News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Aug. 17, 2018: There is a fundamental issue we must all face but ….
most of all, the likes of GOOGLE and Facebook and their ILK.
When is the last time you read the word ILK?
It is a nasty sounding word that fits “perfectly” here.
I threw away – (or possibly postponed) – my intended draft for this week’s episode about the opioid CRIMINALS in our midst among the “best”(sic) companies in America and around the world when …
Along comes the story today about Google agreeing to do business in China by producing a Chinese search engine that will include powerful CENSOR tools that conforms to the world’s most DANGEROUS Dictator Xi of China and all the many GOONS who worship and work for him.
Time to use that phrase again you often see here in Trump’s America this episode in Google’s “honor” … SHAME ON GOOGLE!
Before I go further I need to establish some “ground rules” to make sure none of my many readers mis-interpret me – with the likes of Fox News and CNN – who make business of mis-representing.
1) This is NOT about doing business in China generally
2) This is NOT just about China
3) This is about American and other companies that specifically have products and software and platforms that REPRESSIVE regimes will use to suppress and abuse and control their own citizens.
So Elon Musk selling cars in China or Tim Cook selling iPhones in China or Boeing selling airplanes in China as examples are not in this category. UNLESS they specifically agree to assist the Chinese regime in its repression of its own citizens. Their products are not specific tools of repression the way various other products and services are.
EVERYONE needs to take a stand – individuals, companies, organizations. You do you NOT support governments in providing technology and products and expertise to the kind of regimes noted above.
Don’t give me the BS which is a standard technique since the beginning of time, that you can’t define what is and is not a repressive regime based on the “concept” that since there are NO perfect individuals, companies, organizations, or governments, everyone and everything is equally bad. That is of course what the dangerous goon Xi and the many like him around the world want us to believe and ….
In fact, it has always working to an extent but thankfully not completely.
That ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys is NIHILISM impure and simple that leads us to nothing but DEAD ends which brings us back to Google, this week’s poster monster who we all should CONDEMN for their decision to do business with XI on his sinister terms, as over a thousand Google employees have protested this week.
This new example is just one, be it very, very notable and dangerous, of a long list of companies and individuals who have just one immoral imperative to make as much PROFIT as they can however they can.
Google has resisted that pernicious “philosophy” (sic) until now and they have not suffered at all needless to say as one of the largest and most profitable companies in human history but NOW…
UNBRIDLED GREED has taken over at Google.
That is why this is so dangerous when a company as huge as Google is and known and used by the vast majority of humans and that is already making tens of billions $$ in profits each year and with ever more growth in the future guaranteed as the monopoly search engine and ….
Are you ready for this Google’s official slogan?
DO NO EVIL is about to do business with one of the evilest regimes on Earth on the evil regime’s terms, which will tremendously improve their ability to even more control, and manipulate their own citizens!
GEORGE ORWELL, DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? Answer YES, he does!
If this deal takes place for Google to build a “special” search engine under the control of Xi, that will eliminate any and all search results Xi and his goons do not want the Chinese people to see – this will be a POWERFUL “victory” for repression that will embolden and strength not only Xi and his goons but those like him worldwide. There are plenty.
I am doing my part to STOP this deal with this episode. What is President Donald Trump doing? What is Former President Obama doing?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP THIS DEAL?
(This entire series is dedicated in honor of the late Liu Xiaobo)
