Google says it seeks to "foster sustainability at scale" and to reduce the "environmental impact" of its operations. The tech giant also claims to provide "critical information ... in moments of crisis."
When the residents of The Dalles, Oregon, attempted to figure out precisely how much of their water was being used by the local Google data center amid a drought affecting over 540,000 residents in the state, the city sued on the company's behalf to keep the amount a secret.

A corrupt political weapon of the left!-----The CDC Buried a Study That Conflicted With the Left's Gun Control Narrative
The CDC Buried a Study That Conflicted With the Left's Gun Control Narrative"...Before the pandemic, most of us probably assumed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was a competent and apolitical institution.
How wrong we were.
But the CDC’s bias extends far beyond pushing the “right” COVID-19 narrative, and it has established itself as a left-leaning bureaucracy masquerading as a health organization.

Dr. Fauci complains about 'untruths' in society, but exposes his sleight of hand in the process - TheBlaze
Dr. Fauci complains about 'untruths' in society, but exposes his sleight of hand in the process - TheBlaze:
By couching his criticism in the context of "anti-science," "misinformation," and "disinformation," Fauci's rhetorical sleight of hand is clear. What he means by "untruths" is any perspective that contradicts his definition of "truth" or the definition as established by those who hold the power in society, in this case elite institutions and the federal government.
After all, "truth" was notoriously flexible during the COVID-19 pandemic.

- PETER HITCHENS: Britain is slowly turning into a version of the mad old East Germany, with equality and diversity the new Marxism... even worse, it's happening under the Tories
- ...One of the main features of the old Communist states was exactly this — the incessant propaganda. From kindergarten upwards, then in the youth movements and in the schools — and finally in the workplace — the message of Marxism was hammered home, often by teachers who did not believe it themselves but wanted to keep their jobs.

Biden administration boating proposal would be 'greatest regulatory overreach' of its kind, critics warn | Fox News:
"This would be the greatest regulatory overreach in American maritime law" — that’s how Frank Hugelmeyer describes a proposal by the Biden administration to limit the speed of all motorboats over 35 feet from Florida to Massachusetts. "Not only are they creating a serious safety issue, they are creating a massive negative economic impact."
Hugelmeyer is president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and he is just one of a growing number of voices expressing outrage over the proposal put forward by the U.S. Commerce Department under the auspices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
"It’s stupid," said Jeff Angers, the president of the Center for Sportfishing Policy. "It’s not what government is supposed to do."
