INTRODUCTION by The M+G+R Foundation
Although this interview is focused on the U.S. Presidential Elections
of November 8, 2016, our purpose in making it available to our readers is not about politics. Our
purpose is to illustrate how technology has changed our world,
dissolved the little democracy that could be found on Earth and has,
essentially, returned us to an Absolute Monarchical System - with
Google unquestionably wearing the Imperial Crown.
As you read the entire interview, keep in mind that Dr. Epstein is as
pro-Clinton as anyone could be, but he has not allowed that to cloud
his professional vision of a much bigger issue: Technology Rules Supreme.
If Google is Emperor, then, under it are Microsoft, Apple, Facebook,
Twitter, etc., the Feudal Lords of our time. Not as powerful as the
Emperor but, nonetheless, wield the power to influence the minds of
their subjects.
Our Comments and Conclusions may be found at the
end of the interview since, only after internalizing the disturbing
realities Dr. Epstein highlights, the reader will fully understand them.
The
Interview With Dr. Robert Epstein
People trust the “unbiased” internet search giant Google so much it can
actually influence up to 10 million undecided voters to choose Hillary
Clinton for president, prominent US psychologist and author Robert
Epstein told RT following years of research.
Despite being a supporter of the Democratic presidential nominee, Dr.
Epstein believes Google’s unchecked algorithm of placing one candidate
over the other in search results constitutes a “threat to democracy.”
RT: Robert, how did you
discover that Google is possibly in cahoots with the Clinton campaign?
RE: Well I didn’t find out that
they were necessarily supporting Hillary Clinton, that’s not what I
found at first. First, through several years of research, I found that
they had the power to control elections, the power to shift the votes.
So, that was more than four years of experimental research with more
than 10,000 people in 39 countries.
So, we established through some very careful experiments that by
favoring one candidate in search rankings Google can shift a lot of
votes. More than 20 percent of undecided voters overall, and in some
demographic groups up to 80 percent of undecided voters. People trust
search rankings so much that if one candidate is favored in search
rankings that shifts peoples’ votes.
Now, more recently, many people have established that Google has a very
close relationship with Hillary Clinton. That didn’t come from my
research, that came from all kinds of investigative research by many
people.
RT: Are you going to take a
look at Facebook and Twitter as well? It looks like social media play
an even bigger role in the elections than televised debates.
RE: Well, we know now that
Facebook has the power to shift about 600,000 votes to Hillary Clinton
on Election Day with no one knowing this is occurring. All they have to
do is send out “Go out and vote” reminders to Hillary Clinton’s
supporters, but not to Trump’s supporters. That would cause a lot of
people to vote who would otherwise stay home. So yes, we’ve looked at
Facebook, we’ve looked at Twitter. But again, Facebook can shift
600,000 votes, Google can shift somewhere between 2.6 and 10.4 million
votes.
RT: Have you been able to find
abnormal search results by Google in some other countries intended to
influence the outcome of elections?
RE: We haven’t look carefully
at too many countries. We’ve looked at the UK election in 2015, we
looked at the national election in India, at the Lok Sabha election in
2014. What we do know is that it is the nature of Google’s algorithm to
put one candidate ahead of another. That happens automatically. That
happens, as Google would say, organically. So, this means that Google’s
algorithm has probably been determining the outcomes of close elections
around the world for many years, probably actually controlling the
winner in as many as 25 percent of the national elections of the world.
RT: What do you think about
this threat of big data? Do you think Google and other search engines
analyses all search results by an individual for a good purpose?
RE: Well, big data at the
moment is a threat. It’s a threat to democracy, at least as we have it
in the United States, it’s a threat to human freedom, it’s a threat to
civil liberties. This is mainly because the technologies are very new,
and new means of control, of surveillance, of manipulation are being
developed which at the moment are not regulated – they’re not covered
by any laws or regulations. So, the problem is that these technologies
have developed quickly, and we have not developed systems for
monitoring these technologies, we’ve not developed systems for
regulating these technologies. Obviously, we must do so.
RT: You’ve said that unlike
Europe, Russia and China were able to overcome the Google monopoly, but
a lot of people are still using this search engine. Do you think that
the US company can manipulate public opinion in Russia as well?
RE: Well, it’s hard for them to
manipulate opinion if they don’t dominate that country. Google
dominates most of the countries in the world. The only countries it
doesn’t dominate are Russia and China. So, Russia and China are
protected a little bit from Google, but Russia and China have their own
problems. Russia has Yandex, China has Baidu, and these companies can
use techniques just as the ones that Google is using and perhaps
they’re already using these techniques. These techniques can be used by
any big tech company that provides a search engine. These techniques
can be used by any big tech company that provides search suggestions.
My newest research shows, for example, that Google seems to be favoring
Hillary Clinton in its search suggestions, the suggestions it gives you
when you first start to type an item, and from new research I’ve done,
we know that if you suppress negative search suggestions from one
candidate, that shifts votes and opinions towards that candidate. So,
Google is not the only problem. Any of these big tech companies can use
these techniques for surveillance, for manipulation, for control, and I
think we have to be concerned about the big tech industries in general
around the world, not just Google.
