Google AI Helping Israel to Identify Palestinians for Arrest "With Little or No Evidence"

Google’s unofficial motto, “don’t be evil,” was removed from Google documents sometime in late April or early May, 2018. Consistent with the change, a group of Google employees recently claimed that the company is providing Israel with AI-based information “to identify thousands of Palestinians for arrest, imprisonment, and torture with little to no evidence.” This, the group claims, amounts to enabling an Israeli policy of Palestinian genocide.

Further this group of Google employees has stated:

It’s clear that the Israeli military will use any technology available to them for genocidal means." At issue: Google's Project Nimbus -- a $1.2 billion cloud and AI contract with Israel -- and the Israeli Defense Forces' use of Google Photos in Gaza, "which has led to the arrest, imprisonment, and torture of thousands of Palestinians with little to no evidence," the group said. "It’s clear that the Israeli military will use any technology available to them for genocidal means."

Google is enabling and profiting from Israel’s AI-powered genocide through Project Nimbus, their $1B cloud contract with Israel. The Israeli military is also using Google Photos as part of a facial recognition dragnet across Gaza, which has led to the arrest, imprisonment, and torture of thousands of Palestinians with little to no evidence. It’s clear that the Israeli military will use any technology available to them for genocidal means.

Google workers do not want their labor to power Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. **That’s why on April 16, Google workers with No Tech For Apartheid are leading a coast-to-coast day of action to demand that Google stop doing business with Israel and providing tech to this genocide.

And Google's response? To fire 28 of the protesting employees.

BRAVO! -- to the fired employees.

What's the Use of a Search Engine That Cannot Find What's Published On Its Own Platform: Google Versus Bing

We did a search for our latest post using the following search string:

Canspeccy: How will the Ukraine War End?

Bing came up with this, which is what you'd expect, though they were remarkably quick to index the post.

Here's Google's shot at it. Even if we put the post title in quotes, Google can't find it even though it exists on Google's own servers or in their own cloud. 

Is that pathetic or what? 

Yeah, pathetic absolutely, although when you search Google for the title of this piece they do give you a link to  21 other search engines most, perhaps all, of which do better that Google, or should that be "Gurgle" as in going down the credibility tube. 

And yet some guy at Google says their system has achieved consciousness. LOL: The consciousness of the oblivious. 

Or should we say that Google is the sanitized search engine: What you don't know cannot cause you to challenge the official narrative. In this case the message telegraphed by NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg as his message rotates 180 degrees a minute.

Which brings to mind, once again, the story about the Russian who is on an airliner heading to the US, and the American in the seat next to him asks, “So what brings you to the US?” The Russian replies, “I’m studying the American approach to propaganda.” The American says, “What propaganda?” The Russian says, “That’s what I mean.”

But today, Google is again the search engine that can't find its own arse with both hands. Search for: 

Who Really Killed Kennedy: Joe Rogan gives Steven Pinker's Expert on "weird beliefs" a hard time on the Kennedy Assassination

and you get this:

It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search

Try using words that might appear on the page that you’re looking for. For example, 'cake recipes' instead of 'how to make a cake'.

Need help? Take a look at other tips for searching on Google.

Pretty amazing, since that item is our current post on Google's own blogger platform.

Bing, in contrast managed to find our current post and list it first out of, allegedly five billion, three hundred and twenty million results. Wow, can there really be that many Web pages devoted to the Kennedy assassination?

Some time ago we pointed out to Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, in a polite letter that Google was either failing to retrieve our blog posts, or deliberately hiding them. We received no reply. Google is evidently run by a philistine, or maybe a CIA agent, or both.  

How Useless Is Google Search? This Useless

 A while ago, I published a blog post here on Google's blogger relating to the demographic consequences of Covid19. A Google search for Canspeccy +demographic yielded this result (well it did. Which is to say it yielded a bunch of useless and irrelevant rubbish). However, during the 24 hours  after I created the present post, Google's response changed to a link to Canspeccy but nothing about demographics. However, checking some weeks later (December 31, 2020), I see that Google provides a Page 1 link to the post that you are reading now, but not to the one I was looking for which was entitled: COVID-19, an Agent of Demographic Change: How the New Corona Virus Will Change the World. This further change might suggest that Google doesn't like the suggestion that it is running an information racket, although it still won't point to what someone searching Canspeccy blogposts might actually want. 

