Big Tech Caught Suppressing Search Results, Other Information About Trump Assassination Attempt

On Sunday, several Big Tech companies faced intense backlash after it appeared that they were suppressing search results related to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Now, they’re facing accusations of election interference, and even a Senate investigation.

Google users began noticing that the search engine’s Autocomplete function was omitting results related to the assassination attempt against Trump. Social media users began to spread similar images online, and soon, members of government, as well as Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, had picked up examples of their own. 

Trump’s assassination attempt was nowhere to be seen, even when users searched “the assassination attempt of” in the Google search bar.

The New York Post tested the theory themselves, using the last names of U.S. presidents who were assassinated or faced attempted assassination, followed by the letters “assassi” to see what autocomplete suggested. While each of these were given helpful, related results, Trump’s assassination attempt was nowhere to be found when typed in.

Media rewrites history, claims Kamala was never Biden’s “border czar” in charge of migrant problem

As the powers that be (TPTB) position themselves to install Kamala Harris as the next puppet “president” of the United States, the corporate media is doing its part to rewrite history in Kamala’s favor.

All that talk about Kamala being Joe Biden’s “border czar” is out the window now that most Americans can clearly see that America’s southern border was left wide open so tens of millions of illegals could flood in, allowing Democrats to register many of them to vote for her.

The Associated Press (AP) reported on March 24, 2021, that Biden had “tapped” Kamala to lead his response to the “border challenges.” Around that time, Kamala quickly gained a reputation as Biden’s “border czar,” which was common knowledge.

Fast-forward to July of 2024 and TIME is reporting that Kamala “was never Biden’s ‘border czar.'” They apparently hope Americans will simply forget the past and follow the new narrative that Kamala is the best person to lead the United States.

GovTrack and Media Deletion of Harris’ Record Sparks Transparency Debates, Allegations of Censorship

GovTrack, a group famed for its thorough documentation of US congressional voting habits has purged a 2019 report that recognized Vice President Kamala Harris as the “most liberal” senator of that year.

However, this comes as a surprise as the site, which categorizes itself as a beacon of governmental “transparency,” did in fact give Harris the label in 2019. It put her above even Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren during that period, a talking point favored by Republicans and one that President Donald Trump has recently used as a form of pejorative against Harris.

The website now displays a “Page Not Found” message whenever the link is accessed. Moreover, the Internet Archive illustrates that the webpage was yanked down sometime this month, the same month that Harris gained enough delegates to become the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee after President Joe Biden’s announcement on July 21 of pulling the plug on his campaign and endorsing Harris.

Inside the plot to gaslight Americans about Kamala and re-write her story… and it starts with insisting she was never ‘Border Czar’ or the ‘most liberal’ Senator 

Vice President Kamala Harris and her team plan to refute that she was ever in charge of the migration crisis at the southern border.

It comes as Republicans are set to make Harris’ role as Joe Biden‘s ‘border czar’ one of their main points of attack in her battle for the White House with Donald Trump.

As Democratic strategists try to reinvent Harris’ record for the campaign a government transparency organization also deleted a webpage which had declared her the most liberal Democrat in the Senate .

Immigration and the border was Harris’ first big task as vice president and House Republicans on Thursday passed a resolution condemning her leadership on the issue.

In March 2021, President Joe Biden and his administration were already struggling with an escalating immigration crisis.

Migrants were pouring across the southern border, detention centers filled up with unaccompanied minors, and stories about ‘kids in cages’ began filtering into the public consciousness.

Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary at the time, repeatedly insisted that it was ‘not a crisis’. 

Republicans hammered Biden’s lack of enforcement, demanding that the president take the issue seriously and visit the border.

The White House felt it necessary to do something, some kind of sign to the public and the media that the president was tackling the problem.

To stave off criticism Team Biden offered up Vice President Kamala Harris as the solution.

The president and vice president stood together in the State Dining Room of the White House as Biden announced his intention to put Harris in charge of the migrant crisis.

Her chief goal, Biden stated, was to lead the diplomatic effort with Mexico and Central American countries to address the ‘root causes’ of migration.

‘I can think of nobody who — who is better qualified to do this,’ Biden said, citing Harris’ record as a California Attorney General.

It was not an unfamiliar task, Biden noted, recalling that as vice president, he had stepped up for President Barack Obama to work with leaders to stem migration on the southern border.

JD Vance sex slur is deleted by AP after wire agency decided to ‘fact-check’ lurid claim about GOP VP pick’s sexual preferences

The Associated Press has deleted an article where they fact-checked a wild sex claim about Donald Trump‘s VP choice JD Vance.

The wire agency sparked backlash after it published a piece on the Ohio senator Wednesday that was titled, ‘No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.’ 

However, by the next day, the AP had removed the article from its archives, with the page address showing it is now unavailable.

A spokesperson for the AP told DailyMail.com on Thursday that the fact-check on Vance did not go through the standard editing process.

The agency said it’s looking into how it was published.

The now-deleted article came after memes began circulating on social media repeating a false rumor that claimed Vance, 39, wrote about having sex with a couch on his best-selling book Hillbilly Elegy.

High-profile names such as comedienne Kathy Griffin appeared to fall for the fake news, writing: ‘I don’t think we should have a couchf***er as our vice president. That’s just me. Sorry JD.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Associated Press for comment on this story. 

