That causes me some internal conflict to, on the one hand I empathize with them over vaccine mandates, on the other hand as they chose to work for Google they’re no better than camp guards IMO, if they truly had any principles they’d resign from Google.
Alphabet’s (agency) subdivision Google (the privatised spy agency) employees are more akin to stasi than camp guards.
perhaps virtual neighbourhood natsoc wardens?
I’m rather glad their Woke inclusiveness is biting them on the arse.
For sure Scotty…
And why not start discovering an alternate route to valuable information…?
Google has been manipulating its search results for years especially on controversial topics such as elections, contentious policy and COVID facts.
This becomes quite evident when comparing Google’s search results to say its competitor search engines, such as DuckDuckGo and MetaGer.
Try the alternatives and see?
https://metager.org/
https://duckduckgo.com/
And yes Google from the beginning has had a nefarious agenda…

Now sing with me…

Even Bing is much better, it has somehow largely stayed out of censorship.
I wonder if the founders of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. always held these woke views …. Or, as they got bigger and more powerful, they learned that it pays to “play ball” with the government and the oligarchs. “Playing ball” provides protection and also helps eliminate the threat of competition which would take away their market share.
I have noted that Twitter seemed like a great “free speech” forum in its early years. However, its share price never went up. Then it takes an obvious turn toward enforcing the Establishment’s narrative and suddenly the stock price soars.
Why can’t religious employers now enquire as to the abortion medical history of their potential employees?
Because the religious, in general, are on the losing side in the war that is currently being waged globally.
I understand we are supposed to pretend that the only culture war being waged is the one supposedly whipped up by “divisive” religious and other conservatives.
Don’t forget birth control.
Needs to be more but well done those Gulag employees.
I doubt if they will have much support from their fellow workers.
Within such a wide ranging company, enjoying near monopoly in many sectors, aggrieved workers have nowhere else to go. Their competitors are not other firms but their own colleagues.
Perhaps they might join an ecofriedly, sustainable, startup cooperative.
“whether they plan to work in the office or not.”
Another clear indication that this has nothing to do with health.
Google would stand to win a lot of business and make a lot of money if every country adopts National IDs. Data is oil.
Where are IBM in all this? That company was kickstarted in the 1930s tasked to harvest and processing vast amounts of data on people for the new Nazi regime in Germany.
Using a revolutionary system of automatic card punching machines that could categorise their enemies into a dozen or more classifications.
Left wing > punch○
Communist > punch○
Jewish > punch○
Anti regime sentiments > punch ○
Gypsy > punch ○
Homosexual > punch○
Itinerant > punch ○
Upset a Senior Party Member > punch .○
Suspect Party Member > punch ○
Physically Retarded > punch ○
Mentally Deficient > punch ○
Family of any of the above > punch ○
Using any combination of the above data would effortlessly allow an operative to decide which route to send each victim and keep permanent records of who went where and when. Some of that information no doubt ending up with prosecutors at Nuremberg.
“How many homosexual Jewish Communists we got Herman?”
mere moments later
“15 Today Hans”
“Ok, they’re for that truck over there”
“Two of them are itinerant also Hans”
“Is ok, send them anyway”
Google, of course has already purged the non-pc leftists from its ranks.
Even so, a mere 600 out of 150,000 opposing the clear evil of coerced “medical” treatment for a spurious health “emergency” is a pretty stark indication of where Google’s employee base broadly stands.
“The tech giant is requiring its more than 150,000 U.S. employees to report their vaccination statuses and all employees who work directly or indirectly with government contracts to be vaccinated, whether they plan to work in the office or not. “
This appears to be aimed at having supposed state coercion as a fall-back excuse, to allow the decision-makers to claim their actions were forced by US regime policies.
Why do the global elite want to kill or seriously injure their useful idiots?
I don’t think many will be killed or seriously injured.
It’s a good way for Google to virtue signal and to weed out unbelievers at the same time.
I agree with your second sentence but not your first. No one has any idea how many will be killed or injured by these injections.
Well it’s certainly a risk, and of course I cannot foretell the future. They don’t seem overly good for people, but no evidence so far that it’s going to kill a societally significant number of people. But I won’t be getting jabbed any time soon.
‘Societally significant number of people’. What percent of the population is that?
A bit subjective, I suppose, but for sure a lot more than covid kills.
Well that’s a good question. I don’t think it will be a high enough number for it to be noticed. I certainly hope that’s the case. But as you say, we simply don’t know what the long term effects are nor what repeated doses will do.
Official records show over 50,000 dead in the US, UK and the EU. Thats probably 500,000 when considering the considerable level of under reporting and cause of death misattribution – and its not even been going a year yet..
Per a story at the DS, deaths from all causes for those aged 15 to 19 are up about 45 percent YoY since teenagers started getting jabbed. I’m reading stories (and seeing interviews with undertakers) that the number of still born children has increased dramatically.
I’m hearing all kind of stories about fairly young people dying of different causes (non-COVID). Hospitals are “overflowing” with Covid and non-Covid patients.
In short, it’s possible the number of deaths might be significant and too noticeable for even the mainstream press to ignore.
Perhaps not a definite idea, but a pretty good guess that it won’t be good for a lot of people.
Anyone remember this.
When sundar became CEO this was abolished with immediate effect.
Good is evil. Evil is good.
Usual government, big tech and media inversion. People honestly believe the regimes around the world care about their health and wellbeing.
How many of the rest have yet to read Kennedy’s exposée of the malfeasance that brought the vaccines and mandates while denying early and effective treatment with existing out of patent drugs?
The book also name checks Will Jones, maybe it would be a good idea to return the complement by pointing out that the Kindle version is only £2.99 until the 30th November.
Hard cover on order for Christmas.
Currently unavailable in hard copy for immediate delivery at all the outlets I know of, except absurdly expensive US imports. Kindle available, obviously.
Yet another Kennedy to be assassinated?
am reading it got extra copies too
If some of the more extreme predictions of credible scientists and doctors manifest themselves, in that clotshots will cause the deaths of, possibly, billions over the next 5 years, Google won’t be functioning for too much longer.
I’m pretty sure they don’t shoot themselves in the foot. My guess is that actually AI is ready for full operation and actually they don’t even need so much people anymore.
Extremes probably won’t happen. Death rate will go up somewhat. As a species, we can live with a much higher death rate, as we did for much of recorded history.
Sickness and invalid rates will go up, and that will cost surviving workers more.
Environmentalists will welcome the thinning of the human species…
You mean the unconstitutional rule that Biden tried to enforce via OSHA that just recently got slammed by the Federal Courts?
Once they see governments getting away with it, businesses are sure to try and increase their control over their employees. If I worked for Google, I would tell them where to stick their mandates, and if they still don’t know…well google where the sun don’t shine.
< 1 yr old all cause deaths spiked this last week (71) its the highest in at least the last 3 years as far as I can see