Is that useless, or what? 

Meantime, a DuckDuckGo search for Canspeccy +demographic yields this result, which includes a link to this blog post, plus the blogpost, noted above, that I was looking for. Originally the link to the post I wanted appeared on the second page of a long list of Canspeccy blogposts concerned with demographics. 

So is Google search total crap, or are we censored? 

Presumably the latter, well both actually, which would explain why our daily hit rate has fallen from peak numbers of over ten thousand to not much more than 100 a day now. 

Do we care? 

No we don't care that almost no one reads our stuff, inasmuch as even if ten thousand a day read it, it would not change the world in any noticeable way.

Yes, we do care that we are ruled by arrogant, corrupt, billionaire techie sons-of-bitches intent on imposing a techie-ruled tyranny upon the world. 

As for why we write despite being firmly muzzled? We do it to know our own mind.

Covid Conspiracies

Covid 19 may be among the latest in a long line of viruses that have jumped the species barrier from animal to man, in this case from a bat, either directly, or via an intermediate host. There are grounds, however, to suggest that the transition was by way of a virology lab engaged in so-called gain-of-function research, which is to say research aimed at increasing the infectivity or virulence or both of the virus.

If it is the case that Covid19 crossed the species barrier by way of a virology lab, a question that arises is whether the virus was loosed on the world accidentally, as is perfectly possible, or deliberately.

On the assumption that it was released deliberately, a multitude of possibilities arise as to motive. Covid19 is highly infectious, and it kills, yet it lacks the killing power to significantly depopulate either a targeted state or the entire world. What it does effectively, however, when combined with media and political hype, is scare people. Logically, therefore, if the virus was intentionally released from the laboratory, scaring people must have been the reason for its release.

But if the virus was released to scare people, to what end was this done? Several answers have been discussed, including various political and economic theories: for example, to impoverish the workers, by compelling acceptance of an economic shutdown and the resultant sky high unemployment, thereby driving incomes down, while justifying the funneling of trillions of dollars to banksters, speculators and corporate fat cats.

Via Zero  Hedge:
EU Car Sales Crash 57% In May

Another idea is that the Covid Recession is aimed at permanently reducing consumption, in particular energy consumption, thereby moderating human-caused climate change.

Another theory is that the largely innocuous Covid19 was released to better prepare the world to deal with far deadlier viral pathogens to come, the latter arising either spontaneously or lab-created and deployed as warfare agents. To that end, much is being made of the importance of so-called "track and trace" operations to identify and contain outbreaks. Currently, such work depends chiefly on interviews with infected individuals about their past contacts. The future of such operations, however, will be entirely automated and proactive. Tracking software is already available from Apple and Google, and the Government of Canada is offering its own product.

Currently, the use tracking software is voluntary, but one would be naive to assume that it will remain voluntary when there is a virus on the loose with the ability to kill a substantial proportion of those infected. Current voluntary use of the tracking apps will allow their further development. Combined with software capable of handling gigantic quantities of data, the apps will make possible 24/7 monitoring of a person's location and hence their contacts with other persons being tracked. The software will then be able to issue notifications, warnings, and instructions, (e.g., to go into isolation) as the result of contact with those found to be infected. The system would also, presumably, issue notices of penalties for breach of lock-down or quarantine.

In a new and even more frightening epidemic, the use of tracking apps will seem desirable and even necessary to most people. Their use will then be made mandatory. Those without a cell phone will be required to have an implanted tracking chip. Meantime, there will be increased reliance on online payment systems, thus allowing general application of the Chinese method of social control by denial of banking services -- i.e., the means to engage in any financial transaction including the purchase of food, to be imposed for any legal infraction including breaches of lock-down or quarantine.

In due course, the system will be broadened. Contact with, say, known drug dealers, or handlers of stolen goods, or advocates or, depending on which way the political wind is blowing, opponents of Black Lives Matter, will be noted and appropriate police action taken.

Covid19 thus looks like a Trojan horse. Not too dangerous. Something we can experiment with. Until, the real significance of the thing becomes apparent and Western man's brief age of freedom is over.

