GOOGLE blacklists Natural News

GOOGLE blacklists Natural News… removes 140,000 pages from its index… “memory holes” Natural News investigative articles on vaccines, pharma corruption, fraudulent science and more (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-02-22-google-blacklists-natural-news-removes-140000-pages-from-its-index-memory-holes-natural-news-investigative-articles.html)

(Natural News (http://www.naturalnews.com)) Late last week, I received a direct threat that warned if I did not take steps to destroy Alex Jones and InfoWars (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-02-16-health-ranger-threatened-by-left-wing-media-goons-destroy-alex-jones-or-we-will-destroy-you.html), I would be targeted for destruction in a campaign of smears, censorship and defamation.

Instead of giving in to the enemy, I refused to take the bait and went public with details of the threat, warning everyone in the new media that sinister forces were now being pursued to undermine and silence every anti-establishment (and pro-Trump) voice on the internet.

True to form, today the entire Natural News website has been blacklisted by Google, entirely without warning. This is just one of many censorship events that have all taken place over the last few days:


Last weekend, damning videos were leaked in a focused effort to take out Milo Yiannopoulos (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-02-20-attempted-takedown-of-milo-yiannopoulos-a-timed-character-assassinate-conservative-voices.html), a former Breitbart News editor and gay conservative who has openly supported President Trump. Milo was hit with an attack wave of “opposition research” and was forced to resign from Breitbart on Monday, citing the “cynical media witch hunt” that brought him down.



Yesterday, InfoWars was blackballed by AdRoll.com (http://www.infowars.com/breaking-infowars-is-being-censored/), an online advertising distribution company. According to Alex Jones, the blacklisting by AdRoll will cost InfoWars $3 million in annual revenues, possibly causing InfoWars to abandon plans of opening a Washington D.C. bureau to cover the Trump administration with real news (instead of the fake news from CNN and elsewhere).



The Shopify e-commerce platform was aggressively threatened by organized Leftists to dump the Breitbart online store and thereby deny revenues to Breitbart. Shopify’s CEO refused to kow-tow to the intimidation and censorship (https://medium.com/@tobi/in-support-of-free-speech-275d62670203) and has maintained a “neutral” position on political issues, focusing on running e-commerce platforms for everyone.



Today, Natural News has been hit by Google, which has blacklisted the entire Natural News domain and removed over 140,000 pages from its index. The take down of Natural News happened this morning, and it follows a pattern of censorship we’re seeing being leveled against other pro-Trump websites. Google sent no warning whatsoever to our “webmaster tools” email address on file with them. The shut off of Natural News was clearly driven by a human decision, not an algorithm. We’re currently attempting to determine Google’s claimed justification for censoring our entire website, and we hope to have NaturalNews.com restored in Google’s index.

Some of the news now being censored by Google includes our laboratory testing of the U.S. water supply, where we conducted laboratory testing to discover that 6.7% of municipal water is contaminated with toxic metals (http://www.naturalnews.com/054580_heavy_metals_municipal_water_systems_independent_science.html). Google has also blacklisted our announcement of free laboratory testing services for Native American water supplies (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-01-25-health-ranger-donates-lab-testing-native-american-communities-impacted-by-keystone-and-dakota-pipelines.html) impacted by oil pipeline leaks. Also blacklisted is our exclusive coverage of the GlaxoSmithKline criminal indictmen (http://www.naturalnews.com/036499_Glaxo_whistleblower_bribery.html)t by the U.S. Justice Dept. and our interview with the whistleblower who helped achieved a record $3 billion settlement with the criminal drug company.

Apparently, Google believes the public should no longer have access to these investigative journalism articles… and 139,997 more articles that cover activism, science frauds, drug industry criminality, political corruption and more. You are witnessing a modern-day book burning by the internet Gestapo that now decides what knowledge you’re never allowed to access… especially because much of that knowledge can help set humanity free.

All Google searches that include the term "site:naturalnews.com" are coming up empty for me. These would be searches that request results only from Mike Adam's NaturalNews.com website.

