Video: Whistle-Blower Exposes Google’s Political Inequity And US Election Manipulation
An investigative Journalism group Project Veritas has posted hoards of more than 950 documents from Google insider Zachary Vorhies, who has gone public with allegations of election manipulation and political bias against the Tech giant.
According to Project Veritas, whistleblower Zachary Vorhies stated that he has come forward because he saw something ill-lit and iniquitous going on with google after he realized that they were going to not only tamper with the US elections but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States.

Vorhies told Project Veritas that:
“I gave the documents to Project Veritas, I had been collecting the documents for over a year. And the reason why I collected these documents was that I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that there were going to not only tamper with the elections but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States.”
According to Project Veritas, which in June this year, had leaked a number of internal Google documents exposing Google’s algorithmic unfairness in search rankings, now Vorhies is claiming that the documents he shared were widely available to Google employees
“These documents were available to every single employee within the company that was full-time. And so as a fulltime employee at the company, I just searched for some keywords and these documents started to pop up. And so once I started finding one document and started finding keywords for other documents and I would enter that in and continue this cycle until I had a treasure trove and archive of documents that clearly spelled out the system, what they’re attempting to do in very clear language.”
In the documents provided by Vorhies to project Veritas, they contain a number of files of concern for conservatives, one of which is called ‘news blacklist site for Google Now’ which Vorhies alleges that is a shadowban that restricts News feeds from some websites on Android Google products.
According to the whistleblower, the list includes a number of both conservative and leftist websites including newsbusters.org and mediamatters.org who were added to the list because of a high user block rate.
Another document titled ‘Fringe ranking/classifier: Defining channel quality’ compiled a ranking of various news sites by Google’s level of trustworthiness.
In yet another document titled ‘Fake news & other fringes: Trashy recap’ stated that videos on Google’s platforms are rated by multiple human raters. Another internal document labeled “coffee beans” shows alleged Google employees discussing diversity hiring practices at the firm.
Another internal discussion thread appears to show Google employees discussing how best to change the translation of President Trump’s infamous “covfefe” tweet.
According to Project Veritas, Vorhies told them that he hopes more Google workers come forward to discuss the practices of big tech firms.
“My message to those that are on the fence is I released the documents. They can go in, they can see everything that Google is doing and then they can see the scale of it. Because I think that there’s a lot of engineers that have a hint that things are wrong, but they don’t understand the colossal scale that it’s at. And so for those people, I say, look at the documents, take the pulse of America, see what’s happening and come and tell the world you know what you already know to be true.”
