As a wave of riots batter American cities — resulting in the arrest of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-thousands-arrested-during-wave-of-riots-across-us">thousands</a> for looting, vandalism and violence — and with officials citing among the groups behind the riots Antifa, James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released a video that appears to show an undercover journalist infiltrating the far-left violence-embracing group. In the video, organizers from an Antifa group discuss behind closed doors violent tactics, like eye-gouging, and instruct members to focus on &#8220;destroying your enemy.&#8221;
On Thursday, Attorney General William Barr specifically cited Antifa as one of the extremist groups federal law enforcement officials have evidence were &#8220;involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity&#8221; in riot-torn cities over the last few days. “We have evidence that Antifa and other similar extremist groups, as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions, have been involved in instigating and participating in the violent activity,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/attorney-general-william-barr-we-have-evidence-that-antifa-has-been-involved-in-instigating-violence-during-riots">said</a> Barr. &#8220;We are also seeing foreign actors playing all sides to exacerbate the violence.&#8221;
In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLR76_e_koE&amp;feature=emb_title">video</a> and <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/antifa-practice-things-like-an-eye-gouge-it-takes-very-little-pressure-to/">report</a> published the same day, Project Veritas revealed its latest undercover operation, an operation which appears to have begun at least a year ago. A journalist with Project Veritas &#8220;infiltrated&#8221; an Antifa group, which he identifies as Rose City Antifa, and filmed some of its secretive members-only meetings.
&#8220;They do not hesitate to either push back or incite some kind of violence,&#8221; said the undercover journalist. &#8220;In our classes and in our meetings, before we do any sort of demonstration or Black Bloc [a tactic for concealing identity], we talk about weapons detail and what we carry and what we should have.&#8221; The journalist also stressed how organized the group is, describing it as more like a &#8220;company&#8221; or &#8220;business&#8221; than a local activist group, and suggested it is benefiting from &#8220;some type of outside funding, influence or resources.&#8221;
Among the comments made by alleged Antifa leaders caught on tape and featured in the video are:
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Practice things like an eye gouge, it takes very little pressure to injure someone’s eyes.”</li>
<li>“Consider like destroying your enemy. not like delivering a really awesome right hand, right eye, left eye blow, you know. It’s not boxing, it’s not kickboxing, it’s like destroying your enemy.”</li>
<li>“The whole goal of this, right, is to get out there and do dangerous things as safely as possible.”</li>
<li>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be the guy with the godd*m spike brass knuckles getting photos taking of you&#8230; Police are going to be like: ‘Perfect, we can prosecute these [Antifa] f**kers, look how violent they are.’ And not that we [Antifa] aren’t, but we need to f**king hide that sh*t.”</li>
</ul>

In his comments Thursday about the &#8220;evidence&#8221; of violent instigators obtained by federal law enforcement, Attorney General Barr made a point of drawing a clear &#8220;distinction&#8221; among &#8220;three different sets of actors&#8221;: those there to protest peacefully, those who &#8220;exploit the opportunity to engage in looting,&#8221; and &#8220;extremist agitators who are hijacking the protests to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.&#8221; Reports have suggested that these &#8220;extremist agitators&#8221; come from both the far-left and far-right, but Barr specifically cited Antifa Thursday as one the primary agents of violence.

WATCH: Antifa Members Discuss Violent Tactics, ‘Eye-Gouging,’ ‘Destroying Your Enemy,’ Undercover Video Claims

Antifa

Project Veritas

2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; (I-VT) campaign was rocked again on Tuesday after James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released more undercover footage exposing paid Sanders campaign staffers appearing to advocate for violence against political opponents.
The new video from Project Veritas allegedly shows Sanders campaign South Carolina field organizers Mason Baird and Daniel Taylor advocating for &#8220;extreme action&#8221; and &#8220;militancy&#8221; against political opponents and private property.
Project Veritas provided the following highlights of things that Baird said:
<ul>
<li>“I’ve canvassed with someone who’s an anarchist, and with someone who’s a Marxist-Leninist. So, we attract radical, truly radical people in the campaign … obviously that’s not outward-facing.”</li>
<li>“A lot of those people who do that kind of work, are … their politics fall well outside of the American sort of norm. So, they&#8217;re Marxist-Leninist, they&#8217;re anarchists, they&#8217;re these types of folks, and um, and they have more of a mind for direct action, for engaging in politics outside of the electoral system.”</li>
<li>“A lot of the stories we’re told in the United States about, you know, the gulags and the persecution of the Kulaks and things like that are exaggerated … we certainly don&#8217;t have, uh, a straight perspective on that stuff here in America.”</li>
<li>“We would need a federal government and a labor movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing that violence towards property.”</li>
<li>“It would, it&#8217;s gonna take, you know, it&#8217;s gonna take militancy … like a militant labor movement that’s willing to … strike, and if necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that.”</li>
<li>“… after we abolish landlords, we don’t have to kill them …”</li>
<li>“… once we break up Google, YouTube, Facebook,  nationalize these things, then that would be a huge thing forward so far as education stuff goes.”</li>
</ul>
Project Veritas provided the the following highlights of things that Taylor said:
<ul>
<li>“For me personally, I have no problem going all in on the campaign stuff because you’re planting a seed … yeah, the whole socialist thing four years ago was a whole lot more toxic than it is today …”</li>
<li>“We don’t want to scare people off, you first have to feel it out before you get into the crazy stuff &#8230; You know we were talking about more extreme organizations like Antifa, you were talking about, Yellow Vests, all that but we’re kinda keeping that on the back-burner for now.”</li>
<li>“We have all this momentum, where do we go, regardless of the outcome, after it’s all over? Change won’t come easily, regardless. Even if Bernie is elected, change will not come swiftly or easily, so the connections we make now in the campaign with people, and volunteers, it’s important we retain that regardless of the outcome. It’s unfortunate that we have to make plans for extreme action but like I said, they’re not going to give it to us even if Bernie is elected.”</li>
</ul>
The new release from Project Veritas comes after the group released undercover <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-campaign-staff-bernies-a-legit-socialist-masquerading-as-a-democratic-socialist">videos</a> involving a paid Sanders campaign staffer in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-campaign-staff-people-who-push-back-on-revolution-should-expect-a-violent-response">Iowa</a> and in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-bernie-staffer-allegedly-promotes-violence-kill-the-rich-put-republicans-in-camps">South Carolina</a> in recent weeks that showed the staffers allegedly advocating for violence against political opponents. The Sanders campaign has largely ignored media requests on the matter and even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernie-campaign-calls-police-on-reporters-for-asking-questions-about-his-staff-talking-about-killing-people">called the police</a> on journalists who pressed for a response from the campaign on the videos.