This attack on NaturalNews.com is of course closely related to the attack on Alex Jones InforWars.com website, as reported here: Alex Jones angry, AdRoll Bans, Google Making Move Against Free Press censoring Infowars (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?96211-Alex-Jones-angry-AdRoll-Bans-Google-Making-Move-Against-Free-Press-censoring-Infowars).

This is perhaps the most blatant abuse of power by the CIA and its handmaiden Google that I've ever seen.

[ThePythonicCow]

My take on Google's blacklisting of NaturalNews.com from their search results is (at one level), a bit subtle.

I am, not surprisingly, pissed at Google for this abuse of their power. I am also not surprised it's happening, because power corrupts, and (near) absolute power corrupts (nearly) absolutely, to paraphrase Lord Acton's famous quote (http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/absolute-power-corrupts-absolutely.html) .

But at a more subtle level, this feels like another step towards inciting division and chaos. We're being treated rather like I imagine that fighting dogs might be treated, getting them riled up and giving them the scent of blood, before a viscious dog fight. Such tactics might be useful before an oh-dark-hundred (wee hours of the morning) raid by a team of special ops, to get the guard dogs all excited over fourteen different false alarms, so unable to raise an effective alarm of the one or few serious attacks.

The problem is that Google has eliminated Naturalnews.com from their search results.

[ThePythonicCow]

Dave Hodges posted this article about Google's blacklisting of Naturalnews.com from their search results. It has more detail and background. Breaking: Adams & Jones Taken Down by Google/CIA Prior to Big Event- Trump Needs to Beware (http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2017/02/23/breaking-adams-jones-taken-down-by-googlecia-prior-to-big-event-trump-needs-to-beware/).

Hodges article begins:

===============


The censorship of the Independent Media has begun in earnest by Jeff Bezos and Google.

On my last radio show (2/19), Mike Adams revealed that he was contacted and was told “We will pay you $50,000 to provide us with damaging information against Alex Jones. If you do not help us, we will destroy you”.

In the PM on February 22, 2017, Mike Adams reached out to me and informed me that Google’s search engines have removed all 140,000 pages of content from Natural News (www.naturalnews.com). If the reader puts Natural News in the Google search engine, it comes back as www.natural.news.com. This is Mike’s back up site which is a shell of his original site.

Given the time proximity between the attempt to blackmail Mike Adams and Google’s takedown of one of one of the biggest websites in the Independent Media, it is too suspicious to be considered to be a mere coincidence. It is clear from just the circumstantial evidence, that entities representing Google tried to blackmail Mike Adams into providing damning information about Alex Jones and then when Mike did not respond, they took him down.

In the same time frame, Alex Jones lost $3 million in Google advertising revenue which serves to validate the Mike Adams’ claim that he was indeed blackmailed in an attempt to destroy Alex Jones.

Please notice that I have chosen my words very carefully! I am not saying that Google, itself, or Bezos, himself, are DIRECTLY responsible for these actions against Jones and Adams, beyond the censorship. I said entities representing Google interests are responsible for what will follow this round of censorship. Now, this does not take Bezos off the hook as the buck stops with him. I know, you are saying Dave, get to the point.

I recently published information that showed that Google’s owner and now the owner of the Washington (com) Post had entered into a $600 million dollar deal with the CIA and indirectly with 16 other intelligence agencies. In my opinion, and in the opinion of my sources who have done business at this level, Mike Adams and Alex Jones are both victims of a CIA hit orchestrated in conjunction with Deep State and in this instance, that would be the Washington (com) Post.
Why Would the CIA and the Washington Post Target Adams and Jones?

Many will think, for example, that Adams was targeted because of his fine work in exposing the dangers associated with vaccines which is big business for many of the elite (eg Bill Gates). However, Mike has been exposing this information for years without suffering these kinds of illegal intimidation and anti-trust actions by Google. What do Alex and Mike have in common that would cause these people to act with such reckless abandon? The answer can be summed up in one word, Pizzagate.

One must consider the fact that both Alex Jones and Mike Adams have been among the leaders in exposing Pizzagate and linking this heinous criminal enterprise with very prominent people. Names are beginning to be named and no doubt, Mike Adams and Alex Jones would be among the first to strike blows in this arena by naming prominent politicians. We fully know that we are days and weeks away from these revelations. The Common Sense Show is beginning to receive names of the participants.

