Beware of “Internet Studies”

Big Tech, corrupt academia, OII,

The corrupt academy developed a whole cottage industry devoted to conspiracy theories about Russian influence on elections in the U.S. and worldwide.

For example, the Oxford Internet Institute describes itself as, “A multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet,” in other words, a leftist mouthpiece devoted to internet-related misinformation and Russophobia. This outfit is a go-to for the fake news media when it needs academic support for its political campaigns. For example, the Wired interviewed an OII psychologist Przybylski in article intended to downplay concerns about the negative influence of some tech on human health and to smack down  Dr. Jean Twenge, one of the top researchers in this field.

Censorship by GOOG,FB, TWTR is Alive and Well

anti-social media, Big Tech, first hand evidence, google, L2

GFT censors not only conservatives, but other dissidents from the EU left and anti-Trump narratives, as well as their own adversaries.

Twitter subjected to Quality Filter Discrimination (QFD shadowban) not only expected targets, such as @cernovich, but also Trump Republicans, a walking away liberal Brandon Straka (@usminority), and even Adam Carter (@with_integrity). Adam Carter is one of the leading researchers who refuted Hillary’s conspiracy theory that Russia had been behind the leaks of the 2016 election campaign. This conspiracy theory has been built on false claims by CrowdStrike, in which Google is a major investor. The QFD shadowbans were observed on Twitter from July 23 to 24.

CrowdStrike: Crooked, Shrill, Unashamed

#CrowdStrike, cybersecurity, DNC leaks, first hand evidence, L1, , ,

The [attribution] threshold is not proved beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, but been good enough for CNN.

Dmitri Alperovitch at Brookings, April 2012

Since the misattribution of a suspected breach into the DNC network in early 2016 to Russia, CrowdStrike has been boosted by:

  • DNC loyalists in the FBI, CIA, DHS, and DNI
  • the fawning coverage by mainstream media
  • NBC News employing Shawn Henry, a CrowdStrike top officer and former executive assistant to FBI Director Robert Mueller, as a cyber security consultant
  • $300M investments by Google and Silicon Valley VCs

Notes 2018 Q3

anti-social media, climate alarmism, dems,

The terminal phase of the Trump Derangement Syndrom – billionaire Demonrat and climate alarmist Tom Steyer, calls for a NUCLEAR WAR to remove Trump:

“So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I’d prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.“

“Steyer, who made his fortune as a hedge-fund manager, built the Need to Impeach campaign as an offshoot of his group NextGen America, best known for climate advocacy.”

Rolling Stone, June 29, 2018

July 5, 2018 – “You know you are over the target when the flak is heaviest.”

Scott Pruitt was hated because he was effective. He is as straight as Hillary is crooked.

Google Aided North Korean Military, Spurns Pentagon

18 USC Ch. 115, anti-social media, dems, google,

Update. A Google team, working under SVP Urs Hölzle of WWF, refused to implement a feature improving Google Cloud security necessary to bid on military contracts (according to Bloomberg). Earlier, Google announced it would not work with the US military on Artificial Intelligence projects. But this feature is not related to AI. Thus, Google refuses to aid the US military at all. Meanwhile, Google services (including Google Maps and Google AI) are available to terrorist organizations and hostile armed forces worldwide. In 2013, Google’s Chairman Eric Schmidt visited North Korea where he aided the North Korean military.  Continue reading Google Aided North Korean Military, Spurns Pentagon →

Big Tech is the new Big Tobacco!

In fact, it is much worse. Big Tech has committed much worse fraud on its consumers than the Big Tobacco has been accused. Worse, Big Tech funded groups intimidating its opponents, and even lawmakers and government officials. Big Tech also uses its control of the communications line to silence its critics.

Jun 4, 2018 – Google (GOOG, GOOGL), Facebook (FB), and Twitter (TWTR) use their internet gatekeepers’ positions to manipulate (inflate) their stock prices. Continue reading Big Tech is the new Big Tobacco, plus … →

Netflix is an illegal drugs dealer?

Big Tech, Obamanet,

In August 2017, Netflix (NFLX) offered for sale illegal marijuana all over the United States to promote another of its junk junkies-centered shows.

The offer was placed as an editorial article (an advertorial, in the professional slang) in multiple publications, including Variety (“Netflix made the point in its press materials that it’s not profiting off the sales of the product, which are for promotional purposes” — they should tell that to a judge), Mashable, Rolling Stone, and on Twitter.  Continue reading Netflix is an illegal drugs dealer? →
