Google Victims

Google has too much blood on its hands

Google employees will be haunted by the many victims

Here we stand at the dawn of the second decade of 21st century—a time where we can reach each other, half way across the world, at near speed of light.

Yet when we try to warn our fellow humans against impending dangers, be it natural or  human-made disasters, all of our efforts are heavily filtered, blocked or buried by Google, Inc.

Had Google permitted hundreds of its censorship victims view the potentially vital information posted on this and other blogs, warning consumers, air travelers and holidaymakers against potentially deadly products, activities and places, at least some of the following people may have still been alive today.

The deaths are directly attributable to the victims’ inability to make an informed decision because Google prevented vital information from reaching them:

• 103 victims of the Afriqiyah Airways flight from Johannesburg, which crashed in Tripoli, Libya
• How Emily May Harper Was Killed in NZ

In the past two years, hundreds of tourists have been killed and a thousand or so others have been injured, most of them seriously, and many have been raped in New Zealand because they were unable to make an informed decision about traveling to that country.

Detailed information posted on the dangers of visiting New Zealand was heavily filtered and suppressed by Google.

• Aussie Tourist’s Biggest Mistake in Life …
• World’s 10 Worst Holiday Destinations to Avoid
• Proudly Killed in New Zealand [Most recent toll only!

How much longer are  WE THE PEOPLE going to tolerate Google censorship and suppression of vital safety information?

The time has come to demand from the lawmakers to break up Google into tiny, much less harmful pieces.

Google Censorship is a Major Threat to Our Personal Safety!]

China Mine Explosion Death Toll Rises to 21

The death toll in a coal mine explosion in SW China’s Guizhou province rises to 21: Xinhua news

The rainstorms have destroyed or damaged 10,200 hectares of crops and 480 residential buildings in the region.

“The violent weather occurred five days after storms that killed 11 people and left two others missing in Hunan.” Xinhua said.

“It was the strongest rain in the city since 1984, said Ge Suping, director of the Xinyu government.”

Since about May 5, flooding caused bu rainstorms in south China have left at least 86 people dead, 16 missing, and more than 200 injured, as well as causing about 5.9 billion yuan ($864 million) in direct economic losses.

Flooding wreaks havoc in the towns along the Missouri River

• NWS Flood Statement

National Weather Service (NWS) says it could get worse.

Several towns along the Missouri River should expect moderate to major flooding by early next week, which would close roads and soak crops, NWS hydrologist Mark Fuchs  said.

“We’re looking basically at the highest flooding the Missouri has seen this year, and it may be the highest we’ve seen in quite a while,” Fuchs said.

Thunderstorms are expected to persist through Sunday.

“We’re pretty wet right now, so if we did get a big event in the next week or so we could have some pretty significant flooding,” Fuchs said.

“It has already been a wet week across the plains. Parts of Iowa received more than 5 inches of rain Wednesday night and Thursday morning. A day earlier, the St. Louis region was hit with thunderstorms that brought up to 3 inches of rain.” AP reported.

“As a result, rivers and creeks have risen sharply — too much in many places. Flash floods closed dozens of roads and smaller highways. Flash flood warnings were in effect throughout parts of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.”

Jody Jones of Rutledge, 32, drowned while struggling to get out of his car on Wednesday as it was being swept away by a flash flood, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported. More…

Destructive storms struck southwest Missouri. A tornado touched down breakfast time, destroying a Pizza Hut restaurant near downtown Monett and damaging a number of  other businesses.

Democratic Republic of Congo on Fire
