An anonymous source leaked an about hour video of a
Google-wide meeting to Breitbart pertaining to Donald Trump’s 2016 election as
President of the United States. Google leadership tells their rank-n-file of
Google disappointment and try to assuage rampant discouragement that election
may cause.
You can watch Google's political bias at Breitbart. I wish I
could embed the Breitbart copy of the video but I couldn’t figure out a
Breitbart embed-share code.
I figured Google would delete any video upload that would
expose the company’s Leftist adoration on Google-owned Youtube. I decided to
look anyway.
Remarkably I FOUND SUCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO. A Youtube channel called
merely “Curtis”
has taken the first leap at sharing Google bias. Of course you can now always view
Google bias at Breitbart, but viewing on any Youtube Channel
might disappear.
Unfortunately Youtube is the easiest video platform to embed
on a blog. In that vein here is the Youtube embed for my blog while it lasts:

In this leaked video from 2016, we
can see Google leadership's dismay over the results of the US election, and
hear their discussing their conspiracy to provide "in kind" political
efforts to one party to attempt to sway the outcome
SO, it is no surprise of the massive efforts by Google and
Youtube to censor all things Conservative and Pro-Trump. The ideology of the
Google power-lords is not only a destructive Leftism, but there is an apparent
ideological inbred hatred that reaches beyond the scope of Free Speech
disagreement with those who believe in a Great America based on the Original
Intent on our Founders Documents.
So what should Conservatives do? Should we boycott Google
and their powerful like-minded media platforms?
It might surprise you to know that I don’t think so. As long
as these Leftist dingle-berries like for us to read, listen, and watch their
paid advertisers products, the poor hapless souls against Capitalism are too
addicted to the benefits of Capitalism – wealth and power – they will desire we
Conservative and Patriot users of their products to continue using their media
platforms.
Indeed, the Leftist Media moguls have a great fear. That one
day an individual or individuals will innovate a media platform with an ease of
usage dedicated to the Conservative point of view. Just as some News innovators
realized there is a huge block of people who would embrace Conservative TV,
Conservative Radio and Conservative Print; there will arise innovators who will
invent media platforms with the same ease of use and stability of the greedy
Leftist media platforms. On that day, when markets begin to advertise with
Conservative platforms as much if not more, the Leftist greedy souls will feel a
stab in their monied hearts as Conservative consumers begin to leave behind the Leftist propaganda/censorship
media platforms in droves.
ALREADY, there are operating attempts at media platforms
aimed at attracting Conservatives. Those platforms still have to work out bugs
to make comparable in stability and usage of the Leftist platforms, but you
have to notice the alternative platforms are getting better and better. I look
forward to the day when hypocritical Leftists who have used their platforms to
manage the flow of ideas for decades all of a sudden lose the same money they
used to manipulate the flow of digital media.
In case anyone wants my opinion, the MeWe platform is so far the
closest to dethroning the Leftists such as Google, Twitter and Facebook.
Perhaps one day Conservatives find something other than PayPal donation buttons
on their websites and blogs that have no problem with Conservative ideology.

LEAKED VIDEO: Google Leadership’s
Dismayed Reaction to Trump Election
[At Breitbart the leaked video is place HERE.]
12 Sep 2018
A video recorded by Google shortly after the 2016
presidential election reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the
tech giant’s leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump
agenda and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.
The video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands
meeting following the 2016 election (these weekly meetings are known inside the
company as “TGIF” or “Thank God It’s Friday” meetings). Sent to Breitbart News
by an anonymous source, it features co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, VPs
Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat, and CEO Sundar Pichai. It can
be watched in full above. It can and should be watched in full above in order
to get the full context of the meeting and the statements made.
It was reported earlier
this week that Google tried to boost turnout among the Latino population to
help Hillary Clinton, only to be dismayed as the usually solid Democratic
voting bloc switched to the GOP in record numbers. This video shows a similar
level of dismay among Google’s most high-profile figures.
These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled
influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations
of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the
Trump agenda.
Co-founder Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump
supporters to fascists and extremists. Brin argues that like other extremists,
Trump voters were motivated by “boredom,” which he says in the past led to
fascism and communism.
The Google co-founder then asks his company to consider what
it can do to ensure a “better quality of governance and decision-making.”
VP for Global Affairs Kent Walker argues that supporters of
populist causes like the Trump campaign are motivated by “fear, xenophobia,
hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”
Later, Walker says that Google should fight to ensure the
populist movement – not just in the U.S. but around the world – is merely a
“blip” and a “hiccup” in a historical arc that “bends toward progress.”
CEO Sundar Pichai states that the company will develop
machine learning and A.I. to combat what an employee described as
“misinformation” shared by “low-information voters.”
