Big Tech Revenge: Project Veritas Banned Over Expose Of Google
After releasing a damning expose of Google’s dark agenda of social engineering and censorship, all of Big Tech are extracting blatant revenge on Project Veritas, including Google, Pinterest, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo and Reddit.
The battle is heating up and it is going to get really ugly before it’s over. Many lawsuits have already been lodged against such companies and legislators at all levels are examining what is going on.
Investigative journalism group Project Veritas has dropped multiple major stories this month on Big tech — here are 5 times Big Tech tried to censor them as a result.
Recently, investigative journalism group Project Veritas has published multiple stories that have hit Silicon Valley tech giants such as Google hard, revealing the company’s lack of respect for Congress and attempts to censor conservative opinions. As a result, Project Veritas has faced multiple attempts at censoring their stories off the Internet. Following a tweet from Project Veritas, Breitbart News has compiled a list of the various ways that Project Veritas has been censored in just the month of June alone.
1: YouTube Bans Videos About Veritas Investigation Into Pinterest
A recent investigation by Project Veritas revealed that Pinterest added Bible verses to a “sensitive terms” list and censored a major pro-life website as “pornography.” Shortly after this, the Project Veritas’ video featuring testimony from a Pinterest insider was removed from YouTube.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe said in a statement: “The established media and technology are so afraid of investigative journalism they need to censor it. YouTube calls REPORTING on someone by showing their face and name, and how they added a pro-life group to a porn blacklist, a ‘privacy complaint.’ Would they do this to NYT?”
2: Twitter Suspends Project Veritas Account Over Pinterest Story
Twitter also didn’t seem to take kindly to Project Veritas revealing information leaked to them by an insider at Pinterest. Following the posting of the Pinterest story to Twitter, Project Veritas saw its account temporarily suspended from the platform.
This took place shortly after the removal of the Pinterest story from YouTube, adding further credence to claims that tech firms are colluding to shut down conservatives on their platforms.
3: Reddit Bans Project Veritas
Social media site and self-proclaimed “Front page of the Internet,” Reddit also recently banned Project Veritas’ account after the organization tried to post a link to their Google insider story.
A few days later, Reddit “quarantined” the Trump-supporting subreddit The_Donald which had over 750,000 subscribers at the time of its quarantining. Users attempting to visit the subreddit are met with a warning page, deterring them from accessing the community. Reddit described its reasoning for censoring the subreddit stating:
There will sometimes be communities that, while not prohibited, average redditors may nevertheless find highly offensive or upsetting. In other cases, communities may be dedicated to promoting hoaxes (yes we used that word) that warrant additional scrutiny, as there are some things that are either verifiable or falsifiable and not seriously up for debate (eg, the Holocaust did happen and the number of people who died is well documented). In these circumstances, Reddit Administrators may apply a quarantine.

4: YouTube Bans Video of Undercover Google Investigation
Some commenters found it unsurprising that Google-owned video hosting platform YouTube would take action to censor the most recent Google investigation by Project Veritas as it could prove very damaging to the company going forward. In the video, Google executive Jen Gennai made multiple damaging comments about the company to undercover Project Veritas investigators.

Whistle-Blowing Mothers Threatened, Doxxed by Antifa for Exposing Drag Queen Event Teaching Graphic Sex to Teens
Two whistle-blowing mothers who appeared at a “Teen Pride” event at a Renton, Washington public library were removed from the event by law enforcement and are now being threatened and doxxed by Antifa leftists for exposing the event’s graphic sexual content aimed at kids.
The “Teen Pride” event featured scantily clad, pornographic dance sessions from demonic drag queens with the distribution of pamphlets describing extreme and violent sexual acts. One pamphlet encouraged children to experiment with bondage, reading: “Abuse is not S/M [sadism and masochism].”
Videos taken by the whistle-blowers of performers at the event can be seen here and here. The pornographic nature of their displays cannot be understated.
“I witnessed kids in that show and in the following panel that couldn’t have been more than ten,” one of the moms said to The College Fix.
Independent journalist Saleem Juna exposed the perverse paraphernalia being handed out to children by the event organizers:
These were being handed out by #DragQueenStoryHour. #Antifa supports handing out condoms and genital shaped sex Documents to little children! Now they are harassing these old, Christian Women!
Why is @TwitterSafety protecting Emerald City Antifa? @MLChristiansen @Timcast
117 people are talking about this
Antifa thugs are now doxxing the mothers who exposed the event, hoping to bring...
AFRICAN IMMIGRANT CHARGED WITH MISSING STUDENT’S GHASTLY MURDER
A man who police say she met up with on June 17 in a North Salt Lake park was arrested in connection with the death of 23-year-old Mackenzie Lueck.
“It is with heavy heart that I address you today,” Salt Lake Police Chief Mike Brown said in announcing the arrest.
Ayoola Adisa Ajayi, 31, was taken into custody at 9:20 a.m. at an apartment complex at 1028 S. West Temple by a SWAT team. He was later booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, desecration of a human body and obstruction of justice. He is being held without bail.
The SWAT team had Ajayi exit an apartment at gunpoint and walk toward waiting officers with his hands on his head. In a picture of the arrest, it appears Ajayi is talking to someone on his cellphone. Salt Lake police confirmed Friday that at some point, the SWAT team talked to him by phone to have him come out of the apartment.
A second man who was in the same apartment was also placed in handcuffs and taken from the scene. Police say they questioned that man but later released him and say he has no connection to the Lueck case.
After announcing that Ajayi was in custody, Brown said he would not be saying the suspect’s name again.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office was expected to review the case for formal criminal charges Friday, but charges aren’t expected until next week.
The arrest comes a day after Ajayi was named a “person of interest” in Lueck’s disappearance after Salt Lake police spent all of Wednesday night and into Thursday morning searching his house in the Fairpark neighborhood.
Bags and bags of evidence were collected. Officers could also be seen digging holes in the backyard. Neighbors told detectives they had observed Ajayi on June 17 and June 18 burning something in his backyard.
“The search warrant resulted in the findings of a fresh dig area on his property, which is the same area that the arrested person was reported burning something. A forensic excavation of the...

