Google Declares Angela Merkel ‘Leader of the Free World’

73

For the leftist political and media elites, Angela Merkel is the leader of the world, but their world isn’t free. The world of Google and CNN and Facebook and the New York Times and Twitter and the rest of them is one of socialist internationalism, open borders, submission to sharia, and suppression of free speech. “Free world”? Google and its allies, and Merkel, are the ones trying to destroy the free world.

“Google Declares Angela Merkel ‘Leader of the Free World,’” by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, August 3, 2018:

Thanks to its reliance on information from Wikipedia, the top Google search result for “leader of the free world” is not the President of the United States, with whom the term is normally associated, but crisis-engulfed German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Story continues below advertisement

Searches for the term currently return a picture of Merkel as the top result, and two links to the Wikipedia page on “free world.” Immediately following those results is a CNN opinion piece stating that President Trump is “no longer leader of the free world.”

The top result scrapes information from Wikipedia, which notes that the English-language establishment media has increasingly used the term “leader of the free world” in connection with Chancellor Merkel. This is true — although it says more about the media’s bias than it does about Merkel, whose long dominance over German politics appears to be on the verge of breakdown.

The Wikipedia page also notes that German commentators, as well as a leading member of Merkel’s own political party, have largely disagreed with the western media’s assessment and that Merkel herself has “rejected the idea as absurd.” Strangely, none of that information made it to the Google results.

Google’s dependence on information from Wikipedia to populate the top of its search results has landed the company in trouble with Republican politicians in the U.S. after it resulted in the California GOP being smeared as a “Nazi” party in the top result of Google searches. Following this incident, a conservative activist demonstrated how easy it was to game Google’s search results when they successfully listed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as a “world-renowned lib owner” in search results. (“Own” is internet slang for the domination or humiliation of an opponent.)…

Google declares Fuhrer Merkel the leader of the free world; it is nothing but pure fantasy and conjuring on the part of Google. Firstly, the alleged free world does not exist, thanks to the despotism of Merkel and her EU sycophants. Secondly, the EU is an autocracy, not a democracy, ran by a self-aggrandizing, loathsome Globalists. Thirdly, one should hold no faith or credibility in Google.

Fuhrer Merkel has achieved that, which Fuhrer Hitler could not, conquering Europe, a so-called alliance without firing a shot. Retaining many of the heinous decrees of Hitler’s Third Reich, especially anti-Semitism, despotism, and dominating the world. Once again, the myth spinner Google betrays its base tenets, lies over fact, deploying its Globalist principles to affect the liberal progressives and other aspirant totalitarians. In the end, Merkel and her court will fall to Islam; Europe, no longer autocratic, subjugated to a theocracy, Islam.

This attempt to “big up” mutti Merkel seems intended to be the “comfort blanket” or “cuddly” generation “Snowflake” needs because of all those “horrible” people getting elected recently who actually believe IN something positive – like the repair and continuation of the nation state and a recognisable western civilisation.

These tales told about Merkel are not true no matter how many times those with selective vision and memory repeat them, the record of compliance by the elected western compromised elites with the aims of Islamic terrorists is truly shocking and a disgrace to any one of them who had a shred of decency in them, but of course all that will and is being “glossed over” – and by the same people who publish offensive tripe like this report too.

A Nuremberg-modeled arrest, trial, conviction and later, execution, should be tried first, to find out just who lunatic fanaticism has been in control of this woman’s mind.

Trouble is, even after the details came out in 1948, Europe (and the rest of the world) hasn’t learned a derned-tootin’ thing about despots!

It hasn’t learned anything about the likes of “good old Uncle Joe” Stalin and those who are modeling the future after his example of leadership.

No, it was not rigged. German men cannot produce children and German women prefer Muslim apes with big balls. What it eans is that Germans want to be slaves. This is typical biological degeneration as is well known from genetic studies. White Europeans are just not fit to survive.
In the US it is still different but also hopeless in the long run.
People cannot survive without religion. As soon as the Christianity, good or bad, to a large extent died, as it happened under Hitler in Europe, Europe died in the historical perspective, As soon as the Evangelists will be subverted in the US and South America, they will start falling to Islam filling the vacuum. This is the law of Cosmos.