RT: How do you oppose such
great power being wielded by one corporation like Google?
RE: Well, the problem with a
lot of power being in the hands of one company is that the private
company is not answerable to the public. The private company does not
have people who we voted on. The private company might be run almost
like a monarchy, with the CEO having enormous power and the public
having no say whatsoever in what they do, even not having access to
their internal records. So we would have no idea of exactly what
they’re doing or how they’re doing it and how they’re making decisions.
This is potentially very dangerous. The situation right now is
unprecedented in human history. There has never been so much power
placed in the hands of so few people who are beyond the reach of any
laws, beyond the reach of any regulations, and who don’t necessarily
have the public interest in mind.
RT: What about Donald Trump? In
your opinion, what methods and tricks has Donald Trump and his loyal
media used in this presidential race?
RE: Well, I’ve said in writing,
repeatedly and in many interviews that I’m a very strong supporter of
Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is by far the better candidate, Donald
Trump is a very weak candidate, he would not make a good leader, he
would not make a good president. Plus, I know people in his family, it
makes no sense to me that he is even running for president, I don’t
think he wants to be president! I think he just wants to increase his
celebrity so that he can start his own television network, and I think
that steps are now already being taken for him to do that.
I made a prediction on Twitter recently, you can check this: I not only
have predicted that he will set up his own television network but that
he will launch his network with a guaranteed hit show. It will be a
reality TV show about Donald Trump running for president, and that will
be a hit show, so I think that’s his only interest here. Hillary
Clinton will become our next president, it’s guaranteed and in my
opinion Donald Trump has no interest, never had any interest in
becoming president.
RT: Do you believe that Hillary
Clinton will become US president through the manipulation of public
opinion?
RE: Oh, Hillary Clinton is
guaranteed to win this election, and I have said previously based on
polls that seem to show a kind of a close vote, that those polls did
not take into account the power that Google and other companies have to
shift votes. That’s missing from these polls. So, once you realize the
power that these companies have, Hillary Clinton is absolutely
guaranteed to win, and she will win in the margin of somewhere between
2.6 million and 10 million votes. If we take the mean, the average of
those two numbers, I guess you could say it’s pretty clear that she
will win by approximately 6.5 million votes.
RT: Given that the United
States has such an expensive and powerful media industry, would you say
that voters in the US have a real picture of the presidential campaign?
RE: Well, voters in the United
States I think do get a pretty good picture because we have so many
different kinds of media and people are just bombarded with information
from newspapers, magazines and the internet, more than 400 different
television channels. So I think we do get a pretty complex and deep
picture of things, but you have to remember that all of these forms of
media are competitive. So, we’re getting one perspective from one
magazine, another perspective from another magazine.
But when you come to something like Google, there’s no competition.
There’s no competitor. It’s a completely different kind of influence,
it’s non-competitive. In other words, if you’re still trying to make up
your mind and you go to Google and ask a question about the candidates
or about some sort of issue related to the election, Google will show
you whatever it wants to show you and that can easily, easily tip your
opinion one way or the other and there’s no competitor, there’s no way
for anyone to compensate what Google just told you.
So, this is a completely new and very dangerous kind of influence. It
has no competition, there’s no corrective for it, and people trust
Google – we know this from surveys – people trust Google more than they
trust any newspaper, any magazine or any television station. People
trust information that they get from a computer much more than
information they’re getting from television or a newspaper because they
know that television and newspapers are biased, because they know that
people are actually giving them the information. But when they get
information out of a computer they mistakenly believe that that
information is impartial, that information is objective and of course,
that’s not really true, but that’s what people believe.

COMMENTS/CONCLUSION
After reviewing the above interview we are sure that you now fully
understand that the uncontrolled mass manipulation is not only here to
stay but increasing significantly every day that goes by.
That is, the minds of the whole world population is in the hands of
very few individuals who do not have to account to anyone except God,
even if they do not believe in God.
Just think about what marketing techniques have achieved in the last 25
years only using radio, TV, billboards, product placing and
distribution in markets and stores, subliminal advertising, etc. They
even create needs that we do not have just in order to sell a new
product. To that now add the subtle, yet powerful, influence that
Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, violent video games, etc.
have.
The only solution left to God in order to prevent the loss of the Elect
- even after He has shortened 'those days' - is to neutralize the
Internet, thus, the effect of Emperor Google and its Royal court. The
one and most effective way of achieving this is through an
Electromagnetic Pulse - also known as EMP.
EMP may be triggered by a magnetic upheaval in the Sun or by the
surgical use of nuclear weapons (3). In either
case, it will be allowed by God, not caused, but allowed - just as He
allowed the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot - for the benefit of
the Elect.
This has become such a crystal clear reality to us, that we are
preparing for it without any delay. Blessedly is simple and inexpensive
if one knows what to do (4).