What has happened to Mike and Alex is damage control, a killing of the messenger. The criminal left is desperate. There is no false flag that these animals will not engage in.
Another Related Motive

In my recent interview with Mike (2/23), he suggested that this is also a silencing of the Independent Media prior to a very big event. This will likely be an event that the Deep State cannot allow any opposition to if they are to hoodwink the public.

===============

There's more, at the above link to Hodges' TheCommonSenseShow.com website.

This matches my "more subtle" take, above. Such antics as Google's blacklisting NaturalNews.com from search results, or AdRoll's cutting off ad revenue to Alex Jones InfoWars.com website, are potentially early warnings of a more serious major event. Such antics are like the smoke bombs tossed into a room, before entering with guns drawn, or like my other example above, like distracting the guard dogs with false alarms, before the real attack begins.

I had a work buddy about a year and a half ago, he was in his mid-fifties and a very honest type who had a real solid work ethic. We were talking and I went there, a few days later he opened up to me. He told me a little story about Google. He said he had a nephew who had graduated from M.I.T. back in the nineties. He said this nephew had gotten a internship with the CIA and that this turned into a job programming and such for the CIA. My buddy said his nephew didn't like what he was doing there, he put in his notice and left. He said his nephew got a job at a new start up called Google. My buddy stated that before Google was known by anyone he had one of the first beta test G-Mail accounts. My buddy went on to state that his nephew soon started noticing some of the same people he had known while working at the CIA. He brought this up to one of his co-workers of whom he had worked with previously at the CIA, only to have that employee tell him "we don't talk about that".
My point here is that Google seems to be a start up by the CIA.


On a whim I did a search and came up with this.

http://www.naturalnews.com/

Yes - Naturalnews.com is not off the air.

The problem is that Google has eliminated Naturalnews.com from their search results.

This is precisely a major part of their multifaceted program. Divide and conquer and keep divided and conquered. Create, or expand upon, more and more "wedge issues" that drive apparently irreconcilable divisions between us and splinter us into multiple directions. Being divided, they know (believe) that we will never organize into a united and common front against our common enemies. Indeed, their program(s) is so effective there is no general agreement among the people about who and what the common enemy is. And, much less agreement about what we can do to arrest and reverse the insidious processes they have in place to hasten our cultural, social, economic, moral, ethical, and political destruction; not to mention the destruction of our very lives and posterity.

They want us to be afraid to the point of inaction caused by cognitive dissonance they create in myriad ways. They want us as docile as sheep staring into the headlights of the oncoming train, unable to move and thus to prevent our impending doom. They do not care what you are afraid of, as long as you are afraid--although they do have their favorite tried and true fear invocations.

Make no mistake about it; we are at war. We have been at war with these evil forces for a very long time. But, because our awareness of this is on the rise, they have upped the ante in recent times. Things will get bad before they get worse. But, have no fear.

Now is indeed the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country. Their true country. Their people, their Republic, their democracy, their liberty and their G-d given rights to live peacefully and free from tyranny.

Another tit-bit about the news in the OP is that I first noticed the story posted on Jim Stone, didn't do much of it then and continued surfing around until that inner inertia kept rolling on about posting that story on Avalon... so I went back to Jim's site and all I could get was an archived page from January... tried a number of time and same result... insanity kind of thing, you know...

I finally used some google clones to find the original article from Mike Adams as in the OP... just to underline that "they" are watching and interfering with some sites like hawks ready to dive in!

Since then, Jim's page is back up with some juicy explanations of what happened to his site/page.

[Daughter of Time]

Google Chrome used to block Project Avalon!

It doesn't any more.

If the CIA really is involved in this, why can't Trump sack the lot of them?

Dave Hodges interviewed Mike Adams about the whole thing yesterday.

Important stuff: succinct, articulate and focused. Hodges and Adams agree that these serious, heavy-duty attacks on Infowars and Natural News are precursors for


More alternative media information portals to be taken down or made impotent — and they may now start to pick off their targets, working down a long list;



A major 9/11 style event that would require the alternative media to be silenced first.

