LEAKED
VIDEO: Google Leadership Dismayed Reaction to Trump Election
A
video recorded by Google shortly after the 2016 presidential election
reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the tech giant’s
leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump agenda
and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.
The
video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands meeting following
the 2016 election (these weekly meetings are known inside the company as
“TGIF” or “Thank God It’s Friday” meetings). Sent to Breitbart News by
an anonymous source, it features co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin,
VPs Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat, and CEO Sundar
Pichai. It can be watched in full above. It can and should be watched in
full above in order to get the full context of the meeting and the
statements made.
It
was reported earlier
this week that Google tried to boost turnout among the Latino population
to help Hillary Clinton, only to be dismayed as the usually solid
Democratic voting bloc switched to the GOP in record numbers. This video
shows a similar level of dismay among Google’s most high-profile
figures.
These
individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over
the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of
Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the
Trump agenda.
Co-founder
Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump supporters to fascists and
extremists. Brin argues that like other extremists, Trump voters were
motivated by “boredom,” which he says in the past led to fascism and
communism.
The
Google co-founder then asks his company to consider what it can do to
ensure a “better quality of governance and decision-making.”
VP
for Global Affairs Kent Walker argues that supporters of populist causes
like the Trump campaign are motivated by “fear, xenophobia, hatred, and
a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”
Later,
Walker says that Google should fight to ensure the populist movement –
not just in the U.S. but around the world – is merely a “blip” and a
“hiccup” in a historical arc that “bends toward progress.”
CEO
Sundar Pichai states that the company will develop machine learning and
A.I. to combat what an employee described as “misinformation” shared by
“low-information voters.”
Key
moments from the video can be found at the following timestamps:
- (00:00:00
– 00:01:12) Google co-founder Sergey Brin states that the weekly
meeting is “probably not the most joyous we’ve had” and that “most
people here are pretty upset and pretty sad.”
- (00:00:24)
Brin contrasts the disappointment of Trump’s election with his
excitement at the legalization of cannabis in California, triggering
laughs and applause from the audience of Google employees.
- (00:01:12)
Returning to seriousness, Brin says he is “deeply offen[ded]” by the
election of Trump, and that the election “conflicts with many of
[Google’s] values.”
- (00:09:10)
Trying to explain the motivations of Trump supporters, Senior VP for
Global Affairs, Kent Walker concludes: “fear, not just in the United
States, but around the world is fueling concerns, xenophobia, hatred,
and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”
- (00:09:35)
Walker goes on to describe the Trump phenomenon as a sign of
“tribalism that’s self-destructive [in] the long-term.”
- (00:09:55)
Striking an optimistic tone, Walker assures Google employees that
despite the election, “history is on our side” and that the “moral arc
of history bends towards progress.”
- (00:10:45)
Walker approvingly quotes former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s
comparison between “the world of the wall” with its “isolation and
defensiveness” and the “world of the square, the piazza, the
marketplace, where people come together into a community and enrich
each other’s lives.”
- (00:13:10)
CFO Ruth Porat appears to break down in tears when discussing the
election result.
- (00:15:20)
Porat promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources
and reach we have to continue to advance really important values.”
- (00:16:50)
Stating “we all need a hug,” she then instructs the audience of Google
employees to hug the person closest to them.
- (00:20:24)
Eileen Noughton, VP of People Operations, promises that Google’s
policy team in DC is “all over” the immigration issue and that the
company will “keep a close watch on it.”
- (00:21:26)
Noughton jokes about Google employees asking, ‘Can I move to Canada?’
after the election. She goes on to seriously discuss the options
available to Google employees who wish to leave the country.
- (00:23:12)
Noughton does acknowledge “diversity of opinion and political
persuasion” and notes that she has heard from conservative Google
employees who say they “haven’t felt entirely comfortable revealing
who [they] are.” and urged “tolerance.” (Several months later, the
company would fire James Damore allegedly for disagreeing with
progressive narratives.)
- (00:27:00)
Responding to a question about “filter bubbles,” Sundar Pichai
promises to work towards “correcting” Google’s role in them
- (00:27:30)
Sergey Brin praises an audience member’s suggestion of increasing
matched Google employee donations to progressive groups.
- (00:34:40)
Brin compares Trump voters to “extremists,” arguing for a correlation
between the economic background of Trump supporters and the kinds of
voters who back extremist movements. Brin says that “voting is not a
rational act” and that not all of Trump’s support can be attributed to
“income disparity.” He suggests that Trump voters might have been
motivated by boredom rather than legitimate concerns.
