Google Alerts

[horns]

Have you ever wondered how google filters their alerts? I put "Iraqi dinar" in as a keyword alert and more times than not I get some email about it being a scam. I just feel google is a conduit for bias search results due to advertising revenue. It begs the question how accurate are your search results? I know that the CIA monitors all Facebook accounts and Google works closely with the government under the guise of the prevention of terrorism. I might be off base, but I think Google needs to be audited just like the federal reserve. Any privately owned entity with that much power to control needs to be overseen by a publicly funded authority. I heard today that part of the debt ceiling negotiations is to eliminate many of the federally funded orgs like FAA. In my mind, it's just a rue to make us think the government is deviating from the socialist agenda. But in reality, these organizations allow a check and balance system to prevent monopolization and corruption. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I do believe there is a war on information. We after all are in the information age and there needs to be an equal amount of access to that information. I feel that we are only given what we should know or what is deemed necessary by the powers that be. I hope to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Mate!

Wake up!

Google IS CIA!

The money that the Stanford two won to develop Google came from black ops off-balance sheet CIA money, through a front.

Check the internet ( don't use Google :-) ).

It's well documented. Today, the CIA and NSA use it to spy on anyone.

Read Googles terms and conditions. All the emails you write with gmail are Googles.

If you google a certain topic and your mate googles the same topic you will have different results as a result of the stuff you emailed about!!

So, in other words, your email behavior and content is used for searches. Google accesses and uses your emails!

HELLOOO!!!!!

Correct... That can also be seen/verified by looking at the ads appearing near your emails... They are linked to some of the contents of your emails. I have noticed that... Alarming in the least... Besides being outright arrogant & disrespectful of them to do that, I mean

The Federal Reserve has never been audited. That is one of our problems and why we are in this economy mess we are in.

As far as true information from the media there will always be bias. All country’s put out a Resume we call propaganda.

You are so right. I guess you know they keep your IP address and store every site you visit?

I use startpage for my search engine, they do not save the IP or your sites.

Shortly after Google started Gmail, it came out that Google would be "scanning" the contents of your gmails. They said it was only for advertisement purposes, so they could target ads to you, based on your habits, your likes, your preferences, etc. They would be looking for key words and using them to present ads tailored specifically for you.

It was known from the beginning. It's probably in their TOS. That's one of the reasons why I don't use Gmail anymore.

All the more reason to find a way to GET OFF the GRID!

Anybody know a process or strategy you can use to start disappearing?

I don't like the idea of being "targeted" by anything!

Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data is recorded. Major search engines capture your IP address and use tracking cookies to make a record of your search terms, the time of your visit, and the links you choose - then they store that information in a giant database.

Those searches reveal a shocking amount of personal information about you, such as your interests, family circumstances, political leanings, medical conditions, and more. This information is modern-day gold for marketers, government officials, hackers and criminals - all of whom would love to get their hands on your private search data.

I use Startpage. The only search engine that does not record your IP address. (and it is free) You can add Startpage to your browser,

For those of you who would love to "drop off the radar screen", your options of actually effectively doing it are getting smaller every day, but it can be done. I travel extensively, and the last, great frontier where you could go and live off grid appears to be Alaska. (I know there are others also, but Alaska is incredible) Grab a spot close to the Alaska railroad, build a cabin in a remote spot (and there are lots of em), then focus on gathering enough grub and supplies to make it thru the winter. I might be interested in doing that, but (here goes the buts) all my family and loved ones are close to me here in the heartland. I guess I am willing to accept a little (lot!) of intrusion to stay connected with friends and family. Thinking I may as well just vote my conscience, volunteer in my city, help my neighbors, pray for the best, but plan for the worst..... Still contented in Kansas!