Sanders Campaign Rocked Again: More Staff Caught Advocating Violence Against Opponents

2020 Election

Bernie Sanders

Communism

Democratic Party

James O'Keefe

Media

Socialism

South Carolina

Violence

While Democrats tried their best this week to give life to the make-believe scandal of President Trump doing something or other, an actual real-life scandal broke out in the presidential campaign of a Democratic front-runner. Not just one scandal; three.
The gadflies of James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas have released jaw-dropping secret camera footage of two of Bernie Sanders’ field organizers.
The first organizer, Kyle Jurek, tells a PV Journalist that Trump supporters will probably have to be re-educated like Nazis after World War II. That, he says, is what Bernie’s offer of free education is all about – to “teach you not to be a… Nazi.” He goes on to say that this is why Stalin created the Gulags, which “were a lot better than what the CIA has told us.” On the other hand, if Trump is re-elected, he says, “cities will burn.”
The second organizer, Martin Weissgerber, also fantasizes about taking up arms against his country. He also dreams of sending Republicans to gulag-style re-education camps. He jokes about how Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham will react to being brutalized. Referring to Graham, he makes a limp wrist gesture, a classic anti-gay slur. Like Jurek, Weissgerber feels the Soviet Union and its gulags got a bad rap. He learned in college that the U.S.S.R. was “the most progressive place to date” for women’s rights. He hopes that President Bernie will forgo Constitutional norms and just issue decrees concerning the environment.
To understand the depth of this scandal, one only has to imagine Trump campaign workers caught declaring that the Nazis weren’t so bad. Not only Trump but every Republican within a five hundred mile radius would be asked whether they disavowed the organizer’s words.
And the difference is: Trump is clearly not a Nazi. You can tell he’s not a Nazi because the people who call him a Nazi don’t get arrested; they just get contributor gigs on CNN. You can tell he’s not a Nazi because his policies have done more in three years for blacks and other minorities than Barack Obama’s policies did in eight. And you can tell he’s not a Nazi because they name streets after him in Israel where Nazis tend to be held in low esteem. So a Nazi employee of Trump would not be representative of his boss.
But representative is exactly what the Sanders field organizers are. Their boss is indeed a Communist, despite his occasional weak-sauce claims to the contrary. He honeymooned in the Soviet Union and voiced praise for murderous thugs Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega. He signed a letter of support for Hugo Chavez and has refused to call dictator Nicholas Maduro a dictator. (Maduro has endorsed his “revolutionary friend” Bernie.)
When a Project Veritas reporter approached the Sanders campaign in South Carolina and asked them to comment on the Weissgerber videos, the campaign called the police. An officer arrived and told the journalist the campaign had no comment. “They wish [Weissgerber] hadn’t said that but they’re standing by him,” the officer explained. They did not disavow the comments.
Sanders is surging in the polls. One recent national poll has him in the lead and another shows him ahead of Joe Biden in New Hampshire, where Sanders won big in 2016.
This alone would make the Project Veritas videos a major scandal. But in fact, as I said, they are three scandals in one. The first scandal is that the Sanders campaign employs violent-minded Communists, and they may well represent their candidate. The second scandal is that no mainstream outlet is covering the first scandal. They themselves are so corrupted by leftist ideas, they just don’t see it.
And the third scandal, which may be the biggest scandal of all, is that young voters love Sanders. He won a larger percentage of the youth vote in 2016 than Trump and Hillary Clinton combined, and if he has fewer young people in his camp this time out, it’s because so many of the other Democrat candidates have imitated his socialist policies in hopes of winning the future.
This means the leftist professors who taught Weissgerber that the Soviet slave empire and its gulags were not so bad after all are not anomalous but typical. Our universities are spreading lies in order to teach our children to vote themselves into slavery.
The Democrats condemned Donald Trump for 24 straight hours on the Senate floor this week. Not once did they mention any action by Trump that endangered our freedoms.
A Communist surging in the polls. A media that turns a blind eye. Universities spreading Soviet lies. These are scandals that threaten us all.

Sen. Bernie Sanders.

KLAVAN: The Three Bernie Sanders Scandals

Bernie Sanders&#8217; presidential campaign in South Carolina contacted law enforcement officials on Thursday after undercover journalists with James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas pressed the campaign to answer questions about violent remarks made by a paid Sanders campaign staffer.
The move by the Sanders campaign to call the police on reporters for asking them tough questions comes after Project Veritas released video earlier this week that allegedly showed Sanders field organizer Martin Weissgerber saying he wanted to kill wealthy people and throw Republicans into camps.
The police officer who responded told Project Veritas, &#8220;They said they are going to have no comment. If you try to make contact with them, it’s no comment &#8230; it’s one of those things where they wish he hadn’t said that, but they’re standing by him.&#8221;

Bernie Campaign Calls Police On Reporters For Asking Questions About His Staff Talking About Killing People

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released new bombshell undercover footage on Tuesday that appeared to show another paid member of 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders&#8217; campaign promoting violence against political opponents and against successful people.

Democratic Presidential Candidates Attend MLK Rally At South Carolina Capitol Dome

Another Bernie Staffer Allegedly Promotes Violence: Kill The Rich, Put Republicans In Camps

Remember this the next time you hear someone in the media fret about &#8220;protecting whistleblowers.&#8221; After footage leaked of an ABC reporter complaining about higher-ups killing her Jeffrey Epstein story and preventing her from reporting on it for three years, ABC set out to find the person responsible for the leak. Reportedly, they did find the culprit. The person now works at CBS. According to journalist Yashar Ali, that person <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-report-alleges-abc-news-determined-the-identity-of-ex-staffer-who-leaked-damning-epstein-footage-of-their-anchor-so-cbs-news-fired-the-staffer">has now been fired</a>. Page Six adds that <a href="https://pagesix.com/2019/11/07/cbs-news-fires-staffer-who-had-access-to-leaked-amy-robach-audio/?dg">the staffer is a female</a>.
To review: A woman at ABC discovered that the network was protecting a serial rapist and sex trafficker. She blew the whistle on the scandal and left the company. ABC then tracked the woman down and enlisted CBS to fire her on its behalf. Both of these networks, who colluded to punish a whistleblower, have spent the last many months and years breathlessly extolling the virtues of whistleblowing and the evils of collusion.
<iframe title="Media Wages War Against Whistleblower | The Matt Walsh Show Ep. 366" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dc_gnVXS8vQ?start=137&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Remember what Amy Robach said in the leaked footage:
<blockquote>I’ve had the story for three years. I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told, &#8220;who’s Jeffrey Epstein, no one knows who that is, this is a stupid story.&#8221; Then the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will — that also quashed the story. And then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in it because of the planes. She told me everything. She had pictures, she had everything. She was in hiding for 12 years. We convinced her to come out. We convinced her to talk to us. It was unbelievable what we had — Clinton, we had everything.</blockquote>
This is a firsthand witness and victim who could present documentation to support her allegations against some of the most powerful people on Earth. ABC&#8217;s squashing of these revelations is, without question, one of the most significant media scandals in modern times. That&#8217;s what makes it all the more stunning and disgraceful that a rival network would help them punish the woman who blew the lid on it all.
Indeed, most of the mainstream media has given an assist to ABC either by mostly ignoring the scandal or by openly defending ABC. CNN&#8217;s &#8220;media correspondent,&#8221; Brian Stelter, when faced with the biggest media story of the decade, was seemingly reluctant to say anything about it at all. When he <a href="https://www.redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2019/11/06/brian-stelters-hot-take-abcepstein-story-everything-wrong-journalism-media-firefighters-today/">finally did acknowledge</a> the bombshell, he accepted ABC&#8217;s excuse at face value and turned the story into another opportunity to scold &#8220;right-wing commentators&#8221; for &#8220;stoking hatred of the media.&#8221; As for NBC, its reluctance to cover the scandal is par for the course. After all, these are the people who <a href="https://www.insider.com/nbc-execs-tried-to-shut-down-harvey-weinstein-story-2019-11">ran interference for Harvey Weinstein</a> for years.
No doubt, the media will continue acting persecuted when President Trump attacks them and labels them &#8220;enemies of the people.&#8221; But there&#8217;s a reason those attacks play so well. And they deserve all of the vitriol and contempt heaped upon them.

