google allows access to only a small fraction of them.

Google gives out of date columns. For instance when Republican Governor Kasich announced plans to cut
Ohio library funding (but not funding for the hunters of ODNR), Google isntead directed searchers to a story about
Gov Strickland, out of office. When searchers ask for information about India's strong response to the violation
of strip searches in the US, Google gave precedence to 5 Time Warner CNN links which were Indophobic.

If Emily Dickinson has 8 million links, why are only a small fraction of them or any other person available?
Google's decimation of the links of activists, hiding of articles by peace, environment, civil liberties,
animal rights, spiritual and other activists, shilling for evil through the ads it runs, promotion of war,
environmental desecration, unethical datamining, connection to the CIA from its inception, use of Google Earth
technology to spy on people around the world, cooperation with the US military in illegal wars etc.
are just a few of its lawbreaking activities.
Google had contracts with authors in creating Google Books. Those contracts did not include datamining users
through requiring Gmail accounts nor that only Google would be able to cut and paste portions of text. Youtube is
now requiring a Gmail account in order to comment. Google's Gmail is upping the data required to sign up.

datamining or hacking by Google, Facebook and other corporate thieves.

"Google has accepted certain limits on the terms it can require programmers to

"Google has promised to allow website publishers to opt out of having their
content included in Google's specialized pages without opting out of having
their content listed in Google's main web search."

Big Porn Inc: Exposing the harms of the global pornography industry
"This powerful and humane book is a breakthrough...Big Porn Inc shows us we are poisoning our own spirits." - Steve Biddulph
"A landmark publication" - Clive Hamilton
The unprecedented mainstreaming of the global pornography industry is transforming the sexual politics of intimate and public life, popularising new forms of hardcore misogyny, and strongly contributing to the sexualisation of children. Yet challenges to the pornography industry continue to be dismissed as uncool, anti-sex and moral panics.
Unmasking the lies behind the selling of porn as ‘just a bit of fun’ Big Porn Inc reveals the shocking truths of an industry that trades in violence, crime and degradation. This fearless book will change the way you think about pornography.
http://melindatankardreist.com/products-page/books/getting-real/
"Getting Real contains a treasure trove of information and should be mandatory reading for all workers with young people in health, education and welfare" - Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, Adolescent Psychologist
Getting Real puts the spotlight on a critical issue of international concern: the sexualisation and objectification of girls and women in the media, popular culture and society more broadly.
Girls and young women are growing up in an increasingly sexualised environment. Girls are portrayed as sexual at younger ages, pressured to conform to a 'thin, hot, sexy' norm.
Clothing, music, magazines, toys and games send girls the message that they are merely the sum of their body parts. The effects of prematurely sexualising girls are borne out in their bodies and minds, with a rise in self-destructive behaviours such as eating disorders and self-harm, along with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
Getting Real brings together for the first time, some of the most vocal critics of the widespread pornification of culture. Academics, psychologists, authors and activists, they call corporations, the media and the sex industry to account for creating this toxic environment.
meanwhile the city of San Jose, (rich from plundering the world via Google et al) has a houseless problem (because we already have too many empty houses with bad mortgages).
recent news about the city closing the "Jungle" in Silicon Valley, makes this very sad day for Google and the powers that be.
" forcefully evicts all houseless people who constructed their own reality in a place in San Jose called the "Jungle""