Its like the telegraph/electricity poles taking over the delivery of electricity to each home... time google excepted its role as a delivery service and NOTHING else they are not the GRID they are just a component of the grid/web... won't be long before we all bypass google at this rate... too much politics

[Bubu]

Then let's all blacklist Google.

good idea. natural news is one of my favorite sites. anyone has a suggestion for a replacement search engine.

[norman]

Harder tactics are needed. Someone should create a software hijacker that switches everybody's search engine settings to another provider, and infect the whole web with it.

How much would it hurt google to lose nearly all of their search traffic for even a day or two?

I keep a list of alternative seach engines, because sometimes they can provide different results, support different search options, or provided improved privacy.

Just now, I did a quick search on the several search engines in my list for "site:naturalnews.com vaccines", to see which ones could still return useful results.

===

These sites did not return any results, due apparently to google's delisting of naturalnews.com: http://google.com -- the main topic of this thread
http://ixquick.com -- aka "startpage", apparently just a front end to google.com
http://gibiru.com -- apparently just another front end to google.com

===

These sites did not return useful results, for various technical reasons I didn't examine further: http://gibiru.com
http://baiduinenglish.com
http://dogpile.com

===

These sites did return useful results: http://duckduckgo.com
http://search.yahoo.com
http://bing.com
http://yandex.com
http://goodgopher.com

The above search engine that I most often use as a Google alternative is http://duckduckgo.com . Good site.

[Mike]

WHO was Mike Adams threatened by??? (The Alex Jones bit) Did this person identify himself and/or the entity he's representing? Does Mike mention this anywhere?

I know "they" are not gonna call and say "hi mike, this is John Anderson and i'm calling on behalf of.....". And I know we all have some vague notion of who "they" are. But still, i'd like to know *exactly* what was said. on some level I regret being a little cynical, but ive heard too many sensational claims and seen too many sensational headlines to just readily accept stories like these

I dunno, maybe it's my imagination...but when I hear things in the interview like "radical left" and notions of Trump as folk hero, alarms start going off in the base of my skull. Obviously this type of censorship (of Mike and alex) goes way beyond left/right politics.

Please sign petition.

I signed it ... but the libertarian in me is unsettled :).

The government shouldn't be deciding what websites can post, or not post. Would Bill Ryan want the US government telling him he can't have Avalon have less tolerance for flat earthers? Would we want the government making it illegal to research alternative histories of the Holocaust (as Germany does)?

Rather, they should not be empowering one particular site to become so dominant, by covertly supporting it so as to enable the government itself to gain so much surveillance, and eventually control, power.

The solution is not for us people to give over such powers to the government, supposedly to correct a particular abuse, but for the people to remove the power from the government that (via the CIA's covert support of Google, in this case) enabled such abuses, the few seen, and the many unseen, to occur in the first place.

YES, yes yes. why would we make a petition to the entity thats doing the abusing to us in the first place. "blacklist google" is the best thing to do its in our power we dont have to wait for the abusers to do something for us. they wont. so.... we have to do it ourselves.

[Daughter of Time]

Paul and Bubu:

I understand your reservations or uneasiness and I don't know whether a petition will do anything at all but for me it's about doing something in defense of free speech and in defense of Adams who requested from anyone who believes in his work that the petition be signed. I believe in what he does and this is my support to him.

Strangely, google search was not available for a brief while this evening. Eventually it came back up. I've never experienced google being down before, so something must have happened.

If you want to blacklist google and know how to go about it, then all the power to you.

Cheers!

No, Google Didn't Remove NaturalNews.com Because Of Fake News

People asking me on Twitter about why NaturalNews.com was deindexed by Google. People are saying it was because of "fake news" but that is not the case.

I wasn't planning on covering this story over here, but I keep getting people asking me on Twitter about why NaturalNews.com was deindexed by Google. People are saying it was because of "fake news" but that is not the case.