Jeffrey Epstein

WALSH: ABC And CBS Just Colluded To Fire A Whistleblower. The Hypocrisy Is Breathtaking.

ABC News

CNN&#8217;s Brian Stelter — who is routinely described by critics online as &#8220;<a href="https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2019/07/17/the-medias-janitor-strikes-again-redsteeze-takes-brian-stelter-to-the-woodshed-over-his-defense-of-cnn-giving-richard-spence-air-time/">the media&#8217;s janitor</a>&#8221; — defended ABC News on Tuesday night in his newsletter after James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released a video in which an ABC anchor reveals that the left-wing network covered up a bombshell story about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
Stelter refused to give any credit to O&#8217;Keefe or Project Veritas for their latest video and instead attempted to dismiss them by referring to them as a &#8220;right-wing, pro-Trump activist group.&#8221;
Stelter quoted an article from far-left Vox, which gave O&#8217;Keefe and Project Veritas credit, by removing that portion of what Vox reported. Stelter refused to report on the bombshell story on CNN&#8217;s website and he buried the story several hundred words deep into his newsletter.
Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Ingersoll called out Stelter&#8217;s actions, tweeting: &#8220;Why is qualifying the messenger — &#8216;pro trump activist group&#8217; — necessary here? Who cares? She’s on tape saying ABC spiked the story.&#8221;

Stelter falsely claimed that &#8220;Robach clearly thinks she&#8217;s just speaking privately to a colleague.&#8221;
Journalist Yashar Ali dismantled this notion on Tuesday, writing on Twitter: &#8220;ABC News&#8217; comms team let a statement go out saying that a moment where Amy was on set, in front of cameras, and wearing a mic was a &#8216;private moment&#8217;? Amy is a total pro who has been in this business for two decades&#8230;she knew where she was and it certainly wasn&#8217;t private.&#8221;

An insider from ABC News leaked the footage which shows anchor Amy Robach venting to other people on set that she was angry that other places were breaking all the stories on Epstein because she had the story three years ago but did not publish it because the network was worried it would impact their ability to interview the royal family. Robach stated:
<blockquote>I’ve had the story for three years. I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told who’s Jeffrey Epstein, no one knows who that is, this is a stupid story. Then the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will, that also quashed the story. And then Alan Dershowitz was also implicated in it because of the planes. She told me everything. She had pictures, she had everything. She was in hiding for 12 years. We convinced her to come out. We convinced her to talk to us. It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we had everything. [emphasis added]
I tried for three years to get it on to no avail and now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new relevant revelations and I freaking had all of it. I’m so pissed right now, like every day I get more and more pissed because I’m just like, oh my god, what we had was unreal. Other women backing it up. Brad Edwards the attorney three years ago saying like, ‘there will come a day for we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known.’ I had it all three years ago.</blockquote>
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck unloaded on Stelter online, writing: &#8220;Annnd here&#8217;s Stelter defending ABC. The media janitor again suggested WE the people are the problem.&#8221;
&#8220;Stelter&#8217;s hackery is so steep he couldn&#8217;t even bring himself to mention @JamesOKeefeIII or @Project_Veritas by name,&#8221; Houck added. &#8220;There&#8217;s 15 sections in the newsletter (separated by a thin, gray line) and six of them are either gleefully promoting Democratic/liberal causes or attacking conservatives.&#8221;

‘MEDIA’S JANITOR’: CNN’s Stelter Defends ABC Over Epstein Scandal

In a new undercover sting video released on Thursday by James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas, a production supervisor at CNN suggested that he wants President Donald Trump to die &#8220;hopefully soon.&#8221;
The remarks were included in a nearly 16-minute long video in Project Veritas&#8217; third installment of its undercover sting video series on CNN, which the group has dubbed &#8220;Expose CNN.&#8221;
Highlights from the video include [emphasis added]:
Gerald Sisnette, Field Production Supervisor at CNN:
<ul>
<li>“This is a story that’s not gonna go away … The only way this will go away is when he [Trump] dies. Hopefully soon.”</li>
</ul>
Patrick Davis, Manager of Field Operations at CNN:
<ul>
<li>“… I hate seeing what we were and what we could be and what we’ve become. It’s just awful … I mean, we could be so much better than what we are … And the buck stops with him [Zucker].”</li>
<li>“I haven’t listened to a 9AM call in about 15 years. I just stopped. Just, I can’t listen to it. It’s all bulls**t. It’s all just a bunch of bulls**t. And I wish that wasn’t the case.”</li>
<li>“And you learn it in journalism school, we’re supposed to be middle of the road, that’s our job. Now it’s just infotainment is all it’s become.”</li>
<li>“We don&#8217;t, even though we&#8217;re totally left-leaning, we&#8217;re not, we don&#8217;t wanna admit it.”</li>
</ul>
Scott Garber, Senior Field Engineer at CNN:
<ul>
<li>“We used to cover news. We used to go out and do stories … But Trump is more important.”</li>
</ul>
Adia Jacobs, CNN Technical Operations Supervisor:
<ul>
<li>“When Zucker took over it wasn’t until Trump that we ended up being all Trump all the time.”</li>
</ul>
Mike Brevna, Floor Manager at CNN:
<ul>
<li>“It’s the Trump Network, dog. It’s like everything is all Trump … they[&#8216;re] not even thinking about anybody else. They sold themselves to the devil.”</li>
</ul>
Christian Sierra, CNN Media Coordinator:
<ul>
<li>“… [C]onflict is what sells, nobody wants to hear one-minute canned statements … Because conflict drives clicks … create clicks, get more money.”</li>
<li>“It&#8217;s always about the money.”</li>
</ul>

The third installment of &#8220;Expose CNN&#8221; comes after the the first round of leaked videos hit the news on Monday, where CNN President Jeff Zucker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/project-veritas-video-cnn-head-appears-to-admit-network-pushing-impeachment-has-personal-vendetta-against-trump-employee-says">told</a> employees that he wanted everything to be about the “moves towards impeachment.”
In the video, Zucker also said that he wanted his employees to &#8220;knock off&#8221; their friendliness toward Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
In the video, Neville said that Zucker “has a personal vendetta against Trump” and that he “blatantly hates Trump” and that it impacts CNN’s news coverage of the president.
Neville added: “But then you have higher up executives, like Zucker and other people, who are saying, ‘Well, we gotta make profits.’ So, you end up with things like — I don’t know if you heard this, but this week they had like a f***ing game show to, like, decide what dates they’re, it’s gonna be this debate.”
Sierra said that after Trump won, “the mood was just so sour the whole day” at CNN&#8217;s offices.
“Cooper hates him &#8230; Don Lemon hates him,” Sierra continued. “Cuomo doesn’t like him” and Jake Tapper “doesn’t like him either.”
Sierra later said that the network does not cover Democrats and Republicans the same way during interviews.
“We’re tough on the Republicans,” Sierra said. “More so than the Democrats. Our Democratic interviews are like softballs, compared to the Republicans … if you notice like every time, we ask questions to Republicans, like it’s always a little tougher than when we do get the Democrats.”

