Google Gagged
Eric Schmidt you’re a LIAR!
Google has committed “the biggest known data protection violations in history.” —Johannes Caspar, chief of data protection office in Hamburg, Germany.
Google Caught Spying, Lying, Again! November 8, 2013
“Google has denied[sic,] any link to the U.S. electronic mass surveillance mainly conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA). But, the NSA data collection has a commercial format; the U.S. government and its officials have no direct use whatever for the data other than to hand it over to the U.S. corporations in return for financial favors including lucrative post-retirement positions in the ‘private’ sector.” —FIRE-EARTH
‘Google Helps U.S. Government Spying on Americans’
“Communication companies are accomplices in the surveillance” ~Ray McGovern, a former CIA official. [ July 165, 2013]
“What’s happened here is the us companies have become joined in a way with United States Government in such a way that you have the corporations, the government, the media and the congress and judiciary all pretty much joined in a complicit attempt to circumvent the constitution of the United States. There’s zero concern on the part of the communication companies to violate the law. They know that they’ll be protected, even if it’s ex post facto…”

Stop the Ongoing Internet Censorship by Google.com – Google.com continues to filter/ block information posted on FIRE-EARTH
The Forecasts, analysis, views and core ideas posted on this blog are unique to FIRE-EARTH and could potentially save millions of people from harm.
However, based on ongoing observations, we believe Google.com is preventing an estimated 99.999685% of the people with access to Internet in the United States from receiving this information.
Millions of others in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and other countries are also prevented from viewing this blog.
We know Google.com is responsible for the information denial (as opposed to NSA, to name but one example) because their search engines either do not list FIRE-EARTH posts/pages, or list them in such dismissive manners so as to deter the searchers from clicking on the links.
Based on the above, we believe the readers can and should bring a class-action lawsuit against Google.com, which would at least serve to exposing the unethical firm and could potentially lead to a global boycott.
We do NOT underestimate Google’s vast influence over the government branches.
Please see also numerous other entries posted on this blog concerning Google censorship.
To us, it makes very little difference how many people read this blog for reasons that will become clearer in the coming months.
To you, it could mean much, much more!

Google Corporate Terrorism: A Conspiracy Against the People!
Google’s Corporate Practices are a Major Threat to Freedom and Democracy!
There are only two ways in which Google can be viewed:
1. Google is an information terrorist and therefore a threat to democracy and freedom.
2. Google, a commercial organization, is also the world information police. A large corporation with near-monopoly control over the search and flow of Internet information, Google is a constituent of the cabal that dictates policy to the U.S. Administration. The company is also a major component of the de facto “over-government” in the U.S. [and rest of the “free world.”]
Either way, Google’s corporate practices pose a serious threat to democracy, the rule of law and our individual freedoms.
[Google’s manipulation of search results are also destroying the concept of fair business practice, which forms the backbone of a true democracy! ]
How much longer is Google allowed to continue violating with impunity the United States Constitution and the international law?
A Conspiracy Against the People
The Moderators at the public information blogs listed below condemn Google in the strongest possible terms for content censorship. Google search engines filter, block and bury blog posts that contain contents or information the cabal deems uncomplimentary to its businesses and its business partners, thereby preventing the public from discovering the truth!
Google poses a clear and present danger to the democracy, individual freedoms and therefore the security of the United States and the rest of the ‘free world.’ To minimize Google threat, we urge those of the lawmakers who still believe in the Constitution to break up the company into much smaller, less harmful units.
Google says their motto is “Do No Evil!” yet most of its immoral earnings come from predatory advertising, and its corporate practice is suppression of information!

[However, we won’t hold our breath!]
As a near-monopoly of the global flow of information, Google is in flagrant breach of Sherman Antitrust Act and the EEC antitrust laws.
Google is promoting own commercial interests and political agenda by manipulating information flow and search results.
No single corporation in the U.S. poses as much threat to democracy, individual freedoms and therefore the security of the country as does Google!