I covered the story yesterday afternoon at Search Engine Land where Google told us they are violating Google's webmaster guidelines. Fake news is NOT a violation of Google's guidelines. Yes, Google may drop AdSense publishers from making money with fake news or they may have tweaked their news algorithms but they would not delist a site for fake news.

Why not delist a site for fake news? Well, some people like these sites and they want to read and be part of a community around this stuff. It might be known as alternative facts or whatever. I don't judge or care what people read and Google wants you to find content on these sites when you search for those topics. But it doesn't deindex, at least today, sites for fake news or sites for being pro-Trump as the site said after it was deindexed.

Google's statement to us read:




We don’t comment on individual sites, but if we find that a site violates one or more of our Webmaster Guidelines we may take manual action against it. For webmasters who have questions about their own sites, our Webmaster team provides support through platforms such as the Webmaster Forums. Once a site has remedied the problem, the webmaster can submit the site for reconsideration.

So what was the issue if not fake news? Who knows, it could be tons of things. The site claimed they did not get a notification in the Google Search Console. I am not sure I believe that but it doesn't matter - Google does penalize sites without notifying them of the penalty in Google Search Console often enough.

The one thing that was weird to me that during all this talk about this site being delisted, Google's John Mueller tweeted about an old penalty from 2015:

im using yandex works fine. awhile back ive search for carrot recipe i use google. its great. but when it comes to political issues and other sensitive issues yandex will be from now on. Im using google they are not using me. feels great.
That's rather like how I use Wikipedia. If I want to remember what the Pythagorean Theorem is (a2 + b2 = c2 , for the sides a, b, and c of a right angle triangle, from memory), I find Wikipedia quite useful.

If I want to examine controversial issues, I find Wikipedia worse than nothing.

Similarly, for most non-controversial issues and purposes, Google works fine, and often better than the alternatives. But if I want to research a controversial issue, I do better searching ProjectAvalon.net, or using DuckDuckGo.com.

Something as centrally vital as a search engine should be in the same category as sewerage and water supplies.

I understand the American preference for it to be in 'private' control, but, I think there should be an established standard of service enforced or else take it out of private hands and build a national search engine service just as good.

Google shouldn't be able to screw around with tailoring the service at their own fancy and still have an unchallenged monopoly. That's culturally insane.


edit:

Here's a quick review of a book called:

The Big Disconnect: Why the Internet Hasn't Transformed Politics (Yet)




Now that communication can be as quick as thought, why hasn't our ability to organize politically to establish gains and beyond that, to maintain them kept pace? The web has given us both capacity and speed: but progressive change seems to be something perpetually in the air, rarely manifesting, even more rarely staying with us.Micah L. Sifry, a longtime analyst of democracy and its role on the net, examines what he calls "The Big Disconnect." In his usual pithy, to-the-point style, he explores why data-driven politics and our digital overlords have failed or misled us, and how they can be made to serve us instead, in a real balance between citizens and state, independent of corporations. The web and social media have enabled an explosive increase in participation in the public arena but not much else has changed. For the next step beyond connectivity, writes Sifry, we need a real digital public square, not one hosted by Facebook, shaped by Google, and snooped on by the National Security Agency. If we don't build one, then any notion of democracy as rule by the people' will no longer be meaningful. We will be a nation of Big Data, by Big Email, for the powers that be.""

Dave Hodges posted this article about Google's blacklisting of Naturalnews.com from their search results. It has more detail and background. Breaking: Adams & Jones Taken Down by Google/CIA Prior to Big Event- Trump Needs to Beware (http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2017/02/23/breaking-adams-jones-taken-down-by-googlecia-prior-to-big-event-trump-needs-to-beware/).


Dave Hodges interviewed Mike Adams about the whole thing yesterday.

Important stuff: succinct, articulate and focused. Hodges and Adams agree that these serious, heavy-duty attacks on Infowars and Natural News are precursors for


More alternative media information portals to be taken down or made impotent — and they may now start to pick off their targets, working down a long list;



A major 9/11 style event that would require the alternative media to be silenced first.

Good video. David Hodges passed along an alternative search site, GoodGopher.com (http://www.goodgopher.com), which lists some sites on the main page.