WATCH: CNN Employee Appears To Say He Wants Trump To Die ‘Hopefully Soon’

Donald Trump

I learned last week from a Silicon Valley whistleblower, who spoke with the intrepid investigative team at Project Veritas, that my namesake news and opinion website is on a Google blacklist.
Thank goodness the Big Tech giant hasn&#8217;t taken over the newspaper syndication business yet. Twenty years of column writing have allowed me to break news and disseminate my opinions without the tyranny of social justice algorithms downgrading or whitewashing my words. But given the toxic metastasis of social media in every aspect of our lives, especially for those who make their living exercising the First Amendment, it may only be a matter of time before this column somehow falls prey to the Google Ministry of Truth, too.
Armed with internal memos and emails, former Google software engineer Zachary Vorhies exposed how MichelleMalkin.com (online since 1999) was placed on a news blacklist banning my content from appearing on newsfeeds accessed through Android Google products. I do not advocate violence, publish porn or indulge in vulgarity or profanity (other than my occasional references to Beltway crapweasels). But I triggered the Google Social Credit System and there&#8217;s no going back.
My apparent sin: Independently growing a large organic following of readers on the internet who share my mainstream conservative views on immigration, jihad, education, social issues, economic policy, faith and more.
Other conservative victims of the Google ban hammer include: Twitchy (a Twitter aggregation site I founded in 2012), FrontPage Magazine (founded by prolific conservative author and journalist David Horowitz), the Daily Caller (founded by Fox News host and journalist Tucker Carlson), Legal Insurrection (founded by Cornell University law professor and investigative blogger William Jacobson), NewsBusters (founded by Media Research Center in 2005), The Gateway Pundit (founded by grassroots social media pioneer Jim Hoft in 2004), the American Thinker (another of the veteran conservative blogs founded in 2003 by Thomas Lifson), LifeNews.com (an independent, pro-life news site founded in 1992 by Steven Ertelt), the Catholic News Agency and The Christian Post.
I suspect, because so many of the blacklisted sites belong to the original generation of conservative bloggers, that Google&#8217;s ideology-based censorship significantly predates the timeframe of the documents that Vorhies (who worked at Google for eight years) shared with Project Veritas. Indeed, my first substantiated censorship by Google/YouTube, which was covered by The New York Times, occurred 13 years ago in 2006. Around that time, it also became clear to me that humans, not algorithms, were manipulating Google Images to prioritize unspeakably crude photoshopped images of me disseminated by left-wing misogynists. And not long after, my heavily trafficked blog posts started dropping off the search engine radar altogether.
Several previous Google insiders have confirmed that the Big Tech giant discriminates against right-leaning journalists, pundits and personalities — not to mention free-thinking employees within its own workforce who&#8217;ve been persecuted, fired and even harassed by police for their whistleblowing. Leaked documents also show that a small cadre of meddling social justice overlords at Google Central Command manually manipulate search engine results — despite the company elite&#8217;s brazen denial of the practice at a recent congressional hearing.
In the early days of New Media, entrepreneurs on the left, right and center rallied around the transparency and open access mantra, &#8220;Information just wants to be free.&#8221; Now, in the wholly disingenuous names of &#8220;trust&#8221; and &#8220;safety,&#8221; the overlords of the internet want to throttle information with which they disagree. Google employees actively demote content on YouTube deemed &#8220;controversial queries,&#8221; according to internal documents from Vorhies, including the following phrases:
—Abortion is barbaric.
—Abortion is wrong.
—Abortion is murdering.
—Abortion is a crime.
&#8220;Do vaccines cause autism,&#8221; &#8220;climate change hoax,&#8221; and &#8220;Girl speaks about the danger in Germany due to rape refugees&#8221; were also all red-flagged as dangerously &#8220;fringe&#8221; by the Google P.C. police. So was President Donald Trump&#8217;s factual statement that immigration chaos has led to &#8220;people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they&#8217;re coming into this country,&#8221; which one open borders employee complained was &#8220;explicit bias&#8221; that &#8220;we should take a stand on.&#8221;
So they&#8217;re for foreign killers and rapists coming into this country? Noted.
Internal staff complaints catalyze search engine manipulation, so political agitation among Google employees is a harbinger of speech clampdowns to come. Just last week, more than 1,000 Google employees lobbied the company to shun any contract work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Given that Google works with the hate racket and smear machine known as the Southern Poverty Law Center, you bet I&#8217;m worried that my immigration blog and column archives (not to mention all my reporting on the treasonous Silicon Valley CEOs in my upcoming book, &#8220;Open Borders Inc.&#8221;) will trip the Google Social Credit wire.
With Google&#8217;s homegrown menaces squelching our freedom of expression, damaging our reputations and livelihoods through slimy and secretive blacklists, and hampering our ability to do honest research — not to mention mining student data in schools by tethering children to Google apps/email/Chromebooks and holding their academic progress hostage to Google&#8217;s high-tech leash — who needs foreign enemies? China ain&#8217;t got nuthin&#8217; on America&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Be Evil&#8221; thought control freaks.

In a video interview with <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/08/14/google-machine-learning-fairness-whistleblower-goes-public-says-burden-lifted-off-of-my-soul/">Project Veritas</a> released Wednesday, a Google whistleblower comes forward publicly for the first time to warn about the tech giant&#8217;s attempts to &#8220;sculpt the information landscape&#8221; in order to promote what he suggests is a politically and ideologically biased agenda. Among the company&#8217;s alleged, Project Veritas reports, are &#8220;news blacklists,&#8221; the use of &#8220;human raters,&#8221; and, according to the whistleblower, attempts to personally &#8220;intimidate&#8221; him.
The whistleblower, Zachary Vorhies, who worked as a senior software engineer at Google, previously provided Project Veritas leaked internal documents from the company, some of which addressed alleged <a href="http://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/24/insider-blows-whistle-exec-reveals-google-plan-to-prevent-trump-situation-in-2020-on-hidden-cam/">algorithmic bias</a>. He has since provided hundreds more internal documents, which Project Veritas has now <a href="http://www.projectveritas.com/google-document-dump">published</a>, including alleged &#8220;news blacklists&#8221; and documents referencing &#8220;human raters&#8221; in determining how some content is handled. Project Veritas reports:
<blockquote>Among those documents is <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/news-black-list-site-for-google-now.txt">a file</a> called “news black list site for google now.” The document, according to Vorhies, is a “black list,” which restricts certain websites from appearing on news feeds for an Android Google product. The list includes conservative and progressive websites, such as newsbusters.org and mediamatters.org. The document says that some sites are listed with or because of a “high user block rate.”
Another <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_0110.jpg">newly published document</a> titled “Fringe ranking/classifer: Defining channel quality” lists an example ranking of various news sites, including CNN and FOX News. <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_0114.png">A document titled</a> “Fake news &amp; other fringe: Trashy recap” reveals that videos are rated by multiple “human raters.”</blockquote>
&#8220;I gave the documents to Project Veritas, I had been collecting the documents for over a year,&#8221; Vorhies told Project Veritas founder James O&#8217;Keefe. &#8220;And the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company, and I realized that there were going to not only tamper with the elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States.”
Vorhies told O&#8217;Keefe that before he had gone public, Google already figured out who he was, sending him a &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; letter reviewed by O&#8217;Keefe demanding access to the documents he obtained and information about his handling of the files. Vorhies said that he fully complied with Google&#8217;s requests, but also told them that he sent the documents to the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/atr">Department of Justice Antitrust Division</a>.
Afterward, Vorhies says, he was outed as a &#8220;leaker&#8221; by an anonymous Twitter account, which prompted him to seek legal advice and &#8220;put out a dead man&#8217;s switch,&#8221; which would trigger the release of the files he&#8217;d obtained in case he was &#8220;offed.&#8221;
&#8220;The next day, the police began looking for me in two different locations,&#8221; Vorhies told O&#8217;Keefe. Vorhies says that Google likely contacted authorities about performing a &#8220;wellness check&#8221; on him. The San Francisco Police Department confirmed to Project Veritas that a &#8220;mental health&#8221; visit was conducted at Vorhies&#8217; residence. The incident, Vorhies alleges, is &#8220;a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company.&#8221;