About 4 years ago I worked as the Excavation Contractor for Turner Construction in Washington State. I worked on the MicroSoft information storage facility in Quincey Washington. As such, I learned more than I wanted to about this information age. Durning construction their were armed Micro-Costopo 24 /7. The cooling tower for the computers thats sucked the information in from the cross section of east west - north south fiber optic feeds was nothing short of impressive, two each at 80 feet through and 100 feet high. This facility sat on about 10 acres and and had two huge building plus the cooling towers. A total of 8 microsoft tech staff run the facility. After completion I had a cold beer with one of the Techs who got a little drunk and talked to much. She told me that her job was to collect data on every man woman and child on the West Coast. This facility is on of seventeen to be built in the United States in a ten year plan and another 65 world wilde in Microsofts 20 year rule the world plan. I also noted that our last day their they had finally completed the perimeter fence as it had been giving them trouble, you see they were having a hard time getting the power allotted from the power supply to charge the 10,000 Volt fence. Gaurds were walking large dobermans and carrying A5's (government issue Im guessing) Scary place and some pretty scarry times. I am posting an email I recieved this morning in the off topic section. It is very well written I would ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ IT. It will be titled WHAT IF HE IS RIGHT.

Being Alaskan I agree with that......However you better enjoy darkness and cold.........

Isn't it the truth.... Seems to be a downside to everything. Another great place is up in the mountains of Ecuador. Haven't made it there yet, but I hear its incredible. Weather supposed to be great!

Reminds me of that awesome movie "Into the Wilderness" ( I hope title is right)....True story.......Bad ending, unfortunately.

I kinda had thought it might have something to do with that... Smile

Everyone is reading into the search engine and google way to much... There 57 different setting when you set up your google to bring you our own experiences. You can manually change these setting any time. Also the way a website is organized will also redirect you to specific sites. They use what us called meta tag words. Next time you are getting ready to ready or search on DV place your cursor over the sentence topics. You will have choices like date, dinar, Iraq, revalue, RV, rumor..., the second way to control what you see or could search is a website... Example all advertisers uses ADWORDS to display banners on websites. If click on any adds or banner and then make a purchase the website is paid a commission from the add company. Last, don't do this, but is you go to the google hone pare and reset your country of origin as "iR" everything you search will be in IRAQ, select translate... You will know start to see the actual news of that country... The same as the gurus...

Have fun Searching. Go RV

You guys just made my day, Thanks! Its great to see that there are others on this forum who have a grasp of the reality unfolding around us. The more informed we can make others, the better chances of the Awaken United States to stop this Tyranny.

It's all about the MONEY! I now live in Florida and found out two days ago that the DMV in this state SELLS everyones information to whomever will pay the price. Last year to the tune of $65 M dollars! I don't know about the rest of you, but this stuff scares the h*** out of me.

I live in Florida too. One helpful hint for ya...the next time you renew your license or plates, tell them that you need to have a protected address. This is a little trick I learned through my profession, it's not totally fool proof, but it does cut down on the amount of junk mail and other crap you tend to get sent to you. (My favorite is telling them that I'm an expert witness and I testify for the state on a regular basis). They practically fall over themselves to help you out. Kind of funny actually.

Received this by email:

'Encrypted' Google search: The non-default, but more secure way to use Google

What's good:

It's simple to start. Once you're on the Google website, add an "S" in the browser url just after, "http." In other words, change "http" into "https": https://www.google.com/. This encrypts the connection from your computer to Google's servers, by using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. (By convention, urls that require an SSL connection, or have it as an option, start with https instead of http.)

If you're on a public Wi-Fi, and someone is electronically eavesdropping ("sniffing"), that person or software program will only capture the encrypted message, not the search terms you're typing into Google.

The encrypted connection should keep your searches confidential even from your ISP. When you click to the third-party destination website, from the search engine results page, the destination website doesn't know that you came from Google – or what search term you used to reach the site.

Obama just signed a bill giving him the authority to pull the plug on the Internet. It also gives the Feds sweeping authority to monitor anyone, anytime, anywhere.

The media including the Internet is now controlled by Soros, his NWO cronies & the DNC which Soros purchased all the above. The US media has turned into Propaganda USA. Don't believe me...go to BBC, CSM, WSJ. You will get different versions of the same story.