Google's War on Trump: The Treason of a Globalist Corporation

Corporate interests have long taken care to ensure that the people of the democratic Western nations express their democratic will as the corporate interests require. Hence the corporate control of the media — initially, the most influential, big-city newspapers, then radio, then TV, and in recent years, most of the book publishing industry, and now the Internet.

What's new with the corporate control of the internet is that companies such as Google and Facebook can read your mail, watch your web clicks and links and apply artificial intelligence to tailor what you see of the world in ways that best regulate your thinking and moral judgement, and hence your voting, buying, and breeding behavior to best serve the New World Order, aka, the globalist Money Power.

Uhuh! Didn't take Google long to take down the Project Veritas video revealing Google's approach to election interference. But it's still up on the Project Veritas Web site here. If CanSpeccy goes blank you will likely be able to guess why. As it is, the  number of hits we have had from Google.com today is well down on the usual number by around half. Coincidence?



Meantime, as Zero Hedge reports, Google's "transparency and ethics" group are:

calling prominent Jewish conservatives Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager "Nazis," along with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, who is not Jewish.

But as as Justin Trudeau could truthfully say, that's what we liberals always do, we call our opponents racists, white supremacists and Nazis.

Government Slaves, June 25, 2019: A new document leaked Tuesday appears to show a Google engineer suggesting in an internal email that classifying prominent conservatives as “Nazis” could help the company wipe out far-right content. “Today it is often 1 or 2 steps to Nazis, if we understand that Prager U, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro et al are Nazis using the dog whistles you mention in step 1,” Liam Hopkins, a machine learning recruiter at Google, said in the email, which was obtained by Project Veritas (PV).

Here in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't bother with intervening steps. He just outright calls the leader of the opposition, Andrew Scheer, a Nazi, which is to be expected now that hate speech is among the chief weapons in the liberal armory.

Why Western "Democracy" Needs a Law Against Reality

Uh huh! Google's U-Tube Memory-holed that before we managed to post it. But no prob. Here it is at the Gruniard. Give 'em a click.

Kunstler demolishes Robert Mueller:

For the Progressive Democratic “Resistance” (PDR), post-Modernism is in full flower. They have ruled objective reality inadmissible. There are only stories — his story, her story, they’s story, zhe’s story, and you must believe them because they come out of lived experience — for instance the lived experience of having lost a sure-thing presidential election to a cartoon character with zero political experience, and then having lost the grand inquisition to oust him. For the PDRs, the metaphysical concept of reality refers to some land of dark make-believe over a distant horizon where numbers supposedly add up (ha!) and the actions of persons are said to entail a strange cosmic condition known as consequence. Now that the Mueller Investigation has concluded empty of charges — despite two-plus-years of sedulous effort by fiercely dedicated antagonists of its target — everything about it, including the sacred Mueller Report, begins to emit odious vapors like unto a rump roast that has laid uncovered in a pantry for three weeks, attracting the attention of flies. The PDRs might think twice about a closer examination of all that festering material. What they’re liable to find is evidence of how slovenly and dishonest it was and how the revered legal maestro in charge of composing it may well be subject to charges himself of obstructing justice and malicious prosecution. Information emerged over the weeks since the Mueller Report’s release that Mr. Mueller and his team knew unequivocally that the Special Counsel’s mission and the FBI operations that preceded it were based on concocted political bullshit supplied by Mrs. Clinton and her network of flunkies and fixers, ranging throughout the permanent DC bureacuracy (a.k.a. the Swamp), to outposts in foreign intel services and the political kitty-litter box known as Ukraine. Mr. Mueller must have suspected this from the outset, but knew for sure by the summer of 2017, and omitted to advise the American public that he had uncovered a fraud. Rather, he rode on the back of that fraud for two years, as if touring a political landfill on a donkey, leaving the public to stew in anxious hallucinations. Read more

Such flagrant disrespect for the Zucks/Soros/Google Globalist Elite, can surely not be long tolerated.

A Message to You From the United Church of Globalist Corporations

Having killed Christianity, the globalist elite have apparently determined that the role of the church is to become a corporate function. Hence Gillette, a company hitherto known chiefly for making razor blades and sundry related products, has launched an ad campaign against "toxic masculinity."