WATCH: Google Whistleblower Discusses ‘News Blacklist,’ ‘Human Raters,’ ‘Intimidation’ Tactics

On Wednesday, Project Veritas released a video interview of a Google senior software engineer coming forward to sound the alarm over the impact of political bias at the search engine giant. Within a few hours, Google placed the engineer on administrative leave.
&#8220;Greg Coppola, the senior Google engineer who spoke to Project Veritas in an on-the-record interview about alleged bias in Google News and Google Search, has been placed on administrative leave,&#8221; <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/07/25/update-google-engineer-who-went-public-placed-on-administrative-leave/">Project Veritas</a> reported Thursday in an update on the Coppola interview. In response to the apparent retaliatory action, Coppola has created a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/ujvbwc-x">GoFundMe account</a> with the goal of raising $16,000 in the expectation that he &#8220;will probably be fired&#8221; for &#8220;expressing concern that big tech is taking sides in elections.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/49824/watch-google-engineer-goes-record-our-tech-not-james-barrett">The Daily Wire</a> reported Wednesday, Coppola, a senior software engineer in the Google Assistant division, agreed to go on the record with conservative organization Project Veritas to warn against the political bias he says is built into Google&#8217;s algorithms. In a statement to The Daily Wire, Project Veritas founder James O&#8217;Keefe described the moment as more evidence that &#8220;the dam has broken&#8221; on the issue of Big Tech bias.

&#8220;I&#8217;ve been coding since I was ten [years old],&#8221; Coppola told Project Veritas in the interview. &#8220;I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.&#8221;
&#8220;I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous.&#8221;
In reference to Google CEO Sundar Pichai testifying in front of Congress last December that the company&#8217;s searches are unbiased, Coppola dismissed the claim as &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221; While he has a &#8220;great deal of respect&#8221; for Pichai as a manager, Coppola said, &#8220;I think it’s, you know, ridiculous to say that there’s no bias. I think everyone who supports anything other than the Democrats, anyone who’s pro-Trump or in any way deviates from what CNN and the New York Times are pushing, notices how bad it is.&#8221;
Coppola pointed to the rise of Donald Trump as the turning point in the political bias problem in Big Tech. &#8220;I think as the election started to ramp up, the angle that the Democrats and the media took was that anyone who liked Donald Trump was a racist …&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that got picked up everywhere. I mean, every tech company, everybody in New York, everybody in the field of computer science basically believed that.&#8221;
<a href="http://chwatch/corinne-weaver/2019/07/25/google-punishes-whistleblowing-engineer-administrative">Newsbusters</a> reports that if Coppola is indeed fired, as he expects to be, &#8220;he will be the third public victim of Google’s inherent bias toward conservative engineers.&#8221;

Google Takes Action Against Whistleblower Who Called Out Political Bias

In the latest in a series of reports on Big Tech bias by Project Veritas, a senior Google engineer goes on the record to warn against the political bias built into the search engine&#8217;s algorithms, which he said are definitely &#8220;taking sides&#8221; in political contests.
The engineer, Greg Coppola, a senior software engineer in the Google Assistant division, told Project Veritas that he was going public with his warning in an attempt to encourage increased transparency in Big Tech amid what he described as an increasingly politically biased atmosphere. Claiming there&#8217;s no bias in Google&#8217;s algorithms is &#8220;ridiculous,&#8221; he said; the algorithms &#8220;don&#8217;t write themselves.&#8221; The clear bias he said is apparent to &#8220;everyone who supports anything other than the Democrats, anyone who’s pro-Trump or in any way deviates from what CNN and the New York Times are pushing.&#8221;
&#8220;I’ve been coding since I was ten [years old.] I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are,&#8221; said Coppola (partial transcript via <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/07/24/current-sr-google-engineer-goes-public-on-camera-tech-is-dangerous-taking-sides/">Project Veritas</a>). &#8220;They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we’re just at a really important point in human history,&#8221; he said in explanation for why he is coming forward. &#8220;I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral. Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous. And I think more generally we have to just decide now that we kind of are seeing tech use its power to manipulate people. It’s a time to decide, you know, do we run the technology, does the technology run us?&#8221;

Asked about Google CEO Sundar Pichai testifying in front of Congress last December that there&#8217;s no bias in his company&#8217;s searches, Coppola said that while he respects Pichai a great deal, the claim is &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;
&#8220;First of all, I report to Sundar of course. And I have a great deal of respect for him as a manager,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I work on the Google Assistant, which really doesn’t have a political bias. Google Assistant is things like, hey, Google, set an alarm for nine AM, play some music, that type of stuff … I think it’s, you know, ridiculous to say that there’s no bias. I think everyone who supports anything other than the Democrats, anyone who’s pro-Trump or in any way deviates from what CNN and the New York Times are pushing, notices how bad it is.&#8221;
The problem of political bias in Big Tech has gotten worse in recent years, he argued. After about a decade of relative neutrality, people began to trust companies like Google to provide them unbiased means of finding information. &#8220;We haven’t had time to absorb the fact that tech might have an agenda,&#8221; he said. The turning point in Big Tech from relatively neutral to increasingly partisan, he suggested, was Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential run.
&#8220;I think as the election started to ramp up, the angle that the Democrats and the media took was that anyone who liked Donald Trump was a racist …&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that got picked up everywhere. I mean, every tech company, everybody in New York, everybody in the field of computer science basically believed that.&#8221;
As for solutions to the growing bias problem, he stressed the need for more &#8220;transparency.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/07/24/current-sr-google-engineer-goes-public-on-camera-tech-is-dangerous-taking-sides/">Watch the full interview here</a>.)
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Project Veritas founder James O&#8217;Keefe said Coppola&#8217;s willingness to go on the record is more evidence that the &#8220;dam has broken&#8221; on the issue of Big Tech bias. &#8220;This is the new normal,&#8221; said O&#8217;Keefe. &#8220;Greg Coppola is yet another brave Google insider who has told his story about bias in tech through Project Veritas. The dam has broken, more tech insiders are approaching us daily.&#8221;