Muslims using their white slaves are trying to dominate mass social media. Muslims dont create anything never have but extremely adroit in using creations of peoples they conquered; Caucasians, Indians, Jews. For instance Turks never built new cannons but had had cannons as good as the Brits and Russians. They just got them by money robbed from the slave peoples of Turkish Empires. The same is modern Turkey and Arabs weaponized to the teeth by most advanced products from West and USA. Also, not much from Russia. Their new prime objective is to penetrate and dominate mass social media. Since their financial resources are infinite they can bribe and buy anything in the US and now they focus on mass media, TV but primarily Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc. During the eight years of Hussein in WH the had been introduced to the most advanced mass media social media tools and software ever developed and hired hundreds, maybe thousands of software developers and hackers from the creative non-Muslim world populace. At the same time they invented an adroit cunning diversion by spreading through their top slaves operatives in London and Washington that the danger is Russia and Putin meddling. This is total bull. Russia has no financial or technological resources to sway voters in the US with population of 400 mln people and economy 20 times of the Russian economy. But the ploy has worked! This i not surprising in the US where the convert t Islam (in Mecca!!) Brennan was the Director of CIA and the head of counterintelligence Strzock spent his childhood and was educated in Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I am sure that penetration with sleepers that have been lately awakening is on he same level in MI 5 and MI 6.

Read this piece from POLITICO. November 20, 2016

“For Trump supporters, the media were seen as an extension of the Democratic elite—and they weren’t entirely incorrect. The brazen media bias—not just against Trump, but also, more pertinently, against Bernie Sanders—and the Democratic Party’s undermining of Sanders only validated the frustration of the right, and Trump’s narrative of a corrupt, elite Democratic chokehold on American politics.

As Vivek Chibber, a sociologist at New York University, tells me, “The media is responsible not just for hyping Clinton over Sanders, but also for bringing Trump up in a way that only hyped him even more—lampooning and dismissing him instead of taking seriously the way in which he was speaking to disaffected voters.”

“To many on the right and left, media had become an extension of the Democratic Party’s already stacked effort—through superdelegates and plotting to undermine Sanders—to thwart the political upheaval that promised to follow a Sanders, or Trump, presidency.”

How the Left Created Trump
Nov. 8 represented an explosion of anger on the right at years of smugness and disdain by liberals.

By ROB HOFFMAN November 20, 2016
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/how-the-left-created-donald-trump-214472

Well before Donald Trump declared he was running—to the amusement of the liberal media and Washington establishment, who didn’t stop laughing until Nov. 8—and long before Hillary Clinton dismissed half of Trump’s supporters as “deplorables,” the right had gotten used to being looked down upon by liberals. The general attitude of the left was: Disagree with us? You’re probably racist, xenophobic, sexist, bigoted or all of the above. Indeed, for many liberal Americans, these prejudices have come to be seen as inseparable from identity of the Republican Party itself. And when the GOP went all-out Trump, it only confirmed to many liberals that their ideological opponents were no longer worthy of respect.

The attitude extended way beyond election politics. Over the past few years at universities across America, for example, liberal students effectively banned Republicans from delivering commencement speeches by protesting speakers like Karl Rove, Rand Paul and Condoleezza Rice, forcing them to withdraw.

On Nov. 8, it appears, the right decided it finally had enough of this smugness. Conservative voters—including many former working-class Democrats who made the difference in key states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—sent the message that they’d had enough not only of losing economically, but also of being sneered at. Trump’s rise in popularity—and ultimately his election to the presidency—should be seen as a long-building reaction to grass-roots liberal activism that came to dominate the cultural landscape and claim victory after victory in the social arena, whether the issue was abortion or gay marriage or transgender rights, always accompanied by that same disdain for right-wing views as worthy of the Stone Age. Trump’s rise to power evolved out of this frustration, as Clinton’s campaign increasingly became an extension of liberal America’s smug style of debate—an attitude that no longer disputed on grounds of policy or intellectual differences, but on the issue of the integrity of the right altogether.

