Court Rules Google is Monopoly Violating Sherman Antitrust Act

After two years of pre-trial litigation, and a year of trial in front of U.S. District Judge Amit Mehtata, the court has determined that Google is factually a monopoly operation in the business of online search engine use and advertising. Google is violating section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by running a monopoly business model.

The court highlighted the results of Judge Mehtata review in a 286-page opinion – SEE HERE. A key excerpt is provided below:

COURT RULING pdf – […] “Google has not achieved market dominance by happenstance. It has hired thousands of highly skilled engineers, innovated consistently, and made shrewd business decisions. The result is the industry’s highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users.

But Google also has a major, largely unseen advantage over its rivals: default distribution. Most users access a general search engine through a browser (like Apple’s Safari) or a search widget that comes preloaded on a mobile device. Those search access points are preset with a “default” search engine. The default is extremely valuable real estate.

Because many users simply stick to searching with the default, Google receives billions of queries every day through those access points. Google derives extraordinary volumes of user data from such searches. It then uses that information to improve search quality. Google so values such data that, absent a user-initiated change, it stores 18 months-worth of a user’s search history and activity.

Sunday Talks – Senator Ron Johnson Provides Information About Trump Assassination Attempt from Govt Officials

Senator Ron Johnson is the former chair of the Homeland Security Committee.  Johnson’s staff have been sending letters to various agencies responsible for presidential security, in an effort to find out as much information as possible about the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

It has only been two weeks since an assassin attempted to kill President Trump, while murdering a rally attendee and critically injuring two others.  However, most of the corporate media have dropped the subject and quickly rushed to the coronation of Kamala “brat” Harris.   In an attempt to diminish the issue, Google has even removed search qualifiers for the Trump assassination attempt.  Google doesn’t do this without active participation with DHS and the Intelligence Community.

Ron Johnson talks to Fox News about the briefings he and his staff have received from DHS and Secret Service officials. WATCH:

Understand How Your Social Media Voice Becomes the Enemy in 2024, and the Connection to Kamala “BRAT” Harris

I’m going to just drop some analysis and research material quickly because the previously sparse pixels are rapidly collating into a visible picture.

Many people are well aware of that the Dept of Homeland Security, (DHS – part of the domestic Intelligence Community structure), previously triggered a myriad of activities and actions to control the online speech of Americans.

Factually, despite the previous understandings about Big Tech deplatforming, demonetization, shadow banning and censorship, it took the Twitter-File revelations to put actual context to what the FBI, DHS, CISA and various domestic intelligence communities were doing.

Immediately everyone saw how Big Tech via Twitter, Google, Instagram, Facebook, etc were using every resource to control information sharing and shut down speech.  In the bigger picture this can be looked at as an effort to control online communication.

Controlling online communication is not only about the content of the voice (under the guise of dis-mis-malinformation), but also about controlling the visibility of the scale of voices who agree.  Ultimately, it’s like an ideologically like-minded crowd in a stadium, if you can stop them at the entry points the stadium looks sparse as the crowd is forcibly turned away.  You don’t know that your opinion is held by tens of millions of people who think exactly the same way you do.

This is why I have continually pointed out that WE ARE IN THE MAJORITY, they just control the platforms that give us the online impression of size.

There is a difference between ‘the real world’, and the ‘online world’.  Tens-of-thousands of attendees to numerous and frequent Donald Trump rallies are a visual demonstration of scale, while dozens or hundreds attended the same for Joe Biden.  There are other examples like random site-specific polls (non-media influenced), spontaneous assemblies, boat parades, etc.  In every ‘real world’ example, the ordinary American electorate visibly dominate the scope of support.

FLASHBACK – The Hedge

You don’t have to always agree with the datapoints, but don’t discount them either. As I wrote at the time.