Google Censoring Continues
Google censoring of Fire-Earth and affiliated blogs listed below is intensifying!
Many of our blog entries that criticize a public figure, corporation, faulty product, tainted food or indeed a host of other things that are deemed to be harmful to our readers, are filtered out and buried by the Internet mafia’s search engines.
So far, even a mere mention of the following names in the blogs’ entries has resulted in those posts receiving up to 100 times fewer hits than the average entries do on the respective blogs.
Example: When Google “disliked” Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin Joins TV Network for Mentally Challenged received about 550 hits per day.
This Week: Sarah Palin Joins TV Network for Mentally Challenged has received less than 7 hits per day.
OK, she is no longer running for the No. 2 job in the country, but she is still a high profile figure. There are also numerous other examples that verify our findings.
Google’s Top 10 List of “Holy Cows”
2. Rahm Israel Emanuel, Nancy Plosi, and all other high profile politicians
3. Sarah Palin [also: Dick Cheney, George W Bush, Colin Powell, especially John McCain]
4. Pat Robertson [Judeo-Christianity, Zionism, 9/11 issues, War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq, Gaza Occupation …]
5. Fox News, CNN and All other Google partners (Fire-Earth believes that Google delays listing of many blog posts on the internet, thereby allowing its partners to duplicate and broadcast the topic/concept before the bloggers’ messages become searchable).
6. American Airlines (as well as Air New Zealand and all other airlines listed on FEWW Top 10 Most Dangerous Airlines list.)
7. The United Nations, Nato, Red Cross, FBI, the Church, Wall Street …
8. The Pope, Ban ki Moon (and other highly paid UN employees), Ben [NOT Benjamin] Shalom Bernanke, Bernard Madoff …
9. The Royal families [including the King of Saudi Arabia, their herd of princes and more princes, Emir of Dubai and their offspring, king of Thailand, as well as Presidents/PMs and high profile politicians in Israel, France, UK …]
10. Any corporation, organization, product or concept that Google or its partners have a stake in, or could be affected by the adverse publicity through association. See also The Suckers List of ‘Ethical Companies’

Google China Censorship
Posted by feww on January 23, 2010
Hilary Clinton, Eat Google!
Clinton to China: Do as we say, NOT as we do!
Thought for the Day:
If Google China censorship in China is done to appease the Chinese government, who or what is Google, Inc (the leading Internet Mafia) appeasing by filtering, blocking and burying certain information posted on Fire-Earth (this Blog)?
Mrs Clinton to Chinese Government: (Pointing with one hand) What you are asking Google to do is suppression of democracy; (pointing with the other hand) Google censorship in the US and rest of the ‘free world’ is for our own good. Google is trying to protect our way of life. Image source unknown. Image may be subject to copyright.

