Free Thought Project – by John Vibes

Google may be the world’s most popular search engine, but it has also been the subject of a number of accusations in recent years that it is purposefully censoring searches and influencing results. In the case of search results related to the Parkland shooting, that alleged influence is becoming even more apparent.

This week, the staff at The Free Thought Project began testing various keywords related to the Parkland shooting on different search engines, and we noticed that if our search terms were controversial, the first page of Google results was filled with entirely different information than the other search engines. The information showed on Google was often not relevant to our search, and the results always seemed to support the official narrative.  Continue reading “Google Caught Red-Handed Censoring Search Results Asking Questions About Parkland Shooting”

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) — Two freight trains collided and derailed shortly before midnight, injuring four people and igniting a fire that forced nearby residents to evacuate, authorities said Monday. Nearby residents were evacuated “out of an abundance of caution after the crash was reported at 11:14 p.m., Lexington Fire Lt. Jessica Bowman told The Associated Press. Bowman said she couldn’t confirm what substance had spilled and was burning, but the people were allowed to return home once safety risks were ruled out.

Police told the Scott County School superintendent, Kevin Hub, to open schools as emergency shelters, and buses were sent to the neighborhood to collect people without transportation. Hub said he could see smoke billowing from the scene and they were prepared to receive hundreds of people. The Red Cross even arrived with snacks. Shortly after many residents arrived, they were able to return home.  Continue reading “4 people injured when trains collide, derail in Kentucky”

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China said it will begin applying its so-called social credit system to flights and trains and stop people who have committed misdeeds from taking such transport for up to a year.

People who would be put on the restricted lists included those found to have committed acts like spreading false information about terrorism and causing trouble on flights, as well as those who used expired tickets or smoked on trains, according to two statements issued on the National Development and Reform Commission’s website on Friday.  Continue reading “China to bar people with bad ‘social credit’ from planes, trains”

An explosion that injured two men Sunday night could’ve been triggered by a tripwire, said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley, after a fourth blast in the Texas city in little over two weeks.

Authorities are working under the belief that the latest incident is connected to the previous three explosions in the city, Manley said. At this point, information is preliminary, he said early Monday morning, and police have yet to fully process the scene.

In 2010, it was found that roughly 100,000 Americans die each year from prescription drugs alone. When it comes to opioids, the number of deaths is in the tens of thousands while a quarter of patients who were given a short-term prescription transitioned to long-term use.

Now, according to a recent Harvard University analysis, doctors who prescribe these pain-killers are being paid huge sums of money from their manufacturers.   Continue reading “Harvard Investigation Shows Doctors are Paid Huge Sums to Prescribe Addictive Opiods”

The first time I met Christopher Wylie, he didn’t yet have pink hair. That comes later. As does his mission to rewind time. To put the genie back in the bottle.

By the time I met him in person, I’d already been talking to him on a daily basis for hours at a time. On the phone, he was clever, funny, bitchy, profound, intellectually ravenous, compelling. A master storyteller. A politicker. A data science nerd.  Continue reading “‘I made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: meet the data war whistleblower”

Peter Schweizer, who delved into the Clinton Foundation’s dealings in 2016’s “Clinton Cash,” has turned his sights to the money-making machinations of DC’s political elite.

His new book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” — due out Tuesday from Harper Collins — exposes how politicians engage in “corruption by proxy” by exploiting family and business ties to enrich themselves and their relatives.   Continue reading “How McConnell and Chao used political power to make their family rich”

Los Alamitos might try to opt out of California’s new sanctuary law.

The City Council in Orange County’s second-smallest city is scheduled to vote Monday, March 19 on an ordinance that calls for exempting itself from the California Values Act, SB54, a new law that limits cooperation between law enforcement and immigration authorities.   Continue reading “Los Alamitos might challenge California over state’s sanctuary law”

We all know what the “extreme risk protection orders” will degenerate into. With the “government” determined to grab any gun they can, they’re going to use any excuse, real or fabricated, to raid the homes of patriots and seize their weapons.

Yes, a lot of cops will die in this process, but they’re just expendable, and replaceable pawns that need to be sacrificed for the communists’ plans to proceed. Their hiring standards will decline as many cops quit, and every real American refuses the job. They may resort to pinning a badge on any Mexican who’s eager to kill a few gringos, but the disarmament process will continue. The war has arrived.    Continue reading “Deciding To Die”

Unlike most of the commentators Chris, I was THERE in Tehran for three months, hanging with government analysts and being handled by a lawyer whose family wereclose to the Shah and Rafsanjani.

In fact, their home was in the famous town of Khansar, Iran, home of the foreign minister Zarif – that’s where they hid me for six weeks. THAT’S who I was amongst and they did NOT want to talk about Israel NOR the Talpiot Program and Israels high technology program. I had to threaten them to get them to give me permission to organize a conference and their behavior became so bizarre I left. There was no conference. INSTEAD! They hold intellectual WANK conferences on books by E.Michael Jones.   Continue reading “Putin & Netanyahu Are Thick As Thieves”
