It's Time To Dump Google Search. Here's How.
[This article has been updated. The newest version is: How To Dump Google Search: 2022 Update.]
Google is the king of search. We automatically know what someone means when they tell us to “Google it”. But the company that once used the slogan “Don’t Be Evil” has become an international tech giant guilty of many evil deeds, including censorship on political grounds, tracking user’s search results, election interference, and selling our data to the highest bidders. Some security experts have said Google was founded with money from the CIA. And Senator Ted Cruz recently called Google the “most dangerous company on the face of the planet”. Google has become the first, and often only, search engine for almost everyone, but there are many other great options available, and with risks associated with using Google, there’s really no reason to use them any longer.
If your privacy is important to you switch to one of these alternatives. They all give good search results and they have solid privacy policies to protect their users.
MetaGer is a German search site developed and run by the nonprofit organization, SUMA-EV–Association for Free Access to Knowledge. MetaGer protects against censorship by combining the results of multiple search engines. They use an anonymizing proxy to protect your privacy and they don’t track you or retain your search history. They’re my default search engine.
Mojeek is a UK based search company that describes itself as “the alternative search engine that puts the people who use it first.” Mojeek was the first privacy respecting search engine and the only one that provides completely independent search results instead of simply harvesting results from other search engines.
Yippy is an independent search engine that, like Mojeek, provides results from its own web crawler instead of serving up results from Google and Bing. Yippy uses IBM Watson technology and they have a solid privacy policy, promising to never track you and they don’t collect any personal data from users.
Qwant is based in France and says their keywords are “privacy and neutrality”. Qwant encrypts your search requests, they don’t retain any personal data and they don’t track you. I’ve found their search results to be a little strange at times but if the other search engines aren’t giving you the results you’re looking for, give Qwant a try.
Gibiru is a California based search company that offers 256-bit HTTPS encryption, no logging of any kind, no cookies, no data selling, an option to add proxy/VPN, no ad tracking, and a strong commitment to privacy. While most of their search results are pulled from Google, they also serve up uncensored results but it’s unclear where those results come from.
DuckDuckGo is a popular choice but I don’t use it. While most review sites give them a thumbs up, over the years there have been many questions raised about just how honest the company is. They also have business agreements with Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. The website Techrights.org has an entire page on why no one should be using DuckDuckGo. Read it and then decide for yourself.
Times have changed and your choices have grown. Stop feeding the abusive tech giants that don’t respect you or your privacy. Make your next search a safer one.
Ignore The Imaginary Hobgoblins.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." - H.L. Mencken
Our Leaders Have Betrayed Us. We Must Now Take The Lead.
I recently read an article that asked "If Trump Couldn't Do It, Who Could Possibly Defend Humanity Against Fascist Oppression?".
It's an interesting and important question. For a moment I searched my brain for the names of anyone strong enough to take on such a large and dangerous task. No one came to mind. Donald Trump is truly the last person who could attempt to save us against the enormous forces of the coming totalitarian society that could imprison us all.
But is this the end? Are we to wait idly by as the psychopathic Marxist Fascists reshape our world into their vision?
No. Absolutely not.
Donald Trump tried his best, but he was up against forces no single man could ever defeat. And yet, he still succeeded. He succeeded because he exposed the extent of the corruption within the United States government and entities, both government and otherwise, all over the world. But in the end, he's one man. And one man cannot defeat global evil.
But we can.
Collectively, freedom loving people can work together and rise up against the elitists and their bought and paid for operatives and push them into history as the insane failures that we know they are.
We have reached a point in human evolution where we no longer need to look for a single charismatic leader who tells us what to do. When we search our souls we know what we need to do. We, as individuals, need to take action. We have the power. We ARE the power. We can change our world. We don't need to blindly follow the dictates of heartless, soulless, and greed-filled fake leaders who gladly destroy us for their personal gain.
Gone are the days when we hand over our lives to people who pretend to care about us but really only care about themselves. Gone are the days when we show up at the election place and vote for whoever our preferred political party tells us to vote for. Gone are the days when we fail to be responsible members of our Earthly community and lazily hand that responsibility to insane elitists.
WE have the power. YOU have the power.
We can do this.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Is It Directed By Psychopaths? Or By Fools?
For months we've been told that COVID-19 is a respiratory illness spread by droplets in the air. Later we were told it could also be spread by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching our mouth or eyes. Then we were told it could reach us in aerosolized form from as far away as 12 feet. So we dutifully masked up, social distanced, and practically bathed in hand sanitizer. Yet despite all that, we're told the number of infected people is rising at a rapid pace. The governor of the state of Virginia actually made the bold claim that cases were rising faster in December than at any other point in the pandemic.
Nothing our elected officials has told us to do seems to be making any difference, other than bankrupting businesses, destroying the economy, and tearing apart the social fabric that used to hold us together.
What's going on?
The first thing that comes to my mind is that we're being lied to on a scale mankind has never seen before. There are many very powerful and very wealthy individuals who are profiting greatly from the suffering of the masses. And the proof is growing that the PCR tests used by most governments to detect the virus are hopelessly inaccurate, leading to a huge overestimation of how many people are actually contagious carriers. Politicians know this but they ignore it. All they seem to know how to do is more of the same failed policies. And wait for the miracle vaccine.
Either our politicians are fools, or they're in on the scam. As much as we like to think they're not very bright, the truth of the matter is that politics attracts the worst, and often the most clever and manipulative, members of society. There are probably more psychopaths holding elected offices than in any other profession. Odds are, if the pandemic is a scam, the politicians are in on it. A large percentage of them, at least.
And that leads to two possibilities, as I see it. The first is that the books are cooked with huge numbers of false positives, and the never-ending increase in cases is used as the excuse to take away our rights and restructure the world as they see fit. The second possibility is that the numbers are somewhat more accurate but the method of transmission isn't what we've been told. I'm no scientist but logic dictates that if COVID is spread by droplets then wearing masks should reduce infections. But the data doesn't support that. Is it possible that the virus could be spread deliberately in some way, perhaps in a concentrated form that masks can't trap, dispersed in targeted sites? Could it be delivered via chemtrails? In tap water? In food?
I'm not trying to start a panic and some of my thoughts could be completely impossible. But I would like you to think outside of the media and government narrative and ask, "what else is possible?". If this is a real virus, why aren't masks working? Why is social distancing failing? Why are we disinfecting ourselves with alcohol gel? How else could it be spreading? And why is no one else asking these questions? It is insane to continue doing the same things over and over while getting results that are the opposite of what we expected.
There has to be something we're missing. There has to be another way out of this.
I simply hope this article leads to some new thinking and fresh conversations that don't seem to be taking place at all right now.
We are the real fools if we let the psychopaths have the last word.