Greedy Google Grows Grabbing National Assets
Posted by feww on January 26, 2010
submitted by a reader
First NASA and Now NOAA
Google is gradually absorbing lucrative segments of national institutions
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, is targeted by Google for eventual takeover.
NOAA’s Press Release proudly declared:
‘Picture This: NOAA, Google Join Forces to Visualize Scientific Data’
Now picture this, Einstein: Most of you guys would be out of a job as soon as Google can seize the opportunity to engineer a “takeover” and have NOAA bastardized into tiny commercial/ semi-commercial units.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a government organization whose roots go back more than two centuries. It collects, analyzes, predicts and disseminates data on weather. Why does it need a corporate predator to teach it how to chew the fat, or shoot the breeze?
NOAA’s website says:
NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep citizens informed of the changing environment around them.
NOT for much longer, if Google has anything to do with it. Translation: Don’t hold your breath!
NOAA’s Press Release continues:
NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and Google have signed a cooperative research and development agreement outlining how they will work together to create state-of-the-art visualizations of scientific data to illustrate how our planet works.
You mean a business deal, where Google stands behind, while NOAA grabs its proverbial ankles, right?
“It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Here, we think NOAA’s billions of bits of data are worth thousands of pictures,” said Richard W. Spinrad, Ph.D., NOAA assistant administrator for oceanic and atmospheric research. “Through this agreement, Google’s technical expertise will help to improve access to NOAA data in ways that allow the scientific community and the public to better use our information to understand earth science and make informed decisions.”
Why fix something, if it ain’t broke?
It’s unclear whether the deal was authorized by Richard W. Spinrad, Ph.D., NOAA assistant administrator, or signed by NOAA Administrator, Dr. Jane Lubchenco.
Under the agreement, NOAA and Google plan to work together on research and development to join NOAA’s oceanographic, meteorological, biological, and climatological data with Google’s software capabilities. The wide availability of Google’s Internet tools has the potential to bring visualizations of NOAA data to new audiences around the world.
Oh, really? Have you asked Google just exactly why THEY are doing all this and WHAT exactly THEY expect to get from it, Mr Assistant Administrator? Of course not! I bet you’re too busy admiring the wine!
What’s wrong with NOAA and the intelligent parts of NASA and … working together? What’s the problem, are they short of scientists, funds, time or something?
Dr. Jane Lubchenco, as NOAA Administrator YOU have a duty to protect national assets. Google is a predatory, non-charitable organization. PULL out of the deal before they DESTROY NOAA and our national assets.
Stop the grossly greedy google growing gigantic gobbling govt goods!
On Google Digital Book Gouging
Posted by feww on February 18, 2010
What people said about Google digital book monopoly intentions, as the case goes to NY court
Google is about to face objectors in a New York court over its plans to create the world’s biggest digital books monopoly
A single judge, Denny Chin, is about hold a hearing concerning the arguments for and against a contentious deal between the Internet Goliath, Google (dubbed the Internet leading mafia family), and US authors and publishers, some 26 interested parties.
The intelligent consensus is that the deal would provide the search Goliath with a monopoly over online books sales.
Here’s what people say:
“I do think all the books in the world should be digitised but I think it is completely wrong to give one huge company control of that huge database and this is a very very important matter.” —Consumer Watchdog
“This de facto exclusive licence will provide Google with an enormous advantage over its search competitors.” —Open Book Alliance
“Content that can be discovered by only one search engine offers that search engine some protection from competition. This outcome has not been achieved by a technological advance in search or by operation of normal market forces; rather, it is the direct product of scanning millions of books without the copyright holders’ consent.” —The Justice Department
“Google already processes about two-thirds of the search requests in the United States, an advantage that led the company to rake in $79 billion in revenue during the past five years — mostly from short ads posted alongside search results and other Web content. ” —The Associated Press.
Google says their motto is “Do No Evil!” yet most of their immoral earnings come from predatory advertising, and their corporate practice is suppression of information!

EU slaps google with $2.7bn fine for abuse of market power
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40406542
Google has been fined €2.4bn ($2.7bn; £2.1bn) by the European Commission after it ruled the company had abused its power by promoting its own shopping comparison service at the top of search results.
The amount is the regulator’s largest penalty to date against a company accused of distorting the market.
The ruling also orders Google to end its anti-competitive practices within 90 days or face a further penalty.
The US company may decide to appeal.
Google had previously suggested that Amazon and eBay had more influence over the public’s spending habits and that the commission’s views “failed to fit the reality of how most people shop online”.
However, the decision could set a precedent that determines how the EU’s civil service handles related complaints about the prominence Google gives to its own maps, flight price results and local business listings within its search tools.
Fast growth
Google Shopping displays relevant products’ images and prices alongside the names of shops they are available from and review scores, if available.
The details are labelled as being “sponsored”, reflecting the fact that, unlike normal search results, they only include items that sellers have paid to appear.
On smartphones, the facility typically dominates “above-the-fold” content, meaning users might not see any traditional links unless they scroll down.
Google also benefits from the fact the Shopping service adverts are more visual than its text-based ads.
One recent study suggested Shopping accounts for 74% of all retail-related ads clicked on within Google Search results. However, the BBC understands Google’s own data indicates the true figure is smaller.
Seven-year probe
The European Commission has been investigating Google Shopping since late 2010.
The probe was spurred on by complaints from Microsoft, among others.
The rival tech giant has opted not to comment on the ruling, after the two struck a deal last year to try to avoid such legal battles in the future.
But one price comparison service has welcomed the fine.
“An entire industry has suffered because of Google’s unlawful, anticompetitive behaviour, and it has become a genuine struggle for survival for the likes of [us],” the chief executive of Kelkoo Richard Stables told the BBC.
“At the same time, Google’s abuse has raised costs for merchants, and it has meant higher prices for consumers and much more limited choice.”
Although the penalty is record-sized, it could have been bigger.
The commission has the power to fine Google’s parent company, Alphabet, up to 10% of its annual revenue, which was more than $90bn (£70.8bn) in its last financial year.