Key moments from the video can be found at the following
timestamps:
·
(00:00:00 – 00:01:12) Google
co-founder Sergey Brin states that the weekly meeting is “probably not the most
joyous we’ve had” and that “most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad.”
·
(00:00:24) Brin
contrasts the disappointment of Trump’s election with his excitement at the
legalization of cannabis in California, triggering laughs and applause from the
audience of Google employees.
·
(00:01:12) Returning
to seriousness, Brin says he is “deeply offen[ded]” by the election of Trump, and
that the election “conflicts with many of [Google’s] values.”
·
(00:09:10) Trying to
explain the motivations of Trump supporters, Senior VP for Global Affairs, Kent
Walker concludes: “fear, not just in the United States, but around the world is
fueling concerns, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may
not be there.”
·
(00:09:35) Walker
goes on to describe the Trump phenomenon as a sign of “tribalism that’s
self-destructive [in] the long-term.”
·
(00:09:55) Striking
an optimistic tone, Walker assures Google employees that despite the election,
“history is on our side” and that the “moral arc of history bends towards
progress.”
·
(00:10:45) Walker
approvingly quotes former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s comparison
between “the world of the wall” with its “isolation and defensiveness” and the
“world of the square, the piazza, the marketplace, where people come together
into a community and enrich each other’s lives.”
·
(00:13:10) CFO Ruth
Porat appears to break down in tears when discussing the election result.
·
(00:15:20) Porat
promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources and reach we
have to continue to advance really important values.”
·
(00:16:50) Stating
“we all need a hug,” she then instructs the audience of Google employees to hug
the person closest to them.
·
(00:20:24) Eileen Naughton,
VP of People Operations, promises that Google’s policy team in DC is “all over”
the immigration issue and that the company will “keep a close watch on it.”
·
(00:21:26) Naughton
jokes about Google employees asking, ‘Can I move to Canada?’ after the
election. She goes on to seriously discuss the options available to Google
employees who wish to leave the country.
·
(00:23:12) Naughton
does acknowledge “diversity of opinion and political persuasion” and notes that
she has heard from conservative Google employees who say they “haven’t felt
entirely comfortable revealing who [they] are.” and urged “tolerance.” (Several
months later, the company would fire James Damore allegedly for disagreeing with
progressive narratives.)
·
(00:27:00)
Responding to a question about “filter bubbles,” Sundar Pichai promises to work
towards “correcting” Google’s role in them
·
(00:27:30) Sergey Brin
praises an audience member’s suggestion of increasing matched Google employee
donations to progressive groups.
·
(00:34:40) Brin
compares Trump voters to “extremists,” arguing for a correlation between the
economic background of Trump supporters and the kinds of voters who back
extremist movements. Brin says that “voting is not a rational act” and that not
all of Trump’s support can be attributed to “income disparity.” He suggests
that Trump voters might have been motivated by boredom rather than legitimate
concerns.
·
(00:49:10) An
employee asks if Google is willing to “invest in grassroots, hyper-local
efforts to bring tools and services and understanding of Google products and
knowledge” so that people can “make informed decisions that are best for
themselves.” Pichai’s response: Google will ensure its “educational products”
reach “segments of the population [they] are not [currently] fully reaching.”
·
(00:54:33) An
employee asks what Google is going to do about “misinformation” and “fake news”
shared by “low-information voters.” Pichai responds by stating that
“investments in machine learning and AI” are a “big opportunity” to fix the
problem.
·
(00:56:12)
Responding to an audience member, Walker says Google must ensure the rise of
populism doesn’t turn into “a world war or something catastrophic … and instead
is a blip, a hiccup.”
·
(00:58:22) Brin
compares Trump voters to supporters of fascism and communism, linking the
former movement to “boredom,” which Brin previously linked to Trump voters. “It
sort of sneaks up sometimes, really bad things” says Brin.
·
(01:01:15) A Google
employee states: “speaking to white men, there’s an opportunity for you right
now to understand your privilege” and urges employees to “go through the
bias-busting training, read about privilege, read about the real history of
oppression in our country.” He urges employees to “discuss the issues you are
passionate about during Thanksgiving dinner and don’t back down and laugh it
off when you hear the voice of oppression speak through metaphors.” Every
executive on stage – the CEO, CFO, two VPs and the two Co-founders – applaud
the employee.
·
(01:01:57) An
audience member asks if the executives see “anything positive from this
election result.” The audience of Google employees, and the executives on
stage, burst into laughter. “Boy, that’s a really tough one right now” says
Brin.
Update — After Breitbart News published this
article, a Google spokesperson replied to a request for comment with the
following statement:
“At a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, some Google employees and executives expressed their own personal views in the aftermath of a long and divisive election season. For over 20 years, everyone at Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these meetings. Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products. To the contrary, our products are built for everyone, and we design them with extraordinary care to be a trustworthy source of information for everyone, without regard to political viewpoint.”