- (00:49:10)
An employee asks if Google is willing to “invest in grassroots,
hyper-local efforts to bring tools and services and understanding of
Google products and knowledge” so that people can “make informed
decisions that are best for themselves.” Pichai’s response: Google
will ensure its “educational products” reach “segments of the
population [they] are not [currently] fully reaching.”
- (00:54:33)
An employee asks what Google is going to do about “misinformation” and
“fake news” shared by “low-information voters.” Pichai responds by
stating that “investments in machine learning and AI” are a “big
opportunity” to fix the problem.
- (00:56:12)
Responding to an audience member, Walker says Google must ensure the
rise of populism doesn’t turn into “a world war or something
catastrophic … and instead is a blip, a hiccup.”
- (00:58:22)
Brin compares Trump voters to supporters of fascism and communism,
linking the former movement to “boredom,” which Brin previously linked
to Trump voters. “It sort of sneaks up sometimes, really bad things”
says Brin.
- (01:01:15)
A Google employee states: “speaking to white men, there’s an
opportunity for you right now to understand your privilege” and urges
employees to “go through the bias-busting training, read about
privilege, read about the real history of oppression in our country.”
He urges employees to “discuss the issues you are passionate about
during Thanksgiving dinner and don’t back down and laugh it off when
you hear the voice of oppression speak through metaphors.” Every
executive on stage – the CEO, CFO, two VPs and the two Co-founders –
applaud the employee.
- (01:01:57)
An audience member asks if the executives see “anything positive from
this election result.” The audience of Google employees, and the
executives on stage, burst into laughter. “Boy, that’s a really tough
one right now” says Brin.
Update
— After Breitbart News published this
article, a Google spokesperson replied to a request for comment with the
following statement:
“At
a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, some Google employees and
executives expressed their own personal views in the aftermath of a
long and divisive election season. For over 20 years, everyone at
Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these
meetings. Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to
suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or
operate our products. To the contrary, our products are built for
everyone, and we design them with extraordinary care to be a
trustworthy source of information for everyone, without regard to
political viewpoint.”

WHAT HAS GOOGLE (ALPHABET, YOUTUBE, IN-QTEL, CALICO and the hundreds of
Google facades) DONE WRONG?
"...Google is a criminal organization that bribes politicians;
spies on the public for political manipulation; supports racism,
misogyny, sex deviance and prostitutes among its staff; operates cult
procedures in it's HR program; operates tax evasion and real estate
money laundering schemes; is one of the largest 'Dark Money' covert
crony campaign financiers the world; manipulates stock market and
public news information; sells fake traffic to advertisers and engages
in numerous white collar crimes..."
"...Larry Page (and his boyfriend Elon Musk), Eric Schmidt, Jared
Cohen, Sergey Brin and their venture capitalists are sick sociopaths.
They do not care what you, the FBI, Congress or any version of the law
thinks about them. They process ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A DAY
through their accounting departments. They can afford any gay sex rent
boy or dominatrix prostitute any time they want one. They can buy an
entire commercial jet on their credit card. They own almost every
senator in California. They do not care what you, or anyone on Earth
thinks about them. They only care about cash and power. They plot and
conspire to control the government, news and information in order to
keep that cash and power. They use CIA, Stasi and Masison Avenue mind
tricks to do their dirty deeds in plain sight using technologies that
no average citizen can comprehend!..."
Google has more power than the EU or the U.S. Government and,
essentially, operates as it's own monopolistic out-of-control rogue
government within domestic borders.
Issues with Google Include:
- While Facebook has consumed recent
information manipulation scandal head-lines, the illicit activities
behind Google make Facebook pale in comparison.
- Tens of thousands of news articles
and federal reports confirm that Google receives a very large sum of
assets and cash from the intelligence community monthly.
- While Google pitched the government
on Google’s ability to ‘help catch bad guys’, that is, in fact
not what Google is doing with the money. Almost every attempt to use
Google technology at the CIA, DIA and NSA has resulted in either 1.)
spectacular failure or 2.) wild goose chases.
- Google operates one of the largest
‘Pass-Along Payola’ scams ever deployed. In this scam 1.)
Taxpayer money from The Treasury is, 2.) ...Given to crony corruption
insider Google, 3.) ...Who then conduits the money, as covert campaign
funds, to the corrupt political officials who got Google the
government deals in the first place.
- The Google Pass-Along Payola
scam is endless, getting bigger and requires Congressional action to
break the chain.
