Google Caught In Terror Storm Censorship<br>Viewing totals reset despite runaway popularity of Alex Jones video<br><br>Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | September 25 2006<br><br>Google is again embroiled in a censorship farce after its Google Video sub-division was caught altering viewing statistics for Alex Jones' Terror Storm documentary, resetting runaway growth curbs to prevent the video making the website's top ten and its online viewership exploding exponentially.<br><br>Following last week's buzz about Terror Storm being available for viewing free on Google Video, numerous websites linked to our promo page and as a result viewing figures for all versions of Terror Storm at Google Video began to climb rapidly.<br><br>However, upon checking the same viewer figures on Sunday, Alex Jones noticed that many had been reset to zero and had only begun to climb into the hundreds and early thousands, nowhere near their previous levels of tens and hundreds of thousands for the previous days. The trends had been artificially reversed and this prevented Terror Storm from entering the top ten list of Google Video which would have ensured an explosion of further circulation of the video.<br><br>As you can see from the screenshot a reader e mailed us below, Terror Storm was being highlighted as one of Google Video's most popular selections and was heading for the top ten, until late Saturday/early Sunday when viewership totals for the video were inexplicably reset.<br><br><br>CLICK TO ENLARGE<br><br>Is this another mistake on the part of Google or is it an attempt to minimize the impact of Terror Storm and prevent it from mirroring the same online presence as Loose Change?<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>"The DVD of the resistance!" Get TerrorStorm on DVD today! Subscribe to Prison Planet.tv and see it in high quality or watch it for free at Google Video.<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>This is not the first time we have caught Google engaging in censorship of Alex Jones and his websites.<br><br>During our Charlie Sheen coverage, Google intentionally blocked news stories pertaining to Sheen's comments which were first made on the Alex Jones Show and turned into a nationwide media spectacle.<br><br>Even after the story had gone supernova, and our original write-up had been linked all over the web, including the Drudge Report, Google's main search engine did not list the article.<br><br>After we blew the whistle on this act of censorship, the story was re-listed and Google even began carrying some of our content in their news section - a practice that has now also ceased.<br><br>Google's penchant for abandoning their founding principle of "don't be evil" and kissing up to Communist China for privileged access into the world's biggest untapped Internet market, was exemplified in February this when Google completely erased the Space War website from its search engine. Space War is a large mainstream news website that carries articles about geopolitics and the defense industry from AFP.<br><br>Space War speculated that it was their reporting on advancements in China's military technology and missile programs that provoked a censorship order from the totalitarian Chinese government which Google acted upon. Again, after a mass e mailing campaign which we fully supported, Google re-indexed the Space War website.<br><br>We hope that by drawing attention to this matter Google will remedy the artificial alteration, whether a result of technical gremlins or deliberate censorship, and enable an accurate and true reflection of the growth and popularity of Terror Storm. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> Dont you find it comforting for once ?<br><br> I mean, the fact that these fucks are in a serious dilemna here ?<br><br> They want to, and do , make money out of the technological miracle that is the internet, but at the same time are shit scared of what this entails.<br><br> In 1947, there was a crash at Roswell. Courtesy of that crash we were furnished with among other things, the silicone chip.<br><br> Courtesy of that chip, we got the internet. <br><br> Courtesy of the internet, and for the first time in approximately ever, we have access to uncensored information.<br><br> Whats that Chinese quote about living in interesting times ? <p></p><i></i>
