LEAKED VIDEO: Google Leadership Dismayed Reaction to Trump Election

A video recorded by Google shortly after the 2016 presidential election reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the tech giant’s leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump agenda and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.

The video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands meeting following the 2016 election (these weekly meetings are known inside the company as “TGIF” or “Thank God It’s Friday” meetings). Sent to Breitbart News by an anonymous source, it features co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, VPs Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat, and CEO Sundar Pichai. It can be watched in full above. It can and should be watched in full above in order to get the full context of the meeting and the statements made.

It was reported earlier this week that Google tried to boost turnout among the Latino population to help Hillary Clinton, only to be dismayed as the usually solid Democratic voting bloc switched to the GOP in record numbers. This video shows a similar level of dismay among Google’s most high-profile figures.

These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.

Co-founder Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump supporters to fascists and extremists. Brin argues that like other extremists, Trump voters were motivated by “boredom,” which he says in the past led to fascism and communism.

The Google co-founder then asks his company to consider what it can do to ensure a “better quality of governance and decision-making.”

VP for Global Affairs Kent Walker argues that supporters of populist causes like the Trump campaign are motivated by “fear, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”

Later, Walker says that Google should fight to ensure the populist movement – not just in the U.S. but around the world – is merely a “blip” and a “hiccup” in a historical arc that “bends toward progress.”

CEO Sundar Pichai states that the company will develop machine learning and A.I. to combat what an employee described as “misinformation” shared by “low-information voters.”

Key moments from the video can be found at the following timestamps:

(00:00:00 – 00:01:12) Google co-founder Sergey Brin states that the weekly meeting is “probably not the most joyous we’ve had” and that “most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad.”
(00:00:24) Brin contrasts the disappointment of Trump’s election with his excitement at the legalization of cannabis in California, triggering laughs and applause from the audience of Google employees.
(00:01:12) Returning to seriousness, Brin says he is “deeply offen[ded]” by the election of Trump, and that the election “conflicts with many of [Google’s] values.”
(00:09:10) Trying to explain the motivations of Trump supporters, Senior VP for Global Affairs, Kent Walker concludes: “fear, not just in the United States, but around the world is fueling concerns, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”
(00:09:35) Walker goes on to describe the Trump phenomenon as a sign of “tribalism that’s self-destructive [in] the long-term.”
(00:09:55) Striking an optimistic tone, Walker assures Google employees that despite the election, “history is on our side” and that the “moral arc of history bends towards progress.”
(00:10:45) Walker approvingly quotes former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s comparison between “the world of the wall” with its “isolation and defensiveness” and the “world of the square, the piazza, the marketplace, where people come together into a community and enrich each other’s lives.”
(00:13:10) CFO Ruth Porat appears to break down in tears when discussing the election result.
(00:15:20) Porat promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values.”
(00:16:50) Stating “we all need a hug,” she then instructs the audience of Google employees to hug the person closest to them.
(00:20:24) Eileen Noughton, VP of People Operations, promises that Google’s policy team in DC is “all over” the immigration issue and that the company will “keep a close watch on it.”
(00:21:26) Noughton jokes about Google employees asking, ‘Can I move to Canada?’ after the election. She goes on to seriously discuss the options available to Google employees who wish to leave the country.
(00:23:12) Noughton does acknowledge “diversity of opinion and political persuasion” and notes that she has heard from conservative Google employees who say they “haven’t felt entirely comfortable revealing who [they] are.” and urged “tolerance.” (Several months later, the company would fire James Damore allegedly for disagreeing with progressive narratives.)
(00:27:00) Responding to a question about “filter bubbles,” Sundar Pichai promises to work towards “correcting” Google’s role in them
(00:27:30) Sergey Brin praises an audience member’s suggestion of increasing matched Google employee donations to progressive groups.
(00:34:40) Brin compares Trump voters to “extremists,” arguing for a correlation between the economic background of Trump supporters and the kinds of voters who back extremist movements. Brin says that “voting is not a rational act” and that not all of Trump’s support can be attributed to “income disparity.” He suggests that Trump voters might have been motivated by boredom rather than legitimate concerns.
(00:49:10) An employee asks if Google is willing to “invest in grassroots, hyper-local efforts to bring tools and services and understanding of Google products and knowledge” so that people can “make informed decisions that are best for themselves.” Pichai’s response: Google will ensure its “educational products” reach “segments of the population [they] are not [currently] fully reaching.”
(00:54:33) An employee asks what Google is going to do about “misinformation” and “fake news” shared by “low-information voters.” Pichai responds by stating that “investments in machine learning and AI” are a “big opportunity” to fix the problem.
(00:56:12) Responding to an audience member, Walker says Google must ensure the rise of populism doesn’t turn into “a world war or something catastrophic … and instead is a blip, a hiccup.”
(00:58:22) Brin compares Trump voters to supporters of fascism and communism, linking the former movement to “boredom,” which Brin previously linked to Trump voters. “It sort of sneaks up sometimes, really bad things” says Brin.
(01:01:15) A Google employee states: “speaking to white men, there’s an opportunity for you right now to understand your privilege” and urges employees to “go through the bias-busting training, read about privilege, read about the real history of oppression in our country.” He urges employees to “discuss the issues you are passionate about during Thanksgiving dinner and don’t back down and laugh it off when you hear the voice of oppression speak through metaphors.” Every executive on stage – the CEO, CFO, two VPs and the two Co-founders – applaud the employee.
(01:01:57) An audience member asks if the executives see “anything positive from this election result.” The audience of Google employees, and the executives on stage, burst into laughter. “Boy, that’s a really tough one right now” says Brin.

