Google cooked the algorithms to help Hillary Clinton gain over 2.6 million votes

Statements made by President Trump and other conservative leaders about the censorship and bias on sites like Google have been written off as “right-wing conspiracy theories.”  Google enjoys comfortable legal protections under what is referred to as “Section 230,” which means that Internet publishers aren’t held responsible for user-generated content - as long as they remain a neutral platform.

But Google’s actions outline more than just a strong bias, they show active involvement in an Orwellian effort to change of outcome of future elections and the political climate in the U.S.  Google’s internal documents have initiatives with dystopian titles such as “Project Purple Rain: Crisis Response & Escalation,” which refers to keeping an around-the-clock staff dedicated to controlling news narratives as soon as a story hits the headlines.  Other documents show “fringe rankings” and “feed blacklists” as a way to discredit and demote sites which share information without a liberal lens.

If this was honestly about what the users wanted to see, Google wouldn’t have to implement procedures to manually change the rankings as the organic clicks would scale themselves.  Now employees of the tech conglomerate, who once prided themselves as scientists, now treat their own technology like a religion.  It doesn’t matter that machine learning and user trends support what they label nefariously as “alt-right.”  Instead, they will tinker with their own algorithms until they support their faith-based ideals of what “ought to be.”

One researcher, Dr. Robert Epstein, who spent years studying Google and their influence, concluded and testified to Congress that the sequence of Google’s top search results have a measurable sway on undecided voters and in the 2016 election cycle and led to 2.6 million votes in Hillary Clinton’s favor.  Dr. Epstein warns that those numbers could increase to as much as 15 million influenced voters in 2020.

Modern leftists truly believe that conservatives are evil, so the idea that they have to cheat and manipulate in order to win elections is seen as justifiable and often called “resistance.”  However, thanks to work by these researchers and brave whistleblowers there is and will be pushback.

There appears to be substantial evidence that Google put its thumb on the scales of the 2016 election to try to change the outcome.  Besides the tinkering with web site search results they also actively tried to influence Hispanic voters.  After the election when Google reacted to the election results and said things like trying to stop Trump, I saw hits to this blog drop by 50 percent as did other conservative blogs.  They also quit paying for ads placed on the blog.