Now toxic masculinity, whatever that may be, like toxic feminism, or toxic anything else, is by definition toxic. But do you really want moral instruction from your supplier of razor blades? Or how about condemnation of white privilege on your breakfast cereal package, or advocacy of abortion with your laundry detergent?

Well whatever you want, that is what you are going to get, courtesy of the globalist corporate elite. True, the media have long doled moral direction, but at least they offered it, along with ads for razor blades, breakfast cereal and laundry detergent, with a degree of circumspection: a liberal commentator countered by a more conservative view, the globalist plug, offset by a more patriotic if not actually nationalistic comment.

But now it seems the media are too weak to provide the moral redirection the globalist elite require. Hence, Google will join FaceBook and others in cramming their interests, morals, whatever you want to call self-serving corporate propaganda, down your throat by giving the media an injection of cash for what will surely be globalist trash:

Report for America, an initiative of the GroundTruthProject, Google, and others, plans to place 1,000 journalists in local newsrooms over the next five years. Writing in CJR, the project’s co-founders argue that America needs “a dramatically new approach at the local level—grounded less in the traditional commercial model and more on a reawakened spirit of public service among reporters.” Steven Waldman and Charles M. Sennott say that they want to model their initiative on organizations like the Peace Corps and Teach for America, providing opportunities and support to emerging journalists while also helping newsrooms around the country do civically important reporting.

Meantime, Google will go on fiddling their search results and YouTube contents to shape your view of the World as the globalist elite desire:

...an internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News reveals Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform – including a recent intervention that pushed pro-life videos out of the top ten search results for “abortion.”

Clearly corporations that can devote hundreds of millions to revising your opinions and moral convictions are too big for democracy and should be broken up. Hence, one reason for the drive to oust Trump: he could be crazy enough to act against the corporate monopolists who seek not only to rig the market against you, but to control your mind.

Stupidity in Technology: Google's Fact Checker Widget

The most fundamental issue in philosophy is, was, and always will be, how do we know what we know about the world, assuming that we know anything about the world at all. The question is sometimes referred to as "the Problem of Knowledge," and the study of that question is known to philosophers as epistemology.

To most people, the question is hard to understand. Obviously we know a lot about the world: what we were taught in school, what we've read in books or newspapers, what we've seen on TV or on the Internet.

Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME): Will Google Win the Presidency for Hillary?

A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government.

Kenneth Boulding

I read a good deal. Occasionally I provide a link to what I think is really interesting or important — confirmation by a billion-dollar experiment of Einstein's prediction about gravity waves, for example, or how to access publicly funded scientific research findings without paying ridiculous fees to commercial publishers. But here is a link to something orders of magnitude more significant.

The article, by Robert Epstein, provides an overview of a peer-reviewed study that represents perhaps the most important discovery in social science since the term "social science" was invented. What it tells you is how the Borg empire will be established here on earth without even the necessity of fitting everyone up with one of those snorkel thingies. What it reveals is how Google and other big data owners and manipulators can most likely determine what you think and, hence, how you behave. The result? The perfect democracy: a society in which the elite unfailingly persuade a psychologically enslaved mass to vote for the elite and to support whatever it is that the elite want to do to the psychologically enslaved mass (Think US public support for George Bush's Patriot Act and Homeland Security with six hollow point bullets for every citizen, and FEMA detention camps), or think Farenheit 451.

There is, of course, nothing tremendously new about this. For more than a century, the mass media, owned by the very rich, have been telling people what to think and how to behave, the people for the most part submitting without complaint to such control. But at least there was the appearance of choice. You could read the NY Times, the yellow press, or even some small circulation Communist paper. Likewise, the broadcast media seemed to provide some choice, CNN versus National Public Radio, for example. But in the search engine business, power is much more heavily concentrated. Moreover, the evidence of bias, if bias there be, is not, as this research shows, readily evident, or indeed evident at all. And it is precisely the lack of visibility that makes such bias deadly to a free society.

But does Google really skew search results to sway the opinion of voters to favor certain electoral candidates or to persuade consumers to purchase certain products? Well, as Robert Epstein points out, here's a clue: if they don't, then they are probably in breach of their legal responsibility to maximize shareholder value.