WATCH: Google Engineer Goes On Record: Our Tech Is NOT Politically Neutral

On Wednesday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) brilliantly grilled Derek Slater, Google Global Director of Information Policy, over revelations from a Project Veritas video of political bias at Google. Crenshaw&#8217;s questioning included his anger that according to the Project Veritas video, Google had referred to Daily Wire Editor-in Chief Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager as Nazis. Crenshaw snapped, &#8220;What kind of education do people at Google have so that they think that religious Jews are Nazis? Three of these people had family members killed in the Holocaust, Ben Shapiro is the number one target of the alt-right. And yet you people operate off the premise that he&#8217;s a Nazi.&#8221;
Crenshaw wasn&#8217;t finished with that; he fired off this missile: &#8220;When you label them, when one of the most powerful social media companies in the world labels people as Nazis, you could make the argument that&#8217;s inciting violence.&#8221; He concluded with a ringing denunciation, stating, &#8220;You do not have a constitutional obligation to enforce the First Amendment, but I would say that you absolutely have an obligation to enforce American values, and the First Amendment is an underpinning of American values that we should be protecting until the day we die.&#8221;
The exchange was so compelling that it is reprinted below:
<blockquote>
Crenshaw: There&#8217;s good questions on whether some of this content provides education so that we know of the bad things out there or whether it&#8217;s radicalizing people. Those are hard. Those are hard discussions to have and I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;re going to solve them today. But the problem is is that the testimony doesn&#8217;t stop there. The, the policies at your social media companies do not stop there. It doesn&#8217;t stop with the clear-cut lines of terrorism and terrorist videos and terrorist propaganda. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s not exactly what we&#8217;re talking about. It goes much further than that. It goes down the slippery slope of what speech is appropriate for your platform and the vague standards that you employ in order to decide what is appropriate.
And this is especially concerning given the recent news and the recent leaked emails from Google. They show that labeling mainstream conservative media as Nazis is a premise upon which you operate. It&#8217;s not even a question, according to those emails, the emails say, given that Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager are Nazis, given that that&#8217;s a premise, what do we do about it? Two of three of these people are Jewish, very religious Jews. And yet you think they are Nazis. It begs the question: what kind of education people at Google have so that they think that religious Jews are Nazis. Three of three of these people had family members killed in the Holocaust, Ben Shapiro is the number one target of the alt-right. And yet you people operate off the premise that he&#8217;s a Nazi. It&#8217;s pretty disturbing and it gets to the question, do you believe in hate speech? How do you define that or do you, can you give me a quick definition right now? Is it written down somewhere? Google, can you give me a definition of hate speech?
Slater: Yes. So hate speech again, as updated in our guidelines now extends to, uh, uh, superiority over protected groups to justify discrimination, violence, and so on based on, uh, a number of defining characteristics, whether that&#8217;s a race, sexual orientation, veteran status.
Crenshaw: Do you have an example of Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, Dennis Prager engaging in hate speech? Give one example off the top of your head.
Slater: So, congressman, we evaluate individual piece of content based on that content rather than based on the speaker.
Crenshaw: Okay, let&#8217;s, let&#8217;s get to the next question. Do you believe speech can be violence? All right, though there&#8217;s, there&#8217;s not, not can you incite violence; that is very clearly not protected, but can speech just be violence? Do you believe that speech that isn&#8217;t specifically calling for violence can be labeled violence and therefore harmful to people? Is that possible?
Slater: Congressman, I&#8217;m not sure I fully understand the distinction you&#8217;re drawing. Certainly, again, incitement to violence or things that aren&#8217;t urgent, dangerous behavior, those are things that would be against our policies.
Crenshaw: Here&#8217;s, here&#8217;s, here&#8217;s the thing. When you call somebody a Nazi or you can make the argument that you&#8217;re inciting violence and here&#8217;s how, as a country, we all agree that Nazis are bad. We actually invaded an entire continent to defeat the Nazis. It&#8217;s normal to say Hashtag punch a Nazi because there&#8217;s this common thread among this in this country that they&#8217;re bad and that they&#8217;re evil and that they should be destroyed.
So when you&#8217;re operating off of that premise and it&#8217;s frankly, it&#8217;s a, good premise to operate on, well, what you&#8217;re implying then is that it&#8217;s okay to use violence against them. When you label them, when one of the most powerful social media companies in the world labels people as Nazis, you could make the argument that&#8217;s inciting violence. What you&#8217;re doing is wholly irresponsible. It doesn&#8217;t stop there. Well, a year ago it was also made clear that you fact check system has blatantly targeted conservative newspapers. Do you have any comments on that? Are you aware of the story? I&#8217;m talking, about?
Slater: I&#8217;m not familiar with necessarily the specific story, congressman. I am aware that from all political viewpoints, we sometimes get questions of this sore. I can say that our fact check labels generally are done algorithmically based on a mark up and follow up on our policies.
Crenshaw: For the record, they specifically target conservative news media and oftentimes they don&#8217;t even, they have a fact check on there that doesn&#8217;t even reference the actual article. But Google makes sure that it&#8217;s right next to it. So as to make people understand that that one is questionable even though when you actually read through it has nothing to do with it. Um, you know, a few days ago &#8230; one of my constituents posted photos on Facebook of Republican women, daring to say that there are women for Trump. Facebook took down that post right away with no explanation. Is there any explanation for that?
Other Google exec: Without seeing it, It&#8217;s hard for me to apply and that doesn&#8217;t violate our policies, but I&#8217;m happy to follow up on this specific example with you.
Crenshaw: Thank you. Listen here, here&#8217;s what it comes down to. If we don&#8217;t share the values of free speech, I&#8217;m not sure where we go from here. You know, this practice of silencing millions and millions of people, it will create wounds and divisions in this country that we cannot heal from. This is extremely worrisome. You&#8217;ve created amazing platforms. We can do amazing things with what these companies have created, but if we continue down this path, it&#8217;ll tear us apart. You do not have a constitutional obligation to enforce the First Amendment, but I would say that you absolutely have an obligation to enforce American values, and the First Amendment is an underpinning of American values that we should be protecting until the day we die.

Annual AIPAC Conference In Washington

MUST-WATCH: Dan Crenshaw’s Blistering Questioning Of Google Execs Over Political Bias

