guugul has begun the shutdown of free expression
Common Sense Show ^ | 22 Feb 2017 | Mike Adams,

You’ve already heard about FAKE NEWS, the mainstream media’s repeated fabrication of false facts portrayed as real. Who can forget the Washington Post’s ridiculous fabrication of a “Russian conspiracy theory” that claimed Natural News and 200 other independent websites were secretly run by the Kremlin?

In just the last 10 days, in fact, five major fake news stories about Russia were pushed out by the corporate-run media in the United States, only to be completely discredited by real facts.

Now, Google, which aggregates fake news via its “Google News” service, has decided to up the ante and go all in for FAKE SEARCH.

The link you provided doesn’t seem relevant to cited text.
At least not the time stamp in the video the link jumped to.
What was the article saying about google search?

Google has been out to get any alternative medicine sites for a while.

It’s very common for people to want to shut down free expression when they think they have something to gain by it. As long as government isn’t the one doing the shutting down, people have the right to to what they please with what’s theirs.

I often google for IT related information. What I do not understand is why google sorts with the old IT articles at the top and the most recent articles are 3 or 4 pages into the scroll.

Maybe it is because the old articles having been around a while have a large number of hits and are thus considered more popular while the information that just came out 24 hours ago has not yet collected a big number of hits. And, of course, because google sorts the old to the top, and in the short synopsis google does not display the date so one has to open it to discover how old it is, for these reasons the old gets more hits.

In other words, google does a lot of stupid things.
But I have found Bing to be even worse in the few times I have gone to it. I don’t go there often because of my bad experience the few times I have gone there.

GOOGLE blacklists Natural News… removes 140,000 pages from its index… “memory holes” Natural News investigative articles on vaccines, pharma corruption, fraudulent science and more

I've verified this myself. Search for "natural news" on Bing, and naturalnews.com appears among the first listing. Do the same search on Google, and you see no hits at all for naturalnews.com.

This is very alarming. Who's next? Freerepublic? Breitbart?

I have a similar experience but this is what I do to get the more recent articles:

In Google, in the ribbon at the top, go to Tools. When you do so, a pull down menu named Any time appears. Change this to filter the search to more recent times, such as Past hour, 24 hours, Week, month, or even year. You can also put in a custom date range.

I heard this originally on the Common Sense Radio utoob broadcast and was going to link to the article on Natural News (which is the source of the date). FR’s proscription from linking to naturalnews.com caused me to revert to the Common Sense Radio cast.

I don’t share the assumption that guugul is a private organization (deep state).

Trying to avoid being wordy (which I am usually), my “Effort Includes” preface was intended to indicate more than just guugul involvement.
