Michael Yon: A Google Insider, Who I'm Calling a "Google Snowden," Is Set to Reveal The Extent of China's Penetration of Google, and Google's Algorithmic Interventions to Convince America That Patriotism Towards The United States is Racist and Evil

Well that got my attention.

Achtung! Pay attention: tonight I talked for about an hour with a "Google Snowden" who will soon go public. A deep insider.

Fascinating stuff. I cannot say much now other than pay attention to what is coming out starting in a week or so from now.

Source said many interesting things about how Chinese are flooding into tech companies like Google, and some of the incredible techniques they can use to brainwash or at least mislead millions of people.

Take this as an example that I am making up based on our conversation. Again, I am making this up but it is based on our conversation:

A politician tweets saying we must protect our national interests.

Google, or whoever, immediately promotes all stories that translates, "must protect our national interests," to "nationalism," and then in almost real time rewrites the meaning of "nationalism" to include traits such as xenophobic, racist, and references Nazis as nationalists.

This happens so quickly and so comprehensively that most people never will notice that in the 30 seconds the curtain was closed, Google (or whoever) rewrote part of the dictionary, and history.

To state this more clearly: they can basically rewrite what you say, write, sing, wear, or hand gesture -- name it -- and they can rewrite that faster than we can make popcorn.

They can do this anonymously saying the algorithm is doing it when in reality they write the rules that make the rules.

I stole most of that, so give it a click.

Via Instapundit.

Sorry for this hit-and-run stuff, I'm writing that Pitch Meeting. Won't be ready tonight. Too much, too jumbled. It's also too long and so I'll have to take a look at cutting some stuff. I want it to be nice and TIGHT.

What's This Mean?

55 >>>I'm having trouble with the practical application of this here. Are they altering the text? If you search for someone's comment, is the implication that a misrepresentation of that comment is shown instead? Or that internally, the quote falls into the same bucket as Nazi quotes and offers those as follow-ups?

I don't know, to be honest. They might mean when you type in "national interest" into the search bar, it rewrites it as "xenophobia" and gives you search returns for that. And racism.

Thus anchoring in your mind that "national interest" and "racism" are synonyms.
