After busting Google for election meddling, Project Veritas contacts members of Congress to inform them – but will they do the right thing and hold the company liable?
07/19/2019 / By JD Heyes
Last week ahead of the G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, President Donald Trump caused the Left-wing media to lose their collective minds again when he trolled them over a question regarding Russian election meddling.
As POTUS sat with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an unidentified American reporter shouted a question asking whether Trump was planning to tell his counterpart not to “meddle” in the 2020 elections.
“Of course,” POTUS said before turning to Putin and facetiously saying, “Don’t meddle in the election.” He then playfully made the request again, this time pointing at the Russia leader, who laughed.
As The National Sentinel reported, Trump was obviously trolling the media and Democrats, most of whom are still pushing the lie that he “colluded” with Putin to “steal the election” from Hillary Clinton — despite the fact that special counsel Robert Mueller has ‘officially’ cleared him.
But like Mueller ignored Clinton’s direct involvement with Russian and Ukrainian sources during the 2016 election, Democrats and the ridiculously biased ‘mainstream’ media have ignored a major election meddling bombshell dropped by Project Veritas last week involving search and tech behemoth Google.
Project Veritas released an undercover video involving Google executive Jen Gennai talking about how her company is manipulating its AI algorithms to censor out pro-Trump, pro-administration content ahead of next year’s election.
The video also featured an insider/whistleblower who said Google’s primary objective is to prevent POTUS Trump’s reelection and to prevent anyone else like him ever making it to the White House.
So what, right? A private company can do whatever it wants, right? Not so fast. Because the Internet has become the new ‘public square’ in the 21st century and because Google’s market share is so large, researchers have found that the company — in combination with other social media behemoths — can actually influence the outcomes of elections.
Meddle, in other words. (Related: Vimeo bans Project Veritas, Natural News on the same day as criminal tech giants collude to silence independent journalism.)
This is far more serious than any ‘Russian’ meddling
Project Veritas didn’t just uncover this bombshell and report it. The organization has also informed a bipartisan group of lawmakers about its findings.
As Big League Politics reports:
The organization’s legal counsel, Benjamin Barr of Statecraft Law, sent letters to a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Washington D.C. including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Mike Lee (R-UT), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Ed Markey (D-MA) as well as Reps. Louis Gohmert (R-TX), David Cicilline (D-RI), Steve King (R-IA), and Jim Jordan (R-OH) informing them that Big Tech is an existential threat to our democratic process.
“Under the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”), federal election law prohibits corporations from making contributions,” Barr noted in the letter.
“This prohibition includes in-kind contributions by corporations where something of value is offered that supports or opposes a candidate for office. As an incorporated entity, Google is forbidden under the FECA to use resources to ‘never let[] somebody like Donald Trump [to] come to power again.’”
“The captured video of Ms. Gennai illustrates that Google is currently ‘training [its] algorithms’ and is thus taking concrete steps likely in violation of federal election law,” Barr noted further.
In subsequent reporting, Project Veritas has also exposed the search platform for instructing employees on how best to resist POTUS Trump and his policies, while blacklisting pro-life terms from search results before an abortion referendum in Ireland, and labeling conservative politicos like Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager ‘Nazis using dog whistles.’
Big League Politics reports that even more Google whistleblowers are set to come forward, so the PR nightmare may not be over for the company just yet.
Beyond that, it’s patently obvious that something needs to be done about Google’s election meddling, which is much more serious than anything Russia has done.