- Google has paid off SEC, CFTC , FCC
and FTC officials for protection.
- There are over 100 ex-Google
employees and deeply credentialed experts who can testify to these
facts but they have been blockaded, by Google lobbyists and dirty
politicians, from public testimony.
- For example, Dr. Robert Epstein,
James Damore, Ronald Robertson, Laura Ingraham and a host of others,
have publicly offered hard facts proving the assertions herein but
they have never been interviewed by Congressional staff in an office
not under surveillance or in a live televised Congressional hearing. A
full disclosure of what these ‘over 100’ people know would put Google
out-of-business rather quickly.
- Google pitched government officials
about their ability to ‘...start and operate a political
revolution in any venue, domestic or overseas, cause members of
the public to become angry enough to kill targeted other members
of the public and create and operate these effects in an
undetectable manner using subliminal psychological manipulation
tricks amplified by Google’s control of the internet connected to
the mass population...’. This means that Google has
admitted to rigging elections and politics.
- While that service premise may
cause concern at first read, what should cause even more concern are
the dossiers and psychological profiles of Google’s Eric Schmidt,
Larry Page, Jared Cohen, and Sergy Brin. Their deeply emotional
involvement in their shared personal politics combined with their
utter disregard for the law makes one wonder about how far they will
go in their ‘means justifies the ends’ cult like devotion to ‘The
Google Process’.
- With an extremist culture, filtered
HR programs that seek 'like minded employees', a
willingness to discuss the need for "coup d-eta's, an endless supply
of government cash and an ownership bent on total political control of
their singular ideology, should this not cause concern?'
- Google used these tactics and
technologies to place Barack Obama in the White House. That is why the
Obama White House was so deeply staffed by Google employees and
executives. Senior FBI and CIA officials, like Comey and Brennan, knew
of this and covered it up.
- If you look on PACER.GOV you will
see that Google has an extraordinary number of lawsuits filed against
it for stealing the technology of others. Many of these lawsuits refer
to Google as a racketeering "cartel'. Google has no concern for the
law, business ethics or the rights of others. The Google cartel owns
hundreds of front operations disguised under different high tech
names.
- 90% of the employees at Google are
oblivious to, and hidden from, the machinations of Google’s owners.
They are solicited by the cult of Google with free food, ‘coolness’,
gadgets and a programmed echo-chamber cult-like HR process which
requires ‘mindfulness training’ and ‘Community organizing’ outreach.
Google is more Rajneesh and Scientology than they are science. The DOJ
Cult Intervention Team should be deeply examining the abuse of young
Millennial Google employees
- The most critically important point
and the key take-away here is this: Google bosses have built a
system to subliminally control the impressions of the public, spy on
the public for political control and operate a self-sustaining
government payola scam and they do this with impunity, zero
monitoring and in one of the grossest violations of morality and
human rights ever conceived.
- The next most critical take-away
here is: If you are an average person, it is technically nearly
impossible for you to comprehend or notice what the crimes are that
Google is doing. That is the magic of their scheme.

On the topic of privacy, Dr. Robert Epstein has produced
research that shows that Internet users are divulging nearly
40 percent more personal information online than they would if
knew more about how that information might be used. He and
collaborator Ronald Robertson have found that the typical
"Terms of Service" (TOS) warning has no impact on behavior and
therefore is useless as a warning. Adding a requirement that
people click to acknowledge the TOS message creates a
deterrent effect; adding a strong, explicit warning to the TOS
message increases the effectiveness of the deterrent.
Regarding elections,
Epstein and Robertson have found in multiple studies that
search rankings that favor a political candidate drive the
votes of undecided voters toward that candidate, an effect
they call SEME ("seem"),
the Search
Engine
Manipulation Effect.
As a result, Dr. Epstein has called for the regulation and
monitoring of search engines. Without equal-time rules of
the sort that protect political candidates in other media
domains, he says, biased search rankings exercise undue
influence over voter's opinions - influence that cannot be
counteracted by individual candidates but that can easily
determine who will win a close election.
Epstein and Robertson's la
ndmark report about SEME,
published in the Proceedings
of
the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
in
2015, can be downloaded here.
As of January 2018, it had been downloaded more than 90,000
times from PNAS's website and was ranked by PNAS to be in
the top 1 percent of all reports the organization monitored
in all the sciences.

Dr. Epstein also recently
discovered a simple yet powerful way that search suggestions can
be
used to shift opinions and votes, an effect he calls
the Search
Suggestion
Effect (SSE).

aspects of the operations and business model of Google,
