Project Veritas: Google insider leaks hundreds of documents

Postby Aureumterra » Wed Aug 14, 2019 2:09 pm

https://youtu.be/g1VeElBAeas

Today, Project Veritas just dropped a bombshell video, where a Google insider who had chosen to keep his identity secret had come out saying that google was actively trying to influence the 2016 elections in this video from last month, which went largely ignored as the insider had no definitive proof. The same insider today revealed his identity, and the video describes what has happened since his last video. The insider today leaked 950 documents containing detailed information about google’s algorithms and its alleged intentions. All of the documents he leaked can be found on this link at the bottom of the website. In this video, the insider described Google as, “They were sculpting the informational landscape so that they could sculpt what was true.”

This is just the least disturbing part of the video, when James O’Keafe asked about events that happened between the last video and today, the insider said he went to his home in San Francisco, and in a few days, he got a letter from google saying “They knew what I had done.” The same letter demanded to know “Whether I retained the documents, asking me to list the people I’ve given the documents to, and requesting access to all of my personal data in order for them to start scrubbing all of it.” The original letter is shown in the video at this timestamp. The letter in its original text asked the insider to “cease and desist” (what’s up with big companies saying that recently?), and asked him to comply too their demands by July 26th. Later that day, a twitter troll named the leaker as “Mr. Leaker” on his account. The insider proceeded to inform Google that he had set up a system with his attorneys that if something were to happen to him, all the info would be leaked.

The next day, the police, yes you read that right, the godamn police showed up to his house… according to the leaker’s attorneys, Google decided to do a ‘wellness check’ in order to establish him as mentally ill so that their case is stronger. San Francisco police confirmed this.

So NSG, what do you feel about this extremely disturbing thing…?

I am speechless, I knew something was off about Google, but this is seriously more than possible. Just going through a few of these documents reveals so much disturbing information about how Google operates, and the fact that they say under oath that they are completely unbiased in front of Congress. I can’t stress this enough, and I encourage everyone regardless of your opinion to go watch the video while you can.

Aaaaaaand I stopped reading.

As a general rule of thumb, even if the information itself has a probability of being legit, don't rely on sources with a history of fraudulent behavior. The "stopped clock" rule can't erase a career of dishonesty.

Google is evil.

Wired did a story on them yesterday.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

So NSG, what do you feel about this extremely disturbing thing…?

I think you're desperately trying to craft a narrative and relying on a source that has existed solely to validate that exact sort of narrative, regardless of how hard they had to twist the facts to do it.

This doesn't mean that Google's hands are clean, however. They most likely aren't.

They've doctored videos and flat-out made shit up before, it wouldn't be too out of character. Assuming there actually are 900+ documents floating around.

Okay, this isn’t a thread on “before” though. Do you mind actually reading source linked in the OP and telling your thoughts on that rather than Project Veritas as a whole? I for one find this concerning regardless of who reports on it.

It's not just a matter of sourcing, it's a matter that the source is so aggressively bullshit that anything they report is immediately called into question.

Source...? I’m going to assume that you have sources behind this allegation? I’m not an expert on Project Veritas by any means, though I believe that this story in the OP is true