Dan Crenshaw

A new Project Veritas video that includes testimony from a whistleblower, leaked internal documents, and undercover footage of a Google employee discussing how the company is working to prevent &#8220;the next Trump situation&#8221; has been pulled by YouTube, a platform owned by Google, &#8220;due to a privacy claim by a third party.&#8221; This is the second Project Veritas Big Tech exposé video taken down by the platform in two weeks.
On Monday, Project Veritas released its latest Big Tech report, this time focusing on ways an insider says Google manipulates what information its users access in order to promote an ideological and political agenda. In the video, the whistleblower &#8212; whose identity is protected &#8212; walks Project Veritas&#8217; James O&#8217;Keefe through internal Google documents that he says show that the search engine is a &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48804/whistleblower-heres-how-google-functions-highly-james-barrett">highly biased political machine</a>&#8221; that manipulates searches for the purpose of promoting its &#8220;fair and equitable&#8221; priorities, filtering out or deemphasizing even factual information if its creators deem that information &#8220;unfair.&#8221; To accomplish this, the company works to prevent &#8220;algorithmic unfairness.&#8221;
The video features clips of Project Veritas undercover reporters&#8217; secretly recorded discussion with Jen Gennai &#8212; head of Google&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://qz.com/1501998/google-created-a-responsible-innovation-team-to-check-if-its-ai-is-ethical/">Responsible Innovation</a>&#8221; team, which monitors the responsible implementation of A.I. technologies &#8212; in a restaurant in San Francisco. In the video, she discusses the rationale behind the company&#8217;s A.I. principles. &#8220;The reason we launched our A.I. principles is because people were not putting that line in the sand, that they were not saying what&#8217;s fair and what&#8217;s equitable so we&#8217;re like, well we are a big company, we&#8217;re going to say it,&#8221; she says, adding: &#8220;The people who voted for the current president do not agree with our definition of fairness.&#8221;
Another clip shows her discussing Google&#8217;s attempt to &#8220;prevent&#8221; another 2016. &#8220;Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google,&#8221; she says. &#8220;And like, I love her but she&#8217;s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don&#8217;t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it&#8217;s like a small company cannot do that.&#8221;
&#8220;We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn&#8217;t just us, it was &#8212; the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over &#8212; so we&#8217;re rapidly been like, what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again,&#8221; she says in another clip. &#8220;We&#8217;re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?&#8221;
By the end of the day, YouTube pulled the video &#8220;due to a privacy claim by a third party.&#8221;

Two weeks ago, YouTube <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48387/big-tech-crackdown-youtube-deletes-project-veritas-james-barrett">pulled</a> another Big Tech exposé video published by Project Veritas, likewise citing a privacy complaint. That video focused on alleged anti-conservative bias within Pinterest. &#8220;The established media and technology are so afraid of investigative journalism they need to censor it,&#8221; O&#8217;Keefe tweeted in response. &#8220;YouTube calls REPORTING on someone by showing their face and name, and how they added a pro-life group to a porn blacklist, a &#8216;privacy complaint.&#8217; Would they do this to NYT?&#8221;
On Monday, Gennai responded to the Google video in a <a href="https://medium.com/@gennai.jen/this-is-not-how-i-expected-monday-to-go-e92771c7aa82">blog post</a> on Medium, accusing Project Veritas of &#8220;selectively editing&#8221; and &#8220;distorting&#8221; her comments. She writes that she returned from a trip to find several threatening messages in response to her statements in the video. She explains that she accepted an invitation to dinner by people saying they were from a pro-tech diversity group, &#8220;2 Step Tech Solutions.&#8221; &#8220;Unfortunately, I now know that these people lied about their true identities, filmed me without my consent, selectively edited and spliced the video to distort my words and the actions of my employer, and published it widely online.&#8221;
<blockquote>
Project Veritas has edited the video to make it seem that I am a powerful executive who was confirming that Google is working to alter the 2020 election. On both counts, this is absolute, unadulterated nonsense, of course. In a casual restaurant setting, I was explaining how Google&#8217;s Trust and Safety team (a team I used to work on) is working to help prevent the types of online foreign interference that happened in 2016. Google has been very public about the work that our teams have done since 2016 on this, so it&#8217;s hardly a revelation.
The video then goes on to stitch together a series of debunked conspiracy theories about our search results, and our other products. Google has repeatedly been clear that it works to be a trustworthy source of information, without regard to political viewpoint. In fact, Google has no notion of political ideology in its rankings. And everything I have seen backs this up. Our CEO has said &#8221;We do not bias our products to favor any political agenda.&#8221; He&#8217;s somewhat more powerful and authoritative than me.

A new undercover video released by <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/24/insider-blows-whistle-exec-reveals-google-plan-to-prevent-trump-situation-in-2020-on-hidden-cam/">Project Veritas</a> features a woman the group describes as a &#8220;senior Google executive&#8221; appearing to suggest that Google is working to prevent &#8220;the next Trump situation.&#8221; The employee has since responded, accusing Project Veritas of &#8220;selectively editing&#8221; and &#8220;distorting&#8221; her words.
In a secretly recorded discussion at a restaurant in San Francisco, Jen Gennai &#8212; head of Google&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://qz.com/1501998/google-created-a-responsible-innovation-team-to-check-if-its-ai-is-ethical/">Responsible Innovation</a>&#8221; team, which monitors the responsible implementation of A.I. technologies &#8212; describes to undercover reporters for Project Veritas the rationale behind the company&#8217;s A.I. principles.

An anonymous whistleblower told Project Veritas that Google&#8217;s A.I. involves &#8220;Machine Learning Fairness,&#8221; which the insider explained is &#8220;one of the many tools Google uses to promote a political agenda,&#8221; Project Veritas reports.
&#8220;They&#8217;re going to redefine a reality based on what they think is fair and based upon what they want, and what and is part of their agenda,&#8221; the insider tells Project Veritas founder James O&#8217;Keefe.
Along with testimony from the whistleblower and the undercover interview of Gennai, the report cites leaked internal documents involving how Google &#8220;defines and prioritizes content from different news publishers and how its products feature that content&#8221;:
<blockquote>
One document, called the &#8220;Fake News-letter&#8221; explains Google&#8217;s goal to have a &#8220;single point of truth&#8221; across their products. Another document received by Project Veritas explains the &#8220;News Ecosystem&#8221; which mentions &#8220;editorial guidelines&#8221; that appear to be determined and administered internally by Google. These guidelines control how content is distributed and displayed on their site.
</blockquote>
&#8220;These new documents, supported by undercover video, raise questions of Google&#8217;s neutrality and the role they see themselves fulfilling in the 2020 elections,&#8221; said James O&#8217;Keefe.

UPDATE: In a <a href="https://medium.com/@gennai.jen/this-is-not-how-i-expected-monday-to-go-e92771c7aa82">blog post</a> on Medium, Gennai responded to the Project Veritas video. &#8220;In late May, I accepted an invitation to meet with a few people who claimed to be from &#8216;2 Step Tech Solutions.&#8217; They said they wanted to chat to me about a mentoring program for young women of color in tech, an area I&#8217;ve long been passionate about. We went for dinner at a restaurant in the Mission, San Francisco,&#8221; she writes. &#8220;Unfortunately, I now know that these people lied about their true identities, filmed me without my consent, selectively edited and spliced the video to distort my words and the actions of my employer, and published it widely online. I now know they belong to a group called &#8216;Project Veritas&#8217;, which has done this to numerous other people working in the tech and other sectors.&#8221;
&#8220;Why did they do this to me? It seems they found that I had spoken publicly at Google I/O on Ethics, and they wanted someone who would give them juicy soundbites about tech&#8217;s alleged bias against conservatives. Over the course of a two hour dinner, I guess they think I delivered,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;Project Veritas has edited the video to make it seem that I am a powerful executive who was confirming that Google is working to alter the 2020 election.