Google accused of criminal intent over StreetView data
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10278068.stm
Google is “almost certain” to face prosecution for collecting data from unsecured wi-fi networks, according to Privacy International (PI).
The search giant has been under scrutiny for collecting wi-fi data as part of its StreetView project.
Google has released an independent audit of the rogue code, which it has claimed was included in the StreetView software by mistake.
But PI is convinced the audit proves “criminal intent”.
“The independent audit of the Google system shows that the system used for the wi-fi collection intentionally separated out unencrypted content (payload data) of communications and systematically wrote this data to hard drives. This is equivalent to placing a hard tap and a digital recorder onto a phone wire without consent or authorisation,” said PI in a statement.
This would put Google at odds with the interception laws of the 30 countries that the system was used in, it added.
Scotland Yard
“The Germans are almost certain to prosecute. Because there was intent, they have no choice but to prosecute,” said Simon Davies, head of PI.
In the UK the ICO has said it is reviewing the audit but that for the time being it had no plans to pursue the matter.
PI however does intend to take the case to the police.
Continue reading the main story
“The idea that this was a work of a lone engineer doesn’t add up,” said Simon Davies Privacy International
“I don’t see any alternative but for us to go to Scotland Yard,” said Mr Davies.
The revelation that Google had collected such data led the German Information Commissioner to demand it handed over a hard-disk so it could examine exactly what it had collected.
It has not yet received the data and has extended the original deadline for it to be handed over.
The Australian police have also been ordered to investigate Google for possible breach of privacy.
‘Systematic failure’
According to Google, the code which allowed data to be collected was part of an experimental wi-fi project undertaken by an unnamed engineer to improve location-based services and was never intended to be incorporated in the software for StreetView.
“As we have said before, this was a mistake. The report today confirms that Google did indeed collect and store payload data from unencrypted wi-fi networks, but not from networks that were encrypted. We are continuing to work with the relevant authorities to respond to their questions and concerns,” said a Google spokesman.
“This was a failure of communication between and within teams,” he added.
But PI disputes this explanation.
“The idea that this was a work of a lone engineer doesn’t add up. This is complex code and it must have been given a budget and been overseen. Google has asserted that all its projects are rigorously checked,” said Mr Davies.
“It goes to the heart of a systematic failure of management and of duty of care,” he added.

As much as I hate the idea of Google filtering websites – and it REALLY irks me – forcing their hand from a governmental standpoint is Fascist.
So, just like anti-virus programs (I use 4 because they all catch things the others don’t) I also use other search engines like Cuil, Ask.com, AltaVista,etc. I encourage others to do the same.
I can’t help but notice that “Cuil” does not show-up in Google’s search results – that must be because Cuil was started by ex-Google techies.
When Google was just starting to take-off, I wrote them a letter stating that I was setting all my company’s PCs to default to their site because when lending on their top page…
(1) It was low-bandwidth and uncluttered (Bandwith bottlenecks cost me money in lost productivity)
(2) There were no advertisements – which also chew-up bandwidth.
And, I encouraged them on their search results:
(1) They were transparent
(2) advertisements were kept to a few relevant “sponsored links” along the right side of the page. (Hey, they’ve got to pay the bills somehow!)
(3) Search results ranking was purely based on relevance and the resulting websites volume of traffic – with (I think) relevance having the most “weight”.
GOOGLE HAS FORGOTTEN WHAT MADE THEM POPULAR, their search results are no longer relevant to the searchers’ needs, but are driven based on THEIR need for revenue.
Even more frightening, if you know the right strings, Google can get you into places you thought you would never be able to “hack” into because they are so “secure”.