Streaming giant Netflix has caved in to demands and announced that it will not be producing any more Good Omens episodes following a petition to cancel the show. There is just one small issue that the complainers have overlooked: The show is made by Amazon Prime, not Netflix.The Good Omens miniseries premiered at the end of May on Amazon’s streaming service. It is based on a 1990 novel written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman titled Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. It tells the story of a demon and an angel who are friends and work together to stop the apocalypse because they enjoy their lives on Earth.The content struck a nerve with people who deemed it blasphemous. A US Christian organization called the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property launched a petition titled “Tell Netflix: Cancel Blasphemous Good Omens Series.” Their goal was to get the show scrapped because it normalizes Satanism. It garnered over 20,000 signatures but was mistakenly addressed to Netflix, which has nothing to do with the show.Netflix replied on Twitter, promising not to make more Good Omens.[2] In return, Prime Video threatened to cancel Stranger Things, a popular show produced by its streaming rival.
Last week, two species of worm-like creatures were described for the first time. They were found in different parts of the world and featured in unrelated studies, but they have one thing in common: Both species have strange butts. One worm has eyes on its bottom, while the other can consume rocks and poop out sand.First up is Ampharete oculicirrata (pictured above). Measuring only 4 millimeters (0.2 in) in length, it was found during a survey of an unexplored part of the West Shetland Shelf Marine Protected Area, north of Scotland. The creature looks typical except for the two little black eyes it has on stalks sprouting from its behind.Eighty of these worms were found in relatively shallow depths of 120 meters (400 ft) close to the coastline. Marine scientist Jessica Taylor sees the discovery as another example of just how little we know about “the creatures that live in our waters.”[3]Up next was Lithoredo abatanica, a shipworm found in the Abatan River in the Philippines. Despite its name, the shipworm is not a worm but rather a mollusk called a bivalve which has a tiny shell and a worm-like body. The creature was first discovered in 2006 by a French expedition, but that team had other mission goals, so the animal was mostly ignored until 2018.Shipworms get their name from the fact that they normally digest wood and cause damage to vessels and docks. This species, though, bores through rock using flat teeth and excretes sandy particles. Researchers first found stone fragments in the guts of the shipworms and, later, observed them in action in an aquarium.

A year ago, we talked about the botched restoration of a 16th-century wooden sculpture of St. George in the Spanish town of Estella. With brightly colored armor and rosy pink complexion, the statue looked more like a cartoon character than a 500-year-old relic. This time, the local government brought in actual experts who carried out an “unrestoration” job that made the sculpture look more like it did centuries ago.The initial job was done by a local crafts teacher who, despite his best intentions, had no restoration training. He had used incompatible techniques and materials that caused a lot of damage, some of it irreparable.The new project benefited from the work of professionals and a $34,000 budget, but some of the original paint was lost. Although it looks good from afar, up close, you can tell which parts are original and which are not.[5]A similar situation occurred in the Spanish town of Borja when a well-meaning amateur painter turned a fresco of Jesus into a laughably bad restoration known as “Monkey Christ.” While the online notoriety quadrupled the number of tourists to Borja, the mayor of Estella did not enjoy the added renown. He did not want his town to be famous for the “poor treatment of [its] heritage.”

In a scene reminiscent of The Birds, an elderly English couple from Lancashire was trapped in their own home by two seagulls that attacked them every time they tried to leave.Roy and Brenda Pickard have a house in Knott End, near Morecambe Bay. A pair of mating gulls decided to make their nest on the Pickards’ roof and now have two chicks to look after. This has made them very protective of the territory, which they now deem to be theirs even though the Pickards were there first. On one occasion, they attacked 77-year-old Roy so badly that he had to go to the hospital to treat a bloody head wound.[1]At the moment, Roy says he can’t leave out the front door without the birds descending upon him. The couple was stranded inside the house for six days, but, eventually, Roy had to do the shopping. Fortunately, he can go into the garage through the house and drive out.Wyre Council officials investigated the matter and claim that they have arranged to help Mrs. Pickard keep her medical appointments. However, they say that the birds are herring gulls, which are protected by law once nesting, so there are “limited solutions” available for the problem.