Update — After Breitbart News published this article, a Google spokesperson replied to a request for comment with the following statement:

“At a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, some Google employees and executives expressed their own personal views in the aftermath of a long and divisive election season. For over 20 years, everyone at Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these meetings. Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products. To the contrary, our products are built for everyone, and we design them with extraordinary care to be a trustworthy source of information for everyone, without regard to political viewpoint.”

WHAT HAS GOOGLE (ALPHABET, YOUTUBE, IN-QTEL, CALICO and the hundreds of Google facades) DONE WRONG?

"...Google is a criminal organization that bribes politicians; spies on the public for political manipulation; supports racism, misogyny, sex deviance and prostitutes among its staff; operates cult procedures in it's HR program; operates tax evasion and real estate money laundering schemes; is one of the largest 'Dark Money' covert crony campaign financiers the world; manipulates stock market and public news information; sells fake traffic to advertisers and engages in numerous white collar crimes..."

"...Larry Page (and his boyfriend Elon Musk), Eric Schmidt, Jared Cohen, Sergey Brin and their venture capitalists are sick sociopaths. They do not care what you, the FBI, Congress or any version of the law thinks about them. They process ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A DAY through their accounting departments. They can afford any gay sex rent boy or dominatrix prostitute any time they want one. They can buy an entire commercial jet on their credit card. They own almost every senator in California. They do not care what you, or anyone on Earth thinks about them. They only care about cash and power. They plot and conspire to control the government, news and information in order to keep that cash and power. They use CIA, Stasi and Masison Avenue mind tricks to do their dirty deeds in plain sight using technologies that no average citizen can comprehend!..."

Google has more power than the EU or the U.S. Government and, essentially, operates as it's own monopolistic out-of-control rogue government within domestic borders.

- While Facebook has consumed recent information manipulation scandal head-lines, the illicit activities behind Google make Facebook pale in comparison.

- Tens of thousands of news articles and federal reports confirm that Google receives a very large sum of assets and cash from the intelligence community monthly.

- While Google pitched the government on Google’s ability to ‘help catch bad guys’, that is, in fact not what Google is doing with the money. Almost every attempt to use Google technology at the CIA, DIA and NSA has resulted in either 1.) spectacular failure or 2.) wild goose chases.

- Google operates one of the largest ‘Pass-Along Payola’ scams ever deployed. In this scam 1.) Taxpayer money from The Treasury is, 2.) ...Given to crony corruption insider Google, 3.) ...Who then conduits the money, as covert campaign funds, to the corrupt political officials who got Google the government deals in the first place.

- The Google Pass-Along Payola scam is endless, getting bigger and requires Congressional action to break the chain.

- There are over 100 ex-Google employees and deeply credentialed experts who can testify to these facts but they have been blockaded, by Google lobbyists and dirty politicians, from public testimony.

