Bill Whittle is one of the best representatives of conservative thought in our country, and he has a two part series on the stolen election, even as it is in the process of being fought.
Bill Whittle: The Stolen Election, Part One: AMERICAN PRAVDA (11 min)
There are approximately four and a half billion people who have access to the Internet. And you can bet that Google, except where it is blocked or disallowed, is used by nearly every one of them for information.
Google has shown that it is not trustworthy, and has fully engaged in the concepts of social engineering and social scoring through cataloguing all of your mouse clicks, where you go, what you read, and what you buy.
Bill Whittle takes the time at the end of the second video to discuss this, what it meant during this election, and what it means going forward.
This video, meant only for internal consumption at Google by top level executives is called
"The Selfish Ledger". (click here to skip directly to that part of the video)
And the video is indeed, as Bill Whittle points out...frightening.
I have been convinced for years that allowing Google to become the nearly universal source of information for mankind right now has been a horrible, horrible mistake. On this planet, nearly anyone who has a computer uses Google to find information...and that is about four and a half billion people. And Google has assumed the mantle, and wishes to treat this "ledger" on each of us as not only the Internet equivalent of our DNA, but wishes to manipulate people via this "ledger" to change their behavior.
I am not new to this concept, and I know to many, the video is nothing new as it has been out for a few years now, but to see it in the context of this election, where the information people sought was shaped and spoon fed to them by the Media, Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, and...Google.
I highly recommend if you watch nothing else, click on the link for the "Selfish Ledger" to see what Google has in mind, and think of what we saw in this last election.
I never use Google, Twitter, Facebook, Insta this snap that etc.
I have to use Google at work, they forced us onto Gmail and their suite of web apps, I despise those apps.
Google and YouTube are now forcing me to use Rumble, because I use a VPN and Google and YouTube and throwing obstacles in my way, forcing me to use Captcha or simply not allowing me in unless I allow cookies or sign up for an account.
So I am using DuckDuckGo and Rumble more.
Like you, I do not use FaceBook or Twitter. Or any other program like that. It is FR only for me.

Funny
Let me try that see if it works.
Steve Van Doorn is one of the best representatives of conservative thought in our country

I like the ring to that. ^^ Rolls Eyes ^^
excellent. thanks for posting.
only reservation.
he brings up Hunter Biden’s laptop and censorship of NY Post and people trying to send links to the Post’s articles, etc.
he mentions how the Bidens never denied the laptop and its contents were authentic.
however, he could have added that two of Hunter Biden’s partners - the imprisoned Bevan Cooney via Peter Schweizer and Tony Bobulinski via Tuckers Carlson - corroborated, and expanded on, the information published from the laptop.
and he could have mentioned, at the same time, that almost all FakeNewsMSM ignored Cooney and Bobulinski’s revelations, just as they had virtually ignored the explosive information found on the laptop.

Thanks for posting this.
But how are millions of strangers supposed to know what you had for lunch?
I’m a big Bill Whittle fan, glad you posted this!
It’s funny how searching has changed, even in a few years. Going back further- it used to be when looking for info all kinds of interesting and offbeat results would show up, it was fun to spend an hour learning things you didn’t know. Now? It’s sterile, predictable and uninformative. It seems limited.
I agree...however I suspect his goal is to not have a 45 minute video, so I think he limits the length, which limits the content too.
I have always enjoyed the Dennis Prager site at www.prageru.com, where he has a lot of videos that are five minutes or less to discuss the ins and outs of a specific issue. Those are a good introduction for issues you may know little about.

I am curious-did you watch the linked videos and are you familiar with Bill Whittle’s work? If so, what did you think of it?
LOL, I WISH I were indeed Bill Whittle, promoting myself here on FR under a pseudonym or something like that. I admire him greatly
It was only my opinion (and as the saying goes, everyone has one) and I admit that perhaps I should have inserted that conditional statement in there. On the other hand, I do believe I am as well versed on the various purveyors of conservative political thought as it is possible to be for an average citizen, of which I regard myself as one.
I don’t make that statement lightly, since I take the role of an informed citizen very seriously, and have put in the work to be able to be satisfied I am fulfilling my self imposed role. I used to read extensively and have a significant (for me) hardcover library, but due to my eyes, have been unable to read much in the last 5-10 years.
Due to my daily commute which I have done for 35+ years which is between 45 min to 1.5 hours each way I have used that formerly wasted time to listen to audiobooks on tape, CD and and in the last 15 years or so, in MP3 format. I often listen when I am in the shower, when I am washing the dishes after dinner, or working on projects. (I cannot listen while reading content or posting on FR...it doesn’t work, I don’t absorb it)
And so, on the basis of having in depth exposure to a wide array of conservative thought, and after having watched or read the entire spectrum of them for some decades ranging from William F. Buckley (when he was alive), Thomas Sowell, and today, Victor Davis Hanson and Jordan Peterson, I think Bill Whittle fits right in with them (for me, at least)
The thing is, Bill Whittle is not an academic, as those people listed above are, he is a political pundit much like Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino, and others. I regard him in a slightly different class due to the way he presents his material, and the format in which he does it.
He is obviously not on the level of Victor Davis Hanson (in my opinion) but material by VDH is harder to find, is more often in a lecture setting, etc. Bill Whittle is approachable and available, which counts for something. The other main difference is, his dialogue is less theoretical and more common-sense/opnion based and practical, coming from a “normal” person to “normal” people.

I thought some on this thread might appreciate these short videos by Bill Whittle (one of the foremost and most eloquent spokesmen for conservatism today in my opinion...:) in his We The People 2.0 Webpage (all videos):
These short videos (just 3-6 min. long each) are some of the most brilliant, pithy, and informative summaries on how we as conservatives view these things, and contrasts them with the views of the Left.
Funny, I was so impressed with these (I got a DVD for joining at his website BillWhittle.com that I was going to spend money and buy a dozen of them to give to people as gifts, until I found out he thought these arguments and ideas were so important that he had decided to make them available to everyone for free on YouTube...and I agree with him)
Heh, every time I SAY I don’t use FaceBook, etc...I feel like Bill Belichick who deliberately plays the part of curmudgeon (oh, wait, he IS a curmudgeon) and I laughed by butt off when I heard him mumble in one of these post game interviews that he doesn’t know anything about “MyFace, YourFace...”