7Slug Causes Railway Chaos
From worms, we move on to slugs. Over 12,000 Japanese people on Kyushu Island were affected by train delays blamed on a slug that squeezed into a load disconnector and caused a power outage.Japanese public transport is famous throughout the world for being efficient and punctual. On this occasion, though, Kyushu Railway had to cancel dozens of journeys and delay many other services due to the chaos caused by a single slimy intruder.The power failure actually occurred on May 30, but it took railway officials weeks to track down the culprit. They found the slug’s burned remains inside an electrical power box near the tracks.[4]A railway spokesman hesitated to call the event a first, but he did describe it as “rare.” Railway technicians went through all other similar power devices in the area to ensure that they did not also have any glutinous guests.

Twitter Changes Rules To Silence President Trump
The site claims that its change has nothing to do with the president himself but anyone with brain cells can see that is exactly what it is.
“Our highest priority is to protect the health of the public conversation on Twitter, and an important part of that is ensuring our rules and how we enforce them are easy to understand.
“In the past, we’ve allowed certain Tweets that violated our rules to remain on Twitter because they were in the public’s interest, but it wasn’t clear when and how we made those determinations.
“To fix that, we’re introducing a new notice that will provide additional clarity in these situations, and sharing more on when and why we’ll use it,” it said in a statement.
“Serving the public conversation includes providing the ability for anyone to talk about what matters to them; this can be especially important when engaging with government officials and political figures.
“By nature of their positions these leaders have outsized influence and sometimes say things that could be considered controversial or invite debate and discussion.
“A critical function of our service is providing a place where people can openly and publicly respond to their leaders and hold them accountable.
“With this in mind, there are certain cases where it may be in the public’s interest to have access to certain Tweets, even if they would otherwise be in violation of our rules.

Denmark: Video of Pupils Being Taught to Chant “Allahu Akbar” Causes Controversy
A video showing Danish schoolchildren being trained how to perform a Muslim prayer and chant “Allahu Akbar” has stoked controversy.
The clip shows a boy of African descent in Muslim clothing demonstrating the Islamic prayer to a group of mainly ethnically Danish children.
He is then interrupted by a teacher who instructs the kids to say “Allahu Akbar,” after which the entire class kneels in prayer.
“The prayer took place at Thyregod School in Velje municipality in southern Jutland in November 2018,” reports Sputnik.
After the video was leaked, numerous people called for schools officials to resign, claiming that children were being ‘indoctrinated’ into Islam. According to headmaster Gert Hougaard, he has “never experienced anything like this”.
The Danish People’s Party’s Martin Henriksen demanded an explanation from the school and whether parental permission had been obtained, but was merely told that this was a routine part of the curriculum.
He also asked school management if they intended to teach pupils Islam’s “dark sides and widespread fundamentalism,” in addition to its “massive religious and social control.”
Numerous similar videos showing children in European countries being taught how to adopt Muslim practices have...
Warren Confirms She Would Make Private Health Insurance Illegal. Here's What That Would Actually Look Like.
Here she is explaining her position:
From the New York Times:
Doing away with an entire industry would also be profoundly disruptive. The private health insurance business employs at least a half a million people, covers about 250 million Americans, and generates roughly a trillion dollars in revenues. Its companies’ stocks are a staple of the mutual funds that make up millions of Americans’ retirement savings.
Such a change would shake the entire health care system, which makes up a fifth of the United States economy, as hospitals, doctors, nursing homes and pharmaceutical companies would have to adapt to...

Bank Of America Will No Longer Do Business With Companies That Run Private Prisons, Detention Centers
Bank of America said it will cease doing business with companies that are involved with running private prisons and detention centers.
The bank has been “discussing the issue for some time,” with pertinent clients, a company spokesperson told Fox Business in a statement.
“We have decided to exit the relationships we have with companies providing prisoner and immigrant detention services for federal and state governments, as expeditiously as possible,” the spokesperson said.
The company came to the decision after consulting with its environmental, social and governance (ESG) committee as well as internal Hispanic and black leaders, Fox Business reported.
“The private sector is attempting to respond to public policy and government needs and demands in the absence of long standing and widely recognized reforms needed in criminal justice and immigration policies,” the statement continued.
“Lacking further legal and policy clarity, and in recognition of the concerns of our employees and stakeholders in the communities we serve, it is our intention to exit these relationships,” the statement concluded.
Bank of America reportedly lended to Caliburn, a company that runs a facility called Homestead, which protesters have alleged functions as a sort of prison, according to the Miami Herald.
JPMorgan Chase announced in March it would cease financing companies involved in private prisons and detention centers.
Border detention centers have come under harsh scrutiny following Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comparison of detention centers to “concentration camps” on Instagram earlier in June.
Ocasio-Cortez responded to Bank of America’s decision on Twitter, suggesting the move was a victory resulting from her...
