Liberal Tech Companies Team Up to Defeat Trump

Now that the primaries are history and the election is right around the corner, the effort to take down Donald Trump and ensure Hillary’s coronation has shifted into high gear.

Liz Crokin writing for Observer Politics reports:

The usual suspects from left-leaning major media outlets like The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN and even entertainment networks are doing everything in their power to ensure a Clinton victory. Look no further than to Wolf Blitzer mincing around and drinking wine at the Democratic convention, celebrating Hillary’s nomination. But the propaganda skewing this election runs much deeper than just the media: our iPhones, iPads, social media networks, Google and even video games are all in the tank for Hillary Clinton—and it’s chilling.

Crokin explains how Trump media is rejected or stigmatized as “explicit” while left-leaning podcasts are allowed to dominate. “Of all the channels listed in the Apple News politics section, only two of the 16 arguably lean right—the rest are reliably left-wing,” she writes.

This should not come as a surprise: Apple CEO Tim Cook is an avid Clinton supporter. Team Clinton hired Google’s Eric Schmidt to kickstart a company providing consulting services for the candidate.

“While Schmidt has said that he would not work in a Clinton administration, he does support her presidential campaign. Google also has a number of close ties to the Obama administration, with a number of former employees serving in top positions, from U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith to the head of the U.S. Patent Office, Michelle Lee. The chief technology officer of Clinton’s campaign, Stephanie Hannon, was also hired from Google,” writes Alexander Howard for The Huffington Post.

Google also stands accused of rigging search criteria to show Clinton in a favorable light.

“Twitter is another culprit,” notes Crokin. “The company has gotten a lot of slack for banning conservatives and Trump supporters such as Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos and, most recently, rapper Azealia Banks after she came out in support of Trump. Twitter has provided vague answers as to why conservative voices have been banned while they’ve allowed other users to call for the killing of cops.”

On Thursday it was revealed Twitter CEO Dick Costolo “secretly ordered employees to filter out abusive and hateful replies to President Barack Obama during a Q&A session,” according to BuzzFeed.

Moreover, founders of popular pro-Trump Twitter handles accuse the corporation of censoring their content.

Instagram pulls down accounts criticizing Clinton. “In June, a conservative comedy group called Toughen Up America was banned with no warning or explanation. Last week, the popular Australian-based graffiti artist, Lushsux, was banned from Instagram after he posted photos of a bikini-clad Clinton mural he painted.”

Facebook faced criticism after Sen. John Thune sent a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking him to explain why conservative posts were taken down while those for Black Lives Matter promoted.

Facebook is said to be a product of the CIA’s tech investment operation, In-Q-Tel.

“The publicly available record on the Facebook/In-Q-Tel connection is tenuous,” writes The Corbett Report. “Facebook received $12.7 million in venture capital from Accel, whose manager, James Breyer, now sits on their board. He was formerly the chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, whose board included Gilman Louie, then the CEO of In-Q-Tel. The connection is indirect, but the suggestion of CIA involvement with Facebook, however tangential, is disturbing in the light of Facebook’s history of violating the privacy of its users.

Google’s connection to In-Q-Tel is more straightforward, if officially denied. In 2006, ex-CIA officer Robert David Steele told Homeland Security Today that Google “has been taking money and direction for elements of the US Intelligence Community, including the Office of Research and Development at the Central Intelligence Agency, In-Q-Tel, and in all probability, both the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command.” Later that year, a blogger claimed that an official Google spokesman had denied the claims, but no official press statement was released.

Hillary Clinton is the obvious choice for the establishment, its national security state, the military industrial complex, and the surveillance apparatus that relies on tech companies, especially Facebook.
