When Zach Vorhies returned to his job at YouTube/Google after a hiatus in the summer of 2016, he was not political and he had tuned out the presidential election. This is why he really noticed how distraught his colleagues at Google were when when Hillary lost in November.
About a week after the Election, the CEOs held a company-wide meeting, where Founder, Sergey Brin declared that he was "personally offended at the election of Donald Trump" and the CFO described a discussion with the New York office about how they "were going to lose this election", which Zach found disturbing.
"Lose this election? It's not Google's to lose - it's the American peoples' election," he thought. "But the most shocking thing for me, which actually went over almost everybody else's heads, the significance of it, was a question asked by the CEO, Sundar Pitchai about what the most effective thing Google had done during the election and his response was very troubling. He said, it was the suppression of Fake News by their machine learning algorithms and that they were going to be expanding on that.
"And I went, 'Wait a minute. We're filtering Fake News? When was that decision made? Because their mission statement is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. When did Google get into the business of filtering Fake News?'
"So, I thought to myself, 'I'm going to figure out this definition of Fake News'...So, I started browsing through the company - and keep in mind, that Google was a very open company because of Eric Schmidt and so, as a result, I could just go and look at what other teams are doing.
"So, I started looking at what the Fake News team was doing and they actually had...an organization that was generating design documents; on defining exactly what Fake News was. And when I looked through the definitions, it turned out that 4 out of 5 all had to do with Hillary Clinton!
"And I was like, 'Wait a minute! Is this about filtering Fake News or is this about helping a candidate?' It seemed to me that it was about a political play.
"And so, I thought to myself, 'If there's such a thing as Fake News that's going to be defined at the company, then there's going to be something that executes the Fake News classification and removes them from the Search, the YouTube, the Google News.'
"And so, I sought to try to find out what that project was - and I found it. And the name of the project was called 'Machine Learning Fairness.' And over the course of a couple years, I gathered intelligence on this inside the company with publicly-available documents and when I was grabbing them, I was just grabbing them for myself, because at the time, I was like, 'No one's going to believe this. This is really out there but I need to have physical evidence for myself, so I know I'm not going crazy.'
"I saw Google essentially start seditious activities against the President. They deleted a word out of the Arabic dictionary, 'Covfefe', in order to play into the media's attempt to use the 25th Amendment [to remove Trump from office due to mental incapacitation] - and I went, 'Wow! This is sedition! This is treasonous - and now, because I know about it and if I don't say anything, then I'm part of the conspiracy, via silence.'
"So, that's when I realized I have to step forward, I had to contact someone that was trustworthy within the media, in order to disclose this to the public, no matter what the cost...and that's how I got connected with Project Veritas. And they did a sting operation and the rest is history."
All 52 States and Territories are now involved in the antitrust investigation against Google and the other FAANGs. Last week's Big Tech antitrust hearing in Congress discussed content that Zach had disclosed. He says, "I think we're on the verge of something big happening with Big Tech.
"One of the biggest problems is that they're censoring Conservatives and anyone that is a dissident...a bigger problem is that they're taking all of our data and they're selling it to China...
"[Google is] a trillion-dollar company right now, they own 90% of the [global] search market, about 80% of the mobile phone market - the technocracy is here...they also own a large amount of these SSL certificates...and they can just go ahead and, with the flick of a switch, disable the certificates at the root level for entire sections of the economy and [websites] just go down, because all of a sudden, their connection can't be trusted anymore...
"Google has the power to rig the Election. They've been caught rigging the Election already, not just in the United States but meddling in Ireland, in Brazil. This is the Technocracy.
"The biggest threat that we face in America, right now is Google."