The JP Morgan 5 Year Strategic Plan 2024 – Considering that CEO Jamie Dimon would review this type of document and give direct approval, and considering the recent statements of political strategic advocacy by the CEO of JPMorgan {SEE HERE and SEE HERE}, this 2024 -albeit familiar sounding- prediction, was, well, rather curious:

A New Era Technocracy

Not surprisingly, a few people viewed my research presentation of JD Vance through a prism of negativity. [SEE HERE] We have many new readers who are not as in-tune with the details of how the bad parts of the DC surveillance state work.  So, let me take you behind the scenes a little and expand for context.

Nothing written about the data set, the facts within the JD Vance storyline, is incorrect.  Everything is cited, accurate and factually true. However, when you get into the intent and consequence part, that’s when people start to become emotional.  Some clarity is needed.

Commenter Freedom Ring provides a good example.  FR says, “JD has an association with Theil [sp?] & Musk; this could be worded to be a positive or negative, but the article paints it as a negative.”

This is correct. The research article positions the relationship between JD Vance and Peter Thiel as a serious challenge, here’s why.

Since his original endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, a good thing, billionaire tech executive Peter Thiel has expanded his company, Palantir Technology, to be the leading edge of a data-processing system.  The Palantir tech is designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to crawl through massive sets of surveillance data, phone data, facial recognition data, metadata (writ large) etc.

In essence Palantir Tech is receiving government contracts (Defense and Intel) to use the Palantir AI tools to analyze/filter a massive amount of electronic data, and take action based on results from the data, or what might be called SIGNIT (Signals Intelligence).  There are billions at stake in this relationship.

In short, Thiel has a vested financial interest in providing AI surveillance filtration tools to the U.S. government.

Ok fine. That’s just a simple acceptance of what Thiel’s company does now. And Thiel recruited JD Vance back in 2012/2013 while at Yale law school, and personally financed JD’s entry into the world of politics in 2020/2021.  I won’t repeat all the citations but suffice to say, without Thiel there is no Senator/VP Vance.  Thiel leveraged his relationship with Donald Trump to get JD Vance the Ohio primary endorsement in 2022, and the rest is history.  Fair enough. Nothing disputed.

Here’s where things get sticky….

Thiel’s company Palantir Tech provides the AI metadata analytic tools used by the U.S. government in their national security efforts.  The government access to that metadata comes, in part, as an outcome of the legislative FISA authorization.  As a consequence, eliminating, say… FISA(702) surveillance processes, is against the financial interests of Peter Thiel.  If the U.S. government cannot access the dataset, the U.S. govt doesn’t need Palantir’s AI filtration tech.  That’s just the nature of the relationship.

Mark Zuckerberg Praises Donald Trump as An American “Badass”

My, how quickly the winds can change [or do they].  Previously in order to assist his ideological travelers, specifically Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg gave the DNC a $500 million ballot harvesting operation as a gift in 2020.  It was one of the most obvious examples of election fraud facilitated.

Fast forward a full election cycle, the installed 2020 outcome, Joe Biden, is on the ropes and being isolated, ridiculed and marginalized -in part- by the same network of ideological travelers (i.e. the Obama network). 

When asked if he was going to participate in funding the goals and objectives of the political apparatus in 2024, Zuckerberg announced his intention to stay out of the game of influence, he would not be endorsing “any political candidate.”  He then went further saying what he witnessed in the assassination attempt of President Trump, “was one of the most badass things I ever witnessed in my life.” WATCH: 

.

Not only does this put the DNC at a deficit for their ballot harvesting operation; on the other side of the coin billionaire Elon Musk has pledged $45 million per month to help the RNC counteract the ballot harvesting operation of the DNC.

President Trump is well positioned to win the 2024 presidential election.  However, nothing can be taken for granted and all efforts must be maximized to ensure a secure election and get every element of the Trump movement out to vote.

A Massive Wave of IT Outages Created by Microsoft System Failures is Traced to Technical Issues With Crowdstrike

A wave of IT outages created massive problems around the world today hitting several industries hard.  Airlines seeing thousands of flight cancellations, internal and external tech systems affecting hospital banks, stock exchanges and other institutions have also been affected.  Within many operational systems, Microsoft-based computers ceased to work.

