It gave me an eerie feeling to see my efforts and writings being disappeared in this way from one day to another by Google.
A couple of days ago I received an email from a reader who had some nice things to say about my book[i] The West in Crisis: Civilizations and Their Death Drives. As authors know, it always feels good to receive appreciation for one’s efforts, especially for a work into which one has poured one’s soul and invested a great deal of thought and effort.
In the closing sentences of his email, however, the reader mentioned something that startled me. He said he sought to get my views on latest events but could not find any of my recent writings on the internet when he made his google search. I was very surprised to learn this, since I have published a great deal in the last twelve months on highly visible and widely frequented websites such as LewRockwell.com, American Thinker and LifeSiteNews.
My first thought was that the reader must have mistyped my name when he submitted his google query. So, I tried to do it myself and to my astonishment the query returned none of my writings from last year apart from a single piece on lewrockwell.com. This was a tiny fraction of my output that encompasses some sixty articles and essays of nearly one hundred thousand words.
SNIP
Suspecting what may be behind this, I tried to do some searches for fellow writers who have been prolific contributors to the outlets which have run my articles and who have enjoyed a wide readership as a result of their excellent work. These websites included American Thinker, LewRockwell.com and LifeSiteNews. My Google queries which contained the names of these writers returned virtually no material

Searching my own site on Facebook using Duck Duck Go, there was nothing.

Using different search engines validates the author’s concerns.
I use Duckduckgo. American Thinker is there.
This is the future.
Google is evil, conform or be disappeared
Occasionally I will read something very conservative or maybe controversial. About 2 weeks ago I read an active duty General reported there was no white supremacy movement in the military. I can’t find the article now. Happens all the time.
Google is no longer a search engine but rather a propaganda engine; it doesn’t show you what you are looking for but rather what it wants you to see.
My Google search of him brought up a lot of info - including the link to all the articles at American Thinker.
I just finished reading your excellent book The West in Crisis: Civilizations and Their Death Drives. While the complete dishonesty and falsehood of claims about so-called institutional racism in the USA, as well as other leftist lies,
results in no results showing the sentence but the American Thinker article is listed in the bottom half of 50 results. Searching the sentence in quotes results in the the American Thinker article alone being the result.
Searching Bing for the sentence without quotes results in the American Thinker article is listed as the top result. Searching the sentence in quotes results in the the American Thinker article alone being the result.
Searching Google for Vasko Kohlmayer (without quotes) results in many pages, as does searching Bing, but there are noticeable differences.
I quit using google long ago and switched to duckducko for this reason. I found out while hillary was scheming to steal the white house that google was seriously fudging their search results.
It’s not hard to see for yourself. Try google first. Type inthis searchinfo
hillary clinton cri
you’re looking for info on the hillary clinton criminal investigation that was then in progress by the fbi. once you type in part of the word “criminal”, you shoould start to see results that fit that scenario. But you do not.
Now try it on duckduckgo or bing. Results are totally different, links to sites with articles about the criminal investigation are usually in the top 15 or so results.
I reversed this procedure and used Donald Trump’s name instead, same results in reverse. Google turned up anything that even remotely resembled any accusation of criminal activity by Donald Trump in the top results. Duckduckgo almost nothing.
They not only hide references to anything that makes liberals look bad, they pull links completely out of their search results for any conservative writer or website.
I haven’t used google since the day I found out they were doing it, but I have seen plenty references to them doing this more and more. Since they bought youtube, they have been wiping conservative views off youtube, same way facebook and twitter are censoring conservatives.
We need to all start avoiding all of them, we can use bitchute for video, gab for social media, duckduckgo for a search engine. I’ve heard bing is pretty good but I’ve never used it, I always thought it was owned by microsoft but I could be wrong.
Boycott
Googlevil
Farcebook
Twatter
It's time to classify Twitter,Facebook,Google,etc as public utilities (as AT&T was years ago) and split them up and forbid them to engage in arbitrary decisions like banning a President of the United States.
Bing was indeed created by Microsoft. My own experience with it is that it is sometimes just plain dumb, but it isn’t slanted and evil like Google has become.
DuckDuckGo is a dumb name.
They need to change it to be more popular.

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the panel’s top Republican, told the hearing at the outset that “it is important to point out that we lack any concrete evidence that violent extremism is as rife in the military as some commentators claim.”
Rogers said “extremism was a factor” in the separation of only nine soldiers from the U.S. Army in 2020, and he noted that “since 2018, 17 Marines have been separated for extremism, gang or separatist activities.
“That’s 17 out of 200,000. While I agree that this number ought to be zero, this is far from the largest military justice issue facing our armed services,” Rogers said.
He also told the committee that “earlier this year, 151 overwhelmingly liberal organizations, including Human Rights Watch, the ACLU, and SPLC Action [Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund], urged Congress not to expand domestic terrorism charges.”
“The organizations said, ‘We urge you to oppose any new domestic terrorism charge, the creation of a list of designated domestic terrorist organizations, or other expansion of existing terrorism-related authorities,’” Rogers said.
Besides Berry, the committee heard from only two other witnesses, Dr. Audrey Kurth Cronin, an American University Professor of International Security, and Lecia Brooks, Chief of Staff for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a liberal advocacy group that has often been criticized by conservatives for defining “extremism” so broadly as to include conventional political groups that clearly are not.
The newest Republican member of the committee, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) pointed out that “recently the Washington Post, the New York Times, Politico, NPR, and the New Yorker magazine, just to name a few, skewered the SPLC for, among other things, corruption, harassment, racism and a widening credibility gap.”
Fallon also noted that Cronin claimed 37 of those arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol were either U.S. military veterans or reservists.
“There are 18 million U.S. military veterans. Thirty-four were rioters. This means that 17,999,966 of us were not. That’s one out of 529,000,” Fallon said.