Into the valley of death rode the 600…
Good luck to them but 0.4% of the workforce won’t achieve much.
So, 600 new job openings at Google?
Doubtless, in due course. But if you’re thinking of applying, you’re going to need to have had remarkably good tech anonymity skills and practices, to prevent them from finding out you’ve posted here…..
Is it legal in the US for companies to demand details of employees personal medical issues?
Dear Scumbags, THIS is what you are being distracted from today.
This is the only time I have seen a post from you that was worth the time of day.
“Dear Scumbags, THIS is what you are being distracted from today.”
So just let me get this straight. Toby Young is using an outlet he set up and runs to distract from amendments to a Bill that another of the outfits he set up and runs called “horrific” in toto:
“Policing speechProfessor Andrew Tettenborn, a member of the FSU’s Legal Advisory Council, argues that the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which passed its second reading this week, will not only give “police worryingly unlimited power to suppress public protests” but could also “criminalise almost any public speech online, in posters or for that matter in newspapers, if enough people are prepared to complain about it”. The implications of this are so horrific, he says, that any progress on free speech made by groups such as the FSU could be rolled back all at once by “this catch-all provision apt to catch any speech where a pressure group can whip up enough of its supporters to say they are seriously distressed by it”.”

Gosh, these evil closet totalitarians pretending to be liberty campaigners are so devious! I don’t know how you conspiracy theorists manage to keep up with them so well, but I take my hat off to you!
I bet if you “Google” this story it comes up on page 18 of the search.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
They will all be classified as Covid deaths and used to justify forcible vaxxing of the last vax refusenik.
Only 600 out of 150 000. That stat doesn’t leave me with hope. I know to work for Google you need to prove very high levels of intelligence although have learned in the last two years that intelligence does not equal ability to detect BS. Or are those who work for Google a self selected bunch of uber brainwashed due to being immersed in a big spy operation on a daily basis?
Will Google give a shit?
Nah.