- For example, Dr. Robert Epstein, James Damore, Ronald Robertson, Laura Ingraham and a host of others, have publicly offered hard facts proving the assertions herein but they have never been interviewed by Congressional staff in an office not under surveillance or in a live televised Congressional hearing. A full disclosure of what these ‘over 100’ people know would put Google out-of-business rather quickly.

- Google pitched government officials about their ability to ‘...start and operate a political revolution in any venue, domestic or overseas, cause members of the public to become angry enough to kill targeted other members of the public and create and operate these effects in an undetectable manner using subliminal psychological manipulation tricks amplified by Google’s control of the internet connected to the mass population...’. This means that Google has admitted to rigging elections and politics.

- While that service premise may cause concern at first read, what should cause even more concern are the dossiers and psychological profiles of Google’s Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Jared Cohen, and Sergy Brin. Their deeply emotional involvement in their shared personal politics combined with their utter disregard for the law makes one wonder about how far they will go in their ‘means justifies the ends’ cult like devotion to ‘The Google Process’.

- With an extremist culture, filtered HR programs that seek 'like minded employees', a willingness to discuss the need for "coup d-eta's, an endless supply of government cash and an ownership bent on total political control of their singular ideology, should this not cause concern?'

- Google used these tactics and technologies to place Barack Obama in the White House. That is why the Obama White House was so deeply staffed by Google employees and executives. Senior FBI and CIA officials, like Comey and Brennan, knew of this and covered it up.

- If you look on PACER.GOV you will see that Google has an extraordinary number of lawsuits filed against it for stealing the technology of others. Many of these lawsuits refer to Google as a racketeering "cartel'. Google has no concern for the law, business ethics or the rights of others. The Google cartel owns hundreds of front operations disguised under different high tech names.

- 90% of the employees at Google are oblivious to, and hidden from, the machinations of Google’s owners. They are solicited by the cult of Google with free food, ‘coolness’, gadgets and a programmed echo-chamber cult-like HR process which requires ‘mindfulness training’ and ‘Community organizing’ outreach. Google is more Rajneesh and Scientology than they are science. The DOJ Cult Intervention Team should be deeply examining the abuse of young Millennial Google employees

- The most critically important point and the key take-away here is this: Google bosses have built a system to subliminally control the impressions of the public, spy on the public for political control and operate a self-sustaining government payola scam and they do this with impunity, zero monitoring and in one of the grossest violations of morality and human rights ever conceived.

- The next most critical take-away here is: If you are an average person, it is technically nearly impossible for you to comprehend or notice what the crimes are that Google is doing. That is the magic of their scheme.

Regarding elections, Epstein and Robertson have found in multiple studies that search rankings that favor a political candidate drive the votes of undecided voters toward that candidate, an effect they call SEME ("seem"), the Search Engine Manipulation Effect. As a result, Dr. Epstein has called for the regulation and monitoring of search engines. Without equal-time rules of the sort that protect political candidates in other media domains, he says, biased search rankings exercise undue influence over voter's opinions - influence that cannot be counteracted by individual candidates but that can easily determine who will win a close election.

Epstein and Robertson's la ndmark report about SEME, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2015, can be downloaded here. As of January 2018, it had been downloaded more than 90,000 times from PNAS's website and was ranked by PNAS to be in the top 1 percent of all reports the organization monitored in all the sciences.

Dr. Epstein's Politico essay, "How Google Could Rig the 2016 Election," can be downloaded here. Dr. Epstein's preview of his upcoming book, "The New Mind Control," published in Aeon magazine - which has been viewed more than 250,000 times - can be downloaded here.

Dr. Epstein also recently discovered a simple yet powerful way that search suggestions can be used to shift opinions and votes, an effect he calls the Search Suggestion Effect (SSE). An initial report about his research on this topic can be viewed here.

In a series of articles in distinguished publications - "Google's Dance" (TIME), "Google's Gotcha" (U.S. News & World Report), "Google's Snoops" (Dissent), "The New Censorship" (U.S. News & World Report), and other essays - Dr. Epstein has also been critical of various aspects of the operations and business model of Google, Inc., which he says pose a serious threat to civil liberties.