By writing off right-wing Americans as deleterious to the ethical integrity of the country, left-wing Americans increasingly demonstrated that they hardly saw a place for the Republican Party in 21st century America at all. The ragtag nature of Trump’s campaign—delivering him to the forefront of the Republican Party while simultaneously dismantling it—only validated liberals’ righteousness. Recall that right up to election, the popular meme in the media was the conservative movement was in a state of collapse, and the liberals were dominant.

“The left has done very well in the cultural wars in the last couple of decades,” says Dalton Conley, an American sociologist and professor at Princeton University, “but there’s often a backlash.”

***

Now the reckoning comes. While there is a clear need to rectify the indisputable disadvantages faced by America’s marginalized peoples—from the LGBTQ community to Muslims and people of color—Trump’s victory seems to indicate that unmitigated social activism can have unintended consequences.

Conley compares this to “the backlash after the civil rights movement in the form of Nixon.”

Nowhere was this tension more apparent than America’s college and university campuses where students’ pursuit of social justice left many people feeling that their free speech was under attack. Expectations for teachers to reshape their lessons around the phenomena of “micro-aggressions” and “triggers” led many faculty members across the country to question their ability to educate students at all, without fear of offending them. Last year, Yale’s Erika Christakis was forced to resign following student backlash to a seemingly innocuous email that attempted to engage students with respectful discourse about cultural appropriation—following which, one student wrote in the Yale Herald, “I don’t want to debate. I want to talk about my pain.”

Herein lies the problem with the left’s “by any means necessary” style of social activism: When any challenge to the prevailing liberal doctrine, cast under the wrong light, can forever cast one as a “racist,” those with dissenting opinions are left with only two options: concede, or retaliate.

Trump appealed to the latter by forming the populist right-wing counterpart to the left’s stubborn ethos.

Through this lens, Clinton’s candidacy can be seen as the political counterpart of liberal university students asserting that discussion is now off the table, where anything less than concession is morally suspect.

To many Trump supporters, Clinton—whose own record is far from spotless—was merely another “PC” liberal griping about “micro-aggressions” and “triggering” language. To many white working-class Democrats, she had simply failed to address their increasingly pressing concerns.

“Having served in the ’92 Clinton campaign, and having been part of the economic dialogue with the Midwest in the industrial heartland in 1992 when we did very well, it’s hard for me to understand how Hillary’s campaign didn’t really see the centrality of her leading with economic issues,” says Simon Rosenberg, founder of the New Democratic Network and veteran strategist for the Democratic Party.

A Gallup poll assessing what Americans perceived as the “most important problem facing this country today” helps to explain the disillusionment of this once-faithful constituency: “Economic problems” consistently took the No. 1 spot, while issues like “lack of respect for each other” and “unifying the country” appeared at the bottom of the list.

Trump’s campaign rhetoric and slogans were aimed directly at the former, while Clinton (“stronger together”) chose the latter. Rosenberg says Clinton’s misjudgment of voters’ concerns is his greatest criticism of her campaign.

While Clinton traveled the country insisting that “America is great, because America is good,” Trump was busy cultivating a vision of economic prosperity—“make America great again”—with the promise of “beautiful” and “tremendous” and “big-league” change.

Nowhere was the backlash from this act of liberal smugness more deeply felt than the Rust Belt states, in which counties like Kenosha, Wisconsin, broke more than 40 years of Democratic support in favor of Trump.

“The Democratic Party abandoned the economic issues that had locked that constituency into the party, so that the political contest became an almost purely ideological and cultural one,” says Dylan John Riley, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley.

And by waging a war against right-wing ethics, the Democratic Party, supported by the elite media, underestimated the true extent of Trump’s support—perhaps because most were too embarrassed to admit their allegiance—while playing right into the hands of Trump’s anti-“PC” rhetoric.

For Trump supporters, the media were seen as an extension of the Democratic elite—and they weren’t entirely incorrect. The brazen media bias—not just against Trump, but also, more pertinently, against Bernie Sanders—and the Democratic Party’s undermining of Sanders only validated the frustration of the right, and Trump’s narrative of a corrupt, elite Democratic chokehold on American politics.

