... a nefarious assault by left-wing technocrats ...

Left-wing technocrats have begun a nefarious assault on the First and FourthAmendment rights of conservative and right-wing media outlets. In truly cowardly fashion, socialist technocrats are now using divide and conquer methods to single out, and then gang up and try to destroy anyone or any website they disagree with. This is accomplished by essentially pulling the plug on targeted Internet content and potentially prioritizing news search content supporting the narrative in the news cycle that the leftists favor in their sole discretion. Of course all of this is certainly plausible given the political leanings of the people who run and, for the most part, work at Google.

Take, for, example, Natural News, which was recently delisted from the Google News index.

The website bills itself as a science-based natural health advocacy organization led by activist-turned-scientist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.

The key mission of Natural News is to empower consumers with factual information about the synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, hormone disruptors and other chemicals found in foods, medicines, personal care products, childrens toys and other items.

Google techies have sought cover for delisting Adams popular website by alleging Natural Newsutilized a mobile application that was not approved. Their action essentially removed public access from thousands of pages of information and opinion via the Internet. Adams has complained that his site was delisted without any warning, and if true, this could be determined to be a violation of civil law and tortious business interference, and a violation of his FourthAmendment rights.

Google, in what might seem as a plausible basis and defense for itsunilateral action, might seek to claim it hadsome form of user agreement in place with Adams and his enterprise. However, no agreement thatpurports to usurp the constitutional rights of any American is valid. In America, the last time I checked, nobody (including Google) can separate a citizen from his or herconstitutional rights via any contract or agreement, and any such agreement or contract determined to bedoing so shouldbe struck down in part or in its entirety by the courts.

Google initiated the assault on Natural News, which is extremely concerning given that millions of online articles and Facebook and Twitter posts also use links shortened with a Google technology that is also monitored and controlled by the company. And this could allow Google, in its sole discretion, to disable any such shortened links, or possibly worse, redirect those links to data that conflict with any published article, as opposed to supporting the article as intended by its author. This is a very serious concern for all media outlets regardless of political sway, since this same technique could be used at any time by anyone or group against any position or opinion expressed in any article on any website.

As an opinion writer and architect of one of the Internets first complex algorithms used for online greeting cards, I understand the ramifications of Googles actions, which must be immediately called into question by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Added to the ploy of delisting the pages of any site that Google, in its sole discretion, deems to violate rules italleges as cover for itsactions in this case, Google may have further modified its News search algorithm to give priority to leftist and Democratic-supporting websites and articles. The search algorithm mighthave not only delisted Natural News pages, but also integrated select meta data terms related to negativity toward the site, resulting in a News search result that is top-heavy with attacks on Adams and Natural News.

In fact, as I searched Google News for information about the delisting of Natural News, the top stories that appeared in the search results were all from leftist websites who condemned Adams and the content on Natural News. The search result seemed to have stacked all of the anti-Adams stories on top, a programming trick that can also be time-enabled for a day to two and then suddenly disappear once the news cycle has been dominated (tainted) with the desired narrative, in this case, berating and disparaging Adams and Natural News. Regardless of what his opinions are, and whether or not anyone agrees with him or not, nobody has the right to muzzle his FirstAmendment rights, especially not Google.

Some articles I found using Google News search were going as far as to allege that Natural News and Mike Adams made claims for medical treatments and cures that were false, as well as posing many different conspiracy theories. That said, Adams has like most other websites that offer medical opinions (WebMD, etc.), conspiracy theories, far-ranging religious beliefs, etc. a disclaimer on his pages thatcovers the statements and or claims and opinions that are expressed at his site:

The information on this site is provided for educational and entertainment purposes only. It is not intended as a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

This seemingly prioritized attack by many leftist bloggers seems cooperatively timed and executed with Googles claim that Natural News employed some sort of illicit mobile application.

Any company such as Google, operating on a public domain (the Internet), should not be allowed to unilaterally and arbitrarily interfere with any other private enterprise operating over the Internet without public oversight. That power should reside only with the oversight of an independent publicly governed watchdog, as we have with the Federal Communications Commission and the Consumer Protection Agency, not Google, Facebook or Twitter.

What we see with this action against Natural News by Google is little more than a plausible scheme to effectively shut down, without any due process under the FourthAmendment, the livelihood of a mans business and an information/entertainment portal that his millions of readers seem to enjoy, even if some of the opinions and claims are questionable to others.

Google should be taken to task immediately by the attorney general and brought into question as to its action, which sets a very dangerous precedent for the First and FourthAmendment rights of citizens operating websites on the Internet, at least in America.
