Getting the axe by Google, in other words, means that sites will potentially be cut off from their primary revenue streams simply for offering a different perspective on the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">While the new rule will supposedly only apply to specific pages on a web platform that discuss the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), Google added the caveat that \u201cin cases where a particular site publishes a certain threshold of material that violates these policies, it will ban the entire site from using its ad platforms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">According to <em>CNBC<\/em>, one of the mainstream fake news outlets that made the announcement on behalf of Google, these changes are necessary to help steer the general public towards the \u201cauthoritative scientific consensus\u201d on the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201c[B]anned claims,\u201d <em>CNBC<\/em> further indicated, \u201cwould include conspiracy theories like vaccines being attempts to genetically modify the population, that Bill Gates created Covid-19 or that the disease was a bioweapon created in a Chinese lab.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This latter bullet point is anomalous considering that <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-05-24-chinese-bioweapon-study-coronavirus-uniquely-adapted-human-pathogen.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>a peer-reviewed study<\/strong><\/span><\/a> confirmed that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is unnatural and likely came from the <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/english.whiov.cas.cn\/\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Wuhan Institute of Virology<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Google sides with communist China in pushing CCP\u2019s version of events as fact<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><em>CNBC<\/em> must also think that the \u201cFive Eyes\u201d intelligence agencies, which include those in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, are also \u201cconspiracy theories,\u201d as they, too, indicated back in April that they were looking into the suspicious origins of the novel virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">These agencies, as reported by <em>Zero Hedge<\/em> back at the time, had been \u201clooking closely at the work of a senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Peng Zhou, as they examine whether COVID-19 originated from a wet market or whether the naturally \u2013 occurring virus may have been released from the level four laboratory in Wuhan that was studying deadly coronavirus pathogens from bats.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It would seem as though the \u201cauthoritative scientific consensus\u201d as defined by <em>CNBC<\/em> and Google actually originates in communist China, which is steering the narrative away from the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">One wonders if Google is also planning to censor and demonetize the unscientific assessments of some 1,200 so-called experts who are on record as claiming that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) did not spread during the George Floyd riots, but is spreading at churches and grocery stores frequented by otherwise law-abiding citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Our guess is <em>no<\/em> because Google has repeatedly made it clear that its \u201cpolicies\u201d are politically one-sided and always stacked against its opposition.

They are not the ones choosing to not have their ads appear on politically incorrect websites, but rather it is Google that is acting as the all-seeing, all-knowing gatekeeper in deciding who gets paid and who gets financially starved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cI wonder why this is so important to the executives of Google,\u201d asked one <em>Zero Hedge<\/em> commenter. \u201cFacts so strong you are not allowed to question or investigate them?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">More news about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is available at <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/pandemic.news\">Pandemic.news<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Sources for this article include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/google-will-ban-ads-sites-publishing-debunked-coronavirus-theories\">ZeroHedge.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-05-24-chinese-bioweapon-study-coronavirus-uniquely-adapted-human-pathogen.html\">NaturalNews.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2020-07-21-google-now-ranking-truthiness-websites-coronavirus.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obey or be silenced<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":156744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-210788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-controlling-the-news-andor-the-free-exchange-of-ideas-and-information"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=210788"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210790,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210788\/revisions\/210790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/156744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=210788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=210788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=210788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