As Vivek Chibber, a sociologist at New York University, tells me, “The media is responsible not just for hyping Clinton over Sanders, but also for bringing Trump up in a way that only hyped him even more—lampooning and dismissing him instead of taking seriously the way in which he was speaking to disaffected voters.”

Regardless of the thuggish, misguided and inflammatory reaction of Trump supporters to media bias that has encouraged the donning of T-shirts reading “Tree. Rope. Journalist. (Some assembly required),” it’s not hard to empathize with their growing scorn for the media elite.

To many on the right and left, media had become an extension of the Democratic Party’s already stacked effort—through superdelegates and plotting to undermine Sanders—to thwart the political upheaval that promised to follow a Sanders, or Trump, presidency.

While superdelegates were ultimately not the deciding factor—Clinton led in votes, states and pledged delegates—the undemocratic tone of the Democratic Party’s push for Clinton only further exacerbated Americans’ desperation for political reform. White working-class Democrats who showed significant support for Sanders during the primaries fled the party in droves following Clinton’s nomination, as the arrogance of the Democratic Party promptly bent the political spectrum into a horseshoe.

Ironically, while liberal America flouted the authoritarian undertones of Trump’s campaign, their own party demonstrated a lack of interest in public opinion, foisting their chosen candidate on Americans as if to say: We will decide what’s best for you. The result was more fuel to the growing fire of frustration among Americans for political elites and the status quo—power structures that a Trump presidency promised to topple.

By the end of the primaries—in which Clinton was often referred to as the “presumptive nominee” before being prematurely declared the nominee—the arrogance of the Democratic Party superseded itself once more by assuming Clinton’s presidency inevitable.

During the Clinton-Trump debates, liberals everywhere rolled their eyes at the embarrassment of a seasoned politician like Clinton needing to debate such an obviously ham-fisted opponent. Vox’s Emily Crockett put her finger on it with an article titled “Clinton’s debate performance spoke to every woman who has had to humor an incompetent man.”

Following Trump’s victory, many see the protests staged across the country as an extension of liberal America’s unwillingness—still!—to bend to its Republican counterparts. While the outcome of this election was upsetting for many—Trump’s presidency is not simply terrifying for immigrants and minorities, but could have irreversible environmental consequences—liberals are seemingly yet to grasp why they lost this election.

While of course the Democratic Party has a future, Trump’s presidency will require liberals to reassess a flawed, righteous identity that all but forced right-wing America’s—so desperate for change—hands to the stove, to elect the only candidate who demonstrated the potential for reform.

Yet that reckoning has yet to happen.

In the years to come, when we look back on Trump’s victory, this is why it will be remembered less as a win for Republicans than as a failure for the Democrats—the result of liberal America’s unwillingness to compromise, or even show magnanimity in the face of all its victories on social issues.

How do you tell a catholic that their religion is not the universal true religion same as how can you tell muslims that their god allah does not exist-IMPOSSIBLE!! THE SIMPLE REASON BEING THEY ARE BLINDED BY SATAN SO TO SPEAK AND THEY CAN NOT SEE-THEY WALK IN DARKNESS. REMEMBER SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF LIES AND A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING. HE ONLY NEEDED TO DEVISE ONE LIE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND SIN ENTERED INTO ALL HUMANITY TILL THIS DAY. SATAN HAS NO REAL POWER ONLY THE ABILITY TO DECEIVE ONCE WE BELIEVE IN A LIE(SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE)THEN WE ARE DECEIVED AND THEREBY CAN NOT SEE AND ARE BLINDED AND WALK IN DARKNESS.

To all islam of this earth l speak and will not cease. Satan has got you by the neck and is laughing for he sees your day is coming. In the New World Order to come (only by Gods authority not by jews) “Everyone from the least to the greatest shall know the Lord (who he really is)..and the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea..We shall then all know his ways and every living person on earth after nuclear war and God s wrath has been unleashed shall then be at peace and comforted and looked after-no more suffering. Fo God shall rule this earth with a rod of iron and the Laws of Moses(The law of the Lord is perfect)shall be instituted in the earth.

