Google’s slogan used to be “don’t be evil.” It was a good slogan, one that everyone other than the Hitlers (or Maos) among us could get behind. Then, in 2015, Google changed course and changed its motto to “do the right thing.” That change, while it might seem innocuous, is the change from which all our current problems stem. It’s what transformed Google from a productivity-enhancing company that represented the best of what America’s innovative economy had to offer into an abominable corporation with far from benign motives. In effect, it’s why you should boycott Google.
Why is that? Because there’s a huge difference between “don’t be evil” and “do the right thing.” The “don’t be evil frame of mind is the capitalist one. Under that frame of action, a business works to improve its product and focus on business, not politics or social justice. Sure, it shies away from reprehensible actions, but otherwise it leaves conceptions of what is “best” for society out of the picture and instead just focuses on doing what businesses do best: making money.
The “do the right thing” mindset is wholly different. Under that framework, businesses are supposed to focus not on business, but on society as a whole. It means that, rather than focusing on delivering a product of value to customers and returns on capital to shareholders, businesses are somehow supposed to use their power to do what is best for society. If a coffee shop or health food store had that motto, it would be wrongheaded but not necessarily dangerous. In the case of Google, a hugely powerful company, however, it is quite dangerous because Google actually has the resources to put those social justice ideas into action.
The result of the “do the right thing” shift has been Google using its power to push far-left policies. It downgrades and blacklists conservative sites, shifted millions of votes to leftist candidates, kicked Parler off the Google Play store, turned down contracts with the Pentagon, and donates to leftist causes, including BLM.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