The false information reportedly began circulating on X after the now-private account @rickrudescalves wrote: ‘Can’t say for sure but he might be the first VP pick to have admitted in a NY Times bestseller to f***ing an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions.’

GOOGLE PLANNED TO SPONSOR IDF CONFERENCE THAT NOW DENIES GOOGLE WAS SPONSOR

THE “IT FOR IDF” conference in Rishon LeZion, just south of Tel Aviv, brought together tech firms from across the world to support the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza and beyond.

Many of the assembled companies are not household names in the United States, but several multinational firms — like Nokia, Dell, and Canon — were present at July 10 event.

The mission they had gathered to support was clear. Onstage, a brigadier general with the Israeli military gave a presentation that connected the Nakba, the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, the 2006 invasion of Lebanon, the current war on Gaza, and more wars in the decades to come. His call to action splashed across the big screen: “Each generation and its own turn — this is our watch!”

One company, however, was conspicuously absent: Google.

BEFORE AND AFTER: Watch the Media’s Total About Face on Kamala Harris as Biden’s ‘Border Czar’

The liberal news outlet Axios got caught red-handed today, trying to whitewash their own reporting on Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s ‘border czar’ but they are far from alone.

The entire liberal media establishment is furiously scrubbing their own reportage on this issue to hide the truth from the American people.

The reason they’re doing this is so obvious. The border and illegal immigration has become a top issue for voters, so it’s a vulnerability for Harris.

NewsBusters has done an outstanding job of calling out the media on this:

In June of 2021, CNN senior national correspondent Ed Lavandera repeated the framing of Harris as border czar: “The Vice President is expected to in El Paso in about an hour and a half… and this will be her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border region since she was appointed as the border czar by President Biden.”

Journalists were using this same language as recently as last week. During the ABC News Live coverage of the RNC, anchor Kanya Whitworth remarked that the speakers “were very critical of Kamala Harris, especially in her role as border czar.”

Politico’s whining about the border czar label dates back to when Harris was appointed border czar. In fresher gripes about Republicans from over the weekend, they reported: “Despite insisting that she not be made the face of the administration’s border policies, Harris was tasked with stemming migration from Central American countries. That prompted GOP attacks on her as ‘border czar,’ a narrative the White House did little to combat.” Along with: “During the Republican convention last week, many speakers labeled Harris as the “border czar,” since Biden appointed her to take the lead on working with Central America to deter migration at the southern border.”

Axios Accuses GOP of Fabricating Kamala Harris ‘Border Czar’ Title — 3 Years After Reporting Biden Made Her Border Czar!

Axios asserted that Republicans and the Trump campaign have falsely labeled Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s “border czar” — despite the fact they themselves reported three years ago that Biden appointed her as his border czar.

Axios’ “immigration guru” Stef Kight wrote on Wednesday that, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title — which she never actually had.”

“In early 2021, President Biden enlisted Vice President Kamala Harris to help with a slice of the migration issue — a move that has turned into one of the newly-presumptive presidential nominee’s first campaign headaches,” wrote Kight.

“Confusion around the VP’s exact role, early media misfires and the rapidly changing regional migration crisis has made the issue a top target for the GOP trying to define their new opponent.”

Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead

Google will no longer be keeping a backup of the entire Internet. Google Search’s “cached” links have long been an alternative way to load a website that was down or had changed, but now the company is killing them off. Google “Search Liaison” Danny Sullivan confirmed the feature removal in an X post, saying the feature “was meant for helping people access pages when way back, you often couldn’t depend on a page loading. These days, things have greatly improved. So, it was decided to retire it.”

The feature has been appearing and disappearing for some people since December, and currently, we don’t see any cache links in Google Search. For now, you can still build your own cache links even without the button, just by going to “https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:” plus a website URL, or by typing “cache:” plus a URL into Google Search. For now, the cached version of Ars Technica seems to still work. All of Google’s support pages about cached sites have been taken down.

Cached links used to live under the drop-down menu next to every search result on Google’s page. As the Google web crawler scoured the Internet for new and updated webpages, it would also save a copy of whatever it was seeing. That quickly led to Google having a backup of basically the entire Internet, using what was probably an uncountable number of petabytes of data. Google is in the era of cost savings now, so assuming Google can just start deleting cache data, it can probably free up a lot of resources.

DHS Subdivision Quietly Deleted Video Urging Americans To Report Covid ‘Disinformation’ From Family Members

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly removed a video instructing people to report family members for spreading “disinformation” online, according to a report by the Foundation for Freedom Online (FFO).

Earlier this year, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a DHS subdivision, deleted a video from June 2021 tutoring viewers on “countering disinformation” related to the Covid-19 pandemic and reporting their relatives to social media platforms, according to a report by the FFO, a free speech advocacy group. FFO archived the video before CISA deleted it.

In the cartoon video, CISA depicts a woman named “Susan” looking at a post from her “Uncle Steve” claiming the Covid-19 pandemic is equivalent to the flu. The video criticizes the fictitious post and then advises Americans to look to public health authorities for guidance.

CISA presents another hypothetical post from “Uncle Steve” containing “fake news” misrepresenting government data. The government agency advises Americans to reply to their uncle and then “report” his post to the social media platform he is using, which appears to resemble Facebook.

CISA deleted the video between April 9 and May 9, 2023, internet archives show. The CISA video is also watchable on internet archives.
