Google: Disabling the Politically Incorrect

For instance, take Google delisting the Italian web site Uruknet as a news source, thus removing it from the Google News page. According to Alexa, the web-ranking organization, Uruknet is highly rated as an Iraqi news source. “URUKNET is and has been the most consistent, credible, and powerful web-based source of News and Information on Iraq during the last 4 years. They have incomparable lines of communication direct from inside Iraq that fly in the face of the lies of the Global Corporate Empire. When the imperialists cannot buy off or intimidate websites like URUKNET, they can always depend on their billion dollar corporations like Google to get the job done,” explains Les Blough of AxisofLogic.

According to Robert Steele, former intelligence officer the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence from 1988-1992, Google takes “money and direction from my old colleague Dr. Rick Steinheiser in the Office of Research and Development at CIA.” As well, according to the Google Watch web site, Google hires former spooks, for instance Matt Cutts, a former NSA employee with a “top-secret clearance.”

I've always found it 'typical' that Google news only shows politically correct news agencies.

Uruknet is political invective written in poor English, and shouldn't have been considered a news source in the first place.

top-secret clearance

Not really a big deal. Even my dad had top secret clearance at the DOD. I think they must had that out like candy.

I dissagree. Uruknet is just as much a news source as aljazeera or indimedia, which are not showing in google news much either btw.

Besides, what you think is irrelevant, there are people out there that are entitled to get news from different sources, even when those sources do not always show the same side of news.

Explain to me why a commercial multinational search engine need people with a US government secret clearance?

My father was a computer engineer with Honeywell, and the military used Honeywell mainframes. I would think if Matt was a computer guy (information retrieval) he would need clearance to do his job, just like my father.

Just a guess.

So in case of Google, it could be that 'the US military' is using their main frame too, right?

..or the NSA maybe?

All very normal of course, to give the US military access to the personal data of millions of people all over the world.

...and all very normal for private multinational companies to exchange data with US military.