The issue was traced to Crowdstrike, a familiar tech industry name for those who remember the DNC “data breech” and the subsequent Russian conspiracy theories / accusations it spawned {GO DEEP}.

ABC NEWS – […] CrowdStrike — an American cybersecurity technology firm that provides cloud workload protection, threat intelligence and cyberattack response services — said the outage is not a due to a cyber attack; it was caused by a software issue that has been identified and a fix had been deployed.

Some systems can be fixed and back up and running immediately — but for others it “could be hours, could be a bit longer” before everything is back up and running, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz told CNBC in an on-air interview. For some customers, it will take more than rebooting systems to work through fixes.

“CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted,” Kurtz said earlier Friday.

The Mirror

Abandoned by his father to a troubled single mother; eventually raised by grandparents. He is then recruited from an Ivy league law school by shadow figures, a specific billionaire and a network of interests. He changes his name, writes a book about his life story, and with the support of the aforementioned – who eventually pays for the assembly of a strategic campaign influence network, becomes a Senator for 2 years before being quickly elevated into position in the White House.

Many people reading that paragraph would be familiar with the life story of Barack Hussien Obama. However, that paragraph also explains the right-side version of the exact same storyline, James David Vance. It’s a mirror.

On one side of the UniParty mirror we have an emotionally constructed political figure for the left.  On the other side of the UniParty mirror we have an emotionally constructed political figure for the right.  Each person, each emotional narrative, carrying the specific nuances to appeal to their wing of the UniParty audience.  However, both are following the same playbook.

It started with a conversation several weeks ago.  Who is JD Vance and where did he come from?

How does a person without any baseline in politics, not a council member, not a mayor, not a state rep – or state senate, governor etc., become a U.S. Senator and then quickly get into the White House?

What I was told sounded eerily familiar.

JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio (August 2, 1984). He then changed his name to James David Bowman. He then changed his name to James David Hamel. Eventually, in 2014, notably after Yale Law School (class of 2013) and after marrying his wife Usha, now age 30, he changed his name to write a book.

It was 2014, that’s when JD Vance was born.

Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy was published by Rupert Murdoch’s publishing house, Harper Collins in 2016. The book was made into a Netflix movie, [Reed Hastings] created by Imagine Entertainment and directed by Ron Howard (2020).  However, the interesting background on JD Vance goes back to Yale, and the Obamaesque tap on the shoulder that comes from a billionaire most are familiar with, Peter Thiel.

Thiel first recruited Vance into his circle while Vance was still a student at Yale Law School.  Shortly thereafter, Vance joined Thiel’s investment firm Mithril Capital, where he worked for two years before joining Revolution Ventures. Vance played a major role in Revolution’s “Rise of the Rest” seed fund whose major investors included Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.  {Citation}

JD Vance then launched his own venture capital firm Narya Capital in 2020, using startup money from both Peter Thiel and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Team JD Vance Begin Announcing Policy Proposals, Starting with Elon Inspired Carbon Taxes

The group who promoted, pushed and ultimately influenced the JD Vance nomination consisted of: Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Bill Ackman, David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jacob Helberg and of course, Vivek Ramaswamy.  On the inside of the Trump orbit, the network had Jason Miller and Donald Trump Jr also promoting JD Vance.

JD Vance was then invited to be an attendee at the June 6th San Francisco fundraiser for President Trump, hosted by Sacks and Palihapitiya, and that’s likely when the first one-on-one running mate discussion between President Trump and Senator Vance took place.

It is critical to remember these names because the Silicon Valley influence agents will soon be pushing their Trump-term policy agenda through Vice-President JD Vance.

We are starting to see the outlines of their JD Vance policy agenda, the points of their advocacy, starting with a carbon tax system.

[LINK]

The global carbon tax program, a tax on your personal carbon footprint, is the system for the carbon trading platform (likely tied to your digital id).  It is a large policy position of the World Economic Forum.

I’m not quite sure how well the carbon tax program would be received in the Appalachia range area.  I digress.