The world's first privacy-protecting search engine that filters out corporate propaganda and government disinformation. http://www.goodgopher.com

Unfortunately, GoodGopher.com is not a workable search engine. It appears that one must submit their website for approval, but if it is never submitted, there will be no results for legitimate independent informational websites. Therefore, it's results are very, very limited and therefore pretty much a waste of time trying to find something. Some really good alternative websites that use documented evidence, etc, do not even show up on GoodGopher.com. Ironically, some of these alternative sites show up on the first page of Google yet you cannot find them on GoodGopher.

As far as Google is concerned, I am wondering if what we are seeing right now with Natural News and Infowars is just a test. I think if they did this broadly all hell would break loose with the people of Earth rising up against Google. So perhaps they are just seeing how far they can get away with censorship.

Hey Folks,
I have been using Epic Privacy Browser for over a year now and love it. https://www.epicbrowser.com/
It is based in India and stops all tracking and advertising of any kind. Some publications notice and ask me to turn off the ad-blocking, but I don't care about most of them. I just used its search engine to see if it showed Mike Adams and Naturalnews.com and it does. When I actually want to purchase something online through a popular shopping site like Amazon, I usually switch to Firefox browser, so the shopping site will show me all my options. That's it folks.

Google has ended its blacklisting of NaturalNews.com

My searches on Google for "site:naturalnews.com vaccines" are now returning results.

Naturalnews.com reports on this at Google censorship of Natural News: Statement from the Health Ranger (http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-02-28-google-censorship-of-natural-news-statement-from-the-health-ranger.html)

Mark Jeftovic of EasyDNS.com, a Canadian DNS and Internet Hosting Service, posted a fine article at the EasyDNS blog at The Cultural Purge Will Not Be Televised (https://www.easydns.com/blog/2017/02/24/the-cultural-purge-will-not-be-televised/), that was reposted on Zerohedge here (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-27/cultural-purge-will-not-be-televised), that describes the cultural purge that is being fueled by the master manipulators of public opinion, of which this battle between Google and Naturalnews is likely one small part.

Then let's all blacklist Google.

good idea. natural news is one of my favorite sites. anyone has a suggestion for a replacement search engine.

I subscribe to the daily NaturalNews email newsletter so I was shocked to see that Google had de-indexed it. I immediately deleted Google from my list of search engines in Firefox and changed to Bing.com which showed naturalnews at the top of my search results so I used Bing as a temporary solution. I set my home page to Goodgopher.com which is a news related search engine. There are lots of search engines and I'm sure other Avalonians will provide suggestions.

I believe it was someone else on this Forum who suggested www.duckduckgo.com. I've been using that search engine.

I'm one of those who recommend DuckDuckGo.com. It's my default search engine. However I still use Google a lot too, as there are quite a few specialized kinds of queries that Google seems best at.

Mike Adams has posted this "Thanks!" to the people who supported him, during the Google ban of NaturalNews.com:
I was not able to listen to this Youtube video of Mike Adams in its entirety.

Something seemed false to me ... he was trying too hard to present himself to us as our friend and ally in a war on our liberty.

This all feels like a big con job to me, another propaganda campaign to polarize us along yet another axis, similar to the "fake news" campaign.

(I have a fitting with my milliner later today - my neighbor commented last week that my tin foil hat seemed to be a bit tight on me.)

yeah sad thats its kinda difficult to find someone to trust nowadays. but if I an to trust my instinct this ones a good guy. I will keep my guard though.

Jim Stone (http://82.221.129.208/.zy9.html) concurs about Yandex:
USE YANDEX SEARCH
Duck Duck go is biased and weak. It's like Google Junior. Who cares if it does not track you when it puts up biased results just like Google, and is weak on top of that?

Google uploads scripts to this windows machine, that keep it busy even with google closed, until I reboot.

Bing is less malicious than Google, but it is still biased.

Other search engines use the Google engine and put a different face on it.

There is GoodGopher, which is actually decent, but it is not intended to find stuff out in the general world.

Then there is Yandex. It's in Russian but it is powerful like Google and returns unbiased results. It is thus far proving to be the best option.