And again to all islam l speak the wrath of God is coming for you and your time is short. When every eye shall see the Lord of all the earth returning -you shall see it with your own eyes and you shall then know and only then that you shall be punished with severity-that will be your portion for the evils that you are doing to all the peoples of this earth. You do not realize that you are in opposition to the true creator-you just do not get it do you? This supreme and powerful single being who created us all with his mighty power out of nothing from within himself to all islam you shall be in terrible fear and dread on that day when He appears in the clouds of heaven.

And why has the earth all of these problems and evils-well first of all the heart of man is DECEITFUL,and desperately wicked(they find reason to justify doing evil and what they do they may well not see that it as evil (in their eyes- their view)but IT IS! Remember SATAN WAS A LIAR AND MURDERER AND A DECEIVER FROM THE BEGINNING.That s why 7 billion people are walking in a darkness which they can not comprehend(l can though) – once yoiu believe something that is not true to be a lie you are already blind and can not see or realize that you are deceived. THERE IS NOT ONE RELIGION OF MAN ON THIS EARTH THAT IS TRUE.THE LORD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY(MAN-MADE)RELIGION OF ANY KIND. Because of this the whole earth(7 billion)are seen as the children of disobedience and also the children destined to face God s wrath when he comes to shake terribly the whole earth. There are those who are chosen by him who shall reign with him in the new world order(not of men not of the jews either) to come. Thirdly this world is under the curse of the Laws of Moses as surely as gravity is a law which you can not change(from the Old Testament of the Bible) and because man does not look to God for the answers therefore he is left to his own ways and devises and reaps according to his ways. 7 billion people do not care about the creator -simple as that!!Of course there are those that do and they are few in number!! lf all the British white peoples(and that is not a racist statement (SINCE THEIR ANCESTORS ARE OF WHITE ORIGIN) would make a day of prayer for all England and the wellfare of its people to the GOD OF HEAVEN(THE LORD GOD OF THE BIBLE) on your knees he shall hear you and he shall answer you and help you and deliver you. Remember Churchill had prayer for the soldiers in the great war and God answered! Where else can you turn. This people of the earth are turning more and more away from God s ways that why He must return soon!!

To all England l shall declare it-You are God s (‘national lsrael”)people not the jews in lsrael(they are hybrid)along with the caucasian(white) peoples of Australia Canada New Zealand and America. But the Word of God says “There is none so blind as my people lsrael”(national lsrael) The British peoples do not realize that they are the descendants of the children of lsrael whom Moses brought out from Egypt to the promised land -that is they are Gods people-simple!! And Queen Elizabeth 11 is the 144 th descendant of David King of lsrael who slew goliath of the phillistines(the Old Testament of the bible). Well islam(muslims)do not realize that they are actually fighting against the Lord himself but God said we would be sifted through the nations – that is we will get a bloody nose in any conflict of war. lslam you are wgainst the western world you are also against the Lord God himself because they are his (national)people.

l say all that l say because it angers me for the evils that islam is doing in the earth (there agenda is to take over the whole earth with their false ideology)and the evils that this world is doing though it is not my concern l see evil happening very quickly now and that means the Lord shall reveal himself to all the inhabitants of the earth as He has prophesied through his holy prophets of the bible in the clouds of heaven with all his holy angels….And in that Day of the Lord come He set four angels to all four corners of the earth and they shall shake the whole earth with a great noise and all the tall buildings that the rich people have built shall fall and many shall die because of (the rich)this as well. God said in his Word “The rich cause our oppression” And “Woe to them that dwell in the earth”-all these things must be!

ISLAM YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FACE UP TO THE CREATOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY- THE HOLY SCRIPTURES OF THE WORD OF GOD SAYS “IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD” BUT YOU SHALL REMAIN BLIND AS SATAN HAS GOT YOU BY THE NECK AND EVEN HE IS LAUGHING AT YOU! Anyway he is back there in the garden of Eden in his rocking chair where he only had to tell one lie for sin to permeate the whole of mankind in the earth.