A new report by <a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/11/tech-insider-blows-whistle-on-how-pinterest-listed-top-pro-life-site-as-porn-bible-verses-censored/">Project Veritas</a> presents a series of accusations of political and ideological bias against conservatives, Christians, and pro-lifers behind the scenes at Pinterest, a social media platform with some 300 million active monthly users. Since the report was first released, Pinterest has taken action concerning one of the allegations.
In a video that includes testimony from a whistleblower who works for Pinterest, and whose identity is concealed in the video, Project Veritas&#8217; James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s presents internal documents provided by the whistleblower showing what appear to be various means of censoring content, including a &#8220;porn site block list&#8221; that includes pro-life site LiveAction.org. Among the conservatives whose content has been censored by the site is Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro and some content produced by conservative outlets, including PJ Media.
&#8220;Project Veritas has received and published documents from an insider at Pinterest,&#8221; Project Veritas reported Monday. &#8220;The documents, which include product code, Slack messages, and internal policies, reveal terms and websites that Pinterest apparently censors.&#8221;
Among the claims presented by the whistleblower is that Shapiro was censored in a &#8220;zero tolerance moment,&#8221; terms related to Christianity are blocked from auto-complete, a video series exposing Planned Parenthood was included in a censor list as a &#8220;harmful&#8221; &#8220;conspiracy,&#8221; and LiveAction.org was included on a list of porn sites blocked by the platform, meaning no links to its content could be produced by users.
The video shows a screenshot from one of Pinterest&#8217;s internal Slack channels on which the Public Policy and Social Impact Manager instructs employees &#8220;to monitor the platform for &#8216;white supremacist&#8217; content from individuals like conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens,&#8221; Project Veritas reports. Three days after that message, &#8220;ben shapiro muslim&#8221; and &#8220;ben shapiro islam&#8221; were added to a &#8220;Sensitive Terms List,&#8221; a list shown in the video.
The whistleblower also discusses ways in which Pinterest allegedly quietly censors or &#8220;hides&#8221; content, including by &#8220;silent removing,&#8221; which is the removal of content without notifying the user. The intent of this practice is to hide problematic or &#8220;harmful&#8221; material, including pornographic content, but the report suggests that the function can be used to censor content for political or ideological reasons. Among the content deemed &#8220;harmful&#8221; and conspiratorial are reports by David Daleiden on Planned Parenthood&#8217;s disturbing practices.
Since the report was initially published, O&#8217;Keefe says, Pinterest appears to have taken LiveAction.org off its porn list but has &#8220;permanently suspended&#8221; its account.
Asked why he&#8217;s come forward, the whistleblower told O&#8217;Keefe, &#8220;I think when public policies don&#8217;t match with how social media companies are actually implementing them, people have a right to know, people have a right to that transparency.&#8221;

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released a second undercover sting video on Tuesday from a polling station in New Jersey that appears to show poll workers encouraging people to vote a certain way.
At one point in the video, poll worker Corrine Haynes appears to suggest to Project Veritas&#8217; undercover journalist that she should vote in a certain way for a ballot measure pertaining to whether school officials are appointed or elected.
&#8220;So, at the end of the vote, it&#8217;s what school type you want,&#8221; Haynes said. &#8220;Type 1 is appointed. Type 2 is elected. Elected, of course, because this is a democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;We have elected and we want elected,&#8221; Haynes continued. &#8220;Elected is good. Type 2 at the bottom.&#8221;
When the journalist later seeks to clarify Haynes&#8217; comments, Haynes replied: &#8220;We want democracy. That&#8217;s what Democracy look like. Elected.&#8221;
Haynes later appeared to suggest that it was &#8220;absolutely&#8221; better if the undercover journalist voted for Democratic Senator Bob Menendez over Republican challenger Bob Hugin.
Another poll worker, Tyrese Wicker, told the undercover journalist that Menendez was &#8220;better&#8221; than his opponent.

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Project Veritas released an undercover sting video on Tuesday from a polling station in Texas that appears to show an election official saying that they&#8217;ve had &#8216;tons&#8217; of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients voting in the election.
Project Veritas&#8217; undercover journalist, posing as the girlfriend of a potential DACA voter, visited a polling station in Travis County, Texas to ask election officials if he could vote.
&#8220;If he has his ID that&#8217;s all he needs. If he&#8217;s registered,&#8221; an election worker told the undercover journalist.
&#8220;Right. It doesn&#8217;t matter that he&#8217;s not a citizen?&#8221; the PV journalist replied, adding that she had heard on the internet that he could not vote.
&#8220;No, Don&#8217;t pay any attention to that. Bring him up here,&#8221; the official said.
Another woman, who appeared to be an election official, said that there was not an issue with DACA recipients voting, saying, &#8220;we got a lot of &#8217;em.&#8221;&#8203;
&#8220;You&#8217;ve got a lot of them?&#8221; the journalist asked.
&#8220;Mmhmm,&#8221; the woman replied. &#8220;From early voter. We&#8217;ve got tons of them. Tons of DACA voters. Okay.&#8221;

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s <a href="https://www.projectveritasaction.com/2018/10/23/heitkamp/">Project Veritas</a> released a new undercover video on Tuesday night showing vulnerable Sen. Heidi Heitkamp&#8217;s (D-ND) campaign staff exposing her as being a far-left candidate while she has tried to portray herself as being centrist, saying, &#8220;when she gets elected she&#8217;s going to be super liberal.&#8221;
Jesse Overton, Hietkamp&#8217;s Digital Director, described a bait and switch type of campaigning that Heitkamp is imploring, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s an election year for her. She&#8217;s being careful about pissing people off, and it&#8217;s funny, she said basically like, after the election, if and when she gets re-elected, she&#8217;s going to be super liberal.&#8221;
When one of Project Veritas&#8217; undercover journalists visited Heitkamp&#8217;s Fargo, North Dakota campaign office, staffers admitted they take down posters of former President Barack Obama when the media is present because they want Heitkamp to appear as more moderate than she really is.
Another staffer who works for Heitkamp&#8217;s Senate office, Prescott Robinson, said that if she wins by a large enough margin, then she will start being more progressive, adding that if other Democrats around the country started moving further left that &#8220;she would move to the left.&#8221;

‘She’s Going To Be Super Liberal’: Heitkamp’s Staff Expose Her In Undercover Sting Video

Heidi Heitkamp

James O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s <a href="https://www.projectveritasaction.com/2018/10/15/mccaskill-1/">Project Veritas</a> released a new undercover video Monday night showing Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and her staffers expressing support for radical gun control measures that they admit she can&#8217;t state publicly.
The video shows McCaskill and her staff admitting that she supports banning semi-automatic weapons, bump stocks, high-capacity magazines, along with supporting other far-left policies.
Rob Mills, who works on McCaskill&#8217;s campaign, says in the video that McCaskill can&#8217;t be open about her policies because &#8220;she has a bunch of Republican voters&#8221; and &#8220;that could hurt her ability to get elected.&#8221;
Nicolas Starost, who also works McCaskill&#8217;s campaign, says in the video that former President Barack Obama isn&#8217;t campaigning for McCaskill because she doesn&#8217;t want to be cast as too far-left, even though she believes in the same policies that Obama does.
&#8220;Because of how like, cause he&#8217;s a very liberal candidate,&#8221; Starost says. &#8220;And like&#8230; Claire distancing herself from the party is gonna help her win more votes than it will saying like: &#8216;Oh here&#8217;s Obama, the former President of the United States, to now speak on my behalf.&#8217; Which is unfortunate because I love Obama to pieces, and I&#8217;d love to see him come here.&#8221;
&#8220;And they essentially have the same views on everything?&#8221; the Project Veritas journalist asks.
&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Starost responds. &#8220;People just can&#8217;t know that.&#8221;
